Chapter 21

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xiubai took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at Jiang Yutong at the door, and said: “Are you done yet? I just came to get my wedding gifts.

You’re chattering away like a mosquito, and you don’t have to stare at me with both eyes. Don’t worry, I’m living a good life now and won’t steal your dowry.”

Jiang Yutong···

She was furious at the moment, but with a pitiful look on her face, she explained in a low voice, “Sister, sister, you, how could you think of me like this? We’ve lived together for so many years, you know who I am, how could I possibly keep staring at you?”

When she said this, her voice was full of grievance, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.

Lu Yuhan, who had been sitting on the sofa, had been paying attention to the direction of the room.

Hearing Jiang Yutong’s voice, he could no longer sit still.

He stood up and walked towards the room. When he reached the door, he held Jiang Yutong’s shoulders with both hands and comforted her, “Yutong, don’t be angry. Just stay away from Xiubai from now on. She must have found out yesterday that the person she was marrying wasn’t me, and she’s still mad at us.”

As he spoke, he nodded secretly. Yes, that’s right. She must be very sad, Lu Yuhan thought.

Jiang Yutong also thought that what Brother Yu Han said made sense. Thinking that Jiang Xiubai might have been alone in bed crying secretly for half the night, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little better.

Jiang Xiubai in the room rolled his eyes to the sky.

I sighed that the two people at the door must be mentally ill, each one was more dramatic than the other.

After she packed her luggage, the two people at the door finally came to their senses and looked at her.

Jiang Xiubai stood up and said to the two of them, “Everyone in the compound must know about yesterday’s incident. I’m sure everyone is waiting to see what we’ll do next. I think you two need to do me a favor to prevent everyone from watching the Lu family’s show.”

Lu Yuhan frowned and said coldly: “What do you say?”

Jiang Xiubai: “Do you see the dowry in front of me? I’ve sorted it out. Now, you two have to help me send my things back to the Lu family. If others see it on the way, they will definitely think that our relationship is still very good. What do you think?”

Jiang Yutong and Lu Yuhan looked at each other and both thought this method was feasible.

Lu Yuhan then turned to look at Jiang Xiubai in the room, raised his eyebrows and said, “Okay, after you send your things over, I’ll take Yutong’s luggage back with me.”

Jiang Xiubai glanced at Jiang Yutong beside him and nodded calmly: “Okay.”

Jiang Yutong felt a little guilty at this moment.

In fact, only half of her things were there, and they were not very important things. However, she felt relieved when she thought that Lu Yuhan, a grown man, would definitely not pay attention to these things.

By the time we returned to the Lu family’s small building, more than half an hour had passed.

We met a lot of people on the way, and when they saw the three of us, they all looked gossipy and curious.

Everyone came forward to say hello, so the short distance only took so long.

After arriving home, Jiang Xiubai asked the two of them to move their luggage to the second floor without any hesitation and told them to put their things at the stairs.

As for the two wooden boxes, Jiang Xiubai was worried about the two people, so he carried them back by himself, but he was very tired.

After moving the wooden boxes and luggage into the room, Jiang Xiubai went downstairs.

Old Mrs. Lu had been waiting at home and saw several people take the luggage upstairs and come down again.

She sat down and said to Jiang Xiubai with concern, “Xiubai, you must be tired. Sit down and rest for a while.”

Jiang Xiubai responded with a smile and sat down.

Lu Yuhan was looking at Old Lady Lu with a surprised expression on his face.

He was a little confused and wondered what was wrong with grandma. Why had she never shown concern for him in such a kind tone?

Retracting his thoughts, Lu Yuhan smiled and said, “Grandma, have you had breakfast?”

Old Madam Lu glanced at him sideways, took a sip from the teacup on the coffee table in front of her, and said nonchalantly, “Don’t you see what time it is? You’re still eating breakfast. Only young people like you would sleep in at this time.”

The expression on Lu Yuhan’s face froze.

He touched his face helplessly and said carefully: “Grandma, I got up at six in the morning, how could I possibly sleep in?”

Old Mrs. Lu responded casually, said nothing more, and continued to drink her tea.

Jiang Yutong, who was beside Lu Yuhan, saw this and said with a smile, “Grandma, what kind of tea are you drinking? It smells really good to me.”

Mrs. Lu took another sip, put the teacup on the coffee table, and said, “Have you heard of Maojian?”

Jiang Yutong didn’t know much about the tea industry in his previous life.

She only knows the famous ones, such as West Lake Longjing, Tieguanyin, and Biluochun.

Now when she heard Mrs. Lu mention Maojian, she naturally didn’t know it, so she shook her head awkwardly and said, “No.”

Mrs. Lu sneered when she heard this.

Jiang Yutong lowered her head in a hurry and clenched her teeth tightly.

I thought to myself, you old woman, you deserve your little son to be unable to wake up in bed. You’ll be in trouble in the future.

His apparent authority was useless. Not long after his youngest son died, he was so heartbroken that he died too.

At this moment, Jiang Xiubai, who was sitting on the sofa next to her, chuckled softly and said to Old Lady Lu, “Mom, judging by the smell, I’m sure you’re drinking Duyun Maojian. This tea is produced in Duyun City, G Province, and is a type of green tea. It’s famous for its appearance and taste.”

Mrs. Lu perked up instantly and said with a smile, “Oh, then tell me about it.”

Jiang Xiubai: “The tea leaves are flat and straight, looking very natural, with white hairs hidden within them. The tea leaves are emerald green, and the aroma is pure and long-lasting. The key is the tender green leaves, which makes the tea soup clear and translucent. Sip it slowly and carefully, and you will find a fresh and sweet aftertaste.”

Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded, praising him, “Yes, yes, you’re right. The reason I like this tea is actually because when I was young, I followed my old man to Duyun, G Province to join the army. At that time, I always drank this tea. Over time, I got used to it and have been drinking it for decades.”

After she finished speaking, her face was still full of nostalgia, as if she was lamenting her youthful days.

Jiang Xiubai: “Then Mom, you and Dad must have had a very good relationship when you were young, right?”

Mrs. Lu: “What are you talking about? When we were young, it was all arranged by our parents and matchmakers. But your father and I were childhood sweethearts. Compared to other couples, our relationship is naturally better.”
