Chapter 521
She Is From The Countryside
?
521 thank the ladyâs good friend
âsince it wasnât miss muâs intention to be here tonight, why didnât you explain it clearly from the beginning? she even stayed by jing xuanâs side the whole time to deliberately cause me to misunderstand. itâs been almost an hour since you came to the jiang family, right?â
although they said they were sticking to jing xuan, mu xingxing didnât do anything out of line.
It was after she came here that she sat down with Jing Xuan and stood up with him. She didnât hold Jing Xuanâs arm and pester him.
She didnât even speak much.
But her actions were indeed not very likable.
It was mainly because she had come to Jing Xuan to make her presence known as soon as she had appeared. She had told him that it was Madam Jing who had asked her to come over, and had even handed the phone to Jing Xuan.
jing xuan didnât take her phone.
mu xingxing told madam jing on the other side of the phone in front of everyone that she had arrived at the jiang familyâs residence and had seen jing xuan. she also said that she would get along well with jing xuan.
as soon as she hung up, mrs. jing called jing xuan.
Madam Jing had said something that made Jing Xuan hold back his anger for the entire night.
however, the reason why he could hold back his anger was mainly because jupiter had not done anything out of line except sticking to him like a shadow.
Mu Xing also didnât find fault with song Meilian.
In addition, this was the Jiang familyâs private meeting, so Jing Xuan didnât want to make a scene and ruin the atmosphere.
The strange atmosphere had been maintained until now.
âEven though it wasnât my intention, there are some things I had to do. There are too many people from small families that canât be offended. There are so many people here tonight, who can guarantee that one or two people wonât go out and spread the news to Madam Jing?â
âyou have to put on a good show,â
Mu Xingxingâs tone was a little self-deprecating.
The few of them listened to her without any change in their emotions.
he didnât seem to have much sympathy.
Jiang Rui was the first to respond to her. She smiled.âMiss mu is right, but Yingluo, why donât you continue to pretend? Arenât you afraid that if Madam Jing hears about this, everything youâve done will be in vain?â
âIsnât that the case?â
mu xingxing looked at shi yan, who was sitting with a wine glass in her hand. â iâve heard of miss shi yanâs great name. i should say that there arenât many people in haicheng who havenât heard of her. â
âMiss Shi Yan is miss songâs roommate and good friend. She also has the backing of a powerful figure like the fifth Lord Jiang. i was afraid of offending miss shi yan, so i didnât dare to make your friend unhappy in your presence. this is a very good reason, and i believe that mrs. jing can understand me. after all, a nobody like me wouldnât even dare to offend the lady of the jing family, who doesnât have any real power.â
âItâs not easy for a small figure to make a living. Iâll make you laugh.â Mu Xingxing generously admitted that she was a small figure, as if she did not think it was embarrassing.
Jiang Rui and song Meilian couldnât see through her and didnât know if they should believe her.
the two of them looked at shi yan.
âItâs good that youâve made it clear. Miss mu doesnât have to take it to heart.â Shi Yan said with a smile.
âItâs fate that we can sit together. Letâs have a drink.â
âof course i wonât mind. iâve already seen through these things. iâm sincerely grateful that youâre willing to believe me. Letâs not talk too much, letâs drink. Iâll toast you!â
He raised his glass and drank it in one go.
He was very forthright.
it was a huge contrast to her obedient appearance.
Jiang Rui and song Meilian saw Shi Yan also smile and drink a mouthful of wine towards Jupiter. They exchanged a confused look and also raised their glasses.
They couldnât guess Shi Yanâs thoughts.
did she really believe what mu xingxing said?
The few of them drank for a while, and they chatted while drinking. Jiang Rui got a lot of information from mu Xingxing.
she learned that mu xing had been studying abroad and had just returned from school. she met lady jing by chance and lady jing expressed her strong affection for her. she said that she wanted her to be her daughter-in-law and that she would introduce her to master jing when the time came.
knowing that she studied photography and was quite famous in the industry, jiang rui expressed her admiration and praise for her.
As they chatted, Jiang Heng brought them two plates of barbeque.
he sat down nearby.
jiang rui took a bite of the skewer and looked at him. â âwhy did you sit down? arenât you going to roast it?â
âMy dear sister, Iâve been roasting for so long, wonât I get tired? I also need to rest, okay? Eh, why does this sister look so unfamiliar? Iâve never seen her before, right? How should I address you?â
The latter part of the sentence was naturally directed at mu.
It was no coincidence that he came over.
It was Shi Yan who had sent him a message asking him to come over and help.
there were some questions that children would ask without any restraint, and they could achieve unexpected results.
when he received shi yanâs message, jiang heng thought that he had read it wrong. after confirming it again and again, he was very excited.
He was already very happy that Shi Yan thought of him, not to mention that she was asking him for help.
he instantly felt that he had a burden on his shoulders. he was determined to live up to her expectations. he took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. then, he used the excuse of delivering barbecue to them to carry out his mission.
âMu Xing, the MU family. the mu family isnât a big family in haicheng. you might not have heard of it, but iâm a few years older than you. if you donât mind, you can call me sister mu.â
Jiang Heng followed her advice and called out sweetly, â âSister mu!â
âOh, I remember now. My sister just received a call from Jing city. I think it was from the eldest daughter of the Xie family. She asked my sister to take good care of you and said that you are her good friend. sister mu, are you close to this miss xie? How did you know each other?â
â you donât have to tell me if itâs inconvenient for you. iâm just a little curious. â jiang heng laughed. i donât know what kind of family the xie family is, but i heard from my big brother that the xie family is very powerful, so i canât help but be curious. iâve heard of a lot of powerful families, but there arenât many that can make my big brother fear them.â
â itâs like this. you may not know this, but my big brother is very powerful and bold. he also has my fifth uncle as his backer. there are very few people who can be so valued by him. â
âdid xingran call miss jiang?â
Mu Xingxing seemed a little surprised.
Then, as if he was a little touched, he smiled helplessly and said, â âWhatâs wrong with xingran? I just mentioned it to her casually and she actually took it to heart. Heâs probably afraid that Iâll get bullied. Itâs my first time attending an event like tonight.â
Jiang Heng seemed to be very interested. He didnât interrupt her and quietly listened to her.
âitâs a coincidence that xingran and i became friends. iâm studying abroad, in the same school as xingran. When I first went abroad, my foreign language wasnât good, and I was very introverted. Itâs inevitable that Iâll run into trouble when Iâm alone in a foreign country.â
âThere was one time when I was in trouble, and xingran happened to pass by and helped me. We came from the same country, and we both had the word âXingâ in our names, so we became friends after a while.â
âXingran has always taken good care of me.â
âso thatâs how it is. it must be fate that you two became friends.â jiang heng said with emotion.
âisnât that so.â
âsince miss mu is a friend of the eldest daughter of the xie family, why donât you ask her for help with madam jing? The Xie family is not an ordinary family and the Xie familyâs young lady is also not an ordinary person. Solving your little trouble is just a matter of a word for her. â
Shi Yan also seemed to be very interested and joined in the gossip camp.
They were both smart people. Jiang Rui and song Meilian had a rough idea of Jiang Hengâs sudden visit to mu Xingxing.
However, neither of them showed it on their faces.
He only agreed with Shi Yan.
âyes, no matter how powerful family jing is in haicheng, they canât be compared with the big families in the capital. itâs only the wife of family jing who has no real power who is making things difficult for you.â Jiang Rui said.
Song Meilian added,âRui âer has the Jiang family, the Yu family, and the SU family as her backing, so she is very confident. But even so, Ruiâ er has to give face to miss Xie.â if eldest miss xie spoke up for you, madam jing wouldnât dare to not give her face.â
