Wan Chu’er was on the verge of tears; how could it be such a coincidence!
Could it really be that Jiang Kechu had people surveilling her? She had barely sat down at ho, and there he was, knocking on her door.
Without even looking back, she could imagine Xiao Bai’s rage.
Jiang Kechu, this is all your doing, why did you have to hit Xiao Bai’s nose!
After sending off the person who delivered the keys, Wan Chu’er walked towards the living room sowhat unnaturally, glancing at Xiao Bai.
If Xiao Bai were angry, he would cross his arms, snicker coldly, and not even look at her.
Wan Chu’er quickly took a seat in the sa chair as before and said with a pleading tone:
"Second Brother, it’s not what you’re thinking. Just ask, and I will tell you everything with nothing left out, the whole story, every bit of it."
Xiao Bai haughtily snorted and finally graced Wan Chu’er with a look.
"First, tell where Jiang Kechu cos from."
Uh...
How silly was that question? Could she say he was born from Mrs. Jiang?
Seeing Wan Chu’er hesitating, Xiao Bai snorted again.
Wan Chu’er had no choice but to say: "My father was a martyr, Jiang Kechu visited our ho representing the military unit, and after my mother passed away, he also ca to see . After I started school in Beijing, we ran into each other a few tis, and he helped quite a bit, so we got to know each other better."
Xiao Bai snorted: "A despicable man taking advantage of others’ misfortune."
Wan Chu’er hesitated for a mont but still spoke up to defend Jiang Kechu, "Jiang Kechu only started to have feelings for in this last half year; before that, we were both completely innocent."
"What do you an innocent!" Xiao Bai sneered: "How old are you, and how old is he? He’s a full ten years older than you! Wan Chu’er, you should be calling him ’uncle’. An uncle fancying his niece, tsk tsk..." He shook his head.
But she was indeed calling Jiang Kechu ’uncle’, wasn’t she? Wan Chu’er blinked her eyes and stopped talking. She realized that the more she defended Jiang Kechu, the angrier Xiao Bai got.
Seeing a humble and obedient Wan Chu’er, Xiao Bai felt a bit more satisfied, thankful that she hadn’t completely lost her senses.
"Tell about Jiang Kechu’s family." Xiao Bai continued the interrogation.
Wan Chu’er replied: "His family’re Beijing people; his father is an officer in the military, his mother a teacher, now semi-retired, and he has a younger sister nad Jiang Xiaoxiao."
She was more familiar with the Jiang family than anyone, but she dared not reveal the slightest bit of her stance, staying concise and objective in her description.
Xiao Bai curled his lip—military officer plus teacher, indeed a classic combination.
He asked again, "Where have you two progressed to now?"
Wan Chu’er responded, "We only got together when he ca to find while I was teaching in K Province."
Xiao Bai snorted twice, "Really knows how to seize an opportunity."
Wan Chu’er chuckled, "If there’s anything else you want to ask, just go ahead." Her attitude couldn’t be better.
Xiao Bai’s eyes rolled as he said, "Jiang Kechu, Wan Chu’er, don’t you think even your nas are incompatible? If it were ancient tis, it would be considered four pillars of destiny that do not match. Aren’t you afraid he’ll ’Ke’ (overco) you?"
Uh...
Wan Chu’er hadn’t expected Xiao Bai to bring up their nas, true, even the nas sounded a bit inappropriate.
It seed Xiao Bai really disliked Jiang Kechu, not to ntion the ss caused by that punch; it seed difficult to change the situation. For the mont, Wan Chu’er felt sowhat helpless.
Shall we have Xiao Bai call back again? Or just beat up Jiang Kechu to vent so frustration? Anyway, Jiang Kechu can take a beating.
Wan Chu’er thought it was a good idea, so she said with a grin, "Second Brother, I know you’re holding a grudge against Jiang Kechu for punching you..."
"What do you an holding a grudge? ’Holding a grudge’ is a derogatory term!
He punched without saying a word, am I not allowed to be angry?
Wan Chu’er, don’t be so obviously biased towards Jiang Kechu, okay? I’m your dear Second Brother, he’s an outsider!"
Xiao Bai jumped up at her words, furiously accusing Wan Chu’er of her choice of words.
Wan Chu’er hurriedly said, "Second Brother, my bad, I misspoke. What I ant was, Jiang Kechu is really bad, he deserves a beating. Since he hit you, you should hit him back. If one punch isn’t satisfying, we can stealthily hit him a few more tis. You just go ahead and punch away to your heart’s content."
Anyway, Jiang Kechu isn’t here right now, anyway, he can take a beating.
Xiao Bai imdiately cald down and asked suspiciously, "Are you serious?"
He didn’t believe Wan Chu’er would really be willing; they say love blinds people, especially won.
Wan Chu’er nodded vigorously, assuring him it was truer than true gold.
Xiao Bai said, "Then when will you call Jiang Kechu over and tell him not to fight back?"
"No problem."
Seeing how readily Wan Chu’er agreed, Xiao Bai finally felt a bit better. Rembering what Wan Chu’er had ntioned before, he asked,
"You said he helped you a few tis. Tell about it, let screen them for you, see if it’s just an old man’s trick to confuse young girls."
Wan Chu’er: "..."
That comnt was really infuriating.
After so thought, Wan Chu’er picked the incident with Li Gang and the near-drowning during her teaching stint to tell Xiao Bai, hoping that these life-saving graces could sowhat improve Jiang Kechu’s image.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was astounded and jumped right up.
"What? Soone drugged you? Why didn’t you tell ! You reckless girl, such a big incident happened and you didn’t even utter a word to . If sothing really happened to you, how could I face your mother, my Aunt!
And what kind of people are in your school, if they can’t pursue you, they either drug you or try to drown you. Indeed, an educated scoundrel is more terrifying, each worse than the next!"
Xiao Bai paced back and forth in the living room, incessantly scolding Wan Chu’er, cursing those who harbored ill intentions towards his family’s Chuchu, and complaining about the variety of people one could encounter in the vast world.
He suddenly stopped, montarily frightened by the thought of what could have happened to Chuchu if Jiang Kechu hadn’t arrived in ti on those two occasions.
He couldn’t bear to think about it. Just thinking made his back feel cold.
In a burst of anger, his brain suddenly concocted a thought: Could these two incidents have been orchestrated by Jiang Kechu? Wan Chu’er, who always appears cold, is actually the most naive at heart, and takes everything people say at face value.
Wan Chu’er saw Xiao Bai suddenly staring at her motionless, so she shrugged and asked, "What’s up, Second Brother?"
Xiao Bai said, "Second Brother needs to make good money for you, turn you into a wealthy person, then hire two personal bodyguards for you, plus a secretary or assistant. Who makes you such a trouble-magnet?"
Wan Chu’er: "..."
What kind of thought process is this? She chuckled and said, "Then let’s both work hard and strive for that."
Xiao Bai nodded earnestly.
Thinking that Jiang Kechu’s storm could finally be sidestepped, Wan Chu’er stretched lazily and said, "Second Brother, I need to freshen up and rest." With that, she headed towards the bedroom.
"Stop right there!" Xiao Bai chuckled, "Hand over that key you had just now, kiddo. Trying to play that ga with , you still need more practice."
