Chapter 1265: Chapter 1266: Why No More Chatting?
“You should know that when she later ‘saw’ the middle-aged paralytic ng Xinian, his face lacked any trace of a warmth-giving expression.”
Such a ng Xinian, alone, with only a wheelchair, was accompanied by a room of desolate solitude.
That is to say, regardless of whether Nian Mutong appeared in his past life, in the end, she never provided ng Xinian with any companionship or warmth.
Given that, why should she care whether the other person was a Nian or not? Why should she pay any attention to them?
Chiang Xiao glanced at the small dicinal garden newly opened on the black land, all of which were herbs that ng Chaojun needed. They had found so, and she gave him part, while the rest she planted in the Space. In a few more days, if she substituted these for the ones Chen Baoshen had given, their dicinal effects would be entirely different.
She fetched a bit of Spiritual Spring Water and watered the herbs, then saw the plants grow visibly at an alarming rate.
The water from the Spiritual Spring had a stronger effect on these herbs, whereas, for the Ginseng and Ganoderma, it was sowhat less effective.
But now the Ganoderma ginseng and Ho Shouwu in the center of her dicinal field were growing extraordinarily strong, surrounded by a faint mist.
Chiang Xiao turned and went up to the Bamboo Hut, sat down behind the desk, and picked up the booklet again to study. She had learned a few Talisman Diagrams already, and now, learning new ones helped stabilize her mind, preventing thoughts about those botherso matters.
After all, mastering these skills was the true wealth that belonged to her.
That evening, it was Aunt Guo who ca to call her for dinner.
“Miss Chiang, if it weren’t for
seeing Officer ng’s second-floor window open, I wouldn’t even know you’ve returned,” Aunt Guo whispered to her.
Chiang Xiao imdiately understood what she ant.
Duan Qingqing hadn’t inford Aunt Guo of her arrival. If Aunt Guo hadn’t seen the always closed window open, Chiang Xiao guessed that Duan Qingqing probably wouldn’t have bothered to call her for a al at all.
Quite a childish act.
With the Space, Chiang Xiao had no worries about going hungry.
Not to ntion that her Space was stocked with lots of jerky and snacks; even without those, she could simply use the White Jade Furnace to prepare a al, which would taste so much better.
Since Aunt Guo ca to call her, of course, she would go downstairs to eat.
But what surprised her was that Du Jinruo was still there!
Du Jinruo, Nian Mutong, and Duan Qingqing –three incredibly beautiful won– were sitting at the dining table under the light, an aesthetically pleasing sight.
The ng Family’s dining table was round, with Duan Qingqing sitting in Old ng’s usual spot, Nian Mutong and Du Jinruo each on her left and right.
There were six dishes and one soup on the table, and they had already started eating.
The three of them were chatting and laughing as they ate, seeming to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere.
Chiang Xiao walked over and pulled out the chair opposite Duan Qingqing to sit down.
Aunt Guo quickly said, “Miss Chiang, I’ll go serve you so rice.”
She clearly had already served a bowl of rice and set of chopsticks for Chiang Xiao, so why had they disappeared?
“Thank you, Aunt Guo,” Chiang Xiao thanked her, and while Aunt Guo went to the kitchen to serve the rice, she propped her elbow on the table, rested her cheek in hand, and glanced over at them.
“Why aren’t you talking anymore?”
Duan Qingqing bit her lip in annoyance.
This cursed Chiang Xiao truly always caught her off guard.
Aren’t young girls supposed to be thin-skinned?
Most young ladies, upon encountering such an obviously exclusive clique with such an atmosphere, would certainly feel very embarrassed and uncomfortable, unable to remain seated. Only she could sit down so calmly and even ask in surprise why they had stopped talking!
How could she be so thick-skinned!
But this Chiang Xiao always left her feeling sowhat powerless.
