Chapter 259: Ca Knocking on the Door
When she reached ho that night, Jian Ai cooked a bit of porridge. There was also a batch of pickled vegetables Chen Jin previously made in the fridge.
Over the past few days in Macau, Jian Ai had been eating and drinking without any restraint. She felt that she had gained weight, so she planned to eat sothing light to clear her stomach.
Most importantly, she did not know how to cook anything other than porridge and noodles.
There were no traces of Chen Jin coming back ho. It was probably because the production team was busier. He might need to stay by Qinghuan’s side for a longer period. However, she didn’t know how Chen Jin was doing and if he had already adapted.
“Is Elder Sister at ho?”
Just as she placed dinner on the table, a voice suddenly ca from outside the door.
This voice was sowhat unfamiliar. Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at the door curiously. In the next second, the door of the house was pulled open from the outside. Then, she saw Li Xia carrying sothing into the house.
“Younger Aunt?”
Jian Ai went to attend the wedding and had naturally seen Li Xia. However, she did not expect the other party to suddenly co to their house. She could not help but feel surprised.
“It’s Xiao Ai, right?” Li Xia smiled warmly. After placing the thing in her hand at the door, she quickly walked up to Jian Ai. Then, she sized Jian Ai up and nodded while praising, “Tsk, tsk. You’re as beautiful as your mother.”
Although Jian Ai had no feelings for Wang Yunfa, she did not slap a smiling person. Facing Li Xia, who had suddenly co to visit, Jian Ai did not show too much coldness. She said, “Why is Younger Aunt here suddenly?”
Her younger uncle’s house was located south of Zhonglou District. Although the two districts were next to each other, they were not close.
Li Xia pulled a stool and sat down when she heard that. Then, she smiled and said, “I ca here once two days ago, but the door was locked and no one was at ho. I was on the way to your grandmother’s house and happened to pass by. I thought I would co and take a look.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xia looked around and asked, “Where are your mother and brother?”
“They’re not at ho. I’m alone,” Jian Ai said.
“Oh…” No one knew that Wang Yuni was hospitalized. Even Wang Yunzhi did not know, so Li Xia did not think too much about it. She just thought that Wang Yuni had gone to work and that she had co at the wrong ti.
When her gaze landed on the porridge and pickled vegetables on the dining table, a look of disdain flashed across Li Xia’s eyes. However, she pretended to be concerned and said, “Oh, why are you eating this for dinner? Didn’t your mother cook for you?”
“My stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently. I feel better after drinking so porridge,” Jian Ai said casually.
Wang Yuni was not at ho. Li Xia thought that she had made a wasted trip again. However, she had to work during the day and could only co at night.
There was nothing to talk about with a fourteen-year-old girl. Li Xia imdiately stood up and said to Jian Ai, “Xiao Ai, quickly eat then. I still have to go to your grandmother’s house. When your mother is back, rember to tell her that I was here.”
As she spoke, Li Xia walked to the door and picked up two plastic bags. There were so fruits and a roasted duck inside. “Aunt bought this for you. You can’t just eat porridge. Eat the duck leg later. They’re delicious!”
Jian Ai didn’t refuse and just nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Aunt. There’s nothing good at ho today, so I won’t keep you for dinner.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll go to your grandmother’s place to eat. Eat quickly,” Li Xia said and opened the door with the remaining two plastic bags.
After Li Xia left, the smile on Jian Ai’s face gradually faded. She looked down at the fruits and roasted duck in her hand and curled her lips. She thought that there was no one at ho, so it would be a waste not to eat them.
She turned around and went into the kitchen with the roasted duck.
