Chapter 133 He will wait for her
After sitting down, Jiang's father personally explained why he didn't pick her up at the door. His words clearly showed how much he valued her as Jiang Xu's "girlfriend".
Jiang Wan originally came with the intention of helping, but now he couldn't help feeling a bit guilty for deceiving his elders.
Jiang Xu was always paying attention to her expression, so he quickly noticed something and glanced sideways at Lin Jin.
"Mom, how have you been recovering these past two days?"
Lin Jin was stunned, and then she remembered that she had said on the phone last night that she had a severe headache, so Jiang Xu specifically mentioned that Jiang Wan’s main trip was to visit her.
Of course this cannot be exposed, otherwise it would seem that she, as an elder, is very unstable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jin hurriedly coughed lightly and sighed, "It's still the same as before, but maybe because I knew Wanwan would come tonight, I am still in better spirits than before, right, Old Jiang?"
A hint of helplessness flashed across Jiang's father's eyes, but he naturally couldn't expose his wife in front of Jiang Wan, so he just nodded and turned to look at Jiang Wan.
"I heard from Jiang Xu that you live near Beijing University now? How is the neighborhood? Is it safe?"
Jiang Xu had already talked about Jiang Wan's situation last night, but it was just a brief mention.
Now that he has met the person, he can see that the girl Jiang Xu brought this time is probably really a girl he has feelings for, so Jiang's father naturally becomes concerned about Jiang Wan's safety.
Jiang Wan curled his lips and said softly, "Don't worry, uncle, the security of the community is still very good."
Father Jiang nodded, and when he was about to say something, Lin Jin stood up.
"Okay, let's go to the dining table and talk. Wanwan must be hungry after a day of work, and the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
"I cooked my best soup tonight. Wanwan, if you like it, you have to drink more."
In fact, Jiang's mother's soup was indeed very good, and Jiang Wan also drank two small bowls to give her face.
But she still didn't feel at ease while eating this meal, so she occasionally revealed some of her worries unconsciously.
Lin Jin just thought she was nervous, so she took her to the courtyard for a walk to help digest her food, and during that time she mostly cared about whether she needed anything in her life.
The more Jiang Wan listened, the heavier his heart felt. In the end, he only remembered very clearly what Lin Jin said before she left.
"Wanwan, I really liked you the first time I saw you, so you must come to see me and your uncle more often when you have time in the future, and treat us as your relatives, okay?"
No matter how complicated Jiang Wan's mood was, he had no choice but to agree.
Before getting in the car, Lin Jin put a jade bracelet on her hand that was extremely transparent and delicate, and was obviously worth a lot of money.
Jiang Wan really didn't dare to accept it and refused again and again. Finally, Jiang Xu took it.
After the car drove for a distance, Jiang Wan couldn't help but asked Jiang Xu to stop first.
It wasn't until the car was completely turned off that she looked up at Jiang Xu and said softly, "Brother Xu, why don't you explain it clearly to your uncle and aunt? I'm afraid they will be even more disappointed if they find out later."
Jiang Xu naturally noticed that she was in a bad mood, but he also saw that her emotions were not only caused by pretending to be his girlfriend.
Seeing the girl's eyes, which were always full of smiles, suddenly turned a light blue, he felt as if something was grabbing his heart. After a moment, he asked in a low voice, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Wan was silent for a long time, lowered her eyelashes, and spoke word by word: "I just feel very guilty. The better my uncle and aunt treat me, the more I feel that I shouldn't deceive them."
"I am just an orphan. With such a background, ordinary families would have concerns. So I am really grateful that my uncle and aunt have no prejudice against me at all."
At the same time, she unconsciously recalled what 0366 had mentioned about her mother Jiang Lan being wantonly humiliated by Meng Huainian's parents when she was more than six months pregnant with her.
"But my mother was different. She met someone completely different."
After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled, but the corners of her eyes were clearly wet with tears.
Jiang Xu's throat rolled slightly, and his chest hurt as if it had been hit by a club after being looked at.
He raised his hand and hugged her in his arms, whispering beside her neck: "Wanwan, you don't have to feel sorry, you just did what I asked you to do for me."
"Even if they are disappointed, they will only be disappointed in me. Do you think they are very happy tonight?"
"They are happy not because of me, but because of you."
Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"but……"
"No buts."
Jiang Xu raised the corner of his lips and patted her back lightly.
"My father has been through so much and met so many people, how could he not see anything?"
Jiang Wan's eyes were slightly startled and she stepped out of his arms.
"Did Uncle see that?"
Jiang Xu stared at her for a long while before he hummed softly, took out his cell phone, opened something and placed it in front of her.
"My father sent it to me during a chat."
Jiang Wan lowered his eyes and took a look.
It is the WeChat chat record between Jiang Xu and his father.
Jiang's father sent two messages to Jiang Xu.
【If you like it, pursue it well. 】
[Otherwise, it will be exposed too early, and I won’t speak well of you in front of your mother.]
These two sentences indeed indicate that Jiang's father has noticed something is wrong.
But it also means...
Jiang Wan's breathing became slightly disordered, and when she raised her eyes again, she met the man's deep eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the atmosphere around them suddenly became filled with an inexplicable ambiguity.
In fact, Jiang Xu had never intended to treat what happened tonight as a lie.
His mother's urging had no effect on him at all, he just pretended not to hear it.
I brought Jiang Wan here tonight with only one purpose from the beginning to the end.
Tell her his feelings.
Then, just as Jiang Xujing was looking at Jiang Wan and was about to speak, the sound of a cell phone vibrating suddenly rang out in the originally silent car.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and subconsciously looked at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu lowered his eyelids, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he still said, "Take it."
The look the girl gave him was enough to tell him that now was not a good time.
But enough is enough.
This look also shows that she should have understood it.
He will wait for her.
Anyway, even if he doesn't wait, he probably won't be able to like anyone else.
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and reached for his cell phone to take a look.
It’s Xie Heng.
She hesitated and pressed the answer button, but only one sentence came from the other end.
"Wanwan, where are you?"
