Chapter 457: Feeling Wronged
Now, upon hearing that it was Ming Lan who attacked Jiang Xue, he naturally understood the crux of the matter. As a result, he looked at Mu Qiancheng with some displeasure and said, "You’re still not ruthless enough in handling things!"
"I’m sorry, Grandpa, I was wrong!"
"The person you owe an apology to is not me, but Xue’er. If you had been a bit more ruthless back then, would there be so many issues now?"
"Yes, it was indeed my lack of foresight that caused trouble for Xue’er. Rest assured, Grandpa, it won’t happen again." Mu Qiancheng promised Mr. Mu.
"Hmm!" Mr. Mu nodded, then turned to Jiang Xue and asked, "Xue’er, have you been wronged this time?"
Jiang Xue smiled, not wanting to discuss the topic further, so she said, "Grandpa, we’re hungry. Is there still food at home?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Yuhua responded first, then stood up to go to the kitchen to bring the meal. However, her legs were inconvenient, so as soon as she stood up, Mrs. Jiang pressed her back down and said, "In-law, you sit, I’ll do it!"
After saying that, she stood up and went to the kitchen. In a short while, Mrs. Jiang brought out the food and then called out to Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng, "Xue’er, Qiancheng, it’s time to eat!"
Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue responded and then got up to eat. Jiang Xue’s face still hurt, so she ate only a little, which made Mu Qiancheng feel even more guilty and distressed.
After eating, Mu Qiancheng was called away by Mr. Mu for a lesson. Jiang Xue stayed to talk about what had happened before.
Everyone at home knew Ming Lan, so when they heard that Jiang Xue’s face was slapped by Ming Lan, they were all incredibly angry.
"There’s not a good person in the Jiang family. Luckily Xue’er wasn’t accepted back earlier, otherwise, they would’ve bullied her to death."
"Exactly, we thought Old Sir Jiang and Old Madam Jiang were nice, but it turns out it was just an illusion. It’s better for Xue’er to stay away from that family to avoid constantly getting hurt."
After talking with Jiang Xue for a while and seeing her looking somewhat tired, they finally let her go rest.
Jiang Xue returned to her room not long before Mu Qiancheng also entered the room.
"What did Grandpa say to you?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.
"Nothing much. Sit down first, keep me company for a while, and then I have to hurry back." Mu Qiancheng didn’t tell Jiang Xue what Mr. Mu had told him, but pulled her to sit down.
Jiang Xue knew Mu Qiancheng had left his duties without permission for her sake, and she felt very apologetic, so she obediently sat by his side to listen to him speak.
Mu Qiancheng chatted with Jiang Xue for a while, conveyed some matters to her, and then stood up to leave.
At the thought of leaving, Mu Qiancheng was extremely reluctant. He reached out, hugged Jiang Xue tightly, and didn’t want to let go for a long time.
Jiang Xue let him hold her, feeling the same reluctance in her heart. If possible, she really wanted him to stay for a night before leaving.
But she knew she couldn’t. Mu Qiancheng is a man with his own duties. At present, he has a mission and cannot stay long.
Mu Qiancheng hugged Jiang Xue for quite a while, kissed her forehead, and then reluctantly left.
Jiang Xue followed behind him to see him off.
In the living room, the people saw Mu Qiancheng was leaving and were equally reluctant, but they had no choice and could only watch him leave.
Jiang Xue walked Mu Qiancheng to the outside of the neighborhood, saw him into the car, and watched him disappear from sight before she looked away.
"Woman, if you’re so reluctant, why not go find him?" Jiang Xue was just about to head home when Little Fox’s voice reached her ears.
