Chapter 482: Encounter with Ouyang (2)
The top of this mountain is rich in Spiritual Power, much faster than her cultivation speed below. Jiang Xue sat on the large stone slab, sitting for an entire night. It wasn’t until daylight broke and the sun came out that she stopped.
A night’s cultivation, even though she hadn’t slept, she didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy. On the contrary, her spirit seemed very full, and she exuded a compelling atmosphere.
Time to call it a day!
After Jiang Xue stopped cultivating, she meditated for a while before descending the mountain, holding Little Reunion as she exited the space. Jiang Xue placed Little Reunion on the bed, letting him sleep. After washing up herself, she left the room and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
When she finished cooking the porridge and reheated the buns she had made earlier, she heard some movements outside. Going out, she saw that Grandma Shangguan had gotten up.
Seeing Grandma Shangguan up, Jiang Xue smiled and greeted her, then handed her the prepared wash-up tools before returning to the kitchen again.
Jiang Xue feared that the buns she prepared wouldn’t be enough, so she fried a few more eggs and cooked some soy milk before stopping.
After finishing breakfast, Shangguan Wenbin got up as well. Jiang Xue went out to call her parents and in-laws to come over for breakfast.
In no time, the whole family was gathered, only Little Reunion was missing. Initially, Grandma Shangguan was going to bring Little Reunion out to join for breakfast, but upon hearing that he was still asleep, she stopped.
After breakfast, Shangguan Wenbin went to class, and Jiang Xue accompanied Grandma Shangguan to go sightseeing. As for Little Reunion, he could only be temporarily left to a few of the elders.
It was Grandma Shangguan’s first time in Xu City, so Jiang Xue planned to take her to a few scenic spots for a tour.
The first stop was naturally Yunlong Lake. At the start of spring, the scenery of Yunlong Lake was quite pleasant, with birds flying over the lake, and the vegetation lush and full of vitality.
During the lake tour, Jiang Xue encountered Ouyang Yi again. Seeing the man who once confessed to her, Jiang Xue’s face darkened a bit.
Out of consideration that Grandma Shangguan was present, she did not lose her temper. Instead, she pretended not to recognize him, hoping he would take the hint and leave.
But Ouyang Yi seemed to not understand Jiang Xue’s intentions at all. Not only did he not leave, but he also began to ingratiate himself with Grandma Shangguan.
Ouyang Yi originally looked quite decent, and with a good education, he appeared cultured and refined, easily gaining people’s favor.
In addition, he was very articulate and being a local of Xu City, he knew Yunlong Lake very well. His explanations were better than those of a tour guide.
Grandma Shangguan quickly struck up a conversation with him, while Jiang Xue on the side couldn’t get much of a word in. After a few exchanges, Ouyang Yi had successfully won over Grandma Shangguan and joined their outing.
Jiang Xue wanted to send him away, but out of respect for Grandma Shangguan, she could only endure it. Seeing Jiang Xue’s aggrieved expression, Ouyang Yi inexplicably felt quite pleased.
He felt as if he finally did something right, letting out a breath of frustration.
After all, Grandma Shangguan was old, and after a short while of touring, she became tired. Coincidentally, there was a hotel by the lake, so Ouyang Yi suggested going to the hotel to rest and have lunch.
Although it was only eleven o’clock now, a bit early for lunch, Grandma Shangguan agreed to go to the hotel to take a rest.
Jiang Xue had no choice but to accompany Grandma Shangguan there.
As soon as they entered the hotel, they were greeted.
"President Ouyang, what brings you here?" The hotel manager greeted Ouyang Yi with a smile. In Xu City, there were few who didn’t know Ouyang Yi.
