Chapter 141 Another Lesson
Jiang Wan could see that Song Youning seemed to care a lot about the "cousin" she mentioned, and he confirmed several times that the other party had no intention of coming before he felt relieved.
But despite her curiosity, she didn't specifically ask about her cousin. She just asked softly, "Is there something wrong with your family?"
"It's okay, Yuzu, just go. We can have dinner together next time. There will be many opportunities to meet each other in the future anyway."
Song Youning shook her head, held her arm, and sounded very embarrassed.
"No, Wanwan, my mother said that my great grandfather wanted us to go visit him, so she wanted to ask if you could go with us to his house for dinner. Because my grandfather died early, my mother especially respected him and didn't have the heart to refuse. Maybe she just wanted to see what we thought."
"My great-grandfather's house is also here, very close, so essentially there is no difference, just one more old man."
Afraid that Jiang Wan might misunderstand, she quickly said, "Wan Wan, I definitely don't mean to embarrass you. I'm of course very happy that you are willing to go, but it really doesn't matter whether you go or not."
"I was thinking that we should go out to eat. I know there's a restaurant nearby with great food and a great environment. I'd like to take you there to try it."
Jiang Wan didn't mind much.
To be honest, apart from the fact that she might sometimes be unable to resist their enthusiasm, she doesn't dislike those elders who show kindness to her.
The reason may be related to her growth experience.
"It's okay. Didn't you say that your mother is a great cook and even prepared all the dishes, and she really wanted to see me? It's just an elder. It's okay, let's go."
Song Youning didn't expect that Jiang Wan was not only more beautiful than in the live broadcast, but also more gentle in temperament.
So gentle that it makes people irresistible.
She couldn't help but hold Jiang Wan's slender arm tighter, nodded, and then led Jiang Wan to the residence of her grandfather.
After arriving, Jiang Wan quickly discovered that there was still a difference.
Now this villa is clearly located in the best location in the entire villa area of Renxi No. 1.
It was surrounded by lush forests and bamboos, and was shaded by verdant greenery. It did not look at all like a villa area where powerful businessmen gathered, but more like an outdoor manor. There were also several bodyguards guarding the entrance who were obviously the owners' family.
The further Jiang Wan walked into the villa, the more wary he became of unknown places.
The old man's identity was obviously not ordinary, and she was not sure whether there would be any bad consequences from this trip.
It was almost evening now, and walking through the gardens and pavilions and terraces gave me a sense of classical atmosphere.
Living in a place like this all day long, it's hard not to calm down.
The first person she saw was Song Youning's mother Ji He, who came out after hearing the noise.
Unlike Song Youning, Ji He, as a mother, had brighter eyes and eyebrows. She wore a dark blue long dress and bright-colored earrings that made a strong presence. She looked to be in her early thirties at most.
Jiang Wan remembered that Song Youning mentioned when she came that her mother Ji He was also a fashion designer.
However, when Jiang Wan heard the name, he immediately realized Ji He's identity.
Isn’t Ji He the founder of “Fu Sheng”?
She also understood why Fu Sheng, a brand that was so difficult to borrow, would deliver the dress directly to Yin Xi on the night of the Cool Cat Annual Gala without any reservation and only one day in advance.
Ji He's personality is much more outgoing than Song Youning's. As soon as he saw her, he praised her highly, even making Jiang Wan blush. Then he took her to meet the owner of the villa.
Perhaps he heard the noise, the old man walked down the stairs with his crutches. His eyes, which seemed kind and gentle but were actually sharp and engraved into his bones, attracted Jiang Wan's attention almost at first sight.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and she heard the other party laugh kindly.
"Is this Youning's new friend Wanwan?"
He stopped walking, and there was almost no sign of deliberate scrutiny in his eyes.
"It's rare for a young man like me to visit my home. Don't be shy. When you get older, you like to be around people."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ji He knew that Jiang Wan had passed the old man's eyes in just one encounter.
She raised the corners of her lips, walked to the old man, took his arm, and introduced him to Jiang Wan.
"Wanwan, this is Youning's great-grandfather, you can just call him Grandpa Ji."
She looked at Jiang Wan, who was so generous and decent from beginning to end, and couldn't help showing some appreciation in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Wan Wan, what the old man said is indeed from his heart. If you have time in the future, you must come and play more often. I see that the old man's spirit is different now."
It is said that the more extraordinary a person's status is, the more pleasant their words sound. These words made both parties feel particularly comfortable.
Jiang Wan curved his eyebrows.
"Thank you, Grandpa Ji. It's my honor to be your guest here. I will definitely come to visit you more often with Youzi when I have the chance in the future."
Jiang Wan's words came from the heart.
This old man Ji obviously has an extraordinary family background. Ordinary people have no chance to meet him. Not to mention whether he will be appreciated, it never hurts to at least leave a good impression.
It was just that his family background was too rare, and his surname happened to be Ji, which made her think of him.
However, the old man was obviously no longer in good health and soon returned to his study.
The meal was not ready yet. After chatting with Song Youning who had just come out of the bathroom, Jiang Wan received a phone call that made her silent for a while.
Song Youning waved at her tactfully.
"Wanwan, you answer the phone first. I'll go help my mom."
Watching Song Youning's figure gradually disappearing at the end of the garden, Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and he finally pressed the answer button, walked forward along the curved corridor, and finally leaned sideways on the edge of the column at the exit.
Soon a man's voice came from the other end. It was as deep and sharp as always, but it seemed to have a hint of unknown meaning.
"where?"
Jiang Guan's ears instinctively turned red as she recalled the extremely inappropriate scene of the man holding her waist with one hand and sucking her wildly.
Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her gaze passed through the dense branches and leaves and fell on the fountain pool not far away.
"I'm at a friend's house, getting ready for dinner."
She paused and asked softly, "Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The other end was silent for a while before asking, "Have you thought about it?"
What to think about...
Jiang Wan belatedly remembered what the man said when he carried her into the car last night.
He said, let her think about it carefully.
Of course, she couldn't give any answer at this time, and she denied it almost without hesitation in her trembling voice.
"No."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but complain softly, "How can it be so fast..."
This answer did not seem to surprise the man. Instead, he said calmly, "Then tomorrow."
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then steadied his soft tone: "What if I haven't thought about it by tomorrow?"
"That's another lesson learned."
Jiang Guan's breathing suddenly stopped, and he suddenly felt his legs going weak.
"How could you do this..."
The man's voice was as low and restrained as always.
"How am I?"
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and said, "Then I just haven't thought it through. The more you lecture me, the more confused I am."
Without waiting for the man to answer, she continued, "My friend is calling me for dinner, I have to hang up first. See you the day after tomorrow, sir."
The moment he pressed the hang-up button, Jiang Wan's heart began to beat uncontrollably.
This was the second time she took the initiative to hang up on a man.
Based on my experience when I hung up last night, there shouldn't be any serious consequences?
Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her eyes slightly and prepared to go back to the inner room to find Song Youning.
Who would have thought that when she turned around, she would unexpectedly meet a pair of intriguing gazes that were quietly lingering over her.
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat. He never expected that the guess that had just come to his mind when he met Mr. Ji would be realized so quickly.
The man stood two steps away from her with his stunning appearance that made people unable to take their eyes off him, and said with a frown: "Secretary Jiang is very busy."
"I have to deal with calls from your boss Shao even though I'm at someone else's house."
Jiang Wan didn't understand why Ji Xingjing used the word "deal with" and asked knowingly: "Director Ji, is this... your home?"
Ji Xingjing noticed that the tips of her ears still had a few blush marks on them, narrowed his eyes slightly, took two steps to her side, and glanced down at her face.
"Can't figure it out it's my home?"
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to retort, he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him.
Her face changed slightly when she heard that it was Ji He who was looking for her and was slowly coming towards this direction.
Jiang Wan took a step and was about to leave, but someone gently grabbed her wrist.
She raised her eyes, and the man raised the corners of his eyes slightly, with a look that was neither salty nor cold, as if he saw through her thoroughly.
"Why are you panicking?"
However, Jiang Wan was not panicking. It would have been fine if it was Song Youning who came to see her, but since it was Ji He, she would subconsciously think that less trouble is better.
But the footsteps were getting closer and closer. If I walked now and bumped into them, it would seem like I had done something guilty and was running away.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she raised her hand and grabbed the tie of the man in front of her and pulled it towards her, forcing him to turn sideways and bend towards her in a smooth arc. Both of them were completely hidden behind the pillars.
Walking out of the curved corridor is the exit of the courtyard. Ji He doesn't need to go any further, after all, there are still so many places to wander around in the entire garden.
The other person's footsteps stopped not far behind him, then he turned around and slowly left.
Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment she loosened her slender white fingertips that were restraining Ji Xingjing's tie, she suddenly felt a numbness behind her ears, and heard a man's half-smiley voice.
"Ms. Jiang, are you...having an affair with me?"
