Seeing Jiang peiyun appear, Xia Ning only stopped for a moment, then went downstairs.
When she saw Xia Ning coming down, Gao Wanhua waved at her and said,””Xia Ning, come, your second aunt is here.”
Jiang peiyun immediately turned around and looked at Xia Ning, who was walking towards her. She smiled and said,””Niece-in-law.”
Xia Ning glanced at Jiang peiyun, feeling puzzled. The last time they were at the Qiao family’s ancestral residence, this person was so eager to eat her up. She was so friendly today, but the atmosphere was not right.
“Second aunt!” “Mom!” She called out and sat down beside Gao Wanhua. She was a guest, and she couldn’t embarra.s.s her mother-in-law.
Jiang peiyun looked at Xia Ning and said,””Niece-in-law, you’re getting more and more beautiful.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Ning looked up at Jiang peiyun. Was she complimenting her?
If she was Gao Wanhua’s biological daughter, she would definitely be happy to be praised for her beauty. However, she was his daughter-in-law. Shouldn’t he be praising her for being virtuous? Saying that she was beautiful made it seem like she was behaving inappropriately.
Gao Wanhua held Xia Ning’s hand and looked at Jiang peiyun with a smile.””Yes, of course, our Xia Ning is beautiful. Even though she’s my daughter-in-law, I’ve always doted on her like my own daughter. I even regret not giving birth to a daughter as caring as Xia Ning back then.”
Jiang peiyun had just finished complimenting Xia Ning when she realized that she had said the wrong thing. Fortunately, Gao Wanhua had diverted the topic, but she still felt a little awkward.
“Mom, I’ll go cut some fruit.” Xia Ning said to Gao Wanhua. She really didn’t want to look at Jiang peiyun’s face. Besides, Jiang peiyun kept looking at her, giving her the illusion that she had come to the Qiao family to look for her.
“Alright!” Gao Wanhua nodded.
Looking at Xia Ning’s back, Jiang peiyun smiled and said,””Sister-in-law really has a good wife.”
“Of course, my daughter-in-law is good.” Gao Wanhua said indifferently.
Jiang peiyun was speechless. She smiled awkwardly and said,”Manman will be back from her trip in two days. I’ll ask her to come and visit you some other day. She can also learn from her first sister-in-law.”
“Yes.” Gao Wanhua responded and picked up the teacup on the table to take a sip, looking very nonchalant.
Jiang peiyun looked at Gao Wanhua’s cold att.i.tude and gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. Thinking of the purpose of her visit this time, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Not long after, Xia Ning came out with some fruit. Jiang peiyun thought that she would sit down, but to her surprise, Xia Ning said to her as soon as she put down the fruit,””Second aunt, have a seat. Qiao Yu is still working upstairs. I’ll go get him some fruit.” With that, he left.
Jiang peiyun looked at Gao Wanhua and said with a smile,””Xia Ning is so considerate. Xiao Ling has married a good wife.”
“Yes, she has always been very considerate.” Gao Wanhua nodded.
When they arrived at the door of the study on the third floor, Xia Ning chose to knock on the door before entering so as not to disturb a certain gentleman’s good time.
Qiao ran saw her bringing the fruits up and asked,””You’re awake?”
“Yes.” Xia Ning walked over and placed the fruits in front of him. Seeing him sitting up straight, she couldn’t help but lean closer to him and look at the computer screen, which was a pile of reports and data.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yu asked.
Xia Ning shook her head.”Nothing.” She walked to his side and reached out to unb.u.t.ton his s.h.i.+rt.
Her sudden movement confused Qiao Yu. He held onto her hand and looked up at her,”what’s wrong?”
Xia Ning raised her eyebrows.”For the sake of Mr. Qiao’s health, of course.” She shook off his hand and continued to unb.u.t.ton her s.h.i.+rt, not forgetting to kiss him on the cheek.
