Chapter 559: Someone Was Jealous
Yan Jinyu glanced at him and nodded as an answer.
She said, “Since you’re going to Linlin’s house as her cla.s.smate, you don’t have to call me Miss Yan. Just call me Schoolmate Yan so that Linlin won’t be in a difficult position.”
Zhao Linlin was very touched when she heard that.
She knew what Jinyu meant. She wasn’t afraid that her family would nag at her. After all, her father would explain it to her mother.
Jinyu was afraid that the neighbors would gossip about her.
Since they were pretending to be cla.s.smates, they had to do a proper job.
Jinyu was reminding Jiang Xianyou.
Father Zhao heard their conversation and did not interrupt. He was smiling.
He was glad that his daughter had made a friend who cared about her.
At his age, he could understand some of the words even if they didn’t say them clearly, including the meaning behind Schoolmate Yan’s words.
Jiang Xianyou was stunned for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry, Student Yan. It was my mistake. I’ll pay attention in the future.”
After saying that, he didn’t seem to have any intention of speaking again. It was as if he was simply confirming that Yan Jinyu was from North City.
Mo Qian did not understand.
Qin Xuan, Chu Xiaohuan, and Zhao Linlin didn’t understand either.
Even Jiang Xianyou’s brother, Yang Jun, didn’t understand.
“No, Brother, why did you suddenly ask Schoolmate Yan if she’s from North City? You can’t be asking casually, right? You’re not the kind of person who asks where she is from the first time you meet her.”
Qin Xuan and the other two were vigilant when they heard that.
Could it be that Jiang Xianyou had taken a fancy to Jinyu?
Please don’t. If Master Nine found out that Jinyu had attracted an admirer after coming out with them, they would be in trouble.
It would be even harder for them to go out with Jinyu in the future.
“I’m just asking.”
After saying that, he nodded politely at Yan Jinyu. “My name is Jiang Xianyou. I’m from the Jiang Family in Water City. I’m Tan s.h.i.+yun and Bo Lang’s junior high school cla.s.smates. I’m also friends with them.”
The Jiang Family was second only to the Bo Family in Water City.
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly. “So you’re from the Jiang Family. Nice to meet you.”
Yan Jinyu didn’t think that Bo Lang and Tan s.h.i.+yun would mention her to Jiang Xianyou, but with Jiang Xianyou’s status, it wasn’t strange to for him to know that Bo Lang and Tan s.h.i.+yun were her high school cla.s.smates and they even had a cooperative relations.h.i.+p.
“Nice to meet you.”
“No, You, don’t tell me that the Bo Lang and Tan s.h.i.+yun you are talking about are…”
Jiang Xianyou glanced at him and Yang Jun immediately understood.
He took a deep breath. Wasn’t that the eldest son of the Bo Family and the cousin of the Tan Family?
“Does Schoolmate Yan know them?” Yang Jun asked.
“We were high school cla.s.smates.”
“I see.” Yang Jun was in the same school as them in junior high, but they were not familiar with each other. They were not in the same league to begin with. It was a coincidence that he was familiar with Jiang Xianyou.
However, he had heard of both of them.
However, he didn’t know who Yan Jinyu was, unlike Jiang Xianyou, who could think of so much when he heard her name and coupled with the fact that they said that Yan Jinyu was from North City and was considered half a citizen of the capital now.
“Then this world is really small. I can meet people with common friends even when I’m so far away.”
“The world is indeed very small.” Chu Xiaohuan couldn’t help but lament.
Tan s.h.i.+yun had eaten with them a few times and was considered familiar with them.
Who would have thought that this unrelated person had a common friend with them?
So they only had a common friend. Mo Qian heaved a sigh of relief, but before she could completely heave a sigh of relief, her heart skipped a beat again.
“Senior Jiang, why do you know that Schoolmate Yan’s your friend’s cla.s.smate when you only hear her name? Did your friend mention Schoolmate Yan to you?”
She had a strange feeling.
Jiang Xianyou didn’t even look at her. “No.”
This made Mo Qian speechless. She wanted to ask again, but she didn’t have the face to.
Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan looked at each other and smiled.
Tsk, they finally understood.
This was a love triangle.
Unfortunately, the Jiang Family in Water City was also considered a big family. The young master of the Jiang Family’s taste would not be so bad.
“So you have a common friend with Schoolmate Jinyu, young man. Then, we’re really fated.” Father Zhao sighed innocently.
“We’re indeed very fated. In that case, I’ll be much more at ease staying at Uncle’s house for the next few days. Otherwise, it’s not appropriate to stay at Uncle’s house as a stranger. Even I feel that I’m a little untrustworthy.”
Jiang Xianyou joked and Yang Jun’s jaw almost dropped.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime series.
“Young man, your words are really interesting. Even if we don’t know each other, so what if you stay in Uncle’s house? Not to mention that you really can’t be a liar, even if you are, Uncle’s family is poor. What’s there for you to cheat?”
“Your daughter…” Jiang Xianyou quickly replied.
Silence filled the air.
Fortunately, Jiang Xianyou was calm and quickly reacted. He smiled and said, “I mean, your daughter is so outstanding. There are still many people who will covet her. Perhaps I’m one of them. Uncle, don’t be humble. You have to be careful.”
Zhao Linlin’s lips twitched in embarra.s.sment.
She felt even more awkward when the three people opposite her looked at her mockingly.
Father Zhao didn’t think too much about it. After all, this young man didn’t know his daughter before today.
Hearing Jiang Xianyou say that, he was very happy. “You know how to talk, young man. I’ve always felt that my daughter is very outstanding and will be targeted by many people. However, if the young man who wants my daughter is someone like you, it’s not impossible.”
“Dad! What are you talking about!”
“I’m joking. Linlin, you’ve been studying outside for a year. Why are you still so shy?”
“Dad!”
“Alright, alright. Dad won’t laugh at you anymore.”
“Young man, Uncle is just joking. Don’t take it to heart.”
“I should be the one saying that. I misspoke just now. Uncle, please don’t mind me.”
“Uncle isn’t someone who can’t joke. It’s fine. The road ahead is a little bad. Hold on tight.”
Indeed, there were a few huge craters on the road in front of them. Even Yan Jinyu’s body swayed. The others held on tightly, but they still jumped up and sat down. It felt “refres.h.i.+ng” when that repeated.
After they pa.s.sed the b.u.mps, Jiang Xianyou whispered to Zhao Linlin, “I’m sorry about earlier. I said something wrong.”
“It’s fine. Just pay attention next time. My mother isn’t as easy to talk to as my father. I can’t explain it if you did that again. My mother might think that I’m lying to them on purpose that we don’t know each other.”
Zhao Linlin wasn’t spouting nonsense. No matter what, they had taken the same bus here. It was too much of a coincidence.
If these two people had not come with Mo Qian and were now sitting in her tricycle, as the party concerned, she would have suspected that she knew them before this and pretended not to know them because she was afraid that her parents would find out.
Even she would think so, let alone her mother.
Jiang Xianyou’s face twitched. Was it that serious?
“I’ll pay attention.”
Mo Qian’s face twisted in jealousy.
Why did Zhao Linlin have to s.n.a.t.c.h her limelight no matter where she went?
Everyone said that Zhao Linlin was outstanding in the same village. Her parents always compared her to Zhao Linlin, saying that she was inferior to Zhao Linlin in every aspect. In school, Zhao Linlin’s results were good, her looks were not bad, and she was very popular. There were many people who liked Zhao Linlin, and no one could see her. Now…
She had already gotten into another city to go to university. Why was Zhao Linlin still trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the person she liked?
Jiang Xianyou had never said a word to her properly. Even though he had also come to her house as a guest this time, he was actually chatting so happily with Zhao Linlin now!
The road was very b.u.mpy and the sound of the tricycle’s engine was very loud. Mo Qian couldn’t hear what they were saying at all. She only saw Jiang Xianyou lowering his head and talking to Zhao Linlin with a gentle gaze. She felt that they were chatting happily.
In fact, they only said two sentences.
Yan Jinyu glanced at Zhao Linlin and Jiang Xianyou before glancing at Mo Qian and retracting her gaze calmly.
She continued to look at the scenery.
The sun was setting in the forest in the mountains.
The scenery was very beautiful. She felt a little regretful that she didn’t bring Yin Jiujin along to see such beautiful scenery.
Yes, she missed Yin Jiujin.
On the first day she left the capital.
