82: Is it Xia Anqian?

As soon as Jiang Nan entered the house, he heard Mo Jinnan say something. "Third Brother-in-law, what engagement are you talking about? My third sister agreed to get engaged?"

Hearing the voice, Mo Jinnan looked toward the door at Jiang Nan and his girlfriend, Xia Anqian.

This was the first time Jiang Nan had brought someone home.

"Where are my sisters? And Mom and Dad?"

Mo Jinnan coughed. "Ahem~, your second sister and Xie Huaian went out and haven't returned yet. Yan Yan is still resting. As for your eldest sister, I don't know. Your aunt and uncle said they wouldn't be back until tonight."

"I see!" Hearing Mo Jinnan's words, Jiang Nan looked at his girlfriend. "Qianqian, why don't you take a rest first?"

"Okay." Xia Anqian, wearing a white dress, sat on the sofa somewhat stiffly.

She knew Jiang Nan's family wasn't short on money, but she hadn't expected them to be *this* wealthy.

The cars they drove were rolls-royces, Ferraris... and the like.

And then there was this Bailin Garden Island—this was the largest manor district!

Jiang Yan had already freshened up and come downstairs in a change of clothes.

"Jinnan, what are we having for lunch today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed someone else sitting on the sofa.

Although the person was sitting quite a distance from Jinnan, she asked, "Who are you?"

Looking at the person before her and remembering that Jiang Nan's third sister was home, Xia Anqian said, "Third Sister, hello. I am Xia Anqian."

Jiang Yan heard this and said, "So it's you—the person my brother likes."

She looked like a quiet person; no wonder her brother liked her.

But why were her eyes constantly darting around?

"Have a seat. I didn't know you were coming over today."

"It's fine, Sister. I'm the one intruding."

"Third Sister, you're down. Where's Eldest Sister?"

"Eldest Sister... is still resting."

"I see. Third Sister, are we eating out today or at home?"

"We're eating out. Mu Nuan and Mu Jin took leave and went back, so they're not here. There's no food to eat."

Jiang Nan heard this and said, "We'll go out to eat."

"Where to?" Mo Jinnan asked, looking at Jiang Yan.

"I want to eat teppanyaki."

"Alright, I know a place in the suburbs."

"Let's go there, then."

Jiang Nan brought some fruit over to Xia Anqian. "Qianqian, let's go out to eat together. Third Sister is very easy to get along with."

"Mhm."

...Luxurious Teppanyaki.

When Jiang Yan and the others arrived, the interior decor certainly lived up to its name!

"Hello, I'd like an order of seafood teppanyaki."

"Certainly."

After finishing lunch, they spent the afternoon at the amusement park... Back at Bailin Garden Island,

By the time Jiang Li woke up, it was already evening.

"Qi Qi, what time is it?"

Fu Xiangqi held his wife and, hearing her, asked LQ.

It was already six o'clock.

"Lili, it's six. Do you want to get up?"

"Yes. Where are Yan Yan and the others?"

LQ: "Reporting to Master, the Third Young Lady, the Third Son-in-law, the Fourth Young Master, and his girlfriend have gone out for a meal and have not yet returned."

"Okay, I understand, LQ."

After the two of them finished washing up, they went out to eat.

In a hot pot restaurant, they bumped into an acquaintance.

"Lili, it really is you!"

"Momo? What's this?"

"Lili, Shuyang and I got married a long time ago. This is our first child!"

Jiang Li felt that time truly flew.

"Momo, why didn't you send me an invitation back then?"

"You were very famous at the time. Our family couldn't even reach you, so we had no chance to send an invitation. And WeChat..."

Although Jiang Li heard her excuses, she felt that her relationship with Yu Mo was no longer that deep.

In fact, there hadn't been much of a foundation to begin with.

She had only hung out with them back then because of a slight lingering attachment after graduating from university!

"By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my husband, Fu Xiangqi."

Li Shuyang saw him and said, "Hello, I am Li Shuyang."

Fu Xiangqi did not shake hands. "Hello."

Li Shuyang felt quite awkward and withdrew his hand.

"Lili, we have things to do, so we'll be going now."

"Okay."

Jiang Li watched their departing figures. "Qi Qi, do you think time can really make one forget everything?"

"Perhaps! Weren't you hungry? Let's go eat!"

After the two of them went inside, they didn't see Yu Mo turn around.

Yu Mo looked at Jiang Li, not understanding where her hostility toward Jiang Li came from.

Perhaps it was because while she was desperately trying to enter top-tier society, Jiang Li had already become a top-tier figure herself.

And back then, Jiang Li was clearly just a poor university student.

Li Shuyang said, "Momo, actually, there's no need for us to compare ourselves with others."

Yu Mo said, "Shuyang, do you know? To enter top-tier society, I desperately tried to curry favor, but in the end, not a single person looked up to me. I don't know how I became like this either. I can't go back to how things were with Lili."

Li Shuyang said, "Momo, if you don't want to be here, we can move to another city."

Their two families only managed small companies, which only guaranteed an annual profit of one or two hundred million.

But compared to those companies worth hundreds of billions, they were nothing at all.

It was just that for the sake of their child, Momo had... This wasn't his original intention.

"Shuyang, don't overwork yourself either."

"Momo, let's go back!"

"Okay."

...Inside the hot pot private room,

Fu Xiangqi was attending to Jiang Li while she ate.

Jiang Li looked at the messages on her phone and realized she didn't know when she had stopped being able to see Yu Mo's social updates.

Although she could still see Li Yanchu's and Xia Huiyin's, they were mostly about their own families.

There were also videos and photos from their travels.

Perhaps this was just a matter of everyone making different choices.

Jiang Li also came to terms with it; she shouldn't try to force her own views on others.

"Qi Qi, I want to eat shrimp paste."

"Okay."

The two of them enjoyed their meal very much.

When they got home, they happened to run into Jiang Yan and the others returning.

"Eldest Sister, did you guys go out for hot pot?"

"Yes, what about you?"

"We had teppanyaki for lunch, went to the amusement park in the afternoon, and had roasted meat for dinner."

"You've been quite active this afternoon."

"By the way, Eldest Sister, this is Xiao Nan's girlfriend, Xia Anqian."

Looking at Xia Anqian, Jiang Li felt something wasn't quite right.

"Hello, I am Xiao Nan's sister, Jiang Li."

"Sister, hello. I am Xia Anqian."

Seeing this, Jiang Nan stepped forward. "Sister, Qianqian's family has gone on a trip, so she'll be staying at our house for a few days."

"Alright, have the servants arrange a guest room for her to stay in for now."

Hearing this, joy flickered in Xia Anqian's eyes. "Thank you, Sister."

Ten o'clock at night, in Jiang Li and Fu Xiangqi's bedroom.

"Qi Qi, is this Xia Anqian the person you found last time?"

Fu Xiangqi was holding Jiang Li while looking at a tablet, which showed his stocks.

Hearing Jiang Li's question, he asked, "Why do you say that?"

"I just feel like something's wrong. I feel like she's not the same person as in the video from last time. This Xia Anqian feels very fake to me; there's calculation in her eyes. And didn't you notice? Downstairs in the living room, she was intentionally trying to curry favor with me!"
