Chapter 1253: Reunion
She looks more mature than before. Although her competence concealed her youth, she still seemed quite naive.
After returning from college, she took on the appearance of a woman, matured a bit, but still not as much as in recent years.
Much more alluring, she’s no longer a little girl but a woman now.
"When did you return?"
After Fang Xiangxue poured tea for the two, he left.
"Got home yesterday. You’ve aged, it’s not good. The most important thing is your health. You’ll surely regret it in the future if you continue like this."
Qian Jun laughed and sighed, "Yeah, I’ve gotten older, some grey hairs, plenty of wrinkles. What’s mainly changed is my mentality."
"Then adjust yourself! You’re overdrawing from your future.
Seriously, nothing is more important than having a good body. By then, even with great abilities, dreams, money, status, if your health is poor, what can you truly enjoy?"
Qian Jun nodded, "I understand all this. It’s just when it comes to dealing with things, it’s different."
"Slowly change yourself. Nothing is impossible. You’ll get used to it.
You’re not a god, even if there are problems you can’t solve, that’s normal. You don’t need to give yourself a hard time."
Qian Jun has indeed changed quite a bit. It’s especially evident in his appearance.
"It’d be better if you were by my side," Qian Jun sighed.
"Hehe, I’m tired too. I just want an ordinary and simple life."
"You’re still so young, how come your mentality is even older than mine?"
"Yeah, my mentality is quite old. I just want stability now.
Alright, it’s getting late, I’ll go meet Yao Shimin, we’ll meet at the restaurant tonight."
"Leaving already?" Qian Jun is reluctant; sometimes it’s not just men’s possessiveness over women, but rather a dependence emotionally.
"I’m having lunch at Wang Ailing’s house at noon. We’ll gather in the evening. I’ll call Yao Shimin and his wife."
"Alright, go ahead, I’m bringing someone along tonight."
"Your sister-in-law?"
"Yes, planning to marry her by the end of the year."
"Congrats, we’ll talk more tonight."
Jiang Xinyu left Qian Jun’s office and headed straight to Yao Shimin’s office.
Pan Xiulan looked up and saw Jiang Xinyu, with a smile at the door, immediately jumped up, "Xinyu, Xinyu, you’re back?"
"Haha, take it easy."
Pan Xiulan ran to Jiang Xinyu and hugged her, "Welcome back."
Inside, Yao Shimin also heard and opened the door to see his secretary hugging the unchanged Jiang Xinyu, despite wearing a coat.
"Welcome back."
"Haha, thank you all, where’s Jingyi?"
"She’s working, you guys chat, I’ll go get her." Pan Xiulan smiled and ran off.
The two sat down, "Looking at you, you seem to have lived well, no changes. I thought I’d see a worn-out Jiang Xinyu, but you’re just like before."
"You’ve got quite an imagination. It’s not as bad as you imagined, life there is quite relaxing. Don’t worry, I’m doing well."
"Seeing you now, I’m not worried anymore. Met with Qian Jun?"
"Yes, just came from him, we’re meeting at the restaurant tonight, be sure to bring both kids."
"Alright, I’ll bring them all. You’ve never seen them before."
"Indeed, it’s been years. How about you and Jingyi?"
"Of course we’re fine. No need to worry about us."
"Xinyu, Xinyu!"
Qiao Jingyi ran in, Jiang Xinyu stood up, the two women embraced again, both quite excited.
"Xinyu, you’re finally back. After knowing the news of your return, I’ve been hoping for this day."
"I’m back, here to see you."
"Alright, you two sit down quickly," Yao Shimin said, looking at the two excited people, feeling a bit helpless.
The two let go, held hands and sat down.
"Xinyu, you look prettier."
"Right? I genuinely think so too. But you aren’t as delicate as before, Yao Shimin here hasn’t done well, turning my sister into this, he’s really not a qualified husband."
"Alright, don’t drag me into it," he felt quite wronged.
"Hehe, giving you some motivation, not managing to take care of your wife, isn’t it your problem?"
Yao Shimin shrugged helplessly, "Whatever you say."
He just sat at the side listening to the three women chat.
Jiang Xinyu knew Song Qingqing wasn’t around, so she didn’t ask.
"Alright, I’m leaving, Secretary Pan, I’ll treat you to a meal in a few days."
"Xinyu, I should be the one treating you."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and waved, "We’ll talk about it later, I’m leaving now."
Everyone knew Xinyu would be very busy upon returning, with so many friends, so no one insisted she stay, especially since it’s still work time.
Jiang Xinyu reached the door, the guard respectfully opened it for her.
Along the way, Jiang Xinyu looked at familiar streets, feeling like she had returned to the past.
She smiled, feeling like this return was meant to end the final ties.
At home, she saw Wei Kaiyun playing with the children, Shi Xian sitting on his dad’s lap, and the other four kids reading books at the side.
"Back?"
"Yes, back. Let’s pack up and visit Aunt Wang’s house."
"Xiao Jiang, I’m not going, heading to Lv Beiguang’s place, Jianbin will follow you guys."
"Alright," Jiang Xinyu didn’t mind, nor did she want Han Xiangjun to feel uncomfortable. But Jianbin was different, as he’s still a child.
Wei Kaiyun raised an eyebrow, "Xinyu, all set with Qian Jun?"
"Yes, we’re having dinner together tonight."
Wei Kaiyun nodded, mischievously thinking how surprised Qian Jun must be upon seeing him. It should be rather anticipated.
He clothed the two little ones properly. Jiang Xinyu saw Wei Kaiyun still sitting on the kang, "Aren’t you coming?"
"Why wouldn’t I?" Wei Kaiyun immediately jumped down to wear his shoes.
As a family, they walked together, Wei Kaiyun holding the two little ones, with the three older ones at Jiang Xinyu’s side.
"Mom, after lunch, we want to go to the club to play, Sister-in-law Li Xue said it’s quite fun." Feifei said.
Jiang Xinyu nodded, "No problem, I’ll bring you over in the afternoon, I should be able to get in. If we’re denied entry, we’ll figure it out."
"Great, I wonder what’s inside? Sister-in-law said there’s a lot we haven’t seen before."
"I don’t know either, we’ll find out by visiting?"
"Dad, do you have time to take us to a movie?"
"You should’ve seen the movies here, but if you want, we can go, and I can take you to the coal mine club in the city."
"Great! Dad, when will you have time?"
"Tomorrow’s not doable, but if your mom’s available the day after, we’ll go as a family."
