Looking at the perfunctory “Happy New Year”, Jiang Chun quickly typed out the content on WeChat. Before she could finish, Shen Jun sent her a second WeChat message.
Shen Jun: How did you know that my parents came to Hai City?
Jiang Chun was stunned. This was not a particularly big secret. Anyone with ulterior motives would probably be able to find out.
She only discovered it after overhearing the phonecall conversation between Jiang Guo and Jiang Wei. She didn’t understand what was wrong, but she vaguely felt that something was amiss.
Jiang Chun: Since your parents came to Hai City, 1 wanted to see them. We haven’t seen each other for so many years. I wondered if they still recognize me. Do you still remember? When we were rescued, your mother even praised me for being like a doll and gave me delicious dragon whisker crisps! 1 bought many gifts yesterday, but your uncle didn’t accept them. Are you at home today? Is it convenient for me to visit you?
After sending the message, Jiang Chun started preparing to go out. Regardless of whether Shen Jun agreed or not, she had to go.
Shen Jun: I’ll accompany Wen Nian. There’s no one at home. You don’t have to come.
Although she was mentally prepared, Jiang Chun was still a little hurt by Shen Jun’s cold rejection.
She took a deep breath and deleted the WeChat message that Shen Jun rejected. At most, she would just say that she didn’t receive the message. She had to see Shen Jun’s parents!
Just as she was about to go out, Grandma Jiang stopped her.
“Jiang Chun, where are you going? There are guests at home on the first day of the Lunar New Year. You should meet them too.”
Hearing his grandma’s voice, Jiang Chun hurriedly said, “Shen Jun’s parents are in Hai City. I have to meet them.”
However, the old lady was no longer as gentle as before. She frowned and said, “Jiang Chun, help me as I walk back to my room.”
“But grandma, Shen Jun is at home now. In a while…” Seeing her grandma’s cold gaze, Jiang Chun shut her mouth very wisely.
When the two of them returned to their room, the old lady asked, “How did you know that Shen Jun’s parents came to Hai City?”
Unexpectedly, it was the same question again. Only then did Jiang Chun tell her about hearing Jiang Guo’s phonecall conversation that day.
“Does Shen Jun know about this? Does he know that our family knows that his parents came to Hai City?” The old lady’s voice was flat, but Jiang Chun could tell that she was angry.
Jiang Chun shook her head subconsciously. Seeing the old lady’s scrutinizing gaze, she quickly thought of an excuse and quickly explained, “Something happened to Wen Nian’s family. 1 thought that Shen Jun must be with her, so…”
She didn’t continue, but it sounded like she had just contacted Shen Jun today and was going to visit him.
Hearing her say this, the old lady was relieved. “That’s good. Remember, no one in the Jiang family knows that the Shen family came. No one investigated the Shen family’s whereabouts.”
“What should I say when I visit them? 1 need to know the reason why the Shen family is in Hai City, right?” Jiang Chun asked.
Shen Jun had also asked her this question just now. She had to have a suitable excuse. She also knew that these big families hated the surveillance of others the most, not to mention that her grandmother had also instructed her not to say that the Jiang family knew about this.
“The department manager of your uncle’s company flew back on the same flight as Shen Jun and the others.” The old lady gave her a meaningful look. “Talk about the kindness you had when you were young and your good relationship with Shen Jun now. If you don’t mention some things, Shen Jun probably won’t say them either.”
Hearing her grandmother’s words, Jiang Chun felt a little awkward. Last time, she had used the old lady’s name to deliver the medicine, and so many things had happened online. It was indeed not glorious. Moreover, because of this matter, Jiang Wei had already scolded her fiercely. She could not make any more mistakes.
She only whispered, “I understand, Grandma.”
Seeing the old lady nod, she composed herself and asked the driver to send her to the district where Zhao Wu’s villa was located.
Unexpectedly, the moment she arrived, she met Shen Jun, who was about to go out.
Although the two of them were in the same school, it had been a long time since Jiang Chun had been so close to Shen Jun. She suddenly felt a little nervous.
She saw that Shen Jun was wearing a black woolen coat and a white scarf today. Although it was just a simple combination, it exuded an understated beauty.
She hurried forward and said excitedly, “Shen Jun, Happy New Year! Fortunately, I came in time. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have caught you!”
Shen Jun looked at Jiang Chun, who was dressed in pink, in front of him and thought of Wen Nian in black. He frowned slightly. “Didn’t 1 tell you not to come?”
“Did you say that?” Jiang Chun took out her phone with a puzzled expression and waved it at Shen Jun.. “Was your message not sent? I didn’t receive it!”
