The Long-awaited Mr Han - Chapter 3475

3475 Something Feels Wrong

“Go back to school and study hard. Don’t ask for leave so frequently.”

Xie Jiling was speechless.

She rarely visited home, so she thought her dad would tell her to rest at home for a few days.

Of course, she wouldn’t be tired in B City.

!!
And so, Xie Jiling was sent back to B City by Xie Tongyun.

However, Xie Jiling didn’t expect to receive another request not long after she had gone back to B City.

The request was made through a direct phone call to her cell phone.

At that time, Xie Jiling had just finished the class in the afternoon and was heading back to the dorm with her roommates.

Then, she got a phone call from an unknown caller ID.

“Hello.” Xie Jiling picked up the phone and said.

“Hello. Is this Xie Jiling? Master Xie?” asked the person on the other end of the line. The voice sounded like an old grandma.

“I am,” Xie Jiling said, “May I please know who…”

“If you are Master Xie, then that’s awesome!” Old Mrs. Han immediately said, “I would like to hire you to check my house.”

Xie Jiling immediately increased her focus. “Is there anything wrong with your house?”

“There’s nothing wrong,” Old Mrs. Han said.

Xie Jiling didn’t know what to say.

Then, why was she being asked to check the house?

“Prevention is better than cure!” Old Mrs. Han said, “I just wanted to ask you to check it.”

“Alright.” Xie Jiling agreed. Since her client wanted her to check their house, she would do it.

Then, Old Mrs. Han gave her the address.

Xie Jiling noted it down and asked, “What time is suitable for you?”

“The sooner, the better. It’s even better if you can come today,” Old Mrs. Han said.

Xie Jiling thought about it and responded, “Is it okay if I visit your house today? It will take over an hour for me to get there. It’s currently 3 pm, so I will be there at around 4:30 pm.

Xie Jiling thought about it. If it was just checking the house, an hour should be enough. She wouldn’t delay her client’s dinner as well.

Old Mrs. Han thought that it was perfect.

She could even ask Xie Jiling to stay for dinner.

She quickly nodded and said, “That’s okay! Awesome! Come by quickly!”

“Alright.” Xie Jiling agreed.

And she told Ren Linna and the others…

“Another vengeful spirit?” The eyes of Ren Linna and the other two roommates lit up.

Xie Jiling was dumbfounded.

Had she become a bad influence on them?

“No. The client said that there’s nothing abnormal in the house. She just wanted to take precautions. They asked me to go and check it out,” Xie Jiling said.

“Oh.” Kuang Xiaorou then lost interest.

It was the same for Feng Yaqing as well. Feng Yaqing said, “Bring us along if there’s a vengeful spirit.”

“…” Xie Jiling felt the corner of her mouth twitch as she responded, “Okay.”

And so, on the way back to the dormitory, she went separate ways from her roommates.

Xie Jiling then turned and went out of campus.

She took a few subway trips and walked for around ten minutes before she found the house of the Han Family.

It was much faster to take the subway than to take a cab and be stuck in a traffic jam.

When Xie Jiling arrived at the door, she rang the doorbell.

Butler Wang opened the door. He even came out to the gates to open the door for her.

“Hello. I’m Xie Jiling. I have an appointment to check the house,” Xie Jiling said.

Butler Wang immediately smiled and said, “Please come in. I am the butler here. My surname is Wang.”

“Hello, Butler Wang,” Xie Jiling greeted politely, showing no change in her attitude.

Butler Wang then smiled even more sincerely.

He led Xie Jiling through the courtyard and into the house. Old Mrs. Han was already waiting at the door.

“Aiyo. You must be Master Xie? I didn’t expect you to be this young,” Old Mrs. Han said with a smile, “Young and accomplished! Young and accomplished!”

Xie Jiling was speechless.

Wasn’t she Han Zhuofeng’s grandma?!

Old Mrs. Han had to have forgotten the fact that Xie Jiling had been to Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling’s wedding.

She was even Shi Xiaoya’s bridesmaid.

She was naturally no stranger to Old Mrs. Han.

“Hello. You must be Old Mrs. Han,” Xie Jiling said immediately.

Old Mrs. Han was surprised. “Do you know me?”

Old Mrs. Han couldn’t help but wonder if her cover had been blown.

In the past, when Han Zhuoli and Lu Man had just started dating, Old Mrs. Han dragged Shen Nuo along and visited Lu Man’s filming location. She pretended not to know Lu Man to test her character.

Old Mrs. Han thought that the mission was a success.

And so, she decided to do it again.

But the moment Xie Jiling arrived, her cover was blown!

“I was Shi Xiaoya’s bridesmaid,” Xie Jiling said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Han had forgotten about it.

At that time, she hadn’t bothered to pay any attention to the bridesmaids.

Old Mrs. Han was focused on showing off the twin babies of the Han Family.

“Fate!” Old Mrs. Han immediately held Xie Jiling’s hand with passion. “Isn’t this fate?”

“You are Xiaoya’s bridesmaid. You must be her good friend!” Old Mrs. Han said, “That’s my eldest granddaughter-in-law. Do you know her well?”

“Yes. Actually, I met Sister Lu Man first, and she introduced me to Sister Xiaoya,” Xie Jiling said.

“Aiyo. I didn’t expect such a coincidence to happen. Please come inside and take a seat.” Old Mrs. Han held Xie Jiling’s hand in a friendly manner and guided her to take a seat in the living room.

“I didn’t expect you to know both my granddaughters-in-law! But they are both married, especially Man Man, who probably rarely has the chance to meet with you after giving birth, right?”

“Yes…” Xie Jiling nodded.

Married people had to take care of their families. They were no longer easily available to meet with like when they were single.

“Don’t be too worried about it. I can introduce you to my grandson. He’s around the same age as you. You are both young, and you must have a lot of things in common you can talk about.” Old Mrs. Han wasn’t embarrassed at all. She shamelessly changed Han Zhuofeng’s age.

Xie Jiling didn’t expose her. She wanted to tell Old Mrs. Han that she knew Han Zhuofeng. But then, Old Mrs. Han asked, “How old are you?”

Xie Jiling didn’t know what to say.

Old Mrs. Han didn’t even know her age.

So where did she get the confidence to say that Han Zhuofeng was around the same age as her?

“I’m 19 this year,” Xie Jiling said.

“You are not young anymore. It’s about time you start dating.” Old Mrs. Han said with a grin.

Xie Jiling was speechless.

For some reason, she felt something wrong.

“You must still be in university? Are you studying in B City?” Old Mrs. Han asked again.

“Yes. I am a student at the University of B City,” Xie Jiling said.

“Aiyo. You must be very bright.” Old Mrs. Han praised. “You’re too excellent!”

Then, Old Mrs. Han continued praising Xie Jiling as if they were cabbages on the street. She talked for a long time without stopping

Xie Jiling felt dizzy being bombarded by so many praises. She couldn’t help but think if she really were as excellent as Old Mrs. Han had said.

Was she so excellent she was unparalleled?

“I hope your visit here didn’t clash with your classes,” Old Mrs. Han said.

Old Mrs. Han knew that it wouldn’t clash with her classes. She had timed it perfectly well to make that phone call right when Xie Jiling was done with her classes.

One could say that she had been very considerate.
