When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 15

Jiang Jiang was slightly stunned when she heard this sentence. Before she could express anything, Xie Xiao on the other side of the mirror was about to explode.

Listen! Listen!

Was this something a human would say?!

Didn’t she know whether she had given her phone number or not? How could she be embarrassed to blame Jiang Jiang instead!

Xie Xiao gritted her teeth fiercely, mouthing words at Jiang Jiang non-stop.

Quick, scold her!

Jiang Jiang smiled at her silently. She didn’t feel angry, after all, Ji Xu’an’s temper had always been like this.

Perhaps Jiang Jiang had been silent for too long, Ji Xu’an on the other end of the line called out again in confusion.

“Xie Xiao?”

Jiang Jiang hummed. Her tone was cautious, and still as soft and gentle as ever, but listening carefully, it seemed that one could also hear a bit of imperceptible grievance.

” I don’t know what your number is.”

She paused, her voice even lighter, “In the phone you gave me, there’s only Secretary Zhao’s number.”

This time it was Ji Xu’an’s turn to be stunned. Only then did she remember that she had simply given an order at the time, and these things were all handled by Secretary Zhao.

Perhaps because her attitude towards Xie Xiao had been too obviously negative before, Secretary Zhao had noticed her thoughts and, in order not to annoy her, only left his contact information in the phone.

In this way, if Xie Xiao wanted to contact her, she could only choose to go to Secretary Zhao, and Secretary Zhao could take the opportunity to block Xie Xiao, so as not to let Xie Xiao waste her time on some unimportant trivial matters.

It had to be said that Secretary Zhao’s handling of this matter was indeed considerate, but at the time he certainly didn’t expect that one day his behavior would put Ji Xu’an in such an embarrassing situation.

A long silence fell on both ends of the phone.

Ji Xu’an thought, she really couldn’t blame Xie Xiao for this, but on the other hand, she couldn’t help but think that the two had met several times in the past few days, and Xie Xiao had actually been able to hold back and hadn’t asked about this matter.

Was it because she knew that one day I would take the initiative to contact her?

Or was it that Xie Xiao didn’t really care about this matter at all?

Ji Xu’an seemed to have experienced the feeling of being self-indulgent. Thinking that she had warned Xie Xiao several times not to have any ulterior motives, yesterday in the back garden, she had even thought that Xie Xiao was deliberately teasing her.

But what was the result? The other party might not have had any such thoughts at all.

Thinking of this, Ji Xu’an couldn’t help but raise her hand to rub her temples, her lips moved, wanting to say something, but the words came to her lips and she swallowed them again.

In the end, she simply skipped this topic and brought up the main purpose of her call, “I’ve already heard from Uncle Chen about what happened at the hospital today. It was Xiao Yuan who was being ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf.”

“After she gets better, I’ll have her apologize to you in person.”

Jiang Jiang’s emotions were consistently calm from beginning to end, and she always had a faint smile on her face. In Xie Xiao’s view, this was a composure and joy that came from knowing that things were developing exactly as expected.

Jiang Jiang guessed correctly, Ji Xu’an really did take the initiative to apologize to her.

After Ji Xu’an finished speaking, Jiang Jiang was silent for a few seconds, and then slowly opened her mouth and said, “Although she yelled at me in front of so many people, I was a little wronged. But I also know that Xiao Yuan only lost her temper because she wasn’t feeling well, and I can understand her.”

Her tone of voice was soft, with a kind of inexplicable persuasiveness, making it difficult to doubt the truthfulness of these words.

If Xie Xiao said that she wasn’t angry at all, Ji Xu’an might have suspected that she was being insincere, but she told Ji Xu’an about her grievances without any concealment, and Ji Xu’an felt that everything she said was sincere.

Ji Heyuan’s temperament should be taught a good lesson, otherwise she would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

Ji Xu’an was already thinking about how to temper Ji Heyuan’s temperament in the future. As for those accusations against Xie Xiao that Ji Heyuan had made, Ji Xu’an only thought that she was venting her anger.

Ji Heyuan said that her fall was likely related to Xie Xiao, but Ji Xu’an carefully checked the surveillance cameras in the old house and also asked the others who were in the old house at the time. Xie Xiao really didn’t have the time to commit the crime.

Xie Xiao was sleeping in her room at the time, and the place where Ji Heyuan fell was dozens of meters away from Xie Xiao’s room. Xie Xiao couldn’t have tripped Ji Heyuan from a distance, right?

“Don’t take those words that Xiao Yuan said to heart. This matter has nothing to do with you. If she bullies you again in the future…”

Ji Xu’an paused and didn’t continue.

Jiang Jiang knew what she wanted to hear. She bit her lip and tentatively asked with some hesitation, “If I tell you, will you stand up for me?”

Ji Xu’an played with the pen in her hand, the emotion between her eyebrows and eyes was very faint, “You may not know, I always help those who are right, not those who are related to me.”

So, if Jiang Jiang wasn’t lying to her, she would stand up for Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang’s breathing seemed to be a little more rapid. Ji Xu’an lowered her eyes and listened to the breathing of the other person on the other end of the phone, feeling that her originally slightly irritable mood had calmed down.

Jiang Jiang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her tone with an unconcealable joy, “Then I’ll tell you everything in the future. Don’t worry, I won’t bother Grandma with these things.”

This was what Ji Xu’an wanted to hear.

Ji Xu’an said so much, but she just wanted to tell me not to complain to old lady Ji.

Xie Xiao saw it very clearly, those sounds of uneasy, joyful, and excited emotions were all pretended by Jiang Jiang.

In fact, if Xie Xiao hadn’t been silently watching Jiang Jiang, knowing that the expression on Jiang Jiang’s face hadn’t changed from beginning to end, she would probably have been deceived by Jiang Jiang.

After all, Jiang Jiang’s series of reactions looked like nothing more than an eighteen-year-old girl who was a little clever, but overall still very simple.

Even Ji Xu’an was deceived by her.

Of course, this was also because Ji Xu’an didn’t put too much thought into Jiang Jiang.

Ji Xu’an was too confident. She felt that she could always keep Jiang Jiang firmly in the palm of her hand, so she didn’t really care about what Jiang Jiang’s true personality was like.

“Well, let’s leave it at that for now, there’s still work at the company.” Ji Xu’an lazily spun the pen, satisfied with Jiang Jiang’s sense of propriety. “I won’t be returning to the old house recently, contact Housekeeper Chen and Secretary Zhao if you need anything.”

Her voice paused slightly, and then she suddenly added, “This is my personal number.”

“I’ll remember it well,” Jiang Jiang immediately replied obediently.

Next time, she would be able to recognize it at first sight.

Ji Xu’an seemed to hum in agreement, very lightly. Jiang Jiang wasn’t sure if she had misheard, but the next second she heard a beep—Ji Xu’an had hung up the phone.

After confirming that the call had ended, Xie Xiao chuckled twice, “Jiang Jiang, what did Ji Xu’an mean by that last sentence? Did she want you to take the initiative to send her a message?”

Tsk, tsk, tsk, so arrogant, but still completely under my Jiang’s control.

Jiang Jiang looked at the string of numbers on the screen, a faint smile rising to the corners of her lips, “Maybe.”

“Not maybe, definitely! Otherwise, why would she emphasize that it’s her personal number?” Xie Xiao was almost triumphantly putting her hands on her hips. “Ignore her, just make her angry, let her be anxious.”

“Mm,” Jiang Jiang had originally planned to do so.

She wasn’t as optimistic as Xie Xiao. Ji Xu’an saying that sentence might have just been to make up for herself, and didn’t have any special meaning.

But it didn’t matter whether it did or not. It wasn’t up to Jiang Jiang to actively contact her. After all, Ji Xu’an herself had said to contact Secretary Zhao and Housekeeper Chen if she needed anything.

Jiang Jiang was a very obedient person. She would firmly remember every word Ji Xu’an said, and then strictly implement it.

After all, Ji Xu’an liked obedient and sensible people.

Jiang Jiang thought indifferently. She picked up the handkerchief she had just embroidered and admired it in the sunlight.

Xie Xiao was a little worried, “She’s not coming back, when should we give it to her?”

Jiang Jiang’s almond eyes curved, “There will be a chance.”

She gently stroked the magnolia on the handkerchief with her fingertips, “Just consider it… to thank her for being willing to stand up for me? This reason should allow her to accept my gift, right?”

After all, if she told the truth, saying that this was a thank-you gift she had prepared to thank Ji Xu’an for buying her a phone, Ji Xu’an definitely wouldn’t believe it.

Perhaps, Jiang Jiang still had some tentative thoughts in her mind.
