When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 62

Jiang Jiang received a call from Old Madam Ji at a little after 5 PM, only half an hour after she had arrived home.

As soon as the call connected, Jiang Jiang heard Old Madam Ji say, “Jiang Jiang, I’ve already heard about what happened yesterday from Xu’an.”

Jiang Jiang’s heart suddenly became a little nervous, “Grandma…”

Before Jiang Jiang could finish a sentence, she heard Old Madam Ji scolding Ji Xu’an on the other end of the phone, her words were so sharp that Jiang Jiang was a little dazed.

Old Madam Ji had always been kind and gentle in front of her, and it was the first time Jiang Jiang had seen her so angry.

“Grandma, actually I…” Jiang Jiang wanted to say that she wasn’t that angry.

She had always shown unwavering affection for Ji Xu’an in front of Old Madam Ji. If she really liked Ji Xu’an, she should be more happy than surprised in the face of Ji Xu’an’s closeness.

Old Madam Ji knew her “intentions,” so in theory, she shouldn’t be so angry, right?

Jiang Jiang instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Old Madam Ji said she was tired, stopped to rest for a while, and also drank a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat, and then said, “Jiang Jiang, all the mistakes in this matter are Xu’an’s fault, you don’t need to save face for her.”

“Even married people can’t force the other party when one of them is unwilling, let alone that your affairs haven’t been settled yet.”

Hearing these words, Old Madam Ji was clearly on her side.

Jiang Jiang’s heart warmed. Although she knew that Grandma was probably saying good things for Ji Xu’an in reverse, Jiang Jiang was still very touched. At least Old Madam Ji was willing to spend time coaxing her to be happy.

“Grandma, don’t worry, I’m not angry with Sister, I know Sister didn’t do it on purpose.”

Old Madam Ji sighed a long sigh, “You child is just too soft-hearted, too honest, and Xu’an is someone with too many thoughts.”

“If you two are really together in the future, wouldn’t you be completely eaten by her?”

Jiang Jiang thought that shouldn’t be the case, but in front of Old Madam Ji, Jiang Jiang still said a good word for Ji Xu’an.

“Grandma, don’t worry, Sister treats me very well and hasn’t bullied me.”

Old Madam Ji also knew very well that Jiang Jiang was probably just saying this on purpose to reassure her. After all, no one knew Ji Xu’an’s character better than her.

Ji Xu’an wouldn’t be so bad as to deliberately make things difficult for Jiang Jiang, but she must have said some harsh words, how could Jiang Jiang not feel anything in her heart?

It’s just that some things are not suitable to be said openly. Although both of them knew this, no one brought it up.

“Xu’an has also told me her thoughts, Jiang Jiang, what do you think?” Old Madam Ji was still a little nervous when she asked this question.

Although she guessed that Jiang Jiang probably wouldn’t refuse, but what if?

Before getting a clear answer from Jiang Jiang, Old Madam Ji couldn’t completely relax.

At this time, there was only Jiang Jiang alone at home, there were no surveillance cameras in the living room, and Jiang Jiang didn’t have to worry about her words being heard by a second person.

Half of her body was bathed in the sunlight, her fingers absentmindedly rubbing Little Bun’s paws, and her voice when replying was soft and gentle, as if carrying endless shyness, but the expression on her face was calm.

“Grandma knows, I’ve always liked Sister. As long as Sister is willing, I have no objections.”

Old Madam Ji breathed a heavy sigh of relief, “Good, good, good.”

She said several “good” words in a row, and her joyful mood was obvious. Jiang Jiang could even imagine what Old Madam Ji’s expression was like on the other end of the phone at this time.

The corners of her lips also unconsciously curved into a small arc.

If she really married Ji Xu’an, Grandma should be the happiest person, right?

In addition to being happy, Old Madam Ji didn’t forget to reveal another secret to Jiang Jiang, “Actually, before you left for B City a few days ago, Xu’an told me that she liked you very much and wanted to be with you.”

Speaking of this, Old Madam Ji thought of her doubts at the time, and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “But Xu’an told me that you don’t like her.”

Ji Xu’an wasn’t a very slow person. She felt that Jiang Jiang didn’t like her, probably because she had never felt Jiang Jiang’s liking for her.

But this was completely contrary to Old Madam Ji’s previous understanding. She thought, how could Jiang Jiang not like Xu’an?

Hearing this, Jiang Jiang was also a little surprised. She hadn’t had such a guess before, but because she didn’t get a response from Ji Xu’an during the last test, Jiang Jiang thought she had guessed wrong again.

So my guess was correct. Ji Xu’an really revealed similar thoughts to Grandma, so why didn’t she respond to me at the time, and even looked very distressed?

Jiang Jiang recalled Ji Xu’an’s slightly frowning appearance at the time, which didn’t seem happy at all.

Old Madam Ji was still waiting for her answer, and Jiang Jiang didn’t have time to think too much. She explained, “Because Sister always told me before that her relationship with me would always only be sisters.”

“I was worried that once she found out that I liked her, Sister might reject me and alienate me without mercy, just like she treated other suitors, so I…”

Her voice gradually lowered, and Old Madam Ji understood. Sure enough, this was still the bitter fruit caused by Ji Xu’an herself.

She comforted Jiang Jiang, “Good child, you’ve been wronged. If Xu’an dares to treat you like this again in the future, you can tell Grandma, and Grandma will take care of you!”

Jiang Jiang nodded in agreement.

Old Madam Ji said again, “Jiang Jiang, Grandma thinks that this is, after all, a matter between you two. Others can only help for a while, but can’t interfere in everything.”

“Furthermore, the right to decide whether to say your feelings or not is only in your own hands.”

“So I didn’t explain this matter clearly to Xu’an. Until now, Xu’an still thinks you don’t like her.”

“You…” Old Madam Ji paused, wanting to ask Jiang Jiang what she thought, but thinking that Jiang Jiang’s personality had always been shy, she couldn’t always let her take the initiative in everything.

Moreover, Jiang Jiang had always listened to her very much. If she said this, it would inevitably have the meaning of guiding Jiang Jiang. After thinking about it again and again, Old Madam Ji finally decided to let Jiang Jiang make her own decision, and she wouldn’t interfere.

When Old Madam Ji made this decision, she didn’t expect at all that Jiang Jiang, like Ji Xu’an, belonged to the kind of person who kept everything in her heart and was not willing to speak easily.

She thought that the two liked each other, and even if some things were not said, they could feel each other’s feelings in their interactions.

But she completely forgot that these two belonged to the type of people who were excellent actors and kept their mouths shut.

In the end, Old Madam Ji was still deceived by the personality that Jiang Jiang showed.

Jiang Jiang was only particularly well-behaved and sensible in front of her, and spoke directly about everything, but she wasn’t completely like this in front of Ji Xu’an.

But at this time, Old Madam Ji didn’t know this. She was already thinking about how to arrange Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an’s engagement banquet.

This was a rare happy event in the family, and it must be held in a grand manner so that everyone would know that their family had a new member.

How to arrange the engagement banquet mainly depended on Ji Xu’an, but of course Jiang Jiang’s opinion was also very important. Old Madam Ji decided to discuss this matter with Ji Xu’an properly later.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jiang had time to think about the words Old Madam Ji had just said.

What exactly was Ji Xu’an thinking?

Jiang Jiang found that she still couldn’t see through Ji Xu’an. Whenever she thought she understood Ji Xu’an well enough, Ji Xu’an would always bring her new confusion and unease.

Thinking about it in the end, Jiang Jiang still couldn’t be completely sure. She thought, perhaps Grandma had tested Ji Xu’an for me, and Ji Xu’an had taken the opportunity to “admit” it in order to reassure Grandma?

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but sigh deeply. In fact, what the truth was didn’t matter, as long as our marriage could be settled smoothly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang reopened her phone, and what came into view was He Xinyao’s Weibo account. The last update was still posted yesterday evening. After that, He Xinyao had never updated again.

This was inconsistent with her usual habit of posting several updates related to Zheng Zhouzhou every day.

Jiang Jiang saw that there were also fans asking about this in the comment area. Looking at those caring words, and thinking of what Ji Xu’an said when she was on the phone with Secretary Zhao, she had a faint premonition in her heart.

Perhaps soon, the things I had been looking forward to would all come true.

Jiang Jiang put down her phone, looked up at the sunlight outside, and a faint sense of confusion and melancholy suddenly rose in her heart.

When she first came to this world, she regarded Zheng Zhouzhou as her biggest enemy, and was very wary of Zheng Zhouzhou. To this end, she even spared no effort to please Ji Xu’an, her backer.

In fact, in the several confrontations with Zheng Zhouzhou later, Jiang Jiang vaguely realized that perhaps Zheng Zhouzhou wasn’t as difficult to deal with as she had imagined.

But some things couldn’t be easily ended just because she wanted to stop them. Moreover, Jiang Jiang was still unclear whether Zheng Zhouzhou had any trump cards left. Perhaps it was because she herself wasn’t strong enough, so she was always looking forward and backward.

Jiang Jiang lowered her head and looked at her palm. She couldn’t help but close her palm, but what she grasped in her palm was only air.

Jiang Jiang closed her eyes. Perhaps only on the day when she didn’t have to rely on anyone at all, and could stand firm in this world on her own, would she truly be able to relax.

So she still had to continue to work hard.

Jiang Jiang cheered up and opened her computer again, and began to seriously conceive the plot of the next chapter.

The novel’s data far surpassed her expectations. Jiang Jiang sensed a real possibility of success in this field.

But she still had to continue to work hard.

Jiang Jiang suppressed her extra thoughts and began to type slowly.

What she had to write in this chapter should be Jiang Xiao and Princess Zhaoning meeting again.

Hmm… Princess Zhaoning’s attitude is very bad.

Jiang Xiao is very angry, but she endured it.

…

Ji Xu’an didn’t manage to get off work on time that night. At a little after seven o’clock, she made a video call to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang answered.

Ji Xu’an saw Ji Heyuan on the other end of the phone at a glance. Her expression immediately faded, and her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

“When did you go over?”

Ji Heyuan didn’t notice anything wrong with her sister at all. She smiled particularly brightly and waved vigorously at Ji Xu’an, “I just got here! I haven’t seen you for two days, did you miss me?”

Ji Xu’an rubbed her brow. She made this call not only to tell Jiang Jiang that she had to work overtime, but also to test whether Jiang Jiang was still angry.

Unfortunately, with Ji Heyuan there, this was clearly impossible.

Ji Heyuan didn’t notice Ji Xu’an’s helplessness. She even thought she was particularly considerate, “It just so happens that you’re coming home late tonight. Xie Jiang Jiang must be scared being alone at home. With me here, she won’t be afraid.”

As she spoke, she deliberately bumped Jiang Jiang’s shoulder, “Xie Jiang Jiang, tell me, am I right?”

Jiang Jiang felt Ji Xu’an’s gaze on her, the atmosphere between them thick with unspoken tension.

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes and didn’t look at Ji Xu’an, but nodded very lightly, “Yes, you’re right.”

Ji Heyuan smiled triumphantly.

Ji Xu’an watched Jiang Jiang’s dejected look, wanting to speak, but the sight of the oblivious Ji Heyuan beside her made her swallow her words.

Never mind, she would talk to Jiang Jiang after she got home.

Secretary Zhao, who had just walked into the office, happened to hear Ji Heyuan’s words. After Ji Xu’an hung up the phone, Secretary Zhao observed that the boss seemed to be in a bad mood, so he comforted her, “I remember that the Second Miss used to dislike Miss Xie very much. I didn’t expect them to get along like real sisters now.”

“President Ji, if you marry Miss Xie, the family relationship will definitely be particularly harmonious.”

Ji Xu’an was also thinking about this. Xiaoyuan really liked Jiang Jiang now. Ji Xu’an could even feel that, compared to herself, Ji Heyuan preferred to cling to Jiang Jiang.

A vague thought flashed through her mind, but she didn’t think much about it.

She was busy until a little after nine o’clock that night. Ji Xu’an finally finished her work and was about to pack up and leave when Secretary Zhao suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

As soon as he walked into the office, he went straight to the point, “President Ji, Zheng Zhouzhou has asked to meet you tomorrow at noon. Will you agree?”

Ji Xu’an was still holding the car keys in her hand. She was anxious to go home, and almost without thinking for long, she agreed to this matter.

“Tell her, yes.”

“But the location will be decided by me.”

Zheng Zhouzhou was more impatient than Ji Xu’an had thought. How many hours had it been since He Xinyao’s incident?

She had already taken the initiative to find me.

Ji Xu’an thought about this as she walked. Zheng Zhouzhou, as a person, belonged to the type who wouldn’t shed tears until she saw the coffin, and was also quite eccentric. Her unusual activeness this time was because she held a bargaining chip in her hand, and was sure that she could get away unscathed.

Was her bargaining chip related to the unusual things about her?!
