When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 8

After Ji Xu’an went to work that day, Jiang Jiang didn’t idle around either. She first went to Songhe Nursing Home to greet the old lady.

Although there was no rule of greeting here, Jiang Jiang still wanted to do so, firstly because etiquette couldn’t be abandoned, and secondly because she also wanted to see Old Mrs. Ji.

The old lady was indeed very happy to see her. Jiang Jiang went relatively early. Old Mrs. Ji had just finished breakfast and was taking a walk in the back garden with Xiao Chen.

With Jiang Jiang around, Xiao Chen didn’t continue to follow, but waited at a distance, secretly observing this newly minted fiancée of President Ji.

Jiang Jiang had a face that made it difficult for people to be wary of her, and only someone like Ji Xu’an, who was born with a faint sense of emotion, could withstand Jiang Jiang’s gaze attack.

Like Xiao Chen, her initial impression of Jiang Jiang was very good.

Well-behaved and sensible, and sincerely treating Old Mrs. Ji as her own grandmother, such a likable little girl, but with a pitiful background…

Although President Ji was very resistant to this marriage, Xiao Chen always felt that Ji Xu’an would definitely soften later.

President Ji usually worked so hard, and her only relatives were her grandmother and sister, but these two could only accompany her for a while. President Ji must also have times of loneliness, so she needed someone to warm her and fill her loneliness.

Xiao Chen had already imagined a great drama of redemption in her heart.

This must be a warm and sweet little story with no abuse!

President Ji had great power, and her marriage only needed the old lady’s nod, and Old Mrs. Ji liked Jiang Jiang very much, so there was no drama of breaking up the couple at all!

Wasn’t this a proper marriage first, love later?

I am shipping it!

Xiao Chen adhered to the basic qualities of a CP fan. Although her CP was only a couple in name, she had already thought about how many children they should raise after their marriage.

Well, in layman’s terms, the story about Ji Xu’an and Jiang Jiang had just started, and Xiao Chen had already imagined the extra chapters.

At this time, she, who was addicted to shipping CPs, didn’t know that the person who she thought wouldn’t appear, the one who would break up the couple, was already on the way.

——

Ji Heyuan was one step slower than Jiang Jiang. When she rushed back to the old house, Jiang Jiang had already set off for the nursing home.

Housekeeper Chen didn’t expect Ji Heyuan to come back at this time either, “Second Miss, why didn’t you say anything in advance?”

Ji Heyuan felt a moment of guilt when she heard this, because she was planning to catch Xie Xiao off guard, but she couldn’t let housekeeper Chen know about this.

What if he told my sister?

Ji Heyuan avoided answering, her eyes looking around, all her little thoughts written on her face, “Uncle Chen, where’s that person?”

Housekeeper Chen raised his eyebrows, pretending not to know, “Who is Second Miss talking about?”

Ji Heyuan stammered, feeling anxious in her heart, but still had to hold it in on her face, “That…Xie Xiao.”

Anyway, she couldn’t call out the two words “sister-in-law”. Besides, the marriage contract between Xie Xiao and her sister was just a verbal promise, and they hadn’t even held an engagement banquet yet.

So Ji Heyuan had a legitimate reason not to call Xie Xiao sister-in-law.

Housekeeper Chen smiled, “Miss Xiaoxiao went to the nursing home to accompany the old lady.”

Ji Heyuan’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this. She had been out having fun for so long, she should have visited her grandmother as soon as she returned, but she was preoccupied with Xie Xiao’s affairs, so she returned to the old house first.

Xie Xiao had good methods, pretending to be filial, so she would seemed more filial than her, the biological granddaughter.

Ji Heyuan pushed her luggage aside and turned to leave, “I’m going to see Grandma too, it’s been so long, she must miss me!”

Housekeeper Chen didn’t say anything, but turned around and called both old lady Ji and Ji Xu’an.

Ji Xu’an was busy and didn’t take this kind of trivial matter to heart, casually replying, “Xiao Yuan has a sense of propriety and won’t mess around.”

Besides, with Grandma around, who could bully Xie Xiao?

As for old lady Ji, she answered the phone in front of Jiang Jiang, without any intention of avoiding it, so Jiang Jiang learned the news first.

Thinking of the dream she had, Jiang Jiang felt an inexplicably itchy feeling.

She supported old lady Ji’s arm and asked with an innocent face, “Grandma, she seems to be a few days older than me, what should I call her?”

Jiang Jiang’s eyes were full of pure doubt and shyness, no one would think she was doing it on purpose.

Old lady Ji pondered for a moment, “That doesn’t matter, you are Xu’an’s fiancée after all, just follow Xu’an’s lead.”

Jiang Jiang quietly curled up the corners of her lips, feeling a sense of pleasure from finally suppressing the dog prince.

No wonder Xiao Xiao asked her to be Ji Heyuan’s sister-in-law, the saying that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother is indeed correct. With Grandma’s words, at least on the surface, Ji Heyuan would definitely not dare to be disrespectful to her.

“Jiang Jiang, don’t be afraid, just live in the Ji family with peace of mind.” old lady Ji patted the back of Jiang Jiang’s hand lightly, “Tell Grandma if you have any grievances.”

Jiang Jiang met the old lady’s concerned gaze, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and her voice sounded muffled, “I know, thank you, Grandma.”

Whether it was the Empress Dowager or old lady Ji, they both loved and cared for Jiang Jiang, so Jiang Jiang told old lady Ji her real name during their second meeting.

She could not care about anyone else calling her Xie Xiao, but only old lady Ji, Jiang Jiang hoped to hear her real name from the other party’s mouth.

The atmosphere between the grandmother and granddaughter was so warm, making Ji Heyuan, who came later, feel like an outsider.

When she arrived, Jiang Jiang was brewing tea for old lady Ji.

Drinking tea was one of the old lady’s few hobbies, but she was old and didn’t drink much, only once or twice a week.

In the past, this work was done by Xiao Chen, but today Jiang Jiang volunteered, and Xiao Chen was happy to let Jiang Jiang show capabilities, and gave up her seat without saying a word.

Old lady Ji initially just watched with a smile, her eyes only showing indulgence towards the younger generation, but when she found that Jiang Jiang’s tea brewing technique was very skilled, a few more praises appeared on the old lady’s face.

That’s why some people were born more outstanding than others. Jiang Jiang didn’t have many skills to show off, and her posture wasn’t pretentious, but she had a unique gentle temperament, as if her every move was filled with a strong elegant atmosphere.

Just like a carefully cultivated young lady from an ancient wealthy family, every move was in accordance with etiquette, truly engraving the four words “dignified and virtuous” into her bones, leaving no room for criticism.

Not only did old lady Ji think so, but even Xiao Chen felt that Jiang Jiang seemed to have suddenly changed at this moment. No, it should be said that something that Jiang Jiang had hidden was finally revealing the tip of the iceberg.

When Jiang Jiang held the teacup and handed it to old lady Ji, the old lady took it, put it to her lips, and took a light sip, her mouth immediately filled with a clear and fragrant tea aroma.

“Not bad.”

Receiving her praise, Jiang Jiang silently breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body also relaxed a little.

She answered sincerely, “It’s good as long as Grandma likes it.”

Ji Heyuan walked in at this time.

Jiang Jiang’s face was facing the door of the tea room. When she heard the movement, she turned her eyes and met Ji Heyuan’s scrutinizing gaze.

That face, which was at least eighty or ninety percent similar to the Crown Prince in her memory, made Jiang Jiang subconsciously tighten her fingers, but she quickly woke up and realized that there was nothing to be afraid of in the current Ji Heyuan.

After all, this world no longer had a throne for her to inherit.

What’s more, the person in power in the Ji family now was Ji Xu’an, and Ji Heyuan was just a little girl who relied on her sister to support her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang suppressed the defensiveness in her heart and slowly showed a shallow smile to Ji Heyuan.

This slightly perfunctory smile, in Ji Heyuan’s eyes, was nothing but provocation.

“Xiao Yuan is here?” Old lady Ji turned her head to see Ji Heyuan and beckoned to her affectionately.

“You came at the right time, the tea brewed by Jiang Jiang tastes very good, you should try it too.”

Jiang Jiang?

Ji Heyuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was probably calling Xie Xiao.

She felt sour in her heart. Xie Xiao had only been here for two days, and Grandma had already called her by her nickname.

If this went on for a long time, would Grandma still have a place for me in her heart?

Ji Heyuan gritted her teeth and sat down opposite Jiang Jiang with a thud, “Is it really that good? Grandma, could it be that you’re afraid of hurting someone’s self-confidence and deliberately saying something against your will?”

Old lady Ji glared at her, “What are you talking about?”

Ji Heyuan was even more dissatisfied. Old lady Ji and Ji Xu’an both pitied her for not having parents and were very indulgent and loving towards her, thus developing Ji Heyuan’s arrogant and spoiled personality.

She raised her chin at Jiang Jiang, not polite at all, “Hey, pour me a cup too, I want to try how good it is.”

Jiang Jiang wasn’t angry. She slowly poured a cup of tea, held it with her slender jade-white fingers, and handed it to Ji Heyuan.

“Xiao Yuan, have some tea.”

Caught off guard, Ji Heyuan was choked by her “Xiao Yuan”, she covered her chest and coughed a few times, looking at Jiang Jiang angrily.

Unexpectedly, she met Jiang Jiang’s concerned gaze.

“Xiao Yuan, are you okay?”

She said “Xiao Yuan” one after another, and the attitude of an elder that was inadvertently revealed made Ji Heyuan so angry that she was half dead.

Xie Xiao is too much!
