Jiang Yining didn’t personally go to the hotel to set up the layout. In this world, as long as one had money, there was almost nothing that couldn’t be done.
She asked K to hire a few people for her.
Then, she gave them orders through text messages.
After they were done, they would send the video to her to confirm the completion of the mission.
Jiang Yining had been directing the entire process remotely.
After confirming that there were no problems, Jiang Yining informed K to transfer the commission to them.
She turned a corner and threw the temporary phone card into the surging river.
No one in this world knew what she had done.
Everything was settled.
Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Yining gave Ye Xiaoxi a call to ask where she was.
“I’m at home,” said Ye Xiaoxi.
“At home at this hour? Aren’t you going to buy something today to prepare to return to the Yuan family?”
“There’s no need. Grandpa has already sent the things over.”
Old Master Yuan valued her. He had sent people to buy many expensive things for her to choose from.
Ye Xiaoxi was content.
After all, no one else in this world had treated her like this except for her grandmother who had given her some kinship when she was young.
Now, in her eyes, Jiang Yining was her most important friend.
Old Master Yuan was her most important relative.
“Then I’ll go to your house to take a look.”
Jiang Yining mainly wanted to tell Ye Xiaoxi not to let it slip if Lu Zhi asked her if she was with her.
Ye Xiaoxi touched the scar on her forehead and hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
“Yes, sure.”
Jiang Yining took a bus to Ye Xiaoxi’s house.
She knocked on the door.
The door opened from the inside, revealing Ye Xiaoxi, who was wearing a hat.
Jiang Yining asked curiously, “Why are you wearing a hat at home? Don’t you feel hot?”
“Grandpa bought me a new hat. I think it looks very good and can’t bear to take it off.” Ye Xiaoxi smiled shyly. Actually, she wanted to hide her scar so that she wouldn’t be discovered.
Otherwise, Yining would definitely be very angry and would go teach Huang Yiyang a lesson.
Ye Xiaoxi invited her in.
When Jiang Yining stepped into the living room, she saw that the room was indeed filled with gifts.
She casually opened a few pieces and admired them.
Every piece was filled with sincerity.
Jiang Yining was quite satisfied with Old Master Yuan’s attitude toward Ye Xiaoxi.
“When you return to the Yuan family, you have to pay attention to your etiquette. After all, you’re from a prestigious family and there are many rules. Also, don’t be curious about other people’s things. Ignorance is the only way to live a happier life.” Jiang Yining passed on her experience to her. “If others want your help, don’t help too much. Who knows if they’re trying to set you up? You just need to cling to Elder Yuan and not meddle in other people’s business, understand?”
“I know. You’re usually so quiet. Why are you like a mother nagging now?”
Ye Xiaoxi tugged at her arm and made her sit on the sofa.
Then, she took a gift box and handed it to her.
“Take a look. Do you like it?”
Jiang Yining opened the box and found a pair of pearl earrings. The pearls were decorated with purple diamonds.
The tag had not been removed, and the price tag was a full seven figures.
Before she could reject her, Ye Xiaoxi smiled and said, “You have to accept it! I’ve specially left this for you. You’ve helped me so much before, but I haven’t repaid you yet. Now that 1 finally have a chance to repay you, if you reject it, you’ll be looking down on me.”
“If I really looked down on you, I wouldn’t have interacted with you.”
Jiang Yining said calmly.
Ye Xiaoxi smiled gently and nodded. “Yining, you’re the only friend I can pour my heart out to in this world. I know you don’t lack these things, but I want to give you the best. Therefore, please accept it.”
Jiang Yining paused for a few seconds and said jokingly, “I didn’t say 1 didn’t want it. Miss Yuan, I really like the gift you gave me. Thank you.”
“Hmph, what Miss Yuan? Are you trying to distance yourself from me?”
Ye Xiaoxi pretended to be angry.
Jiang Yining said, “I’m happy for you. In the future, you don’t have to work hard anymore.”
“Hehe, this is not bad.”
Ye Xiaoxi took out a passbook that had 108K inside and handed it to her. “The password is your birthday. Our debt is written off.”
Jiang Yining took it calmly and put it in her pocket.
“I won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
As she spoke, she blinked her eyes and asked nosily.
“How much did your grandfather give you?”
“It’s just the right amount, one million dollars. He said it was my pocket money.”
Ye Xiaoxi had never seen so much money in her life.
But to the descendants of the Yuan family, this was just a fraction.
The happiness of the rich was unimaginable to the poor.
She used to think that this was fake, but when faced with such a huge sum of money, she believed it.
“Not bad. Please pour me a cup of tea for me, Miss Yuan.” Jiang Yining nodded and said.
Ye Xiaoxi glared at her and went to the kitchen to boil some water. She also grabbed a fruit plate.
The two of them sat and chatted.
Jiang Yining had told her about the matter of lying for her tomorrow.
“Are you up to something bad?” Ye Xiaoxi asked curiously. “Why did you hide it from your husband?”
“Adultery.”
Jiang Yining said calmly.
Ye Xiaoxi was speechless.
“I don’t believe that you’re someone who would cheat.” She had more confidence in Yining’s character than in herself!
Jiang Yining smiled and said, “It’s for your own good that I didn’t let you know. Naturally, it is the same reason to hide it from Lu Zhi.”
“Okay, then you have to protect yourself well.”
Ye Xiaoxi firmly believed that Jiang Yining would not do anything bad.
She was very assured of her, so she didn’t ask much.
The two chatted until evening.
After watching a few episodes of the TV series, Jiang Yining got up and prepared to leave.
Ye Xiaoxi gave her a lot of things. Most importantly, she gave her a pair of pearl earrings.
When Jiang Yining took it, her hand accidentally slipped and one of the gift bags fell to the ground.
Ye Xiaoxi subconsciously bent down to pick it up.
Because she bent down too fast, her hat fell to the ground.
Jiang Yining’s sharp eyes noticed the bruise on her forehead. She grabbed her wrist with one hand and asked, “Who injured you?”
“No one. I just accidentally bumped into something.”
Ye Xiaoxi hurriedly picked up the hat and covered her head with it, avoiding her gaze.
Jiang Yining was a doctor, so how could she not know what kind of wounds were caused by people?
However, Xiaoxi must have her reasons for not telling her.
Jiang Yining smiled slightly and said, “I have some ointment that can help with blood circulation. I didn’t bring it with me today. I’ll send it to you tomorrow night.”
“Yes.”
Ye Xiaoxi was secretly glad that she did not expose herself.
She smiled and sent her off.
Jiang Yining carried a few bags of things and got into a taxi.
Then, she called Xiao Yeyu.
She asked her if she was with Xiaoxi yesterday.
Xiao Yeyu thought that Ye Xiaoxi had told Jiang Yining about what she had done yesterday.
She secretly blamed Ye Xiaoxi.
However, she blamed herself. “Yining, what happened yesterday was my fault. I shouldn’t have introduced Xiaoxi to that kind of person…”
Jiang Yining had only wanted to ask her about Ye Xiaoxi’s activities yesterday.
She didn’t expect Xiao Yeyu to tell her everything.
The more Jiang Yining listened to what had happened, the colder the smile on her face became..
