3502 What Else Is She Good At?
After Xie Jiling bade farewell, she went on her way.
When they reached the school, Xie Jiling wanted to carry the snacks herself.
However, Xiao Liang did not allow it.
“Old Mrs. Han has instructed me carefully. I have to carry it right to the lobby of your dormitory,” Xiao Liang smiled and said, “I must do it. Stop fighting me for it.”
Having no choice, Xie Jiling had to let Xiao Liang carry it.
Xiao Liang carried the big box of snacks. The box was so big it almost covered his whole face.
He followed Xie Jiling through the school to the female dormitory building.
This trip was extremely ostentatious.
When they reached the school, it was already too late to hide from the people’s eyes.
There were already plenty of students in the school already.
So many gazes gathered on Xie Jiling and Xiao Liang.
There were quite a few people who saw Han Zhuofeng coming to Xie Jiling.
Because of this, there were curious whispers. “Isn’t it Han Zhuofeng who came last time? Why is it different this time?”
“Yeah, this man looks pretty ordinary.”
“He’s probably rich. I saw the car that he parked at the entrance just now. It’s a luxury car. It’s expensive.”
They whispered, so naturally, Xie Jiling and Xiao Liang couldn’t hear them.
However, Xiao Liang’s observation skills were extraordinary.
Even if he could not hear their soft discussions, he could make an accurate guess from the gazes of the people around them.
However, it was unsure if Xie Jiling noticed them or if she just didn’t care about what those people were saying.
Despite that, the way she kept her cool was pretty good.
Xiao Liang carried the box of snacks as he followed Xie Jiling and finally reached the dormitory.
“Sorry for troubling you,” said Xie Jiling.
“It’s fine; it’s not troublesome at all,” Xiao Liang smiled and said, “Do you want me to wait until your dorm mates came down and helped?”
“There’s no need.” Xie Jiling took the box of snacks from Xiao Liang. “See, I can totally carry it.”
Xie Jiling wasn’t weak at all.
This box of snacks was a piece of cake for her.
Xiao Liang did not expect Xie Jiling to be so strong despite her tiny figure.
“I’m going up. Thank you for sending me back.” Xie Jiling smiled as she thanked him.
“You’re too polite,” said Xiao Liang instantly as he took out his business card, “Oh, right, this is my number; whenever you want to return to the family home, contact me anytime.”
Xie Jiling took it. “Okay.”
Then, Xie Jiling carried the snacks upstairs.
Xiao Liang wasn’t in a rush to leave.
He wanted to wait and see if there were any impatient people who would come to ask about the relationship between him and Xie Jiling.
He could use this chance to make it clear and prove them wrong.
As such, Xiao Liang wasn’t in a rush. He turned around and walked slowly.
Surprisingly, nobody came to ask.
Xiao Liang pouted.
These cowards liked to gossip in the dark, but when they were given the chance to ask, they would not say anything.
Since they did not come and ask, Xiao Liang had to think of a solution himself.
He took out his phone and gave Old Mrs. Han a call.
“Old Mrs. Han!” said Xiao Liang loudly.
Old Mrs. Han got scared by him. “Aiyo, Xiao Liang, why are you being so loud all of a sudden? My ears are still pretty good; you don’t need to shout.”
“Old Mrs. Han, I have already sent the third granddaughter-in-law back to the school, and I watched her carry the snacks up!” Xiao Liang continued shouting.
Old Mrs. Han was satisfied with Xiao Liang addressing Xie Jiling as ‘third granddaughter-in-law,’ so she did not care about why he was being so loud.
“Aiyo, she carried the snacks herself?” asked Old Mrs. Han.
“Old Mrs. Han, I didn’t expect her to be so strong. She carried it like nothing. I asked her if I should wait until her dorm mates came down and helped her, but she said no and carried it up herself.”
“The third granddaughter-in-law has a good personality. She’s strong, and she’s not pretentious,” complimented Xiao Liang.
“That’s right!” Old Mrs. Han nodded in agreement. “Tell me more; what else is she good at?”
Xiao Liang was speechless. “…”
He had just interacted with Xie Jiling today while they were on the way from the family home to the school today.
Their first interaction was short.
Old Mrs. Han was putting him in a spot by asking him to list Xie Jiling’s strengths down.
“The third granddaughter-in-law is very polite!” added Xiao Liang, “I gave my business card to her, telling her that she can tell me whenever she wants to return to the family home, and I will come and pick her up.”
“Yup, yup.” Old Mrs. Han nodded. “Continue…”
Xiao Liang didn’t know what to say “…”
Xiao Liang had no choice but to keep talking to Old Mrs. Han. He kept talking until he reached the school gate, where there weren’t so many people around.
Then, Xiao Liang returned to his normal volume of voice. “Old Mrs. Han, I was talking so loud so that other people would hear me.”
“Hmmm? Why?” asked Old Mrs. Han. She immediately felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Liang told her what he had seen in school.
“Although I didn’t hear what they said, I felt that there was something wrong with their gaze. Even after I sent the third granddaughter-in-law back and walked out, the gazes did not stop.”
“However, they had the audacity to gossip without the courage to ask me straight away, so I talked louder to let them know,” said Xiao Liang.
“Haih! Kids nowadays. Why are there so many of them with such bad thoughts?” Old Mrs. Han was displeased, “If they were like Jiling, how nice it would be to live in such a world?.”
Immediately afterward, Old Mrs. Han added, “You did the right thing. Luckily, you reacted fast.”
***
Xie Jiling carried the snacks into the dormitory.
Ren Linna and the others were shocked to see her carrying such a huge box.
They immediately walked forward to help her.
After putting the box of snacks on the table, Kuang Xiaorou said in a surprised tone, “Why did you bring so many things back?”
“They’re all snacks. The Grandma of the Han Family asked me to bring it back for us to eat together,” said Xie Jiling.
“My God, there’s so much.” Feng Yaqing looked up and down at Xie Jiling.
Xie Jiling shrunk away. “What are you looking at?”
“You finished your work in Han Family’s house, ate there, and even stayed there,” said Feng Yaqing slowly, “Then you came back today with such a huge box.”
“Why do I feel like you went back home?” said Feng Yaqing.
“That’s right!” Ren Linna also added.
“This is like us when we go back home every time. My mom would pack me all kinds of delicious food for me to bring back to share with you guys,” said Ren Linna, “The Han Family… is treating you like their own?”
Kuang Xiaorou’s eyes glowed. “You used this chance given by work to meet the parents?”
Feng Yaqing immediately asked, “How is it? What do the Han Family’s elders think of you?”
Xie Jiling was speechless.
“Wait, you guys didn’t forget what Jiling asked us yesterday, right?” Ren Linna’s shock died down as her memories came back to her.
Upon being reminded, Feng Yaqing and Kuang Xiaorou also recalled it.
As such, they stared straight at Xie Jiling.
