Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Coming to Take Advantage of the Situation Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Coming to Take Advantage of the Situation “Great-aunt, I really can’t thank you enough. Yunxuan’s eyes had no competent doctors to deal with them domestically, it was you who introduced us to the doctor in M Country and made all the arrangements, allowing Yunxuan to turn the corner so quickly. Our entire family, whenever we mention you, don’t know how to express our gratitude properly. We will remember great-aunt’s kindness for a lifetime!”

Ever since Jiang Yunxuan’s incident, Wen Xia had always felt a certain responsibility, and their relationship had become closer.

She did indeed say a word or two in asking for the doctor.

But in reality, she wasn’t so involved to the extent that she had done a great deal for them.

Besides, it wasn’t possible for her to arrange things that were taking place so far away in M Country.

A famous doctor like Doctor Orlando was also beyond her reach.

However, Liang Jinlan and Jiang Fanyue always spoke highly of her during phone calls, with heaps of words of gratitude.

There was no need for Wen Xia to forcefully claim she had not done those things.

Now that she was being thanked profusely, she happily accepted it, and her heart was filled with greater satisfaction regarding the mother and daughter, feeling that their approach to interpersonal relations and their attitude of gratitude were worth making connections with.

“Let it be, I haven’t really done much. If you keep thanking me like this, you’ll flatter me too much. Go have a seat,” Wen Xia said.

The ladies of status nearby commented, “Mrs. Jiang, so you have medical connections in M Country as well. I hope you can help us out in the future.”

“Mrs. Jiang is exceptionally capable; it’s only normal for her to have these connections.”

“Yes, I’m really envious of Mrs. Jiang. Her husband is competent and successful, and she herself is an unequaled virtuous wife.”

The Mrs. Jiang they were referring to was Wen Xia, and upon hearing this flattery, her vanity was greatly satisfied.

“Great-aunt, Jiaheng is about to arrive. I’d like to go and greet him,” Jiang Fanyue said.

“Go ahead.” Wen Xia placed great importance on the relationship between Gu Jiaheng and his maternal family; Jiang Fanyue’s words struck a chord with her.

Liang Jinlan accompanied her out, full of confidence about the banquet today.

The two of them went out, looking forward to Gu Jiaheng’s arrival.

Inside a modest car, Jiang Xiruo accompanied Jiang Yaowang.

“Dad, are you ready for our return home this time?” Jiang Xiruo asked softly.

“That plot of land is useless in my hands anyway. Now that the country needs it, it’s only right that I offer it. Seeing Xiaozhe has people to protect him now, I don’t have to worry so much. Overthinking is useless; let’s go,” he replied.

“Alright, let’s first greet our cousins and then head back to the ancestral home,” Jiang Xiruo said.

She and Jiang Yaowang were dressed very plainly, having gotten accustomed to such a lifestyle over the years. The father-daughter duo was satisfied with simplicity and did not feel any discomfort with it.

The two of them walked toward this side together.

Jiang Fanyue and Liang Jinlan had not yet awaited Gu Jiaheng’s arrival when they ran into a few familiar affluent ladies and exchanged greetings.

“Aunt Chen, you look really well!” Jiang Fanyue was adeptly greeting, “Grandma Huang, you look even stronger than last time, truly getting younger.”

“Jinlan, your daughter really has a sweet mouth; her words are sweeter than honey. No wonder everyone says she is blessed. She will surely have even greater fortune in the future!”

“Indeed, who doesn’t know that Fanyue excels in studies and is generous in dealing with matters. Marrying into the Gu Family will be something remarkable,” another added.

Amidst the compliments, Jiang Fanyue modestly cast down her eyes in shyness, just about to reply, when she looked up and saw Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo approaching.

They were dressed a bit better than before, but overall, their clothes were still dull and not presentable.

Jiang Fanyue’s heart thumped wildly. She had been worried about Jiang Zhe showing up, only to find that it was Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo who had come.

What, they also wanted to take advantage of the occasion?

Wasn’t their Jiang Family vastly different from the Jiang Family she belonged to?

The other noblewomen also noticed Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo, and whispered among themselves, “Who are these two?”

“Could they be workers from the Jiang Family?”

“Aren’t all the workers following the butler over there? This is the guest passage for today’s visitors.”

Jiang Fanyue became tense at once, for fear of being implicated and having her past brought up again.

She pursed her lips. Jiang Xiruo had already seen her and greeted her with a smile, “Fanyue, you’re here too?”

Upon hearing this, the noblewomen wondered if these two knew Jiang Fanyue?

And they greeted her quite familiarly too.

Though Jiang Fanyue’s background was not exactly a secret, Lady Chen immediately whispered, “These two, might they be from Jiang Fanyue’s biological family?”

“They probably are. I’ve heard that Jiang Zhe moved back and lives in Wangjia Alley. You all know what kind of place Wangjia Alley is, the oldest and most rundown district in Jincheng.”

“What have they come here for?”

“Could they have seen Jiang Fanyue doing better now and want to sponge off her?”

The murmuring of the noblewomen caused Jiang Fanyue’s face to flush with alternating waves of paleness and redness.

She was the precious young Miss of the Jiang Family, always had been, born to be!

She had no connection whatsoever with the people from Wangjia Alley!

The things she had worked hard to cast aside, the things she did not want others to know about, were laid bare by Jiang Yaowang and Jiang Xiruo, embarrassing her greatly.

Feeling both urgent and angry, why did they come? Could they not bear to see her doing well? Did shaming her give them a sense of accomplishment?

Jiang Fanyue felt so wronged her eyes turned red.

She bit her lip.

Liang Jinlan, upon seeing Jiang Xiruo, knew exactly why they had come, her voice as cold as a winter breeze, “Who are you? Fanyue doesn’t know you.”

Jiang Xiruo was taken aback. Although she had long known Jiang Fanyue had no desire for recognition, she nonetheless had greeted her politely.

Who would have thought that the other party would not even appreciate this basic courtesy.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we do not know these two,” Liang Jinlan immediately said with a stern face and a patronizing tone, “and we have no idea how they know Fanyue. Fanyue is my biological child, who has grown up at home, very innocent and without any complex social relationships. However, being my precious daughter, it’s inevitable that some people would want to get close to her, trying to see if there’s any chance to connect with the Jiang Family. Fortunately, our Fanyue has always been able to see through these things, very shrewd indeed.”

The noblewomen, upon hearing her say this, although sure that their guesses were correct, also understood that Liang Jinlan was protecting Jiang Fanyue.

They could sympathize; one, of course, needs to protect one’s own daughter, and there is no need for useless people to latch on.

Jiang Xiruo, hearing their crafted lies, was so exasperated she nearly laughed.

She knew Jiang Fanyue was not pure of heart, but she had not expected it to this extent.
