Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Highly Aggressive

"No need for anyone to accompany me. I heard Sister Enci is coming up, so I’ll just find her myself, and she can give me a lift." Jiang Yunxuan said quite liberally.

"Mhm."

Having finished the conversation, Jiang Zhe looked up to find Qin Jingchen standing in front of her.

"It’s time to eat," the man said patiently, having changed into his usual casual home attire. Despite being ill for several days, the shape of his chest and abdominal muscles was still discernible through the thin summer clothes.

It was aggressively prominent.

Even though he appeared utterly mild-mannered.

The outline of his body and the undercurrent in his nature could not be concealed.

"Oh," Jiang Zhe got up, while Fen Ye was tidying up the card table.

The meals for Qin Hai and Qin He were ready.

Qin Hai was used to taking care of Qin Jingchen and was adept at cooking.

The other young masters contributed a few signature dishes, and a full table was amassed.

Jiang Zhe picked up her chopsticks first, and the others followed suit.

She took a bite of the food and put it in her mouth, while everyone looked on silently yet expectantly.

Jiang Zhe was somewhat puzzled: "What are you all doing?"

Everyone then realized, they were all waiting for her feedback on the dishes.

Usually, when Jiang Zhe stayed with Qin Jingchen, they either ate out or Qin Jingchen cooked. This was the first time they were eating food made by them.

Everyone was tacitly waiting for her verdict.

As if her opinion was the most crucial benchmark.

Realizing this, everyone found it amusing and began to eat with their chopsticks in hand.

Jiang Zhe continued to eat, without any particular feedback, but when she got to a dish of boiled fish, she took a few extra bites.

Qin Jingchen served her some, and calmly mentioned, "I cooked that."

"Mhm," Jiang Zhe responded.

From his tone, no one detected a hint of boasting.

Han Dongliang straightened his lapels and said, "I steamed the rice."

As Jiang Zhe picked up a chopstick full of rice, she sensed a subtle hostility at the table and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What, do you guys need me to praise each of you in turn?"

Fen Ye called out to everyone, "Dinner’s great tonight, everybody eat up."

After Jiang Zhe finished eating, the others honestly went about clearing the table and tidying up the kitchen.

Qin Jingchen, on the other hand, was observing that day’s financial news.

Jiang Zhe asked him, "About the investigation into Jiang Yunxuan that I asked you to do, how’s it going?"

"I’ve got some leads. Qin He will give you the detailed information in a bit," Qin Jingchen said, looking up at her, "Didn’t you say there was no rush?"

"Places like the welfare institution are not a long-term solution. Naturally, it’s better if we can find them," Jiang Zhe said lightly.

Qin Jingchen nodded, just when Qin He came over, and he said, "Show Jiang Zhe the information about Jiang Yunxuan."

"Right away, Miss Jiang. I’ll send it to you now," Qin He picked up his phone.

After Jiang Zhe received it, she glanced at it: "Lu Jinjiang? Feng Jiao? They seem to be from a decent family background and have good character. What are you hesitating for?"

"Ever since Lu Jinjiang and Feng Jiao lost Yunxuan, they’ve been down and out and haven’t had any more children. They spend a lot of money every year looking for him. However, recently, there seems to be some friction between the couple. So, I think it’s better to investigate what they’re disagreeing about and then give you all the material together," Qin He reasoned.

Jiang Zhe agreed with this approach.

Although the couple were Jiang Yunxuan’s biological parents, if their marital relationship was unhappy and they had substantial conflicts, then that environment would certainly not be suitable for Jiang Yunxuan.

He had already experienced the negative effects that family could bring, and this time he was determined to be even more cautious.

"Check Lu Jinjiang and Feng Jiao’s public schedule and see if there’s anything, I’ll go take a look."

Jiang Zhe wanted to see what this couple was really like in private.

Some people display an image to the outside world that is vastly different from their true selves.

She was not comfortable with entrusting Jiang Yunxuan to just anyone.

"Over here, Lu Jinjiang and Feng Jiao have a plan to attend an event organized by an aristocratic family. They will stay on a small artificial island off the suburbs of Beijing for a few days," Qin He reported with comprehensive information, immediately showing it to Jiang Zhe.

Qin Jingchen, sitting to the side with his legs crossed, asked, "Should I go too?"

"Don’t go," Jiang Zhe said, then realizing her tone was a bit too firm, began to explain.

A gleam crossed Qin Jingchen’s deep-set eyes as he explained himself, "My presence would be too conspicuous, and this couple knows me. It wouldn’t be beneficial for you to discover their true characters."

Qin He inwardly sighed at Mr. Qin’s ability to gracefully back out and lend a hand, which was becoming increasingly adept.

Jiang Zhe nodded, "Good that you know."

"I know," Qin Jingchen nodded.

It wasn’t about compromise or seeking to please everyone; he truly agreed with Jiang Zhe.

Despite being used to Qin Jingchen’s attitude in front of Jiang Zhe, Qin He couldn’t help but click his tongue inwardly, as he was once again surprised by him.

...

Jiang Yunxuan had reached out to Xia Enci and arrived in Beijing with her.

Accompanying him were Xiaoqi and Fang Ting.

Fang Ting felt a bit embarrassed, "We wanted to come early to get familiar with the school. Sister Xiaozhe, we’re not causing you trouble, are we?"

She and Xiaoqi had already been arranged to enroll in a middle school in Beijing.

However, since they were completely new to middle school, they wanted to come over with Jiang Yunxuan to take a closer look.

They were spending their own saved pocket money, not wanting to cause trouble for anyone.

Jiang Zhe had looked into the background of all the children from the welfare institute.

For those who could find their biological parents, Jiang Zhe had done her best to help them in earlier years.

The rest either had no one left in their families or, even if they did, the children were sent away by their own hands, unable to return.

Jiang Zhe looked deeply at Xiaoqi and Fang Ting and said, "No, you won’t."

Jiang Yunxuan envied them; he was only in the fourth grade, and even next year, he would still be in the fifth grade, with quite some time left before he would go to middle school in Beijing.

Xia Enci patted Fang Ting on the head with a grin, "I told you, Xiaozhe wouldn’t mind. What were you worried about?"

Jiang Yunxuan glanced at his watch, "I still have to attend a competition, we’ll talk later."

"I’ll take you there."

Qin He, who had come with Jiang Zhe, took Jiang Yunxuan’s backpack.

Jiang Yunxuan was already very familiar with him, followed his steps, and waved goodbye to everyone as he left.

Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci returned to their residence and settled Xiaoqi and Fang Ting in.

Xia Enci took out her phone to order takeout and said, "Xiao Meng said she’d be coming up in a few days, she still needs to prepare for school. And Song Xingyu, Beijing is his hometown. He’s been back for a while, with relatives and friends inviting him to meals and get-togethers every day, saying it’s been hectic."

As they spoke, there was a knock on the door.

"Huh, didn’t I just place the order?" Xia Enci ran to the door.

"This is an express delivery from overseas for Miss Jiang Zhe."

"Xiaozhe, it’s for you!" Xia Enci called out.
