Chapter 53: Chapter 053 Shanshui City No.7

Xia Qiao lifted her orchid fingers, "It’s not impossible for sis to forgive you."

"You say it, I’ll listen."

"Take me to Sea River Banquet the day after tomorrow, and I’ll forgive you, how about that?"

Sea River Banquet...

Jiang Tong’s brow twitched violently.

This aunt really knows how to pick places, and she chose the most expensive restaurant in all of Beijing.

Her wallet...

"What? You’re not happy?" Xia Qiao stood with hands on her hips, glaring at her menacingly.

Jiang Tong quickly waved her hands in denial, "No, no, no, why would I be unhappy..."

"Then it’s happily decided."

Happily?

She was not happy at all!

Thinking about her wallet taking a big hit, Jiang Tong felt like crying her eyes out.

...

In the morning, a red glow appeared on the horizon, scattering light across the earth.

Jiang Tong drove her black BMW THX X1 back to Shanshui City.

Today, Xia Qiao was going to the hospital to take care of her dad, while she was going to the cemetery to mourn her mom.

The two were just splitting up, each heading off to do their own thing.

Shanshui City’s layout was very orderly, even the numbered villas were lined up neatly.

By coincidence, Jiang Tong’s villa number 7 and Bao Nan’s villa number 6 were lined up together.

But neither of them knew...

She found her parking spot in front of her door and parked the car inside.

She was just about to head into the villa when a running teddy dog slammed directly into her arms.

Accompanied by Qin Meiru’s shout, "Zai Zai! Slow down! You’re going to hit someone!"

The teddy dog peeked its head out from Jiang Tong’s arms, greeting her with striking intelligence.

"Zai Zai, you’ve become so naughty." Qin Meiru ran up to Jiang Tong, panting and hands on her hips.

Being tackled by a teddy dog left Jiang Tong utterly bewildered.

Can someone tell her what just happened?

Why did a dog suddenly leap into her arms?

"Ahem, ahem, little girl, sorry, this frisky dog must really like you." Qin Meiru awkwardly glanced at her, quickly changing the subject, "Are you the owner of Shanshui City number 7?"

"More or less."

"That’s great, I happen to live in number 6, would you like to come over and hang out?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong was about to decline, but Qin Meiru interrupted her.

"Look, Zai Zai likes you so much, staying in your arms and not wanting to leave, you could just help me take him back."

Looking at Qin Meiru’s hopeful eyes, Jiang Tong hesitated for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement.

There was just that bit of road between the two villas; it wouldn’t delay her much.

"You agreed? That’s great!" Qin Meiru rubbed her hands with joy, leading her toward the villa.

"..."

"Actually, you can come over often to play, I’m not here much."

"But my son is here, you’re about the same age, you should be able to get along."

"Oh, I haven’t asked you, do you have a boyfriend?"

All the way, Qin Meiru’s questions came endlessly.

Jiang Tong responded with an embarrassed yet polite smile and answered all her questions courteously.

The door to villa number 6 was opened, and inside was all European decor.

"Sit, don’t be shy, I’ll pour you some tea." Qin Meiru hurriedly invited her to sit down.

After thanking her, Jiang Tong sat neatly on the sofa, still holding the teddy dog in her arms.

Looking at her serene appearance, Qin Meiru paused with the tea in her hand.

"I think you look a lot like a friend of mine," she said. "Today is her memorial day."
