The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 384: This Organization Hasn’t Disbanded Yet?

Jiang Nanshu thought carefully about her grudges and grievances with Mrs. Jiang and realized she was still quite petty.

To her, people who didn’t invest emotionally were equivalent to strangers.

Wasn’t she unfamiliar with Mrs. Jiang?

Jiang Nanshu felt that these estrangements wouldn’t fade over time.

She bared a smile, "I won’t go, let her rest in peace, she shouldn’t worry about me. She surely can’t depend on seeing me to keep on living, right?"

Jiang Yunchuan choked up.

That statement... was really quite spot-on.

Jiang Nanshu was unwilling to meet, and he didn’t want to force her.

Their relationship was already tense.

Until now, he tacitly refrained from bringing up that last phone call in her presence because it made him feel guilty and he feared it would sadden Jiang Nanshu.

If Jiang Nanshu knew what he was thinking, she would surely tell him not to overthink it. She simply wanted them to feel guilty about her, not that she particularly loved this family.

And it was impossible for her to be sad.

She had been carefree and happy in her original world for such a long time and hadn’t thought about them once.

Occasionally, she thought of Lu Qingyan.

Because no matter whether she was in his heart or not, his fate would never be bad.

After all, he was the male lead in the story.

How could the author’s beloved let him come to a tragic end?

At most, the author would torture him a bit on his romantic path, add some melodrama, and earn some tears from the readers.

Yet, Lu Qingyan could fall for someone like her, who liked sesame fillings, and she truly admired him for that. Knowing her true feelings, he still bravely forged ahead. Yes, courage was commendable.

She felt a momentary pang for Su Ran because, because of her, the plot had become scattered.

With Su Ran’s capabilities, she could shine bright even without a man, but she still ended up in this situation. Jiang Nanshu didn’t know how to judge her, only to say that everyone must take responsibility for their choices.

Yan Yidan took Jiang Nanshu to the company run by Yang Jiashu, with Xu Xi waiting directly in the lobby, pacing restlessly.

Yang Jiashu, feeling dizzy, massaged his temples, "I’m begging you, ancestor, can you stop pacing back and forth? My eyes hurt."

Xu Xi turned around, her eyes red, and glared at him, "Then why don’t you just go up? I’m waiting for Jiangjiang here, it’s been so long since I last saw her."

Dressed in a proper white-collar attire, her hair was neatly tied back. The once round cheeks had slimmed down, accentuating her features and giving her a more mature look in the outfit she wore.

Yang Jiashu, with glasses on, hadn’t changed much compared to five years before—still delicate and clean-cut, dressed in casual clothing with a hint of youthfulness.

Stunned into silence by Xu Xi’s outburst, he muttered after a moment, "Fine, fine, I’ll wait with you. You can only bully me, really, what a sin."

Xu Xi couldn’t be bothered with him, looking expectantly toward the door.

Finally seeing a familiar figure, she burst out, her sobs loud, "Waaah, my Jiangjiang, I hate you so much."

She hugged Jiang Nanshu tightly, who couldn’t push her away.

Jiang Nanshu was somewhat amused and exasperated, "How much hate is that? You’re going to strangle me."

Xu Xi hurriedly let go, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to, waaah, I’ve really missed you. Are you okay? Not hurting anywhere? Let’s go get a thorough check-up at the hospital again, shall we?"

Xu Xi asked several questions in quick succession, frantic with worry.

Seeing her in tears, Jiang Nanshu raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheek, "Stop crying, I’m fine, I’m doing well."

She raised her hand to gently embrace her, "I’ve missed you too, Xixi."

Xu Xi couldn’t help but bury her face in Jiang Nanshu’s embrace and cry.

And they had occupied the bathroom.

Enraged, she resolved the situation.

Thankfully, Xu Xi listened to her and slapped back, otherwise Jiang Nanshu would have just walked away.

Now this past incident had become an unforgettable memory between them.

Jiang Nanshu smiled with a curve to her lips, "That’s because you became brave, Xixi. After that, no one ever bullied you again. With nothing to lose, we would just fight it out. Who would dare to mess with you then?"

Xu Xi agreed, laughing and crying at the same time, nodding her head, "Exactly, exactly. Life has taught me that being too kind just leads to being bullied. You need to be strong when it’s time to be strong, and gentle when it’s time to be gentle. Back then, I always thought it was better to avoid trouble, just playing the nice guy."

No wonder she liked being with Jiang Nanshu.

She just had that kind of charisma that attracted others.

Yang Jiashu also came out.

He looked at Jiang Nanshu and exclaimed, "Tsk, Nanshu, you’ve lost a lot of weight. Today, your brother Jiashu will treat you to a meal."

He was all smiles, with no awkwardness or stiffness in his words.

It was as if Jiang Nanshu was an old friend he had never parted with, as though they had been close for many, many years.

Jiang Nanshu smiled along, "Okay."

"It’s really rare that five members of the Six Love Organization are here," he continued to say.

Xu Xi made a face, "Pah, pah, pah, from now on, we’re the Five Love. Kick Lu Qingyan out, he’s too selfish, monopolizing Jiangjiang for so many years without any sense of team sharing. We don’t need him in our team."

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "What? It’s been five years, and this organization still hasn’t disbanded?"

Xu Xi looked at Jiang Nanshu with confusion, "We all agreed to date together, it’s supposed to be a lifetime thing. How could we just disband halfway?"
