Chapter 462 Died from Jade Syndrome
“Not really,” Jiang Die said softly, standing by the sink. “It was a company dinner. I didn’t want to come, but I was worried about not fitting in.”

Hearing that it was a company dinner, Jiang Yuan was relieved. "Did President Fu go too?"

"Also there."

"Okay, have you been drinking? Do you need me to pick you up?"

"I didn't drink. I'll drive home myself in a bit."

"Okay, I'll take Zhanzhan and Momo for a walk."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Die scratched her hair in frustration.

She genuinely disliked this atmosphere.

"Sigh..." Jiang Die sighed, looked up at the mirror, and resignedly used her fingers to tidy her hair.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the restroom, I saw a tall figure standing in the hallway.

She paused slightly, took a deep breath, and walked over calmly, politely greeting the man as she passed, "President Fu."

Jiang Die was about to leave after calling out when the man suddenly spoke up, "Assistant Jiang."

Jiang Die frowned subconsciously. "What are your instructions, Mr. Fu?"

Fu Jinxing said slowly and deliberately, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave first."

"What?" Jiang Die looked at him in surprise.

The man repeated, "If you don't like this kind of occasion, you can go back first."

Jiang Die asked tentatively, "Is it really okay?"

“Of course.” Fu Jinxing nodded slightly and walked towards the restroom.

Jiang Die glanced back at his retreating figure, then cheerfully returned to the private room, picked up her bag, and said to everyone, "Enjoy your meal, everyone. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"Jiang Die, President Fu hasn't left yet, how could you..." The manager tried to stop her, but Qiao Ze stopped him.

“Manager Xu, this is Assistant Jiang’s prerogative. She can leave whenever she wants.” Qiao Ze looked at Jiang Die and smiled slightly. “Assistant Jiang, have a nice weekend.”

"Have a nice weekend." Jiang Die nodded gratefully to him.

Not long after she left, Fu Jinxing returned to the private room. He looked around, but the slender figure was no longer there.

He spoke in a cold voice: "Qiao Ze."

Qiao Ze immediately stood up. "President Fu."

"I'm leaving." Fu Jinxing uttered these two words and turned to leave.

"Have a great weekend, everyone, and have some fun," Qiao Ze greeted the group and quickly followed.

Jiang Yuan took Zhan Zhan and Mo Mo for a walk and returned home, just as Jiang Die's car drove in.

"Mom is back!"

"mom!"

Jiang Die got out of the car and ran to them, saying, "I'm back."

"Sister, how did you get here so fast?" Jiang Yuan was a little surprised; only half an hour had passed since their conversation.

"I came back early." With the two children around, Jiang Die didn't explain much.

"That's great," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "Are you hungry?"

Although Jiang Die had a company dinner tonight, she probably wouldn't have had enough to eat in that kind of setting.

"I'm actually a little hungry." Jiang Die rubbed her stomach. "I'll cook a bowl of noodles after I take a shower."

Jiang Yuan: "Sis, go take a shower first, I'll cook you noodles."

"No need, I can cook it myself."

"What's wrong? Are you afraid to eat the noodles I cook? Are you worried I'll make a terrible dish?"

The group walked into the house while talking.

"Xiaodie's back!" Deng Rui said with a smile. "You must have had a hard night."

"It's alright, not too strenuous." Jiang Die just felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Yuan stared at her, "Sister, I'll cook noodles, and you take a shower?" Jiang Die couldn't do anything about it, and since she was also a germaphobe, she nodded, "Okay, then I'll go take a shower."

Deng Rui felt incredibly gratified watching her two daughters interact.

While I feel gratified, a trace of regret inevitably flashes through my heart.

As for this regret, it can only remain a secret.

"Mom, do you want noodles?" Jiang Yuan walked a few steps towards the kitchen, then turned back to ask.

"Sure," Deng Rui nodded. "Cook some for me too."

Although we had just finished eating, it was still a token of my daughter's affection.

Jiang Yuan cooked braised beef noodles, and even she thought it smelled delicious.

Zhan Zhan and Mo Mo were drawn over by the fragrance.

"It smells so good! Auntie, what are you cooking? It smells amazing!"

"Auntie, Momo wants to eat noodles too."

Jiang Yuan was surprised that the two little ones were so supportive, and she instantly smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared. "Alright, alright, Auntie will serve you some."

After Jiang Die finished showering, the others, who had already eaten, sat down at the dining table and finished the braised beef noodles cooked by Jiang Yuan.

After finishing their noodles, Jiang Dashan returned home, and the whole family sat neatly on the sofa to watch TV, enjoying their cozy evening together.

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on a single sofa, covered in furry friends.

Fu Xiaoxiao texted her asking what she was doing, so she recorded a video and sent it to her: [Being sucked.]

Fu Xiaoxiao replied with a voice message, and as soon as you opened it, you could hear her laughing loudly, "Hahahaha, other people are petting cats, but you're the one being petted!"

Jiang Yuan also found it funny and asked her, "So what are you doing?"

Fu Xiaoxiao posted a picture of Jinjin and replied, "I'm sucking on it, hahaha."

Before Jiang Yuan could reply, she sent another voice message.

"Yuan Yuan, I'm going to take a shower first, I'll talk to you later~~~"

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, "Okay, then I'll go take a shower too."

As she removed the furry creatures from her body one by one and got up to go upstairs, she heard the Brazilian tortoise complaining.

"Sigh, if no humans love turtles, they'll all get jade disease and die sooner or later..."

Jade syndrome?
Jiang Yuan walked up to the terrarium and asked curiously, "Turtle, what is this 'Jade Disease' you mentioned?"

"YuYu syndrome is a disease!" the Brazilian tortoise said, leaning closer to the glass. "YuYu syndrome is very serious, didn't you know?"

"I don't know," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "I only know about depression. This is the first time I've heard of Yu Yu syndrome."

After listening to her words, the Brazilian tortoise remained silent for a long time before saying, "It might be depression."

"Is the Yu Yu syndrome you're referring to depression?"

"Correct."

"So you were just saying you'll die of depression sooner or later?"

“Yes,” said the Brazilian tortoise, “because nobody cares about tortoises, nobody!”

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Doesn't my mom feed you every day? Zhanzhan and Momo even play with your toys. Why doesn't anyone care about you anymore?"

"But there are still people who don't care about turtles!" The Brazilian tortoise turned around and showed her its tail.

Jiang Yuan's voice was tinged with amusement: "Are you talking about me?"

The Brazilian tortoise turned back to look at her. "You finally found out! Yuan Yuan, how cruel of you! You didn't even bring the tortoise on your live stream today!"

God knows how anxious it was when it saw its other friends going upstairs.

"Good turtle, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Jiang Yuan reached in and touched its shell, coaxing, "I'll take you with me next time."

"you swear."

"I swear I will definitely bring my dear turtle with me next time I do a live stream."

"Hmph, that's more like it!"
