Chapter 742 Letting Down That Little Orange Cat

After arranging for Fu Xiaohang to take Xu Shiling and her sister home, Fu Xiaoxiao wore a relieved, aunt-like smile.

Jiang Yuan looked away from her face and tapped a few times on her phone. "Are you trying to set us up again?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise, "Yuan Yuan, how did you know?"

Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly, "How could I not understand you?"

There were actually two cars; Fu Xiaoxiao only called Fu Xiaohang to pick her up, assuming that all four of them were going to the East Coast Villa.

"Hehe." Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Then let's take a taxi back."

"Need not."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

“You forgot, Shiling and I drove here.”

"Oh right, I forgot."

"Let's go, young lady."

Jiang Yuan slept until she naturally woke up.

When she got up, Fu Xiaoxiao was still fast asleep.

After washing up, Jiang Yuan went downstairs, opened WeChat, and saw several new messages from Xu Shiling.

She took Xu Shili out for a stroll early in the morning.

It was almost lunchtime, and Fu Xiaoxiao was still asleep, so Jiang Yuan invited the two sisters to have afternoon tea together.

To avoid missing afternoon tea, Jiang Yuan ate something quick to fill her stomach and then ran upstairs to wake Fu Xiaoxiao up.

The afternoon tea restaurant was chosen by Fu Xiaoxiao; it was exquisite and delicious, but the only downside was that it was expensive.

After having afternoon tea, we started browsing and shopping.

Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao wanted to give Xu Shili a gift, but they were worried that she wouldn't like it. After thinking it over, they went to the gold counter.

Giving gold is still the most practical gift.

"Shili, welcome back." Jiang Yuan and Fu Xiaoxiao handed her the gifts at the same time.

Although Xu Shili didn't know how valuable the contents of the box were, she kept refusing to accept it.

"Listen to me, accept the gift first," Jiang Yuan coaxed. "This is a token of our appreciation from Xiaoxiao and me. If you refuse, we'll take it as you not liking us."

"Shiling, please let your sister accept it." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Shiling, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."

Xu Shiling felt a warmth in her heart, nodded gently, and said to Xu Shili, "This is Yuan Yuan and Xiao Xiao's token of affection, so please accept it."

Xu Shili was still hesitant, "I know both of my older sisters are very good to me, but..."

"No, but it's me." Fu Xiaoxiao simply stood up, picked up two small boxes, and put them directly into Xu Shili's bag.

She nodded in satisfaction. "Perfect."

Xu Shili opened her eyes wide in surprise.

This is someone who genuinely wants to give a gift.

Simple and crude.

Xu Shili pursed her lips and said earnestly, "Thank you, Sister Yuan Yuan and Sister Xiao Xiao."

When she gets her next paycheck, she'll buy gifts for her sisters.

"Come to my house for dinner," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "My mom was overjoyed to hear that Shili is back, and she said she'd personally cook dinner for Shili tonight."

Xu Shili was flattered and said, "Auntie, you're so kind."

Xu Shiling showed gratitude, "Aunt Rui is a very nice person. She even taught me how to make dumplings a few days ago."

"That's great!" Xu Shili's lips curled up slightly. "I'm really looking forward to seeing Aunt Rui."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "She's also looking forward to meeting you."

Deng Rui was already preparing the dishes, and while she was delighted, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.

Shiling found her sister, whom she had lost for sixteen years. She also found Mingfei, but it seemed that her Mingfei was unwilling to come back.

After feeling sad for a while, Deng Rui encouraged herself to cheer up.

Today is a good day, we shouldn't spoil the fun.

As dinner time approached, Jiang Yuan and the others returned.

Xu Shiling introduced Mei Bao, Xu Shili, to everyone.

"Shili, it's good to see you back." Deng Rui handed her a red envelope. "You and Shiling should get along well from now on."

Having experienced receiving gifts that afternoon, Xu Shili obediently accepted the red envelope this time, saying crisply, "Thank you, Aunt Rui!"

Deng Rui smiled and said, "Don't mention it."

When Jiang Die heard that Xu Shiling's sister was coming over, she bought a gift on her way home from get off work.

He followed Deng Rui and delivered the gift.

Even the three little ones, Zhanzhan, Momo, and Xiaoguang, prepared hand-drawn pictures for her.

Xu Shili felt wonderful about everyone's kindness; a soft warmth spread through her chest, and her tense nerves relaxed.

A table full of steaming hot food was enjoyed amidst laughter and cheerful conversation. Everyone ate with great pleasure.

"Why don't you stay here tonight?" Deng Rui asked with a smile.

Xu Shiling didn't mind, but she didn't know what Mei Bao was thinking. She turned to look at her and asked in a low voice, "What do you think about staying here?"

Xu Shili liked Jiang Yuan's family very much, and immediately nodded, "Sure."

Xu Shiling smiled and said to Deng Rui, "Aunt Rui, Shili and I will stay tonight."

"Great!" Deng Rui said with a smile. "I heard that Shili likes taro. We happen to have some at home. We'll make sweet soup with taro later."

"Thank you, Aunt Rui!" Xu Shili quickly expressed her gratitude.

Fu Xiaoxiao pouted and asked jokingly, "Aunt Rui, you know Shili likes to eat taro, but do you know what I like to eat?"

Deng Rui blinked and said with a smile, "Of course I know."

A look of curiosity immediately appeared in Fu Xiaoxiao's eyes. "Then, Aunt Rui, what do you think?"

"You love everything I cook." Deng Rui raised her eyebrows proudly. "So, are you satisfied with my answer?"

Fu Xiaoxiao immediately gave a thumbs up, "Satisfied! Perfect answer!"

Deng Rui instantly looked smug.

Everyone was amused by this scene.

Before going to bed, Jiang Yuan received several WeChat messages from Han Anduo.

Han Anduo: [Teacher Jiang, I don't know if I've disturbed your rest so late.]

Han Anduo: [I've been saying I'd send you a video, but I haven't because my cat is hiding.]

Han Anduo: [I had just mentioned to it that I wanted to get another cat at home the other day, and it seemed to get angry. It wouldn't listen to me, and it just found a place to hide and wouldn't play with me. Even trying to coax it with treats didn't work.]

Han Anduo: [Looks like I'll have to let that little orange cat down...]

Jiang Yuan carefully read the message and typed a reply: [It's okay, this is quite normal and strange; kittens also have possessiveness. Since the original inhabitants disagree, you can ask people around you if they want to adopt the kitten.]

Han Anduo seemed to be checking WeChat and quickly replied: 【Okay, Teacher Jiang, thank you for your trouble.】

Jiang Yuan: [If you've visited the little orange cat these past couple of days, we can have a video call so I can chat with it.]

Han Anduo: [Okay! Then I won't disturb your rest any longer, goodnight~]

Jiang Yuan: [Goodnight!]

Fu Xiaoxiao had just finished showering when she saw Jiang Yuan staring blankly at her phone screen.

"Yuan Yuan, what are you looking at so intently?" Fu Xiaoxiao said as she leaned over to her side.

Jiang Yuan turned her head to look at her and said softly, "I also met a girl in Jiangcheng this time. Her name is Han Anduo. I feel that she looks a bit like Aunt Wen Yin's daughter."
