Chapter 657: Arguing at the Dinner Table
Jiang Mubai looked at the time and realized that there were only a few dozen minutes left, so he agreed.
On the other side of the telescope, Cheng Yunchuan was conscientiously looking at the documents and signing them, and had no idea that Jiang Mubai was secretly watching him not far away.
After reading the documents for a long time, Cheng Yunchuan felt her eyes sore and looked into the distance. Jiang Mubai thought for a moment that Cheng Yunchuan had discovered her watching him on the rooftop opposite in the office.
But Cheng Yunchuan's expression did not change. Jiang Mubai knew that he was not looking at him, so Jiang Mubai felt disappointed. However, Jiang Mubai quickly comforted himself in his heart: It's good that Cheng Yunchuan didn't find out, otherwise he would be even more disappointed when he finds out and rushes over to find out that I'm gone. It's good this way.
Jiang Mubai cheered up again thinking about this. After all, time was passing slowly, and it would be good to see Cheng Yunchuan for one more second.
While she was daydreaming, Cheng Yunchuan had already retracted his gaze and looked back at the desk.
Jiang An was keeping track of the time, and when the time was almost up, he immediately took Jiang Mubai back. Two of the people assigned to Jiang Mubai were left behind to continue observing Cheng Yunchuan. Jiang Mubai was worried and wanted to know what Cheng Yunchuan had done that day. Seeing her like this, Jiang An didn't want to stop him.
After all, he had told Jiang Mubai yesterday to let these people do whatever they wanted. Now Jiang Mubai asked these people to stay and help her observe Cheng Yunchuan's affairs. Jiang An couldn't stop her so he had to let her do it.
The car drove for half an hour and returned to the Jiang family's old house. Jiang Mubai and Jiang An timed their return just right. As soon as the car stopped, people at the old house were preparing to have lunch.
After hearing the sound, the housekeeper immediately notified the kitchen to make arrangements. When Jiang An and Jiang Mubai sat down in the restaurant, they officially started eating.
Jiang Jinglan had just woken up and missed the Jiang family's breakfast. When she woke up and went downstairs to find food, she could only wait for the kitchen to prepare lunch. She was the only one in the old house, and she was very curious about where everyone had gone.
She called Chen Qingyu and found out that Jiang Ping had gone to the company to take care of something, while Chen Qingyu had gone to do maintenance with her sisters. As for Jiang Mubai, Jiang Jinglan also wanted to ask, but she didn't have Jiang Mubai's contact information and Jiang Mubai didn't have a mobile phone, so she had to give up the idea of contacting her.
Now that Jiang Mubai is back, and he came back with Jiang An, Jiang Jinglan asked directly without any hesitation.
"Mubai, where did you and uncle go so early in the morning? Why did you both get up so early? When I woke up, you were all gone and I was the only one in the old house. I thought I had missed something and was so scared that I finally called my mom and found out that there was nothing wrong."
"Nothing, I just got a little bored after staying in the old house for so long. Didn't your second uncle see that I was not feeling well yesterday, so he wanted to take me out for a walk to change the environment?"
"I see. By the way, why did you come back so soon? Why don't you stay outside for a while?"
"No, I'm still more comfortable staying in the old house. It's too noisy outside. Besides, I can't do anything now that I'm pregnant, so I thought I'd better come back."
"Ok."
Naturally, Jiang An, who was eating at the same table, heard every word that Jiang Jinglan and Jiang Mubai said. He was furious when he saw that both he and Jiang Mubai had gone out for a walk and had just woken up, while Jiang Jinglan had only just woken up.
"Jinglan, what did you do last night? Why did you just wake up now? Don't you know that it's bad for your health to have a reversed day and night schedule? You're already an adult, don't you want me to scold you in front of your sister?"
After hearing Jiang An's words, Jiang Jinglan didn't know how she had accidentally offended Jiang An, otherwise why would he suddenly talk about her? However, since the other party was her elder, she couldn't lose her temper so she could only answer the other party's questions truthfully.
"Uncle, I was chatting with a friend I haven't contacted for a long time yesterday and I accidentally chatted too much. That's why I got up late. Uncle, don't worry, I promise I will learn from my lesson and won't do it again. Please give me some face in front of Mu Bai. After all, I am her sister. How can I have the dignity of a sister if you do this?"
"What kind of authority do you want? Is there anyone in the Jiang family who doesn't know what kind of person you are? No one is as good at acting like a spoiled child as you are. As for those nice words you said, who knows if you really listened to them or were just perfunctory?"
"Oh, Second Uncle is so kind to me and cares about me so much, how could I possibly just be perfunctory with you? Second Uncle, I definitely take everything you said to heart. Second Uncle, just give me a chance to prove myself. Then you'll be able to tell if what I said is true or not."
"You are such a fool. Sigh... Never mind. I know you have grown up and you are no longer a child who cares about face. I won't say those words anymore. It would be better if you two sisters could balance your tempers."
"Hmm? Isn't it good for Mu Bai to be like this? Why do you want to neutralize me? Didn't Second Uncle dislike me just now?"
"It's good, but you're so serious and unsmiling at such a young age. It would be better if Mu Bai could be more lively and clingy like you. But you're too clingy and talk too much. It would be better if Mu Bai could show you some maturity and stability."
"Oh, there is no perfect person in this world, okay? My sister Mu Bai is so good, but you can still find fault with her and say she is too serious. Then I must have a lot of problems in your eyes."
"It's good that you know it in your heart. You are not young anymore, so don't be so arrogant every day. Learn to be more steady in doing things."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember what Second Uncle said. I won't go anywhere these days and will stay at the old house, following Mu Bai and learning from her steadiness and maturity. Are you satisfied with this, Second Uncle?"
"You better be."
"That's for sure. Mu Bai is here to testify. I won't lie to you. Don't worry, Second Uncle."
Seeing Jiang Jinglan arguing with Jiang An, Jiang Mubai felt a headache and was afraid that they would continue talking, so he immediately spoke up to stop them.
"Let's eat. We were talking so much that we didn't have time to eat. The food is almost cold now."
Seeing Jiang Mubai speak, Jiang Jinglan immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, second uncle, let's eat something first. You two have eaten breakfast, but I don't have anything in my stomach yet. I'm already starving. Second uncle, if you are still angry and want to say something to me, then let's finish eating first, okay? After I fill my stomach, I will listen to whatever you say and promise not to talk back to you casually."
Jiang An didn't believe the nonsense Jiang Jinglan said. He snorted coldly and said nothing, which meant he agreed not to talk and started eating.
After all, Jiang Jinglan is not his daughter like Jiang Mubai. Even if Jiang An wants to discipline Jiang Jinglan, he can't go too far and cross the line. That would be bad.
Seeing that the two people finally stopped talking and were eating in peace, Jiang Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and his ears finally became completely quiet.
Afraid that Jiang An would continue to scold him after dinner, Jiang Jinglan ran away immediately after finishing his meal.
