Chapter 213: Chapter 210: A Dramatic Scene: The Goose Bites

Jiang Mingyue was suddenly intrigued.

The man had a tall and straight figure, but the way he leaned against the door looked roguish, plus that mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Mingyue thought to herself, could this person have wandered into the wrong place?

In a trance, a hand reached out in front of her.

“An Jian. Little sister, nice to meet you.”

Jiang Mingyue thought, that’s not how your face looks.

But she still politely extended her hand.

“Jiang Mingyue. I’m not a little sister.” Then, with a look of disbelief, as if to say “are you blind?”.

An Jian resisted the urge to laugh and touched his nose, but his shoulders shook honestly.

All right then!

“Don’t just stand there, where’s your execution?”

Seriously believing it? An Jian touched his nose again, thinking the Southern Institute must have dementia.

“If you don’t want to work, move out; there are plenty of people who want your position.”

Hearing this, An Jian wasn’t pleased.

But he didn’t delay any longer and decisively called the shots to mobilize the police.

Kidding, if he even lost his command, then what meaning would life have?

Right, this guy didn’t care how he looked, nor whether any girl liked him; what he cared about most was having people follow his command. Ever since he played games with his peers as a child, he had to be the leader.

Rank doesn’t matter as long as there’s an army to command!

An Jian took people to arrest Li Fugui.

Jiang Mingyue thought it had nothing to do with her, so she suggested leaving.

Gan Fengzhe originally wanted her to stay, but Jiang Mingyue found a reason; she wanted to see her father, so he had no choice but to let her go.

However, he agreed with Jiang Mingyue to have a meal together after this was over.

Of course, the implication was not too obvious.

He wanted her to stay.

But gave her time to prepare.

Look how considerate he was.

Retreating to advance can better achieve the goal.

He’s not like Xiang Tianhe.

That old fellow was too overbearing.

Once he caught someone, he would use threats and bribes.

Ha!

That method worked with common folks.

But not with remarkable individuals.

Thinking of Xiang Tianhe, Gan Fengzhe sipped his tea in a good mood.

Slyly thinking that when Xiang Tianhe found out he got a talented person first, his expression would be quite spectacular.

Gan Fengzhe suddenly wanted to see it with his own eyes.

But for now, he couldn’t.

The person hasn’t been completely secured yet.

Stay low-key!

Jiang Mingyue left the Southern Institute, looked at the time, realized she still had time, and immediately rode her bike into another alley to take a shortcut.

On Uncle Ma’s side, just as he was thinking about what to eat tonight, he caught sight of someone riding a bike like a snake, and huh! Why did it look so familiar?

As she got closer, he recognized her, and the old man was stunned, but he sank his face immediately.

“You little…” just started, but the girl yelled for help.

“Grandpa Ma, hurry, whose goose is this, it’s been chasing me, it even bit my calf.”

Uncle Ma: “…” No wonder she was riding her bike like a slithering snake.

Despite his complaints, the old man had already grabbed a broom, of course, he wouldn’t really harm the goose; his compassion had increased as he aged.

With a slapstick approach, the impact was minimal but the insult was high, and when the goose stopped its chase, it stared at Uncle Ma resentfully, seeming as if it would unleash its big weapon on him at any moment, but Uncle Ma wasn’t a pushover for a mere goose.

In the next second, Uncle Ma whistled softly, like calling a kid, and the previously fierce goose instantly turned dumb, behaving so obediently it drew attention.

“Is this goose possessed?”

Jiang Mingyue stopped her bike, no longer afraid of it chasing her, but that goose beak was really…

“Of course! Do you know whose goose this is?”

Jiang Mingyue: “?” She sensed something unusual.

“Miss Cui.”

Miss Cui? Isn’t that Cui Ying? Cui Mingshi’s sister.

Oh well! It was at this moment Jiang Mingyue remembered the novel’s male lead.

But looking at the current trajectory, this was fundamentally a heroine-centric story, men were not important! Really not important!

The main female Jiang Zhenzhu had already changed men, making Cui Mingshi’s status as the male lead null.

However, in her memory, Cui Mingshi’s sister had always been a legend.

Because she hardly appeared in Nanxi City.

Since childhood, Jiang Mingyue only heard Cui Mingshi had a sister but had never seen her.

Until two years ago, the legendary Cui Ying appeared at Grandpa Cui’s birthday banquet.

It was said that this youngest daughter of the Cui Family was born in the countryside when Mrs. Cui was fleeing while pregnant, passing through Baihe Village and accidentally inducing labor. The child was born prematurely, which disrupted Mrs. Cui’s plans, but since the baby was born early, they had to stay there for five years. When Mr. Cui finally went to the countryside to fetch his wife and daughter, the girl refused to leave.

This was the widely circulated version, and as for the book, even until the end, there was no mention of the male lead’s sister.

Still, considering all the flaws in the book, anyone at odds with Jiang Zhenzhu would be vilified, Jiang Mingyue reasonably suspected Jiang Zhenzhu didn’t like Cui Ying, but due to Cui Mingshi’s relationship, simply didn’t mention her in the story.

Of course, this was just her guess.

To know the truth, she needed to find out more.

Has Cui Ying returned?

Two years ago, after attending Grandpa Cui’s birthday banquet, she disappeared again, unsure if she returned to the countryside.

Now…

Uncle Ma gave her a long look. After the earlier incident, his bottled-up anger dissipated.

He was willing to talk to her peacefully.

“She’s back. I noticed Miss Cui looked frail, like a delicate willow. This goose was brought back by Cui Ying from the countryside.”

“Born prematurely, it’s understandable if she’s not in good health. Two years ago, at Grandpa Cui’s birthday banquet, I saw her from a distance, always holding a handkerchief, she did indeed look like Lin Daiyu. But this goose she raised is quite fierce!”

“Isn’t it!” He’d never seen the girl like this before; she’d always been the one bullying others.

No more to say about the goose, Uncle Ma’s frustration brewed again, feeling somewhat depressed.

So after what was a good conversation, Jiang Mingyue suddenly noticed the old man gave a cold snort and returned to his post, as if her earlier peacefulness was just a dream.

So, is he still mad?

Jiang Mingyue quickly followed, her sweet little mouth…

“Grandpa Ma, I really missed you! I wanted to visit ages ago, but the house has been too busy, I couldn’t leave. Like the recent harvest rush, I’ve been down in the fields helping with the harvest, my brother and the others saw me not eating or sleeping, and only then did they let me come to see you, they’re earning today’s work points for me.”

The old man wasn’t unaware that this girl was again making things up, but his heart softened for no reason.

In the end, wasn’t he just afraid she’d forget him?

If so, he’d really be alone in this world.

“Seriously earning work points? Isn’t it tiring? Are you not slacking off? At worst, I’ll give you most of my salary, can’t I support you? Hmph! Fool!”

“Oh, come on! Old man, I find after a few months apart, your temper is indeed getting worse, that won’t do! Come, come, see what good stuff I brought you.”
