Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg
Chapter 1073: Harboring Ulterior Motives
Then, quickly turning her head, she saw that Jiang Xue hadn’t left yet, so she shouted, "Little Xue, wait!"
Jiang Xue heard An Ru’s shout and stopped. At this moment, An Ru quickly took out the things she prepared from the car, then carried them over to Jiang Xue, and said with a smile, "Little Xue, these are items from my workplace, I don’t need them myself, so I’m planning to give them to uncle and aunt. Can you help take them back?"
"Sister Ru, what are you doing?"
"Little Xue, this is a token of my goodwill, please don’t refuse. I originally wanted to visit them earlier but didn’t know your address. So, I can only send some things as a token of my intentions."
Seeing how sincere An Ru was, Jiang Xue finally accepted the things and carried them home.
Upon returning home, her parents saw that she was carrying several bags and asked, "Xue’er, why did you buy so many things?"
"I didn’t buy them, they were given by someone else." Jiang Xue said while putting the things on the table, then added, "They’re a gift for you, take a look."
"Given to us?" Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were taken aback, then started unpacking the items. Upon seeing them, they found they were indeed suitable for elderly people, and they looked like they were of good quality, definitely not cheap, so they asked, "Xue’er, who gave these?"
"An Ru!" Jiang Xue said, then remembered that her parents didn’t know who An Ru was, so she explained, "She’s Old Sir Jiang’s daughter-in-law."
Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang knew that Old Sir Jiang had three sons. The eldest was Jiang Xue’s father, who had passed away. The second was Jiang Mingzhu’s father, now an official in Su City. The third was in South City, and they didn’t know what he did.
Now hearing Jiang Xue say this, they figured An Ru was probably the third son’s wife.
"She does have some thoughtfulness!" Mrs. Jiang commented, then asked Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, when did you get to know her, why haven’t you mentioned her before?"
"I’ve known her for a while, but she’s busy and I’m busy, so we’ve met very few times. Counting today, we’ve only met three times."
"What, only met three times, and you’ve accepted her things. Aren’t you afraid she’s like Ming Lan, with bad intentions?"
"Mom, don’t worry, An Ru is not like that. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll arrange for you to meet her, you’ll know then that she’s completely different from Ming Lan."
"But..." Mrs. Jiang wanted to say more, but Father Jiang interrupted her, saying, "Xiuhua, Xue’er knows what she’s doing, don’t worry too much. An Ru does have some consideration, preparing so many things for us."
"You old man, I know she’s thoughtful, but I’m just worried she has other motives."
"Mom, relax, I understand. If you like these things, just accept them, don’t feel burdened."
Mrs. Jiang was about to speak, but Father Jiang spoke first, saying, "Alright, we understand."
Seeing Father Jiang’s decision, Mrs. Jiang didn’t say anything more. Jiang Xue didn’t want to dwell on the matter either, and turned to play with her son.
Rather than arguing about this with her mother, she’d prefer to spend time playing with her son.
Mrs. Jiang watched Jiang Xue, sighed, then put the items away. After tidying, she didn’t interrupt Jiang Xue and Little Reunion playing, but sat aside watching TV.
Only she knew whether she was paying attention to the TV or not.
