Sometimes women have a keen sense for these things. Back when Jiang Xinyu had just joined them, she already sensed that Lv Beiguang was different towards her.
At that time, her heart was only for Lv Beiguang, but she never harbored any resentment towards Jiang Xinyu and always treated her like a little sister.
After she got married, she increasingly felt that Lv Beiguang had Jiang Xinyu in his heart, but Xinyu didn’t feel the same way about him.
Until Xinyu returned with two children, all their friends were stunned, as no one knew who the man was.
This girl kept her lips tightly sealed and wouldn’t say anything even when asked.
However, no one forced her to talk; at that time, she seemed to be doing quite well.
She once privately suspected that perhaps Xinyu experienced something unpleasant, which was why she was unwilling to speak about it.
As a friend, it was even less likely to reveal a friend’s scars.
The phone rang, snapping her out of her thoughts.
Then she called them one by one. Everyone would come over tonight, after all, Xinyu had been gone for several years.
These male secretaries had a good relationship with Jiang Xinyu because she helped them all make money, right?
Back then, food was extremely precious, and this young girl managed to get so much of it; even she stored up money from those times.
Jiang Xinyu said a few words to acquaintances outside before leaving.
Thinking about seeing familiar faces made her a little excited, and it felt just right.
She headed straight to the restaurant and found Ding Shihong resting at this time.
When he heard that there was a woman outside looking for him, he was rather puzzled.
"Girl? Xinyu?"
"Brother Ding, I came to see you."
"Girl, I’ve been waiting for you. Come, let’s go sit in the room."
Jiang Xinyu smiled as she followed behind Ding Shihong into his office.
"Girl, you certainly haven’t changed."
"Thanks, Brother Ding. Just save the biggest room for tonight; we might need three tables."
"Everyone is coming?"
"Indeed. I’m back today and inviting everyone to get together. It’s been years since we last met."
"Okay, no problem. There’s good food too."
"Brother Ding, how have you been these past few years?"
"Just the same. After you left, it’s been relatively calm. Mostly because that man surnamed Kong is gone, and the new guy is quite honest, so it’s not as chaotic as before."
"That’s good. This way, everyone can live peacefully."
"Isn’t that right? How have you been outside? How are the kids?"
"They will all come tonight. I’m doing quite well over there. The people are genuine and friendly towards my family."
"Who is my little sister anyway? Of course, no one would harbor ill will towards you."
"Haha, I do enjoy hearing Brother Ding talk."
"Since you left, we haven’t had many gatherings. Everyone stays out of trouble, just afraid of getting entangled in anything."
"I don’t want to come back also because of this. It’s a bit secluded there, always particularly peaceful, a regular life every day that I love."
"I’d say, why wouldn’t you want to come back? But you’re still young and capable; don’t you feel it’s a waste? Moreover, don’t you think your college education went to waste?"
"We’ll see in a few years. I have no such thoughts now."
"How long are you planning to stay at home?"
"After Guodong’s wedding, I’ll head back home to pay respects to my family, then return to the capital before the New Year. The children’s mentor isn’t well and is receiving treatment in the capital; we must return."
"So it’s unknown when you’ll come back next time?"
"Yes, no idea when I’ll return."
"Girl, come back. It’s quite peaceful here too. You were scared off by that Kong, but now this new guy is smart, has good standing and reputation among the people.
If he doesn’t stir up trouble, life remains peaceful, and this college education is really a waste."
"Haha, I still don’t have that thought now."
"You truly are determined, but if you’re here at home and something happens, we can lend a hand, but with you being so far away, we wish we could help but can’t."
"No worries, Brother Ding. I’m doing quite well outside; I’m now a teacher, highly respected in the village."
"You can teach high school once you come back."
Jiang Xinyu just smiled; she’s actually wary of the disaster a few years later, coupled with Wei Kaiyun’s situation, staying outside is safer.
It’s getting late. "Brother Ding, I’ll head back first. Just make sure you’ve arranged everything for tonight."
"Relax, no problem. If Brother Ding can’t do anything else, this sort of thing is something he can manage."
She can’t persuade, everyone has their own ideas.
Jiang Xinyu left the restaurant and headed straight home. The kids should be back soon.
I wonder how everyone will react to seeing Wei Kaiyun tonight, there’s quite some anticipation.
They probably never imagined the children’s father would be Wei Kaiyun, right? Especially since Lv Beiguang was extremely surprised back then.
When she got home, the kids weren’t back yet; only Wei Kaiyun was on the bed watching pictures with the two little ones.
Upon seeing mom come in, Tingting immediately reached out, wanting to be held.
But with Shi Xian, how could there be room for her?
Shi Xian directly ran towards Jiang Xinyu, regardless of being on the bed.
Jiang Xinyu picked him up, gave his bottom a pat, "Aren’t you watching where you’re going? This is a bed, if you fall, it’s going to hurt."
Shi Xian just laughed, his fawning demeanor truly had Jiang Xinyu unable to rebuke him. He’s quite a cheeky little one.
Wei Kaiyun took Shi Xian from her, only then did Jiang Xinyu take off her coat.
"How was it, excited to see old friends?"
"Of course excited. We’re dining at the restaurant tonight, tomorrow I’ll invite Qian Jun, Yao Shimin, and Qiao Jingyi for a meal.
Though I’ll soon head over to Wang Ailing’s home."
"I’ll go with you."
Jiang Xinyu helplessly glanced at this man, he just wants to make his presence felt, everyone will definitely be surprised this time.
Lv Beiguang really keeps a tight lip; the friends are unaware.
Shi Xian, hearing about going out, immediately called out to mom, his eager look very endearing.
"Old Han and others aren’t back yet?"
"Let’s head to the Lv Family then. They’ve probably gone there?"
Now the two parents dressed the two kids in outerwear again. Jiang Xinyu slipped back into the coat she had just taken off.
They had just finished dressing when they heard the kids’ voices outside.
They’re back?
"Mom, where are you going?"
Jiang Xinyu looked at the rosy faces of her children, touched Feifei’s hand to ensure they weren’t cold, and felt relieved.
"I was thinking of going to your Uncle Lv’s place looking for you. We’ll soon head to Aunt Wang’s home. Tonight we’re dining at the restaurant, but not with Aunt Wang’s household, but with uncles and aunts you know."
"Xiao Jiang, us fellas won’t be going, we’re going to the Lv Family."
"It’s lively with lots of people. You won’t join? They’re all my old friends, each one a secretary from factories."
Han Xiangjun smiled and shook his head, but Jianbin wants to go.
