Chapter 278 Am I not smart?
Jiang Manxi breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lonely because the other party's message was brief and distant.
After thinking for a moment, she edited another message.
'Do you need any help? Just let me know.'
She clicked send and stared at the screen with a hint of anticipation.
However, unsurprisingly, the other party fell silent again.
Jiang Manxi started to argue internally again, repeatedly reviewing the two sentences she had just sent.
She suddenly realized that men are all concerned about their image, and by asking him so bluntly if he needed help, wasn't she directly indicating that she already knew about his downfall...?
Then look at that next sentence, wow! He must feel like he's being given charity...
"Ah! I'm so annoyed!!"
Jiang Manxi threw her phone away and buried herself in the covers.
"What's wrong with Manxi?" Lian Yuzhu's voice suddenly rang out from outside the bedroom door.
"It's nothing," Jiang Manxi replied weakly.
"Is Mom coming in?" Lian Yuzhu asked tentatively.
"Okay~" Jiang Manxi replied softly as always.
Lian Yuzhu pushed open the door and walked in, walked around to the window, and reached out to press the switch on the bedside table to open the curtains.
The warm sunlight lazily streamed in.
Lian Yuzhu patted Jiang Manxi's head affectionately, "What's wrong, little girl? Why are you so listless so early in the morning?"
Jiang Manxi sat up abruptly, "It's nothing, Mom. I probably didn't sleep well..."
Lian Yuzhu looked at her face with a hint of doubt.
Jiang Manxi felt uncomfortable being stared at and asked, "Mom, is there something you need to talk to me about?"
After all, even when Yu Zhu wakes her up in the morning, it's usually to tell her to get up and have breakfast. No one would come in early in the morning and sit on her bed to have a heart-to-heart talk for no reason.
Lian Yuzhu was taken aback, then remembered the important matter, "You came back with your brother yesterday?"
Jiang Manxi nodded. "Yes."
Lian Yuzhu's eyes darted around, recalling how her son had spent half the day tinkering in the kitchen yesterday before heading out with a big bag.
"Are you going to see that Miss Mo?"
Jiang Manxi suddenly retreated tactically, her face wary.
"Why doesn't Mom just ask my brother?"
He came to her suspiciously early in the morning, as if he wanted her to be a spy again.
“Oh dear, you know your brother’s personality, how could he tell us the truth?” Lian Yuzhu sighed. “Kids are too smart, it’s no fun at all. We can’t get a single truth out of them.”
Jiang Manxi was forced to listen, but the next second she suddenly realized what was happening.
"What do you mean? I'm not smart?"
Lian Yuzhu was taken aback, a fleeting, somewhat undignified panic crossing her face, but the next second she beamed with joy.
"How could that be? Our Manxi is the smartest girl."
If it were said in the first place, Jiang Manxi would have believed it, since she had always learned everything very well and quickly since she was a child.
Even if she wasn't as smart as her brother, getting into a top university would be a piece of cake for her.
But ever since she met Xiao Leng, and even if things weren't so great, there was still Sister Xiao Hua, when she heard these words again, she knew better than to just roll her eyes.
"Oh dear, Manxi, just tell your mother." Lian Yuzhu approached her repeatedly.
Jiang Manxi refused with integrity, "No way! What if you go and cause trouble..."
"How could that be?!" Lian Yuzhu quickly denied. "Your brother has finally come to understand girls, we'd only help push things along, okay?"
Jiang Manxi pouted and thought for a few seconds, "Really?"
“Yes!” Lian Yuzhu assured him repeatedly.
"Okay." Jiang Manxi compromised. After all, she had considered that her initial image was already negative, so she needed her mother and father to improve it.
"It seems that my brother is now adhering to the principle of 'the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach,' and he's become Sister Xiaohua's cook. Judging from his appearance, he'll probably keep doing it."
"Sister Xiaohua?" Lian Yuzhu suddenly grasped the key point.
"Oh~" Jiang Manxi suddenly remembered that when she mentioned this, only she, her brother, and his driver were in the car; her parents didn't know yet. So she explained:
"Miss Mo is Sister Xiaohua."
Lian Yuzhu's eyes widened. "It's... that little flower?"
"Yes, I agree." Jiang Manxi nodded in affirmation.
"Ah..." Lian Yuzhu was overjoyed, feeling that this was truly like a red thread of fate, so magical!
"Your brother's savior! Your brother should repay him with his body."
Jiang Manxi pursed her lips and remained silent.
Hehe, that's what they said when they first found Xiao Leng, but they all switched sides not long after.
She was left to hold on to the battle against the cold, but ended up becoming the first clown in the battle against the flower.
"Ding-dong~" A message notification suddenly sounded.
Jiang Manxi picked up her phone and saw that it was Zeng Yichen's reply.
"Ah!" she exclaimed, startling Lian Yuzhu.
"Why are you so easily startled, child?"
Jiang Manxi had no time to deal with her mother. She covered her mouth with one hand and opened the message with the other, her hand trembling slightly.
"Can we meet? It's okay if you refuse."
"Ugh!!!!" Jiang Manxi covered her mouth and let out a sharp scream, her hand holding the phone waving wildly.
"Whose message is this? Why are you so happy?" Lian Yuzhu asked with a scrutinizing look.
"Oh dear, friend," Jiang Manxi replied casually, then reached out and nudged Lian Yuzhu.
"Okay, Mom! I'm getting up!! You go do your own thing!"
Lian Yuzhu squinted as she looked at her daughter.
Something's wrong! Something is wrong!
This girl gets this excited just from reading a message; could she have fallen in love?
However, she is not a controlling or rigid mother. She believes her daughter will know how to handle things and does not intend to interfere too much.
She stood up. "Come down and have breakfast quickly."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Mmm!" Jiang Manxi replied perfunctorily to her mother, while her hands were busy replying to Zeng Yichen's email.
'Okay, where would you like to meet?'
This time, Zeng Yichen replied to the message very quickly.
Is it okay to go to the lake park?
Jiang Manxi blushed; he had actually asked her to go to the park.
'Okay, when will we meet?'
The other side responded very quickly as always.
Is now a convenient time?
Jiang Manxi was stunned, her heart pounding like a war drum.
'it is good. '
After sending the message, she immediately threw her phone aside and quickly got out of bed to get ready.
She came downstairs in ten minutes.
Lian Yuzhu and Jiang Sheng were somewhat surprised to see their daughter come downstairs so quickly this time, but they were even more shocked to see that she was already dressed.
She ran straight toward the gate.
"Hey? Aren't you going to eat?" Lian Yuzhu shouted from behind.
"I'm not eating anymore!"
Only Jiang Manxi's voice could be heard from the other end; she had already disappeared.
"Wife, where is Manxi going?" Jiang Sheng scratched his head, completely bewildered.
