Chapter 915: You’re Alone
Jiang Yao stood outside the door and called Ah Lu. “Help me book three tickets. You and Big Ke will go to Yuan City with me tomorrow.”
Lu Yuqing had returned, and Big Ke had followed her to town. At that time, she could only contact Ah Lu.
“Okay, Director Jiang.” Ah Lu did not ask much; he immediately agreed after he received the order.
Jiang Yao stood outside the door for a while. After she had calmed down, she returned to the banquet. Lu Yuqing teased her when she returned to the table and asked, “Was it Lu Xingzhi on the phone?”
Jiang Yao smiled and shook her head. “No, it was a classmate of mine.”
After she thought about it for a while, she turned to her in-laws and said, “Dad, Mom, I have an urgent matter in Yuan City tomorrow. My roommate has some problems at home and needs my help.”
“Tomorrow? By yourself?” Mr Lu was surprised.
“Which roommate?” Lu Yuqing asked casually. She knew all of Jiang Yao’s roommates; she knew that they were all good ladies.
“Xiaoxia, the happy girl from the north.” Jiang Yao sighed. “Her sister—”
There were other people at the table, so Jiang Yao did not say much about it. However, Mrs Lu and Lu Yuqing understood more than half of her expression; they sighed too.
“You’re going alone?” Mrs Lu was afraid that Jiang Yao would be at a disadvantage if she went to an unfamiliar place by herself. “How can a lady like you help?”
“Her sister’s condition isn’t very good right now, and she won’t allow anyone to get close to her. My roommate wants me to take a look at her sister’s condition. Since we are friends, perhaps her sister might let me get close to her because she trusts her sister,” Jiang Yao explained. “So I decided to go there to have a look. It doesn’t really matter if I can help them or not; her family’s elders are all hospitalized. It’s only right for me to go and accompany them. As for safety, don’t worry about me. Xingzhi has many comrades in that city, and I’ll contact them when I’m there.”
Jiang Yao could only use Lu Xingzhi as an excuse; she could not tell them that she had bodyguards with her.
Mrs Lu was relieved to hear that Lu Xingzhi’s comrades were there as well. She thought that Jiang Yao had already told her son about the matter.
“Then, your sister can drive you to the airport tomorrow morning.” Mrs Lu nodded. “After the matter is settled, you’ll go directly to Jin City from there? You probably won’t have the time to come back here, right?”
Mrs Lu felt sorry for Jiang Yao. She had been back for a few days, but Mrs Lu had not had a chance to cook her a meal.
However, Mrs Lu kept that to herself. She knew that the children had grown up, and they had their own things to do. They would have no choice but to leave the boundary of their family.
When Jiang Yao’s classmates were in trouble, they would call Jiang Yao for help. One could see that Jiang Yao and her classmates got along very well. Furthermore, her classmates trusted her. When Mrs Lu thought about that, she felt a little happy; it was not bad for a girl to be independent.
The wedding banquet lasted until two o’clock in the afternoon. They would have another meal in the evening. After dinner, they would go to the bridal room. The adults and children would gather in the new room and fuss about the bride and groom. The atmosphere would be pushed to an energetic high.
Jiang Yao did not rest at home in the evening. After the fuss in the bridal room was completed, she packed her clothes and returned to town with Lu Yuqing and the others. She planned to go to the airport from the Lu family’s home the following day.
It was already eleven o’clock when she returned to the Lu family. After she took a shower, Jiang Yao finally had the time to call Lu Xingzhi. Since she knew that the Jiang family was very busy that day, they had agreed to a call after everything was completed that day.
