The person on the other end of the line said something with a very careful and gentle attitude, but Chi Jiao tried her best to figure out who the caller was.
After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered.
Jian Shan, the mayor’s wife in White City.
She had saved Jian Shan’s mother before, that’s why she had her phone number.
“Miss Chi, did you not receive the invitation?” Jian Shan’s voice was heard from the other end.
“Sorry, I don’t have time to attend the banquet, but I’ve already gotten someone to send my regards.” Chi Jiao knew that Jian Shan was talking about the charity banquet tonight. She had already received the invitation and had arranged for someone to send her gifts tonight.
All the gifts Jian Shan received tonight would be auctioned on the spot. The proceeds would then be donated to a charity organization to help build a school for the children in the mountains.
Therefore, Chi Jiao had especially drawn a painting that symbolized light and hope as well.
“I heard that you’re back in White City now? Do you have time for an afternoon tea with us?” Jian Shan was still very regretful that Chi Jiao couldn’t be present tonight.
“Madam Jian, I hope that no one else knows about my stay in the White City, including my family.” Chi Jiao’s voice was faint.
Jian Shan was obviously stunned for a moment. After a while, she said, “Okay, I understand.”
After hanging up, Jian Shan stared at the phone in her hand. She still couldn’t understand why Chi Jiao was unwilling to expose her whereabouts. Moreover, it seemed like the Chi family didn’t know that their Second Miss was a big shot who knew everything.
She was clearly shining bright, but yet she did not want others to know about it. In fact, she even wanted to hide it from her family. This Second Miss of the Chi family was indeed interesting.
“Mom!” Hearing the shout, Jian Shan turned around to see Yun Qiang walking towards her with Chi Yan.
“Let me introduce you. This is the genius young lady I mentioned to you before, Chi Yan,” Yun Qiang said playfully to Jian Shan.
Genius young lady?
These words made Jian Shan think of Chi Jiao again. That description was only appropriate for that girl.
“Hello, Auntie Jian. Happy birthday!” Chi Yan was wearing a red gown, revealing her beautiful curves.
Jian Shan smiled faintly and nodded.
“Mom, Yanyan is very impressive, especially in the field of cardiology. You can find some time in the next few days to let Yanyan take a look at Grandma’s health.” Yun Qiang glanced at Chi Yan beside her with admiration.
“Xiao Qiang, you flatter me. I’m not that great, but I’m willing to try my best.” Although Chi Yan said so, the pride in her eyes could not be concealed.
“You two youngsters don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already found a more suitable person to nurse your grandmother’s health.” For some reason, Jian Shan found Chi Yan very unpleasant to the eye.
She couldn’t help but feel that the young girl in front of her was too tactful and worldly-wise. She was the total opposite of Chi Jiao’s indifferent personality, and she liked the latter more.
“A more suitable person? Who is it?” Yun Qiang asked with a frown.
Jian Shan thought of Chi Jiao’s words and looked profoundly at Chi Yan beside her. She said, “We’ll talk about that next time. Qiangqiang, I’ll go entertain the guests. Take your friend around.”
With that, Jian Shan left.
Chi Yan didn’t expect to be rejected and stood rooted to the ground.
Yun Qiang didn’t expect things to turn out this way, either. Seeing that Chi Yan didn’t look too good, she quickly went to comfort her. “Yanyan, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know that my mom had already found someone else.”
Chi Yan forced a smile onto her face. “It’s alright. You don’t have to take it to heart. No matter who it is, as long as they can nurse your grandma back to health, that’s good enough.”
Hmph, she would like to see what kind of immortal Jian Shan could find to save that old woman.
She had previously learned from Yun Qiang about her grandmother’s situation. That old woman definitely didn’t have many years left.
