Chapter 1141: Seeking Nangong Chen
The reason she took the initiative to find him was to ask about where Nangong Yao was staying. She was someone who couldn’t tolerate sand in her eyes; since Nangong Yao intended to harm her, she wouldn’t sit idly by.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, was what she liked to do most.
"Alright, I’ll take you there later," Jiang Xue said. Lu Jintian didn’t have much to say and, after bidding farewell to Lan Tianyu and the others, drove away from the restaurant towards Chenyuan.
Watching their car depart, Lan Tianyu and the others were still a bit taken aback.
"Little Xue looks so fragile, but she turns out to be quite a tough character."
"Indeed, this kind of Little Xue is actually quite likable."
"By the way, Little Xue said she was going to Chenyuan. Could she know the Young Master of the Nangong Family?"
"It’s very possible."
"How about we follow them and have a look?"
"Forget it; Jintian wouldn’t want us interfering in this matter."
"True, Jintian has finally found his sister. He’s sure to want to make a good impression on her. We better not go. If Jintian can’t handle it, we can step in to help later."
After some discussion, the young men decided not to follow them to Chenyuan but to leave and go home instead. However, Jiang Xue left a deep impression on them tonight.
As for Jiang Xue and Lu Jintian, they left the restaurant heading directly for Chenyuan. Fortunately, Chenyuan wasn’t far, and they arrived within two minutes.
The car stopped at the entrance of Chenyuan. Jiang Xue got out holding the child and approached the gatekeeper.
"I’m looking for Nangong Chen!" Jiang Xue said to the gatekeeper, "Tell him Jiang Xue is here to visit."
"Alright, please wait a moment." The gatekeeper gave Jiang Xue a deep look. It was the first time he had seen a woman dare to call the master’s name directly. Moreover, this woman was even holding a child—could this be the Young Master’s child?
As the gatekeeper gossiped internally, he quickly called Nangong Chen. At that moment, Nangong Chen was dealing with matters in the study. When his subordinate informed him of Jiang Xue’s visit, he was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Xue to really come, and at this time, too. Previously, he noticed Jiang Xue’s liking for Chenyuan because of its unique scenery.
However, it was night now. Although Chenyuan’s night scenery was unique, it couldn’t compare to the daytime.
The subordinate noticed Nangong Chen in a daze and thought he didn’t want to see Jiang Xue, so he asked, "Young Master, should I go and tell her you’re not here?"
"No need, I’ll go personally!" Nangong Chen snapped back to reality, set aside the unfinished documents, and left the study with large strides.
Jiang Xue waited outside holding the child, while Lu Jintian also exited the car, standing by her side.
"Xue’er, the night is cool. Do you want to wait in the car? I can keep watch here," Lu Jintian said with concern, noticing Jiang Xue’s hair slightly tousled by the night breeze.
"Brother, no need. He should be out soon," Jiang Xue smiled, declining Lu Jintian’s kindness. She knew that if Nangong Chen was there, he would come out quickly.
If asked why she was so confident, Jiang Xue couldn’t explain it herself; it was just a woman’s intuition.
"Alright then, I’ll keep you company," Lu Jintian didn’t insist and stood quietly beside Jiang Xue. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before they heard footsteps.
