Jiang Yao Is Unwilling to Pick Her Up

[Brother, I’ve arrived in Country M. Mom reported to the Pharmacy Association with me this morning. I’m already a member of the Association. I’ll come back with Mom when I’m done here. Can you pick me up at the airport in about a week?]

Jiang Xianrou’s words were light. From the looks of it, she hadn’t met Qiao Nian at the Pharmacy Association.

She didn’t mention her at all.

Jiang Yao’s eyes darkened. He did not reply to her message and put his phone back into his pocket.

…

On the other side, Country M.

Jiang Xianrou hadn’t eaten anything all night and did not have much of an appetite.

She sat in her room and sent a message to Jiang Yao. She thought that he would reply to her soon.

She waited and waited.

She waited for a full hour, but there was no response from him.

The WeChat message she sent to report the good news was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no news.

Jiang Xianrou’s bad mood worsened. She pursed her lips and opened WeChat again to find Jiang Yao’s profile picture.

At first, it was all messages from him.

He asked her if she had arrived in Country M and if she had reported to the Pharmacy Association successfully…

Jiang Yao had sent her a lot of messages.

She never replied.

The latest message was the one she replied to Jiang Yao. What followed was a long wait…

Jiang Yao did not reply to her at all!

Jiang Xianrou’s eyes flickered as she sent him another message.

[Brother? Are you asleep?]

She couldn’t think of a reason why Jiang Yao would not reply to her message. Unless he was asleep and did not see the message!

She felt a little better at the thought.

Just as she was about to put down her phone and wash up, Jiang Xianrou saw Jiang Yao’s nickname on WeChat from the corner of her eye.

She immediately perked up again and waited for him to reply.

Jiang Yao’s reply was not slow. The message came back in less than a minute.

Jiang Xianrou was filled with anticipation as she looked over.

Jiang Yao: [I’m going to the illegal district the day after tomorrow. I might not be back in a week. Tell the driver in advance when you arrive at the airport and ask him to pick you up.]

Jiang Xianrou suspected that she had seen it wrong.

Jiang Yao had doted on her the most since she was young.

Compared to her, Jiang Li looked more like he had been picked up from outside.

But now…

Jiang Xianrou’s heart sank when she saw that Jiang Yao refused to pick her up.

She was too frustrated to reply to him.

Jiang Xianrou exited the chat room and saw that, other than Ruan Sisi asking if she had arrived at the Pharmacy Association, everyone else acted as if they were dead.

Jiang Xianrou felt even more stifled. After thinking about it, she still found Zhang Yang’s WeChat and sent him a message.

Jiang Xianrou: [I’ll be back in a week. Do you have time to come out to eat with me?]

…

On the other side, at Lan Pavilion.

Qin Si, Bo Jingxing, and the others were together.

Zhang Yang and Tang Ning were also there.

Most of the people were sitting around the table. The atmosphere was quite heavy. No one said anything.

At this moment, Zhang Yang’s phone vibrated. He silently picked it up and walked to the side to take a look. He saw Jiang Xianrou’s message when he opened WeChat.

He laughed involuntarily.

“Who is it?” Qin Si propped his leg up and looked at him irritably with an electronic cigarette between his teeth.

After all, with everyone so quiet, Zhang Yang was especially eye-catching.

Zhang Yang walked back with his phone.

“Miss Jiang.”
