Chapter 2922 How Do I Know If She’s Well
“Don’t think too much, Mom. I just… just don’t want to let Brother know why I left. I’m alone in Dali now. I know you’ll be worried, so I called you first to tell you my location.” “How long are you planning to stay in Dali?” Mrs. Jiang asked.
“Not sure. I’ll see what the environment’s like first. If I like it, then I’ll stay a bit longer. I just want to stay in a place far from the memories of the past two years and relax thoroughly,” came the reply. “I’ve rented a short-term flat in Dali. It’s cheaper than a hotel. Then I’ll find a part-time job, enough to for me live on. I wish to try a casual and free-spirited lifestyle.”
“Then take good care when you’re alone outside, alright? Call me every day, okay? I won’t tell your dad and brother.”
“Alright.” Jiang Yujie also knew that she couldn’t be willful and go completely off-grid, making her family worry.
The best she could think of now was to let Mrs. Jiang rest her worries first.
As long as Mrs. Jiang knew she was safe, Mr. Jiang and Jiang Huaizhou would also take it easy based on her attitude.
“Not telling your brother is understandable, but why not your dad?” Mrs. Jiang questioned.
Jiang Yujie paused. “Just… just afraid he’ll tell my brother!
“Think about it, if my brother asks, would Dad keep it from him?” Jiang Yujie asked.
He was his biological son; Mr. Jiang had never kept anything from Jiang Huaizhou.
Mrs. Jiang considered it and agreed with her
point.
“Alright, I won’t tell him.”
But Mrs. Jiang still had her doubts despite Jiang Yujie’s words.
She had a feeling Jiang Yujie wasn’t telling the whole truth.
“Mom, I’ve just arrived and need to unpack first. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Mrs. Jiang hung up, relaxed and ready to cook dinner.
As she busied herself, Mr. Jiang came in.
Seeing Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang continued cooking. “Why did you come in?”
“Did Yujie just call you?” he asked softly.
Mrs. Jiang found it strange. They were in the kitchen with the door closed. Why was he still keeping a low volume?
Like he was keeping it from Jiang Huaizhou.
Jiang Yujie was worried that he would tell Jiang Huaizhou.
Who knew he’d seemingly want to keep it a secret from him?
Mrs. Jiang kept her head down, pretending to be busy. “Mmm, it’s Yujie. She called to say she had arrived safely.”
“Where is she now?” Mr. Jiang continued in a low voice.
“She doesn’t want me to tell you, afraid you’ll tell Huaizhou.”
Mr. Jiang replied awkwardly, “Why would I tell Huaizhou?” Mrs. Jiang didn’t speak and did her own things. “And she… is fine now?” Mr. Jiang asked. “I can’t see her, how do I know if she’s fine?” Mrs. Jiang’s eyes got red-rimmed. “She would call and would surely say everything’s fine to not make me worry.”
Mrs. Jiang thought about it and felt very aggrieved.
Jiang Yujie went through great difficulties to rescue Jiang Huaizhou.
The family’s whole again and about to start afresh.
Who knew Jiang Yujie would leave?
She did it all to save Jiang Huaizhou!
The person with the most credit couldn’t stay at home.
How wrong was that!
No matter how equally she treated both, Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help feeling sorry for her daughter.
