Chapter 2006: Take It
They did not seem to want, or rather, did not dare, to let Jiang Yao hear what they were saying.
Even though Jiang Yao was a warm-hearted person who would not let other people’s comments or behaviors affect her life, she would be irritated if she experienced such things too frequently.
Jiang Yao was still enraged when she went home with a bottle of vinegar. With a sigh, she handed the vinegar to Lu Xingzhi, who was cooking. “Take it.”
Jiang Yao’s tone was not very pleasant since she was unhappy. Lu Xingzhi could tell she was irritable.
“You’re not happybecause I ordered you to go out and buy a bottle of vinegar?”
Lu Xingzhi took the bottle and was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he used his oily hand to pinch Jiang Yao’s chubby cheeks. “The sun is setting, and it’s not hot outside. It’s not bad for you to go out for a walk.”
“I’m not so easily angered.” Jiang Yao slapped his hand that was near her face. She rolled her eyes and said, “I’ll go out for a walk. Call me when we can eat.
Jiang Yao bolted out of the kitchen after saying that, not waiting for Lu Xingzhi to respond. She pulled Moe out of the living room, where he was watching TV, and then dashed out the door.
It was a coincidence. As soon as Jiang Yao stepped outside, she noticed Colonel Ye’s son, who lived next door, getting ready to enter the house.
Jiang Yao did not like Ye Xueli. She did not have any feelings for Colonel Ye and his wife, but she did not have any negative feelings toward Ye Jianguo.
“Ye Jianguo,” Jiang Yao called out to him.
Ye Jianguo stopped in his tracks. When he turned around and saw Jiang Yao, he immediately ran away.
Ye Jianguo reacted quickly, but Jiang Yao was faster than him. She reached out and grabbed the person about to run into the house. “Why are you running when you see an old woman?
“You’re not older than me. How are you old?” Ye Jianguo kept shaking his arm, trying to break free. However, he knew that Jiang Yao was pregnant, so he did not dare to struggle too much as she pulled him. He was afraid that he would injure Jiang Yao.
“You have to call me Miss Jiang in school, and you have to call me Mrs. Lu on the army base. Am I not one of your elders?” Jiang Yao giggled. “Let’s go to the side and chat for a while.”
“Miss Jiang, Mrs. Lu, I don’t think I have anything to talk to you about.”
Ye Jianguo’s face was bitter.
“You weren’t like that in the past.”
Ye Jianguo used to be friendly with her. She did not expect that he would want to run when he saw her. The more he ran, the more Jiang Yao would not let him go.
“Ye Jianguo, has anyone in the army base said anything about me in the past two days?”
It was Jiang Yao’s first time there, but Ye Jianguo grew up on the base. He definitely had more connections than Jiang Yao.
Furthermore, when Jiang Yao saw Ye Jianguo’s behavior, she knew that the younger man knew why she was looking for him.
“What did you say? I don’t know anything.” Ye Jianguo pretended to be stupid. However, seeing the look on Jiang Yao’s face, he stopped struggling and sighed. “Since you don’t know about it, don’t ask. I don’t want to tell you. No! I won’t tell you even if I die!”
Ye Jianguo had a determined look on his face. Then, he suddenly looked behind
Jiang Yao and shouted, “Colonel Lu! Colonel Lu! Come get your wife!”
Jiang Yao thought that Lu Xingzhi had come out, so she looked back. She did not expect Ye Jianguo to run away like a rabbit, and there was no one behind her..
