Negative pet

Chapter 39 Interception
"Mr. Bai." Jiang Ci took the initiative to say hello to Bai Qinian, "I am Jiang Ci."

Bai Qinian's expression was stagnant, and after looking at it for a long time, he asked Duan Yan'an with his eyes.

"Sit first."

Duan Yan'an didn't respond to him, but Fan let Jiang Ci sit down instead.

The waiters outside the door brought chess boards and tea as usual, as well as a lot of snacks.

When Bai Qinian leaned over to play the chess, he asked in a low voice: "Where did you bring the little girl?"

"It was snatched." He said nonsense seriously, "Mr. Bai doesn't believe it?"

"This girl doesn't look like an ordinary girl..." Mr. Bai looked at Jiang Ci out of the corner of his eye, "She still has golden pupils, but such beautiful golden pupils are really rare... Did you really snatch them?"

Duan Yan'an covered his eyes with a smile: "When did you see me cheating on you?"

"Yan An, this kind of thing is not fun." He turned to Jiang Ci and asked kindly, "Your name is Jiang Ci, right?"

Jiang Ci also nodded in affirmative answer.

"Did you come here by yourself, or..." He glanced at Duan Yan'an, "You were forced to come here?"

"I came with Duan Yan'an." She was afraid that he would not believe her, so she looked at Duan Yan'an and asked, "Right?"

"Well, they followed me."

Mr. Bai seemed to understand something, he also turned his head to look at the chessboard, and said leisurely: "You didn't steal it, you cheated it, didn't you?"

"Mr. Bai, it's your turn." He changed the subject.

The corner of Mr. Bai's mouth curled up quite a bit, and he confidently played the chess in his hand.

Anyway, I watched you grow up, so you still want to hide this from me?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Jiang Ci with a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Ci sat on the chair by the railing, his attention was still attracted by the figure on the stage.

At this time, on the outfield a few towers away from the pavilion, the banquet was in full swing.

Xiaqian city has looked out of the door more than once.

"Aunt Qiao, what are you thinking?"

Seeing that she had been staring at Xia Qiancheng in a daze, Wu Hanyan asked her aloud.

Lin Qiao leaned sideways to her, and whispered back: "Do you know about the engagement between Xiaqian City and the Jiang family?"

"Engagement?" Wu Hanyan suddenly had ups and downs miraculously, "...with Miss Jiang?"

"Who else is there in the Jiang family besides Ah Ci?" Lin Qiao seemed to be full of regrets, "I don't know, will Shi Shen be sad if he finds out?"

And the people beside her have long been unable to listen to any words, and there is a rare look of joy between their brows.

The sky gradually darkened, and when Duan Yan'an brought people out of the pavilion, the banquet outside was already over.

He glanced at the empty venue, and a moment of ridicule appeared in his eyes, then he turned around and put the hand he was holding into his pocket.

"Come on, I'll take you back."

Jiang Ci nodded habitually in response.

Along the way, she kept chattering about the play she heard today, and Duan Yan'an would explain and supplement to her from time to time.

When she got home, she stopped in front of the main hall.

"dad……"

And Xiaqian city happened to be in Jiang's house.

"A Ci, where have you been?" Jiang Yuanshan's face was cold, and his tone was also cold.

She put her hand into her bag and touched it, only to remember that Duan Yan'an had taken her invitation.

"I..." She clenched her fingers guiltily and could only lie, "My invitation card has been dropped... so I can't get in."

Jiang Shu stood up first, and asked her back, "Did you really fall?"

Jiang Ci looked at him in a daze for a while before nodding in response.

"Then where did you go today?"

She didn't know how to answer him, and she was stuck for a long time without saying anything.

"It's good that Ah Ci is back." Xia Qiancheng got up suddenly, and bid farewell to Jiang Yuanshan, "Then Qiancheng will go back first, Uncle Jiang."

Jiang Yuanshan could only nod his head.

Jiang Ci's eyes followed the figure walking towards the door, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia."

Xia Qiancheng stopped at the sound and turned around.

"It's okay, I should wait for you."

She also walked forward, Xia Qiancheng stood on the stone steps and looked at her.

"Mr. Xia, Jiang Ci is not made by foreigners, but born like this..."

"A Ci!" Jiang Yuanshan immediately stopped it.

But she was not afraid, and continued: "Because I was born like this, my vision is limited... so limited that even now I haven't seen you clearly... It's not much different from a blind person, but I'm better than you. The better thing about them is that I still have a blur of light and what little clarity remains..."

Jiang Yuanshan gradually loosened his grip on the sofa cushion.

"Why have you never told us..." he asked blankly.

Before that, Jiang Ci had never told anyone about her limited vision.And the reason why she kept it a secret was because Duan Yan'an had told her after discovering that she had only one foot of vision.

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment before replying to him: "Because... the first person who knew that my vision was abnormal told me that this was my weakness, and I couldn't tell the second person, otherwise the situation would be worse. Very passive."

Jiang Shu was even more confused.

"A Ci, he's right. Don't tell anyone else about it anymore." Xia Qiancheng smiled lightly, and comforted her in turn, "Golden pupils are just a disease. You don't have to. care."

After finishing speaking, he walked up another level of steps, bent slightly, and asked softly, "So...can you see clearly?"

Jiang Ci looked at the person who suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and was stunned for a moment before nodding in response.

As for Xia Qiancheng, just like his gentle voice, his three-dimensional and handsome facial features are also clear and gentle, without any shadow.

"Then I'm leaving?" He asked again.

"Okay." Jiang Ci bid him farewell, "Goodbye, Mr. Xia."

Xia Qiancheng turned around and hid himself in the night.

Jiang Yuanshan got up and walked towards her, all anger disappeared.

"A Ci, you can talk to Dad." He wiped the rain from her head and asked again, "The person you mentioned just now is the same person as the person who taught you to read and write?"

"Yes."

She told him the truth.

"Then is he still in Yandu?"

When Jiang Yuanshan asked, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Jiang Ci was stunned, looked away, and whispered: "I don't know..."

"...Okay." He could only let it go, "Go and change clothes, or you will catch a cold."

Jiang Shu frowned slightly as he looked at the figure going upstairs.

"Dad... Ah Ci is not your own?"

Jiang Yuanshan sighed deeply and rested against the back of the chair.

"No...she was rescued at the pier when I was about to escape from Yandu." He murmured, "I saw her poster in Yandu before, so I was very impressed...I also thought about looking for her. The person who raised her before, but Ah Ci struggled to speak at that time, and she couldn't ask anything at all, not to mention that she was also involved in Zhang Qi, so if she rashly revealed her identity, she would definitely cause trouble..."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Shu complained.

Jiang Yuanshan continued to sigh on his own.

"Forget it... just forget it. After that, she's just Jiang Ci."

Jiang Shu didn't ask anymore.

Everything returned to silence, only the sound of raindrops hitting the bamboo leaves could be heard.
