Jiang Yang invited Xin Gan in the name of Cheng Jiu, but when he arrived at their team, the first person Xin Gan saw was Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang gave a slight smile and said, "Miss Xin, I'm sorry. It was I who let Jiang Yang deceive you. He said Cheng Jiu invited you to the team. Actually, it was I who wanted you to get together. I think Cheng Jiu will be very happy to see you later."
Xin Gan pondered for a moment and said, "I think you must have misunderstood."
Jiang Tang didn't understand her meaning. He let out an "ah" and asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"
"I..."
Xin Gan was just about to speak when Cheng Jiu's voice came from behind him.
Jiang Tang hurriedly stepped forward to greet Cheng Jiu and said, "Cheng Jiu, you've come just in time. Miss Xin heard that you were back today and really wanted to see you, so she asked Jiang Yang to bring her to the team to look for you."
Xin Gan froze on the spot, looking back at Jiang Tang in disbelief. Jiang Tang, upon meeting her gaze, quickly averted it as if nothing had happened.
Cheng Jiu's forced gaze fell upon Xin Gan and he said, "Looking for me?" And his eyes seemed to ask, why did she come here?
Xin Gan forced himself to stand there, neither admitting nor denying.
Cheng Jiu: "Do you know what place this is where you can come and go freely?"
Xin Gan was completely stunned by his harsh words, not knowing what to do and showing a hint of panic.
Cheng Jiu showed no mercy either: "Speak up, mute?" Or deafness?
In front of so many people, Xin Gan was scolded by him for no reason. She felt embarrassed. She had never suffered such injustice since childhood. She took a step back, stood firm and said, "Yes, I was looking for you. But it's fine now. Sorry to disturb you. I'm leaving first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and left without the slightest hesitation, her steps even in a jumble.
She didn't care about anything else and just wanted to leave here.
The atmosphere suddenly became delicate. The others stood aside, secretly exchanging glances with each other, understanding that once Cheng Jiu's temper flared up, no one dared to provoke him, and they didn't want to suffer either.
Jiang Tang and Jiang Yang, on the other hand, remained indifferent and neither of them said a word.
Finally, Jiang Tang said, "Cheng Jiu, don't be angry. Why are you angry with Miss Xin? She's just a girl. She came all the way from Yongcheng to here. It's not easy for her either. I'll go and talk to her."
Cheng Jiu frowned and said, "Are you very free?" All of you go back and do what you should do.
Jiang Tang: "Cheng Jiu, I'm not your subordinate. I won't listen to you."
No one should interfere in this matter. Cheng Jiu's voice carried a hint of warning.
Jiang Tang's expression froze and she said, "Let Miss Xin leave alone as a girl. There's no bus here to take her back to the inn..."
Cheng Jiu paid no attention and left at once.
Jiang Yang waited for him to walk far away and said, "What should we do? If Miss Xin tells Brother Jiu about this..."
Jiang Tang: "Then don't give them a chance to meet."
...
Even when Xin Gan was living alone abroad, she was never bullied for no reason like this. Especially when she was publicly investigated by Cheng, she didn't come to Beiyu to seek punishment. She had done nothing at all.
And that Jiang Tang, she clearly said that Cheng Jiu was looking for her, but after arriving at the destination, she claimed that she was using Cheng Jiu's name.
Without a word, Cheng Jiu scolded her without distinguishing right from wrong. She felt wronged in her heart and had a very strong sense of self-esteem. She would never tolerate such anger.
She's leaving. It's definitely not on his side.
Xin Gan went to the sentry post to ask for directions and see if there was a car available to return to the inn in Wuke Town.
The sentry on duty at the sentry post said, "There are no buses from here to Wuke. If you want to take a bus, you have to walk for half an hour to the nearest station. There are buses from the station to Wuke."
Beiyu Island has a vast territory, and the distance between its towns is quite far.
