Chapter 1634: Don't Be So Good to Strangers

Xie Wanyi came back to his senses.

He suddenly let go and said, "Sorry, I will sit for a while, then I will leave."

Looking at his state, did he look like he had the strength to leave?

Jiang Motian rubbed her wrist and said crossly, "You are injured, and someone is chasing you, so stop moving around; you had better just stay put and be obedient for a while!"

Hearing this, Xie Wanyi raised his eyebrows: "You know someone is chasing me?"

"Yes, I guessed it!"

"Since you know someone is against me, why are you still helping me? Aren't you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself?"

These words made Jiang Motian freeze.

She really hadn't considered this problem before.

And Jiang Motian's naive appearance made Xie Wanyi sneer.

He thought to himself that she really was a young lady who didn't understand the dangers of the world.

The other party's mocking expression made Jiang Motian unable to take it.

She immediately straightened her body and retorted unyieldingly: "You're so great, yet you're still like a weakling right now!"

A weakling...

Xie Wanyi truly hadn't expected that he, who was known as "Netherworld" in the Organization, would be criticized as a weakling by a delicate young lady!

And what was even more bizarre was that Xie Wanyi was not angry.

Instead, he was amused.

In his smile, there was no mockery or sarcasm; he just found it interesting.

Jiang Motian had originally wanted to say something harsh.

But after seeing such a smiling face... she gently pursed her lips.

This man, when he smiles...

He looks very good.

It was a pity that his smile disappeared quickly, leaving only an aftertaste.

Xie Wanyi could feel Jiang Motian staring straight at him.

He raised his eyebrows and met her gaze.

But he discovered that the moment their gazes collided, Jiang Motian looked away as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the mess on the ground, she gathered up the cloth strips and other things the man had discarded.

After dealing with this trash, Jiang Motian prepared to leave.

Before walking out the door, she hesitated for a moment.

But she still said: "I won't be using this Art Studio for another two days; you can stay here for these few days."

This decision took Xie Wanyi by surprise.

But he did not thank her; instead, he reminded Jiang Motian: "Don't be so good to strangers in the future; be careful, or you won't even know how you died."

This guy...

She provided him with convenience, yet he turned around and lectured her?

He really had no conscience!

Jiang Motian was very angry.

She turned her head to look over fiercely and said crossly: "You, you'd better take care of yourself first!"

After saying that, Jiang Motian left through the main door.

She even swung her hand to slam the iron gate shut.

The iron gate collided, making a "Clang!" sound.

It sounded very imposing.

In reality...

It was a bit childish.

Xie Wanyi smiled.

In that smile was a sense of relaxation that even he himself hadn't noticed.

But Jiang Motian could not feel relaxed.

She left the Art Studio and walked quickly along the path.

Not long after walking, she heard someone calling her name: "Tiantian?"

Jiang Motian stopped in her tracks.

Looking back, she saw an elegantly dressed middle-aged woman getting out of a car.

"Aunt Xin'ai!"

The woman walking toward Jiang Motian at this moment was none other than Liu Xin'ai.

Over these years, Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan had been deeply in love.

It was a pity that they had never been able to have any children.

In Liu Xin'ai's heart, there was always a sense of regret.

And this regret was compensated for by her feelings for Jiang Motian and Li Moning.

Liu Xin'ai cherished the two of them just like her own daughters.

At this moment, suddenly seeing Jiang Motian, Liu Xin'ai looked pleasantly surprised.

She even asked: "When did you get back?"

"Just these past few days."

"It's good that you're back; your mother has missed you very much these past few years. By the way, this time back..."

"I'm staying for good. In the future, I'll definitely be coming over to your place for meals."

Liu Xin'ai's smile deepened as she replied, "I would love nothing more! If you don't have any plans today, why don't you come over in a little while?"

"I can't today. Mom has already prepared what we're eating tonight, so let's do another day."

"Mm, then it's a deal."

Jiang Motian nodded. Seeing that Liu Xin'ai was wearing professional attire, she asked, "What are you doing today..."

"I went to attend an academic forum. It just ended, and then I ran into you on the road."

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai had already become a highly respected figure in the medical field.

Her status was exceptional, and her reputation was illustrious.

For someone to be able to invite her to attend, this event must certainly be very important.

But Liu Xin'ai did not chat for long; the next moment, she steered the topic to Jiang Motian: "Why are you alone?"

"My brother helped me find an Art Studio nearby. I came out of the Art Studio to take a walk and see what changes there are in the city."

"There have been quite a lot of changes in these few years. Let me walk with you."

"Okay!"

Jiang Motian smiled and took Liu Xin'ai's arm, and the two walked forward along the roadside together.

The two chatted as they walked.

During this time, Liu Xin'ai also talked about her friends.

Over these years, some of her friends had gone abroad to develop their careers, while others had settled down in other parts of the country.

In the end, the only one she could meet and chat with often was Jiang Baobao.

This result made Liu Xin'ai sigh with emotion.

Yet it also made her think of something: "Your mother's birthday is coming up soon, right?"

Mom's birthday...

A look of confusion appeared on Jiang Motian's face.

She calculated in her heart and suddenly realized that the date was indeed close.

Thinking that she hadn't been able to be by her mother's side for her birthdays over the past few years, Jiang Motian felt regretful.

Now that she was back, she naturally wanted to make up for it.

As for how to make up for it...

Jiang Motian thought for a moment, and an idea popped into her head: "This year, I want to help Mom organize her birthday banquet."

"That's wonderful! Your mother will definitely be happy when she finds out!"

Jiang Motian also hoped her mother would be happy.

It was just that...

Jiang Motian touched her forehead and said embarrassedly, "I don't have much experience, so I'll inevitably need others to help me."

"That's easy to say. Whatever you need, just tell me, and I will definitely support you!"

Liu Xin'ai's support made Jiang Motian reveal a warm smile.

This smile made Liu Xin'ai feel a bit dazed.

For a moment, Liu Xin'ai felt as if Jiang Motian were still the little girl from a few years ago.

Sweet.

And hadn't experienced those unhappy things...

Liu Xin'ai thought of something and sighed softly in her heart.

When her gaze lowered, she caught sight of red marks on the back of Jiang Motian's hand.

Looking closely, Liu Xin'ai frowned: "Why is there blood on your hand?"

Blood?

Jiang Motian looked down and really did see a patch of red on the back of her hand.

She figured it must have been accidentally smeared on when she was dealing with that bloody trash.

Jiang Motian did not want to expose that injured man.

So she could not explain truthfully and had to... tell a lie: "This is actually paint."

"Paint?" Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment and asked, "Paint for drawing?"

"Yes, that's it!"

As Jiang Motian spoke, she rubbed it against her clothes, wanting to rub off those marks.

But after the bloodstains had dried, they wouldn't rub off at all.

She could only use a wet wipe to scrub them.

Jiang Motian scrubbed very hard, and in no time at all, the back of her hand turned red.

Liu Xin'ai hurriedly stopped her: "Be gentle, it will hurt."

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Look, it's clean now."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door, radiating a suffocating chill.
