Chapter 121: Mrs. Jiang Is Excessively Concerned About the Phone

"Sorry, she isn't here; she's gone traveling."

Listening to her own voice, Jiang Zhi suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

The other end of the line also fell silent for a moment.

Then it asked, "Are you Jiang Zhi?"

Jiang Zhi's fingers tightened around the receiver.

"I am."

At this moment, Wu Shen's voice called out from the stairwell, "Miss Jiang Zhi, a classmate is here to see you!"

"Wu Shen, I'm not feeling well today, I'm not seeing anyone!"

Jiang Zhi covered the mouthpiece and replied.

Then she took the opportunity to close her bedroom door.

Right now, her heart was filled with curiosity about the person on the other end of the phone.

"You are due for the College Entrance Examination this year. Study hard, and remember, do not go abroad."

The person on the other side dropped this cryptic remark and hung up the phone.

Furthermore, perhaps due to the signal, it was impossible to see the phone number that had called.

Telling her not to go abroad?

Jiang Zhi thought of her mother abroad; her mother had indeed called before to say that after the College Entrance Examination, she would take her on a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

This matter was truly bizarre.

Just as Jiang Zhi was lost in thought, Wu Shen knocked on her door again.

"Miss Jiang Zhi, your classmate refuses to leave; she insists on seeing you."

Jiang Zhi frowned deeply.

Which classmate would come so late?

She closed her room door properly, followed Wu Shen downstairs, and then saw Shen Yuan.

Her face was pale and her appearance haggard; she had become like this after not seeing her for more than two months.

Besides, wasn't she crazy?

Why come to find her?

Jiang Zhi felt a bit afraid, clutching Wu Shen and refusing to let go, standing more than two meters away from Shen Yuan, "You, what do you want by coming to see me?"

"Why are you standing so far away?"

Shen Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude, as if she were some kind of contagious virus.

"It's nothing, it's just too late, I should be sleeping."

Shen Yuan sat on the sofa, "I plan to go back to school tomorrow, I want to borrow your notes to look at."

"Then wait, I'll go get them for you."

Jiang Zhi trotted back to her room, took a stack of notebooks, and handed them to Shen Yuan.

Not long after Shen Yuan left, the sound of an engine starting came from the courtyard.

Jiang Zhi trotted downstairs and sure enough, saw that her eldest uncle and aunt had returned.

She ran up to them excitedly and saw Si Rong holding something as she got out of the car.

Only when she got closer did she see clearly that it was actually a small black cat.

Its large, round eyes were curiously surveying the unfamiliar surroundings.

Soon, the whole family came out.

"Rongrong is back!"

"Mom, we brought back a small black cat."

Jiang's mother teased the kitten a bit, then lifted the small black cat's tail, "Oh! It has bells, it's a little male cat."

She understood Si Rong; when a woman reaches a certain age, her maternal instincts overflow, and if she can't have children, raising a little cat for company is also good.

"Carry it inside and have Wu Shen find something to feed it!"

Just as Si Rong carried the small black cat into the main hall, she saw Grandma also come out.

Wearing a coat, she looked critically at her and the small black cat in her arms.

"What's the use of holding a cat? The daughter-in-law of Lao Liu's family in the courtyard just gave birth to a big, fat boy! That kind of woman is what you call capable!"

"Nainai, why aren't you asleep so late?"

Jiang Zhi disliked this Nainai and took the kitten into her own arms.

"The Nainai from Lao Liu's family went blind precisely because she stayed up late!"

Grandma:...

"You little girl with a different surname, this is no place for you to speak!"

Her youngest son and daughter-in-law were just dim-witted, and they even raised the daughter that her daughter had with some wild man in the house and had the nerve to let her have the Jiang surname; it was truly shameful!

"Nainai! Jiang Zhi has the Jiang surname and is not an outsider. The child is concerned about you; if you can't understand a kind word, I think you aren't far from senile dementia."

Jiang Cheng held Si Rong with one hand and Jiang Zhi with the other as he went upstairs, the small black cat meowing as it followed them.

Grandma:...

What kind of rotten grandson was this? He actually dared to curse her with senile dementia!

"We are moving to a new home tomorrow," Jiang Cheng instructed Jiang Zhi at the stairwell, "Pack your things, we are going together."

"Okay, Uncle."

Jiang Zhi's mouth curled up happily; she wanted to move to a new home with her uncle and aunt.

As long as Nainai lived here, she would say many nasty things whenever she saw her.

She did not like to hear it.

Seeing that her uncle was about to pull her aunt back to their room, she hurriedly said, "Aunt! Come to my room for a moment! I have something I want to tell you!"

Si Rong understood, "Xiao Bai, you go back to the room with Dad first."

Jiang Cheng had originally refused this form of address at the beginning.

He did not want to be a dad to an ugly little black cat.

But since Si Rong called herself the little ugly cat's mother, he had no choice but to reluctantly be the little ugly cat's dad.

Pulling Si Rong into her room, Jiang Zhi closed the door.

To save her uncle from eavesdropping.

"Aunt, the phone rang last night, and the person on the other end was looking for you; I said you had gone on a trip."

Si Rong had not expected that the call really had come when she was not home, "Alright, did they say anything else?"

"They also said, don't let me go abroad."

When Jiang Zhi said this, she stared at Si Rong without blinking.

Observing her subtle expressions.

Si Rong was also somewhat puzzled; the future version of herself was not letting Jiang Zhi go abroad?

Could it be that in that space-time twenty years later, she and Jiang Zhi also had a close connection?

But the warnings from the future were always correct.

Based on her experience, not letting Jiang Zhi go abroad was definitely for her own good.

"Then we won't go abroad."

Si Rong patted the back of her hand.

"Aunt, can you tell me who the person who called you is?"

Jiang Zhi was truly too curious, "Her voice is so like mine, it sounds exactly the same."

The same as Jiang Zhi's voice?

Si Rong did not know why she recalled the woman who called her future self godmother in the last phone call; could it be that in the twenty years later of another space-time, Jiang Zhi was her goddaughter?

So was it the future Jiang Zhi who called last night?

She did not want Jiang Zhi to know too much about these profound and mysterious matters.

The fewer people who know, the better.

"That person is a friend of your aunt's; when the time is right, your aunt will tell you, okay?" Si Rong said in a consultative tone.

"Okay."

Jiang Zhi nodded obediently.

She listened to her uncle, and she would also listen to her aunt.

Actually, thinking about it, there was nothing to be curious about; perhaps it was just a coincidence that a friend of her aunt's happened to have a voice very similar to hers.

Si Rong picked up the phone to leave, and heard Jiang Zhi say again, "Aunt, Shen Yuan came to see me last night to borrow study notes; she is going back to school."

"Mm."

Si Rong was indifferent; she did not care about the affairs of irrelevant people.

Returning to the room and placing the phone on the bedside table, Jiang Cheng had already finished showering in his usual swift and decisive manner and was currently wiping his short hair with a towel.

She knew that the short hair was very stiff and prickly.

During intimacy, her hands had passed through that thicket of black hair countless times.

The man was bare-chested, his robust abdominal muscles gleaming with a healthy, wheat-colored luster under the incandescent light.

"Mrs. Jiang, hurry and go wash up!" Jiang Cheng urged.

After Si Rong entered the bathroom, the man's gaze fell upon the phone.

His Mrs. Jiang seemed to be paying extra attention to this phone.
