Chapter 61: Where did the man come from?

This man saw through it again.

Thinking of what he said to dismiss this man last night, Jiang Mian's ears turned slightly red.

"We'll talk about it when we get back! Let's eat first." She said vaguely.

Then he looked at Xiang Long and said, "Sit down and eat together."

Before Xiang Long could refuse, he heard Ji Zhixiu say quickly, “He has eaten outside."

Jiang Mian had no doubt that he was there, "Then forget it."

Xiang Long silently complained: Although he didn't plan to eat at the same table with the CEO, he didn't eat at all, okay? The CEO has had enough.

He said wisely, “The president and the young lady will eat slowly. I will buy some supplies for today's worship first."

Ji Zhixiu, “Go."

Jiang Mian picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth. The next second, she narrowed her eyes, “Well, this is the same restaurant I used to go to! It still tastes the same as before."

"I can't tell, Xiang Long is quite good at buying."

A flash of displeasure flashed in Ji Zhixiu's eyes, damn, he shot himself in the foot.

"Don't praise him." He said coldly.

Jiang Mian is proud and lets you pretend.

She blinked innocently, "What's wrong? You should praise Xiang Long for doing this well."

"It's your duty to do well, what's there to praise?" He had a cold face, but it didn't scare Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian stopped teasing him and gave him a fried dumpling, "Okay, okay, eat it quickly!"

Grandma’s grave is in a cemetery twenty miles away from the town.

This is a good place that Jiang Mian carefully selected for her grandma. She bought a century-old tombstone insurance policy for her grandma in one go. Even if something unexpected happens to her in the future, there will be no shortage of tributes in front of grandma’s tombstone, and someone will come to clean it regularly.

After dinner, Xiang Long drove them there.

Ji Zhixiu grabbed the little girl's hand and whispered, "Grandma doesn't want to see you unhappy."

Jiang Mian raised his head and smiled, "Of course."

She is not that fragile. Grandma's biggest wish is for her to be well. She will not let her down.

Jiang Mian took Ji Zhixiu to the tombstone. The old man in the photo smiled kindly.

Jiang Mian put down the bouquet and fruit basket.

She whispered, "Grandma, my unfilial granddaughter is here to see you."

Ji Zhixiu said in a deep voice, "Grandma, Mianmian and I are here to visit your old man."

"Grandma, this is my husband, Ji Zhixiu." Jiang Mian didn't know how to introduce Ji Zhixiu. The beginning of their marriage could be called casual.

Ji Zhixiu bent down and bowed three times to the tombstone. Jiang Mian was startled.

His sincerity seemed to silently prove to grandma that he would take good care of himself.

"Grandma, don't worry, I won't let Jiang Mian be wronged. I will always be good to her. This is my promise." Ji Zhixiu's voice was deep and full of promises.

The two stayed in Jiangnan for a week.

During this week, Jiang Mian took Ji Zhixiu around the streets and alleys of this ancient town and tasted all kinds of delicious food.

Jiang Mian was actually not a little girl who ate too little, but she couldn't resist the abundance of delicious food here. She bought something and ate a few bites before saving her stomach for the next one.

She was not allowed to waste the rest, so she simply gave it all to Ji Zhixiu. Ji Zhixiu followed her like a "stained water tank", stuffing everything she didn't want to eat into his stomach.

Ji Zhixiu went from being expressionless at the beginning to refusing later, "I really can't eat anymore."

So much so that in the past few days, Ji Zhixiu felt that he must have gained a few pounds. How could he have tried this kind of street food before?

Jiang Mian was having a good time when she was woken up by a phone call from Sister Ning, "My dear, do you still want to work? You have been back home for so long? Come back and work for me."

Jiang Mian pulled the phone away and listened to Sister Ning's roar. She pinched her ears and said, "I'll go back tomorrow and then go to the company to find you."

"That's pretty much it."

Jiang Mian hung up the phone and said to Ji Zhixiu, "Shall we go back tomorrow?"

She didn't stay here for a week just to visit the mountains and rivers. She wanted to wait for someone here, but in the end, he didn't show up.

Sister Ning's call could be regarded as urging her to break her illusion as soon as possible.

Ji Zhixiu knew what she was thinking, so he squeezed the little girl's palm and comforted her, “We can leave a note on the table. She will see it if she comes back."

In fact, he knew that Jiang's mother would not come back. Because he had sent people to stay here for so many years, no one had ever seen anyone looking for Jiang Mian.

"No, it's just that I had a fantasy. How could someone who left suddenly come back?"

She forced a smile.

The little girl's face turned pale, her eyes were lowered, and her disappointment was palpable. Even the small mole at the end of the eye seems to have lost its soul.

Ji Zhixiu sighed in his heart. He raised the little girl's chin and rubbed it carefully, "Shall I find it for you? If you want to see someone alive or dead, how can someone disappear suddenly?"

He knew what he said didn't sound nice, but it was the truth.

Jiang Mian was amused by him, "No, maybe she's living a good life. In fact, I really can't remember what she looks like..."

Jiang Mian frowned, thinking carefully, and suddenly felt a headache. Ji Zhixiu realized something was wrong and quickly held her hand, "Don't think about it."

"It's strange. It seems that every time I think about memories related to her, I always feel a headache..."

Ji Zhixiu's heart sank, "Don't think about it anymore. Didn't you say you'd go back tomorrow? We'll go back tomorrow. See if there's anything else you need to bring here?"

Jiang Mian nodded, "Then I'll get up and look for you."

He successfully changed the subject and watched her leave the room.

Ji Zhixiu dialed a number and said, "I'm Ji Zhixiu. Please help me contact Mr. Yuan."

"Hello, Mr. Ji, I am Mr. Yuan's assistant." She was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Yuan is taking a nap now. As you know, he is old and has this habit..."

"It doesn't matter, then please help me paraphrase my next question."

"Okay, please tell me."

"My wife has been taking the prescription since Mr. Yuan prescribed it last time. Today she said she gets a headache when thinking about old people and events. Is there any way to use this to stimulate her to regain her memory?"

"I have made a note of Mr. Ji. I will call you back when Mr. Yuan wakes up."

After hanging up the phone, he asked Xiang Long to book a plane ticket.

After returning to Kyoto, the first thing Jiang Mian did was to ask Xiang Long to send him to the company.

She knew that Xiang Long hadn't seen Li Laidi for a long time, so she also called Li Laidi.

Jiang Mian went to Sister Ning's office alone. Seeing her coming, Sister Ning turned her head from the office chair and said, "My little ancestor, you are finally back."

"You are very busy at this time. You have to promote Director Wang's drama soon. I will also pick up the script for you later. Anyway, you are still young and you can make more movies for me. I have rejected variety show invitations for you. Isn't it better? These flowers are not arranged before the work." She took a sip of water.

"You will have a commercial event tomorrow night. There will be many producers and directors in the industry attending. I have won a chance for you. You can dress up for me and attend. The location has been sent to your assistant's mobile phone."

Jiang Mian waited patiently for her to finish, and then asked, "Do you have any good scripts? I would like to take on a costume drama."

Sister Ning was very happy for her idea. She turned her pen and thought, "I will pay attention to it for you. You first prepare for tomorrow."

She cleared her throat with some embarrassment, "The company doesn't have money to dress you, and you have Mr. Ji anyway. You should also wear your own dress. What I prepare for you is not as good as the wardrobe Mr. Ji prepares for you."

Jiang Mian, “..."

"Okay, got it." She nodded.

"It's okay, go back." Sister Ning waved her hand.

She walked out and saw Li Laidi and Xiang Long talking together.

Not wanting to spoil the two of them, Jiang Mian frowned slightly, "I'll give you half a day off. Xiang Long remember to send my brother back tonight. I'll take a taxi back myself."

Li Laidi blushed, "Sister..."

Xiang Long said, “No, I want to send you off..."

Jiang Mian interrupted him, "You two should have a nice chat."

She took a taxi back to Xiushui Villa.

Ji Zhixiu went to the company, and she was the only one at home.

After practicing yoga for a while, she turned on a certain live broadcast.

As soon as the broadcast started, people rushed in and gave her a carnival photo. She took a closer look and saw that this was not Zhao Xinxin.

Jiang Mian was helpless, "Xinxin, don't waste your money."

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】

[The two beauties are not connected? 】

[Why did it suddenly start broadcasting today? 】

Jiang Mian knew that Zhao Xinxin was on the set and couldn't connect to the video.

Zhao Xinxin checked out the carnival and left, sending her a message on WeChat.

[Work has started, and Master has escaped. Wait until I return to Kyoto to play with you! 】

Jiang Mian replied: [Okay, I’ll wait for you. 】

Jiang Mian started a live broadcast right now just to pass the time and chat with his fans.

Jiang Mian held the scented tea made by Aunt Song and leaned cross-legged on the soft cushion. She watched the comments passing by. She read the comments: [What has my wife been doing recently? 】

Jiang Mian tilted his head, "I didn't do much. I guest-starred in "Nine Heavens" last month and then came back to rest for a few days."

[Please ask the director and producer to take a look at Jiang Mian! Female Goose’s beauty and acting skills cannot be wasted. 】

[My sister is so cute when she reads the comment]

[Get excited, I want to watch a new drama]

[What is that in your hand? 】

Jiang Mian was dazzled. When she saw someone asking a question, she pointed the tulip teacup in her hand at the camera, "Is this it? The scented tea made by my aunt at home. It's very fragrant..."

As she was talking, a hand with distinct joints that looked like a man suddenly appeared above the camera, and a voice as deep and mellow as old wine exploded above her head, “Help me find a tie."

The comments exploded instantly.

【Who is this? Where did the man come from? 】

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh come on my sister, why is there a man in the house? 】

[The hands should look good. 】

[Is it Song Xingjia? The sound doesn’t sound like it? 】

[It’s over and I feel lovelorn... Is it a staff member? 】

Jiang Mian immediately closed the live broadcast room. She turned around, not knowing when Ji Zhixiu had returned.

Jiang Mian thought to herself that Sister Ning would definitely have to call her again.

Jiang Mian pursed her lips, unhappy, "Ji Zhixiu, did you do it on purpose? Didn't you see me live broadcast?"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention." The man admitted his mistake quickly, which made it difficult for her to blame.

But who is Jiang Mian? She seemed to be about to cry in the next second. She said aggrievedly, "Your tie is all in the closet. How come you don't know where to ask me to help you find it? You just want to make me look embarrassed."

"I didn't mean it." He admitted that he did it on purpose, but he didn't want to embarrass the little girl.

Jiang Mian got up from the soft cushion glumly and muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be picked out."

The main reason is that the secret marriage agreed at the beginning shows that Ji Zhixiu must have some scruples. If this relationship is exposed, it will have a great impact on both of them.

Ji Zhixiu listened to her words with a heavy gaze, "So what if it's made public?"
