Chapter 417: Jiang Yongkang Is Here

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong and Tong Shuitao looked up at the same time. “Who is it?”

Aunt Ke pouted to the side. Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Shen Sitian.

Shen Sitian was also stunned. She pointed at her nose. “Me? How is that possible?”

“Why not? Isn’t saving a damsel in distress usually for the sake of the beauty? Think about it, didn’t he help you the last time by the river? He was also the one who pointed you in the right direction when you went to town to sell embroidery. He even accompanied you all the way to finish everything.”

Aunt Ke spoke with great experience.

Shen Sitian still found it unbelievable. “But Auntie and Shuitao were with me yesterday. Why couldn’t he have taken a fancy to them?”

“Shuitao is just a little girl who hasn’t grown up yet. She’s still heartless and slow when it comes to relationships.” What Aunt Ke did not say was that she was now a servant. Even if Jiang Youkang had taken a fancy to her, he should not have made his presence known in front of Gu Yundong. It was more appropriate to ask Gu Yundong for her.

Tong Shuitao was still a little unconvinced when she heard this. What did Aunt Ke mean by she hadn’t grown up yet? She was even a year older than Miss.

However, on second thought, it was better for her not to grow up if Jiang Yongkang might take a fancy to her.

Aunt Ke continued, “As for your aunt, let’s not talk about anything else. She’s a married woman with children. Now, she’s even more ignorant about relationships. Even if the hero who saves her in distress accidentally dies in front of her, she probably still doesn’t understand what he wants to do.”

What he said… made a lot of sense.

However, Shen Sitian still felt that it was unlikely. “But he already has a grandson. He’s a generation older than me.”

For some reason, Shen Sitian felt a chill.

Aunt Ke snorted coldly. “It’s precisely because he’s old and feels that there’s not much hope that he used such a method.”

She looked so confident that everyone actually thought that was the case.

However, Shen Sitian wanted to cry. She had no feelings for Jiang Yongkang at all.

“I still don’t believe it. Why don’t we go and ask?”

“How?” Aunt Ke asked.

Tong Shuitao was eager to give it a try. “Let’s fight it out. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just yesterday, he colluded with a few hooligans to rob us. That’s enough for us to come knocking on his door to reason with him.”

Her mother, Madam Jiang, couldn’t help but reprimand her. “Don’t mess around. Why are you shouting about beating and killing all day long now? You have to have a reason to come knocking on his door. You’ve let those hooligans go. What if he doesn’t admit it?”

“I…” Tong Shuitao was a little depressed.

Madam Jiang glared at her again. “Miss hasn’t even said anything.”

Only then did everyone realize that Gu Yundong had been silent. Shao Qingyuan could not help but ask her, “What are you thinking about?”

Gu Yundong pursed her lips. She was thinking about Aunt Ke’s words.

Actually, she had already found it strange when she saw Jiang Yongkang previously. According to Aunt Ke, before they returned to Yongfu Village, she had only seen Jiang Yongkang twice in more than a month.

However, they had only been back for a few days, but they bumped into him every other day. This was too frequent.

Especially since the Gu family was at the foot of the mountain, and they had little contact with the other locals in the village.

Moreover, he was very warm-hearted, and this warm-heartedness would not make people feel uncomfortable.

It would make sense if he had taken a fancy to Shen Sitian.

A thought suddenly flashed across Gu Yundong’s mind, but it was too fast for her to grasp it.

Just as she was about to think about it, Ah Mao ran in and said to everyone, “Jiang Yongkang is here. He’s just outside the door.. Miss, should we let him in?”
