Chapter 2, First Encounter 2

The turbulence on the aircraft lessened quickly. A calm and powerful male voice spread through every corner of the cabin via the speaker.

"Dear passengers, the plane has safely passed through the airflow and is about to land, please don't worry..."

His voice...

Jian Xi still stood in the aisle, looking at the closed cockpit door, lost in thought.

"Miss, please take your seat, thank you for your cooperation," the beautiful flight attendant said to Jian Xi with gentle trepidation.

Jian Xi withdrew her gaze and sat back down in her seat.

The plane hadn't just passed through turbulence, it actually had a real malfunction, but he fixed it!

Her fiancé really was something!

Jian Xi rarely took an interest in a man, but now she did.

A few minutes later, the plane landed safely!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, eager to disembark under the guidance of the flight attendants.

Jian Xi, carrying her small carry-on, took a deep look at the cockpit before deplaning.

——————

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi!"

She had just left the terminal when a middle-aged and attractive woman enthusiastically rushed over and hugged Jian Xi, crying her heart out. This was Jian Xi's stepmother, Song Jia.

"Xiao Xi, you're finally back! Mommy missed you so much..."

"Sorry, I'm not your daughter, your daughter is over there," Jian Xi said indifferently, pushing Song Jia away and pointing at the girl beside her—Qiao Jiaying.

Qiao Jiaying was about the same age as Jian Xi, both high school seniors, and at this moment, she was looking at Jian Xi with a smile brimming her face.

With bright, expressive eyes and an air of grace, she wore a pink Chanel summer dress, making her appear like a budding pink rose.

Compared to Jian Xi's white shirt and jeans, her attire was indeed much more fashionable.

Immediately, the plainly natural Jian Xi looked like a country bumpkin, and a dusty one at that!

Jian Xi smiled coldly: Before her mother's accident, her father had already kept a mistress, even having a child almost her age. She really didn't understand how her mother, a powerful businesswoman, had allowed such a thing to happen!

However, she might never have an answer. Because her mother, Madam Jian Wan, had been in a vegetative state for nearly ten years.

Under a wrecked nest, can there be any whole eggs?

Jian Corporation was entirely controlled by her father, Qiao Yonghui, with Madam Song and her daughter moving up the ranks. Now, the whole of Jiangcheng only knew of Jian Corporation's second young miss, Qiao Jiaying, but not of her, Jian Xi.

Song Jia froze in embarrassment; it was time to save face!

She looked toward her daughter.

Qiao Jiaying, holding a bouquet of flowers, smiled extremely sweetly: "Sister, welcome home!"

Jian Xi expressionlessly took the flowers, walked a few steps to the side, and thrust the bouquet into a trash bin.

This...

Everyone was stunned, and even some bystanders watched.

Airport flowers were quite expensive, after all! To think they were thrown into a trash bin!

"My mother is still lying in the hospital, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be too affectionate with my stepmother and illegitimate younger sister," Jian Xi said before pulling her carry-on and striding off.

The onlookers listened and their expressions became suggestive.

A car was already waiting outside; the driver respectfully made a welcoming gesture: "Young Miss, this way please..."

Jian Xi didn't even lift her eyelids and got in the car to leave.

Hatred flickered in Song Jia's eyes, Qiao Jiaying immediately took her hand, speaking in a sweet and melodious voice: "Mom, sister has had a temper for not a day or two; don't take it to heart."

"Ah! I'm not taking it to heart, I'm just worried about the child!" Song Jia pretended to wipe her eyes, "Before becoming a vegetative, your elder sister was her biggest concern, but this child hasn't returned for ten years, and when she does come back... ah!"

When the onlookers heard this, they immediately forgave Song Jia.

So, it turned out she was a spoiled young mistress!

Just then, several aviation company executives, escorting Nan Mufeng, came out from the staff passage.

"Young Master Nan, we really owe you thanks today! If it weren't for your timely intervention, the people on board might have been in danger..."

"Young Master Nan is truly an exceptional man. Your piloting was amazing..."

Qiao Jiaying's eyes lit up: "Brother Mufeng!"
