Not Even The Village's Gossipmonger is Like You

The others also did not want to go back and eat a table full of cold dishes.

"I'm the one who let everyone down," Yuexi apologized again, "All of you were trying to help me, but in the end, you were insulted by Jiang Xun. I don't think anyone's in the mood to hang out anymore today. I'll be the host some other day, so let's get together again."

Yuexi's expression turned gloomy. "Jiang Xun made us unhappy today, so I won't let her go! I'll go back and let my dad know that she left with two men. No matter what, I'll make sure her private life isn't private anymore!"

"You're not to blame for what happened this time. We'll put it all on Jiang Xun's head," the boy wearing a name tag said with a sullen face.

The others nodded in agreement.

Yuexi finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The five of them then dispersed and she hurried home.

At this moment, Qin Mufeng's car had already stopped at the entrance of the Jiang family's villa.

This time, Jiang Xun remembered to unbuckle his seatbelt before alighting from the car.

She stood outside the car door and scratched her head in embarrassment. "Thank you so much. I've only met you twice, but I've had to trouble you to send me off."

Mufeng smiled faintly. "It's nothing. I'm going back now."

Jiang Xun nodded. When Mufeng saw her enter the courtyard, he told the driver, "Let's go."

When Jiang Xun entered the door, Jiang Chengye and Nianzhen saw that she was the only one who came back, but they didn't see Yuexi with her.

"Where's your sister?" Chengye asked with a frown. "Why didn't she come back with you?"

"I came back first." Jiang Xun pouted. "Why would I stay there and be ridiculed as a country bumpkin?"

After saying that, she ignored them and went straight upstairs to her bedroom, thoroughly famished.

Nianzhen hurriedly said to Chengye, "Yuexi will definitely not let her friends say that about Jiang Xun. I don't know what exactly happened. With Yuexi's personality, she will definitely stand on Jiang Xun's side and help her. "If her friend really said that, Yuexi would also feel bad."

At the mention of Yuexi, Chengye's expression was gentle. "I know. How could I not know our daughter? It's not like Yuexi could control what other people say."

Jiang Xun didn't care what the two of them were talking about, however. Back in her room, she fished out two boxes of spicy beef instant noodles from under her bed, one box of fish-flavored eggplant noodles, and one box of turkey-flavored noodles. She also took out three self-heating small hotpot boxes and carried all of them downstairs to the kitchen, where she boiled the water necessary to cook all of it.

She ate directly at the bar counter in the kitchen and didn't go out.

After waiting for three minutes, she started eating the instant noodles. Once she finished eating that, she started on her hotpot.

Chengye didn't expect her to not only eat a lot of actual food, but also have a ridiculous appetite for junk food. 

She was like a black hole!

While Jiang Xun was eating three boxes of small hotpot at the same time, Yuexi entered the house.

She smelled the thick aroma of hotpot soup, but didn't think much of it. Maybe the family was having hotpot for dinner tonight.

"Dad, Mom." Yuexi changed her shoes in a hurry and went straight to the living room, not bothering to look elsewhere.

"Dad, I…I want to tell you something. Don't be angry." Yuexi sat next to Chengye with worry written all over her face. "Also, promise me that you won't be angry with Jiang Xun. If you have anything to say, talk to her properly."

While Jiang Xun was eating, she realized that it was related to her.

Not even three mini hotpots were enough to sate her!

Jiang Xun moved the small hotpot to the side of the bar, which was near the kitchen door. She pricked up his ears and continued to eat while listening.

Auntie Zhang could only look on in silence.

"What's the matter?" Chengye's face darkened. "What did she do this time?"

"Didn't I take my sister out for dinner today and introduce her to my friend?" Yuexi looked embarrassed, "Before we had dinner, my sister excused herself to go to the toilet and left. My friend and I waited for her for almost an hour, but she didn't come back. After asking the waiter, we found out that she left with two men."

Yuexi was acting as if she'd dropped a bomb. She blushed and looked at Chengye awkwardly, "I don't know how Jiang Xun met the two men. Did she know them before or at the restaurant? But no matter what, she can't go with them..."

"Previously, she was out every day, leaving early and returning late. I don't know what she was doing, but from what happened tonight, I'm worried that she did…something bad outside. She left with someone so happily and skillfully tonight, so it's obviously not her first time," Yuexi said, so anxious that her eyes were reddened around the rims. "She's only 18. How can she...how can she do such indecent things? And two at once, too!"

Nianzhen understood what Yuexi meant, but Jiang Xun had come back long ago!

If Jiang Xun hadn't come back, she would have supported Yuexi's words and would have fanned the flames, but now, she could only hurriedly say, "Yuexi, Jiang Xun, she..."

But Yuexi had suffered so much tonight, and her mind was filled with the need for revenge. She wasn't in the mood to listen to Nianzhen at all, and she even said to Chengye anxiously, "Dad, I don't know where she went with those two men. Let's find her quickly."

"Don't let her do something that will embarrass our family." Yuexi grabbed Chengye's arm anxiously.

Her heart was cold. If Jiang Xun could hit Chengye where it hurt the most, she could do it too!

While Chengye was frowning, Jiang Xun put down her chopsticks and slowly walked out of the kitchen. "I'm here. Where are you going to find me?"

Yuexi was stunned. "You...why are you here?"

Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows and sneered. "If I wasn't here, where would I be?"

"You clearly left with two men. The waiter saw it with his own eyes!" Yuexi said in shock.

"When I was in the restaurant, I ran into a drunkard who tried to take advantage of me as soon as I left the room. There were two other men who happened to be there. They helped me and even called the police for me. When I left, they were about to leave too, so we left the restaurant together. Could it be that they did something indecent?"

Jiang Xun looked at her with disdain. "What kind of feudal thinking is this? Not even the most notorious gossipmonger in my village is as bad as you."

Yuexi was furious when she processed everything. "Then…Since you clearly left early, why did you lie to us? I called you, and you said that you were...that you were constipated!"

"Oh? Then since you called me after I left, why did you act so anxious just now when you couldn't find me?" Jiang Xun asked with a sneer.

"I…When I called you, I didn't know you were already gone!" Yuexi defended herself in a panic. "I only found out after waiting for you for a long time and asking the waiter! If you had told us before you left, I wouldn't have misunderstood you," she cried.
