Chapter 156

Someone by the roadside asked softly, "Is that Mi Xiang 'er?"

Jiang Yumei turned around and spoke first, "Oh my, Tingting, why are you here?"

Upon closer inspection, she was carrying a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right. In the bag on her shoulder, she could vaguely see celery leaves, cabbage, and a long ribbonfish.

Jiang Tingting straightened her neck and walked with her legs splayed out. She was wearing a specially chosen black dress with a small red belt, high heels, and a golden necklace. She looked like she was going to a ball, but when paired with the "equipment" she was buying in the market, she looked extremely comical.

She ignored Jiang Yumei and arrogantly ran towards Mi Xiang 'er without even nodding. She put on a warm smile on her face, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. "Mi Xiang' er, you're already here. Why are you going out?"

Already here?

It seemed like she had already received the news …

To be honest …

Mi Xiang 'er really did not like her. Although the two of them had only met a few times, Mi Xiang' er always felt that Jiang Tingting was fake and that there was a hidden dagger in her smile.

She reluctantly gave a perfunctory reply. "Ah … I'm going to buy something …"

"Buy what?" Jiang Tingting was unusually thoughtful. "Are you going to buy something for Third Brother? I'll go …"

Mi Xiang 'er waved her hand. "I'm going to buy something for myself …"

"Oh …" Jiang Tingting immediately lost interest. "Then you go. You can also recognize the door of the military service club at the same time …"

Mi Xiang 'er replied with a "Mm" and turned to leave.

Jiang Tingting added, "Oh right, Mi Xiang 'er, don't buy the groceries … I've already prepared it! The moment I heard that you and Third Brother were coming back, I immediately applied for leave from work and came back to cook dinner for you guys!"

Ah!

She specially came back to cook dinner!

Mi Xiang 'er muttered in her heart. Who was she targeting? This person did not have such a close relationship with her! She must be targeting Yun Jingting!

She did not think much about it. There was nothing wrong with Jiang Tingting targeting Tiger Yun. After all, according to their parents, the two of them were still "related" …

She said politely, "Look at you … I was going to buy groceries …"

At the mention of buying groceries …

Jiang Tingting straightened her back even more. "I've already bought the groceries. Third Brother and I grew up together. We have similar personalities and we have a good relationship. I know his taste the best. When we go back later, I'll personally cook a few of his favorite dishes!"

As she spoke, she lifted the bag with difficulty.

When Jiang Yumei saw this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand. "Tingting, you bought so many groceries for me! I'll help you carry them!"

Jiang Tingting immediately took half a step back and frowned in disgust. "Why? I can do it myself!"

Jiang Yumei retracted her hand in embarrassment. "I just wanted to help. I think these things are too heavy …"

"I don't think they're heavy! I bought them, so of course I'll carry them myself. There's no need for others to worry!"

When Mi Xianger saw her expression, she thought that she was a little 'neurotic'.

Wasn't it obvious?

It was fine if she didn't appreciate the help from the nanny, but why did she have to put on such an arrogant and serious expression? It was as if buying and carrying groceries was a major event in her life and no one else could interfere with it!

Mi Xianger couldn't be bothered with her and walked away. A small Toyota Corolla was driving towards them. The driver honked twice and slowly stopped the car in front of them.

The car window wound down and a young girl's face appeared in the driver's seat. "Hey, Tingting, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Tingting walked over slowly. "Liu Hongxia, where did you borrow this car from?"

While the two of them were talking, Jiang Yumei hurriedly lowered her voice and explained to Mi Xianger, "See? This Liu Hongxia is Deputy Commander Liu's daughter. She's 23 this year and sings in the Wen Gong Troupe. She's pretty and talented. She's the flower of our military compound …"

Liu Hongxia was obviously very familiar with Jiang Tingting. She looked at the bags of groceries on Jiang Tingting's shoulders and almost laughed. "Tingting, look at your petite body. You're as delicate as a swan, yet you're carrying so many groceries on your back. What are you doing?"

She casually pointed at Jiang Yumei. "Why don't you use a nanny?"

She glanced at Mi Xianger and was immediately a little stunned. She saw that the other party was dressed simply and had her hair tied up in two braids. There was nothing fashionable about her, but her eyes were clear and dark. Her features were small and exquisite, and her temperament was different from that of an ordinary girl. She was confident and calm, making it difficult for others to guess her identity.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Tingting, who is this? Uncle Yun's new nanny doesn't look like one …"

New nanny?

When Jiang Tingting heard this, she laughed gloatingly. "Hongxia, don't talk nonsense …"

But she didn't explain, nor did she give Mi Xianger a formal introduction.

When Liu Hongxia saw her expression, she felt that something was wrong. She knew that Jiang Tingting had always been eccentric. Since she didn't explain, she wouldn't say anything even if she asked.

She turned to Jiang Yumei. They were all from the same military compound, so of course they knew each other. "Auntie Jiang, who is this?"

Of course, Jiang Yumei answered honestly. She purposely slapped her forehead. "Ah, look at me! Am I muddle-headed? I forgot to introduce you! This is our Commander Yun's lover. Her surname is Mi!"

"Commander Yun!" Liu Hongxia rolled her eyes and immediately understood. "Are you saying that Third Brother Yun's lover is married?"

Immediately, he sized up Mi Xiang 'er from head to toe and quickly reevaluated her.

Although Liu Hongxia could be considered a "little flower" in the military compound, Yun Jingting was a "famous weed" in the compound. Not only was he a promising seedling, but he also had a lot of meritorious service. Now that she suddenly heard that Tiger Yun was married, she naturally saw Mi Xianger, this "upstart", in a new light.

She hurriedly opened the car door and enthusiastically introduced herself. "My surname is Liu … Liu Hongxia!"

She didn't wait for Mi Xianger to open her mouth and asked impatiently, "When did you and Third Brother get married? Why didn't I hear about it?"

Mi Xianger smiled faintly and didn't say anything. She didn't intend to explain her situation to anyone else.

When Liu Hongxia saw her attitude, which was neither servile nor overbearing, she was even more amazed by this new wife of Tiger Yun. She was obviously dressed like a "village girl", but her mannerisms and mannerisms were like a "rich missy" who had seen the world.

She seemed to be trying to curry favor. "Since you are Third Brother's lover, then I should call you Third Sister-in-law!"

Third Sister-in-law!

Jiang Tingting's face was as black as a wok. It was indescribably ugly.

But she couldn't say anything. After all, this was the truth.

She really hated it!

She wished that a huge meteorite would fall from the sky and completely destroy Mi Xianger from this earth. Only then would she be satisfied.

Liu Hongxia was usually proud and arrogant. At this moment, when she saw Mi Xianger, she was exceptionally amiable and approachable. "I see that you are not too old. Eighteen …"

She was really curious. One was a ferocious' big tiger ', and the other was a soft' little rabbit '. How could these two become a couple and sleep in the same bed?

She clicked her tongue. "Oh, you are really young! You are eight or nine years younger than Third Brother, right?"

Mi Xianger didn't answer.

There was no need!

Liu Hongxia saw that she had a natural arrogance in her demeanor. She looked easygoing, but she was not easy to get close to. She could only turn to Jiang Tingting. "Tingting, I haven't seen Third Brother for a long time! Tomorrow is my birthday. My friends have organized a small gathering. There are no outsiders. They are all childhood friends. Help me ask Third Brother if he is willing to do me the honor and bring Third Sister-in-law along!"

She hurriedly added, "Oh, you can come along if you're free!"

Ah!



When Jiang Tingting heard this, she panicked. She felt as though she was just an 'accompanying guest'.

Liu Hongxia smiled sincerely at Mi Xianger. "Come on, Third Sister-in-law. It's good to make more friends. I'll wait for you!"

She turned around and got into the car. She started the engine and sped away.

Mi Xianger couldn't be bothered to talk to Jiang Tingting. She brought Jiang Yumei to the military service department.

Jiang Tingting looked at her exquisite back, and her expression changed. She frowned and had a bad idea. Carrying the chickens and ducks, she quickly returned to Commander Yun's home.

The moment she entered, she saw that the living room was quiet. She quickly grabbed an orderly and asked, "Little Five, is Third Brother back? Which room is he staying in?"

The orderly knew her, so there was nothing to hide. "Ah, Commander Yun is back. He's staying in the guest room on the first floor!"

Jiang Tingting hummed in acknowledgment. She raised her hand and tidied her hair. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and walked quickly to the guest room.
