Chapter 361: 236 Ginger Candy CP negotiating engagement, someone playing themselves to ruin? (2 updates) _2

"Coo-coo—" Hua Mei cawed excitedly, like a proud victor.

Shen Shuci stood in the corridor, unable to hold back a mixture of laughter and tears. He never seemed too bright, and to think, he was indeed that foolish.

Xie Jing had lunch at the Tang Family’s home. This family, they must hate not locking him up and crippling him, or executing him on the spot, but they were just holding back their rage, creating a particularly eerie atmosphere at the dining table.

It was the transition from spring to winter, and the temperature was warming up. Last year’s dead branches and leaves should have been cleared away by now. Plus, with Jiang Zhenhuan and his wife visiting tomorrow, the Tang Family needed to clean up. Xie Jing didn’t dare act like he was some honored guest, so he volunteered to sweep the yard. That’s the scene Jiang Jinsang came upon when he returned.

"Fifth Master." The look on Xie Jing’s face was more excited than if he’d seen his own father. "You’re finally back. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about..."

He’d rather go out and be the talk of the town than stay at the Tang Family’s.

"What is it?" Jiang Jinsang asked, his expression composed.

"I feel it’s too much trouble for the old folks at the Tang Family to have me here. I should..."

"What, you want to leave?" Tang Lao came out of the house leaning on a cane. "Do you think our Tang Family’s hospitality is lacking?"

"No, I didn’t mean that!" Xie Jing quickly explained.

"Then settle down and stay."

A definitive decision, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"Wanwan..." Old Lady Shen came out of the house, holding Tang Wan’s hand, repeatedly checking to make sure she was truly alright before she could finally relax. She turned to Jiang Jinsang, "Xiaowu, are your parents settled in?"

"Yes, I’ve sent them back to the hotel to rest."

"That’s good."

Everyone went inside, pulling Tang Wan in with them to ask more details, leaving Xie Jing alone in the yard with Hua Mei, staring at each other, human and bird, wide-eyed.

Mei chirped and squawked, making Xie Jing’s
