The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 159

Weiwei, where did you find this ancient jade?" Jiang Tairan asked.

"Actually, it was a coincidence. That day I was in a jade store, looking for a nice piece of jade as a birthday gift for my mom. The store owner brought out this jade stone, saying it was just acquired from a young man. It felt warm in my hand, and I thought it must be a good piece, so I bought it."

Jiang Weiwei thought, Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng stared at the photo of the ancient jade for a long time, but they didn’t remember Jiang Moxi wearing it, and they probably couldn’t link the jade in her hand to Jiang Moxi, so she made up this lie.

As expected, upon hearing this, Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng’s way of looking at her, Jiang Weiwei, changed.

Xiao Qingyun also looked incredulous: "This jade is in your possession? Then why didn’t you say so just now?"

"I wasn’t sure if the pattern was exactly the same, so I didn’t dare to say it straight away. Isn’t this what you taught me, auntie?"

Jiang Weiwei smiled innocently, yet it choked Xiao Qingyun.

Yu Man was delighted, looking at Jiang Weiwei with great fondness: "Look at this child, running out in sweat in the dead of winter to prove herself."

While speaking, she also brought over some tissues to gently wipe the sweat from Jiang Weiwei’s forehead.

Jiang Guosheng then said, "Weiwei has been running around so much, she hasn’t even had a chance to eat dumplings yet!"

Jiang Tairan came to his senses and quickly asked Aunt Yao to prepare a special portion of dumplings for Jiang Weiwei, adding: "Today we must properly reward our family’s great hero."

With Jiang Tairan’s words, the way others looked at Jiang Weiwei changed again, as if the development rights for the land beside the moat had already been personally handed over to them by Jiang Weiwei.

Later, even Xiao Qingyun busied herself brewing scented tea for Jiang Weiwei, and Zhao Guangmei personally cooked Weiwei’s favorite osmanthus cake.

Ah, Jiang Weiwei really enjoyed being treated like a deity by everyone, her smile especially radiant.

Only Li Tinglu, looking at the ancient jade in Jiang Tairan’s hand, felt that something was not quite right...

On the other side, after Jiang Moxi and Feng Ming finished their dumplings, they went to the Ling Family to tutor Ling Hua.

Ling Hua, listening to Jiang Moxi’s explanations, couldn’t help but get distracted, as Jiang Moxi occasionally coughed.

"Sister Moxi, haven’t you recovered from your cold yet?"

Jiang Moxi had a cold recently and had taken several days off.

It was not easy for her to come and tutor today, and she looked very pale and was still coughing frequently.

"It’s much better, but the cough hasn’t gone away yet."

A doctor doesn’t heal themselves, so Jiang Moxi hadn’t prescribed any medicine for herself.

"Why don’t you go back and rest properly, and come over when your cough is better?"

Ling Hua saw Jiang Moxi’s face noticeably thinner and also felt distressed.

"I don’t have much more time to teach you, cherish it."

Jiang Moxi’s words stunned Ling Hua: "Sister Moxi, you don’t have some incurable disease, do you?"

The next second, Ling Hua received a flick on her forehead.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Moxi chided.

"Your complexion is so poor, and you said you don’t have much time left to teach. It’s hard for me not to think this way, isn’t it?" Ling Hua whined, holding her head.

"I just want to resign," Jiang Moxi said.

Now that Feng Ming had awakened, she didn’t need to hide her identity as much.

Just yesterday, she had contacted Yunshang headquarters, and they immediately transferred a sum of money.

Now Feng Ming’s basic medical expenses had been cleared, and there were still several hundred thousand left in the medical account.

So, she didn’t have such an urgent need to earn money.

However, hearing of her resignation, Ling Hua immediately became anxious.

"Sister Moxi, don’t go. I can’t absorb what others teach except for your lessons."

"Actually, if you continue to self-study using the theory I taught you, getting into a good university shouldn’t be a problem," Jiang Moxi said.

"But I don’t want to let you go, Sister Moxi."

After spending some time together, Ling Hua really started to like Jiang Moxi.

That feeling of both a teacher and a friend, she feared she could never experience it from anyone else in the future.

"When you get into college, I’m going to resign as well."

Jiang Moxi persuaded Ling Hua and even promised that even if she no longer worked as a tutor, Ling Hua could still reach out to her for fun.

Even so, Ling Hua’s sadness lasted until the evening.

After tutoring ended, Ling Hua pleaded with her to stay for dinner.

Jiang Moxi had just agreed when Fu Youhan arrived.

"Huahua, grandma made dumplings and asked me to bring them over. Are your brother and mom not home?"

Fu Youhan was wheeled into the house by Chi Jing, and he noticed Jiang Moxi was also there.

It had been a week since their last encounter at Night Color.

Seeing Jiang Moxi again, Fu Youhan could still feel his heart inexplicably agitated.

He had confined himself to work these past few days, and the times he thought of Jiang Moxi had significantly decreased, which somewhat eased the pain she caused him.

Fu Youhan felt this was a good sign, and he even thought that with a little more persistence, he could completely remove this woman from his heart.

But the moment he saw Jiang Moxi, all those edges he thought had vanished resurfaced.

He tried to shift his gaze away from Jiang Moxi, but found he couldn’t.

Even upon seeing her obviously thinner appearance, he thought:

Was it because he hadn’t arranged breakfast for her recently, causing her to lose weight from hunger?

Or was it that Si Lin or that guy in the hospital hadn’t taken good care of her?

But realizing what he was thinking, Fu Youhan became even more irritated.

Jiang Moxi had cheated on him, more than once, turning his mind into a vast empty field suitable for a horse race, and he still cared about her well-being!

But Fu Youhan’s irritation was unknown to Ling Hua, who sincerely answered his questions: "My brother went to play basketball and has a dinner gathering tonight. My mom had a project issue and had to fly abroad to handle it."

While others were gathering on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Ling Hua became a "left-behind" child.

However, she had gotten used to this life, so when Chi Jing handed her the dumplings, she was still thrilled.

"Having dumplings is great, I was planning to make noodles with Sister Moxi. Why don’t you stay and have dumplings with us, Uncle?"

Fu Youhan wanted to refuse, but looking at Jiang Moxi, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

However, the words he couldn’t utter were spoken by Jiang Moxi.

"Ling Hua, you have company for dinner. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first."

With that, Jiang Moxi turned and left.

Ling Hua followed and entreated her for a long while, but couldn’t change her mind.

Watching the decisive figure of the woman riding away on her motorcycle, Fu Youhan felt the fire in his heart burning intensely.

This ruthless woman, from the moment she entered to now, she only glanced at him once, just once!

The person in the wrong was clearly her!

But her cold and determined demeanor made Fu Youhan feel like everything was his fault!

Regardless of how upset he felt inside, Fu Youhan still stayed to keep the poor "left-behind" child Ling Hua company and eat dumplings.

But today, Ling Hua’s mood was especially low, and she hardly ate a few dumplings.

"What’s wrong? Don’t you like grandma’s dumplings?" Fu Youhan asked Ling Hua.

"It’s not that, grandma’s dumplings are as delicious as ever. I’m just upset because Sister Moxi is resigning." Ling Hua said.

But these words also caused Fu Youhan’s eyes to narrow slightly: "She’s resigning? Why?"
