Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Follow Wherever You Go

“Really? How come it feels so improbable? You’re not fooling me, are you?” Jian Dan spoke with a face full of suspicion.

“Really! Why would I lie to you? There’s no benefit for me in doing that, right? Haha~” Xi Rui shifted her gaze elsewhere. “Ah! I need to go back to my room to rest, I can barely keep my eyes open.” Saying this, she had already fled upstairs.

Jian Dan noticed the evasive look in Xi Rui’s eyes and knew that Xi Rui must be hiding something, but it seemed like Xi Rui didn’t want her to know about it.

Although Jian Dan was extremely curious, she wasn’t the type to relentlessly dig for answers, so she didn’t probe any further.

“Xue’er, you should head back to your room to rest too! You’ve been busy all day and must be tired; tomorrow we continue!”

“Okay!” Jiang Xue’er then returned to her room.

After Xi Rui went upstairs, Jian Dan stopped thinking about Xi Rui’s earlier behavior, but Jiang Xue’er kept thinking about it.

Because the timing of Xi Rui’s appearance was too coincidental; just after she had sent Zi Yan away, Xi Rui arrived, which inevitably made her suspicious of Xi Rui’s sudden arrival.

Xi Rui took out a cell phone from a compartment in her suitcase, turned it on, and sent out a text briefly explaining the situation with Xi Rui.

After about fifteen minutes, the phone screen lit up, and upon opening, it displayed just four words: “Act according to circumstances!”

Jiang Xue’er narrowed her eyes as she looked at these words…

The next day, Jian Dan and Jiang Xue’er had to go to the store, so they woke up early. When they went to the restaurant for breakfast, they were surprised to see that Xi Rui was already eating.

“Xi Rui, did the Sun Stone rise from the west today? You’re up so early?”

Jian Dan said with a face full of surprise.

“I am… I couldn’t sleep because I had a fight with my husband!

Isn’t that the case with you?” Xi Rui had no choice but to use Shang Simiao as an excuse again.

She felt very troubled inside because it was Zi Yan who had called her early in the morning to wake her up.

“I really didn’t know, because Uncle and I have never fought!” Jian Dan looked at Xi Rui with a provoking expression.

Xi Rui, seeing Jian Dan’s expression, really wanted to say they hadn’t either, but she could only suppress such impulses and chuckled bitterly, thinking: once this matter is over, she must properly compensate her.

After Jian Dan and Jiang Xue’er finished breakfast, they prepared to head out.

“Where are you two going?” Xi Rui asked knowingly.

“To Xue’er’s store!”

“I’ll go too!”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean ‘huh’? It’s so boring for me to stay at home alone, I want to go too!”

“Oh! Then come along!”

The three of them set off together. Originally, Xue’er was going to sit in the front passenger seat, but Xi Rui beat her to it.

Jiang Xue’er paused for a moment, then continued to feign a demure demeanor, “Sister, you sit in front. I’ll sit in the back just fine!”

Because Xue’er’s craftsmanship was really good, despite it being only the second day of opening, they had already gained many repeat customers, so they were busy all morning almost without a break.

What Jian Dan found strange was that wherever she went and whatever she did, Xi Rui followed right along, almost like her shadow.

“Xi Rui, why do you keep following me?”

“What, you have a problem? It’s your fortune that Miss is following you, and you dare to complain?”

“I’m not complaining, just…”

“That’s all then, no just!”

Jiang Xue’er watched all this, without showing any outward reaction, but she already understood everything…
