Chapter 8 - Gossip Queen (8) (2/2)

Once she’d hung up the phone, Ming Shu’s eyes started to gleam. According to the Host’s memory, the Jiang family’s chef was very good at cooking delicious meals.

[Guest, there’s an additional task for you to complete.] Without warning, the Harmony System issued this notice.

Ming Shu was in a good mood. “What is it?”

[Eliminate Jiang Xun’s feelings for Ning Keqing.]

Jiang Xun?

After delving into the Host’s memories, Ming Shu remembered that Jiang Xun seemed to be the Host’s cheap brother. He was called the cheap brother because he was adopted by the Jiang family.

Before the Host was born, when her parents were on a trip by the sea, they met the abandoned Jiang Xun. Mother Jiang insisted on adopting him, so Jiang Xun became the Host’s cheap brother.

The Host had never liked this brother of hers. Later, when her relationship with her family stiffened, she saw even less of him than originally.

In the story… It seemed Jiang Xun would really fall in love with Ning Keqing.

He appeared as a supporting role many times, but would meet a miserable end.

No problem! I have everything under control.

…

Ming Shu traveled to the villa where the Jiang family lived, according to her memories. It wasn’t a top-grade community, but it boasted an excellent environment. The Host loved this place the most—and that was why the Jiang family hadn’t moved for all these years.

It showed that the Host was doted on by her family. It was only because the Host remained true to herself when the family didn’t support her, as well as her being young and aggressive, that things had devolved so thoroughly.

Ming Shu parked her car outside the villa. She got out and rang the doorbell.

The gate was opened immediately after the bell rang. There was a tall figure standing in the shadow of the gate. It was a man with a handsome yet icy appearance whose eyes watched Ming Shu dully.

A straight suit with the neckband widened to a larger size, white collarbone exposed to the air—a totally abstinent style.

This man was the Host’s brother, Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun opened the gate and stood aside, uttering not a word.

He also hadn’t seen his younger sister in a while. Usually she would be seen on TV or in the newspaper. She was like a shining queen, constantly surrounded by a cluster of subjects.

Now, seeing her in person, Jiang Xun found that she was even prettier than on TV.

Ming Shu’s mouth curved; she entered the house. Jiang Xun reached out for her bag as he closed the gate and said, “Mom and Dad are waiting.”

His voice was very pleasing and clear, like flowing water. It was totally different from his dreary aura.

Jiang Xun was a little surprised that he was able to take Ming Shu’s bag—before, if he dared to touch her things, she would immediately become angry.

Jiang Xun looked up to see Ming Shu walking into the house. Out of nowhere, he thought her figure seemed to be different from before, more vivacious.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were both sitting in the living room. The former was reading a newspaper while the latter stared at him, the atmosphere a little depressed.

The servants’ greetings emerged from the hallway and Mother Jiang stood up swiftly, looking toward the voices.

Ming Shu came in with a sweet smile on her face, gloriously gentle and lovable. Mother Jiang looked like she was about to cry all of a sudden and quickly moved to give Ming Shu a hug. “Niannian, my poor Niannian.”

Every parent loves their children.

Father Jiang put down the newspaper, silently looking at Jiang Nian and Mother Jiang through his glasses. A muted softness spread across his serious face.

Ming Shu was perfectly at ease with Mother Jiang’s big hug. She lightly patted her shoulder and smiled. “Mom, can you cry later? I’m starving, can I have dinner first?”

“…”

Because he heard this, Jiang Xun was wearing a strange expression when he appeared in the doorway.
