Yun Xi hadn’t expected to meet a member of the Jiang family here. This woman was none other than the aunt of Jiang Henglin, the man she’d been arranged to marry.

Grandfather Liang had two sons and one daughter.

His daughter, Jiang Wanyun, married Chen Ziliang, the eldest son of the Chen family, which was also one of the Four Great Clans of Jingdu.

With the support of two of the Great Clans, Jiang Wanyun could be considered to be a woman possessing the most prestigious t.i.tle, aside from the Lady.

The train had pa.s.sed through Muyang from a neighboring precinct, and from their casual clothes, they were probably visiting family or taking a leisurely trip.

She couldn’t help but take a glance at the man sitting beside her. He appeared to be about the same age as Master Mu, so he should be Chen Yichen, the eldest son of the Chens.

In Yun Xi’s previous lifetime, she hadn’t really crossed paths with Chen Yichen. She recalled merely meeting him briefly one time, or they had probably greeted each other at a business banquet hosted by the Jiangs.

At the time, the eldest heir of the Chens had already been a legendary figure in Jingdu and was a favored prodigy of the clan leader.

After Yun Xi’s rebirth, she somehow ended up meeting them sooner than before.

It was still breakfast time, but the noisy children’s yelling made the entire coach especially loud.

Yun Xi took out a steamed bun stolen from home and ripped it up to nibble on, piece by piece.

She saw Jiang Wanyun also take out several multigrain buns for her precious son and considerately pa.s.s a gla.s.s of water over to him. She didn’t put up the airs of a wealthy lady at all.

Yun Xi wasn’t sure if they behaved so down to earth all the time, or they were simply bored of indulging every day. Or perhaps as a mother, Jiang Yan Yun was purposely training her eldest son with life experience.

No matter what, Yun Xi had ebbed and flowed amongst the business world for many years and was accustomed to seeing all sorts of human behavior. She was truly shocked to see this mother and son pair!

They weren’t in the first-cla.s.s coach; they didn’t receive any special treatment, nor did they display any disdain or disgust.

Nearby, she could hear Jiang Wanyun explaining the different grains corresponding to the different colors in the multigrain bun. She a.s.sumed this precious male heir probably didn’t even know how to tell the five different grains apart.

Suddenly, the train began to shudder, and the two children running along the corridor weren’t able to stop in time. In the confusion, they were propelled by momentum and directly crashed into Chen Yichen.

Chen Yichen hadn’t yet swallowed the bun in his mouth, and with the sudden collision, the food was lodged in his throat!
