Chapter 13 Xie Linxiao
“Grandma, my home is not far from Rhine Villa, in the Sun and Moon Community. It’s on my way, so I’ll take you home.”
Although Jiang Songchu was unaware of the background of Rhine Villa, she still decided to take the old lady back, because it was just a small favor for her.
The old lady nodded and accepted Jiang Songchu's kindness with a smile.
Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Songchu did not let go of her hand and helped the old lady walk towards the Rhine Villa. The two chatted as they walked, and after a brief introduction, Jiang Songchu affectionately called her Grandma Feng.
Upon arriving at Rhine Villa, before even approaching Grandma Feng's house, one could see a young man, about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a dark blue suit, anxiously pacing at the door.
His suit was impeccably tailored, with smooth, crisp shoulder lines that perfectly accentuated his broad and powerful shoulders and back. The waist was fitted just right, and the trousers had a clean, flowing line, with the cuffs lightly covering his polished black leather shoes.
His outfit seemed designed to project a sense of composure and calm, but his current anxiety shattered that tranquility.
The man turned around abruptly and immediately saw Jiang Songchu helping Grandma Feng walk over. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He quickly went to greet them, led them into the house, and sat them down on the sofa in the living room, his words revealing a hint of relief.
"Grandma! You're finally here, that's wonderful! Xiao Zhao said you wouldn't let him pick you up and insisted on walking here yourself, but you had already left by yourself when he called me."
Grandma Feng smiled and patted her grandson's shoulder gently.
"Xiao Xiao, it's alright, I'm perfectly fine. The journey wasn't far, it's a good opportunity to stretch these old bones. This is Jiang Songchu, she helped me cross the road, and seeing that I was having trouble, she even brought me back. You should thank her properly!"
Then, she said to Jiang Songchu, "This is my grandson Xie Linxiao. Thank you so much for today, Xiaochu."
Jiang Songchu reiterated that there was no need to be polite, while glancing at the Xie family's villa.
The spacious and bright living room had a ceiling height of about ten meters and a simple yet elegant design. She nodded to herself, thinking that this was the perfect size for living.
Another day of missing my own mansion.
Upon hearing Grandma Feng's words, Xie Linxiao breathed a sigh of relief and regained his dignified and composed demeanor.
He gave Jiang Songchu a sharp look. Her simple white T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers did nothing to diminish her beauty. The backpack she carried further accentuated her youthful, student-like appearance.
However, he sensed a touch of nobility and elegance in it, and it seemed somewhat familiar.
Noble...? Xie Linxiao paused, looked again, as if it were an illusion.
However, due to his profession, as someone deeply involved in the entertainment industry, he couldn't deny that this young girl's appearance was indeed very suitable for the entertainment circle.
Yes, that's right. The Xie family's Hongtian Group is a giant in modern industry, and its Hongtian Entertainment has cultivated countless movie stars and singers. Countless people who dream of entering the entertainment industry are eager to join the Xie family's Hongtian Entertainment.
"Hello Jiang Songchu, thank you for taking my grandma home today. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."
After saying that, he took out a business card from his pocket.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Jiang Songchu politely declined Xie Linxiao's business card and then said to Grandma Feng, "Grandma Feng, it's time for me to go home for dinner. When you get home, please rest well and take good care of yourself."
Xie Linxiao was somewhat surprised. In Nanlin City, who didn't know the Xie family's background? How could this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl refuse so readily? Judging from her attire, she didn't seem to come from a wealthy family. Even if she wasn't a fan of celebrities, she should know some, right? Like the veteran actor Liao Yi, almost every household knew him.
He wondered if this was a deliberate rejection or genuine indifference. Xie Linxiao thought to himself that it was probably the latter, because he could see that there was no emotional fluctuation in her eyes.
Grandma Feng then said, "It's fate that we met. Xiao Xiao is always busy with work and doesn't have time for me. Xiao Chu, Grandma likes you very much. When you have time on the weekend, come to Grandma Feng's house to keep Grandma company. Grandma will have someone cook something delicious for you."
Along the way, Grandma Feng also learned that Jiang Songchu is currently studying at No. 39 Middle School and only comes home on weekends.
"Thank you, Grandma Feng. I appreciate your kind gesture. I will come to visit you when I have time."
Jiang Songchu stood up as she spoke, preparing to leave.
Seeing that Jiang Songchu was about to leave, Grandma Feng and Xie Linxiao got up to see him off.
Grandma Feng had a very good impression of the young girl she had just met today, and also some feelings that she couldn't quite explain.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited him repeatedly, and as she walked, she kept telling Jiang Songchu to remember to come to her house.
As Jiang Songchu arrived at the entrance of Rhine Villa, she was about to leave when she saw a fluffy little head peeking out from beside the flower bushes in the green belt not far away.
Its amber eyes, like jewels in the night sky, trembled as it emerged; it turned out to be a pure black kitten.
Judging by its size, it was probably only a few days old. Its grayish fur made it look like a stray cat. When it saw Jiang Songchu, it meowed at her.
Jiang Songchu was immediately attracted to the little black kitten.
In Gu Tianrong, the black cat is called Wuyun or Xiaotie, and is believed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, protect the home, and attract wealth.
Not only are black cats rare, but pure black cats without a single other color are even more prized by people in ancient times.
She tiptoed over, beckoned to the little black cat, and exuded a friendly aura: "Sweetie, come to your big sister."
The little black cat seemed to sense Jiang Songchu's kindness, so it walked towards her with unsteady, unsteady steps.
As they approached, Jiang Songchu gently picked it up and affectionately stroked its head.
Grandma Feng and Xie Linxiao were struck by how beautiful this scene was.
Sunlight shone on Jiang Songchu, making her seem to radiate light.
A young girl, carrying a backpack and dressed simply, with slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders, a gentle face, innocent eyes, and a kind smile on her lips, held a pitiful little black cat in her arms, which gently meowed at her.
The scene is as beautiful as a painting.
With a click, Xie Linxiao had already captured the scene with lightning speed.
At this moment, Xie Linxiao was absolutely certain that Jiang Songchu truly had no ulterior motives towards the Xie family, only because this young girl was as pure and flawless as crystal.
Jiang Songchu turned gracefully and politely said to Grandma Feng and Xie Linxiao, "Grandma Feng, Mr. Xie, please wait a moment. This little guy is really adorable, but I need to take him to the vet for a check-up to make sure he's healthy. You don't need to see me off, and I look forward to seeing you again!"
Seeing Grandma Feng nod and wave, Jiang Songchu smiled and waved goodbye, then left with the little black cat.
Xie Linxiao watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He quickly took out his phone and carefully compared the photo with the martial arts performance video that was trending on social media. He finally confirmed that the girl in front of him was the high school freshman who had become an overnight sensation.
