Chapter 428: Chapter 428

Using whatever was in the kitchen, she made a bowl of noodles, which was basically just cooked dried noodles.

She didn’t feel like making hand-rolled noodles, mainly because there weren’t many ingredients here.

Of course, the seasoning for this bowl of noodles had to be improvised, since the kitchen was indeed lacking supplies, and she and Song Moting rarely cooked in the kitchen.

At most, sometimes when hungry at midnight, the two would make a little snack, but that was rare.

So it’s imaginable that there weren’t many good things in the kitchen.

Although it was plain boiled dried noodles, she added two plump poached eggs, along with some fresh vegetables from her own stash.

Finally, she fried some scallions in the pan—the flavor instantly came out.

Jiang Xiaoxiao brought the bowl of noodles seasoned with scallions to Wu Weiguo, puzzled herself.

These days she couldn’t stand the smell of cooking smoke, but today she surprisingly had no reaction to the fried scallions.

Just as she placed the noodles in front of Wu Weiguo, Jiang Xiaoxiao realized she was overthinking.

She thought this kid was being good and obedient today, but who would have thought that as soon as the bowl was placed down, Jiang Xiaoxiao ran out, covering her mouth.

Wu Weiguo heard the sound of Jiang Xiaoxiao vomiting outside in the yard and was very worried—what’s wrong with the child?

He limped on his injured foot to pour Jiang Xiaoxiao a cup of warm water to take outside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had already tidied herself up and returned; anyway, she knew that every time she got worked up, as long as she vomited most of the stuff from her stomach, she’d feel much better.

Seeing Wu Weiguo’s worried face as he handed over the cup.

Somewhat apologetically, this Uncle Wu was indeed a good person, seeing how worried he’d gotten.

"Uncle Wu, it’s nothing. You hurry up and eat!"

She took the cup, rinsed her mouth, spat outside, then drank half a cup of water.

Indeed, her stomach felt much more comfortable now.

Wu Weiguo worriedly rambled.

"Even though you’re still young, if you’re not feeling well, you should go to the hospital. Otherwise, a little illness could drag on into a big one."

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled.

"Uncle Wu, I’m really fine. I know my own body. Don’t worry. You should quickly taste the noodles I made; there are only dried noodles at home, so please make do with them."

Wu Weiguo still wasn’t reassured; Wu Fei knocked on the door.

"Xiaoxiao, it’s Wu Fei."

Jiang Xiaoxiao hurried to open the door, and upon opening it, she saw Mrs. Wu and Wu Fei, along with the driver holding big and small bags, she was stunned.

She looked at Wu Fei with a questioning gaze.

Wu Fei shrugged helplessly.

"As soon as my grandma heard that Uncle twisted his ankle here, wasn’t she quick to come over? I’m telling you, my uncle is my grandma’s treasure. So here she is, with lots of gifts to thank you for helping my uncle."

Mrs. Wu gave her granddaughter a disapproving look—as if to say that’s how you talk about your grandma!

She smiled at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Doctor Jiang, I’m here at your door, hope I’m not bothering you."

Seeing this young lady, the old lady couldn’t help but feel a rush of emotions mainly because this child looked so much like her son when he was little. The more she looked, the more they resembled each other—a spitting image.

Jiang Xiaoxiao responded politely.

"Not at all. Mrs. Wu, please do come inside, it’s so cold outside; I’ll pour you a cup of tea. Uncle Wu is eating inside; earlier, he probably didn’t eat on the road. It’s cold outside, and he twisted his ankle, so I simply made some food for him. Please don’t mind the plainness."

Mrs. Wu laughed and patted Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand, "You don’t have to do anything, come, keep me company and let’s have a nice chat inside."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was led away, leaving Wu Fei feeling abandoned outside.

She thought bitterly to herself, is this really my grandma?

Could I possibly be adopted?

Following behind them inside pitifully.

Wu Weiguo saw his mother and niece come in, then noticed his mother full of smiles pulling Jiang Xiaoxiao along.

He immediately understood—his mother is such a sharp lady.

The things he’s done, she’s certainly noticed something; otherwise, she wouldn’t have rushed to visit.

The old lady looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wu Weiguo; without needing her to speak, Wu Fei exclaimed from the side.

"Oh my gosh, Xiaoxiao, could you be my uncle’s daughter? You and my uncle look identical! Look at those brows and even the forehead are almost exactly the same. My uncle was a handsome guy in his youth, reportedly a heartthrob, with many girls chasing after him."

Jiang Xiaoxiao suspiciously glanced at Wu Weiguo.

In her past life, she doesn’t recall the Wu family ever searching for a granddaughter, and she’d never had this situation happen; she’d always thought she was a Fang family child, having done a DNA test.

She and Ye Hua were definitely biological mother and daughter.

Yes, she only tested with Ye Hua and never with Fang Zhiyuan!

Could it be she’s not Fang Zhiyuan’s daughter, and Ye Hua had cheated on him?

But Ye Hua and Wu Weiguo seemed completely different people!

Though not very familiar with Wu Weiguo, just from his interactions and speech earlier it was clear.

This person is very well-mannered and knowledgeable, kind-hearted and pleasant, in stark contrast with Ye Hua’s selfish, arrogant nature—not even in the same league.

To suggest they had a romantic connection would be unbelievable even to Jiang Xiaoxiao herself. Does Uncle Wu actually like Ye Hua’s type?

That’s too outlandish.

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "Oh, stop with the jokes! Mrs. Wu, please have a seat."

She pulled Wu Fei to the kitchen to pour some water.

Wu Fei dazedly followed her, "Wu Fei, you’re an adult now; you can’t always speak without thinking. What you said makes your uncle and grandma very embarrassed!"

While pouring tea, Jiang Xiaoxiao lectured Wu Fei.

She was one hundred percent sure; she couldn’t possibly be Uncle Wu’s child. If Uncle Wu really got involved with Ye Hua, she’d lose respect for him.

Though Ye Hua is pretty, she’s not overwhelmingly beautiful.

With Ye Hua’s calculating methods, even she could handle it, not to mention a family like the Wu’s.

The fact Ye Hua didn’t marry into the Wu family shows they certainly didn’t find her appealing.

Considering Ye Hua’s high-and-mighty attitude, if the Wu family was within reach, how could she end up marrying Fang Zhiyuan?

Even being scolded didn’t discourage Wu Fei.

"Xiaoxiao, why don’t you believe me? You really do look like my uncle. If you don’t believe it, ask my grandma later. I’m not lying; there’s nothing embarrassing about resembling someone. People who look alike are common in this world—it’s fate, you know?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed; this child needs guidance.
