Chapter 1147: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity
In the room, Nangong Yao was singing and didn’t hear the doorbell. It wasn’t until she finished a song that she heard the sound, then turned off the music and went to open the door.
When she opened the door and saw Jiang Xue standing outside, she was startled.
"Why is it you?" Nangong Yao’s face instantly fell when she saw Jiang Xue. She never expected Jiang Xue would come to her door.
"Miss Nangong, aren’t you going to invite me in to sit for a while?" Jiang Xue said indifferently. She naturally knew why Nangong Yao was acting so strangely; it was because she was standing right in front of her.
If it were someone else, after the beating from those men yesterday, they’d already be lying in the hospital.
"What do you want to do?" Nangong Yao looked at Jiang Xue with a vigilant expression. She wasn’t foolish; on the contrary, she was very smart. She already guessed Jiang Xue’s reason for coming, so how could she let her into her house?
"Miss Nangong, it seems you know why I’m here." Jiang Xue raised an eyebrow and then smiled.
"I don’t know, you should go, you’re not welcome here." Nangong Yao’s heart sank and she immediately rushed to drive her away. Although the security in this complex was good, if Jiang Xue wanted to do something to her now, the security guards might not be able to arrive in time.
"Miss Nangong, I’m someone who values reciprocity. You gave me a big gift before, so I must return the favor." Jiang Xue said with a smile, but upon hearing this, Nangong Yao’s face changed.
She naturally understood what the "big gift" referred to. But if Jiang Xue wanted to return it, did she have time to run now?
With this in mind, Nangong Yao quickly retreated, trying to get back into the room. However, as fast as she retreated, Jiang Xue was just as fast. In the instant she pulled back, Jiang Xue flicked her fingers lightly, sending three streaks of Spiritual Power towards three parts of Nangong Yao’s body.
After the Spiritual Power entered Nangong Yao’s body, she managed to close the door just in time. Watching the door close, Jiang Xue’s lips curled into a deep arc.
Behind the door, Nangong Yao leaned against it, her tense feelings gradually relaxed. She felt a sense of relief, thankful that she closed the door quickly; otherwise, Jiang Xue might have beaten her.
She leaned against the door for a while, and when she sensed Jiang Xue had left, she finally let her guard down completely.
Elsewhere, after sending the Spiritual Power into Nangong Yao’s body, Jiang Xue didn’t linger and left Nangong Yao’s residence.
She retraced her path, leaving the same way she came in. Fortunately, at this time, there weren’t many people in the complex, so no one saw her enter or leave.
Currently, it wasn’t like the future where there’s surveillance everywhere, making it easy to be spotted.
After leaving Nangong Yao’s complex, Jiang Xue remembered there weren’t many groceries in her fridge, and she was low on fruits, rice, and flour, so she detoured to a supermarket to buy quite a lot of things.
While she was preparing to hail a taxi home with her groceries, a Benz stopped in front of her. Seeing the vehicle, Jiang Xue was startled and was about to curse at whoever parked so conveniently to block her way, when the car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.
"Miss Jiang, it’s rare to see you here, let me give you a ride." Nangong Chen looked at Jiang Xue and said with a smile.
"No need, I’ll just take a taxi back in a bit." Jiang Xue shook her head; whether Nangong Chen was passing by or came deliberately, Jiang Xue didn’t want to be alone with him.
