No matter what, he knew Jiang Xue, and his impression of her was quite good.

Moreover, Principal Huang and Mr. Huang both highly praised Jiang Xue, and Jiang Xue was supposed to visit Mr. Huang for a medical check-up the next day. There couldn’t be any trouble, otherwise who would take care of Mr. Huang’s illness?

Mr. Lan was very efficient in his work. He immediately made a phone call to the police station. The police chief personally followed up on this matter upon receiving a call from the high-ranking official.

That’s why, while Si Ye was still on the road, he received a call asking him to go to the police station. Additionally, he was told to bring those who had fought with Jiang Xue along.

Upon receiving the call, Si Ye was utterly bewildered. He never expected Jiang Xue to act so swiftly. How long had it been? And now someone in authority was looking for him, even asking him to bring his men over to be detained for a few days. What was going on?

Could it be that Jiang Xue really knew some influential figure?

Thinking of this, Si Ye’s face turned unsightly. Damn Jiang Xue, wasn’t she just an outsider from the village? Since when did she become acquainted with such big shots without him knowing?

Recalling the promises he had made to her, he felt unwilling yet helpless. Forget it, he’d better let it go; otherwise, he wouldn’t come out ahead in this.

And if Jiang Xue truly knew someone influential, he couldn’t afford to offend her.

Having figured this out, Si Ye’s complexion improved significantly. He then directly called his men, instructing them to go to the police station.

Upon receiving Si Ye’s call, the faces of his men looked grim. Not only had they been beaten, but now they had to go to the police station—truly unfortunate.

But what choice did they have? Si Ye gave the orders, and they dared not defy him. Thus, they had no option but to turn their cars around and head to the police station.

Unaware of the subsequent events, Jiang Xue arrived at Lu Jintian’s home just as he was about to cook for himself. Alone in the house, he planned to settle for a simple dinner by cooking some noodles.

Upon hearing the doorbell, Lu Jintian turned off the stove and went to open the door. Seeing Jiang Xue and Little Reunion standing outside, he couldn’t help but express his surprise, "Xue’er, why have you and Little Reunion come over?"

Considering it was mealtime, he wondered what brought them here.

Filled with confusion, Jiang Xue chuckled and said, "Brother, I came with Little Reunion to invite you for dinner."

"Xue’er, no need, I’ve made dinner myself."

"You cook?" Jiang Xue looked at Lu Jintian with disbelief, surprised to learn he could actually cook.

"A bit!" Lu Jintian admitted with some embarrassment, as he wasn’t particularly skilled in cooking. He could only say that his food was edible.

"What did you cook tonight?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile. Her husband, Qian Cheng, was quite a good cook. She wondered how Lu Jintian’s skills compared.

"Noodles!" Lu Jintian replied, slightly embarrassed. Jiang Xue paused briefly upon hearing this, then laughed and said, "You’re having noodles tonight?"

Lu Jintian nodded and then inquired, "Xue’er, have you eaten? Would you like to join me?"

"No need!" Jiang Xue shook her head, then said, "I came to invite you to have dinner at home. From now on, you don’t need to cook. Just come home to eat; I’ll talk to mom and dad."

"This?" Lu Jintian felt a bit shy but understood that Jiang Xue meant well, so he didn’t decline.

"Xue’er, wait a moment." After speaking, Lu Jintian turned back, entered the room, turned off the gas, then returned, saying, "Let’s go!"
