Chapter 258: Back to Town
Jiang Kekai, Xia Le, and Xia Ling—also in regular attire—took hands like four little cuties off to check out the location for the new villa. No surprises, they were going to build a big, fancy house here. Arriving at the village entrance, they saw a vast open space with a dirty, murky pond nearby.
“Not bad, Xia Yu. What do you think?” Jiang Kekai asked Xia Yu, who was standing beside her, looking undecided. Jiang Kekai then turned to Jiang Hanhang and Xia Ling, who were holding hands. “Sis likes it! It’s by the village entrance, and there’s plenty of space.”
“Yeah, there’s no buildings around, so there will be good light.”
Jiang Kekai already knew what Jiang Hanhang and Xia Ling thought. She announced with confidence, “Okay, let’s finalize everything today, and start construction tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll see the progress when we come back for the holidays.”
“Do you plan on coming back during the holiday too, Little Ning?” Xia Yu asked innocently.
“Of course, but not on New Year’s Day,” Jiang Kekai replied, looking at Xia Yu intently. “Xia Le and I have to wrap up some things at home first. Does that bother you?”
Seeing Xia Yu flinch, Jiang Kekai teased by narrowing her eyes. Xia Yu quickly looked away and whispered, “I’m fine with it… I like it.”
Jiang Kekai smiled, “Good, then let’s get to work!” And so, the four girls set off to the elders’ house.
Unbeknownst to them, news had spread that Jiang Kekai wanted to build her dream mansion. They could hear people whispering about them, speculating why the Kekai family was so wealthy. After discussing the contract with the elders, they proceeded to draft it and make the payment. Suddenly, the village got another millionaire. Xia Yu distinctly remembered how jubilant the elder was.
The process went smoothly. By afternoon, all formalities were settled, and Jiang Kekai immediately began making calls to hire dependable construction crews.
Design plans weren’t only Jiang Kekai’s doing; she consulted the others extensively. The consensus—money wasn’t an issue, as long as everyone was happy.
Xia Hong was observing everything carefully, and it dawned on him. No wonder people on the internet called her the genius daughter; she was indeed independent and decisive. Comparing his own son Xia Le, he sighed in envy.
Jiang Kekai and Jiang Hanhang stayed till the very end to accompany Xia Yu and Xia Ling until their break ended.
Naturally, if Jiang Kekai and Jiang Hanhang came along, they would stay together. The car convoy departed slowly from the village, and everyone could now discuss without hiding. Sadly, they didn’t know the identities of these newcomers.
Grandma and Grandpa later discussed among themselves…
“The ladies mentioned that two groups came looking for Miss Xia Yu during your absence. Be careful when you return.”
Jiang Kekai wasn’t surprised and continued cuddling the queasy Xia Yu while asking Zhao Wei, “What about those people?”
“Dr. Y and his people came twice, and twice more from the Lin family, plus once from the Huang family.”
“Were they successful?”
“No, we kept them back per your orders.”
“Well done. Though I’m not sure why they came, I have a feeling going their way would be bad. So they’re not getting their way.”
Jiang Kekai squeezed Xia Yu’s cute cheek and added, “Inform Cheng afterward to protect Xia Yu and Xia Ling. Don’t want anything to happen again.”
“But Miss, the fees only cover you and Second Miss…”
Jiang Kekai cut her off, “I’ll handle Xiao Yu’s fees. For Xia Ling’s, ask my sister to chip in.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hanhang protested, “Why can’t you pay for both of us, big sis?”
“Xiao Ling suffered for you, isn’t this a chance to repay her?”
Reluctantly, Jiang Hanhang agreed, “Okay, Zhao Wei, I’ll pay for Xia Ling this time. But don’t mess it up!”
“You got it, Miss.”
Summer Ling remained quiet, too uncomfortable to ride for too long.
When the convoy reached Peng City and Xia Yu and Jiang Kekai entered, the scene was typical—Xia Yu and Jiang Hanhang squabbling.
“How can you be so happy, huh? This is my home and your room!”
Xia Yu pouted, “I’m not! We should go to our rooms anyway.”
They all headed inside.
The arrival was greeted with relief—finally home.
