Chapter 246

Surprised or not? Unexpected or not?!

Jiang Xiumian was about to cry to death.

When they first traveled to this world, Jiang's father and mother finally accepted the reality of the change of dynasty, but they were almost upset to tears by the reality of their family.

They could tolerate their daughter not being married at the age of 22, after all, getting married late is considered a late age in this era. But they simply could not accept the fact that their son was still unmarried at the age of 35!

Which boy is thirty-five and still hasn’t gotten married?

In this way, Jiang Yipei had another girlfriend...

What can I do? !

"Do I have to be a Chen Shimei as soon as I get back? Dump her a month before the wedding?"

Jiang Yipei looked at him sideways: "How about you give in? You are already 38 this year, isn't it time for you to get married?"

Jiang Xiumian closed his eyes tightly: "I didn't find this wife!"

If after getting married, the girl finds out that you are not what you wanted, then that would be harmful to her!

Jiang Suying asked: "So what do you think we should do now?"

Jiang Xiumian: "Cold salad!"

No sooner said than done, the cell phone on Jiang Xiumian's bedside table rang, startling him. He took it and saw that it was the same phone he had used three years ago - this guy is quite frugal!

But when he saw the caller note on his phone, he fell silent.

——Jiang Li!

Damn Jiang Li family!

That Jiang Xiumian is really amazing!

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the girlfriend I'm going to marry, right?

Such a nickname for someone!

Jiang Xiumian didn’t know for a moment whether he should answer the call - what should he say if he answered?

Say--

I'm a fake!

Your real boyfriend has gone home!

You two will never see each other again in this life!

Poor guy, he is obviously the real one!

The call was not answered, and the other party did not call again. After a while, a voice message popped up on WeChat:

Sure enough, it was Jiang Li.

[Baby, haven't you arrived yet? Drive carefully and text me back when you get there, ok~]

In the ward, the leaves are falling and the place is so quiet that it couldn't be any quieter.

Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Bai looked at each other silently.

Jiang Xiumian looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes wide open.

Are you shocked by your girlfriend’s understanding—she didn’t answer the phone and didn’t make a fuss!

(Note: His previous girlfriend broke up with him because she was always slow to answer the phone.)

Jiang Xiumian was shocked that the woman opposite him called a grown man who was almost 40 years old - baby!

What a niche and extinct word.

He came to his senses and immediately threw his phone away!

"Brother, please at least say something back! Do you want to make the girl go through a cliff-like breakup? How immoral! We can't do evil as soon as we come back!" Jiang Xiaomi almost laughed out loud as she spoke.

Jiang Suying added: "She is only 28, in her prime. Why should she go through all this? Her ancestors must have done a great deed to meet you~"

"Mom!" Jiang Xiumian had a bitter face. What kind of family are they? They just want to watch the fun and make trouble!

That’s right, Jiang Xiumian found a girlfriend who is ten years younger than him, so what! His girlfriend is considerate and caring, so what!

Jiang Xiumian bent down and picked up the phone again, and replied a message. He had just finished editing and hadn't sent it out when he heard a long "Yo~~~~~~" sound.

Jiang Xiumian: “…”

He wants to go back to ancient times, really.

A socially anxious person like him is not suitable for living in modern times, let alone having a girlfriend!

"Okay, tell the girl right away so she doesn't worry. As for the termination of the relationship, let's talk about it when we get back." Jiang Yipei added, "Go downstairs and pay the deposit for hospitalization, and then hire two nurses."

When they were rescued, the bags on the seats were also snatched out, with their documents and other things in them. As for their cell phones, they were in their pockets at the time of the car crash, so they are still there. However, everything in the trunk was burned.

They all stayed in the hospital for the next week. Jiang Xiaomi's arm became inflamed and it was so painful. She took anti-inflammatory drugs while having Jiang Suying give her a few injections. She stayed in the hospital for another three days. Finally, Jiang Xiaomi, with her arm in a sling, followed Jiang Xiumian and Jiang Bai, and pushed Jiang Suying and Jiang Yipei out of the hospital.

Jiang Xiumian took Jiang Yipei and Jiang Suying back to the hotel, while Jiang Xiaomi and Jiang Bai went to visit Jiang Bai's parents.

Although there was no way to explain the time travel, and there was no way to explain how Jiang Bai became another person, they were really close to home now, and Jiang Bai really couldn't convince himself not to go back and take a look.

"Is this your home?" Jiang Xiaomi looked at the thirty-story building in front of her and was confused: "Didn't you say your family is a street sweeper?"

"My grandparents and my parents are sanitation workers. Now that they are old, they rented two floors here a few years ago and opened a serviced apartment. Now it is the peak season at the beach and there are many guests. My parents should be here to look after the store if nothing unexpected happens."

"What's the name of your hotel?" Jiang Xiaomi looked at the shop signs and found that they were all seafood stalls, and there was no hotel sign.

Jiang Bai was familiar with the route: "Let's go up to the second floor!"

"Second floor?" Jiang Xiaomi was so unconvinced: "How can the reception be on the second floor?"

"There are 13 sea view apartments here, each with at least 30 floors, and each floor has to suites. Who do you think can afford to rent one? So these apartments are sublet by the property management company. Some hotels moved in relatively late, and some hotels could not continue to operate and went bankrupt.

Therefore, many newly opened hotels are relatively small in scale. They rent a few units on this floor, and a few units on that floor. Ten to twenty, thirty to forty units can be considered a hotel. This building is sublet by at least a dozen or twenty hotels. How many hotel front desks can be opened in the shops on the ground floor?

So these hotels basically use the second-floor apartments as reception desks, but the second floor is lower, the view is not good, and it cannot be sold at a high price.”

Jiang Xiaomi suddenly realized: "Oh ~ Then your family can do it! Renting two floors, the annual rent is not small, a wealthy family!"

"It's not as good as yours, landlady. My house is rented, but yours is your own. By the way, haven't you been here for a trip?"

"I don't live here—"

Apartments are very densely packed together. Jiang Xiaomi's family has some money, so of course they go to stay in a five-star hotel.

"Then where do you live?"

Jiang Bai was feeling homesick, and he had been talking non-stop to Jiang Xiaomi since he stepped into Building 12. He didn't even take the stairs, but went up through the emergency passage.

Seeing Jiang Bai was so nervous that his hands were clenched together, she held his hands and patted them: "You are meeting your parents, why are you so nervous?"

"This kind of thing is absurd no matter who it happens to. They don't recognize you, don't believe you, and may even think you are talking nonsense and beat you up and kick you out!

But you know the whole story, right? You know you are their child, right? In other words, in your heart, you consider them your family, so they are your family.

Take it slow. If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. Even if they never believe in you, can you just give up?

You are an adult and you can decide what to do and how to do it. You can't just say that they scold you and you feel sad and upset and never come back. That is the wrong approach. Can you be more patient? "

Jiang Xiaomi had never felt so "stuck" in all her years. It seemed that not everyone could be such a close sister. She almost felt sick to the point of vomiting - if Jiang Bai didn't listen this time, she would use her fists to persuade him next time.

Fortunately, Jiang Bai listened to him, plucked up his courage, and walked into room 208.

"Welcome, have you booked a room?"

The person asking the question was a young lady with a sweet voice. Jiang Bai was stunned - he didn't know this person!

He stepped out and looked at the LED light box at the door. It clearly read "Youbai" Hotel Apartments. The name of the hotel had not changed, but it was not the one he expected. Upon asking, he found out that the hotel had changed hands three years ago, and the hotel owner liked the name very much and did not change it.

Coming out of Room 208, Jiang Bai was a little lost. Jiang Xiaomi looked at him and couldn't help but said, "Call! Don't you even remember your parents' phone numbers?"

Jiang Bai thought that they could meet in person instead of calling, but he couldn't find anyone, so he had to call Jiang's mother.

The phone rang on the other end. Jiang Bai's heart trembled with every "beep". No one answered the call. Jiang Bai waited patiently until he heard "The number you dialed is currently unanswered" before he hung up and called again.

"Hey, who's there?"

Finally, the call was connected, and it was a middle-aged woman's somewhat hoarse voice.

"Aunt M——, I'm Jiang Bai——'s college classmate. I want to go see him. Is it convenient?"

In the end, Jiang Bai did not point it out directly, but chose a more tactful approach and decided to meet first and talk about it later.

There was a long pause on the other end of the phone, and Jiang Bai was waiting anxiously. Finally, he heard a sentence: "I added you on WeChat. Is this the number?"

Jiang Bai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's this number!"

Then Jiang Bai received the location of a cemetery. Jiang Xiubai was silent for a moment and handed the phone to Jiang Xiaomi: "Are you going to visit your own grave? Do you want to buy anything?"

"Buy your head!"

Jiang Bai didn't want to joke with her. Jiang's mother sent another voice message: "Classmate, come over. Xiaobai and I are waiting for you here."

This terrifying sentence made Jiang Bai's tears dry up, and he ran away pulling Jiang Xiaomi.

As soon as they got off the online car-hailing vehicle, the driver stepped on the accelerator as if he was being chased by a dog. The two of them walked up the mountain along the mountain path and saw Jiang's father and mother waiting on the roadside.

dad!

mom!

Jiang Bai rushed towards them, stumbled, and knelt down in front of them, his head hitting the steps and a bump appeared.

Father Jiang quickly helped him up and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Jiang Bai smiled foolishly. Looking at his parents who had aged so much, his tears instantly moistened his eyes. He tried hard to hold them back and not let them fall: "B——Uncle and Auntie, how have you been these years?"

Looking at the boy with red eyes, Jiang's father and mother did not answer him. After a while, Jiang's mother said, "Xiaobai is here, you come with me."

As he spoke, he led the way in front of him. After walking up more than ten steps, he turned right and finally stopped at the sixth tombstone. There were several bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone, some were very fresh, and some were a little wilted. Jiang Bai looked at the black and white photo on the tombstone, looking at the face that he had never seen again after traveling through time.

Mother Jiang squatted down and touched the tombstone, as if caressing her child, then she raised the corners of her mouth and said to the child: "Xiaobai, today, your classmates came to see you..."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly became hot again. She wiped away her tears and said, "Excuse me, classmates, what are your names? Are you good friends with my Xiaobai? We are good friends, right? Otherwise, Xiaobai wouldn't have given you my phone number."

Jiang Bai nodded: "Yes...we are best friends, my name is...Jiang Bai."

"what?"

Jiang's mother suspected that she had heard it wrongly, and asked Jiang's father: "What did he say his name was?"

Father Jiang also looked at Jiang Bai, who took out his ID card from his bag: "My name is Jiang Bai!"

Mother Jiang held Jiang Bai's ID card in her hand, looked at the colorful, sunny photo of the boy, then looked at the black-and-white photo of her own child. Her hands couldn't stop shaking, and the evil thoughts in her heart overflowed - why was Jiang Bai alive and well, but her child died, why!

She knew that it was wrong for her to curse a child who was almost as old as Xiaobai, but she just couldn't control her thoughts - how great it would be if it was this child who died instead of her Xiaobai!

Father Jiang also took Jiang Bai's ID card and looked at it, and said in surprise: "You and Xiaobai were born on the same day, month and year!"

When Mother Jiang heard this, tears started streaming down her face. She glanced at Jiang Bai and then fainted.

"Mom!" Jiang Bai rushed over and caught the person.

Father Jiang called 120 and said to Jiang Bai, "Xiaobai's death was a huge blow to your aunt. She has been taking medicine to stabilize her condition over the years."

"Mom!" Jiang Bai wanted to cry to death, but he couldn't hold back after hearing this. He immediately grabbed Jiang's mother's hand that was hanging on the ground and touched his face, crying loudly: "Mom, I'm Xiaobai! I'm back, mom! I'm sorry, I'm back late! Mom, wake up, look at me, I really am Xiaobai!"

"Xiaobai?!" Jiang's father originally thought that the "Mom" Jiang Bai shouted when he rushed over to catch his wife was an illusion, but now that he has heard it so many times, he can't convince himself that it was all an illusion!

But, how is it possible!

He looks different from Xiaobai!

Moreover, Xiaobai was clearly cremated, and he was the one who sent him in personally!

"Dad!" Jiang Bai raised his tearful face and shouted, "I'm really Xiaobai! Can't you recognize me after I changed my face?"

That crying and aggrieved look suddenly gave Father Jiang a sense of familiarity.
