Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Disappointed and Disheartened

Liu thanked Jiang Xue and then sat down again.

Seeing that Liu was fine, Jiang Xue was about to leave. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a few people looking at her, as if they wanted to speak but hesitated.

Jiang Xue naturally knew that these people wanted to apologize to her, but she wouldn’t initiate the conversation. Although she was magnanimous, some things happened that she couldn’t just ignore.

If she didn’t have medical skills, if something really had happened to Liu, she wouldn’t be able to establish herself here in the future and would surely become a shunned outcast. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Jiang Xue had originally planned to socialize, but what had just transpired left her feeling disheartened. So, she no longer paid attention to anyone and went straight into the kitchen and sat down.

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Xue slightly closed her eyes. There had been too many people just now, and she hadn’t had time to ask Liu some things.

Thinking about it now, she found the event too coincidental. Liu knew he was coming to eat, so why did he eat the dried persimmon beforehand?

If Liu had been hungry beforehand, he should have eaten something else. Why specifically the dried persimmon? It’s not that Jiang Xue was being conspiratorial, but the matter seemed too coincidental.

Huo Cong, knowing Jiang Xue was in a bad mood, stayed not far from the kitchen to watch over her. Ah Li was busy socializing and greeting everyone to eat, only realizing after a while that Jiang Xue wasn’t there.

Upon thinking for a moment, she understood why Jiang Xue was not there. So she took a moment to go to the kitchen and saw Jiang Xue sitting on a chair, lost in thought. She approached her and asked, "Jiang Xue, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah Li, why are you here?" Jiang Xue glanced at Ah Li and smiled.

"I’ve already seen to them; they are all eating. They can’t stop praising your skills. Why don’t you go out and show your face?"

"Ah Li, it’s enough for you to show your face; I’ll pass." Jiang Xue said indifferently. Before, she had thought about relying on these people, but now it seemed they might not be reliable after all. So, she felt she had to rely on herself.

"Are you still upset about what just happened?" Ah Li sat down next to Jiang Xue and asked sincerely.

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "No, I am thinking about Liu’s situation."

"Jiang Xue, don’t think too much; it was just an accident."

"No, I don’t think it was an accident; it could very well be a conspiracy." Jiang Xue shook her head again, leaving Ah Li shocked. She wondered why Jiang Xue would think that way.

"Ah Li, do you think I’m overthinking?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile. Ah Li’s expression already betrayed her, but Jiang Xue didn’t think she was overthinking.

"Yes, I think you must be overthinking. Think about it, the meal plans were only known to the Chinese."

"No, Ah Li, you forgot someone. Jin Hao also knew."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ah Li thought of Jin Hao, who had come to eat at noon. Because Jin Hao had asked her, she told him.

Could it really be him?

Ah Li was a bit suspicious, but a voice in her head told her, yes, it was definitely him.

Because at noon, Jin Hao had also tried to stir up trouble between her and Jiang Xue. He certainly didn’t want to see her getting too close to Jiang Xue, nor did he want to see Jiang Xue getting too close to the Chinese community.

Seeing Ah Li not speaking, Jiang Xue also fell silent. She had already targeted Jin Hao, and now it was just a matter of time to verify it.

However, she heard that Jin Hao might come later, so she could observe carefully.

Ah Li didn’t sit for long before she left. She was the restaurant owner and had to entertain the guests.
