Xin Yanting’s eyes widened in shock . Her mouth was agape and she blinked to ensure that her eyes were not playing tricks on her . “Jesse . ”
She immediately sprinted outside the gate .
“Ting . ” Jesse opened his arms and walked towards her .
Both of them hugged politely .
Xin Yanting took a step back and peered up at him . She was still in shock . “Why are you here?”
Jesse smiled and replied, “I came to China for a holiday . You’re the only friend I have here so you’re the only person I could look for . ”
He sounded rather helpless but his smile couldn’t hide his joy .
Xin Yanting smiled . “How did you get this address?”
Jesse replied, “This address is written in your school records . ”
Indeed, this was the China address in her school records in Country M .
Xin Yanting nodded and grabbed Jesse’s arm . She pulled him into the house and said, “Come on in . ”
Then something flashed across her mind and she turned around . She barked an ordered at the butler who was standing at the gate . “Uncle Li, please bring my friend’s luggage inside . ”
“Yanting, who is this?” Jiang Shaomei asked as she pointed at Jesse .
“He’s my classmate in Country M, Jesse . ” Xin Yanting introduced him to Jiang Shaomei before introducing her to Jesse . “Jesse, this is my mother . ”
“Nice to meet you . ” Jesse smiled as he stepped forward . He bowed politely to Jiang Shaomei .
Jiang Shaomei knew that it was etiquette back in Country M . She smiled and nodded . “I’m glad to meet you, too . ”
Then she sized him up and was deep in thought before saying to Jesse, “Come in and have a seat . ”
Jiang Shaomei led the way while Xin Yanting and Jesse followed .
The few of them chatted as they walked .
“You’re quite amazing . You managed to find me all the way here . ”
Xin Yanting found a pair of slippers for him when they entered .
Jesse raised his eyebrows as he changed out of his shoes . “Aren’t you pleasantly surprised?”
“Yes, indeed . ”
This time, Xin Yanting replied in Chinese . Jesse was stunned since he didn’t know what she meant .
Seeing his stunned look, Xin Yanting and Jiang Shaomei chuckled .
He blinked and shrugged his shoulders before following them into the house .
He didn’t understand, anyway .
As they entered the hall, Jesse looked around the living room . He gasped in awe .
He turned and looked at Xin Yanting and gave her a thumbs up . “Ting, your house is amazing . ”
Xin Yanting shrugged her shoulders . “This isn’t my house . It’s my grandfather’s . ”
She walked to the sofa and they sat down . Both of them were still chatting about their classmates back in Country M .
Jesse was humorous and he made Xin Yanting burst into laughter every now and then .
It had been a while since she had last seen her daughter laugh like that . Jiang Shaomei watched them from afar and observed Jesse . She was deep in thought .
Suddenly, the phone in her bag started ringing and interrupted her thoughts .
“Mother, your phone is ringing,” Xin Yanting called . She took the phone out of the bag and walked over . She passed it to her .
Jiang Shaomei looked at the caller ID before picking up the call . “Hello . ”
