"Do you have any other questions?"

The driver was just trying to make money, so he didn't ask any more questions. "Nothing, nothing." The taxi started slowly. Jiang Qi was staring out the window in a daze all the way. He had originally planned to go to the library in the morning, but now he couldn't go to the library.

The driver was an extrovert. Seeing that Jiang Qie was about the same age as her daughter, he wanted to talk more and kept chatting all the way.

The car passed the Yuncheng Exhibition Hall. Jiang Qie looked at it seriously for a few minutes, and muttered "Chinese painting competition" to himself, but the driver in front heard it.

"Little girl, you just arrived in Yuncheng, right? That was the largest exhibition hall in Yuncheng. I heard from my son that there will be a large-scale Chinese painting competition there in a while. I heard that many well-known painters will come. Little girl, I heard you mentioned the Chinese painting competition just now. Are you here to participate as well?"

Chinese painting competition? I had heard Zhou Qian and Lin Ning talk about it before at the Lin family, but she had been busy with the Mathematical Olympiad recently, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing that Jiang Qie did not respond, the driver continued, "I heard that the organizer of this competition is from Beicheng, and the prize money is very generous! It's a pity that my daughter is not good at painting, otherwise I would have sent her to learn painting."

Huge bonus?!

"Master, you just said that the prize money for the Chinese painting competition is generous?"

The taxi stopped at the traffic light. The driver was a little thirsty because the girl in the back seat hadn't said anything. He was about to drink some tea, but he didn't expect the girl to respond to him. This made him want to share more. He put down the cup and started talking, "Little girl, are you interested in the Chinese painting competition? The prize money for this Chinese painting competition is really generous, because the organizer is the Jiang family of North City, and there are many well-known painters participating, so the first prize money is very attractive."

Jiang Qi nodded knowingly, and suddenly felt that it was not a bad idea to participate in a Chinese painting competition. At least the prize money was generous. She was short of money now, so she might as well earn whatever she could.

After arriving at Yunfu Mansion, the driver helped to take out the luggage from the trunk. Jiang Qie thanked him and walked in. After getting in the car, the driver turned around and looked at Jiang Qie who had successfully entered the gate of Yunfu Mansion. After taking a look at the low-key and luxurious floors, he suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were indeed a bit preconceived. It seemed that the girl really lived here, otherwise the security of Yunfu Mansion was notoriously strict, so how could a stranger be allowed in. The driver smiled and drove away.

Jiang Qie walked to Building 7 and got into the elevator. As the elevator slowly rose, the higher it went, the more expensive the houses in Yunfu Mansion. The elevator stopped steadily on the 21st floor. Jiang Qie took out the key to Yunfu Mansion from his bag. If Zhou Qian and others were present, they would definitely be very surprised. Jiang Qie opened the door and put the key in the entrance. Looking at the spotless living room, even the green ivy outside the balcony was still alive. It was obvious that someone came to take care of it every day.

She bought this house half a year ago, and used all her money to pay for it, hoping to bring her grandfather here to live in retirement. But not long after, her grandfather was hospitalized, and then he passed away.

Jiang Qie looked at the entire suite. There were not many pieces of furniture, but they were all carefully selected and purchased by Jiang Qie herself. There were also some small gadgets made for her by her grandfather and brought from the tube building. Jiang Qie touched the small gadgets on the shelf, and was somewhat moved. The corners of her lips could not help but curl up. There was a painting of spring scenery hanging on the wall of the living room. If an experienced person saw this painting at this time, he would only be surprised, because this painting was the famous work of an unknown painter who was famous two years ago. At that time, many wealthy and noble people wanted to buy this painting, but the painter issued a statement that this painting would not be sold, which also caused many people to regret it.

Jiang Qie put away his luggage, checked the time, took the key and went out again. However, his destination was still Yunfu Mansion.

Arriving at the villa area in the center of Yunfu Haoting, Jiang Qie came to a villa and paused before reaching out to ring the doorbell. At this moment, a burst of laughter came from inside the door. It was a familiar voice. Jiang Qie lowered his head, smiled, and pressed the doorbell.

"Ding Dong"

"Who is it?" Someone soon came to open the door. Jiang Qie listened to the approaching footsteps, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the corners of his clothes.

"Who is it?" The woman who opened the door looked at the girl standing at the door, words on her lips but unable to come out, looking very surprised.

Jiang Qie looked at the woman in front of him and smiled, and her already beautiful features became even more brilliant. "Aunt Zhang."

When Jiang Qie was in front of people she was close to, she would subconsciously soften her voice, which made her originally cold voice a little softer. Aunt Zhang looked at the girl in front of her and cried with joy. She held Jiang Qie's hand and said, "It's Ah Qie, Ah Qie is finally back! Come on, your teacher misses you so much, come in." Jiang Qie was brought in. Aunt Zhang was very excited at the moment. She ran towards the garden and shouted happily, "Teacher Liang, it's Ah Qie, Ah Qie is back!"

An old lady wearing a cheongsam and with a distinguished temperament stood up from the stone bench in a hurry and prepared to walk towards the gate.

"teacher."

The old woman paused and looked at the girl standing not far from her. She looked better than she did six months ago, but she was thinner and her eyes had changed. She didn't know what her student had been through in the past six months, but she knew that the girl had suffered.

The old woman reached out her hand tremblingly and touched the girl's face. Her eyes turned red and she choked up as she spoke: "Aqie, why are you so thin? Didn't I tell you to eat well? You are still so disobedient."

The familiar voice and caring words stirred up the heart of Jiang Qie, which had calmed down after leaving the Lin family. It turned out that there were still people who cared about her in this city. Jiang Qie lowered her head, and when she looked up again, her eyes were red. She held the old woman's hand and said softly, "Teacher, I'm back."

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back. Come on, come in, I have a lot to tell you. Aunt Zhang, please make more of Ah Qie's favorite dishes for lunch."

"Okay!" Aunt Zhang responded happily and turned to go to the kitchen.

Arriving at the living room, the old lady held Jiang Qie's hand and reluctantly let go, her eyes still looking at her. Jiang Qie looked around and saw several of his paintings hanging in the living room. At this time, Aunt Zhang brought two cups of tea from the kitchen and placed them on the tea table. She smiled kindly and said, "Ah Qie, drink your tea."

Jiang Qie picked up the teacup, took a sip, and savored it for a while. It was still the familiar taste. He looked up at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, the flower tea you make is still so delicious."
