Chapter 261: 184 Modern Yue Buqun, Inwardly Passionate as a Family Trait (3 more chapters)_2 “We’ll talk once it’s done.” “Thanks in advance.” After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yanting looked up the car and saw that it had been auctioned for over three hundred million. This kid really wasn’t being polite, catching him and biting hard, he almost wanted to bite off his skin and bones! Shen Zhixian watched him finish the call and asked in a low voice, “Is this person reliable?” “Yes,” Jiang Yanting nodded. “He’s a cousin of mine. I’ll introduce you when he returns.” Shen Zhixian just smiled, seeing Jiang Yanting trust his cousin unconditionally, laying everything bare before him. Thinking of the Xie Family, she truly trusted them too, yet such an incident had occurred. Thinking about it now, a chill still lingered in her spine. However, Jiang Yanting soon received a work-related phone call. He had wanted to decline the work, but by the time he turned around, Shen Zhixian had already fetched his coat for him... “You have work, right? Then you better go, don’t be late for work.” “Do you really want me to go?” Jiang Yanting didn’t reach for his coat but instead smiled at her. “I... I just...” Shen Zhixian indeed wasn’t ready to interact with him, and right now her mind was filled solely with thoughts of the child, leaving no room for him. “No worries, spend more time with Jiangjiang. He actually likes you quite a bit, he’s just stubborn.” “Thank you.” Shen Zhixian knew that abandoning someone after their utility was over wasn’t a good act, but at the moment, she really couldn’t care about Jiang Yanting. “By the way, he really likes cilantro and carrots.” “Really? I’ll remember that.” Suddenly knowing her son’s preferences, Shen Zhixian was overjoyed. “I should head out now. Contact me anytime if you need anything.” ... Jiangjiang couldn’t hear what was being said outside; he was excitedly sniffing the scent on the pillow and rolling around the bed. Soon enough, he actually fell asleep. When he woke up, he was greeted by a glass of orange carrot juice! “Thirsty? Have a drink.” Shen Zhixian handed him the freshly made carrot juice without a second thought, “Your dad mentioned you like it. It’s a bit dry indoors with the heating on, so it’s good to stay hydrated.” Jiangjiang clenched his teeth, his fists balled up in frustration. Deadbeat dad! “What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?” Jiangjiang was certain; there were no carrots originally at Shen Zhixian’s place. She must have bought the carrots especially for this fruit and vegetable juice. His real mom’s kindness couldn’t be wasted, so he reluctantly took it, held his breath, and gulped it down. “If you like it, finish it all. I’ll take you out to play later.” Jiangjiang’s smile was bitter. After they left the house, Shen Zhixian took him out for a while and bought him a bunch of clothes. Jiangjiang felt it was unnecessary, but she thought it wasn’t enough, managing to change him completely from head to toe, spotlessly clean. ** At the Jiang Family’s The old lady learned that Jiang Yanting had left Jiangjiang alone under Shen Zhixian’s care and was still a bit worried. After all, she hadn’t met Shen Zhixian. Even if it was a child known to her, she was still anxious. “Great-grandma, I won’t come back for dinner tonight.” “Not coming back?” This made the old lady somewhat uneasy inside. “That...” Jiangjiang hesitated, always unsure how to address Shen Zhixian, eventually just calling her aunt, “Auntie bought me a lot of stuff; we’re going to eat out and might not come back tonight. Dad knows all about it.” “Is that so? Did you thank your aunt? Don’t let her keep buying you stuff.” “I know.” ... The old lady hung up the phone, always thinking about finding a reliable person to take care of Jiangjiang. Hearing his happy voice, logically, she should have felt comforted, but deep down, she felt somewhat sore. “Can’t bear it, can you?” Mister Tang said with a laugh from the side. “A bit.” The old lady smiled helplessly, looking around the house, “Tonight, Xiaowu and Wanwan are also out; it suddenly feels so quiet at home, and I have no idea what these two kids are up to!” “Going on a date,” Mr. Tang chuckled lightly. “Xiaowu used to hate going out.” So the old lady wasn’t very lonely at home, as Jiang Jinsang was almost always there. “That was in the past. Now that he has someone, he probably can’t wait to go out every day. Kids grow up like this,” Mr. Tang said with a smile. During the conversation, Jiang Yanting came back, and the old lady got up with her cane, “Yanting, why did you leave Jiangjiang alone with her?” The old lady had never met Shen Zhixian, and she definitely wasn’t at ease. “He even told me he might not come to stay tonight, and that made me a bit uneasy.” “Yes, Yanting, you’ve already troubled her to look after him all afternoon,” Fan Mingyu finally said, also uneasy about handing her grandson over to a “stranger.” “I’ll go over after dinner.” The Jiang family finally felt relieved upon hearing this. “Is that girl spirited, do you really like her?” After dealing with the little great-grandson’s issue, the old lady immediately started gossiping. After all, as far as she knew, Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian hadn’t known each other long, and she understood her grandson well. Though he didn’t express it, he really adored his son and wouldn’t leave him with someone whom he had just met. He must really trust her. “Mhm,” Jiang Yanting nodded. “Does that girl like you?” the old lady asked, while Jiang Zhenhuan, Fan Mingyu, and Mr. Tang sat on the side watching and eating melon seeds, all curious. Jiang Yanting coughed. It seemed like the elders always loved to gossip about the younger generation’s marriage! “She might like Jiangjiang more.” He said with a wry smile. If he hadn’t taken Jiangjiang along, Shen Zhixian probably wouldn’t have even let him in. “That shows that the young lady is very kind-hearted,” Fan Mingyu smiled. Jiang Zhenhuan had been quiet until now but said in a serious tone: “The young lady is good. Knowing that you’re a single dad with a son, she didn’t despise you.” The old lady glared at him fiercely: If you can’t speak properly, then shut up. Why say these things at such a happy time? “Has Xiaowu not come back?” Jiang Yanting looked at the time. It was almost time for dinner. “He said he’s having dinner with Wanwan outside and watching a movie before coming back. Let’s eat first,” the old lady said, smiling. ... But after dinner, the old lady was still eager to urge him to hurry up and bring his little great-grandson back. “I’m going upstairs to tidy up a bit, and then I’ll head over,” Jiang Yanting said and headed upstairs. This made the old lady frown. What need is there to tidy up just to pick up a child? “Maybe he wants to spruce himself up a bit,” Fan Mingyu said with a laugh. “Working all day, he looks a bit tired.” Jiang Zhenhuan just snorted lightly, “So vain.” The old lady frowned, “Back when you and Mingyu went on dates, you even dressed up in a white suit, had your dad specially buy you a pair of leather shoes, and used half a jar of his hair wax, slicking back your hair. Weren’t you being vain?” Jiang Zhenhuan suddenly felt utterly embarrassed... * About ten minutes later, Jiang Yanting came downstairs, carrying a suitcase. “Yanting? What is this...” Fan Mingyu asked suspiciously. “Aren’t you guys worried about leaving Jiangjiang there alone with her? I’ll also stay over tonight. That should put your minds at ease, right?” What kind of sly move is this? Even old Mr. Tang and the old lady were shocked. It was obviously just an excuse to use Jiangjiang’s name to stay over at her place, as they had never realized he could be so crafty!
