Li Mei looked at Jiang Zhen and nodded affirmatively. “Jiang Zhen, you should know An’an’s situation very well. I want to ask you now. What do you think of Jiang Yi and Jiang Yu?”
Jiang Zhen looked at Li Mei and said sincerely, “CEO Jiang, Madam, I know you’ll definitely be worried that I’ll be unfair. I can give you an affirmative answer here. If An’an is willing to be with me, I’m alright with not having my own biological children.”
Li Mei and Jiang Hai looked at each other in shock.
In the thousands of years of tradition in China, carrying on the bloodline was a big deal for a family. It took a lot of courage for a man to be willing to risk the strange gazes of others to ignore secular prejudice for a woman.
Jiang Hai picked up his teacup and took another sip. Then, he said slowly, “Whether she gives birth to your children or not is a matter for the future.
Since you like An’an, hurry up and take some practical actions. Otherwise, she will go overseas to film next Monday.”
Jiang Zhen sensed the urgency of Jiang Hai and Li Mei’s actions and felt that it was a little strange. After hesitating for a moment, he didn’t ask, “Okay, I will.”
When Jiang An entered the house, Jiang Hai had already changed the topic and was discussing business with Jiang Zhen. Li Mei was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Jiang An handed her bag to the servant and walked into the living room to greet them. “Dad, Brother Jiang Zhen.”
When Jiang Hai saw his daughter return, his face was full of smiles. “Yo, you’re home more than an hour earlier than usual.”
Jiang An smiled and sat down beside Jiang Hai. “Brother Jiang Zhen came to our house as a guest today. My mother has already held my ear and reminded me several times.”
Jiang Zhen smiled and lowered his eyes. From the corner of his eye, he kept looking at Jiang An’s cute and innocent posture. He recalled his conversation with Jiang Hai and his wife just now, and beads of sweat appeared on his palm.
When Jiang Hai saw the main character appear, he found an excuse to leave first. “An’an, accompany Jiang Zhen and chat for a while. Today, your mother insisted on cooking personally. I’m not at ease. I’ll go and keep an eye on her.”
Jiang An didn’t think too much about it. She smiled and teased, “Go, go. With you accompanying her, my mother’s dishes will definitely look and taste better.”
Jiang Hai glared at Jiang An and reminded her again, “Treat him well.”
Jiang An watched as her father walked towards the kitchen. She turned around and saw the mint jelly on the coffee table. Her eyes lit up. She picked up a piece and placed it in her mouth. Then, she called out, “Brother Jiang Zhen, quickly try this mint cold cake. I especially like it.”
Jiang Zhen smiled and picked up another piece. “Okay.”
“I heard that you’re going to join the production team for filming soon. My place is in the neighborhood slightly past your house. CEO Jiang asked me to familiarize myself with the environment in Jingdu City and rest for a few days.
You set off on Monday. I happen to still be free. I’ll send you to the airport.”
Jiang An’s chewing on the jelly slowed down, and she couldn’t help but wonder why the errand of sending her to the airport was like a hot cake. She laughed dryly a few times. “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. My manager has already arranged it.”
Jiang Zhen thought that Jiang An was embarra.s.sed to trouble him, so he said, “It’s not troublesome. It’s not far anyway.”
Li Mei and Jiang Hai walked into the living room.
Li Mei was just worried about how to get the two of them together. When she heard this, she immediately made the decision. “That’s right. Our families don’t live far away. Besides, Jiang Zhen is one of us. What trouble is there?”
“An’an, tell Zhao Bing that there’s no need to arrange for a car to pick you up.”
Jiang An turned to look at Li Mei, hinting at the rejection in her heart with her eyes frantically.
Of course, Li Mei pretended not to see it. She turned to Jiang Hai and asked, “Where’s that third brat? It’s almost time to eat. Why isn’t he back yet? Call him and urge him.”
“I’m here, I’m here! It’s such a joyous occasion for my brother to be transferred to Jingdu City. How can I be absent?” Jiang Huai appeared in front of everyone as he spoke.
Jiang Huai walked up to Jiang Zhen and stretched out a fist to hit his shoulder. He said happily, “I told you to come over long ago, but you insisted on guarding Xiyun. Now, you’ve finally thought it through. You want to experience the rich and charming Jingdu City. You should stay here for a long time in the future, right?”
The corners of Jiang Zhen’s mouth curled up slightly. He quickly glanced at Jiang An and looked at his good friend before replying, “It should be.”
Li Mei looked at the time and realized that the soup in the kitchen was ready. “Let’s eat. Let’s go to the dining room and sit down. We’ll talk while eating
later..”
