Chapter 268: 188, the little Jiang Family tsundere, this ghost is hidden too deep
Jiang Family
Tang Wan descended from upstairs, Jiangjiang was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, his head lowered playing with a Rubik’s cube, yet his gaze continually fell on his little cellphone.
Today, Tang Yunxian would be returning from Pingjiang. He probably didn’t want to spend New Year’s at the Jiang Family. He had always been a bother to them, accruing quite a bit of social debt, fearing it could never be completely repaid.
Now, with the situation between Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang, any father looking at his son-in-law, even if the man’s credentials were exceptional, couldn’t help but be critical. But given his current predicant, wanting to find fault with Jinsang was out of the question; after all, he owed that family so much…
Before departing, he had a long chat with his own father, simply not wanting to be a disturbance here, but in the end, he was still defeated by failure.
He could only return to Pingjiang to handle his affairs, striving to co back earlier.
“Auntie,” Jiangjiang greeted Tang Wan warmly as usual when he saw her co downstairs.
“Back already? How did you sleep last night after staying out?” Tang Wan squatted down, examining his face. The place where he had been hit yesterday wasn’t very noticeable, but today it had swollen terribly.
“Very well.”
“Does your face hurt?”
“Not anymore,” Jiangjiang said, his eyes continuously glancing at the doorway and his phone.
“Waiting for soone? Or a phone call?”
“How could that be!” Jiangjiang’s voice suddenly grew louder. Fan Mingyu, sitting to the side cutting roses, was also drawn by his abrupt outburst.
A child can’t conceal so many secrets; everything is written on their face, plain as day.
Tang Wan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and Jiangjiang bit his lip, glancing at his phone. “It looks like my phone is out of power, I need to go charge it.”
After saying that, he ran upstairs with his phone in his arms.
“This child…” Fan Mingyu set down her scissors and placed the bouquet in a wide-mouthed glass vase, reaching out to adjust it. “He’s charged his phone four tis just this morning. Actually, we’ve always been worried about finding a partner for Yanting; we’re concerned because Jiangjiang is still young and children are sensitive…”
“I understand,” Tang Wan nodded. Although her situation with Jiangjiang was different, she also had similar experiences.
“I didn’t expect him to like the Xie Family’s child so much…”
Tang Wan stood beside her, helping to clean up the clippings from the table. It seed that the second master hadn’t yet co clean to the family about his matters with Shen Zhixian. Naturally, she wouldn’t say too much, only remarking.
“Teacher Shen has a pretty good personality.”
“You’ve t?” Fan Mingyu was surprised, “Tell , what kind of person is he?”
People who hadn’t t him were naturally curious. During the previous matchmaking, the Xie Family had shown a photo, but that alone couldn’t reveal his character. She was also worried, if she and Jiang Yanting truly beca a couple, what if it was bad for Jiangjiang?
“We have a working relationship,” Tang Wan selectively shared so details with Fan Mingyu.
anwhile, upstairs, Jiangjiang lay on his bed staring blankly at his phone. It had been so long; why was there still no call?
Jiangjiang wasn’t clingy; he was just terrified that everything that had happened yesterday was just a dream, that Shen Zhixian had only made a fleeting visit and would disappear again.
He hesitated but ultimately dialed the number, his entire body leaping up from the bed, staring intensely at his phone, ready for battle…

At that ti at the Xie Family
The news that Jiang Yanting had stayed overnight at Shen Zhixian’s place had also reached the Xie Family. Shocked, they wanted to understand how far the relationship between the two had progressed.
“…Last night, it was only Jiangjiang who stayed at my place. Second Master Jiang ca to check because he was worried.” Shen Zhixian kept it tight-lipped.
“Is that all?” The look on Elder Xie’s face seed sowhat disappointed.
He rubbed his knee, angrily slapping his thighs twice, thinking sothing might have happened…
“What else?” Shen Zhixian countered.
“Little miss, grandpa thought you and Second Master might’ve, you know.” Xie Tongtong sat close beside her, resting a hand on her arm, “What’s really going on between you two? Back at the hospital, didn’t you seem quite opposed, saying you didn’t like him? Then suddenly…”
“I guess after seeing his child, I got along quite well with the kid and just had a bit more contact.”
“Do you have feelings for each other? Is there a real possibility of things developing?”
“What’s the matter?” Shen Zhixian didn’t know who the mole in the Xie Family was and, although her face betrayed no emotion, she was discreetly scrutinizing every mber of the Xie Family.
“Big brother is very concerned about this matter!” Xie Tongtong smiled.
“Xie Tongtong!” Xie Duo, sitting on one side, suddenly spoke with a stern tone that was quite intimidating.
