Chapter 155 The Richest Man’s Braised Egg

Shi Wanrou also noticed Jiang Yunyao's mood. She glanced at her son lightly and picked up a card at random.

"If you want to have a baby, you can have one. If you don't want to have a baby, you don't have to have one."

Mrs. Zhou realized she had said the wrong thing and said hurriedly, "They say raising children is a way to prepare for old age, but in a family like ours, it doesn't matter whether we have children or not!"

"That's true," Shi Wanrou said to Xie Yixing, changing the subject, "If your father and I hadn't wanted to have a child, you wouldn't have been born."

Xie Yixing: “…”

Why did the topic turn to him?

After listening to Ms. Shi's speech, Jiang Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized that there was something wrong in her words.

Mr. Xie is not Ms. Shi's biological child, so what about Xie Li? Normally, shouldn't it be "If your father and I hadn't wanted to have a child, you and Xiaoli wouldn't have been born"?

Is it because Xie Li was not there, so she was not mentioned; or is it because Xie Li was not Ms. Shi’s biological child?

The former is fine, but if it's the latter...

Jiang Yunyao stopped playing quickly and focused on the cards.

[Holy crap! Xiao Xie doesn't even want a child, and his mother doesn't ask for one either. Is this the wealthy family I imagined?!]

[Stop talking, I'm going to be jealous! It's so great to be rich. I don't even have to worry about retirement!]

【Based on historical development and the habits of the animal kingdom, I believe that childbearing is not for the purpose of providing for the elderly, but rather a form of natural selection!】

I agree with the previous comment: a life without children is incomplete! But I don't have any money, so if my life is incomplete, then it's fine!

[Regarding the issue of fertility, Emperor Lu and Wanwan have discussed it. They both want a child. I thought Jiang Xie and the others wanted the same thing!]

[Hahaha, Xiao Xie must have felt that having a child wouldn't be enough to play games, and would only hinder his and Jiang Yunyao's duo queueing, which is why he didn't want to have a child!]

Mrs. Zhou found that the issue of childbirth was prone to triggering problems, so she quickly changed the subject and talked about food safety.

"More and more people are ordering takeout now, and I've seen a lot of posts about hygiene issues at takeout restaurants. The food in those pictures doesn't look right!"

Shi Wanrou hit the nail on the head, "This industry lacks supervision and competition. I remember that the Jiang family opened a food delivery platform and was reported two days ago."

Xie Yixing didn't care about social news and hadn't met with his friends for a long time. He was a little confused about these things.

He asked, "Is this Jiang Yue's family?"

Shi Wanrou does not interfere with her son's friendships, but she also hopes that he can see the other person's character clearly.

"It's his family. Their company exploits workers, and there's been a lot of evidence recently. If it weren't for the higher-ups sending people to investigate, they wouldn't have bothered to correct their behavior."

Xie Yixing stood up for Jiang Yue and said, "Uncle Jiang should have let Jiang Yue take over earlier. If Jiang Yue was in charge of the company, these things would definitely not have happened!"

Ms. Shi was shocked by her silly son's words: "..."

What she said was so obvious, she was just short of saying that the Jiang family had bad character, but this stupid son actually thought that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Yue?

If she remembered correctly, the food delivery platform created by the Jiang family was fully participated in and promoted by Jiang Yue. How could he be innocent?

Ms. Shi sighed.

Jiang Yunyao remembered Xiao Nuo's reminder and saw Wanwan's wound with her own eyes, so she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Yue.

However, since the two parties did not interfere with each other, there was no need for her to say anything bad about them, so she did not participate in the discussion.

[Who is Jiang Yue? Why does he sound familiar to me?]

[The one above, you're a fake fan! Jiang Yue is the one who scratched Wanwan's arm! ]

[This Jiang family is so annoying! What kind of food delivery company do they own? I need to avoid them!]

Xiao Xie is so naive! Even after such a thing happened to the Jiang family, why does he think Jiang Yue is fine?

[It's very simple! Either it's a friend filter, or Jiang Yue is really fine! ]

I think Jiang Yue accidentally scratched Wanwan. Afterwards, he apologized sincerely and rushed to see a doctor. He doesn't look like someone with bad intentions at all!

Even if Jiang Yue is innocent, I won't buy Jiang's products anymore!

Jiang and Xie had not played mahjong much and were in the novice protection period, so they won two games in a row at the beginning.

After they understood the rules, their luck turned bad again and they lost all the money they had won.

The two of them kept losing all the way. It was almost noon and the mahjong game was about to be disbanded. God, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally let them win.

In the afternoon, Shi Wanrou called the designer and stylist to tailor-make dresses for Jiang and Xie. They were busy until the evening, when Mr. Xie came back for dinner.

Old Xie's full name is Xie Jun. He is usually serious and has a handsome face. When it doesn't involve issues of principle, he takes a laissez-faire attitude towards Xie Yixing and the others.

Xie Yeting looks like him and has the same style of doing things as him. When the two stand together, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are father and son!

Xie Jun doesn't like to talk while eating, but he won't disturb Shi Wanrou and the others. He just listens to them quietly.

Before Jiang Zhanming took everyone to buy eggs, he took into consideration that Jiang Xie and his wife would come here, so he specially pickled some for his in-laws and asked them to bring them over.

Shi Wanrou took a bite of the braised egg and tasted the mellow aroma she had been longing for. Her beautiful phoenix eyes lit up.

She swallowed the braised egg in her mouth and said to Jiang Yunyao, "Asheng and his friends still make the best pickled ones. Even if the chef at home follows Asheng's recipe, he can't make it taste like that!"

Jiang Yunyao smiled and said, "If you like it, we can pickle more and bring it over next time!"

Shi Wanrou was not the type to spoil a good time, so she immediately agreed to what she said, "Okay!"

The production crew didn't dare to shoot Xie Jun's face directly, so they pointed the camera at the two people who were talking, and also gave a close-up of Lu Dan, the protagonist of the topic.

[Oh my! Look at the shine and color, it's been pickled so evenly!]

Damn it! I just followed the recipe, but why is my pickled pork so mediocre?!

[You must not have followed the live broadcast earlier. That day, Jiang's father and mother and I worked together to make the pickled eggs, and they turned out perfect!]

[What I'm saying is, now I can eat the same braised eggs as celebrities! ]

Please don't lower the value of our eggs! This is the same style as the richest man!

[Isn't that right? Why do I remember the richest man wasn't Mr. Xie? I think his last name is He, or something like He Shang?]

[Shang? This word is so unlucky! What kind person would give their child such a name?]

[Don't you know? The Xie family donates a large sum of money to charity every year. In terms of personal assets, no one from the Xie family has ever made it into the top five!]

[Holy crap! This is a pretty big sum, right? With the Xie family's revenue, there's no way they wouldn't be in the top five!]

[This situation is really different! That He Shang, although he's very rich, I guess all he has left is money!]

The Xie family was having dinner when the housekeeper Uncle Chang hurried over and looked at Xie Jun respectfully.

"Sir, someone came to the old house and said they want the eldest young master, the young master, and... the eldest young master's son to go to the old house."

Xie Jun's expression suddenly turned cold. "Let that man go back and tell him one last time that we have nothing to do with them."

When Shi Wanrou heard Uncle Chang's report, her face turned ugly. When she saw Xie Jun's attitude, her expression improved slightly, but she was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Xie Jun and Shi Wanrou were not very happy about the disturbance caused by the people in the old house. They had a simple dinner and went back to their rooms.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, it was time to go to bed, and the production crew stopped filming.

Jiang Yunyao lay on the bed, looking at the dark sky. Unable to sleep, she pulled at Xie Yixing's quilt.

"Xie Yixing, does the Xie family still have an old house?"

Xie Yixing didn't want to hide it from her. He rested his head on his arm and told her all the old stories.

"Yes. He's the owner of the old house. According to blood relationship, I should call him 'Grandpa'."

"But a long time ago, when I was little, that person didn't even acknowledge my existence and even hated my mother."

"That person thought that my mother seduced my father, and that's why my father divorced Aunt Murong."

Jiang Yunyao had previously known that Mr. Xie and he were half-brothers, and after hearing this, she almost had the answer.

She asked, "The 'Aunt Murong' you mentioned is Mr. Xie's mother?"

Xie Yixing hummed, his thoughts drifting away, "Aunt Murong is just like my dad. She has someone she loves, and she was also forced by her family to marry my dad."

"That person wanted the heir to the Xie family, so he drugged Aunt Murong and my father, and that's how my brother was born."

"Later, my father gained absolute say in the Xie family, so he divorced Aunt Murong, and Aunt Murong married the man she loved."

"Later, Aunt Murong and her husband had an accident, so my parents brought Xiaoli, who was a little over one year old, back home."

Jiang Yunyao: “?!”

Xie Li really isn't Ms. Shi's biological daughter?!

Xie Yixing thought of something, turned around and looked at her nervously.

"Jiang Yunyao, don't tell Xiaoli about this. We must keep it a secret until she graduates from university!"

Jiang Yunyao gestured "OK" in the darkness. "Don't worry, when it comes to listening to top secrets like this, I have the memory of a fish. I forget everything I hear!"
