Peng Cuiying smiled even more broadly, holding Jiang Yiran's hand and saying, "Our Ranran was born on August 20th, 1968."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuzhu jumped up excitedly and took two steps toward Jiang Yiran.

Jiang Yiran was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

If Bai Yuzhu really takes her in as her goddaughter, then she will be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.

She will be just like Jiang Rou in the future, not only able to wear gold and silver and eat and drink well, but also able to drive a car.

Then she wouldn't need to wait for Qin Haiyang to become the richest man before she could crush Jiang Qiaoqiao under her feet.

Bai Yuzhu gripped Jiang Yiran's hands tightly, looked her up and down excitedly, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay!"

"Ranran, your birthday is the same day as our Rourou's! What a coincidence! Dear child, would you like to be Auntie's goddaughter?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yiran was overjoyed, but she humbly replied, "Auntie, I don't want to be as outstanding as Sister Jiang Rou. Would it be alright if I became your daughter...?"

Bai Yuzhu interrupted Jiang Yiran with feigned reproach, "You child! Still being modest with your aunt. I heard Chengzhi say that you ran a shop while pregnant, managing everything inside and out."

"If you're not good enough, how much better do you want to be?"

"Besides, Auntie wants to adopt you as her goddaughter because she likes you as a person, not because she thinks you're outstanding or not!"

"Godmother!" After hearing Bai Yuzhu's words, Jiang Yiran immediately called her godmother.

Bai Yuzhu didn't react for a moment. After a slight pause, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, and she quickly replied, "Yes!"

At this moment, Jiang Guozhi also stood up and said, "Director Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, let's go out to a state-run restaurant tonight for a meal, which can be considered as Ranran's family reunion banquet with us."

Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying were naturally excited and nodded repeatedly.

Bai Yuzhu held Jiang Yiran's hand tightly, reluctant to let go. "Ranran, your godmother came in a bit of a rush and didn't expect to meet you. I didn't bring you any gifts. Here, come out with your godmother now, and I'll pick out a gift for you."

"Godmother, no need, that would be too much of a burden for you..." Jiang Yiran was overjoyed, but declined on the surface.

"You silly child, why are you being so polite with your godmother?" Bai Yuzhu said, pulling Jiang Yiran with one hand and Jiang Rou with the other. "Rou Rou, you have good taste. Come with me and pick out a good gift for Ranran."

"Okay," Jiang Rou replied with a generous and appropriate smile.

But when no one was looking, his gaze swept over Qin Haiyang.

The moment Qin Haiyang's eyes met hers, he quickly lowered his head, focusing on his inner thoughts.

He never expected that Bai Yuzhu and Jiang Guozhi would like Jiang Yiran so much that they wanted to take her as their goddaughter as soon as they met and even gave her gifts.

If he had known this would happen, why did he even try to seduce Jiang Rou?

After Jiang Yiran and Qin Haiyang went out to buy things with the Jiang family, Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying surrounded Jiang Yongxian on either side.

"Boss, why didn't you bring your daughter-in-law back with you this time?" Peng Cuiying asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

Jiang Jiahua glared at her directly, "My daughter-in-law was born and raised in Beicheng. How can she adapt to a small place like ours?"

Asking all sorts of irrelevant questions.

Peng Cuiying shrank back after being scolded by Jiang Jiahua, but still couldn't help muttering, "What daughter-in-law doesn't see her parents-in-law? Even if she's from Beicheng, she should still come back and meet us..."

Jiang Jiahua glared at Peng Cuiying again, and Peng Cuiying quickly shut up.

Jiang Jiahua then asked Jiang Yongxian, "Boss, what brings you back this time?"

“Dad, I wasn’t supposed to come back, but my father-in-law helped me get back so that the Jiang family could buy the cement factory.”

Jiang Jiahua was slightly shocked when he heard Jiang Yongxian's words. "Isn't that just a cement factory that has been losing money for several years? How come it's suddenly so important that even our in-laws have been alerted?"

Jiang Yongxian glanced around warily and saw that the courtyard gate and his own house door were both closed.

He lowered his voice and said, "Dad, the cement factory lost money in the past few years because the opportunity hadn't arrived yet. Now that the opportunity has arrived, the cement factory is like a pig standing on the wind. Whoever owns the factory is its money-printing machine..."

After briefly explaining the national policy of vigorously developing real estate and infrastructure to Jiang Jiahua, Jiang Yongxian lowered his voice and asked, "Dad, think about it, whether it's building houses or paving bridges and roads, which one can do without cement?"

Jiang Jiahua nodded in deep agreement, "Dad understands."

"Dad, the cement plant in our Yun County is the largest cement plant in the southwest region of our country. Moreover, we have abundant limestone resources here, which greatly reduces the production cost of cement."

When Uncle Jiang mentioned arranging a meeting between you and Huo Beixiao, you seemed a bit hesitant. Is it because Huo Beixiao isn't interested in selling?"

Jiang Jiahua didn't intend to hide this from his eldest son. He took a drag of his cigarette and nodded.

Jiang Yongxian frowned and said unhappily, "Dad, whether the Jiang family can buy the cement factory is not only related to our family's finances, but also to my and my father-in-law's promotions."

This is a major event for our family. If Huo Beixiao doesn't agree, you'll have to talk to Jiang Qiaoqiao and ask her to find a way to get Huo Beixiao to agree. If she can't even handle something this simple, what's the point of Ranran giving her such a good marriage opportunity?

Upon hearing Jiang Yongxian's words, Jiang Jiahua knew that he was still unaware that Jiang Qiaoqiao had severed ties with them.
