Chapter 25 Miss Xu is doing well!
In the ward
Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai stood in front of Zhang Wan's bed, holding hands. Zhang Wan looked sick, but her eyes were full of smiles.
He has a handsome appearance, good looks, impeccable temperament and manners, and is a rare talent.
"Hello, Mom. I'm Jiang Shibai. I'm 29 years old and currently the CEO of Jiang Group. I have a simple family background and no bad habits. I own a house, a car, and savings." Jiang Shibai bent down slightly, his face slightly tense, his heart beating fast.
This was the opening line in the guide to meeting his mother-in-law for the first time that he had specifically searched online last night.
Xu Xian suppressed the urge to laugh. It was the first time she saw Jiang Shibai, a powerful figure in the business world, nervous. When signing a contract worth tens of billions, he remained calm and composed throughout the whole process without even blinking an eye.
It was clearly just a meeting with the parents, but it felt like introducing myself at a job interview.
Unlike Xu Xian, Zhang Wan likes honest guys. She can feel Jiang Shibai's sincerity from the bottom of his heart.
One would only be nervous if he cared about someone, which undoubtedly showed that he cared about her daughter, or that he liked her daughter.
However, thinking of his identity, Zhang Wan glanced at her daughter. She had mentioned his superior at first, but unexpectedly it was the boss. It was obvious that their family was marrying up from such a prominent family.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control her daughter because of such an outstanding man, and she was also afraid that the man's family would not accept her precious daughter.
"Don't be so nervous, my mother is not the interviewer." Xu Xian finally found an opportunity to tease Jiang Shibai, his eyebrows curved.
Jiang Shibai also knew that he had overreacted a little. Facing the teasing of the people around him, he felt a little helpless, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.
"Xianxian, how dare you talk like that? Shibai does value us." Zhang Wan scolded Xu Xian neither lightly nor harshly.
Xu Xian curled his lips. He started to defend her right after they met. No wonder there was a saying on the Internet that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.
"Mom, I am your precious daughter."
The first time Jiang Shibai saw Xu Xian acting coquettishly, he softened his voice deliberately, which felt sweet to the bone. It was as if an electric current spread from his tailbone to every part of his body, and the tips of his ears felt hot.
"Xianxian is a good person, and we have always gotten along in this way." Jiang Shibai spoke to defend Xu Xian, his voice gentle, soft and polite.
Zhang Wan was very satisfied with his behavior in defending his daughter, and asked directly, "Does your family agree to your marriage with Xianxian?"
She still wanted to ask clearly, even though they had already obtained the marriage certificate.
Jiang Shibai was able to sit on the throne of the Jiang Group and become the helmsman of the Jiang family. Naturally, he understood the ways of the world and immediately understood what she meant.
"My grandma is looking forward to meeting Xianxian, and has been asking me about his preferences these days." Jiang Shibai did not give a direct answer, but instead focused on the details to alleviate her concerns.
He didn't lie. A few days ago, the old lady called him to ask about Xu Xian's preferences. He heard that the whole family was busy these days in the old house. They did a thorough cleaning and even updated the menu for Saturday dinner several times.
The level of importance attached to it is extraordinary.
Zhang Wan felt relieved that the person who had the final say in the family liked her daughter. As their family was not short of money, there wouldn't be too many family conflicts.
But as a mother, how can I not worry?
"I see the sun is about to set. Shibai, push me to take a walk in the garden downstairs. Xianxian, you go to the hospital cafeteria to find Aunt Wan and see if she needs any help." Zhang Wan glanced at the setting sun outside the window and sent Xu Xian away.
The hospital has a canteen that provides meals cooked by patients' families. Aunt Wan is an excellent soup-maker and often makes soup for Zhang Wan downstairs.
On weekdays before dark, Aunt Wan would push Zhang Wan downstairs for a walk and breathe fresh air.
Xu Xian didn't understand her mother's purpose in sending her away. Just as she was about to ask, someone gently pinched her fingers. She raised her eyes and saw the man shaking his head slightly at her.
"Okay, I'll take you downstairs for a walk." Jiang Shibai let go of Xu Xian's hand and helped Zhang Wan sit in the wheelchair.
An entire floor was filled with cancer patients. Many of them chose to go downstairs for a walk in the evening. They knew each other and met an old lady who was also in a wheelchair at the elevator entrance. She looked pale but very talkative.
"Xiao Zhang! Is this young man your son?" The old lady was stunned when she saw Jiang Shibai pushing the wheelchair. She had obviously never seen him before. The young man was handsome and eye-catching.
He is about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a well-tailored suit. He looks extremely noble and you can tell at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.
"Aunt Qiao, this is my son-in-law." Zhang Wan greeted him with a smile, looking extremely pleased.
The two wards were separated by a wall. The days in the hospital were boring, so they often chatted together and knew a little about each other's family situation.
"Son-in-law? Doesn't Xianxian even have a boyfriend?" Grandma Qiao was shocked and rolled her eyes at Jiang.
Jiang Shibai couldn't ignore her gaze and nodded politely.
"We just started dating a few months ago and got married when we felt it was right." Zhang Wan didn't mention the specific time and passed it vaguely.
Talking about getting married for two months seemed too casual about their marriage, so they didn't want to say it directly to avoid gossip.
"Oh! You are so lucky! This young man is so handsome. He looks like a talented person. Where does he work?" Grandma Qiao asked curiously.
Old people love to hear some gossip, so they are naturally curious about the newly unlocked character Jiang Shibai.
Zhang Wan didn't want to reveal Jiang Shibai's true identity, so she said ambiguously, "He works in the same unit as Xianxian."
"That's great, and you can look after me in my career. I originally wanted to introduce my grandson to your daughter! But it seems we are not destined to be in-laws." Grandma Qiao looked regretful.
She quite liked the little girl Xu Xian. She was pretty, gentle and polite, and had a good job. She was more than a match for her grandson who had returned from studying abroad.
I didn't expect that she was married, mainly because this man was no less capable than her grandson.
When Jiang Shibai heard this, a dark light flashed across his dark eyes. He raised his eyebrows at Xu Xian with interest, and his expression was self-evident.
He deliberately lowered his voice, leaned down to Xu Xian's ear, and whispered softly, "Miss Xu is in good shape!"
The two of them were close to each other, and the man's hot breath sprayed all over Xu Xian's earlobe, itching and burning, making her shiver.
"I don't know, don't guess blindly." Xu Xian stepped back slightly and defended himself.
She had only met Grandma Qiao a few times and couldn't influence her thoughts.
The look in his eyes seemed to say that she was a married woman who was cheating on her husband and was slandering his innocence for no reason.
"I didn't guess anything!" Jiang Shibai curled his lips slightly, looking innocent.
He likes Xu Xian's lively look.
Xu Xian's eyes flickered when he saw this. He silently extended his fingers to the man's waist. As he didn't dare to make a sound, he simply twisted his hard flesh.
A narrow-minded man.
Her strength didn't hurt Jiang Shibai at all, but his waist was really sensitive. His expression changed slightly, and there was a dark glint in his eyes as he looked at Xu Xian.
When the elevator arrived at the floor, Zhang Wan didn't want to talk too much about family matters outside, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Grandma Qiao and signaled Jiang Shibai to push her into the elevator.
After reaching the first floor, Xu Xian and the other two went to the cafeteria separately.
