"Xiaoyan is here," someone called from outside the door.
The crowd parted, and Jiang Xiaoyan walked in. The moment she stepped in, she attracted Xie Heng's attention. Although her hair was a little messy and she wasn't dressed up as carefully as Jiang Xiaohong, she had a casual and relaxed feeling.
Her clothes were simple and elegant, but of exceptionally high quality, exuding an indescribable charm. She bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Xiaohong, about six or seven points.
However, it resembles a supremely elegant version of Jiang Xiaohong.
This is what he wanted. Actually, Xie Heng didn't want a scholarly family background; he just wanted the refined and elegant demeanor of a lady from a prominent family.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy in the kitchen and haven't had a chance to say hello. Please don't mind. I'm Xiaohong's older sister, Jiang Xiaoyan." Jiang Xiaoyan said simply. After all, she had accompanied Lu Feng to many important occasions.
Xie Heng sat up straight, his impatience vanishing completely, and said politely, "It's alright, sister, please sit down."
Seeing that his sister had tamed the situation, Jiang Fuqiao and Jiang Fulu quickly took a step back. Song Xuemei hurriedly said, "Xiaoyan should go to university."
Which university did you graduate from?
"Zhejiang University," Jiang Xiaoyan blurted out. That was the only university she knew; it was the one that Tingting had mentioned at the last banquet. Jiang Xiaoyan thought for a moment and said, "Management Department, majoring in Business Administration. I heard you own a factory?"
"A sand quarry, for digging sand!"
"That's not bad either. Your business is a sure thing, it's a low-end industry in the supply chain, but the profit is quite good and the future prospects are very good. The real estate industry is in its infancy now. As the quality of the domestic population improves, the demand for living standards will continue to increase, and there will be a great need for sand."
After Jiang Xiaoyan finished speaking, she felt like she didn't even know what she was saying. She had heard Lu Feng talk about building materials and real estate before, and she just repeated what she remembered.
I feel like I've been corrupted by him too; he's got a whole repertoire of ways to bluff people.
"Ah, yes, that's right!" Xie Heng didn't understand at all, and awkwardly scratched his head.
“My sister just graduated, she’s still young and hasn’t experienced much of society, so please take good care of her.” Jiang Xiaoyan looked at her sister, her heart still on her side.
"Sister, how old are you?" Xie Heng asked.
"I'm twenty-four!"
Xie Heng secretly calculated that Twenty-Four should have graduated a year or two ago.
The atmosphere in the house became much more harmonious. The eldest and second sisters-in-law started serving dishes, and Jiang Xiaoyan became the guest of honor, with her eldest and second brothers keeping her company.
As they ate and drank, Jiang Xiaohong served Xie Heng food. She could sense that this man, whom she had only met a few times, was more passionate towards her sister.
In fact, anyone with eyes at the dinner table can see it.
Jiang Fuqiao kept offering toasts, calling him "brother-in-law" repeatedly with great affection, as if it were already a done deal.
"Brother-in-law, I respect you. A big boss like you would definitely be this big in our county." He gave a thumbs up as he spoke and continued, "Don't underestimate my sister just because she's young. She doesn't suffer any losses. As her older brother, I'm very fair."
“My second brother thinks so too,” Jiang Fulu hurriedly said.
Xie Heng glanced at Jiang Xiaoyan, then at Jiang Xiaohong, put down his wine glass and said, "Feelings are hard to explain. To be honest, the age gap is too big, it's really not good. I think Xiaoyan is nice."
In the end, fueled by alcohol, he told the truth.
The family members' faces stiffened, but they all concealed it well.
"Me?" Jiang Xiaoyan looked surprised and said, "Looks like you've had a bit too much to drink. I'm already married."
"Oh? Then I don't think there's any need to talk about anything."
Just as the eligible bachelor was about to run away, Song Xuemei hurriedly said, "No, don't listen to her nonsense."
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Xiaoyan out of the house.
"Mom, why are you pulling me like this? No matter what, I'm still Xiaohong's sister. How can he say such things after just a few drinks?" Jiang Xiaoyan was a little unhappy.
“We can’t keep up the lie anymore. You went to high school, you’re educated, Xiaohong can’t do that!” Song Xuemei thought for a moment and said, “What a great opportunity! Isn’t this better than that good-for-nothing Lu Feng?”
Jiang Xiaoyan knew that her mother was materialistic and looked down on the poor, but she never expected her to say such a thing. In an instant, she felt that her worldview had been overturned.
