Chapter 214: Spring Thoughts
"Liu Zhiqing."
Liu Niannian shuddered, turned her head, forced a stiff smile, and greeted, "Hello, cousin-in-law."
"We are not familiar with each other, so please call me Comrade Jiang."
"Cousin-in-law..."
Liu Niannian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Ye, "Thank you, Liu Zhiqing, for saving Jiaojiao yesterday."
"No need to thank me, Jiaojiao and I are cousins after all."
The sentimental words were ruthlessly exposed by Jiang Ye the next second, "Really? Liu Zhiqing, why did I hear my daughter Jiaojiao say that she has cut ties with you?"
Liu Niannian choked and quickly replied, "Watch..."
Under Jiang Ye's cold gaze, Liu Niannian changed her words and said, "Comrade Jiang Ye, this is all a misunderstanding."
"I don't know if it's a misunderstanding or not, but I know that my Jiaojiao doesn't like you and doesn't want to see you."
To be frank, Liu Niannian looked a little embarrassed.
"By the way, why is Liu Zhiqing coming to the school gate instead of eating at the Zhiqing camp at this time?" Jiang Ye spoke immediately.
Liu Niannian, who knew Jiang Ye was secretly hitting him, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "I've been working all morning and my mind is a little confused. I don't know how I got here."
"It's getting late. I'll go back first."
After saying that, Liu Niannian left in a hurry, as if she was afraid that Jiang Ye would make things difficult for her again, as if there was a vicious dog chasing her.
Liu Niannian's dishonesty and her fleeing figure made Jiang Ye even more defensive.
It seems that the decision to let Jiaojiao wait for him in the office was the right one.
Jiang Ye withdrew his gaze and walked towards the office without any further delay.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps interrupted the conversation between Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Lan. They both looked out at the same time, and Jiang Ye's tall figure came into view.
"Aye." Xie Jiaojiao stood up and said in a playful tone.
"Ouch." Jiang Lan frantically protected Xie Jiaojiao's belly, her eyebrows knitted together, "Sister, take it easy."
"You are not alone now, you have two bodies, so you can't be careless."
Jiang Lan kept muttering, making Xie Jiaojiao blush. She was still not used to her current identity.
Xie Jiaojiao subconsciously stood up straight, looking like a well-behaved student who was about to be scolded.
Only then did Jiang Ye come over and rescue her from Jiang Lan's saliva.
"Jiaojiao, I'll take you home."
After she finished speaking, Jiang Lan manually zipped up her mouth and closed it tightly.
Jiang Ye spoke up and thanked him sincerely.
Jiang Lan waved her hands repeatedly, "No need to thank me, it's my duty as a godmother to take care of my daughter."
"Godmother?" Jiang Ye was surprised and looked at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, "Lanlan protects me, so it's not too much to be the godmother of the child."
Jiang Ye, however, glanced at Jiang Lan meaningfully. When Jiang Lan couldn't control herself and started to run away, he said leisurely, "I have no objection to you being my godmother."
Jiang Lan had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Ye say to Xie Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, second brother is not planning on getting married? Just living with Zixuan like this?"
Jiang Ye suddenly asked this, and Xie Jiaojiao was a little confused, but she still said obediently: "I don't know."
"But with what happened to my ex-sister-in-law, and Xuanxuan still around, I'm afraid my second brother won't marry again easily."
"What?" Jiang Lan suddenly grabbed Xie Jiaojiao's arm excitedly, "Jiaojiao, your second brother... is divorced?"
Xie Jiaojiao was startled by Jiang Lan's excited bloodshot eyes. After a long pause, she nodded in response to Jiang Lan's hopeful gaze.
"Yeah, divorced."
After getting the expected answer, Jiang Lan let go of her hand and trembled with joy.
"Lanlan, what's wrong with you?" Xie Jiaojiao asked in confusion, looking at Jiang Lan who was obviously not well.
Xie Jiaojiao's curious question cleared Jiang Lan's mind, which was confused by the news.
When Jiang Lan realized what she had just done, she covered her face with her hands and ran away.
Xie Jiaojiao's eyes widened as she tilted her head to look at Jiang Ye and asked hesitantly, "Lanlan, what's wrong with her?"
When Jiang Lan came to his house for the first time, Jiang Ye was a little suspicious that this girl Jiang Lan was interested in his second uncle, but it was their first meeting after all, so Jiang Ye didn't dare to think too much about it.
Later, Xie Jiaojiao went to school and would talk to him about school matters every day when she came back. It was from Xie Jiaojiao's mouth that Jiang Ye became more certain of his guess.
It was not until the explosion just now that it was confirmed.
Jiang Lan likes her second uncle Xie Jianjun.
Jiang Ye didn't think about whether they were a good match or whether it would work out. He only knew that no matter whether it worked out or not, his second uncle would be busy.
Jiang Ye is very narrow-minded.
Although he was the one who asked Xie Jianjun to take action yesterday, he never said that he would not bear a grudge after the beating.
Jiang Ye didn't want Xie Jiaojiao to worry about those things, so he pretended to be dumb and said, "I don't know. Maybe I've been waiting for a long time. Are you hungry?"
"Hungry?" Xie Jiaojiao looked at the oil-paper bag and pastry crumbs in the trash can and muttered, "I don't think so, do I?"
They had obviously eaten, and besides, she wasn't hungry.
But apart from this reason, there seems to be no other reason.
Xie Jiaojiao believed this explanation for the time being. Just as she was walking to the office door holding Jiang Ye's hand, Jiang Lan ran back.
She put her hands on the door and panted, "Jiaojiao, I don't want to be our daughter's godmother anymore."
After saying that, Jiang Lan ran away quickly again, fearing that Xie Jiaojiao would ask more questions.
clang.
The vegetable basin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Jiang Guo rubbed his eyes and looked at Jiang Lan in disbelief as she flashed back and forth.
"Nier, what have you been doing?" Jiang Guo walked to Jiang Lan, who was holding the door and gasping for breath, and asked curiously with his hands behind the old man's back.
Jiang Lan shuddered and subconsciously leaned against the door, denying, "Dad, I didn't do anything."
Meeting Jiang Guo's eyes that said "Do you think I believe it or not?", Jiang Lan pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly.
"Well, Dad, I'm thirsty. Let me go inside and drink some water first."
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Something's wrong! Something's wrong!
This girl must be hiding something from him.
Jiang Guo was just about to follow and ask more when he heard someone shouting from the kitchen: "What are you doing, old man? Did you fall into the pit while washing vegetables?"
"I'll be right there." Jiang Guo's face darkened. He didn't bother looking for Jiang Lan. He picked up the vegetables that fell on the ground and walked into the kitchen.
Luo Fenglian couldn't stand Jiang Guo's procrastination, so she snatched the vegetable bowl and drove him out of the kitchen.
"Get out of the way, you're in the way."
Jiang Guo, who was kicked out, squeezed in again with a questioning look on his face, "Old lady, I think there's something wrong with our girl."
Luo Fenglian took a long time to simmer the spoon and replied, "It would be strange if it was right."
"Every day he comes home and locks himself in his room, either distracted or in a daze. He's probably thinking about sex."
"Thinking of love?" Jiang Guo raised his voice, but was glared back at by Luo Fenglian.
"Shut up! If you get any louder, your daughter will be hiding something even deeper. She's found a gangster without telling you. You'll be in trouble soon."
Jiang Guo's face looked as ugly as if he was constipated.
"You don't know who it is?"
Luo Fenglian rolled her eyes. "I want to know, how can you still sit still? If it were a boy, I would have sent you to find someone to act as a matchmaker."
"Watch! You have to watch closely! Not only that, you have to ask a few questions from time to time. I absolutely cannot have a gangster son-in-law." Jiang Guo gritted his teeth.
