Chapter 252: Not an Outsider

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Hai looked at his wifes enthusiastic expression and quietly pouted. Jiang Zhen is not an outsider. Theres no need for you to welcome him like a guest.

Li Mei secretly rolled her eyes at Jiang Hai with a hint of warning in her eyes.

Jiang Zhen smiled and picked up a piece of jelly. Madam, dont worry. I wont stand on ceremony with you.

The size of the jelly was just right. Jiang Zhen finished it in a bite. It was cool and smooth. Its delicious. It tastes exactly the same as what we have in Xiyun.

Li Mei smiled and nodded. Its good that you like it. Jiang Zhen, I heard from Jiang Hai that before you were transferred to Jingdu City this time, you expressed your willingness to work here, right?

Jiang Zhen replied, Yes, Ive been staying in Xiyun since I was born. Ive always been in charge of the businesses there. Now, I want to come out and take a look.

Jiang Hai nodded affirmatively. Your thinking is right. Young people should interact more with the outside world and learn more. Anan is focused on acting now. My old bones will have to persevere for another two years.

I transferred you here now because 1 want to nurture you when Im in power. I hope you can help Anan secure her position and be her right-hand man in the future like your father helped me.

Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Hai with determination in his eyes. Director Jiang, I understand.

Dont worry. As long as Im around, no one can take Anans position.

Li Mei listened from the side and nodded in her heart. As expected of the son-in-law she had taken a fancy to. Jiang Zhen, youre already in your thirties. I heard from your father that you dont have a girlfriend yet. If 1 remember correctly, you havent been in a relations.h.i.+p, right? Do you not want to fall in love or have you not met anyone suitable?

Jiang Zhen did not expect Li Mei to ask this question and was stunned for a moment. He was worried that Li Mei wanted to introduce someone to him. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his eyes and replied, Madam, I dont want to talk about it yet.

Li Meis heart turned cold. She smiled dryly and decided to work harder. Youre not young anymore. Men want careers but mustnt neglect family. With someone by your side who knows whats good for you, youll be more motivated to work hard.

I know youre busy with work. Tell Auntie what you like. I usually have a lot of friends. Ill help you pay more attention when the time comes.

Jiang Hai knew what his wife was thinking, but he had to admit that Jiang Zhen was indeed a good choice. They knew everything about him. With them watching over him, Jiang Ans life wouldnt be bad if she married over. Hence, he quietly drank his tea and didnt interrupt.

Jiang Zhen looked at Li Mei staring at him with a burning gaze. He felt that if he didnt say something today, she wouldnt give up asking. Hence, he simply gave up struggling and started talking about his type. I like pet.i.te and cute ones. They have a good temper and arent pretentious. They eat a lot, are strong, and are positive and optimistic. When they smile, theyre as warm as a small sun.

The more Li Mei listened, the more she felt that he was talking about her daughter, but she wasnt sure. She raised her hand and scratched her forehead.

Jiang Hai looked at the gentleness in Jiang Zhens eyes as he spoke. He had a bold guess in his heart. Jiang Zhen, tell me the truth. Do you like Jiang An?

Jiang Hai shocked two people. One was Li Mei, and the other was Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhens eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer immediately. The matter of liking Jiang An was a small secret that belonged to Jiang Zhen alone. Even after Jiang An went missing later, it had never wavered. However, the disparity in their status made him feel inferior, making him shrink back.

However, facing Jiang Hais direct question, Jiang Zhen didnt want to hide his intentions. Regardless of Jiang Hais att.i.tude, he suddenly wanted to be impulsive. He replied firmly, Yes!

Li Mei did not expect the matter to be settled just like that. She was secretly happy, but she still looked calm on the surface. She interrupted, Jiang Zhen, Im still very shocked that you like Anan, but Anans father and I are not old-fas.h.i.+oned. We dont have those traditional views. If you like Anan, we have no objections to you wooing her. We support you.

Given this was something he had always hidden and was afraid to say, Jiang Zhen didnt expect to receive such an answer when he was exposed. He looked at Jiang Hai and Li Mei in disbelief.. CEO Jiang, Madam, you really support

me?
