Chapter 281: 195 Jiangjiang vs Little Jiaoke, Fangirl and Tsundere (2 updates)

Within the Jiang Family’s living room, the atmosphere was indescribably strange. Fan Mingyu sat to one side, constantly hinting to everyone. Jiang Jinsang’s peripheral vision sized up his mother and, truthfully…

it was the first time he had seen her so “lively”!

Originally thinking it would just be Shen Zhixian with someone from the Xie Family, everyone had prepared thoroughly. But then, out of the blue, a delicate little guest appeared, catching them all unawares, as they stared at her, nearly forgetting to attend to her.

“We won’t be eating until later, but you can have something to tide you over first,” Tang Wan brought out two plates of desserts. These were the pastries that Tang Yunxian had specially brought from a tea house in Pingjiang when she came over, with both appearance and flavor being exceptional.

“Thank you,” “Thank you, Auntie.” Since they were not very familiar, both Shen Zhixian and Taotao were very polite.

“Here—” Tang Wan offered a pastry shaped like a little mouse to the young girl.

Taotao hesitated, glancing at Shen Zhixian to seek her opinion.

“You should take it if Auntie gives it to you.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” After accepting it, Taotao examined it for a long while before timidly taking a bite.

She wasn’t scared of people; it was just that being continuously stared at by this family felt too strange, definitely unnerving.

“That…” The old lady, clutching her cane, felt a complex set of emotions and, after hemming and hawing for ages, actually didn’t know what to say.

The entire Jiang family were all trying their best to control their expressions, except for Jiang Jinsang who covertly gave a thumbs up to his own elder brother.

Truly worthy of someone who handles big affairs!

Day by day, as if fearing there weren’t enough stimuli.

Only Jiangjiang sat to the side, staring at the little girl next to Shen Zhixian with evident hostility!

Where on earth did this little radish pop up from to compete with him for his mother’s affection?

Perhaps noticing Jiangjiang’s gaze, when Taotao looked over at him, he was imitating Jiang Yanting’s intimidating demeanor by a good ninety percent. His “fierce and malevolent” little visage resembled a small tiger all puffed up…

Taotao nervously swallowed, the pastry she was just eating getting stuck in her throat, leaving her mouth dry and tongue parched.

Just as Jiangjiang was about to continue frightening her, someone suddenly tapped his head, “Ah—” he yelped, reaching back to cover the back of his head, instantly all bluster gone, and turned to look at the person beside him, “Dad?”

Taotao, however, looked down, barely holding back a laugh! He was just a poser!

“What are you doing?”

“I’m not doing anything,” said Jiangjiang, rubbing his head, innocent-faced, transforming from a fierce little tiger into a well-behaved big cat. In front of his deadbeat dad, he still didn’t dare to be too audacious.

“Is her name Taotao? Is she older or younger than our Jiangjiang?” The old lady asked with a smile; even though she hated Jiang Yanting to her core, she couldn’t help smiling broadly at the presence of the new delicate little guest in their house.

Their Jiang Family…

was short on girls!

“Yes, is she older or is Jiangjiang older?” Fan Mingyu followed up.

The Jiangs weren’t fools; there were certain matters that, even if each person knew in their hearts, they still hadn’t revealed it in front of the children, especially since this little girl probably had a very good relationship with the Xie Family. If the truth were to come out, matters would become difficult to handle.

“Jiangjiang is the older brother,” Shen Zhixian replied, pursing her lips.

“Jiangjiang, are you happy? You’re going to be a big brother,” Fan Mingyu laughed.

Jiangjiang, expressionless: “Happy!”

The succession of news, coming so abruptly, had caught the Jiangs unprepared. They thought the daytime revelation from Jiang Yanting was already shocking enough, but had not expected the evening to bring even more bombshells. After asking some questions offhandedly, the scene became rather awkward at times.

Until Hua Mei inside the room suddenly chirped a few times, drawing everyone’s attention, Tang Wan walked over, motioning it to stop chirping, and it was then they noticed that light flurries of snow had begun to fall outside…

“It’s snowing!”
