The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 285: Chapter 285: It’s Like Having a Tiff with a Young Wife

Under the watchful gaze of the Jiang Family, Fang Minghe: “…”

He shot a dangerous look at Jiang Yisen, “Very good, you’re doing very well.”

Jiang Yisen: “…”

He hadn’t done anything, really.

All he wanted was to have a meal without any hard feelings, considering the relationship between their families was also pretty decent in the past.

Afraid that Fang Minghe might be upset, he moved next to him when no one was paying attention and asked in a low voice, “Do they bother you that much? If you have social anxiety… should I take you out?”

Fang Minghe: “…”

It would be outrageous for him to come and then leave!

“No need, it’s just dinner after all.”

Mr. Jiang walked in from outside, carrying two bottles of red wine and humming a tune happily. When he saw Fang Minghe, he was shocked, “Minghe? What are you doing here?”

Jiang Yisen quickly took over the conversation, “Dad, I brought him here.”

Mr. Jiang: “…”

Some not very pleasant memories surfaced.

He suddenly remembered the accusations Song Kexia had made to him.

Everything seemed absurd, but he had seen worse in his life, so he decided to observe discreetly and on the side found out from others that his son truly regarded Fang Minghe as just a business partner—Song Kexia had been spouting nonsense, indeed! The words of the Song Family can’t be trusted!

It was their thoughts that were filthy, and for this, he even despised himself.

Fang Minghe wore a polite smile on his handsome face, “Hello, Uncle Jiang.”

Mr. Jiang cast these thoughts aside, his face beaming with a smile, “Now that you’re here, come and sit inside. Why stand out here, so tiring, right? Dinner will be ready soon.”

“Ah, it’s been so many years since your parents passed away, and I haven’t seen you for a long time. We must have a drink tonight, let’s have a chat.”

Fang Minghe nodded and followed Mr. Jiang inside.

Jiang Yisen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hemian stood beside him and click his tongue lightly, a hint of shallow curiosity in his tone, “Big brother, why do you seem a bit afraid of him? This isn’t like your style.”

Jiang Yisen gave him a sideways glance, “You don’t understand business matters. Right now I’m collaborating with him, it’s an equal partnership. Just because I’ve invited people over for a meal, what’s wrong with being nice to him?”

Jiang Hemian: “?”

He chuckled, “This is the first time I’ve seen you bring someone home, and it’s a man, too. Oh right, Mom will definitely nag you about getting married later, she’s got a list of all the suitable young ladies from the Beijing Circle, ready for you to choose your bride.”

Jiang Yisen frowned, clearly irritable at the mention of “marriage.”

“With so many women coming in and out of my life, most are after my money, and a few are attracted to my looks. After searching for so long, I haven’t found someone I click with, how can I get married?”

Jiang Hemian saw things more clearly, “In wealthy families, marriages are alliances, where’s the room for affection? The other party won’t care about your past, as long as you settle down after marriage. Looks like after you get married, it’ll be my turn and second brother’s turn, heh.”

Jiang Yisen pursed his lips and let out a light sigh, “We’ll talk about it when it comes.”

Jiang Jingcheng came out of the washroom, holding a hand towel, which he threw into a trash can as he passed by.

His gaze didn’t even land on Jiang Hemian; instead, he sat on the opposite side of the sofa, picking up a knife on the table to cut fruit.

He halved an orange, cut one half again before handing it to Jiang Nanshu, “Want some?”

Jiang Nanshu reached out to take it, “Thanks, second brother.”

[Just eating chips made me thirsty, boo hoo, second brother is so considerate.]

The orange was juicy and sweet.

Jiang Nanshu ate with satisfaction.

Her gaze shifted between Jiang Yisen and Fang Minghe.

[Huh, is this how it works in the world of powerful CEOs? Getting upset but then making up so easily? It’s like squabbling with a little wife.]

Jiang Yisen almost choked on his saliva.

What nonsense is this girl talking about!

Who’s the little wife?

Among businessmen, interest is paramount—Fang Minghe’s approach meant that he had figured it out!

Working with him was only profitable, there’s no downside, okay?

He was worried about offending Bao Yan, but what did it have to do with him? He was just responsible for poaching talent.

“Oh oh oh, what’s with Boss Fang’s expression? How can he drink with an old man and still have a spare eye for Big Brother?!”

Mr. Jiang spat out his red wine in shock.

Fang Minghe looked at him in astonishment and quickly passed over a tissue, “Uncle Jiang, what’s wrong with you?”

“Cough cough…” Mr. Jiang couldn’t stop coughing.

After a moment, he awkwardly tried to laugh it off, “This wine was too strong, it went down the wrong way.”

Fang Minghe glanced at the bottle of wine with only 10.2 alcohol content. For them, this level could only cause light intoxication; it was smooth and mellow with no trace of harshness.

“Why don’t we stop drinking for now? I have some business matters I’d like to discuss with Yisen.”

“Ah?” Mr. Jiang dabbed his mouth with the tissue before responding, “Alright…”

Fang Minghe stood up, “Excuse me.”

As he passed by Jiang Yisen, he dropped a line, “Come with me.”

Jiang Yisen: “…”

The attention of the entire family fell on him.

The very person who sparked this incident continued to eat his melon seeds, oblivious to the chaos.

“Wow, so sweet, I’m shipping it; we’ve got a sister-in-law!”

Jiang Yisen slipped and crashed into Fang Minghe’s back.

Fang Minghe, caught off guard, lost his balance and flew forward.

Jiang Yisen managed to steady himself by grabbing onto the door frame to avoid a fall.

Looking up, he saw Fang Minghe glaring at him furiously.

His heart went cold.

There goes the business deal…

“My goodness, even if you wanted to hold him, there’s no need to rush into it and bump into him like that! Look at the state our Boss Fang is in; I feel sorry for him for three seconds.”

Jiang Yisen had never found Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice so unbearable before.

He hurriedly went to help him up, “Sorry, I slipped.”

Fang Minghe brushed off his hand, his eyes and brows cold, “It’s nothing.”

From a distance, Jiang Yunchuan winced as he saw the stumble, making a pained expression, “Oh my, that looks like it hurt.”

Jiang Zhouye hissed, “Tell me about it…”

But…

Was their relationship really like what Jiang Nanshu described?!

It was truly bizarre…

Jiang Nanshu finished his orange and went straight for the fruit plate on the table.

He continued to munch and comment with relish.

“But hey, it’s normal, society is very tolerant these days. Hopefully, you won’t look at their relationship with prejudice; it’s hurtful.”

The Jiang Family: “…”

“I’m still talking about my big brother though, alas, if there’s a first, there will be a second. My Fifth Brother is probably falling too, he’s always so kind to Jiashu, and they even do everything together…”

Jiang Yunchuan: “!!!”

What rubbish!

What kind of rumors are these!

The Jiang Family: “…”

Please, do tell us more.

Jiang Nanshu turned around just to see Jiang Yunchuan glaring at her.

“What’s with the staring? You’re scaring me; I really shouldn’t think about him and Jiashu. Anyway, it’s that kind of relationship; forget it, better not to let family know.”

Mr. Jiang’s gaze toward Jiang Yunchuan changed.

Fine then, what were they hiding from him? What had they been up to outside?
