Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

The man, President An, nodded, glanced at the brother and sister, and sat down. "When you were talking to them up close just now, did you notice anything unusual about Jiang Huan?"

An Chen and An Xin both shook their heads.

An Xin said, "Dad, when my brother was talking to Qian Rui just now, I kept an eye on Miss Jiang Wu. I noticed that Miss Jiang Wu was not focused, kept smiling foolishly, and playing with her fingers. Her behavior was no different from that after the accident."

After hearing this, President An nodded and said, "It seems that Jiang Huan has not recovered yet."

Upon hearing this, An Chen cautiously asked, "Dad, are we going to go against... the Jiang family?"

Otherwise, why would Dad pay so much attention to this little girl, Jiang Huan?

But if the goal was to do the right thing, why give the last membership card to both of them?

"Go against them?" President An chuckled lightly, raising his eyes coldly. "Go against anyone but the Jiang family. Although Jiang Huan hasn't recovered yet, you should still take advantage of this situation to secretly build a good relationship with the Jiang family."

An Chen asked, puzzled, "But now all the families in Nancheng are avoiding the Jiang family like the plague. Do we really want to get close to them?"

"I've said it before, never go against the Jiang family. Don't underestimate the Jiang family just because they only have one old man and one young child now. Not to mention when the young one will recover, even the old one is more than capable of giving anyone who opposes the Jiang family a hard time! Take advantage of this time to secretly give the Jiang family benefits. Old Master Jiang is a man of great loyalty. When the Jiang family rises again, that will be the time when our An family will be a force to be reckoned with in Nancheng! Alright, get back to work!"

After saying that, President An lit a cigar, got up and left the lounge.

The brother and sister looked at each other, bewildered.

"Brother, do you think the Jiang family can really remain the dominant force in Nancheng forever, relying solely on the old man?"

“If Dad said so, then it’s definitely possible!” An Chen breathed a sigh of relief. “Xiao Xin, Jiang Huan and Qian Rui seem easy to get along with. You’re the same age as them, and girls usually have a lot in common. Try to get along with them and don’t let Dad down.”

An Xin nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I know what to do."

Seeing this, An Chen smiled and patted An Xin's head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Only if we are obedient enough will Dad like us more and focus his attention on us instead of those two good-for-nothings."

Even though Dad liked his stepmother a lot, the two children she raised were just spoiled brats and spendthrifts, so Dad never liked them.

"Mm," An Xin replied.

……

On the way back to the Jiang family's old house.

Jiang Huan received a text message from Ling Siye.

"see you later."

Jiang Huan: "..." Idiot!

Seeing Jiang Huan's disgusted expression, Qian Rui's gossipy heart stirred. "Huanhuan, you and that masked man...who is he?"

Jiang Huan put away her phone and said disdainfully, "Ling Siye is such a pest!"

She said she wanted a confession, but he chased her all the way to the auction, confessed to her with a flower, it was just... incredibly cringeworthy!

Qian Rui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You're such a clingy person! Huanhuan, you know how to describe people."

Jiang Huan felt embarrassed. "I don't know why he had to choose me. He could easily find someone willing to appease his grandfather, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Rui revealed a meaningful expression, "Could it be that he likes you?"

"Huh?" Jiang Huan was shocked. "I've only met him twice. He couldn't possibly have fallen in love with me at first sight, could he?"

She knew that all love at first sight was based on physical attraction.

She was very confident in her looks, but she didn't believe that Ling Siye was the kind of vulgar, lecherous man who only cared about appearances!

After listening, Qian Rui nodded thoughtfully and stroked her chin. "Huanhuan, what exactly is Ling Siye planning?"

"Who knows!" Jiang Huan said speechlessly.

Although she didn't know why Ling Siye chose her to be his so-called contract boyfriend/girlfriend, she was certain that the Ling family and the Jiang family had a connection.

However, she couldn't bring herself to ask her grandfather about it right now, because asking would reveal that she was already aware of her situation.

It seems that to find out more, we'll have to start with Ling Siye...

When Jiang Huan returned to the Jiang family's old house and saw the man chatting and laughing with her grandfather in the hall, she finally understood the meaning of the text message.

Ling Siye actually came to our door directly?

Looking at her grandfather's smile, she never expected that Ling Siye, this clingy old man, would be so good at making the elderly happy!

"Huanhuan is back?" Old Jiang noticed the two people entering the room and waved with a smile. "Huanhuan, come here quickly, Grandpa will introduce you to someone."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan gave an awkward laugh. In order to maintain her persona, she had no choice but to act like a lively child in front of Ling Siye, skipping over to Grandpa Jiang and affectionately clinging to him: "Grandpa, Grandpa..."

Upon seeing this, Ling Siye's smile deepened.

Jiang Huan: "..." What's so funny!

If her grandfather hadn't been there, she would have definitely punched this stubborn guy in the face!

"Old Jiang, here comes nagging you again." Qian Rui walked over.

"It's alright, please sit down," said Old Jiang. "I've already spoken with your mother. You and your daughter will be settling in Nancheng. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to the Jiang family to find me. You can also come visit Huanhuan often when you're free; Huanhuan seems to like you a lot."

At this moment, Jiang Huan tilted her head and smiled, "I like it, I like my sister."

Qian Rui nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Ling Siye, sitting opposite, watched Jiang Huan act quietly, his smile undiminished.

He had no idea that she could go to such lengths to disguise herself; she was truly different from the wild girl who acted aggressively in front of him.

This one is obviously...much cuter!

“Huanhuan, come here. This is Ling Siye. His family is related to ours. If we’re talking about seniority, you’d probably have to call him ‘uncle.’ He’s free lately, so he’s staying at our house as a guest,” Old Jiang explained.

"Fourth Uncle?" Jiang Huan was taken aback.

Damn! My seniority has increased!

"Okay." Ling Siye responded casually, "Just call me Fourth Uncle, my dear Huanhuan."

Jiang Huan ground her molars: She wanted to bite someone.

Is this chewy candy expired or spoiled? It's disgusting!

Seeing her grandfather staring at her, Jiang Huan could only force a smile, "Fourth Uncle..."

She made a note of this debt.

Qian Rui, who was standing to the side, was so angry that her stomach hurt from trying to hold back her laughter, but she didn't dare to show it.

Old Jiang said, "Ah Ye, your grandfather has already told me some things about you and Huanhuan. I thought you'd be free recently, so you could cultivate your relationship with Huanhuan. If Huanhuan is willing, I might agree to let you get engaged."

The moment Jiang Huan heard that, the sky seemed to fall.

What the hell?

got engaged?

Isn't it a contractual relationship? How did it get involved in an engagement? What's this clingy guy up to?

Ling Siye was also stunned, his smile freezing. "Grandpa Jiang, what engagement? What did my grandfather say to you?"
