Chapter 358: 259 lifesaver!

Watching such a "harmonious" scene, Jiang He felt immensely gratified.

Jiang Yunyang also felt particularly proud. Sister Little Tiangao was indeed the most popular wherever she went.

Jiang Xuan stared at Jiang Jiujue’s hand for a long while before slowly moving away.

Jiang He smiled and looked towards Jiang Jiujue, "Dinner is ready, Dad, let’s go to the dining room..."

Jiang Jiujue nodded, "Sure, you go ahead."

As the others turned to head to the dining area, Xia Ye disdainfully pushed Jiang Jiujue’s hand away, "Take it off."

The affectionate expression that Jiang Jiujue had forced immediately drooped, "Do you think I want to? It reeks of fox."

Xia Ye curved her lips into a smile, "It’s much more fragrant than the old man smell on you."

Her fox scent was indeed fragrant, the kind that could bewitch people’s hearts.

The main building of the Jiang family estate, where Jiang Jiujue lived, was filled with elegant and rich wooden furniture.

The dining room was spacious; when all branches of the Jiang family sat together, it didn’t feel crowded at all.

Liu Manyi, as the elder daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, was very capable and polite, even Jiang Jiujue was satisfied.

She had even specially arranged a seat at the table for the attending medical staff.

After getting off the plane, the medical staff had successfully completed their mission, so Liu Manyi had prepared a great meal for them to enjoy, to rejuvenate their spirits before catching a flight back in the evening.

Dai Aiyuan, Jiang Shan’s wife, was a very delicate and pretty woman, well-maintained, and looked very young. She sat and talked with Jiang Yunyang, looking more like siblings with a bit of an age gap than mother and son.

This was Xia Ye’s first time seeing Dai Aiyuan; Jiang Shan’s wife appeared not as down-to-earth as Liu Manyi. Although she also laughed and seemed proper and educated, her eyes hid her thoughts.

Jiang Feng came in a hurry this time, and his family didn’t come with him. He looked rather lonely, especially since even the unmarried Jiang Xuan had brought Xia Ye along, making his house seem even more desolate.

During the meal, Jiang Xuan didn’t participate much in the conversation, instead focusing on serving Xia Ye.

Others were there to attend the old man’s welcome banquet, but he was truly just bringing a little girl to dinner.

Liu Manyi said to Dai Aiyuan with a laugh, "Look how attentive Fourth Brother is, if only our two lords were half as considerate."

Dai Aiyuan pressed her lips together in a smile, her demeanor full of grace.

Jiang Jiujue kept an eye on Jiang Xuan serving Xia Ye and kept trying to draw the conversation to him, attempting to divert his attention so he wouldn’t have time to serve Xia Ye.

But no matter what the topic was, the frequency with which Jiang Xuan served Xia Ye never wavered; in fact, he would give perfunctory responses while answering questions.

With each bite, Jiang Jiujue grew more irritated—Fairy wasn’t one without hands.

Heavenly Dao cared for all beings under heaven, probably worried about Xia Ye getting hungry. Well, he could help Heavenly Dao by serving Xia Ye; in short, he just couldn’t stand seeing Heavenly Dao being too good to Fairy.

Thinking this way, he picked up a large piece of braised pork ribs and rose from his chair.

Instantly, everyone at the table focused on that piece of braised pork ribs.

The old man Jiang was known for his authority, and it was true that no one had ever seen him serve food to anyone before.

Even Jiang Yunzhou, the legitimate grandson, had never received such treatment when he was young.

As old man Jiang leaned forward, everyone couldn’t help but wonder, which lucky favorite was he going to serve?

It happened that Jiang Feng was sitting across from the old man, his seemingly calm eyes filled with expectation.

The old man used to favor him the most.

A few seconds later, he stood up to receive it, but just as he rose, he saw the old man Jiang make a nimble turn around him, placing the glory-symbolizing braised pork ribs into Xia Ye’s bowl...

An involuntary gasp escaped from everyone at the table.

Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes, his face looking rather unpleasant.

Xia Ye was just the young lady of the Xia family from Capital City, right?

Though the Xia family was also a distinguished household, they were not on the same level as the Jiang family. Why was the old man so good to her?

Although Dai Aiyuan knew the old man’s rib wasn’t meant for her, she didn’t expect it to be for Xia Ye and couldn’t help feeling envious.

The favor that these daughters-in-law, who had married into the Jiang family years ago, had never received, Xia Ye, a girl who hadn’t even married into the family, had preempted?

With the whole table watching, the old man personally served it into her bowl, what an honor it was...

Feeling sour inside, she caught a glimpse of another small hand stretching out beside her, the chopsticks trembling, clumsily holding a plump mushroom soaked in soup, heading for Xia Ye’s bowl—

This little gentleman was Jiang Yunyang.
