Translator: 549690339
Jiang Xu had really considered launching a midnight surprise attack. But that plan naturally fell through after Jiang Xiaoyan pulled her prank. He couldn’t help but grit his teeth in private frustration.
However, Jiang Xiaoyan didn’t get to enjoy her triumph for long.
When it came time to sleep at night and their figures were contrasted, she took a heavy hit.
Even though it wasn’t the first time she had seen it, it still caused a great visual and mental shock to Jiang Xiaoyan.
A feeling of inferiority uncontrollably surged in her heart.
Jiang Xiaoyan wanted to cry without tears.
The bitter fruit she had planted could only be silently savored by herself. On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Jiang Xu was woken up by a string of firecrackers.
An Nuonuo walked in through the door, brought in breakfast, and said, ”We’re having glutinous rice balls for breakfast.”
Jiang Xu said with a chuckle, “I don’t want to eat small glutinous rice balls, I want to eat the big ones.”
An Nuonuo thought Jiang Xu wanted the glutinous rice balls, but after seeing his expression, she realized that Jiang Xu really meant it.
Her face turned red, she called him a hooligan, and ran away. Jiang Xu’s parents were both at home, she didn’t dare take the risk.
If they were to find out, she probably wouldn’t be able to lift her head for the rest of her life.
Jiang Xu laughed heartily.
He didn’t really want to do anything, he just enjoyed teasing her.
After getting up, washing up, eating glutinous rice balls, and handling some company affairs,
several company executives sent him their best wishes. This year there was supposed to be a grand annual meeting. But then Zhang Xiaofeng’s incident happened. Having an annual meeting would be too time-consuming. So, the budget for the annual meeting was all converted into cash and distributed evenly among all employees.
This year, every employee received an annual bonus of no less than one hundred thousand.
Even the cleaners were included.
This boosted the morale and combativeness of the entire company.
It proved once again.
As long as the pay is sufficient, employees worry more about the company going bankrupt than the bosses do.
You don’t need to urge them, they’ll fight for the company’s survival on their own.
At noon, the Jiang Xu family went to pay respects to their ancestor.
Jiang Xiaoyan stayed at home alone.
Bored, she wandered into Jiang Xu’s bedroom with a bit of curiosity.
Her eyes darted around, and then she started searching.
Soon, she found Jiang Xu’s…
If Zhou Qingyue were here, she would definitely curse Jiang Xiaoyan for being a pervert.
Dammit, the last time I only stole his socks, and you actually took… After returning from paying respects, Chen Yue and Jiang Shan started to prepare the reunion dinner.
Reunion dinners are usually hot pot meals.
Convenient, and the food doesn’t cool off all at once.
Jiang Xiaoyan saw An Nuonuo helping out in the kitchen and ran in too.
Hey, Jiang Xu caught Jiang Xiaoyan, looking her up and down, “Why do I feel something off about you?”
Jiang Xiaoyan’s heart skipped a beat, but she managed to keep a calm demeanor, “What’s off about me?”
“Nothing,” Jiang Xu let go of her.
He just had a feeling that ever since he got back from outside, Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to exude a triumphantly sleazy air about her.
Maybe he was just overthinking it.
Jiang Xiaoyan thought to herself, that was close.
Is this guy’s perception really that sharp?
After entering the kitchen, Jiang Xiaoyan transformed into the dutiful—Jiang—virtuous—Xiao—adorable—Yan.
She assisted while also amusing Chen Yue and Jiang Shan to the point of laughter.
Then…
Before they started the reunion dinner, Chen Yue stood up.
She spoke solemnly, “On this joyful day of family reunion, I have an announcement to make.”
Saying so, she took Jiang Xiaoyan’s hand, “I’ve decided to take Xiao Yan as my goddaughter.”
Jiang Xu’s hand trembled while pouring wine, and his brain froze for two and a half seconds before he could respond.
“It’s not mom,” Jiang Xu shook his head. “I totally don’t understand what you’re doing.”
“What’s there to not understand?” Chen Yue said to Jiang Xiaoyan with a face
full of affection, “I liked this girl the moment I saw her.”
Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes were red. “Auntie, I have felt the long-lost love of a mother from you.”
“Silly girl, why still call me auntie? Call me mom.”
“Morn-”
And then looking at Jiang Shan, she said, “Dad!”
“Ah, my good daughter.”
Jiang Shan and Chen Yue responded in unison, blooming with laughter.
Jiang Xu:”???”
The world of adults is too crazy; he doesn’t get it.
“Stupid kid, what are you daydreaming about?” Chen Yue snapped Jiang Xu
back to attention. “Hurry up and call her ‘sister.’”
Jiang Xu was dumbfounded.
Jiang Xiaoyan, on the other hand, seemed very well-behaved, with a face showing three parts nervousness, five parts shyness, and two parts anticipation.
Only Jiang Xu knew, this was all an act.
Jiang Xu gave her a covert look: What exactly are you trying to do?
Jiang Xiaoyan: Nothing much, just calling your parents ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ a bit earlier than An Nuonuo. I win this round, huh.
And now, I am your sister, which gives me an extra layer of buff.
Happy or excited?
Jiang Xu could only say he was really impressed; she knew how to play the game.
Oh well.
With things as they were, Jiang Xu could only accept it.
After all, his parents had always wanted a dear little cotton-padded jacket.
Even though the cotton stuffing inside Jiang Xiaoyan was black.
But she was still very good to her own people.
So Jiang Xiaoyan successfully became Jiang Xu’s sister.
Jiang Xiaoyan sweet-talked with every word, calling out affectionately to dad
and mom, to brother, and to sister-in-law.
She had a sweet mouth that kept Jiang Shan and Chen Yue laughing constantly.
Jiang Xu glanced at An Nuonuo.
She was very happy and showed no other emotions.
An Nuonuo was not the type to be petty anyways.
This New Year’s Eve dinner was happier than any other they had before. Moreover, at the dinner table, Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo inevitably faced Chen
Yue’s marriage prodding.
Something about how many people in the village at eighteen had children that could already crawl.
Having children now is great, with the parents still young and able to help out more and so on.
An Nuonuo was so embarrassed by the talk that she became like an ostrich.
On New Year’s, Jiang Xu also ended up drinking quite a bit with Jiang Shan.
This year had brought some excellent gains.
His assets had increased by several tens of billions.
An Nuonuo was willing to have his children.
Even if Jiang Xu’s progress stalled now, he already had a life that most people would envy.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner.
An Nuonuo went into the room to take out some red envelopes and give them
to the hardworking bodyguards outside.
They were red envelopes containing ten thousand each.
The bodyguards were deeply moved.
Their boss’s wife had not forgotten about them.
“Bang bang bang…”
Bundles of fireworks ascended and exploded in the sky.
Jiang Xu and Jiang Xiaoyan stood in the backyard.
Jiang Xiaoyan spread her arms wide, intoxicated by the fireworks in the sky.
“So beautiful, I am having such a happy New Year.”
Jiang Xu said, “Since my parents have acknowledged you as their goddaughter,
don’t have other ideas; from now on, we are a family.”
“I know,” Jiang Xiaoyan replied with enchanting glints in her eyes. “So, brother,
my legs are a bit sore. Could you come to my room and help me rub them?
Your sister is wearing silk stockings, you know.”
Jiang Xu:”….”
