Chapter 278: 194 Jiang Family’s Pampered Guest, Everyone Out of Control

At the entrance of the small apartment, the biting wind swept across the stairs with a howling force. The security door was opened only a crack, just wide enough for two fingers. Someone poked their head out, warily eyeing Jiang Yanting.

He lowered his gaze, his pupils trembling almost subconsciously as he glanced at the doorplate on the wall.

He had not gone to the wrong place.

Though only a crack was open, he could still make out her appearance—twin ponytails, a white sweater, a red woolen skirt, bright eyes. Perhaps it was the heating inside, but her little face was flushed red, her features delicate and clean, as she looked up at him, her face full of wariness.

Her small hand tightly gripped the edge of the door, pale and delicate, with little white crescents at the tips. She still had some baby fat on her round, clean face.

“Uncle?”

Jiang Yanting himself had a naturally cold and stern expression, one that few adults could hold gaze with, let alone a child.

Perhaps because she was young, not yet fully grown, her features did not appear particularly distinctive, but the overall impression she gave him was strikingly similar to Shen Zhixian. He took a deep breath, feeling as if his heart was being brutally crushed…
