Chapter 284: 196 Jiang Family has not a single good member, especially the fifth master Jiang (3 more)

Shen Zhixian had decided to stay at the Jiang Family residence, so she naturally was arranged to stay on the second floor, with Fan Mingyu personally tidying up the room for her.

Although the Jiang family all harbored thoughts of matchmaking her and Jiang Yanting, since she was new to the place, she couldn’t behave too obviously and scare people off.

She could only stir things up covertly.

When she opened Jiangjiang’s bedroom door, the two little ones were huddled in front of a computer screen, on a video call.

“Mommy—” Taotao saw Shen Zhixian and, still smiling, climbed down from the bed and threw herself at her.

“Auntie said she helped you bathe?” Shen Zhixian bent over and sized her up; she hadn’t brought a change of clothes and was wearing Jiangjiang’s, but since the two of them were of similar height, it actually fit well.

“Mhmm, are we staying here tonight?”

“Do you want to stay here?”

Taotao didn’t say anything, but this was always what her heart wished for. After all, it was rare to meet a playmate her age, and the Xie Family was very strict with her, fearing she might be too exposed, and the Xie Family’s rules were comparatively strict. There were rules to follow in everything, and the family atmosphere wasn’t as good as the Jiang Family’s.

Shen Zhixian understood her daughter quite well, “The snow outside is too heavy, there’s no way to leave now, so we can only stay over tonight.”

“Then it can’t be helped.” The little girl bit her lip, her happiness apparent, yet she pretended to sigh with regret.

Actually, when it came to stubbornness, the siblings were quite alike.

“Are you guys staying over tonight?” Jiangjiang tossed his tablet to the side, his face eager with excitement.

“Yes,” Shen Zhixian smiled, “You’re on a video call?”

“With Uncle Xiaosi—he said when he comes back, he’ll take us out for a ride!” Jiangjiang was very excited.

Shen Zhixian just smiled; at that moment, she didn’t take it to heart, thinking he meant a bicycle, an electric bike, or something that could be fitted with a child’s seat at the back…

Later, when she found out Jiang Chengsi rode a heavy motorcycle, taking her and her daughter to tear up the streets, she was somewhat appalled.

While helping Taotao to the toilet, Shen Zhixian lowered her voice to ask, “What do you think of Uncle’s family?”

“They’re all really nice, but that uncle from before has such a sour face, he scares me a bit,” Taotao responded truthfully.

That definitely referred to Jiang Yanting, “Actually, he’s really nice. Look at today, he even held your hand to walk you downstairs. Don’t be afraid of him.”

“Mom, are you going to marry him in the future?”

“Who told you that?”
