Chapter 261 The Busybody's Here, Is He Targeting Me?
Director Mother looked at Su Xiaoxiao with even more tenderness and peace of mind.
She had never married, pouring all her heart and soul into the children at the orphanage, and Su Xiaoxiao was one of the children she cared about most.
Seeing how much Jiang Jing valued Su Xiaoxiao now, and his willingness to provide her with a comfortable life, she, as a mother figure, felt happy and reassured from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that her mother no longer opposed it, and seeing Jiang Jing's insistence, Su Xiaoxiao felt sweet inside. She blushed and whispered, "Then... then thank you, Jiang Jing."
After a warm dinner, Director Mother proposed returning to the orphanage.
After all, there were still a bunch of children waiting for her to take care of at the orphanage, and she couldn't set her mind at ease.
Jiang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao saw her to the station, and after saying goodbye to Director Mother, the two returned to Shanshui Manor.
When Jiang Jing led Su Xiaoxiao, who had a hot figure and an astonishing E-cup, into the living room, the eyes of the women who were previously doing their own things focused on them in unison.
This time, the meaning in their gazes was even more complex.
Besides the usual eye-rolls, there was more envy for Su Xiaoxiao's proud figure.
Especially for those like Qin Shuang and Xinxin who had relatively balanced figures, looking at the astonishing curves of Su Xiaoxiao that seemed about to burst the buttons of her shirt, and then looking down at themselves, they suddenly felt they had taken tons of damage.
Even Zhou Wenying and Li Ruonan, who already had great figures, couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
Being stared at by so many beauties, especially with their gazes falling on her most prominent parts, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to hunch over.
Jiang Jing coughed dryly and took on the role of introducer again: "Everyone, this is Su Xiaoxiao. We will all be one family in the future. Xiaoxiao, these are..."
After the introductions, Su Xiaoxiao greeted everyone warmly.
Perhaps because Jiang Jing's current status and influence were too dazzling, or perhaps because everyone understood that Jiang Jing wanted them to get along well, the girls' attitudes towards Su Xiaoxiao were quite friendly.
Soon, they pulled her to sit down and started chatting about topics between women, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
No one was a fool; beside a man like Jiang Jing, fighting for favor was the most stupid behavior. Staying well-behaved and sensible was the only way to occupy a place for a long time.
In the corner of the living room, Lee Ji-yeon, who was quietly playing the role of a maid, watched this scene silently.
When she saw that Jiang Jing had added another beauty with a completely different style, a flash of light that was hard to detect passed through the depths of her seemingly weak eyes.
The extent of Jiang Jing's lust seemed to be even more... considerable than she had expected.
The more women around him and the more complex the relationships, the greater the opportunity for her!
The muddier the water, the easier it was to fish in it.
She lowered her head, hiding the fleeting cold smile at the corner of her mouth, and continued to play the role of the pitiful one.
The good show had only just begun.
Life at Shanshui Manor was, for Jiang Jing, something no immortal would trade for.
That afternoon, Jiang Jing was lying lazily on a beach chair on the terrace, enjoying Xinxin and Su Xiaoxiao feeding him fruit and massaging him from left and right, when Zhou Wanqin walked over slowly.
"Mr. Jiang, Staff Officer Zhang is here." Zhou Wanqin's voice was still cold, but in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Jing's posture, she couldn't help but show a trace of helplessness.
"Staff Officer Zhang?" Jiang Jing was a bit surprised and sat up. "How does such a busy man have time to come here? Please invite him in."
Before long, Staff Officer Zhang, dressed in casual clothes, walked to the terrace under the guidance of Zhou Wanqin.
He saw at a glance that there were two more beauties with different styles but equally outstanding looks beside Jiang Jing, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.
Good heavens, how long has it been since we last met, and the scale has expanded again!
Elder Liu was still eagerly trying to push his granddaughter over to be the head wife, but looking at this situation... could this kid Jiang Jing still handle it?
Did he still have the energy?
Staff Officer Zhang couldn't help but put a big question mark in his heart regarding the old man's plan.
"Little brother, your life is getting more and more comfortable." Staff Officer Zhang suppressed the thoughts in his heart and joked with a smile.
"Brother, your arrival makes my humble home shine." Jiang Jing stood up with a smile to welcome him.
"What wind blew you, such a busy person, here? It wouldn't be to check if I've been indulging in pleasure, would it?"
"How could that be? You are a national treasure now. As long as you are happy, no amount of enjoyment is too much."
Staff Officer Zhang laughed, took the hot tea handed over by Lee Ji-yeon, and started chatting about everything under the sun.
From the international situation to the domestic economy, from military technology to local customs, he just wouldn't talk about the real business.
Jiang Jing wasn't in a hurry either, leisurely accompanying him in small talk, sipping tea, and eating fruit.
He had the posture of, "If you don't bring it up, I'll just wait it out with you."
Staff Officer Zhang looked at Jiang Jing's oil-and-salt-invulnerable appearance, cursed "little fox" in his heart, and knew he couldn't get away without showing his cards.
After chatting for a while, he finally coughed lightly and steered the conversation onto the right track.
"Ahem, little brother, speaking of which, there really is a private matter I want to trouble you with this time." Staff Officer Zhang's tone became a bit "difficult."
"Oh? A private matter? Brother, just say it. I will definitely help if I can." Jiang Jing thought to himself, *Finally, it's starting.*
"It's like this," Staff Officer Zhang sighed and started telling a story. "Over in the Imperial Capital, there is an old man named Liu. When I first joined the army, I received his care; he has been a benefactor to me."
"Now that the old man has retired and should be enjoying his golden years, he has a worry that is bothering him endlessly. And so, he came to me."
Jiang Jing cooperatively showed a confused expression: "Elder Liu? What kind of trouble is it?"
"Sigh, it's all for his precious granddaughter!" Staff Officer Zhang had an expression of "every family has its own difficult scripture."
"That girl from the Liu family, named Liu Ruyan, is stunningly beautiful, like a celestial being, and her family background is also good."
"But precisely because her conditions are too outstanding, her standards are sky-high."
"The young talents introduced by the family—either she thinks they aren't handsome enough, or she thinks their family background isn't deep enough, or she says they lack substance or have vulgar manners..."
"Good heavens, after picking and choosing, she's not young anymore, but she still hasn't taken a fancy to anyone, and it has worried Elder Liu sick!"
When Jiang Jing heard this, he saw it clearly in his heart: *Good, so this is how they are beating around the bush; the target is locked directly on me.*
However, he feigned ignorance on his face: "This... Miss Liu's conditions are so good, it's normal for her to have high standards. But what does this have to do with me?"
Staff Officer Zhang slapped his thigh, a smile piling up on his face: "How could it not have to do with you? It has everything to do with you!"
"Elder Liu is out of options, so he entrusted me to help look around, see if there are any outstanding young men, and help bridge the gap and introduce them."
"I thought, in this world, among the younger generation, who can compare to you, little brother!"
"So, brother I have thickened my face to come find you."
"Look, can you... get to know that girl from the Liu family? Just treat it as doing me a favor and repaying the debt of gratitude to Elder Liu from back then!"
Jiang Jing: "So you're using me to repay your debt of gratitude..."
