Chapter 2719 - 1689: Father and Son

Chapter 2719: Chapter 1689: Father and Son

Not only does it boast an excellent location, but it also offers top-tier services, with the luxury of Michelin chef-curated meals.

His daughter had been "soaring high" for years, but today, Wu Guangjiang truly experienced the life of the elite.

They say a mother-in-law becomes increasingly fond of her son-in-law, but his attitude toward Jiang Chen had turned even warmer than Lan’s mother’s, leaving his precious son Wu Sheng feeling somewhat neglected by comparison.

Of course.

Wu Sheng didn’t mind at all.

Besides.

His birthday was tomorrow.

"Jiang, I came in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare much, just brought some tangerines. Take them home and try them."

After the meal, Lan’s mother took out a bag of green tangerines from the suitcase.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Wu Sheng loves them."

Wu Sheng still remembered his rude behavior when his sister first brought someone home, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Mom, you can buy anything here."

Wu Guangjiang picked his teeth with a toothpick, "Of course, with money, you can buy anything, but tangerines you buy with money, can they be the same as these? Am I right, Jiang?"

The recently gift-giving Jiang with Sha City Fish Cakes nodded in agreement, "Uncle is absolutely right. When I went to Bashu, I felt they were the sweetest tangerines I’ve ever had."

Wu Guangjiang laughed heartily.

Even Lan’s mother couldn’t hide her comforting smile.

Her daughter’s taste...

Truly did not require doubt.

"Brother, you should have said earlier, I could have asked mom to mail them to you."

Wu Sheng mumbled, deeply impressed in his heart.

Brother Jiang Chen’s flattery skills left him in the dust, and he did it so seamlessly.

This is what you call art.

Wu Sheng was inspired and learned frame by frame.

"Yes, when I get back, I’ll mail some to you."

Jiang Chen took the tangerines, feeling they were quite hefty, guessing they weighed more than ten pounds, occupying most of the suitcase, meaning the couple probably didn’t bring much clothing.

Indeed.

They probably didn’t plan to stay long.

"Uncle and Aunt, let’s go for a walk."

"Let’s go."

Wu Guangjiang responded happily.

It was a pure walk, without driving. From the East Sea Pearl Tower to the Bund, it was only a twenty-minute walk, but for many people, it takes a lifetime to reach.

"Jiang, you should go about your business. Wu Sheng can accompany us for the walk."

Lan’s mother was considerate, concerned about inconveniencing others.

Such a considerate person.

People say you should pick a wife by her mother, but that’s not reliable.

Picking a wife is about picking a wife; the order should not be mixed up.

Otherwise, if you first met Lan’s mother, who would have thought she could raise a daughter like Lan Peizhi.

"Mom, your visit is the most important event for Brother Jiang Chen."

This kid...

He’s a quick learner.

The teaching Boss Jiang nodded silently approvingly.

While Lan’s mother felt a bit embarrassed.

"Jiang, where are you from?"

Wu Guangjiang asked.

"Sha City."

"Oh, right. I remember now, Guan Yu’s oversight led to losing Sha City."

Wu Guangjiang nodded, "You graduated from university in East Sea, right?"

"Yes, Uncle’s memory is excellent."

Wu Guangjiang chuckled, knowing the other was flattering him but feeling comforted nonetheless.

"How did you and Honghong meet?"

Two years ago, when he came to visit...

Due to his daughter, he hadn’t dared to ask.

Lan’s mother also looked at the man who had become more composed and mature than two years ago, curious about the story between her daughter and him.

"Well, it’s a long story."

"It’s alright, we have time. Take it slow."

A gentle breeze, a bright day.

Under the warm afternoon sun, Jiang Chen slightly curled his mouth, "The first time I met Pei Zhi, it was by a stroke of serendipity, I went to Lanting for a trip, and it happened to be that she was there too."

"Brother, do you remember such detailed things so clearly?"

Wu Sheng was startled.

What a talented support role!

"It’s not me remembering. It’s your sister, unforgettable at first glance."

Wu Guangjiang lightly coughed, gesturing to the other to show restraint, behaving normally in front of them was fine, but not overly so.

This was too sappy.

Even Changju felt a bit embarrassed.

Li Changju was Lan’s mother’s name.

"Jiang, Honghong’s temper isn’t the best; didn’t you get a beating when you hit on her?"

"Uncle, do you think I’m that frivolous?"

Jiang Chen replied, his expression seriously sincere, leaving Wu Guangjiang speechless.

"Ahem, what happened then?"

"Then... I encountered a major trouble and had no choice but to ask a friend to seek her help."

"Excuse."

Wu Guangjiang confidently laughed and said, "You wanted to get to know Honghong, didn’t you?"

Wu Sheng pricked up his ears, focused and attentive. If wooing was difficult, then his sister was a nightmare-level quest, almost an impossible task.

Yet someone managed to clear it.

With such a top-tier player personally sharing experience, how could one not attentively listen?

"That’s actually not the case. I truly encountered a difficulty."

Comrade Jiang Chen seemed obsequious but was actually speaking the truth. He and Lan Peizhi truly became acquainted because Pei Yunxi was "kidnapped" by that Young Prince.

Oh, right.

And it was by the Pujiang River over there.

Who was the first to see the moon by the riverbank?

"So Honghong helped you."

"No."

Wu Guangjiang got metaphorically slapped again as someone truthfully said, "At that time, we didn’t even know each other. She wasn’t someone who was warm-hearted."

The self-assured Wu Guangjiang’s eye twitched, feeling awkward and amused. He cleared his throat, forcibly defending his daughter.

"That’s true. Honghong isn’t that easy to approach."

Jiang Chen looked at the river and sky meeting at the horizon, "At that time, I merely admired Pei Zhi’s style, without any ulterior motives, but little did I know the gears of fate had quietly begun to turn."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

No matter how intensely Wu Guangjiang coughed, Jiang Chen’s words were heartfelt truth.
