Chapter 500 - 498 She Saw Nothing
Madam Yin also looked at Jiang Yifan, and the expression on Jiang Yifan’s face as he spoke with Zhao Gang was clearly not just a casual conversation. "Yuanfan was bowing and scraping to you just now, has he entrusted you with some task? Is it very difficult?"
Isn’t it difficult? It’s incredibly difficult! Jiang Yifan felt like crying. Your Ah Yan, what a name to have, of all the names that exist, also called Ye Xinyan, sharing both the name and surname with Ah Yan. If a girl from Clear Water Village is called Ye Xinyan, does that mean Ah Yan is the incarnate of that Clear Water Village girl from a past life? All he would need to do is to treat Ah Yan with wholehearted devotion, then have his mother come to Qingyuan County to propose marriage, right?
Zhao Gang’s expression wasn’t much better than Jiang Yifan’s. "Nothing much, Miss Cousin gave us two extra whole blocks of cheese. I feel that she should save up more silver for herself, and then the more I talked about it, the more I said."
This, indeed, sounds trivial. Madam Yin complained, "Ah Yan has silver to hand, it’s just two blocks of cheese, you should just go ahead and take them, there’s no need to talk so much about it." Saying so, she turned towards Jiang Yifan, "Thank you, Yuanfan, for making the trip so early. You get along well with Uncle Zhao, you know he’s a straightforward person by nature, though he speaks frankly, he’s very pleasant to deal with."
What the mother-in-law says is always right, Jiang Yifan quickly nodded, "Madam is right, Uncle Zhao has always been good-natured, very kind towards us younger generation."
Zhao Gang’s brow was still furrowed. When did he ever notice this brat being such an unabashed sycophant? Whose younger generation was he?
Ye Xinyan nodded; if he hadn’t shown shamelessness before, it was because there was no need. Now that there was a need, he revealed it without reservation.
Madam Yin was immensely relieved. Yuanfan really was an understanding and considerate child. The two children hadn’t gotten along well before, but in the future, she should advise Ah Yan more often; she shouldn’t always show Yuanfan a cold face, as that would hurt the child’s feelings too much.
