Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 688 I Don’t Want to Be an Aunt

Li Wu almost turned into a pufferfish with irritation:

"Young Master of Jiang Family, that’s crossing the line, isn’t it? If Jingjing agreed, why does it even concern you?

A grown man, meddling too much, don’t you think?"

Normally, these kinds of things are clearly divided.

A child’s mother has full authority to decide who her child’s godmother will be.

As for the child’s father, he surely gets to decide who the godfather will be!

Jiang Ye scoffed lightly:

"You have a complaint? Just hold it in!"

Really, is this not infuriating to death?

Li Wu didn’t even know what to say in return:

"Just hang up, hang up!"

As the words fell, he really did hang up the phone.

Li Wu did understand the Young Master of Jiang Family somewhat, after all, they all grew up together as kids.

Since the Crown Prince had personally spoken, this matter was likely suspended.

But, it isn’t that easy to just let it go, is it?

If the Crown Prince was off-limits, couldn’t he find someone else?

Immediately, he dialed another number on his phone.

The call connected quickly:

"Hello?"

Accompanied by the sound of pages rustling.

Clearly busy.

"Cough, it’s me!"

?

"Li Xiaowu? What, missed me?"

Ah, spit!

"What dream? Who missed you?"

"Oh? Not missing me, yet calling me?"

Are you unoccupied and in pain?

Jiang Huai, while using the speakerphone, swiftly signed his name, his face carrying a barely-there smile.

This expression shocked the secretary waiting in the office.

After all, just moments ago, Mr. Jiang had been furious.

So, who was on the phone,

able to make Mr. Jiang switch faces instantly?

The secretary’s ears almost perked up, the gossip within him twitching eagerly.

However, the next second, a stack of already signed contracts was hurled over:

"Get out!"

Cough cough cough.

The sudden fright caused him to choke.

"Ah? Yes, yes, stepping out now. Take your time chatting, Mr. Jiang."

Upon leaving, he courteously closed the office door.

Yet, the person on the phone hadn’t heard any of this conversation, as he had already started ranting.

The frustration felt from the Crown Prince was all unleashed onto this person.

Well, who let him be that person’s younger brother?

"Jiang Huai, your elder brother is a fascist, dictatorial, overbearing, and supremely arrogant. If it were a few decades ago, he’d be publicly criticized by the people!"

Tsk.

Jiang Huai coughed quietly, then leisurely picked up the teacup beside him and began sipping his tea.

It didn’t seem like he was being scolded; rather, it was as if he was enjoying a musical festival.

Only when the other party tired himself out and stopped did he slowly speak up:

"Done? Continue then!"

Hiss~

Li Wu was absolutely furious, almost breathless.

"Jiang Huai!"

"Alright, alright, my bad; don’t be angry, okay?"

"You think saying not to be angry makes it so?"

Jiang Huai was helpless:

"So what do you suggest? You really want to be my nephew’s godmother that badly?"

"Hmph, of course!"

Jiang Huai’s eyes flickered:

"Isn’t being an aunt better?

A godmother is still an outsider, but an aunt is different; she must be family!

Isn’t that better?"

Li Wu paused, slowly realizing the implication in Jiang Huai’s words.

"Jiang Huai, are you dreaming?"

An aunt my ass! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I just want to be the godmother, I don’t care how - just deal with it!"

Instantly, Jiang Huai got a bit of a headache.

His own brother had already said no, and if he were to say anything, wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble?

Moreover, wasn’t his brother’s will the same as what he wanted?

How could he undermine that?

No, he still needed to talk to his sister-in-law about it, to have her try to persuade him when she found the time.
