Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 598 - 339 is getting ahead!!!

It sounds grandiose, with "no trouble at all," but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he simply thought Xia Ye wasn’t good enough, and that adding her to their team of elites would only cause disruption.

Jiang Jiujue stole a glance at Jiang Xuan’s expression, swearing on his conscience that he hadn’t intended to embarrass Xia Ye when he made the suggestion.

Jiang Shan also sensed that his younger brother’s words were a bit off and quickly tried to smooth things over with a laugh, "Xuanxuan, your third brother knows you care about Yeye and don’t want her to overexert herself."

"That’s good," Jiang Xuan said expressionlessly, barely lifting an eyelid, "The old man really was confused just now. My girlfriend is a student at Beijing University, which is also participating in this final, competing on both sides, so how could she help?"

At this remark, the dining table fell silent in an instant.

Calling the old man confused in front of so many people, the last time such a tense situation occurred, it was before Jiang Xuan turned 18. At that time, Jiang Jiujue had slammed the table, overturned it, and even declared he would sever ties with him.

Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Xuan with a cold smile; his younger brother never seemed to learn.

Seeing Jiang Jiujue’s ashen face, no one dared to make a sound, thinking today would be dreadful, but after Jiang Jiujue’s lips quivered several times, what he said was, "Yes, yes, yes, it’s my fault, I’m just senile. Xuanxuan, hurry up and serve food to Yeye, don’t stoop to the level of an old confused man like me."

The voice was clearly cautiously ingratiating. His face was ashen not out of anger but out of fear!

With a ’snap,’ the chopsticks in Jiang Feng’s hand dropped onto the table, and everyone at the table: ...

The old man must be bewitched... ever since he returned to the country, he seemed like a different person! What exactly did his fourth brother have on him?

Jiang Feng was baffled and visibly uncomfortable, but since the old man wasn’t pursuing the matter, speaking too much would seem intentional.

He had no choice but to avoid discussing the just happened events, took a moment to regroup and then looked at Xia Ye again, "It sounds like Miss Xia will also participate in this robot contest?"

Xia Ye nonchalantly raised her chin, "Yes."

Jiang Feng silently ’heh’ed and couldn’t help but worry about Beijing University’s lineup this time.

Although East China University of Science and Technology was sure to win, he still hoped the final would be more exciting. Otherwise, winning too easily would be uninteresting and less likely to generate buzz.

Jiang Feng, who was best at cloaking himself in hypocritical gentility, furrowed his brow with feigned difficulty, "If I had known that Miss Xia was also participating, I wouldn’t have sponsored East China University of Science and Technology. After all, Miss Xia is part of our own Jiang Family. But now that it’s come to this... if Beijing University loses later on... Miss Xia, don’t take it to heart over such a trivial contest."

To any average young lady, such words would either be swallowed with grievance or met with a furious search for her boyfriend’s support, but Xia Ye was neither flustered nor rushing, responding more casually than Jiang Feng’s sarcasm, "Uncle Three speaks well, but I’ll return the sentiment. If we from Beijing University win, Uncle Three has his investment go down the drain, no crying allowed~"

"Huh," Jiang Feng ground his back molars, "Your girlfriend is really..."

He wanted to say ’quick-witted,’ but before he could finish, Jiang Xuan curled his lip and caressed Xia Ye’s head, "Really cute? I think so too."

He was never worried about the young girl losing out in a war of words, but the use of ’Uncle Three’ was still not quite right in terms of seniority...

Jiang Feng’s on-the-tip-of-the-tongue words were choked back. A smile appeared to hover on his lips, but the bulging vein from suppressed anger was clearly visible.

It was a good thing his wife and child weren’t there today, or it would have been utterly embarrassing!

After finishing the meal, Jiang Feng left first with a dark expression under the pretext of an excuse.

Jiang Shan sought business advice from Jiang Xuan, and the two stayed in the living room.

Having eaten too much, Xia Ye felt a bit sleepy and leaned against Jiang Xuan for a while.

Maybe it was because his scent was too relaxing, she quickly fell asleep.

Her head slowly slid down his shoulder, so Jiang Xuan simply supported her, letting her lie on his lap.

Jiang Shan chuckled behind his hand, finding the sweetness of young love endearing. He adjusted for a moment and continued discussing business, only lowering the volume of his voice a bit.

But Jiang Jiujue was utterly frustrated, pacing back and forth a few meters away from them. Just seeing the siren lying in public on Heavenly Dao’s legs made him restless.

What an embarrassment!

After hesitating for a while, he still couldn’t help himself and spoke up, "Xuanxuan, since Yeye is sleepy, why not let the servants prepare a room for her? It must be uncomfortable lying here, right?"

Jiang Xuan gave him an icy glance, "It’s not uncomfortable."

Jiang Jiujue’s mouth twitched into a wavy line; he was the one who was uncomfortable!
