The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 316: The Good News Is Near

After dropping off a few kids with Jiang Yan, Wang Miaomiao was also taken to school by him. Rarely having the world to themselves, Jiang Yan naturally wouldn’t let this opportunity pass.

The car stopped at a corner some distance from the school gate. Five minutes later, Wang Miaomiao’s lips were moist and slightly swollen, her cheeks flushed, and a closer look showed a subtle dishevelment in her temple hair. She got out of the car, shot a playful scold at the man inside, and then turned to leave.

Inside the car, Jiang Yan leaned lazily against the seat back, gazing indulgently at the departing woman. Despite her stride being confident and bold, to him, it exuded a multitude of charms, leaving his heart pounding, his defenses crumbled.

As she turned the corner, her figure vanished. A gleam of light flickered in his eyes, his lips curved into a mischievous smile, not knowing what he thought of, his smile gradually widened, and he couldn’t help but chuckle out loud, "Little enchantress... wait until I get back and deal with you..." These words were swallowed back, never actually spoken.

With all the kids dropped off, it’s time for him to go to work as well. A turn of the steering wheel, a press of the accelerator, and the car zoomed off, leaving a trail of exhaust smoke behind...

Coincidentally, a few passersby walked by, swallowing a mouthful of dust, cursing angrily... who the hell was that... 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

However, Jiang Yan couldn’t hear them. His mind was racing at full speed; at the beginning of this year, his job position was reassigned, and now he is the director of the Beijing Municipal Construction Commission, a position that is crucial to the city’s planning and construction, quite an important department.

Wang Miaomiao, after being teased by Jiang Yan, vowed through gritted teeth to get back at him when she returned.

As she walked through the school gate, a familiar voice came from behind, "Little Aunt... Sister Miaomiao..."

Wang Miaomiao turned back with a smile, teasing, "So, am I Little Aunt, or Third Sister? Where does this Sister Miaomiao come in then?"

Cheng Xue, blushing from the teasing, stepped forward to wrap her arm around hers, cooing, "Sister Miaomiao... Bestie, we are the best of friends. No matter how you see it, our friendship is the closest, right..."

"You..." Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but lightly poke her forehead, "How’s the house settling going? If you need anything, just tell me. We’re family now; no need to stand on ceremony."

"Of course, if anything comes up that I can’t manage, I’ll definitely come to you and Little Uncle." Cheng Xue responded without any reservation.

Like Wang Miaomiao just said, they are now family, and their relationship has stepped up a notch.

Three years ago, Wang Jia Bao suddenly confessed to her, and since then, their letters became more frequent. Every winter and summer break, he would come to Beijing to visit her. Last summer, the two officially met each other’s parents and confirmed their relationship.

In fact, Cheng Family and Jiang Family adults had known for a long time. After all, wanting to woo their daughters under these veterans... old foxes’ eyes is almost impossible to hide.

They said nothing and just watched, knowing that Wang Jia Bao had good character, not worrying about their daughters being wronged, as well as waiting to see... these days, arranged marriages are not popular, whether it works out or not is up to them.

Of course, if the guy wasn’t decent, he wouldn’t even have the chance to approach their daughters. If he was bad news, the big shots would have dealt with him quietly long ago.

Wang Jia Bao’s resume looked great, and after years of observation, Cheng Hongbing also favored and approved of this son-in-law. His only condition was that his daughter Cheng Xue settles in Beijing. He didn’t want his daughter to marry too far away, hardly seeing her throughout the year.

As an old father, perhaps all of them feel this way, fearing their daughters marry far away and face grievances alone without backup.

For this issue, Wang Jia Bao naturally had no objections. However, he was self-aware and explained his situation, pointing out that his family was not affluent and buying a big and good matrimonial home in Beijing might not be feasible.

Moreover, his job... also depends on organizational arrangements, not something he can decide.

However, he knew these problems weren’t really problems for Cheng Family and Jiang Family.

He was initially a capable operative under Jiang Peng; after graduation, Jiang Peng would certainly try to find a way to bring him back.

The house issue is even less of a problem. In these years, Wang Miaomiao, Cheng Xue, and Jiang Huilan made quite a bit together.

As early as two years ago, Cheng Xue and Jiang Huilan bought houses near the Jiang Family separately; however, finding a good three-entry courtyard house was rare and hard to buy. Both only managed to get two-entry houses; even so, it’s more than enough for a family to live in.

A year ago, when Wang Jia Bao took Cheng Xue back to the Wang Family, introducing her to Wang Baoxing and Liu Yulan, they were quite taken aback.

Wang Jia Bao hadn’t breathed a word of this at home, afraid that Liu Yulan would pressure him and Cheng Xue if she found out.

At that time, Wang Baoxing couldn’t even speak coherently.

Liu Yulan, however, was the fiercest. First, she smilingly had Cheng Xue sit down, treating her with food and drink, full of comfort and joy, "This is wonderful. I finally awaited this day. We are truly fated, I had thought of you as my own daughter back then... never thought that fate had long been set... Xiao Xue, you are my little girl from now on..."

"Yes, Auntie, I never thought this day would come either. When Jia Bao confessed to me, I was also quite startled. Later on, he was really good to me, visiting me every winter and summer break, and I just... hehe..." Cheng Xue spoke softly, smiling bashfully.

"It’s only right for him to be good to you. If he bullies you in the future, you just come to Auntie, and I’ll make sure to discipline him." While saying this, Liu Yulan maintained a smile, gentle and kind, yet somehow inserted with a hint of a stern undertone.

Of course, this wasn’t directed at Cheng Xue; after all, it was her first time meeting her boyfriend’s parents, which was different, inevitably feeling a little shy, so she didn’t sense anything off.

"You sit here and relax a bit, eat and drink to your heart’s content. This is your home, no need to be uneasy, understand?"

"Okay, Auntie." Cheng Xue was not unfamiliar with the Wang Family seniors, having met once or several times every year. After getting over the initial awkwardness, she comfortably let down her guard.

After settling Cheng Xue, she grabbed a broom and chased after Wang Jia Bao, smashing him with fury like a madwoman, thrashing him soundly, all the while yelling, "You stinky boy, keeping this tight-lipped, you think you’re amazing, huh... I’ve been begging everyone all over to find you a decent wife, losing hair in handfuls every day, and you’ve got it all set right under my nose, coming back without a peep. So, tell me, how long has this been going on, huh? Keeping it from us, huh, keep it up and never bring her back if you dare..."
