Former Cannon Fodder’s Self-help Manual - Chapter 23

Jian Ming couldn’t believe her ears, her eyes were about to pop out, “Xia… Aunt Xia?”

Xia Changhan gave a pole and climbed up: “Hey, big nephew.”

“Mom, Xia… what’s going on.”

Jian Ming feels that his three views have been challenged, and the ex-girlfriend who is at odds with him suddenly becomes an aunt. Is there anything more exciting than this?

Most importantly, Xia Changhan appeared in the old house.

The Jian family has always had a tradition that if an adult clan member brings his lover back to the old house and shows up in front of the head of the family, it is basically confirmed that he will be with this person for a lifetime.

Over time, the offshoot bloodlines have long since abandoned this tradition, and only the direct bloodlines continue to observe it.

Now the owner of Jian’s family is his mother, Jian Yixian, and he brought Bai Youyou back to show his mother, but the significance of Xia Changhan’s appearance here is intriguing.

Jian Yixian didn’t intend to answer his question, and ordered the maid: “Help the young master carry the suitcase upstairs.”

Jian Ming had no choice but to shut up and follow the maid upstairs.

When he reached the corner of the stairs, he glanced back at Xia Changhan and fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xia Changhan said to the system: “Oh, I didn’t expect being called auntie by my ex-boyfriend feels so good.”

System: “It’s more enjoyable to be called Mom.”

Xia Changhan: “Really?”

She secretly glanced at Jian Yixian’s side face. Jian Yixian was not like a woman who was already thirty-seven. The years had left no traces on her face, and there were no crow’s feet in the corners of her eyes. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he looked extraordinarily ascetic.

Xia Changhan’s heart was pounding as he watched.

Jian Yixian noticed her peeking, and with a smile on her lips, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Changhan said shyly, “It’s nothing.”

The smile on Jian Yixian’s lips deepened.

While washing his hands, Xia Changhan asked the system: “Why is my heart beating so fast?”

The system has led so many hosts, and it already knows what will happen next, but it doesn’t follow the routine: “How do I know, see a doctor as soon as possible if you are sick, don’t shy away from medical treatment.”

Xia Changhan: “…I thought you would say it was because I fell in love with Jian Yixian.”

If the system can make facial expressions, it will definitely roll its eyes: “Aren’t you clear in your heart?”

Xia Changhan: “Shouldn’t I ask you to confirm?”

System: “I’m just a bunch of data, there’s no love, no love, what’s the use of asking me for confirmation.”

Xia Changhan: “…”

Jian Yixian said that it was a regular meal, and it was really a regular meal, and there were no guests until the meal started.

There were only four people at the dinner party.

Jian Yixian pulled away the first chair on the right, “Miss Xia, sit here.”

Xia Changhan was a little bit interested in Jian Yixian, so naturally she didn’t want to hear Jian Yixian call her too unfamiliar, she sat down and said, “Boss Jian, don’t call me Miss Xia anymore, call me Changhan.”

Jian Yixian followed kindness like a streamer: “Han Han.”

Xia Changhan: “Although Hanhan is not bad, but I always feel like he sounds like a certain writer…”

Jian Yixian has never been in a relationship, and has never nicknamed others: “That long?”

Xia Changhan: “…” What a mess.

Xia Changhan gave up: “Changhan…”

Jian Yixian: “Changhan sounds a bit raw, so let’s call it short.”

Xia Changhan couldn’t believe it, and the dialect burst out: “What?”

Jian Yixian rubbed her earlobe affectionately, “Short.”

Xia Changhan thought to himself, forget it and make you happy.

This scene was caught in Jian Ming’s eyes, he was stunned, his feet stepped on the air, and “Dun Dun Dun Dun” slid downstairs.

Bai Youyou screamed: “Brother Ming,” and quickly reached out to grab him.

It’s a pity that she moved a little too slowly and didn’t catch it. She quickly went downstairs and squatted next to Jian Jian and asked with concern: “Brother Ming, are you hurt? Show me.”

With a painful cry, she covered her buttocks and shook her head: “It’s okay.”

Bai Youyou helped him to the seat, and blamed: “Why are you so careless.”

Jian Mingxin said that if this happened to your mother, your mother would fall too.

After Jian Ming sat down, he took out the gift he had prepared, held it in both hands, and handed it to Jian Yixian respectfully: “Mom, this is a gift from me. I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, a long life like Nanshan, good health and good looks.” The beauty remains.”

Jian Yixian unwrapped the gift, it was an inkstone, without a trace of artificial carving, the pattern was natural and fine, and the material was as warm and moist as jade, one could tell it was Fanghao inkstone at a glance.

“This is the inkstone my son bought from Mr. Qi Chengzhi, a master of painting and calligraphy. His old man loves this square inkstone very much. If his son hadn’t helped him a lot, the old man would not be willing to sell it.”

Jian Yixian has always been interested in the Four Treasures of the Study, and he couldn’t put it down after receiving the inkstone.

She played with it for a while, put away the gift, “I have a heart.”

Jian Jian was very happy to be praised: “It’s just as long as you like it, Yoyo has also prepared a gift for you.”

Bai Youyou took out a long box from behind. Inside was a hosta hairpin. The hairpin was simple and elegant, with a transparent body. It seemed that Bai Youyou put a lot of effort into preparing the gift.

Jian Yixian accepted it, and thanked her: “Miss Bai is taking care of you.”

Compared with them, Xia Changhan’s gift is not on the table. Jianming knows that Xia Changhan is planning to shoot an online drama, and the funds are not so abundant, so he deliberately said: “I wonder what gift Miss Xia prepared for my mother?”

Jian Yixian smiled and said, “Your Auntie Xia made a box of cookies for me.”

Hearing this address, Jian Ming’s face contorted for a moment.

Jian Ming smiled and said, “Miss Xia’s gift is quite innovative.”

Xia Changhan said: “There are only some thousand-year-old ginseng and ten thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in it, which are not worth mentioning.”

Jian Jian and Bai Youyou were obviously shocked by the luxury of the cookies, and they didn’t speak for a while.

Jian Yixian looked sideways at Xia Changhan, with a smile in his eyes, his lips moved a few times, and his mouth seemed to say, “Little liar.”

Xia Changhan blushed in a rare way, lowered his head and stuffed a piece of broccoli into his mouth, revealing a beautiful swan neck.

Jian Yixian’s eyes were misty, and the chopsticks that were originally stretched towards the baby dish turned around and turned to the beer duck, and slowly started to eat with a piece of the duck’s neck.

Jian Ming came back to her senses and started eating.

While eating, he remembered the moment he saw before he fell downstairs, his expression was in a trance, and he looked up at Jian Yixian from time to time, and then at Xia Changhan.

In the end, Jian Yixian couldn’t stand it anymore, and put down his chopsticks lightly, “Go upstairs if you don’t want to eat, and look at whatever you want with your head tilted.”

Seeing his mother’s calm expression, she obediently lowered her head to eat the rice, and felt relieved. As expected, the scene just now was his illusion. How could such a bad-tempered frigidity be with Xia? The Changhan mixed together, what happened to rubbing the earlobe, maybe it was accidentally touched.
