You’re even more handsome than in the photos Auntie showed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Jiang Yi could introduce Jiang An’an, she sweetly greeted Jiang Tao with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, thank you, An’an, for the compliment. Uncle is just normally handsome, not that handsome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao laughed and made a joke. Being complimented by a child on his looks felt strangely awkward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yi couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is, he is, Uncle Jiang is the handsomest uncle I’ve ever seen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang An’an looked at Jiang Tao with her big eyes, her little face filled with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~ Sister An’an, you have good taste!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether back in our hometown or at Eddy Kindergarten, my dad is the handsomest dad among all my classmates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xue smiled so proudly on her little face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a super handsome dad was indeed a matter of pride at school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, you two little kids don’t really know what’s handsome or not. In the future, don’t be fooled by good-looking boys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The more handsome they are, the more cautious you should be, got it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao chuckled and switched to lecture mode with the little ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... is it because my mom wasn’t cautious that she got fooled by Dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xue’s eyes twinkled as she put on a face that said, \"I get it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao was speechless, suddenly feeling like his Little Cotton Padded Jacket had some holes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang An’an and Jiang Yi, hearing Jiang Xue’s innocent words, couldn’t help but stifle their laughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mom and I truly fell in love, understand? It was all genuine, with no tricks or deception involved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao added in his heart, \"As if.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the one who used the \"tricks\" wasn’t him; it was Xu Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was entirely because Xu Li was proactive and persistent that they ended up together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for her proactiveness, he, a poor boy who had to borrow money just to pay tuition, wouldn’t have dared to pursue the school belle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for her persistence, her mother wouldn’t have let her marry him, who was then penniless and without a house or car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few casual chats in the yard, Jiang Yi invited everyone into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still only late March, and in Beijing, temperatures in the morning and evening were just five or six degrees, not quite warm yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had been inside for not even ten minutes when the gate in the courtyard opened again. A delivery rider wearing a blue Ele.me uniform rode an electric bike into the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang He parked the bike by the wall and plugged in the charger before striding across the courtyard to the main house, knocking before entering the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bro, you’re back! This is Jiang Tao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Tao, this is my brother Jiang Hai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yi, playing the role of intermediary, cheerfully introduced Jiang Tao to her brother, Jiang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Jiang Hai, pleased to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao smiled as he greeted Jiang Hai, a friendly smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His older brother was called Jiang He, and Jiang Yi’s brother was called Jiang Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is \"He\" (River), and one is \"Hai\" (Sea), sounding like a pair of brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Mr. Jiang! I’ve been waiting so long to finally meet you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after Jiang Hai finished speaking, he unexpectedly dropped to his knees with a loud \"plop\" right in front of Jiang Tao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Hai, what are you doing? Get up quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao was startled by Jiang He’s sudden action and quickly stretched out his hands, lifting him up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, with his constitution increased to 79 points, he was quite strong, making it effortless to lift Jiang Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jiang, I will never forget the great kindness and virtue you’ve shown our An’an. Thank you, thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hai looked sincerely at Jiang Tao, his eyes full of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve thanked me so many times already; no need to be so formal each time we meet, or I’ll feel a bit embarrassed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, Jiang Tao wasn’t quite used to being showered with such gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... then we won’t be so formal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Jiang Tao felt a bit uncomfortable, Jiang Hai didn’t dare continue with the formalities, lest he make Jiang Tao feel uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Jiang hasn’t eaten yet, right? How about we find a place to grab a bite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few polite exchanges, Jiang Hai looked at Jiang Tao, thinking he should seize the opportunity today to play the role of host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao laughed, \"Today I’ll treat. I promised Xiao Xue and An’an a feast. I mustn’t break my promise. You can treat another time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hai glanced at the two little ones’ expectant faces, and then at Jiang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao had stumped him with this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jiang Hai’s view, Jiang Xue and Jiang An’an were just kids. He wouldn’t put much weight on what two little ones say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Tao clearly didn’t think the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any promise he made, whether to adults or children, he’d earnestly fulfill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xue was his child, but also his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s how it is, bro. Jiang Tao had made arrangements with Xiao Xue over the phone at that time. Next time, I’ll treat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yi said with a smile to her older brother. As a kindergarten teacher, she also valued commitments made with children.\u003C\u002Fp>",990,"2026-05-30T11:56:10.972Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.297Z",1,"novelbin.me","caed2b01bebb23dd18ad2331eb547b845354b53b628d9eb1f0dfc08d44a4f686","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-379","daily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-chapter-377",544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdaily-intelligence-system-financial-independence-cover.jpg"]
