I, the female supporting role, play three male supporting roles at the same time

Zhao Ruoming took a sip of tea and looked at Jiang Shengnie expressionlessly.

Jiang Shengnie was startled by the look in his eyes and was a little confused.

What happened to Duan Hongji? Wasn't he just answering his question with a smile?

To be honest, even though Duan Hongji repaid 3.3 billion for the Jiang family, Jiang Shengnie still looked down on him in his heart.

This businessman who was full of the smell of money and a well-known nouveau riche in Haicheng actually coveted Jiang Shengnie's daughter.

Humph, you don't know your own weight. When the Jiang family's ancestors were making a fortune in Haicheng, Duan Hongji's ancestors didn't even know where to dig for food!

Jiang Shengnie first looked down on Duan Hongji's grassroots background, secondly he looked down on Duan Hongji's shrewd and mercenary look, and thirdly he looked down on his incurable nouveau riche taste!

Not to mention, this old man took advantage of the situation and forced his daughter to marry him! This caused Jiang Shengnie to have a "son-in-law" who was worthy of being his brother!

When Duan Hongji came to the Jiang family to propose marriage, Jiang Shengnie was full of annoyance and reluctance. However, for the Jiang family's foundation, he had to pretend to be nice to this old-fashioned man and do some face-saving work. God knows, when Jiang Huiyi was sent away, Jiang Shengnie even felt relieved in his heart - he finally didn't have to see Duan Hongji coming to his house every day.

When Jiang Shengnie learned that Jiang Huiyi was going to return home, he was very reluctant. He even thought about claiming to be sick and not going out. It was only after Mrs. Jiang talked to him and explained many reasons that he had to temporarily put aside his literati's lofty aloofness and condescend to talk to this son-in-law.

Somehow, Duan Hongji, who came this time, seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye than usual. Jiang Shengnie was also surprised for a moment, and then attributed Duan Hongji's change to Jiang Huiyi's influence. After all, Jiang Huiyi was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and she behaved very well on weekdays. It was normal for her to have trained Duan Hongji well.

It was not until he started chatting with Duan Hongji that Jiang Shengnie was secretly shocked.

This person is truly amazing.

Jiang Shengnie usually read a lot of books, and this time, in order to give Duan Hongji a head start, he deliberately picked many profound and obscure topics, just to see his son-in-law unable to answer, stammering and scratching his head. In order to prevent Duan Hongji from thinking that by paying back 3.3 billion yuan for his family, he can control the Jiang family and make him, Jiang Shengnie, his master.

Who would have thought that no matter what topic he raised, Duan Hongji could answer it fluently immediately!

Astronomy and geography, science and philosophy, whether it is the most obscure books and terms, or the latest social topics; whether it is history and culture, or Chinese and foreign art. As long as Jiang Shengnie mentions it, Duan Hongji will have something to say.

What's even more terrifying is that Duan Hongji's reply was so profound in its insights, so broad in its scope, and so carefully chosen in its words, that it even far surpassed Jiang Shengnie, the person who asked the question!

Jiang Shengnie usually prides himself on his status and has close personal connections with some literary giants. However, even those who sit in the "xx Association" and "xx Judges Seat" and eat public meals are not as knowledgeable as Duan Hongji, who has mastered both Chinese and Western learning!

No matter what Jiang Shengnie asked or what he meant, Duan Hongji was never anxious or annoyed. He listened to Jiang Shengnie patiently until he finished speaking, and then answered him in a calm and graceful tone. He had a decent smile on his face from beginning to end, and even the curve of his mouth did not change. It was this attitude that made Jiang Shengnie even more unpredictable.

Jiang Shengnie even had the illusion that the person sitting in front of him was not a person, but a huge machine that encompassed all knowledge from ancient times to the present!

Jiang Shengnie wiped the sweat off his forehead. Seeing that the topic was going off topic, he had to try hard to bring it back to the original purpose.

As a result, he just asked Duan Hongji indirectly when he planned to have a baby, and the other party immediately stopped talking.

What's going on here?

Jiang Shengnie couldn't help but look at Duan Hongji's expression.

Duan Hongji's gaze swept over him straightly, and although there was no extra expression in his expression, Jiang Shengnie had the illusion that it was sharp.

Are you unhappy?

Zhao Ruoming finally took a good look at the elegant and refined man in front of him. This was Jiang Huiyi's father, and his appearance alone was quite intimidating.

What did the system just say?

He wanted his daughter to give birth to a child for a 45-year-old man?

Zhao Ruoming put down the teacup. The bitter aroma of tea lingered between her lips and teeth, and then spread into her heart, suppressing her anger a little.

Zhao Ruoming did not answer directly, but answered the question irrelevantly: "This tea is good tea."

Jiang Shengnie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled proudly: "This is Longcheng Spring Rain Tea. This year's new tea."

Zhao Ruoming was a poor person and didn't know what "Longcheng Spring Rain" was. 203 whispered in her ear: "Longcheng Spring Rain Tea is a specialty of this world. Tea trees have strict requirements on climate and soil. The processes of planting, picking and frying are extremely complicated. It is known as 'one ounce of tea is worth a hundred ounces of gold'."

"Oh." Zhao Ruoming nodded, not knowing whether he was answering the system or Jiang Shengnie.

Jiang Shengnie smiled and said, "If you like, I'll give you a few taels."

Zhao Ruoming stretched out two fingers, tapped his forehead lightly, and smiled meaningfully: "Mr. Jiang is really generous."

Jiang Shengnie could hear a hint of sarcasm in his voice, and his expression changed. But then he heard Zhao Ruoming say, "But I'm curious, why did Director Jiang suddenly think of asking about the child? Yi Yi has only been married for three days, isn't it too early?"

It turned out that she was suspicious. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Shengnie had already worked out the excuse in advance.

Jiang Shengnie frowned and acted displeased: "Why else could I do that? Of course it's for my daughter!"

"Hey, system, listen," Zhao Ruoming complained in his sea of ​​consciousness, "This old guy sold his daughter. It turns out it was for his daughter's own good."

Zhao Ruoming showed a puzzled expression on his face: "For Yi Yi?"

Jiang Shengnie still had a stern face: "Old Duan, let me ask you, how is our Yi Yi's condition in Haicheng?"

Zhao Ruoming quickly put on his dog-licking persona and said with a smile: "Yi Yi is naturally the best girl in Haicheng. No, Yi Yi is the best girl in the world!"

"You're a good judge of character." Jiang Shengnie snorted coldly, "Don't be offended by what I say. Old Duan, you're a good person, but you're far from being a good match for Yi Yi."

Zhao Ruoming's face froze, and then he lowered his eyes, looking a little uneasy.

Jiang Shengnie saw his reaction and knew what was going on in his heart - just as he expected, Jiang Huiyi had Duan Hongji completely under her control. Duan Hongji treated Jiang Huiyi like a fairy in the sky, and as long as he made a slight move, he would feel ashamed in front of Jiang Huiyi!

Jiang Shengnie emphasized his tone: "Old Duan, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Yi Yi is young and beautiful, well-read, and I raised her with great care. You——"

Jiang Shengnie looked at Duan Hongji's handsome face, and remembered Duan Hongji's amazing knowledge during the conversation just now. The remaining half of the sentence "How can you be worthy of her" was stuck in his throat.

Jiang Shengnie changed his words and said, "Your age is really not suitable for her!"

"I know that," Zhao Ruoming whispered, "I am 25 years older than Yi Yi... Five years is a generation gap. To be honest, I have been feeling like I am dreaming since the day I proposed to her... I feel empty and uneasy."

203 lay dormant quietly on Zhao Ruoming's finger, thinking silently, the host is craving for drama again.

Seeing Duan Hongji's inferiority complex, Jiang Shengnie was satisfied. The more inferior his son-in-law was, the more he cared about Jiang Huiyi, and the easier it was to control him.

Jiang Shengnie snorted, "It's good that you know! You are rich, but does money represent everything? Do you think that you can make Yi Yi fall in love with you just by giving her some small material favors?"

Zhao Ruoming said to the system in his mind: "Alas, 3.3 billion is just a small favor. Alas, money is not everything. Alas, he wants to teach me something again."

On the surface, Zhao Ruoming pretended to be willing to learn, and said politely: "Yi Yi is indeed not someone who will be moved by these vulgar things. So, what do you think I should do?"

Jiang Shengnie looked down on Duan Hongji's lustful look. He suppressed his contempt and said in a profound way, "Young people nowadays often pursue the spiritual world and disdain material enjoyment. It's the same with Yi Yi - don't I know that she is my daughter? If you want to impress Yi Yi, you can't just focus on material things."

"I see." Zhao Ruoming pretended to have suddenly realized something. "You want me and Yi Yi to develop a relationship? I've thought about this. I plan to take Yi Yi on a trip, a honeymoon or something like that after I'm done with this busy period..."

Seeing Duan Hongji's stupid look, Jiang Shengnie said angrily, "The big age gap is the only downside. You still have the same old ideas! Do you think Yi Yi can really appreciate these outdated methods?"

"Then what should I do?" Zhao Ruoming continued to humbly accept the experience, "Go on a date and watch a movie like young people do? Buy 999 roses? Have a candlelight dinner..."

Seeing that he was still not getting to the point, Jiang Shengnie interrupted him impatiently: "These are just scraps. Why do you always bother with these details?"

Zhao Ruoming's eyes widened: "So what you mean is..."

Jiang Shengnie smiled rather experiencedly: "What did I just ask you?"

"You asked about the child..." Zhao Ruoming asked doubtfully, "But what does this have to do with cultivating feelings?"

Jiang Shengnie leaned on the sofa, stroked his mustache, and said meaningfully: "Women are all emotional. Children are the most deeply bound to their mothers. If we have a child..."

Zhao Ruoming glanced at the stairs from the corner of his eye, and raised his lips slightly: "You mean, you want me to use the child to trap her?"

"Don't say such harsh words." Jiang Shengnie frowned, not very satisfied with Duan Hongji's plain words, "What do you mean by being trapped? Children are the stabilizer of the couple's emotions! I'm not afraid to talk to you about it. Now that you're married to Yi Yi, it's not a shame to tell you this."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ruoming leaned forward slightly. This time she was really interested. Who doesn't like to eat melons?

In order to convince Duan Hongji, Jiang Shengnie brought up his own example: "I didn't have a good relationship with Yi Yi's mother at the beginning. In that era, families like ours had to give up some personal feelings for the sake of the family. This was the situation between me and Yi Yi's mother..."

Zhao Ruoming almost laughed out loud. Jiang Shengnie's words made people who didn't know think that there was a throne to be inherited in his family, and Madam Jiang was a princess from another country who came to marry!

Zhao Ruoming deliberately asked, "Arranged marriage?"

This son-in-law's words are really rude! Jiang Shengnie secretly glared at Zhao Ruoming, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "You can actually say that. Anyway, her mother and I didn't have a very good relationship at the beginning. It wasn't until Yi Yi came that our relationship became much more stable..."

Zhao Ruoming was about to nod when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Zhao Ruoming quietly asked the system in his sea of ​​consciousness: "That's not right, system. Isn't the first child of the Jiang family the eldest son Jiang Cheng? How come their relationship didn't stabilize until Jiang Huiyi was born?"

203 was also puzzled: "Host, I just wanted to tell you. When I hacked into Jiang Cheng's phone, I felt a strange energy fluctuation. I'm going to check the source of this energy fluctuation. You can talk to Jiang Shengnie first, I'll be there soon."

"Yeah." Zhao Ruoming naturally trusted the system.

Here, Jiang Shengnie hadn't realized that he had let the cat out of the bag yet, and continued to impart his experience to Zhao Ruoming: "So, all women in the world are the same. As long as they have a child, their hearts will be settled, and they will be able to stay by your side peacefully."

"Really?" Zhao Ruoming asked doubtfully, "But I don't think Yi Yi is that kind of person."

Jiang Shengnie's eyes flashed with disdain: "Yi Yi is my daughter, so I naturally understand her. Her temper is exactly the same as her mother's. Even though she may be a little cold to you now, once you have a child... it's hard to say."

Zhao Ruoming felt a little nauseous and could hardly continue acting. However, he saw a figure on the stairs from the corner of his eye and decided to sacrifice his ears again.

Zhao Ruoming pretended to be convinced: "What you said makes sense, but Yi Yi is only 20 years old this year, she is still too young. Well, I think we should wait another two years?"

Jiang Shengnie saw that there was a way, so he stopped caring about showing off and leaned forward slightly and said, "Twenty years old is not young anymore! When I was twenty years old..."

Having said this, Jiang Shengnie stopped talking abruptly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"What happened when you were twenty years old?" Zhao Ruoming asked with interest.

"Nothing, nothing." Jiang Shengnie laughed dryly, "Anyway, I'm doing this for my daughter!"

A dark light flashed in Zhao Ruoming's eyes: "Do you think it's a good thing for Yi Yi to have a baby at the age of 20?"

Jiang Shengnie waved his hand and said, "As a woman, you should give birth after you reach adulthood. Not to mention 20 years old, aren't there still women in their 40s and 50s who can give birth to pearls? A woman who has never given birth is incomplete. I also want Yi Yi to become a complete woman as soon as possible."

Zhao Ruoming felt her stomach churning, but fortunately at this moment, the clear and cold voice of the system sounded in her mind, promptly diluting the discomfort brought by Jiang Shengnie.

"Host, how are you? I detected a slight fluctuation in your hormone levels. Are you in a bad mood?"

"It's okay, it's okay. System, you're finally here." Zhao Ruoming took an exaggerated deep breath in his sea of ​​consciousness, "It's like hearing heavenly music, my ears are temporarily clear!"

203 said with a smile: "What happened?"

"You don't know!" Zhao Ruoming rolled his eyes. "When I just listened to that old man Jiang Shengnie talking, I felt like someone poured ten tons of old foot skin into my ears. Oh my God!"

203 was silent for a moment, then said, "Host, I have already found out. This matter is somewhat related to Jiang Shengnie."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ruoming suddenly became interested, "Can you make Jiang Shengnie unlucky?"

"This is a long story..." 203 estimated, "I'll tell you after this scene is over."

The communication between the system and Zhao Ruoming in the sea of ​​consciousness generally does not occupy the time flow rate of the real world - it is limited to short-term communication. Over time, in the eyes of outsiders, it is inevitable that "Zhao Ruoming is in a daze."

"Okay." Zhao Ruoming was so anxious to eat the Jiang family's melon that she didn't care about pretending to be nice to Jiang Shengnie. She glanced at Jiang Shengnie and said perfunctorily, "What you said really makes sense. I'll go back and discuss it with Yiyi."

Jiang Shengnie was waiting for this sentence: "Isn't this a coincidence! Before Yi Yi got married, she often said at home that when she got married, she would definitely have a big fat boy in the first year!"

Zhao Ruoming suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and said in a fake tone, "Really? But Yi Yi told me that she seems to prefer girls..."

Jiang Shengnie was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Well, listen to me. Yi Yi said that she wants a fat boy in the first year, and a girl in the second year. It will just make up the Chinese character 'good'. The brother can protect the sister in the future..."

"Is that so?" Zhao Ruoming looked at Jiang Shengnie steadily, and suddenly an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This can also--"

"dad!"
