Wen Ci's eyes went wide. She covered her mouth and whispered, "Uncle Jiang, you're not my real dad, are you?"
Minister Jiang was stunned for a moment before realizing the girl was just spouting nonsense. Although he had once been fond of Gui Lan, their relationship had been completely platonic.
They had never crossed any boundaries.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Wen Ci blinked. "It's not that. When my biological father found me and brought me home, even he wasn't as excited as you are."
At her words, the smile on Minister Jiang's face froze. His family and the Jiang Family went way back, and he was one of the few in the entire military region who knew what Jiang Ye looked like.
He also knew about the Jiang Family's biological daughter.
"Your parents and I are old friends," Minister Jiang explained.
Then, Minister Jiang's expression grew a little more serious. He asked, "Can I open the nylon sacks on the truck?"
"Go ahead."
