The boss is five and a half years old, and wealthy families are vying for his favor.

Chapter 31 Childhood Dream

The morning shooting ended early, the guests returned to the hotel to rest, and the program team also needed to hold a meeting to adjust the shooting schedule.

Lunch is a buffet seafood feast provided by the hotel.

Uncle Liu was very excited: "Thanks to Mr. Jiang, I can eat the luxury buffet at the San Rotopa Hotel for free. I want to eat all-you-can-eat oysters!"

"Uncle, you will have diarrhea." Liu Tianxiang reminded him in a low voice.

Jiang Wan understood Uncle Liu's feelings very well, "I also want to eat all-you-can-eat grilled squid~"

Jiang Jiao couldn't help saying the same thing as Liu Tianxiang: "I'll have diarrhea, Wanwan."

Mother Ai is very envious. She was attacked by netizens for saying something wrong in the show before. After that, she became more cautious about her words and deeds, but she gradually began to think about quitting the show.

"Aren't you going to have lunch with Anna's mother?" Uncle Liu asked when he saw Ai's mother walking towards the elevator.

Jiang Jiao also led Jiang Wan to a stop.

"Anna's body is covered with sand. I'll give her a wash. You go and eat first." Mother Ai responded politely, muttering in her heart: The Liu family is obviously an ordinary person, how can they get along with the Jiang family without caring?Are you being big-hearted or just being snobbish?

The hotel manager specially arranged a terrace with a wide view for them to eat.

The two children sat in the middle and the adults sat on both sides. Liu Tianxiang remembered that he was the elder brother and said gently to Jiang Wan: "Sister Xiaowan, if you want to eat something and can't get it, you can tell me~"

His face was round, his eyes narrowed into crescents when he smiled, and he had a soft personality. Jiang Wan didn't dislike him at all, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoxiang~"

Jiang Jiao sighed in his heart for a moment: Wanwan has too many brothers!
Before the food was served, Lin Lu, the captain of the bodyguard, came over in a hurry: "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry to disturb you. There is a guest who wants to see Miss."

Jiang Jiao took the business card he handed over, which read Jiang Wanqing, President of the National Marine Biological Science Research Society.

Jiang Wan really didn't know someone, "Why did he want to see me?"

Lin Lu: "I said I have something important to ask Miss."

Jiang Wan and Jiang Jiao looked at each other, and Jiang Jiao asked, "Where is he now?"

"It's at the door."

At the entrance of the terrace, there was an old man who was stopped by the bodyguard. He was about 60 years old, with a square face, white eyebrows and white hair. He was wearing a three-piece suit and was wiping sweat with a handkerchief. The plane hurried over.

When Jiang Wan followed Lin Lu's instructions and looked over, he smiled gently and waved to Jiang Wan.

He seemed very nice and Jiang Wan didn't mind meeting him.

"Then please invite Mr. Jiang to come over and sit for a while." Jiang Jiao looked at Uncle Liu again: "Do you mind, Mr. Liu?"

Uncle Liu waved his hand carelessly: "I don't mind."

"Sorry to disturb you for lunch." Jiang Wanqing shook hands with Jiang Wan and Jiang Jiao politely: "My name is Jiang Wanqing. I originally wanted to ask Professor Yang to be an intermediary and find a time to formally visit you. I saw the live broadcast and knew that you were just the right one. In Haizhou City, I have an academic exchange meeting here in the afternoon, so I modified my itinerary and came here in advance."

"Hello, I'm Jiang Wan." Jiang Wan felt that Jiang Wanqing was like a century-old tree in the mountains before, quiet, peaceful, gentle and touching. "Excuse me, why can't you wait to see me?"

"For a childhood dream of mine."

Jiang Wanqing looked at the endless blue sea and blue sky outside the terrace, showing a nostalgic look: "When I was ten years old, I went out to sea with my father who liked sea fishing. A beautiful creature that cannot be forgotten—"

"Mermaid?" Uncle Liu and Liu Tianxiang said in unison.

Jiang Wan's heart moved. Are they talking about the sharks?

Jiang Wanqing shook his head, "No." He didn't mind the Liu family's nephew intervening in the conversation, and said with a good temper: "The mermaid is a beautiful legend, but so far no real half-human, half-fish creature has been discovered. What I saw at the time was actually a mermaid. Grow fish."

Jiang Wanqing took out a colorful hand-painted drawing: "This is my drawing. Its head is a goldfish, very round and cute, its body is white, at least one arm long, its tail and fins are like satin, and its hair is colorful. of light.”

Jiang Wan took the painted painting with both hands, the sparkling water ripples in the painting are like a dream, and a graceful and beautiful white fish jumps out of the paper, and its agile figure seems to swim out of the paper at any time.Every time it wags its tail, it sways with a bright and soft brilliance, just like a white pearl shell covered with rays of light.

Jiang Wanqing took a deep breath, "I want to ask, Jiang Wan, do you know this kind of fish?"

He became a marine biology scientist because of the fish he accidentally encountered as a child, but 50 years later, he has not found even a fish scale.

After hearing Yang Ruoling say that Jiang Wan unexpectedly knew many unknown and rare species, he came with the last hope.

"I'm sorry, I've never seen such a fish." Jiang Wan told him bluntly.

"...I see." Jiang Wanqing said he was disappointed, rather than surprised.

"If it's in this sea area, has anyone else seen it?" Jiang Jiao asked.

"Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one who has seen it for so many years. Even in the county annals of Haizhou City dating back 500 years ago, there is no matching record or legend." Jiang Wanqing picked up the painted painting, his eyes glowing, It was as if the sea was reflected in his eyes.

"After I fell into the water, my father immediately jumped down to save me, but he said he didn't see the fish I mentioned. Everyone thought I was dreaming-sometimes I also thought, maybe it was really my imagination. , such a beautiful fish does not exist."

"Is it possible that you misunderstood it? For example, jellyfish, or other creatures, memories in critical situations usually undergo some processing when recalling them." Uncle Liu said.

"Maybe." Jiang Wanqing put away the painting, thought for a while and handed it to Jiang Wan: "Just treat this painting as a thank you gift. Thank you very much."

"Is it okay?" Jiang Wan really likes this painting, and the painter's mood is condensed in the brushstrokes.But she was puzzled: "Is this a painting that is very important to you?"

"Due to physical reasons, I will retire soon and go abroad for treatment. I will live abroad for a long time in the future and may not have the chance to return to Haizhou City. But the most important memory will always remain in my heart..."

Looking at the vast and boundless sea, he said sadly amidst the chirping of seabirds: "Even if it has been processed, I still think it is very beautiful."

Jiang Wanqing left, and the grilled squid he had been thinking about was served, but Jiang Wan ate absent-mindedly.

"Brother, I want to go to the bathroom." Jiang Wan whispered.

"Ah, I want to go too." Liu Tianxiang next to him raised his hand.

"I'll take them with you." Jiang Jiao picked up Jiang Wan and held Liu Tianxiang's hand.

"Excuse me." Uncle Liu was stringing five oysters on a chopstick so that he could eat them in one bite. Hearing this, he handed over his nephew to Jiang Jiao with confidence.

Jiang waited for Jiang Jiao and Liu Tianxiang in the corridor after finishing the toilet at night.

A piece of text vaguely appeared in her mind.

"The head is as big as a ball, with white scales all over the body, like a dragon or a dragon..."

What is the second half of the sentence?
Jiang Wan couldn't remember.

She pinched her eyebrows and didn't notice a man approaching her quietly.

"Night night—!"

Jiang Jiao's exclamation shocked Jiang Wan, she opened her eyes suddenly, and the next second, Jiang Jiao, who flew in front of her, groaned and fell down slowly.
