Seeing Jiang Ze pick up his phone to send a message to Ye Zhao, Jiang Che suddenly said, "Ask her tomorrow. Don't disturb her rest so late."

Jiang Ze paused for a moment, then said, "That's right, I'll ask again tomorrow."

After Jiang Che finished speaking, he turned and went upstairs, but then picked up his phone and sent a message to Ye Zhao.

"We're home, Zhao Zhao."

A moment later, a message came back: "Okay, you must be tired after a long day, get some rest."

Jiang Che was about to say something when he heard another reply from the other end: "I'm going to sleep too."

He had no choice but to give up and replied, "Okay, goodnight!"

"good evening!"

A smile appeared on Jiang Che's lips. He belatedly realized he was a little tired. He put down his phone, picked up his pajamas, and went into the shower room.

...

Early in the morning, the workers at the Jiang family mansion gradually got up and began their day's work in a busy but orderly manner.

The Jiang family residence is located in the suburbs, in a quiet and lush environment with excellent greenery, but recently, due to the changing seasons, the surrounding area looks much more desolate.

At this moment, in the small garden in the backyard, a middle-aged couple sat around a wooden table, talking quietly.

"Did A-Che come back last night?" the woman asked gently.

She looked to be in her thirties, with well-maintained skin that appeared fair, delicate, and radiant. Her black hair was like a piece of silk, smooth and lustrous, giving her an air of great elegance.

The middle-aged man beside her was a bit older, with a square face and a slightly serious, unsmiling expression that looked quite intimidating.

The man frowned slightly upon hearing this, and slowly replied, "You're back, aren't you?"

Tan Yuqiu, Jiang Che's mother, looked at him gently and said, "Don't be so harsh on A-Che. After all, he's a capable president now..."

Jiang Kai scoffed and interrupted her: "I think it's because you spoil them too much. Look at Aze... tsk, I don't even want to talk about him."

Tan Yuqiu was indignant, pouting, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean I spoil you? You didn't?"

Jiang Kai: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tan Yuqiu continued, "Besides, Aze didn't do anything wrong. It's just a different sexual orientation. When did the Jiang family become so feudal?"

"I'm easygoing. As long as the children are happy, that's all that matters. I don't care what others say."

She was easygoing, but Jiang Kai felt a headache coming on just thinking about how his old friends would come to watch the spectacle if they heard about it. He understood, but as parents, it might take them some time to accept this.

Jiang Kai sighed slowly: "Luckily, A-Che is more capable, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in public."

After saying that, she remembered something and frowned slightly, saying, "But what's wrong with him these past two days? I heard that he kept leaving the company behind a few days ago, and yesterday he left right after the meeting with Shen's Group started."

Tan Yuqiu said gently, "Perhaps something urgent has happened. If you want to know, just ask, but be gentle..."

Jiang Kai: "Am I a fierce person?"

When he asked that question with a blank expression, he looked very fierce.

Tan Yuqiu: "...Never mind what I said."

After she finished speaking, she got up and went into the house. Jiang Kai frowned and looked thoughtful. When he was young, he was worried that his children would not amount to anything, so he was indeed a bit strict. But in recent years, his children have grown up and he has toned it down a lot. So why do you say he is serious?

Although Jiang Che went to bed late, he woke up on time because of his biological clock. The first thing he did after waking up was to check his phone to see if Ye Zhao had sent him any messages.

He wasn't disappointed when he didn't see Ye Zhao's message, so he picked up his phone and sent it to her.

"Good morning Zhao Zhao."

What are your plans for today?

He didn't expect Ye Zhao to reply to his message, since he had gone to bed late last night and probably hadn't woken up yet.

After sending the message, he got up to wash up. When he came downstairs, it was breakfast time. Tan Yuqiu and Jiang Kai were sitting at the table, but Jiang Ze was nowhere to be seen. He knew without a doubt that Jiang Ze had gone to bed too late last night and was probably still sleeping.

Tan Yuqiu smiled gently at him: "A-Che is back? Did you work late last night?"

Jiang Che called out to his parents, sat down beside them, and replied gently, "It's not too late. We'll rest once we're done."

Tan Yuqiu looked at him with concern and pushed the breakfast on the table toward him: "Eat breakfast quickly, look at your dark circles, eat and go back to rest for a while."

Jiang Kai listened with a blank expression the whole time. After Tan Yuqiu finished speaking, he said with a stern face, "What have you been doing these past two days? I heard you've been away from the company quite often these past few days?"

Actually, he didn't have a stern face; it was just that his expressionless appearance made him look very serious.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che paused in his work and replied, "Something came up."

Jiang Kai was confused: "What could be more important than company matters? Wasn't it said that there's something going on with the Shen family recently..."

He didn't understand, but Tan Yuqiu suddenly thought of something in a flash. She raised her elbow and poked Jiang Kai, impatiently interrupting him, "Why do you care so much? Children need to have their own private lives too. Unlike you, an old man who's always at the company."

Jiang Kai: "..."

After Tan Yuqiu finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Che and smiled gently: "Hurry up and eat breakfast, then go back and rest."

Jiang Che glanced at Jiang Kai, who looked sullen, smiled calmly, and then lowered his head to start eating breakfast.

Tan Yuqiu turned and glared at Jiang Kai, who looked completely bewildered.

The family of three leisurely ate their breakfast, chatting occasionally, creating a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

Seeing Jiang Che enjoying his meal, Tan Yuqiu smiled and said, "Ah Che seems to have a good appetite these past two days. He used to be unable to eat this much."

Jiang Che was taken aback for a moment, then casually replied, "Really?"

Tan Yuqiu smiled and said, "Yes, you must have been very busy these past few days. Why don't you take a good rest at home for a couple of days?"

Jiang Che shook his head while eating breakfast: "No, I have things to do at the company."

Just then, his phone, which he had placed aside, rang. He quickly picked it up and glanced at it, but seeing that it wasn't a message from Ye Zhao, he put it aside again.

Seeing this, Tan Yuqiu smiled even more kindly. She had originally wanted to test him a bit, but now she didn't need to.

But then, as if she had thought of something, her expression suddenly became strange, and her eyes were filled with scrutiny as she looked at Jiang Che.

Jiang Che looked up and saw that his mother was looking at him strangely. Before he could say anything, his mother asked, "Che, what do you think about Ze's matter?"

What do you think? Jiang Che nodded and said, "I think it's pretty good..."

He meant that it was good that Jiang Ze dared to bring this up with his family, but to his surprise, Tan Yuqiu stared at him wide-eyed in disbelief: "You think it's good?"
