Before the divorce.
Jiang Tong's scumbag ex-husband placed three curses on her.
One, after leaving him, she would definitely live a miserable life and couldn't survive without h...
The mother and daughter were enjoying their breakfast when the doorbell rang.
Jiang Tong opened the security camera at the door.
A man dressed in a suit, resembling a classic old butler, appeared.
Two young men were also with them.
After the monitoring is connected.
Jiang Tong politely asked, "And you are?"
The old butler immediately explained the purpose of the visit politely, "Our master asked me to bring a thank-you gift."
Is it the father and son from last night?
Jiang Tong opened the door. "You're all too kind. There's really no need for this."
She was somewhat surprised.
That's way too exaggerated.
The butler immediately agreed, saying, "It's our duty. If you hadn't found the young master in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
As he spoke, he gestured for two other subordinates to come in and bring all the items in.
Hanhan immediately ran to Jiang Tong's side, hugged her mother's leg tightly, and looked at the strangers with a wary gaze.
When the old butler saw her, he smiled very kindly and praised, "Is this your child, Madam? What a bright child!"
After saying that, he performed a magic trick with his bare hands, and a lollipop appeared.
Hanhan had never seen anything like this before. Her dark eyes widened for a second, then she nervously hugged her mother and didn't reach for the lollipop.
The old butler chuckled and said, "This is our young master's favorite magic trick. We hope this lovely young lady will enjoy it."
Jiang Tong was amused by him. She'd never seen anything like it before, let alone her daughter. So she lowered her head and said, "Baby, please accept it. It's a kind gesture from someone Mom knows; it's fine to accept it."
This time, Hanhan reached out to take it with both hands, then returned it to Jiang Tong's side, saying sweetly in a childish voice, "Thank you, Grandpa."
The old butler made a cute gesture of covering his chest, which was very funny and exaggerated.
One can imagine the scene of him coaxing the child. The little brat last night was a real prince. Look at the pomp and circumstance of his father's thank-you gift.
Jiang Tong glanced at the items and saw various precious medicinal herbs, bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin supplements, several bottles of fine wine, a basket of fruit, several sets of skincare products, and a bunch of high-end toys for children. She roughly estimated the total to be several hundred thousand yuan.
That bottle of wine is a rare gem worth over ten thousand yuan; they really are willing to give it away.
"No, no, no, I was just helping out last night. You can keep the basket of fruit, and take the rest of the things back with you."
Jiang Tong didn't expect any reward; it was just a small favor from a mother. She would go out and visit any child, no matter whose they were.
The old butler chuckled and stopped him, saying, "Please, you absolutely must accept it. It's just a small token of our appreciation, nothing special, but we hope you'll accept it. If you don't accept it, we won't be able to go back and explain ourselves."
He said they were just working odd jobs and hoped Mrs. Jiang wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Jiang Tong was so shocked she couldn't speak. Finally, she managed to stammer, "So you mean if we don't accept it, it will put you in a difficult position, and your boss will feel guilty?"
The old butler nodded. "You can interpret it that way. Please accept this as a suggestion."
Okay.
She had lived for twenty-eight years and had never seen such a "sucker".
This is probably the world of the rich.
Jiang Tong accepted it.
The old butler then left with a smile, maintaining impeccable manners throughout.
Hanhan stared blankly at the gifts piled up in the living room.
Jiang Tong reached out and patted her daughter's head, exclaiming, "Baby, Mommy saved a little prince last night, and suddenly I'm rich today!"
Goodness.
With so many toys, they've provided Hanhan with almost half a year's worth of toys.
Hanhan seemed to understand, but not quite.
Jiang Tong bent down to start tidying up her things, and took the opportunity to share the story of last night with her daughter, "You went to bed early last night, so you can play with the little boy again next time. That kid looks kind of lonely."
Hanhan nodded obediently.
She doesn't like to talk.
But Jiang Tong, with her exceptional initiative, assisted her mother throughout the entire process. The mother and daughter quickly tidied up the thank-you gifts sent by the Zhou family.
Jiang Tong picked out some leftovers that would spoil and prepared to take them back to her hometown.
A fruit basket would be nice.
She'll just buy some drinks and local specialties along the way.
Taking too many good things will only make others envious.
Jiang Tong needs to keep a low profile.
"Baby, let's pack some clothes together. We're going to Grandma's house."
Another argument might occur, but Hanhan feels insecure and can't leave her at her friend's house for an extended period, so she has no choice but to bring her along.
Jiang Tong prepared her daughter in advance, saying, "No matter what Mommy and Grandpa and Grandma do, it has nothing to do with Hanhan. Don't be afraid, okay?"
Hanhan nodded obediently.
Jiang Tong carried her luggage bag and helped Hanhan into the child seat in the back. She was willing to spend money on both children and was very safety-conscious. She bought the child seat, which cost several thousand yuan, without hesitation. However, her former in-laws often nagged her for wasting money, which caused quite a few arguments in the family.
I can finally make my own decisions now, what a relief!
At the intersection before leaving the residential area, I ran into Zhou Yuansheng. He greeted me first. He was sitting in the back seat of a Maybach, with the window rolled down. He was dressed formally as usual, with short black hair styled with hair wax. He was handsome and refined, with even the collar pin of his shirt exuding an air of nobility.
This was the first time Jiang Tong had ever seen someone so meticulous; every part of them was exquisite.
"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. You brought so many things over this morning."
"Of course."
"Is Madam Jiang taking the children out for a trip?"
"Ah, yes, we're taking the kids back to visit their grandparents."
"Hanhan greets her uncle."
Hello, Uncle.
Hello, Hanhan.
The two exchanged a few polite words and then parted ways.
Hanhan held her small water cup and drank, blinking her eyes. "Mommy, this uncle is handsome."
Jiang Tong was surprised. This was the first time her eldest daughter had ever praised someone so proactively. But the man was indeed very handsome, the kind of handsome that is rare in the world.
Her bone structure is also beautiful.
It doesn't resemble a carbon-based organism that can grow; it's more like a perfectly designed 3D model.
My daughter is a real sucker for good looks.
Jiang Tong couldn't help but laugh; she hadn't expected Hanhan to take the initiative to compliment someone.
"Uncle Zhou is really handsome. Didn't Mommy tell you this morning that she found a little prince last night? Uncle Zhou is the little prince's father. The little prince's name is Zhou Jiaqi, and he's a very cute little boy."
A little boy unexpectedly came to our house last night, which was a dream come true for Hanhan. Her mother said she had found a little prince, so she wasn't resistant to him. Instead, she became curious about Zhou Jiaqi.
Jiang Tong knew that Hanhan was sensitive and thoughtful, so it was necessary to talk to her about what happened last night, otherwise the child would be unhappy if she found out later.
Hanhan is very territorial and doesn't like others stepping into her territory.
Jiang Tong chooses to respect her child's wishes and does not force her to share. Having boundaries is good, as it also makes her more aware of safety.
