Chapter 1275 Is this person a stepmother?

After the call ended, Jiang Yun stood up and looked towards the second floor.

Li Jinxing was willing to bring her here again, proving that she still had hope of getting what she wanted.

Jiang Yun could not disobey that man because she knew that Li Jinxing would never accept her existence. If she tried to surrender to Li Jinxing now and tell him everything, she would end up losing both her money and her life.

Once she leaves here, that person will not let her have an easy life, and will even let her family die with her.

He Tian no longer cared about Li Jinxing's thoughts, but his relationship with Jiang Yun was now known to everyone, even Si Yan and Si Xu knew about it.

Siyan hadn't been to Qiule Manor for a long time, and he didn't want to come either, if it weren't for his brother...

After saying goodbye to Gu Wanqiu, they left Qiule Manor and never went back. Unexpectedly, when they returned, they found that a lot of changes had occurred.

For example, the red roses turned into champagne roses, and the champagne roses also expanded their area. When the two brothers got close, they couldn't help sneezing.

I inherited the allergy to roses from Gu Wanqiu, but it's not as severe as Gu Wanqiu's.

Li Jinxing took into consideration that three members of his family were allergic to roses, so the family never cooked any food related to roses. The red roses they had planted before were also a variety specially cultivated because his mother liked them. They had almost no fragrance, so they would not cause allergies.

But now everything has changed...

Is it because his mother is gone, or is it because he fell in love with someone else so quickly?

Siyan didn't know, but both brothers didn't like pink roses, nor did they like the person who liked pink roses.

Si Yan and Si Xu didn't know that the flowers had been changed in advance, and they didn't wear masks. They wanted to avoid it but couldn't, so they could only rush into the house in a hurry.

As soon as I entered, I saw Jiang Yun sitting in the living room applying a facial mask.

The TV in the living room was playing a TV series in which she starred. Jiang Yun's acting skills were very good, but she appeared in very few TV series. Her fans said that she was very indifferent, otherwise she would have been among the first-line actresses long ago.

Xiaohua, she is not a Xiaohua now, after all, she is 35 years old.

Jiang Yun doesn't like acting, probably because the face she looks at doesn't seem to be her own.

"Young master, why are you here?" Si Yan and Si Xu were greeted along the way, and after they came in, a group of servants surrounded them.

"Looking for dad." Si Yan said it briefly. This was his home. He could come here whenever he wanted. Why didn't he and his brother have more freedom than that woman when they came here now?

Si Yan's face looked ugly. He had now begun to inherit Li Jinxing's aura. The people around him stopped talking in an instant.

Jiang Yun was attracted by the sound at the door and looked over. This was the first time she saw Li Jinxing's two children. They looked like dolls in New Year pictures, very good-looking and very likable, if they didn't look at her with disgust.

Si Yan asked directly: "Why did you change the flowers outside?"

The servants who had taken care of Si Yan and Si Xu all knew that the two brothers were allergic to rose pollen. "It was Boss Li's idea..."

Jiang Yun took off the mask on her face. Her skin was fair and moist without makeup. She stood up and walked towards them: "Because I like pink roses, your father changed it." Her words directly announced her status here to the two of them.

Siyan looked at Jiang Yun. She looked even more beautiful in real life than in the videos and photos, and more like the Gu Wanqiu of the past.

Siyan didn't understand why his father kept this woman here.

Is it because of her face?

Or to be more precise, Dad still loves his ex-mom and wants to miss her through this person who looks like him?

He was so young that he didn't even know the word "stand-in".

But he really didn't like Li Jinxing's behavior. No matter how similar they looked, they were not the same person and could not be replaced.

Therefore, when Sixu took the initiative to find him and wanted to come here to see his father, Siyan agreed without much hesitation. He wanted to know what his father thought.

Si Yan simply ignored Jiang Yun: "Where's Dad?"

"Mr. Li is handling work upstairs."

"I'll go find him."

"Young Master, President Li doesn't like to be disturbed when he's working..." Si Yan paused.

The person who spoke to him was a servant, and the person he stopped to look at was Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun smiled at him, a smile that was generous, gentle and considerate. Si Yan's face turned cold, and he held Si Xu's hand tightly, leading him to the second floor.

In the past, if Si Yan knew Li Jinxing was working, he would never disturb him, but today, perhaps because of the pink roses, or perhaps because of the woman who suddenly broke in, he was stimulated by the smile on her face.

Si Yan couldn't control himself, and quickened his pace to take Si Xu upstairs. Without even a moment's hesitation, he knocked on the office door.

"Brother..." Si Xu looked at him uneasily.

Si Yan calmed down belatedly, and suddenly felt a little scared. He stared at the closed door, but finally chose to comfort his brother: "Don't be afraid."

He knocked on the door again, and this time Li Jinxing's voice came from inside.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm working?"

"Dad, it's me. I want to ask you something."

There was silence inside for a moment, and then the door opened. Si Yan took a small step back and looked up at Li Jinxing.

He hadn't seen his father for a long time. His father didn't look as well as he looked on TV. He looked very haggard, as if he had a serious illness. His face was pale and there was a dark circle under his eyes. He must have not slept well for a long time.

And his hands, all ten fingers were wrapped in gauze.

"What's up?"

"Dad, why is your hand injured?"

"It's okay. Why did you two suddenly come here to see me?"

Li Jinxing treated his children in a businesslike manner and did not show any joy at seeing them suddenly.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't disappointed. Si Yan really wanted to ask Li Jinxing, he hadn't seen them for so long, it was the first time he hadn't seen them for such a long time, didn't he miss them?

"Dad, that woman downstairs... do you want to marry her and become my brother and my stepmother?"

"Why do children ask so many questions?"

"After all, it's for me and my brother to choose a stepmother, so why can't I ask?"

Li Jinxing frowned and sighed: "Who told you these words?"

"No one told us. We only saw it on TV. And she already moved in. You even changed the red roses outside to pink ones. You knew Mom and I were allergic to roses, but you still did it. Dad, did you fall in love with that woman from the beginning? Then what does Mom... count for?"

Li Jinxing frowned, and due to his emotions, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't mention her in front of me! I don't want to hear anything about her now. Also, I'm reminding you that she is no longer your mother. If you don't listen, then go to the basement and reflect on yourself."

Si Yan flinched at the yelling, and squeezed his brother's hand tightly to feign courage: "Then tell me, what is your relationship with that woman outside?"

“A lot of things are not what you see.”

How did that happen? Si Yan didn't understand. Wasn't it obvious what he saw? Not only him, but even the nanny and servants here could see that Li Jinxing cared about that woman.

"I don't like her..." After a long while, Si Yan said this with red eyes.

“Many things can’t be stopped just because you say you don’t like them.”

Yes, just like he didn't like becoming a motherless child again, but his mother left anyway. He didn't like his parents arguing, but they were both trying to hurt each other...

There were so many things happening around him that he didn't like, and he could only watch things get worse and worse.

Siyan lowered his head somewhat sadly, his younger brother was always by his side.

Li Jinxing didn't want to explain too much to the two kids who knew nothing, nor did he want to keep them here, so he changed the subject.

"Would you like to stay here for dinner tonight? Ask the chef to make you something to eat, and then ask the driver to take you back after you're done."

Si Yan's body stiffened, and he said a little aggrievedly, "Can't we stay here?"

When Li Jinxing met the gazes of the two children, his throat choked. He thought of his sleepwalking at night. His emotions became very unstable and he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and hurt them.

"no."

Si Yan raised the corners of his mouth, swallowed the bitterness, and let out a self-deprecating smile.

"No need, let's go back and eat. Uncle Sun is waiting for us." Si Yan pulled Si Xu hard. Seeing that his brother was still standing there in a daze, he pulled him hard.

Then, without turning around, he said to Li Jinxing in a hoarse voice, "Dad, I wish you a happy marriage."

Li Jinxing looked at the backs of the two children, opened his mouth, but did not explain much.

When they got downstairs, they still saw Jiang Yun's smiling face. It was a gentle smile, but in their eyes it was like a witch's calculating smile.

"Have you met your father?"

Siyan didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and took his brother's hand and walked around him.

Being directly ignored by the two children, Jiang Yun did not get angry. He followed them with a smile: "Don't you want to stay for dinner?"

"No." This time Si Yan responded to her, but he still didn't look back.

After going out, the two children's eyes turned red only when they were watched by the servants and got into the car.

"Brother, do you think Dad is really going to find a stepmother for us?"

"Maybe..."

"But I don't like..."

"So what if he doesn't like it? It depends on whether Dad likes it or not. We can't decide anything."

"Then..." Si Xu's voice was already hoarse, with a faint choking sound, "Doesn't Dad like us anymore? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and he hasn't even asked if we're okay. He won't let us live here, and he even changed the flowers outside. He knows we're allergic to roses, so why would Dad do this..."

Si Yan listened and his eyes turned red and moist. Perhaps, Dad really didn't like them anymore. Because he didn't like Mom, he also didn't like them.

He planted the pink roses to please that woman.

It has been more than a month since leaving Qiule Manor. Li Jinxing only called Butler Sun to briefly inquire about their situation. Even though they were right next to the phone, he was unwilling to say a few more words to them.

Uncle Sun said that Dad cares about them.

But they really couldn't feel that his so-called care was just not calling them, not visiting them, being busy with work, and taking that woman to various important events during the day? People outside had already spread the word that Li Jinxing wanted to establish a hostess, and he never explained it, which meant he acquiesced.

Obviously, he had never taken his mother to these places and had never introduced her to so many people.

Maybe I really don’t care that much and don’t love you deeply enough?

Siyan couldn't say anything. Those words of comfort now seemed like the most ridiculous lies. Siyan could only hug Sixu tightly, and the two brothers snuggled up to each other.

…

The two troublesome children left, and Jiang Yun raised the corner of his mouth. In fact, if he wanted to force Li Jinxing to submit, he could also kidnap the two children. Why didn't that man think of it? He was probably afraid of Li Jinxing, right?

At night, Jiang Yun entered Li Jinxing's room. She had observed this room before and found that there was a safe. She didn't dare to try the password for fear of setting off an alarm if she made a mistake.

However, that person gave her a time limit, so even if she didn't want to try, she had to try.

But she had no chance, as servants were watching her during the day, and there were people everywhere, upstairs and downstairs.

At night, she and Li Jinxing slept in the same room, and she didn't dare to act rashly.

Jiang Yun told Mr. Liu the password of the safe.

Mr. Liu sent him a string of numbers ending in 0930

——Try this.

The man was not sure either, he was just gambling that the password was Gu Wanqiu's birthday.

Jiang Yun remembered that she and Li Jinxing had nothing to say to each other. Because of the inner pressure, she didn't even dare to talk much to Li Jinxing, for fear of revealing her true identity. The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make. She just had to keep quiet.

Li Jinxing ignored him because he was in a bad mood because of sleepwalking at night. Although he seemed to have slept enough, his body was always active at night, even more than during the day. He never got a good rest. He didn't rest during the day because of work, so his mental state was getting worse and worse. He felt sleepy before nine o'clock.

Although he was sleepy, he could not fall asleep once he closed his eyes. It took him a long time to fall asleep. Now sleeping had brought him psychological pressure. He was afraid that once he fell asleep, his body would get up uncontrollably and he would go downstairs to dig stones.

He had been digging for six days and had piled up twelve stones.

He didn't know when this kind of thing would end. Now he had brought Jiang Yun in again, and he just hoped that he could be more normal tonight.

After Li Jinxing lay down, although he closed his eyes, he could feel someone looking at him. He opened his eyes, propped himself up slightly, and met Jiang Yun's gaze.

Jiang Yun looked away in panic.

This woman gave him a feeling of being a little abnormal today.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Jiang Yun curled the corners of her lips and said, "Today I met Mr. Li's two children for the first time. I felt a little uncomfortable. They seemed to think I was going to be their stepmother."
