Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
"Auntie, do you feel that our Jinchen seems to have become a lot more lively?" Su Ruixue said casually.
Xia Yu'an, nestled in He Meiqi's arms, suddenly stopped eating the fruit, his eyes rolled around, and he looked at He Meiqi and then at Su Ruixue.
I already have a guess in my mind. This woman is probably the stepmother that Li Jinchen mentioned?
The little hands unconsciously stuffed fruits into the mouth, stuffing the cheeks so full that it looked like a little hamster hoarding food.
When Meiqi saw this scene, her heart melted: "Now that you mention it, it's true. My precious grandson has taken the initiative to call me grandma."
As he said this, he did not forget to scratch Xia Yuan's little nose with great affection.
Xia Yuan shrank his neck, feeling a little guilty.
He tilted his head slightly to look at Su Ruixue, wondering if he was too complacent.
Su Ruixue's eyes flashed: "It seems that my uncle's medicine really worked. As long as Jinchen can get better, that's better than anything else."
He Meiqi paused teasing Xia Yu'an's hand and said, "Now that you mention it, it really reminds me that Jinchen hasn't been sick for a long time."
In the past, she would yell and scream if I wasn't paying attention. Unless Li Hanting was at home, the whole house would be in chaos and she couldn't even take care of a child.
He Meiqi still feels scared when she thinks about the past.
She took Su Ruixue's hand and said, "Ruixue, go back and ask your uncle, Jinchen has been taking medicine for such a long time, does he need to go for a follow-up check?"
The housekeeper came to serve tea, and after hearing what He Meiqi said, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xia Yu'an put down the fruit, raised his head, puffed out his cheeks and said, "No, it's medicine."
"Be good, baby. You will get better only after taking the medicine. You can also play with your good friends and classmates, okay?" He Meiqi didn't take the child's thoughts to heart at all. She just thought that the child was afraid of taking the medicine.
"Grandma, I'm not sick, I'm not sick..." Xia Yuan was so anxious that he almost scratched his head. He was also worried that Su Ruixue would see through him, so he could only carefully imitate Li Jinchen's expression.
The butler glanced at Xia Yuan's small stature, placed the tea, folded his hands, and stepped aside.
Some things should be discussed with your wife in private.
"Grandma..." Xia Yuan shouted loudly, trying to get the adults to pay attention to what he said.
Originally, Xia Yuan didn't know about this, but after living in Li Jinchen's room, he saw the medicine on the bedside table and the neatly arranged medicine boxes in the drawer.
Xia Yuan ran to the housekeeper with the medicine box and asked him. The housekeeper told him that these were for treating his illness.
Of course Xia Yuan was not sick. After carefully questioning Li Jinchen, Xia Yuan finally understood the whole story.
He was so angry that he threw all the medicine into the trash can. The housekeeper saw it, said nothing, and told him that as long as the young master was happy, it was fine.
Xia Yuan suddenly felt that there was someone in this family who understood him.
But what did he hear at this moment? This evil woman attributed his transformation to the fact that he had taken the medicine and recovered...
Xia Yuan was so angry that he wanted to grab something and smear it on the woman's face. He was determined in his heart that he would let his parents be together and would not give this woman any loopholes.
"Grandma is not sick. Daddy... said so." Xia Yuan knelt in He Meiqi's arms, with his little hands around her neck, earnestly conveying his meaning.
But Meiqi He misunderstood: "Your father said you're not sick? And then he won't let you take medicine?"
Xia Yu'an: "..."
"Han Ting, the child is sick and needs treatment. Can we do whatever the parents want?" He Meiqi got angry all of a sudden.
"Auntie, don't be angry. Brother Han Ting may have his own ideas..." Su Ruixue persuaded in time.
"What do you mean by 'own thoughts'? These days, it's all about scientific evidence." He Meiqi interrupted Su Ruixue and turned to the housekeeper, "Tell Han Ting to come down quickly. Ruixue is here, why is he still upstairs?"
"The master is in a meeting!" said the butler.
"Dad is very busy." Xia Yuan followed.
As soon as the good grandson spoke, He Meiqi's attitude changed 180 degrees and she pinched his nose: "You are the only one who knows that your father is busy."
Su Ruixue had a perfect, elegant and gentle smile on her face from beginning to end.
…
When Li Hanting came down from upstairs with the phone in his hand, he heard the laughter and chatter of the women downstairs, it was so lively.
Walking down the spiral staircase, the two women in the living room also saw him.
He Meiqi scolded, "You are really something! Ren Ruixue has been here for a long time, and you haven't come down to accompany her. Are you really that busy with work?"
Li Hanting's stern and handsome face, which was so infuriating that it could inflict indignation on both humans and gods, showed no emotion at all. He said calmly to the person on the other end of the phone, "You decide. I'm hanging up."
After turning off his phone, he finally had the leisure to deal with the trivial matters at hand.
He Meiqi had been worried about Li Hanting's lifelong affairs in the past few years. It was not until Li Hanting suddenly brought back a precious grandson like Jinchen without saying a word that she stopped attacking him personally and devoted her whole body and mind to raising her precious grandson.
However, as her precious grandson grows up, he can't live without his mother. No matter how much his grandparents love him, it can't compare to the companionship and education provided by his parents. So He Meiqi really hopes that Li Hanting can get married. This will give her precious grandson a healthy family, and perhaps it will also greatly improve his physical condition.
Look, it’s become much more lively now.
He Meiqi stood up while muttering, and did not forget to hold Xia Yu'an in her arms, saying: "Let's go, dear, go to the kitchen with grandma, and grandma will make you something delicious."
Grandma, are you sure you don’t want to make room for Dad and this bad woman?
Xia Yuan held cherries in his left hand and strawberries in his right hand. His little mouth was full and he was too busy to care about anything.
When there was no one in the living room, Su Ruixue stood up shyly.
"Brother Han Ting..."
Li Hanting strode over, dressed formally for the meeting. His gray shirt draped over his muscular frame, he casually slumped into the sofa, crossed his legs, and then tilted his chin slightly as he loosened his tie.
He looked extremely tired. Even at home, he didn't have the same unapproachable, superior air he had at work. But the cold, powerful aura that lingered around him still made him seem inviolable.
The man's eyes, as deep as a deep well, shot at the woman not far away, without any emotion, which made Su Ruixue feel a sense of pressure in her heart unconsciously.
"Brother Han Ting, what's wrong?" She asked softly, then smiled gently and walked over to sit next to the man. "Brother Han Ting, I called Secretary Qin to ask when you're free. Did Secretary Qin tell you that you haven't been with me for a long time?"
