Chapter 84: The Switched Baby?

Sunday.

After consulting with Jiang Yingxu, the driver parked the car on the side of the road, two streets away from the residential area.

It's likely that Yan Zhaozhou said something beforehand.

The driver wasn't at all surprised that Jiang Yingxu was carrying a cat to his birthday party. He diligently got out of the car, opened the door, offered snacks and water, and focused on driving.

The expensive club was booked out entirely by the young master of the Yan family with a single wave of his hand.

From afar, you can see the large red and gold banner unfurled at the gate.

—The King of Boats has arrived! The entire Zhou family army assembles to wish him a happy seventeenth birthday!

It's obvious that this was done by an acquaintance or friend.

After Jiang Yingxu got off the bus, he indeed saw several boys making a ruckus at the entrance.

"Yan Zhaozhou, did you secretly resort to ruthless tactics?"

"The Zhou family army is so mighty!"

"I was just kindly wishing you would lose your virginity soon, and ugh, why are you chasing after me and hitting me!"

Yan Zhaozhou's brow twitched, and he kicked the man in the butt again, laughing and scolding, "Who told you to act crazy? You know our family motto: be faithful to one's husband from beginning to end, understand?"

The man winked and said, "Oh, I forgot, our young master Yan has a fiancée~"

"Hey, Zhu Ting! Why are you hiding so far away?"

The girl who was called lazily turned around. Her bright red halter dress accentuated her fair skin, and her arrogant eyes met Yan Zhaozhou's gaze. She rolled her eyes, snapped on her sunglasses, and adopted an attitude of out of sight, out of mind.

Yan Zhaozhou also clicked his tongue lightly, and the two looked away with mutual dislike.

He saw Jiang Yingxu walking towards him.

He raised his eyebrows and greeted them, "You're here."

The boy who was being chased by Yan Zhaozhou patted the footprints on his butt, looked at Jiang Yingxu curiously, and spoke in a very familiar manner.

"Hey bro, I'm Sheng Shuo, Yan Zhaozhou's childhood friend."

He pointed to the two people on the other side, "The one with glasses who looks refined is Liao Chengqing, and the one dressed in bright colors, flashy and wearing an earring is Liang Luo."

"And there's that stunningly beautiful woman over there, Zhu Ting."

The three people who were named all smiled at Jiang Yingxu in a friendly manner.

Zhu Ting pulled down her sunglasses, her gaze lingering on Jiang Yingxu's loose sweatshirt and trousers for a few seconds before she frowned.

It's a bit far away, so I can't see the details clearly, but the style looks very familiar.

Is it such a common model?

Jiang Yingxu paused for a moment, then, under Sheng Shuo's expectant gaze, said in a calm voice, "Jiang Yingxu."

Sheng Shuo clapped his hands: "Little Jiang!"

Jiang Yingxu: "?"

Yan Zhaozhou: "?"

Yan Zhaozhou scoffed, hooked his arm around Sheng Shuo's neck, and said irritably, "He's older than us, a senior in high school. He can score 732 out of 750 on a test, and he can even get full marks on competition papers. You're a failing student, and you still have the nerve to call yourself Xiao Jiang?"

Sheng Shuo gasped and cupped his hands in greeting.

"So it's Jiang Shen, my apologies for not recognizing you. No wonder I could tell you had an extraordinary air about you at first glance. Even your cat is as beautiful as a fairy."

Liang Luo scoffed, "You can't even pass Chinese class, what are you pretending to be so cultured for?"

He then asked Yan Zhaozhou, "Are you two very familiar with each other?"

Otherwise, how could Yan Zhaozhou, who can barely remember his own grades, recite Jiang Yingxu's grades so fluently?

Yan Zhaozhou: "..."

Young Master Yan, with an arrogant and lazy expression, pretended not to hear and beckoned everyone to go inside.

hehe.

Are we familiar with each other? Not at all.

Yan Zhaozhou was the most outstanding person in the capital, and his talent was praised by countless teachers.

As a result, they were transferred to Ningcheng.

The test paper became more difficult, but he could still handle it with ease.

Unfortunately, they suffered a setback in the competition class.

With Zou Yuanyuan putting him in second place, and Jiang Yingxu consistently achieving perfect scores, he was quite flamboyant.

The young master was both furious and gritting his teeth, attending extra classes, yet he couldn't help but feel admiration.

The last person he admired like this was his cousin, Yan Shuli.

Of course, he would never let anyone know that Jiang Yingxu was cold and indifferent to him, yet he still insisted on sending him an invitation.

Doesn't Young Master Yan have any pride?

Just as he was thinking about his cousin, Yan Shuli came out from inside.

Dressed in a suit and tie, with a composed demeanor.

Although they were all around the same age, the few loud and rebellious guys became more obedient and respectfully bowed their heads to call Yan Shuli "Brother Shuli" as if they were seeing an elder.

Yan Shuli greeted him warmly with a smile on his lips.

"Have fun today. If you need anything, just call me. I've arranged everything. Put all the bills on Xiaozhou's tab."

His gaze shifted and landed on Jiang Yingxu behind him.

He extended his hand and said, "Hello, I am Xiaozhou's older brother, Yan Shuli."

Jiang Yingxu lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the other person's long, fair hands without any calluses, and said in a low, cold voice, "Sorry, I don't like physical contact."

Yan Shuli raised an eyebrow and readily withdrew his hand.

Just as Xiaozhou complained.

She has a very aloof and cold personality.

He lowered his gaze slightly, meeting the stare of the kitten in the boy's arms, which was staring intently at him. For a moment, he felt that the kitten's eyes were quite human, as if it were sizing him up.

Yan Shuli chuckled and said, "Xiao Zhou said your cat is very smart and even picks you up from school. It is indeed very intelligent."

“I’ve spoken to the manager, and he’s set aside a room with a cat tree and toys. When Xiaozhou and the others are playing, you can leave the cat in the room without worry. There will be someone to look after it, and a chef will prepare nutritious cat food for lunch.”

A very steady and appropriate arrangement.

Jiang Yingxu nodded politely in thanks.

Yan Shuli glanced at his watch. "Xiao Zhou, take your friends inside. Your uncle and aunt's private jet should be arriving soon. I'll go pick them up."

Yan Zhaozhou: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, brother."

They passed each other by.

Shi Miao nestled in Jiang Yingxu's arms, her paws pressing against his shoulder, and couldn't help but peek out her little head to watch Yan Shuli's departing figure.

She thought of the family portrait that was carefully arranged on the cabinet at home.

A charming man, a gentle and beautiful woman, and Jiang Yingxu held in their arms.

Yan Shuli looks a lot like them.

With her mother's gentle eyes and her father's high nose bridge, her features appear somewhat blunt compared to Yan Zhaozhou's sharp and aggressive features.

System: [They were originally their child.]

[Look at Jiang Yingxu and Yan Zhaozhou standing together, don't they look more like brothers?]

They all feature sharp, angular lines.

Shi Miao looked up at Jiang Yingxu's profile, admiring it for a moment, and then thought, "Jiang Yingxu is much more handsome."

If Jiang Yingxu and Yan Shuli hadn't been switched at birth...

The kitten twitched its ears, its tiny body showing great thought, and finally shook its head, abandoning this meaningless hypothesis.

The unexpected events that led to the original book have already altered the course of their lives.

Most importantly, there was Jiang Yingxu standing in front of her.

"..."

Zhu Ting had been paying attention to Jiang Yingxu both openly and secretly, and the familiar outfit made her inexplicably curious.

Therefore, when she pretended to approach casually, she keenly noticed Jiang Yingxu's brief pause and obvious dazed state.

Zhu Ting crossed her arms and coldly reminded him, "Hey, Jiang, if you keep walking, you're going to bump into a vase."

Jiang Yingxu's eyelashes fluttered, and his gaze focused on the decorative porcelain vase at the corner in front of him.

His thin lips moved slightly, his throat tightened, and after a pause, he said thank you in a hoarse voice.

...Was the baby switched at birth?
