Chapter 162 He is indeed his own son

Looking at Tuanbao's serious expression, Jiang Xu cried and laughed.

"Okay, I won't cry anymore."

She wiped away her tears and stood up.

He Yanting took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, his voice a little dry as he spoke: "Tuanbao, actually, it was my responsibility that your mother left."

"I don't want to hear it."

Tuanbao frowned and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the garden outside. His small back looked stubborn and lonely.

He Yanting continued, "I did something wrong and hurt her. She worked very hard to give birth to you."

Tuanbao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at his toes.

He Yanting wanted to persuade him, but was stopped by Jiang Xu.

Tuanbao’s problem cannot be solved by an explanation, and it would be bad to put too much pressure on him now.

She walked over to Tuanbao and whispered, "Tuanbao, I'm sorry I haven't been with you these past four years, but...I never regret it. I also have my own ideals and pursuits in life."

Tuanbao lowered his head even lower and clenched his fists.

Jiang Xu touched his little head: "But you are my child. I have never forgotten you in these four years. When I am with you, I am very happy."

Tuanbao didn't dodge, but he didn't respond either.

Jiang Xu didn't want to force him and planned to give him some time to digest it.

At this time, a staff member came over and said, "Mr. He, Mr. Qin invited you to attend the dinner tonight. He said he has something to discuss with you about cooperation."

He Yanting nodded: "Well, tell him I will go."

Jiang Xu said, "I should go too. Mr. Xu still needs me."

After saying that, she glanced at Tuanbao and turned to leave.

Tuanbao silently turned his head and looked in the direction where Jiang Xu left. His eyes were filled with resentment and a hint of nostalgia.

He Yanting walked over and stroked the child's head with his big hand to comfort him.

When Jiang Xu went to find Xu Tianzhong, he met Jiang Xueruo.

Seeing her red eyes, which clearly showed that she had been crying, Jiang Xueruo raised the corners of her mouth proudly: "Your own son doesn't recognize you, you must be very sad, right?"

She sighed artificially, "She was cruelly abandoned by you at birth, so it's normal for her to resent you. She probably thinks from the bottom of her heart that you are not worthy of being a mother."

Jiang Xu looked at her expressionlessly.

The corners of his mouth curled up sarcastically: "Do you think that just because he hates me, you can take advantage of it?"

Jiang Xueruo touched her face and asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Jiang Xu curled her red lips slightly and took two steps forward.

Jiang Xueruo was frightened by the coldness in her eyes and quickly stepped back.

"I'm warning you, keep your dirty paws away from Tuanbao. Also, I'm not done with you for throwing away the letter my grandma gave me. Let's see what happens."

Jiang Xu spoke word by word, then turned and left.

Jiang Xueruo bit her lip and snorted coldly, "It's just bluffing. It's said that He Yanting has secretly designated Tuanbao as the heir to Shengyu Group. As long as you can please that child, Jiang Xu, you are nothing."

"Besides—"

She touched her delicate face and said, "I still have this face, which is my greatest confidence."

Jiang Xu found Xu Tianzhong, who was about to have dinner with investors.

Jiang Xu was not in the mood, so she declined.

After they left, Jiang Xu didn't want to stay any longer. When he walked out, he met Lin Yue, Zhuang Ze and others who were about to leave at the door.

When they saw her, they were stunned at first and no one dared to speak.

It wasn't until Jiang Xu rolled her eyes at them that Lin Yue smiled: "Sister-in-law, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell us?"

Jiang Xu said indifferently: "I'm not a big shot, what do I need to inform you?"

"To welcome you!"

Lin Yue's face was full of smiles, and he even bent his waist a few degrees. "In the past few years, not only Fourth Brother missed you, but all of us brothers also thought about you all the time."

Jiang Xu: "Are you saying bad things about me?"

"Ahem, how dare I!" Lin Yue flatly denied it.

Zhuang Ze and Huo Qi Yu also greeted her respectfully.

These people are all smart people. They were not sure what Fourth Brother thought of Jiang Xu before, but when they saw He Yanting jumping into the lake to save people just now, they all knew what was going on.

Jiang Xu was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with these young men, so he just left.

Zhuang Ze sighed, "You said that Jiang Xueruo had her face made to look so much like my sister-in-law. It would be so embarrassing if we mistakenly recognized her in the future!"

"You idiot, it's hard to tell the difference."

Lin Yue looked confident. "The one who looks flattering when she sees us is Jiang Xueruo, and we don't need to pay attention to her. The one who rolls her eyes and looks disgusted when she sees us is her sister-in-law, and we need to be respectful to her."

Zhuang Ze and Huo Qiyu agreed deeply and nodded at the same time: "That makes sense."

Jiang Xu walked to the side of the road, wrapped her coat tightly, took out her cell phone to hail a taxi, and suddenly heard someone calling her.

"lady."

At a glance, it was Gao Cheng, standing in front of the Rolls-Royce.

He opened the back door and said, "Please get in."

Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

There were two men, one big and one small, sitting in the car. They were silent and had cold faces.

As she approached, the two men looked at her at the same time.

She stood in front of the car, hesitating whether to get in. He Yanting said, "You can't park here. Do you want me to get a fine?"

Jiang Xu thought: You have so much money, are you afraid of being fined?

After getting in the car, the door closed.

He Yanting said calmly, "I'll treat you to lunch at noon. No, I'll treat me to lunch."

Jiang Xu:?

He Yanting said as if it was a matter of course: "I jumped into the lake to save you, and you can't even afford to treat me to a meal?"

Of course Jiang Xu was willing to give it up, but...

She looked at Tuanbao, wondering if he would like to have dinner with her.

He Yanting stretched his legs, his expression relaxed: "He Linxi, your mother invites us to dinner, do you want to go?"

Tuanbao sat upright between the two of them, not looking at Jiang Xu, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Xu was in a dilemma for a moment, as she didn't know Tuanbao's preferences.

Suddenly, the phone beeped.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a message from He Yanting, with a long list of dish names.

[Kung Pao Chicken, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Braised Prawns, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes...]

Jiang Xu recited a few dishes based on the above content.

He Yanting glanced at Tuanbao: "How is it, young master, are you satisfied?"

Tuanbao nodded: "It's okay."

Jiang Xu told the driver the name of a restaurant where Xia Yulin had taken her before and the chef was very good.

When they arrived, they lined up at the door.

Because it was the weekend, many adults came with their children to eat.

At this time, a cart carrying vegetables passed by, and Jiang Xu subconsciously pulled Tuanbao to his side.

Tuanbao did not resist.

He was looking at another child not far away.

The little boy also came with his parents. Tuanbao raised his chin proudly, raised his eyebrows at him, and silently approached Jiang Xu.

That expression seemed to be saying: What are you looking at? I have a mother too.

Finally it was their turn. The waiter led them to their seats and sat them down. Jiang Xu ordered a few dishes that Tuanbao liked and asked He Yanting if there was anything he wanted to eat.

He Yanting ordered two at random.

Soon, all the dishes were served. Jiang Xu did not pick up his chopsticks, but put on gloves and prepared to peel shrimp for Tuanbao.

At this time, He Yanting raised his hand and held her down.

"Let me do it, you eat."

Jiang Xu was unhappy: "No, I'll peel it for him."

He Yanting curled his lips: "Can you?"

Jiang Xu: “…”

She has no idea how to do it at all. When she was a child, her grandparents and mother helped her peel the shrimps. After she fell in love, He Yanting helped her peel the shrimps.

But she was not convinced and picked up a prawn and started peeling it.

Ten minutes later.

He Yanting and Tuanbao looked at her with frowns on their faces.

Jiang Xu smiled awkwardly: "Almost there, just a little bit more."

He Yanting said helplessly: "Wait until you finish peeling. We have to eat until the evening. Let me do it."

Jiang Xu put the shrimps that had been peeled and broken into eight pieces with great difficulty into Tuanbao's bowl.

At this time, a child's laughter came from the side.

"Look at that auntie, she's peeling the shrimps into small pieces."

Jiang Xu was extremely embarrassed.

Tuanbao glared at the child and said coldly, "Shut up."

The boy was so frightened that he stopped laughing immediately.

Tuanbao lowered his head, picked up the spoon and silently ate all the shrimps.

Jiang Xu was deeply moved by what he saw. If his hands weren't covered in oil, he really wanted to hug Tuanbao and give him a big kiss. He was indeed his own son.
