Chapter 195 The Father and Son's Self-Torture

Jiang Xu changed out of her wedding dress and Xia Yulin came over.

"Mom, what do you want to say?"

Jiang Xu had already noticed that she had something to say.

Xia Yulin sighed softly: "I do have something to ask you. Are you... planning to get back together with He Yanting?"

These words made Jiang Xu pause.

"Don't blame me for being nosy. I truly feel that he really cares about you."

Xia Yulin looked at her and said, "Besides, the previous misunderstandings have been resolved. You are no longer enemies. The most important thing is... Tuanbao, he really needs a home."

Jiang Xu pursed her lips and did not answer immediately.

Xia Yulin held her hand and said, "Mom is not forcing you. It depends on your feelings."

Jiang Xu lowered his eyes: "Actually, I don't know either. I'm not ready yet."

Xia Yulin gently stroked the back of her hand: "Don't worry, take your time."

When they came out of the locker room and opened the door, they saw He Yanting's tall figure standing at the door.

Just as Jiang Xu appeared, a small figure emerged from behind He Yanting.

"Mother."

Tuanbao gave her a sweet smile.

Jiang Xu was very surprised: "Tuanbao, aren't you going to kindergarten today?"

Tuanbao secretly glanced at He Yanting and said calmly, "I felt a little unwell today, so my father didn't let me go to kindergarten."

Jiang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Tuanbao opened his mouth and looked at He Yanting.

He Yanting coughed dryly: "Why are you looking at me? Your mother is asking you something. Are you feeling unwell?"

"Right...right here."

Tuanbao pointed to his belly and said, "I want my mother to come home and take care of me."

Jiang Xu glanced at He Yanting suspiciously, then looked at Tuanbao seriously: "Good boy, tell mommy, who taught you this?"

"No! Dad definitely didn't teach me!"

Tuanbao categorically denied it.

He Yanting raised his hand and pressed his solar plexus, his face speechless: "What a stupid teammate."

Jiang Xu finally understood that the older one was teaching the younger one a trick of self-torture!

"Tuanbao, are you going to lie to your mother?"

Jiang Xu pouted and pretended to be angry.

Tuanbao couldn't hold it in any longer, ran forward two steps, and hugged her: "Dad taught me that. He said that as long as I pretended to be sick, Mom would come home. It's all his fault!"

Jiang Xu patted his head and said, "Be good, Mommy is not angry with you."

She stood up and looked at He Yanting: "What do you usually teach your children?"

He Yanting scratched the back of his head awkwardly: "Uh...it's okay to teach him how to pursue his wife. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

Jiang Xu snorted softly, and was suddenly grabbed by a soft little hand.

"Mom, come home. I want to live with you."

His big, cute eyes were filled with anticipation, making it impossible for Jiang Xu to refuse.

"Mom has to go stay with grandma. How about this, I'll go over to stay with you next Monday. You just need to wait for three more days."

Although Tuanbao was a little disappointed, she agreed anyway, so she nodded.

Then he extended his pinky finger: "Pin it!"

After making the promise, Jiang Xu kissed Tuanbao and prepared to leave with Xia Yulin.

"Soft."

Suddenly, He Yanting called her, his lips curled up, his eyes full of tenderness, "Tuanbao and I will be waiting for you to come home."

"I'm here to accompany Tuanbao, not you."

Jiang Xu muttered something, glanced at Tuanbao again, and then left with Xia Yulin.

Watching them enter the elevator, He Yanting tapped Tuanbao on the head gently and said, "Your acting is terrible. You got caught so quickly."

Tuanbao rubbed his head and humphed, "It's mainly because the teacher taught so poorly."

"hiss--"

He Yanting laughed angrily and picked him up, "You little brat, you've grown wings and dared to talk back."

Tuanbao struggled for a few times and shouted, "Mom! Mom, save me!"

—

Jiang Xu stayed with Xia Yulin for three days.

The injustice she suffered back then was cleared up, and her mood improved a lot. Seeing her mother getting better, Jiang Xu was also very happy.

Tuanbao video calls her every day and counts down with his milky voice.

"Mom, come and stay with me in two days."

"Mom, there's only one day left, don't forget."

"Mom, can Dad and I pick you up from get off work tomorrow?"

…

Jiang Xu could occasionally see He Yanting's figure from a corner of the video, and guessed that these words were most likely taught to Tuanbao by him.

However, after not seeing him for a few days, she really missed Tuanbao.

So he agreed immediately: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Tuanbao was so happy that his eyes curved like crescent moons. After hesitating for a moment, he shyly said, "Mom, I love you."

"Yeah, Mommy loves Tuanbao too."

Jiang Xu's heart softened, and she wished she could rush into the screen, hug Tuanbao and kiss him hard.

The next day, the project team had very important experimental data to collect.

She was busy in the laboratory all day.

During lunch break, I heard my colleagues discussing that a particularly delicious dessert shop had opened near the west gate of the school, and many people came from far away to buy dessert for their children.

Jiang Xu wanted to buy a small cake for Tuanbao, so she left work twenty minutes early.

The west gate is located in a remote area and there are relatively few people. Outside is a tree-lined avenue. Although it is near the school, Jiang Xu still quickened his pace.

Suddenly, a van came from behind and stopped beside her.

Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, and just as the car door opened, she felt something was wrong and immediately quickened her pace.

"Chase after them!"

Two men wearing masks got out of the car, whispered something, and ran towards Jiang Xu.

Seeing this, Jiang Xu ran away immediately.

Just run through this section and the main road is outside.

As she ran, she took out her cell phone from her bag and called He Yanting without thinking.

The next second, a hand covered her mouth from behind.

Jiang Xu knew she couldn't escape, so she broke the pearl bracelet she was wearing and threw it on the ground.

East gate of campus.

The Rolls-Royce parked quietly by the roadside.

"Dad, how long will it take for Mom to get off work?"

Tuanbao was swinging his legs anxiously in his seat.

He Yanting glanced at his watch and said, "There are still fifteen minutes left."

Tuanbao pouted: "Can we go find her?"

He Yanting pressed his solar plexus: "Do you think I don't want to?"

"oh."

Tuanbao sighed, pulled the car window with both hands, and looked out eagerly.

Suddenly, the cell phone rang.

When He Yanting saw the caller, his dark eyes lit up. He was about to pick up the phone, but it was hung up.

Wrong number?

He frowned, but dialed back.

The phone rang a few times and then was hung up.

He Yanting took a breath and said helplessly: "I don't even want to answer the phone."

He put down the phone, and after a few seconds, he felt uneasy and called again.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Please try again later."

He Yanting's eyebrows twitched, and he felt something was wrong.

"Lao Liu, drive in and go to the laboratory building."

He ordered in a deep voice.

When they arrived at the laboratory building, he said to Tuanbao, "Wait in the car."

After saying that, without waiting for Tuanbao to answer, he took Gao Cheng upstairs to find Jiang Xu.

Five minutes later.

Gao Cheng came out of the laboratory and said to He Yanting, "Mr. He, they said that the wife left work more than ten minutes ago."

He Yanting lowered his head and continued to dial the phone, but it was still turned off.

His face looked very ugly.

After two seconds of silence, he said coldly, "Go to the security department and check the surveillance to find out where she went. The sooner the better."

Gao Cheng looked at his expression and nodded immediately: "I'll go right away."
