Although Tao Ying agreed to date him, she didn't want to marry him.

This is still her biological son in name only, so everything is perfectly reasonable.

Tao Ying smiled at Jiang Huan and fell asleep in Wang Baomin's arms.

Jiang Huan could only dutifully drive the car.

When the three returned home, they saw four people anxiously waiting in the yard.

“Mom…” Wang Baoshan rushed over.

"Mom's asleep, keep your voice down," Wang Baomin said softly.

After asking the questions, the group immediately quieted down. Wang Baomin took Tao Ying back to her room, gently covered her with a blanket, and then pulled Jiang Huan out, closing the door behind him.

In fact, Wang Baomin had an urge to lock the door.

However, considering that Uncle Jiang had saved Mom's life, she held back.

"Mom is alright, Uncle Jiang saved her," Wang Baomin said softly to the others after they came out.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang," the group quickly said.

"Thank you, Xiao Jiang." Zhou Daya looked at Jiang Huan suspiciously, feeling that something was different.

"Aunt Zhou, we're family, so let's not be so formal," Jiang Huan said politely.

"What…"

"Uncle Jiang, Second Brother, we just went to Wang Baojun's house, but no one has been there for three days." Wang Baoshan didn't understand the meaning behind Jiang Huan's words.

"Where did he go?" Wang Baomin asked in shock.

Is it really Wang Baojun?

"You guys should search carefully tomorrow. The only person who could have harmed Tao Ying is someone you know well, and they'll suffer the consequences. I have to go back to my unit tomorrow, so I won't be able to help you search. How about I take Tao Ying back first and send her back once she's recovered?"

To be honest, Jiang Huan really didn't want to part with Tao Ying.

They've only just started dating, and he's already going back like this. I really hate to see him go.

But there's nothing you can do; once a decision has been made, it can't be changed.

"No need, we have so many children, how could we need you to take care of us? Uncle Jiang, it's really unfortunate that you're going back now. When you take your next vacation, give me a call in advance. You're always welcome at my house." Wang Baomin realized he had gotten too excited and quickly tried to make amends.

"Xiao Jiang, you should go and rest first. You can make do in Bao Min's room tonight. Bao Min, you can go to Bao Shan's room. Xiao Xue, don't go back either, stay in Chun Tao's room for now. Xiao Jiang has to go back tomorrow, we'll find him ourselves," Zhou Daya said softly.

"Understood, Aunt Zhou." Jiang Huan couldn't possibly stoop to Wang Baomin's level.

Despite Wang Baomin's usual mature demeanor, Tao Ying is, after all, his mother, so how could he not feel repulsed by her?

"Uncle Jiang and I..." Wang Baomin now only wanted to guard against Jiang Huan at all costs, fearing that Jiang Huan would sneak into his mother's room again at night.

"Go back inside right now, or I'll kick you." Zhou Daya glared at Wang Baomin with a fierce expression.

Wang Baomin immediately stopped saying anything and followed behind Wang Baoshan with his head down, looking aggrieved.

“Aunt Zhou, I don’t mind,” Jiang Huan explained softly.

"Whether you mind or not, as long as Ying'er is sure, we will support her." Zhou Daya was also reluctant, but she wouldn't object.

None of us have the right to object to who Tao Ying is with.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You used to respect Uncle Jiang quite a bit, didn't you?" Back in the room, Wang Baoshan asked Wang Baomin, who had a dark expression, with some confusion.

“Who doesn’t respect him? I respect him a lot. It’s just that it seems like Mom agreed to date him. Do you think Mom decided to be with him to repay a debt of gratitude? Or am I useless and can’t help Mom at all?” Wang Baomin squatted down, holding his head, looking extremely distressed.

“What does this have to do with you? No matter what your reasons are for deciding to be with Uncle Jiang, it’s your choice. It’s not easy for Uncle Jiang to do this for Mom. Dad hasn’t been around for many years, it’s time for Mom to take another step forward.”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he was also a little uncomfortable, but he was not as unable to accept it as Wang Baomin.

In Wang Baoshan's view, everyone has the right to pursue happiness, and there is no need to make his mother live a lonely life for the rest of her life because of people like him.

Mom is only 47 this year, she'll live at least another 30 years, and she and Dad have only been together for 24 or 25 years.

There's plenty of time ahead of us.

Don't be fooled by how many of us are now revolving around our mother; in a few years, we'll all be gone.

Back then, Mom was so lonely, so it's good that she has a companion now.

Uncle Jiang is excellent in every way, except that he doesn't have these few burdens of his own; even his mother wouldn't be good enough for him.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Do you think it might be Wang Baojun?" Wang Baomin rubbed his head irritably and asked Wang Baoshan in a low voice.

"I don't know, but didn't you say that the person who harmed Mom would suffer a backlash? Let's go look for it tomorrow. No matter what kind of demons or monsters they are, they will eventually reveal themselves." Wang Baoshan didn't like to speculate.

Wang Baoshan likes to let the facts speak for themselves; as for who the ghost is, we'll find out tomorrow.

Wang Baomin really couldn't continue speaking...

I fell asleep right there in bed.

The next day, Jiang Huan went out to exercise as usual, and bought breakfast when he came back.

After Wang Chuntao got up, they went to Tao Ying's room together.

Tao Ying lay there quietly. Jiang Huan checked her breathing and found that she was just asleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoying, I'm going back today. Remember to call me when you wake up." Jiang Huan wanted to take Tao Ying's hand, but he restrained himself because of Wang Chuntao standing next to him.

Jiang Huan said goodbye to Tao Ying and left reluctantly. It was only six o'clock when he left.

When Wang Baomin came out of the house, only Wang Chuntao was in the yard. "Uncle Jiang is gone? How is Mom?"

"Uncle Jiang left. He said goodbye to Mom, but she's still the same. Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll go out together in a bit," Wang Chuntao sighed.

"You stay home and take care of Mom." Wang Baomin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma can't ride a bicycle, so let her take care of Mom." Wang Chuntao didn't want to stay at home.

“Grandma has to go to Second Uncle’s place, and Wang Yuexue also said she’s taken leave. You and Wang Yuexue should stay home. That way, you can look after each other if anything happens.” Wang Baomin was actually quite afraid of his grandfather getting involved.

If that's the case, then it depends on what Grandma, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt choose. In any case, Wang Baomin will not let go of anyone who hurts his mother.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Chuntao couldn't find any reason to object.

"What about our sister?" Wang Chuntao asked again.

"Let's wait until she gets back tonight to talk to her. She's pregnant," Wang Baomin sighed.

No one in the family had much of an appetite for breakfast, but they still forced themselves to eat something.

Otherwise, where would we find the strength to look for him? Who knows which mouse hole Wang Baojun has hidden in?

After finishing her meal, Wang Daya went out and hailed a donkey to ride backwards, heading straight to Wang Dashuan's house.
