Chapter 41

As soon as the word "Mr. Jiang" came out, the only sounds left in the living room were the cheerful sounds of two children singing nursery rhymes in their rocking cars. For a few seconds, the silence at the dining table was so eerie that it was unsettling.

Suddenly, Jiang Yizhi chuckled softly: "When did you find out?"

The other party's light and delicate tone unexpectedly calmed Yue Qing's restless heart a little: "Things never happen more than three times. Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences."

In fact, it was not only because she did not stop Mr. Jiang from approaching her, but also because she knew that the Lin siblings might have a close relationship with the child's father. When Lin Shengxi showed such concern for the child again and again, she was mentally prepared. She knew that this day would come sooner or later, but it came earlier than she expected.

She also didn't expect that Mr. Jiang would rather not show up than appear next to the children by coincidence.

If she didn't realize who was in the car the first time Lin Shengxi showed up at the set to play with the two children, she would know who was in the car the second time she saw Mr. Xie alone in the coffee shop, and after those "chance encounters".

It's not that I don't believe this person has strange hobbies and mysophobia, but if he really is mysophobia, his habits are rather strange, after all, he would take the initiative to move things to barbecue.

All the speculations will be confirmed bit by bit.

"Mr. Jiang did not try too hard to hide his identity," she said.

This is also one of the conditions. Yue Qing naturally knows that people like Mr. Jiang will think carefully about everything, especially important things, so he must be extremely cautious. How could he be so close to two children so openly?

Jiang then remained silent.

He took off his glasses and closed them slowly: "You are very smart."

The moment the other person raised his eyes, Yue Qing knew that what he had seen on the grassland before was not an illusion.

This man's eyes are really a sharp weapon. Just his eyes can make his opponent stunned for a few seconds. He is very aggressive. Those glasses are really his best tool for disguise.

Without his glasses, Mr. Jiang even looks younger because of the added gangster vibe.

Yue Qing moved her hands from the dining table and placed them on her legs, gently tugging at the hem of her clothes: "Although I know, I don't quite understand Mr. Jiang's arrangement."

One thing she was clear about was that the man in front of her must have turned her background upside down and was observing her every move when he was not showing up. But she didn't understand why it had been so long, so long that he even bought a house next door and didn't offer to take the child back.

Jiang then hummed, "It can't be arranged now."

Yueqing was puzzled.

What does it mean that it cannot be arranged?

She tried to analyze the situation, her voice slightly cautious, "Are you saying we can't take the child back now?"

This surprised Jiang Sui. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want me to bring them back?"

This rhetorical question made Yueqing even more confused.

As a biological father, if you don't take the child back, do you want to keep him with me?

Putting aside other things, are you willing to do it?

Why is it different from what is said in the script?

"Compared to me, it's more advantageous for the child to be with you in every way," she whispered.

That being said, Jiang Suizhi couldn't see any desire to send the child away from her face. After all, no one would be willing to do that.

Considering Yue Qing's current situation of having to work and earn money, she might think it's best financially for her to return to the Jiang family.

"What about you?" he asked. "What will you do if I take the child back?"

Yueqing was stunned.

She felt that after the child left, she would no longer have any contact with these people. What else could she do?

Or did Jiang Suizhi feel that he would want to go back with his child?

She whispered, "If possible, let me see them occasionally. I won't show up at other times."

Pretty clear-headed.

"How much money did he give you at the beginning?" Jiang Sui asked.

“!”

Here comes the fatal problem.

The reason why Yue Qing did not expose Mr. Jiang after discovering his identity was that he wanted to hold on for a while longer so that he could collect more money, which was why he made that bet with Lin Jian.

But she didn't expect Jiang Sui to make a sudden move today.

If she continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this point, she would inevitably be charged with an additional crime. She had no choice but to come clean in advance and take the initiative into her own hands.

"I've already deposited some money into my two children's accounts. If I have the ability, I'll continue to deposit more money into them. This money will be for them to use when they grow up." She avoided the main point. "But putting all that aside, Mr. Jiang, I hope you know that I'm doing my best to take good care of my two children."

Her original intention was to explain so that the other party would not make things too difficult for her.

Yue Qing thought about it and decided that if Mr. Jiang was determined to take revenge on her as described in the novel, then she would just risk it all and explain everything clearly.

Paying back the money is not just to take the blame. If she really can't do it, she will think of another way to solve it. But now she really wants her two children to grow up well in the future. After all, they gave her the illusion that she still has a home during this period of time.

So if she had the chance, she would also like to be an ordinary aunt like ordinary people, even if she only sees her once during the holidays.

I had Mr. Jiang here these few days out of selfish motives, wanting him to see that I was truly good to the child.

She thought she had planned everything perfectly, but she didn't expect that the person opposite her was not on the same wavelength as her.

Jiang Suiyi's gaze paused noticeably. "Is this the reason you're short of money?"

I was reluctant to give anything to my child. I put all the money I earned into my savings card because I wanted to pay back the debt and give myself a chance to see my child.

Yueqing nodded.

What else could it be?

This left Jiang Suizhi speechless. He used to think this guy was quite smart, but now it seems that he is not that smart.

As long as she doesn't want to, no one can take the child away.

But she just had to be restrained by her so-called sense of morality.

However, Jiang Suizhi did plan to bring the children to live with him. If Yueqing wanted to go back with him, that would be fine. If she didn't want to see the Jiang family, he would buy her a house to ensure that she could have frequent contact with the children.

This is to protect the child and also to protect her.

But that is just the next plan. We can slowly discuss a suitable solution. There are more important things to do right now.

Now that the truth has been revealed, Jiang Suizhi simply made it clear: "Due to some personal reasons, now is not the best time for me to take the child back."

Even though he has now figured out the composition of the Jiang family, he cannot rashly bring the child with him. It is obvious that Jiang Hechang is not a grandfather who can teach a child. From the decisions he made in the past, it can be seen that he is just a businessman.

Jiang Yan's grandfather was very old, and Jiang Suizhi didn't know him very well. Moreover, he was always surrounded by uncles and aunts whose backgrounds were difficult to judge, so he was naturally worried.

If the children were left with him, Jiang Sui could find many professional nannies to take care of them, but nannies are different from those in Yueqing after all, just like Sister Wang in Yueqing cannot provide what she wants for the children now. Even if he wants to provide some psychological needs for the children, he cannot do it at this time.

"You can continue to keep them with you." After a pause, Jiang Sui added, "As for the money, you don't have to pay it back. It's what you deserve. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."

"?"

Although Yue Qing knew that Mr. Jiang would have a change in his opinion of her during this period, she did not expect it to be so great.

"I'm sorry." She hesitated for a moment. "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"If I wanted to take the child back, I wouldn't buy the house across the street." Jiang Sui said, "You know the Jiang family's situation is quite complicated. For the sake of you and the child, it's not appropriate to go back now. And the child prefers you to be around right now."

Yue Qing had only seen the affairs of wealthy families in TV dramas, but after hearing Jiang Suizhi say this, he had a rough idea of ​​it.

She considered it for a moment, then inadvertently loosened her clenched hands: "Then can I ask how long this period of time is?"

Jiang then frowned slightly.

The Jiang family's affairs are trivial, it's just my own fault...

"Not long," he said.

The heart that had just been put at ease was lifted up again, and Yue Qing nodded: "I understand."

"Are you looking forward to me picking them up?" Jiang Sui looked at her thoughtfully.

Yueqing smiled but didn't answer.

She had no right and no reason to say she didn't expect it.

Fortunately, Jiang Suizhi did not ask any further questions, but said: "But I will be next door during this period of time. I hope you can understand."

That's too polite.

Yue Qing had to understand even if she didn't understand. She looked at the two children and asked, "So will they still call you Uncle Xie?"

"Yeah." Jiang nodded. "Children are not good at hiding things. It's best if they don't know at first. As for you... you can just call me by my name from now on."

Leng Bai handed over a business card with his fingertips, and Yue Qing lowered his eyes to look at it.

Jiang followed.

Executive President.

Yueqing accepted the business card but didn't say whether it was good or bad.

"I have something to do at home. I need to go back." Jiang then stood up. "Call me if you have anything."

Yue Qing also stood up: "Okay."

The two kids who were having fun saw their uncle was leaving and waved their hands while sitting on the rocking car. Little Le Jia asked curiously, "Is Uncle going home to have another meal?"

Jiang Suizhi: "..."

"Eat again?" Yue Qing was puzzled.

Just then, the new round of songs on the rocking car ended. In the few seconds between them, little Le Jia turned off the switch himself, jumped off the car and criticized the lying uncle: "Uncle, you used your phone to deceive people. He didn't eat!"

Jiang then sighed softly.

My determination not to take these two brats back became even stronger.

Upon hearing this, Yue Qing couldn't help but look at the other person's phone, and Jiang Sui had to take out his phone again.

Even if children can’t understand it, adults should be able to understand it, right?

He placed the phone in front of Yueqing: "I've eaten."

Perhaps because he wasn’t wearing glasses, Yue Qing could understand the meaning in his eyes a little better: Don’t let them bother me anymore.

She looked at it for a few seconds, then helped him lie and twisted the "little detective"'s head: "Auntie, I testify that uncle has eaten it."

Little Le Jia: “?”

His eyes were full of condemnation.

My aunt actually helped my uncle lie! Humph, the adult world is really dirty.

He clasped his hands together and stomped his feet on the spot, wanting to vent his anger for a minute.

Jiang Sui, finally feeling proud, put on his glasses again, feeling relieved: "Goodbye."

Yue Qing walked over to close the door, and when he saw the other party press the elevator button, he suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, I am also a photographer."

Jiang then turned his head.

"I usually edit a lot of pictures." Yue Qing said in a gentle voice.

“…”

They are all smart people, so who wouldn't understand what she meant?

Jiang Suizhi's tone was filled with disbelief: "Are you going to join them in spurring me on?"

"No." Yue Qing laughed, "I just wanted to say that if you don't mind, you can come to my house for dinner in the future."

Mr. Jiang accepted biscuits from the children and his own lunch box, which shows that he can eat food from outside.

From the picture just now, Yue Qing could also tell that he didn't eat very well. Although she didn't understand why a CEO ate like that, since Mr. Jiang had done her such a big "favor", she couldn't repay him much, but she could do her best in small matters.

"Of course, the choice is yours," she added tactfully.

Jiang Suizhi quickly came back to his senses. Just then, the elevator opened. He held the button for three seconds and said, "Let's talk later."

After saying that, he disappeared in the elevator.

The moment he heard the elevator door close, Yue Qing couldn't help but raise his hand to hold the door frame and let out a light breath.

She glanced out the elevator window. The sunlight was falling, as if celebrating her truly starting a new life.

"It was a good bet."

She said softly.

A second before closing the door, she suddenly remembered something, took out her cell phone and searched for the number on the business card. It was a very formal business card that fit the president's personality. She thought about it and clicked Add, noting Yueqing.

Hearing the ringing of his work phone, Jiang Sui, who had just changed his clothes in the car, picked it up and took a look. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Yue Qing about his secondary phone number.

Just as I was typing and preparing to tell her, I saw a call from Lin Jian on my private cell phone.

"Leqing is going to have an interview with me in a couple of days, and then there's a cocktail party afterward. She probably won't be home that day. You might want to ask her for advice on freeing up a day to talk to the kids. Sister Wang is raising two kids by herself."

"Cocktail party?"

"Yeah, didn't I promise her to create some opportunities for her?"

Jiang Suizhi remembered that the two men were making a bet that day.

Now he knew the reason, to pay back the money Jiang Hechang gave him.

Jiang Suizhi was not ready to be left alone with the two children.

He found that without Yueqing, he had no idea how to deal with the two children. He felt helpless and worried that he would not be able to take good care of them, especially in his current condition.

"No," he said. "She knows who I am."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds: "You didn't quarrel?"

"No." Jiang Suizhi said in a deep voice, "She was surprisingly calm. I guess she knew my identity before I expected."

"I'm not too surprised." Lin Jian smiled, "If it was Yue Qing's reaction, it would be normal."

"How do you say that?"

Lin Jian: "She always gives me this feeling. She can remain calm even if the sky falls. To put it bluntly, it's like she's prepared to isolate herself from everything that happens. I always find it strange. Is this normal for a mother?"

"Why is it abnormal?"

"Jiang Yan is very important to you, right?" Lin Jian asked back.

Jiang Sui did not answer, but this was tantamount to acquiescence.

If it wasn't important he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to find the two children.

"If Jiang Yan were still alive, you would have concerns." Lin Jian gave him an analogy, "Put yourself in his shoes and think about what your state would be like when Jiang Yan was still alive. Would it be the same as before?"

no the same.

Jiang Suizhi got the answer almost instantly. No matter how stubborn he was in front of Jiang Yan, he knew very well how much the life during that period had changed him.

Let him look forward to going home every day, looking forward to having someone waiting for him at home to cook for him.

No matter how annoyed he was with Jiang Yan's chatterboxness, he never really got bored with it, and even felt more hopeful about the future.

I hope to earn more money to buy a bigger house, at least with a room for Jiang Yan.

"Leqing gives me the same feeling as when I first met you." Lin Jian spoke again, "Do you understand what I mean now?"

Jiang Suizhi never deliberately thought about what he was like in the past, nor did he want to recall it. He just felt that life was tiring, but he couldn't die and didn't want to die.

And Yueqing is like this?

From the first time they met until today, everything she did had nothing to do with herself. She didn't buy clothes for herself, she only ate what the children liked, and her bag was always filled with the children's things when she went out. Even the bet with Lin Jian was to collect money and put it in the children's accounts.

Jiang Sui reacted belatedly and felt that the first time he felt that Yue Qing was real was when she was extremely sleepy and woke up on the set.

Her sleepiness and confusion created a barrier between her and her usual composure. Most of the time, she was like today, and she was just as at ease when she revealed his identity in person.

The second time I felt she was real was when we were horse racing on the grassland.

When he recalled that time, there was a desperate fighting spirit in Yueqing's eyes, which made people's blood boil.

Right now, she does give people a feeling that she is hard to grasp and understand.

In Lin Jian's words, if she had a bond, she shouldn't be like this, just like when she had Jiang Yan.

Think about it from another perspective, if he knew that he would lose Jiang Yan, would he be so calm and plan everything that would happen next?

Won't.

Even if he would rather sit in Jiang Yan's car himself, he would let Jiang Yan survive.

Ke Leqing was so calm and willing to send the children back to the Jiang family, and even made plans for the children's future.

Very rational, but abnormally rational.

After a long time without hearing a response, Lin Jian sighed and said with a bit of worry: "Jiang Suizhi, let me tell you something you don't want to hear. I've always thought you were sick."

“…”

Lin Jian: "Others may not know for sure, but I've seen you before. Is your horrific obsession with cleanliness also due to some psychological factors?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that the feeling Yueqing gives me is the same as when I first met you." Lin Jian was really a little worried about how these two people would raise a child. Neither of them would be normal.

She said in a deep voice: "She is indeed very good to the children, but I am worried that she is not good to herself."

She was right. Jiang Sui had indeed had this thought before.

Lin Jian compiled some of the information he had gotten from the children and told Jiang Suiji: "Although you have made your relationship clear, don't consider taking the child back for the time being. Otherwise, I am worried about Yue Qing's condition. Otherwise, I am afraid that she will become more withdrawn."

Hearing this, Jiang Sui's brows slightly frowned: "I'm not going to take the child back."

"I'm just making a suggestion. I think you can find an opportunity to talk about it, or use other methods. After all, you both know each other's existence, and it will be easier to get along in the future. At least you won't even have to go without food."

What to talk about?

Mr. Jiang, who hasn't even solved his own illness, is still rushing around like a headless fly. Even if there is indeed something wrong with Yue Qing, he cannot be his life mentor.

After all, his life motto is to fight if you don't agree.

But if you can't accept leaving your child Yueqing, why do you say it so calmly?

His original intention was for the two children and Yueqing to be safe and prosperous. If he failed to do so, Jiang Yan would not be able to hold his coffin in place.

"Please send me a copy of the cocktail party address," Jiang Sui said.

"Okay... um?" Lin Jian was surprised. "You want to come?"

Many brands will invite some big bosses and celebrities to their own cocktail parties. On the one hand, it is equivalent to advertising, and on the other hand, it also increases the value of their own brands, and also helps these businessmen connect with each other.

However, Jiang Sui rarely attends. As a president, socializing is inevitable, but he will only attend events where he absolutely has to be there. For luxury brands like these, usually his subordinates can go.

That's why Lin Jian was surprised.

"It depends."

He felt that his understanding of Yueqing was not enough.

"Okay, I'll send it to you later." Lin Jian said casually, "Let's be honest. I just bought her a dress from the same brand you ordered clothes for the children. Why don't you send it to her directly? You live across the street anyway."

Jiang Suizhi was about to agree, but suddenly asked, "Are you going to order a dress for her?"

"What else can I do? She's sold all her clothes." Lin Jian sighed, "It was me who insisted on ordering this dress for her. If you're around, her pressure will probably be less, but I don't think it will be much less. She'll keep asking me to rent it."

Given Yue Qing's personality of always calculating everything, Jiang Suizhi felt that she wouldn't use the card even if he put it in her hand.

Jiang Suiyi thought for a few seconds and said, "Send it myself."

Lin Jian: “…”

Look, she said this person is sick.

It's unnecessary to take off your pants to fart.

After the two of them ended the call, Jiang opened the dialog box and deleted the messages that had not been sent one by one, and replaced them with another line of text.

AAAAA wholesale Jiang Ge: "."

The other party quickly replied: "Is there anything wrong, Brother Jiang?"

It’s confirmed that this horse hasn’t fallen yet.

Jiang Suizhi quickly retracted his idea of ​​changing his WeChat name and profile picture, exited, and sent a warning to Lin Jian and Lin Shengxi: "Don't tell her that this account is mine."

Lin Jian: “?”

Lin Shengxi: "Brother, I've heard everything from my sister. I don't know why, but I think if you continue like this, something bad will happen. It's written in the novel."

Jiang Sui endured for a long time before deleting this person with brain stem loss. He chose to temporarily block him and found Yueqing again.

AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "It's okay. We will start purchasing goods after the Chinese New Year. We will routinely ask customers about their needs to avoid large amounts of goods being stockpiled."

Yueqing: "You are really professional. I am sure you will make a fortune in the New Year."

Jiang Sui couldn't help laughing after receiving the reply.

AAAAA Wholesale Brother Jiang: "So what does Miss Yueqing need? 20% off for old customers."
