Chapter 109 Proximity to the Water
During her lunch break, Yao Fanghua was on the fifth floor comforting her daughter.
Jiang Wei carried her son and rushed to the dormitory building.
Yao Fanghua was shocked when Jiang Wei handed her a child.
"No, your son, you're going to raise him for me? No, you want me to raise your son?" What kind of people has she been dealing with? They're always dreaming of something good.
Yao Fanghua then shoved the child into Jiang Wei's hands.
Jiang Wei refused to take the child's place at all. "This child has a hard life. His mother is weak and can't raise him. I'm too busy with work to take care of him. I'm at ease leaving him with you. As for the child's expenses and the nanny's fee, don't worry, I'll definitely cover them."
Yao Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the child's mother had passed away. "If you're weak, just take good care of yourself. You're not short of money, why don't you hire a nanny to take care of the child and your wife?"
Why did you get married so quietly, and then suddenly this eldest son appears? Putting everything else aside, can you bear to see them separated, mother and son?
Jiang wiped her face, looking embarrassed. "I didn't want to say it, but since you asked..."
Yao Fanghua had a bad feeling after being looked at by Jiang Wei, and sure enough, Jiang Wei complained with a bitter expression.
“My life is miserable, and my son’s life is miserable too.”
I was worried about passing on my illness to the child, and besides, his mother doesn't like him. Look at the bite marks on my son's body. His mother doesn't like me either; she probably thinks I'm short and ugly. I wanted to take her in, but she refused no matter what. If this child didn't look like me, I would doubt if he was even mine. My son and I are so unlucky; nobody likes us.
He's such a young child, how could I bear to see him suffer at home?
"What do you mean by separating mother and child? Can you really bear to separate us, father and son? At least I can see the child every day if I leave him with you. It's better than him being mistreated back home!"
Seeing that Yao Fanghua was somewhat swayed, Jiang softened his tone and pressed on.
"I thought you had everything ready-made, so whether you raise one or two, it's the same, so I brought them along to keep your little girl company."
What, you dislike my son too? You think he's ugly? Do you also secretly dislike my looks?
Yao Fanghua: ...What the heck! What did she say?! Yao Fanghua felt that she might have just given birth and her mind was a bit blank, and she couldn't quite keep up with Jiang Wei's train of thought.
"My heart is breaking. If you don't take care of this child, I'll just give him away, or I'll take him home and farm. How can I possibly concentrate on any research? Anyway, you don't seem to care about us either!"
Yao Fanghua: "...One thing at a time, don't threaten me. I need to at least discuss this with Wu Peng."
"I'm just leaving my child with you. I provide a nanny, food, and drink, and you don't have to do much. How can you be so heartless?! How can you not tolerate a child?! You even called me your friend, talked about cooperation, about making money together!!" Jiang Wei was furious. "He's still my son, and you're just going to leave him to die?! I'll just leave him in my hometown and let him fend for himself! It's his mother's fault for not caring about him, and I can't take care of him anyway. I'll just pretend I never had him!"
"Stop, stop, put it down," Yao Fanghua said, covering her head. "Put it here for now. When you're not so busy..."
Before Yao Fanghua could finish speaking, Jiang Wei immediately beamed, "I knew you were a good person. How could you bear to see such a young child suffer?"
Just then, the child in her arms looked at Yao Fanghua and gripped her clothes tightly.
Yao Fanghua said weakly, "You don't need to hire a nanny. Wu Peng has already found two nannies, so let's keep them both for now."
Jiang was satisfied. Having finally managed to get up here, he strolled around the fifth floor, pleased with the children's room, toy room, and playroom—bringing his son here was the right decision. But when he saw the bedroom, he couldn't help but purse his lips coldly.
Before leaving, she couldn't resist a sarcastic remark, "The dorm building next door is almost dry, I'll be moving there soon. You saw the blueprints, didn't you? It has an elevator, seven stories high, we can split it in half, the renovations won't be any worse. If you ever have a fight with Wu Peng, just move over there with the kids. Remember, even after you're married and have kids, you have to stand up for yourself. Don't let that Wu guy take advantage of you and do whatever he wants. Don't think that just because you have kids you can let him treat you like you're nothing. I'll always be your support."
Yao Fanghua felt numb, somewhat numb.
Jiang successfully kept the child, applied eye drops, and finally left satisfied.
...
Everyone was stunned by Jiang Wei's outrageous actions.
Yang Liu, in particular, was dumbfounded!
Yang Liu closed his mouth, went back to his dormitory, and made a special request to see the child. The child really did look like Jiang Wei's son.
Looking back, it's no wonder that around this time last year, this guy suddenly asked for leave and even went back to his hometown a few times. It turns out he really went to settle down and take care of some important life events.
Yang Liu looked at the little boy in the crib on the left, then at the little girl in the crib on the right, as if he had suddenly realized something.
No, as expected of a scholar, he's just too cunning.
Is it too late for him to have another child now?
Even if he did give birth, he couldn't be as shameless as Jiang Wei and just dump the child on Sister Hua Hua, could he? His wife wouldn't stand for that. How could Jiang Wei's wife bear to do that? Speaking of which, why doesn't Jiang Wei bring his wife over? The three of them are living separately like this? That makes sense, otherwise how can he have a reason or excuse to leave the child here?
Yang Liu's head was still throbbing, especially after he figured out Jiang Wei's scheme. His head was buzzing. This guy was a ruthless and calculating man. He wouldn't dare to mess with him again.
Yang Liu wants to get married. Once he has a child, he can't raise them together like this. It's better if they grow up together. If he has a daughter, they'll have a sisterly bond from a young age. If he has a son, what if, what if his little girl falls in love with his son? Putting aside everything else, just in terms of looks, his son would be miles ahead of Jiang Wei's son.
But after the initial excitement faded, he felt he didn't like either Huang Yan'er or Lin Dongsheng, or rather, neither of them was good enough for him. He preferred a recently hired HR manager, two years older than him, with a long ponytail, a dimple when she smiled, educated, and able to speak a few words of English. Her presence alone exuded a different aura; he was captivated.
That kid Zhong Er calls Yao Fangyuan all the time, sending her letter after letter, pestering her relentlessly. Seeing how persistent he is, it seems unlikely he'll win her over. He might as well just choose someone he likes and get married and have kids quickly. His mother has been urging him to marry her a hundred and eighty times already.
After seeing other people's sons and daughters, Yang Liu finally made up his mind to get married and have children.
When Wu Peng returned, he was furious. Before Yao Fanghua could say anything, he picked up the child and handed him back to Jiang Wei. However, Jiang Wei refused to take the child. Every time Wu Peng brought the child to him, he would just leave it at the stairwell and return it to Jiang Wei. He would leave the child at the stairwell and walk away, completely ignoring whether the child was crying or not.
In the dead of night, the baby's cries were deafening.
Finally, Yao Fanghua took the two children to the nursery and locked Wu Peng outside, only then did things calm down.
Wu Peng kicked the door in anger. That scheming bastard, he thought, wanted Wu Peng to help raise his son, but was he just trying to take advantage of his proximity to steal his daughter?! He couldn't take Hua Hua away himself, so he sent his son to steal his daughter?! Oh my, how despicable! It's been so long since I've met someone more despicable than him.
Seeing that there was no movement for a while, the group who had been peeking through the crack in the door to watch the commotion quietly closed the door and went back to bed. It seemed that President Jiang had won this battle.
