Qiqi cried even harder.
He sobbed, "Waaaaah, Qiqi doesn't want that older sister to be her stepmother!"
It's over.
Jiang Tong silently mourned for Zhou Yuansheng for a minute; she couldn't even soothe his son.
The little brat cried uncontrollably.
Hanhan was stunned; she probably had never seen a child who could cry more than Zhou Jiaqi.
Jiang Tong finally managed to coax the little brat to bed, but when she turned around, she saw her daughter clinging to the door, looking bewildered and a bit helpless.
She immediately understood, and smiled gently, "Hanhan, come here, this has nothing to do with you. It was... uh, an accident? Hanhan meant well by turning on the TV for Qiqi, right? She just didn't expect to see his dad's news, right?"
Hanhan nodded obediently; she just wanted to coax Zhou Jiaqi.
Jiang Tong called her eldest daughter over for a hug and comforted her gently, "It's okay, it's okay. Hanhan, do you want to stay with Qiqi or go out to look at picture books?"
"Mommy, I want to stay with him. Teacher Bai said that when a good friend is sad, you should comfort him."
Since starting kindergarten, Hanhan has learned more little things, and living in a group has also helped her learn how to get along with others.
Jiang Tong praised her, "Hanhan is great. Hanhan, stay with Qiqi. Mommy will contact Qiqi's daddy and tell him about the situation."
The little brat was still sobbing uncontrollably, sweating profusely. Although he was a pampered child who liked to cry, he had never cried like this before.
Children from single-parent families do indeed lack a sense of security. When he saw his father with a new woman, the little guy really cried.
Jiang Tong calmed the two children down for the time being. As soon as she picked up her phone, she discovered that Zhou Yuansheng had actually called her. The two had exchanged phone numbers before, but neither of them had added each other on WeChat and they didn't contact each other much.
She immediately called back, and the other party answered right away. A deep, pleasant voice said, "Excuse me, I wanted to ask if Jiaqi came to your house again?"
Jiang Tong turned to look at the two children, then gently closed the door behind her so they wouldn't hear. "Yes, Mr. Zhou's situation is like this..."
She briefly recounted how the child ran over crying, how upset Qiqi was about her father breaking his promise, and the awkward incident mentioned earlier.
Jiang Tong scratched her cheek, walked to the balcony, and pinched the leaves in the flowerpot. "...That's how it is. Hanhan didn't do it on purpose."
"No, of course this has nothing to do with Hanhan." Zhou Yuansheng seemed a little annoyed. He suppressed his anger and frowned as he asked, "Gossip?"
Hearing the man's angry voice, though he tried to suppress it, it still carried a considerable pressure. Jiang Tong's back inexplicably straightened, and she felt a strange tension. "Ah, yes, you didn't know about this? I secretly took a photo of us together..."
"Excuse me, do you remember which channel it was on and what time it aired?"
"Well, it was around 5 o'clock, during the gossip segment after some program on the financial channel."
"Okay, I understand, thank you. I'll need you to keep an eye on Jiaqi for me too..."
"It's alright, you're welcome, it's nothing. He's calmed down a bit now. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Yes, okay, goodbye..." Jiang Tong hung up the phone, her palms sweating with nervousness.
Help! SOS!
Mr. Zhou's tone just now was really intimidating! Thank goodness it wasn't directed at her!
Jiang Tong was still shaken.
She couldn't help but pat her chest. When the other person got serious, she always felt inexplicably timid, with a sense of crisis like when she saw her homeroom teacher back in her school days.
fear!
Jiang Tong glanced at the afterglow in the sky; it would be dark soon.
She turned around and headed straight for the kitchen. It was time to start preparing dinner. The two children were frightened and in a bad mood, so she would use delicious food to cheer them up!
While cooking, Jiang Tong had some gossipy thoughts. Someone as outstanding as Mr. Zhou, what kind of person must Zhou Jiaqi's mother be?
They must be exceptionally talented, right?
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get married.
Strangely, Zhou Yuansheng's Weibo posts also include photos of Zhou Jiaqi that are not directly facing him, but his wife has left no trace of him at all. The only information online is that he is divorced, and nothing else.
Jiang Tong clicked her tongue in amazement, feeling that everyone's marriage seemed to have some bumps or secrets. She had crawled out of the grave of marriage, and if nothing unexpected happened, she didn't want to lie down there again.
She cooked while pondering her ideas.
Halfway through, I suddenly realized I could actually gossip?!
Jiang Tong suddenly stopped what she was doing, and thought to herself, "I'm so great!"
They immediately got busy again.
She was somewhat happy.
After getting married, she became increasingly depressed and numb. Her mind seemed to be dead. She lived a chaotic life every day, like a robot, repeating the same routine day after day, year after year.
As a result, just over a month after the divorce, her mind started to wander again.
Jiang Tong was in a pretty good mood.
For dinner, I made sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed shrimp and egg, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, salted bok choy, and a seaweed and tofu soup, all of which the kids love.
She went to check on the two children and found that they were both asleep.
Jiang Tong checked the time and woke them both up for breakfast. Hanhan wasn't grumpy when she woke up, but Zhou Jiaqi was a bit upset and quite unhappy.
Fortunately, she was good at coaxing children. She would hold the child by the bottom and walk around the room, and she could quickly soothe Zhou Jiaqi. Hanhan was even a little jealous.
After putting the little Qiqi down, Jiang Tong picked up her eldest daughter and gave her a series of kisses, which made Hanhan giggle like silver bells.
