The first formal meeting at noon went relatively peacefully. After lunch, Jiang Zhuo and He Yanfeng chatted for a while at the table. It was unknown what they talked about, but his eyes kept drifting towards his two wives in the small hall.
"Dad." He Qianmin in the outer hall shouted at the top of his voice: "Uncle Zhou and the others are here."
"Let them wait for a while." He Yanfeng replied, and turned his head slightly to ask Jiang Zhuo: "Are you really not going to attend the banquet tonight?"
Jiang Zhuo smiled and declined: "We have never been to such an event, and we would not feel comfortable going there. Besides, the child is still young and cannot be left alone."
He Yanfeng raised his hand to check the time, then stood up and said, "Let's stop here today. It might be a little late after the banquet tonight. Xiaochen will stay here with us, and we will send him back tomorrow morning."
"No need." Jiang Zhuo waved his hand: "Just do as we agreed before. It's summer vacation now, let Xiaochen stay with you for a few more days. It's the same if he comes back in a few days. The child is older, so it depends on his opinion. Besides, he has to go to the research institute during the summer vacation, so it's convenient for him to visit."
He Yanfeng glanced at the outer hall, "What about Qian Jian..."
Jiang Zhuo paused and said, "Our child is still young. Qian Jian may need a long time to adapt to his sudden return. We may not be able to take care of his emotions and habits if we are too busy. Let's wait a little longer."
He Yanfeng raised his eyebrows, as if thinking about something.
In the small hall, Yang Yun was talking softly about He Qianjian's habits and preferences. Yang Si was in no mood but did not refuse. He nodded occasionally to indicate that he was listening, and said a few words about Jiang Chen's habits when Yang Yun asked.
After a few words, Yang Yun could see that Yang Si was not very enthusiastic about He Qianjian and was not interested in topics related to him. She was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that biological parents should not have such an attitude after finding their biological children. For example, she really hoped to get more information about Jiang Chen from Yang Si, whether it was what he liked or disliked or everything else, she wanted to know more, hoping to get closer to the child faster.
Yang Si was the complete opposite. She didn't seem to want to have too much contact with He Qianjian. Apart from saying hello when she first came in, she hadn't said a word to He Qianjian since dinner, and she didn't even look at him for a few seconds. She was very cold all the time.
"Sister, are you still a little unfamiliar with Qian Jian? Are you worried that you won't be able to get along with him in the future?" Yang Yun tentatively said, "In fact, Qian Jian has always had a good personality. He was very sensible when he was a child. He has always taken good care of his younger brothers and sisters. His academic performance..."
Yang Simei's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she interrupted her calmly, "I know you are telling me this for the sake of the two children, but I can't accept it for now. Right now, He Qianjian is just a stranger to me, someone else's child. I hope you can give me some time."
Yang Yun was stunned, then she remembered that Yang Si only learned the news yesterday, and she instantly felt a little apologetic - she only found out the day before that the child she had raised for more than ten years was not her biological child, and another strange child was her biological child. The next day she hurriedly met them, and had to accept the public disclosure of the identities of the two children, and then settle the matter. It was indeed a bit unreasonable and too inhumane.
Yang Yun did understand Yang Si, but... she had waited too long.
Yang Si only found out about this yesterday, but as Jiang Chen's biological mother, she has known about this for nearly a year. During this year, she has always hoped that Jiang Chen could call her mother openly. She has seen the three children become very small in her dreams countless times, with the older brother playing with his younger siblings. She has been so impatient for all this to come true that she has ignored the feelings of another mother.
"I'm sorry." Yang Yun apologized, "I didn't consider your feelings when I spoke just now. I'm really sorry."
Yang Si pursed her lips lightly, remained silent for a moment, and shook her head, saying, "I should be the one to apologize. Thank you for your hard work over the past year."
Yang Yun was stunned. She didn't expect Yang Si to say that. A hint of warmth suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Yang Si thought for a moment and said slowly, "Chenchen is a good kid. He has always cared more about others than others since he was little. He is even willing to ignore his own feelings for the sake of his family and friends. You may not know that a lot of things have happened in our family in the past two years, from his father's car accident to my pregnancy. He has been supporting the family all this time. In order to have money to treat his father's illness, he has to study and work. Sometimes I see the lights on in his room all night long, and in the morning he will pretend to have just woken up so that we don't worry."
"He is so sensible, so sensible that his father and I feel proud and guilty. We can't help him, but we can't hold him back. He has been hiding this matter for more than a year because of my health condition. Not only does he have to study and work, but he also has to take care of two families. He is worried about my reaction after I know about this. When I think about how hard he has been this year, I... Mrs. He, to be honest, in my opinion, whether he is my biological son or not, he is my only son. I am really afraid that you will take him away, but I also know that no one can take this child away because he is loyal and righteous, and I know him better than anyone else."
"Because of these, I can't bear to embarrass him, and I can't bear to see him regret it in the future." Yang Si raised his eyes to look at Jiang Chen who was looking at something across the dining room, with soft ripples in his eyes: "Like his father said, you recognizing him won't change anything, it just means there are two more people who love and take care of him. If you think about it carefully, this is not bad. My son deserves the best in the world. His father and I couldn't give it to him before. I should be happy that you can give it to him."
Yang Yun was stunned for a long time. When He Yanfeng came over to call her, she hugged Yang Si and said softly with red eyes: "Thank you."
Yang Si patted her on the back, let go of her, smiled at He Yanfeng, then turned and left.
He Yanfeng looked at Yang Si who had already walked to Jiang Chen's side, and after retracting his gaze, he was a little curious: "What were you talking about just now? Why do I feel that you two have suddenly become a lot closer?"
Yang Yun smiled and took his arm: "Nothing, let's go, Manager Zhou is here, we still need to change clothes."
…
He Yanfeng sent someone to see Jiang Zhuo and his wife off, and he took his wife and children to the suite upstairs.
The stylist team was already waiting in the room. The man in the lead was named Zhou. He nodded when he saw them come in. After knowing that Jiang Chen would be the protagonist for the next few days, he picked out a white suit without saying a word and asked him to change into it.
Although Jiang Chen didn't like attending banquets, he had attended many occasions where he had to. However, it was his first time to do his styling before a banquet. He quickly changed his clothes and came out. He Qianmin happened to come out of another room and was slightly stunned when she saw his clothes clearly.
His suit was all white, and his bow tie and vest were very light milk-coffee color, while He Qianmin was the opposite, wearing a light milk-coffee suit, and his bow tie and vest were dark brown, similar to leather.
The two men stood together, their suits were of the same cut and style, but the different colors alone revealed completely different temperaments. One was clean and open, while the other was retro and fashionable, but at first glance you could tell they were brothers.
Yang Yun, who was getting her hair done, saw them in the mirror and said with a smile, "They look great." He Yanfeng also raised his eyebrows and gave the stylist a thumbs up.
Not long after, He Qianyu, who had changed her clothes, came out. She was wearing a white little dress, and her slender waist was covered with distinct layers of mesh, which transitioned from a very light milk-coffee color to dark brown, giving her the same color as her two brothers' suits.
The three siblings stood together, their outstanding looks and different temperaments blended harmoniously, which was extremely eye-catching. Not to mention the other assistants who were getting clothes and doing their hair, even the stylist who had been silent all the time took a few more glances, with doubts on his face, but his professional ethics prevented him from asking any more questions.
As soon as He Qianjian came out, he saw the three siblings who were being asked by Yang Yun to stand together for a photo. He paused, looked down at his neat dark blue suit, and the veins on his hands bulged as he smoothed out the wrinkles on the hem of his suit, and the gloom in his eyes deepened a little bit.
【Remember what I told you.】
The system's body suddenly sounded in his mind. He Qianjian came back to his senses and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Chen. He retracted his gaze before he noticed, and there was a hint of fear in the haze hidden deep in his eyes.
He Qianjian calmly responded to the system: [Are you sure it was him? ]
[From the first attack to now, it has been eight months. The only two times during this period when all information was blocked were when you were in the same space with him. The first time was your math competition, and the second time was the college entrance examination. In the interval between these two attacks, he continuously attacked me 163 times. It took me four months from establishing the channel to reverse capture to analyzing and tracking him now. Do you think that the analysis that I spent four months on could be wrong? ]
He Qianjian sneered in his heart: [You said at the beginning that there is no technology on this planet that can match yours, and it is even impossible for anyone to track you. Now you tell me that you have been attacked by an ordinary 18-year-old high school student for more than half a year, and you don’t even have the ability to fight back. Do you think I can doubt it? ]
[My main program is not intended for attack. For external attacks, my only effective means are defense and anti-tracking. And I told you that Jiang Chen is definitely not an ordinary high school student. He is definitely one of the most brilliant people on your entire planet, and he has an extremely powerful programming...]
[Shut up!] He Qianjian interrupted the system: [I don't want to hear you say how powerful he is. His power only shows your incompetence. And I don't want to hear you brag about how powerful you are. I just want to know when you can completely defeat Jiang Chen.]
[It depends on how much information you can get from him.] The system said: [I found out that he had previously cooperated with the government to develop an artificial intelligence image processing system, and that system has now been put into experimentation. If I am not mistaken, the system he used to attack me is from the same source as that image processing system. If you can get the system data he developed, or directly get the system he developed, I can not only help you realize your wish and make him completely defeated and let you torture him, but I may even be able to upgrade it and provide you with more functions.]
He Qianjian's eyebrows moved: [Really? ]
【I swear by the system rules.】
He Qianjian's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, his face became even darker: [Okay, I'll help you get what you want, remember what you promised me.]
"Qianjian, why are you standing there?" Yang Yun called out to He Qianjian and said with a smile in a good mood, "Come and sit for a while."
He Qianjian nodded, put on a gentle smile, and walked towards Jiang Chen who seemed to know nothing.
