It seems that currently no one in China knows that Jiang Tingzhou is still alive.
He has completely changed his appearance and adopted a different identity while living abroad. Now he is returning to China with Ying Gan, who knows what other plans he may have.
She didn't want to ask him what he was going to do, nor did she want to cause trouble.
Xiao Xiao's eyes were blank and confused. "But... Grandma and Uncle miss Daddy too."
“Dad wants to give Grandma and Uncle a surprise. It’s just that Xiaoxiao is Dad’s closest person. He misses you so much, so he called you in advance.” Xu Wan raised her right little finger. “Let’s pinky swear. Nobody can tell you about this.”
Xiao Xiao thought for a while before nodding and extending her little finger to make a pinky promise with Xu Wan.
As soon as the car stopped, Xu Pingrong ran over and opened the door. He first took out Xiaoxiao's schoolbag and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you're back? Are you tired from school? Did you eat enough for dinner? Grandma made your favorite braised chicken legs. Would you like some more?"
Upon hearing about delicious food, Xiaoxiao immediately forgot everything else and nodded happily, "I want to eat! Grandma's cooking is the best!"
She's short, so she has to face the car seat and turn around to get out of the car.
Xu Pingrong used to always like to hug her, but she only stopped after Xu Wan repeatedly reminded her to exercise Xiaoxiao.
Xiao Xiao got out of the car by herself and took Xu Pingrong's hand. "Grandma, let's go home for dinner?"
Xu Wan glanced back at Lü Wei, whose face was full of questions, and said to Xu Pingrong, "Mom, I need to say a few words to Lü Wei. You take Xiaoxiao back first, and I'll go up in a bit."
Xu Pingrong agreed.
Xu Wan closed the car door again.
Lu Wei asked impatiently, "Madam, who was the person on the other end of the phone just now...?"
"It's the person you're thinking of."
Xu Wan indirectly answered his question.
Hearing Xu Wan admit it herself, Lü Wei couldn't help but look somewhat surprised.
He then asked, "So, Madam, you always knew that General Chiang was not dead?"
Jiang Tingzhou lost contact with Beicheng more than four years ago after Christmas. Everyone thought Jiang Tingzhou was dead, and even the Jiang family planned to close their household registration.
Only Xu Wan firmly believed that Jiang Tingzhou was still alive, and just last year she rejected the Jiang family's proposal to cancel their household registration.
Now that Jiang Tingzhou is back, and only Xu Wan knows about it, it's hard not to think that Xu Wan already knew all along.
“Before the day before yesterday, all the information I received was the same as yours. As for my belief that my husband is not dead, it’s just that I’m unwilling to accept the facts and can’t let go of him.” Xu Wan looked up at Lü Wei. “I also met him by chance. He has changed his appearance and identity, and he has not admitted to me that he is Jiang Tingzhou.”
"What is President Jiang's current status?"
“Actually, he hasn’t told me definitively that he is Jiang Tingzhou yet, but how could I not recognize my own husband?” Xu Wan smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry, I may not be able to tell you his identity for the time being, but he will be coming to Beicheng soon. When you see him, you may recognize him.”
Lu Wei was skeptical. "Then why didn't he come back as Jiang Tingzhou? Is there some reason for it?"
"I don't know." Xu Wan shook her head. "He didn't tell me anything, but anyway, it's good that he's back."
After that night, Xu Wan didn't think about anything.
All I want is for him to come back.
They didn't necessarily need a happy ending.
It's enough that Jiang Tingzhou came back alive.
Xu Wan got out of the car and took the elevator upstairs alone.
She had just reached her front door when her phone rang.
A message came from that familiar number.
The first message only included a time.
A subsequent message asked: "I'll be picking Ms. Xu up at this time. Where would be a convenient place to meet you?"
Xu Wan asked, "Do I need to dress up?"
The man replied: [Yes, I need it.]
Tomorrow is a workday, and she now has a private office, so she can't wear a formal dress to work at the law firm. Fortunately, the time the man wrote down is after the law firm's closing time, so she can change her clothes after get off work before going downstairs.
After finalizing the plan, Xu Wan replied: 【Tian Yuan Law Firm.】
