Jiang Tingzhou was amused by his daughter's words, but still went along with her, saying, "Yeah, lying will make you bald."
Xiao Xiao's little face immediately lit up with a happy smile, and she said to Xu Wan, "Mommy, I want to wear a pretty dress on Children's Day! So Daddy can see me right away!"
"Everyone usually wears the same clothes for these kinds of performances, but I can paint your face a little red so your dad can see it."
"good!"
Xiao Xiao wanted to raise both hands in agreement, but as soon as she moved, she remembered that her arm was injured, so she quickly put it down.
Seeing his daughter so happy, Jiang Tingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoxiao, Daddy will have surgery on his leg in a few days. If the surgery is successful, it may take a recovery period before I can walk normally. If Daddy is still in a wheelchair when I come to watch your show, will you feel..."
"No, no!" Xiao Xiao didn't even wait for Jiang Tingzhou to finish speaking before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Daddy is Daddy, it doesn't matter what he looks like!"
"But other people's fathers can walk normally..."
"What does it matter to me if someone else's dad is like that?" Xiaoxiao reassured Jiang Tingzhou instead, "As long as you're my dad, no matter what you're like, I'll love you just the same as I love Mom!"
The child's voice was young but very firm.
After the matter was settled, the family of three came out of the lounge.
Xu Pingrong had been waiting outside for a while, and he was a little worried when he first heard Xiaoxiao crying.
Seeing Xiaoxiao sitting on Jiang Tingzhou's lap, he knew that the matter must have been resolved, and he finally felt relieved.
Three people came out of the outpatient clinic.
As soon as they arrived at the parking lot entrance, Jiang Tingzhou suddenly said, "Mom, carry Xiaoxiao and get in the car first."
Just as Xu Wan was wondering what had happened to the man, she saw a familiar figure walking towards them from the parking lot.
It's Jiang De'an.
Xu Wan couldn't help but think of what happened last night.
An Yunya was sent here for hospitalization, so it's reasonable for Jiang De'an to be here, but such a coincidental encounter does make people suspicious.
Xu Pingrong didn't recognize Jiang De'an. She assumed the couple needed to complete some paperwork, so she picked up Xiaoxiao and left.
Jiang De'an was carrying a bag.
He stood there until Xu Pingrong left before saying to Jiang Tingzhou, "Mr. Ryan, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Jiang Tingzhou lowered his voice and hummed in response.
Jiang De'an then looked at Xu Wan and spoke in his usual kind tone, "Xiao Xiao has accepted Mr. Ryan, so it seems that you two are about to have a good time. This is a good thing, but no matter what, Xiao Xiao's surname is Jiang, and her father is gone. I am her grandfather in terms of seniority. For her future, I should do what I should do."
Xu Wan's lips twitched.
Even if Jiang Tingzhou is really gone, there is still Jiang Detian. How could it be Jiang De'an's turn?
Xu Wan didn't say it aloud, only saying, "President Jiang, thank you for your concern, but this is between Ryan and me, we..."
"You and Ryan haven't known each other for very long, have you?"
Jiang De'an interrupted Xu Wan.
Xu Wan didn't want to answer, "This is between him and me."
“Xu Wan, don’t be so wary of me. Xiao Xiao is also family to me.” After reminding him, Jiang De’an looked at Jiang Tingzhou and said, “Mr. Ryan has a disability. I had someone investigate. For the past few years, he has had a female secretary who takes care of his daily life. I think her name is… Melissa, right?”
The man said very little about Jiang Tingzhou's life abroad.
Xu Wan herself didn't ask any further questions.
She knew that Jiang Tingzhou really needed someone to take care of him, but she never imagined it might be a female secretary...
However, she remained steadfast and instinctively wanted to speak up for Jiang Tingzhou.
Before she could speak, Jiang Tingzhou said first, "Yes, but she is just my secretary, not my personal secretary."
“Mr. Ryan, you don’t need to explain these things to me. Whether I believe it or not is not important. What’s important is that Xu Wan believes it.” Jiang De’an paused and continued, “Melissa left your company around the beginning of this year. When I sent someone to see her, I found out she was pregnant, and she has remained silent about the father of the child…”
