Su Hanze had known Jiang Tian's address for a long time, but had never been there.
He's not the kind of person who lacks discretion; he can't possibly do everything to the end or go down a dead end.
In any case, people should always know how to maintain boundaries. After that unpleasant parting, the disappointment in Jiang Tian's eyes was like a needle pricking his heart, making him finally realize that rather than pestering her, dignified restraint might be better at preserving the last bit of tenderness in her eyes.
But this time he had no choice but to go.
Previously, he had simply sent two bodyguards to take turns guarding outside Jiang Tian's residential area, instructing them "not to let her find out and not to interfere with her life." But today he discovered that the two bodyguards had not helped at all, and had even neglected their duties while taking his money, failing to protect Jiang Tian at all.
Jiang Tian, on the contrary, has been protecting herself.
Actually, Su Hanze had a little-known quirk: he had obtained information about Jiang Tian through those two bodyguards.
While neglecting their duties, the two bodyguards also hired some secret paparazzi to secretly photograph Jiang Tian, profiting from the difference in prices.
In fact, their secret filming was very useful; Su Hanze saw another side of Jiang Tian that no one else knew about.
The weekly reports Su Hanze received were always filled with small, heartwarming details: Jiang Tian now goes out every day, unlike when she was at the Su family home, when she wouldn't leave the house for several days at a time—she goes grocery shopping every day, goes to the park to watch others practice Tai Chi, and even goes to the coffee shop downstairs to meet her clients.
Jiang Tian's life didn't lose its edge and fun just because he wasn't there; she lived a healthy and happy life.
Recently, Su Hanze is still well aware that Jiang Tian has enrolled An An in an arts interest class again.
An'an has graduated from kindergarten and will be starting first grade next. This time, it seems that Jiang Tian has no intention of sending her to a private elementary school. She has been looking for some public elementary schools.
Seeing Jiang Tian do this, Su Hanze was extremely anxious.
He simply couldn't bear the fact that his daughter's spending habits had been downgraded due to her husband's divorce, and even her academic resources had been reduced.
But at that time, he held back.
He simply took the opportunity of visiting a friend's house to patiently remind his daughter that she still needed to go to a private elementary school, and that he could pay for her tuition.
Unfortunately, he was inherently ineffective with his daughter; An'an simply didn't listen to him and valued her mother's words more.
It's impossible not to feel sad.
More importantly, Su Hanze realized that a person's life can never consist solely of life; at least he wasn't that passionate about his career, though others might not be.
This time, he still hoped to give it his all, but just as he was about to work hard, his friend's words hit him like a heavy hammer.
Su Hanze never thought he was inferior to Shen Dingkun.
How could Jiang Tian and Shen Dingkun possibly be together?
The two of them are completely unrelated.
More importantly, Shen Dingkun loves his wife very much, so how could he possibly steal her from someone else?
Su Hanze didn't believe a single word, but the sense of panic in his heart couldn't be eliminated.
“When I was working part-time at a convenience store, I would bring homemade cookies to the employees on the night shift, as suggested by my nanny. The homemade cookies were very expensive, more expensive than the money I earned from my part-time job. I wondered how I could have been found out. Later, when I left the job, my colleagues told me that it was because the cookies were too expensive that they began to suspect my identity.”
In Jiang Tian's rented room, Shen Dingkun was recounting his college days.
He didn't leave immediately, after all, his daughter was living there alone and she was still a little scared.
Shen Dingkun certainly couldn't ignore his daughter's fear and hurt her feelings.
He stayed there for a while, intending to leave after his daughter fell asleep.
An'an knew both him and Qianqian. After learning that Qianqian was heartbroken by her mother's words, An'an was very loyal and offered to let Qianqian stay at her house. She was willing to help Qianqian through this difficult time, as long as her mother was willing.
Qianqian was overjoyed and held onto An'an's hand tightly.
After all, An An is the goddess in the hearts of many children.
By the time we picked the children up and let the girls wash up, it was already quite late.
But Qianqian still maintains the habit of reading for half an hour before bed—this is what her mother told her: she must study hard and get into the best university so that she can find a rich husband.
Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change.
But An'an felt that it didn't matter if she didn't read a book for a day.
"You can't be too tense. You're not a spring. If you'd like to come with me, we'll have Mom tell us a story today."
Qianqian was indeed very happy. She stared at Jiang Tian with expectant eyes and asked her in a low voice what story she could tell her.
Jiang Tian smiled and suggested several stories, but the two sisters didn't seem to like them much.
An'an's eyes darted around, then she looked at Shen Dingkun, who was standing silently to the side: "Uncle Shen, you're Qianqian's father, can't you tell her a story?"
Being suddenly called out by name, Shen Dingkun felt a little flustered.
He never told the children fairy tales because Zhao Mingyao did all of that. He was busy with work and didn't have time to tell the children stories. By the time he got back, the children were already asleep.
However, Shen Dingkun secretly made up his mind that his life should not be completely taken over by work, and the Business Weekly on his bedside table should be replaced with Grimm's Fairy Tales and Andersen's Fairy Tales.
This time, when asked to tell them a story, Shen Dingkun racked his brains and told a dry story, which, as expected, left the two sisters very dissatisfied.
Qianqian suddenly became curious about her father. She asked Shen Dingkun earnestly, "Dad, can you tell me about your past? Mom has never told me about your love story. How did you two fall in love? I'm really curious. Mom insists that she'll tell me later, that she'll tell me all her secrets on how to make a man fall for me. But weren't you two together because you loved each other?"
Shen Dingkun's smile cooled down a bit.
He had nothing more to say to Zhao Mingyao now.
What's that saying? Relationships are really about mutual benefit.
At least this woman gave him the son and daughter he loved. As for their relationship, they'll have to wait until Zhao Mingyao comes back before they can discuss it.
"It is indeed a secret. Once you've fully adjusted your mindset, Dad will definitely tell you the love story between your mother and me."
"Okay, Dad, how about you tell us about your past? Have you always been this rich? Or has our family always been this rich?"
The question Qianqian asked was somewhat childlike, but Shen Dingkun had no choice but to answer it.
He told his daughter that he had always been rich since he was a child, and that his parents' family was also very wealthy; they had been rich for generations.
