Chapter 118 Just a Stranger
After more than ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Capital Airport.
It was not until he stepped on solid ground that Jiang Xu felt that he had really returned.
Looking at the familiar airport environment, I couldn't help but feel that things had changed and people had changed.
“Mom, Mom…”
In Qin Zifei's arms, Nini reached out to Jiang Xu.
Qin Zifei helplessly corrected: "It's godmother. Calling her like that can easily cause misunderstanding."
Jiang Xu took Nini over with a smile, "The child is still young and has just learned to speak. How can she achieve everything right away?"
Nini hugged Jiang Xu's neck and rubbed her affectionately.
When she was abroad, she had no family or friends. Qin Zifei was afraid that she would be lonely, so he took her to his cousin's house for meals whenever he had time.
Over time, their daughter became familiar with Jiang Xu and liked her very much.
It was natural for Jiang Xu to become her godmother.
The two went to get their luggage and left.
About half an hour later, another plane from abroad landed at the airport.
He Youyun and a four-year-old boy walked out of the checkpoint.
The little boy was fair and cute, and people passing by couldn't help teasing him, but he was too lazy to even smile.
"Fourth brother!"
He Youyun saw something and waved happily towards the distance.
Outside the crowd, a man in a black handmade suit, his handsome features calm and reserved, compared to four years ago, the aura of a superior around him is even stronger.
He stood in the crowd, his tall figure standing out from the crowd, and could be seen almost at a glance.
He Youyun brought the boy to He Yanting and said with a smile, "I have brought your son back safely."
"Um."
He Yanting lowered his eyes to look at the boy and touched his head: "How was your fun?"
The boy said calmly, "It's okay."
He Youyun curled her lips and pinched his chubby cheeks: "Tuanbao, you are only four years old, why do you act like a little adult every day?"
Tuanbao slapped her hand away and said indifferently: "Aunt, you are obviously in your twenties, why are you still as childish as a child?"
He Youyun was choked.
After they got in the car, He Yanting asked Gao Cheng, "Has his school been arranged?"
Gao Cheng, the co-pilot, immediately replied, "It's arranged. There's a private kindergarten that's willing to take you, but it's a bit far from home."
Tuanbao frowned in dissatisfaction: "It's too far. I don't want to go."
He Yanting sneered: "It's all your own fault. You've been expelled from three kindergartens in a row. It's lucky that a kindergarten wants you."
Tuanbao said coldly: "I don't want to go to kindergarten."
He Yanting took a deep breath: "I don't want to get angry either, He Linxi, don't push me."
The father and son fell into silence, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
He Youyun quickly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere and asked Gao Cheng, "When does school start?"
"Next Monday."
He Youyun said to Tuanbao, "It's your first day of school. Can I take you there?"
Tuan Bao glanced at He Yanting's stern face, snorted, and looked out the window: "No need."
He Youyun sighed.
The fourth brother is naturally aloof and difficult to approach, and his own son is even more difficult to deal with at such a young age. Not to mention them, even the fourth brother himself can't beat him.
I really don’t know how this father and son get along at home on a daily basis.
—
Jiang Xu's return trip to China was very tight.
Hansen was kind enough to give her a week off so she could be with her family.
Jiang Xu first went to see Xia Yulin and his uncle's family.
In order not to cause trouble to Xia Yulin in recent years, she only communicated with her online and did not tell her mother her exact location.
Four years later, mother and daughter reunited, and Xia Yulin hugged Jiang Xu with red eyes.
"My dear, seeing you become so good, mom is relieved."
Jiang Xu's nose was sour, and she shook her head and said, "It's my fault. As your daughter, I can't stay by your side to take care of you."
Xia Yulin burst into laughter and wiped Jiang Xu's tears: "Mom didn't give birth to you just to take care of me. You have your own life. Now that I see you are on the right track in life, Mom can't contain her happiness."
The mother and daughter stayed together for several days. Jiang Xu shared her experiences over the past few years with her mother and they had endless things to say.
Xia Yulin suddenly thought of something, "Oh right, you don't have to tell others about your return, but you still have to tell Chi Xiaoli. She misses you so much that she comes to hug me and cry every once in a while."
Thinking of Chi Xiaoli, Jiang Xu still felt a little guilty.
I left in a hurry and didn't say goodbye to her properly. I was afraid of causing her trouble and haven't contacted her at all in the past few years.
She nodded: "Well, I'll go tomorrow."
The next day, before leaving the house, Xia Yulin warned, "Be careful on the road. Today is the first day of school, and there are traffic jams everywhere."
"I know, Mom."
After saying goodbye to his mother, Jiang Xu planned to give Chi Xiaoli a surprise.
She came to Chi Xiaoli and Gu Xiao's house, rang the doorbell, and then deliberately ran to a place where the peephole could not see her.
"Who is it?"
Chi Xiaoli opened the door and found no one outside. She said angrily, "Who is so lacking in public morality?"
"I."
Jiang Xu came out.
Chi Xiaoli's eyes suddenly widened, and then she rubbed them vigorously: "Xu Bao?"
Jiang Xu walked up to her and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, long time no see."
Chi Xiaoli sniffed and was about to cry, then her face changed and she pushed her.
"You still remember to come back? Where have you been? You didn't even send me a text message!"
Jiang Xu said, "I'm just afraid of causing you unnecessary trouble."
Chi Xiaoli also knew that Jiang Xu had good intentions. After all, when He Yanting was looking for her everywhere back then, it was really crazy.
"Come in quickly."
She pulled Jiang Xu into the house.
Jiang Xu looked around and asked, "Where's the child?"
Speaking of children, Chi Xiaoli smiled sweetly: "An An is going to kindergarten for the first day today. By the way, let's go pick her up from school tonight. Are you free?"
Jiang Xu nodded: "Okay."
Chi Xiaoli boasted, "You don't know, that little girl is a chatterbox. Her grandparents all said they'd never seen such a talkative girl. She charmed the four elderly people in the family so much that they wanted to pluck the stars from the sky for her."
"Did your father fall too?"
Jiang Xu was surprised. She couldn't imagine that serious and silent policeman doting on his granddaughter.
Chi Xiaoli pursed her lips and smiled: "He is the one who spoils An An the most."
After talking for a while, she continued, "You're just talking about me. What about you? Do you know how your son is doing?"
When talking about the child, the smile on Jiang Xu's face faded.
"No."
Her voice became very soft. "I don't know anything about him. Maybe he hates me in his heart."
"No, Xubao, there's no child in the world who doesn't love his or her mother, really."
Chi Xiaoli held Jiang Xu's hand and comforted her.
The two hadn't seen each other for four years and talked a lot together.
Chi Xiaoli told Jiang Xu that Gu Xiao used to be a dissolute person, but since his daughter was born, he took over the family company and became a complete daughter slave.
Jiang Xu showed her his newly obtained doctoral degree.
Chi Xiaoli blinked, wanting to speak but stopping herself, unable to resist gossiping: "Have you really not had any contact with Mr. He? What if you run into him in the future?"
Jiang Xu lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I met... probably just a stranger."
In the afternoon, Gu Xiao had something urgent to do and couldn't pick up Gu Anan, so Jiang Xu and Chi Xiaoli went to pick her up.
Unfortunately, we encountered a huge traffic jam on the way and arrived half an hour late.
Chi Xiaoli pulled Jiang Xu and ran as fast as she could: "It's over, it's over, I'm going to be nagged to death by that little ancestor!"
The kindergarten was very quiet. Most of the children had been picked up by their parents. Only a few children were sitting on the steps, eagerly waiting for their parents.
A delicate little girl wearing a black polka-dot dress, carrying a small pink schoolbag, was shaking her legs and staring at something with her head tilted.
Chi Xiaoli walked over and touched her head: "Sorry, baby, Mommy is stuck in traffic. Please don't complain to Grandpa and Daddy."
An An ignored her and continued looking in that direction.
Jiang Xu followed her gaze and saw a little boy in a white shirt sitting in the corner of the stairs.
Just one look and I was stunned by the little boy's handsome features.
Although he is still very young, the handsomeness and beauty that radiates from the inside out cannot be concealed by his age.
only……
The child's temperament and demeanor didn't seem like a child at all; he was simply too cold.
