Chapter 161 Aunt Jiang, are you my mother?
Tuanbao's pupils trembled violently.
Ginger fluff?
Isn’t that Aunt Jiang’s name?
The one in front of me is...
Jiang Xueluo held Tuanbao's little hand: "Although your mother doesn't want you, I look a lot like her. You can think of me as her."
Tuanbao frowned, immediately pulled his hand back and took a step back.
"You...you are not Aunt Jiang."
Huo Qiyu then realized that the woman in front of him was Jiang Xueruo. He quickly grabbed Tuanbao and said, "Let's go. Uncle Huo will take you to find your father."
They came to He Yanting's room and opened the door to see him sitting on the sofa, drinking ginger tea.
"Fourth brother, I've brought you my son. Um... I'll be going down first."
Huo Qiyu knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he closed the door and ran away.
Tuanbao walked up to He Yanting and looked at him with a frown.
He Yanting filled his teacup and raised an eyebrow at him: "Why do you look like that? If you have something to say, just say it."
"dad."
Tuanbao pursed his lips and mustered up the courage to speak: "I want to ask you a very important question, you are not allowed to lie to me."
"explain."
He Yanting drank tea with a nonchalant tone.
Tuanbao placed his little hand on He Yanting's knee and asked, "Aunt Jiang...is she my mother?"
“Cough cough cough…”
The man who had been calm and composed just now suddenly coughed, "Who said that?"
Tuan Bao said: "It's another aunt who looks very similar to Aunt Jiang."
He Yanting's dark eyes darkened slightly, and his expression turned a little colder.
Tuanbao nudged him: "Dad, you haven't answered me yet, right?"
He Yanting's thin lips moved.
I don’t know how to answer.
He touched Tuanbao's face and said, "You can ask her about this yourself."
As he said that, he took Tuanbao's hand and said, "Let's go downstairs."
At this time, on the first floor.
Xu Tianzhong was sighing to Jiang Xu, "How could you have been so careless and fallen into the lake? It must have been so painful in such a cold weather. Luckily, Mr. He jumped in just in time. Xiao Jiang, you must thank him this time no matter what."
Jiang Xu nodded: "Yeah, I know."
Just then, accompanied by bursts of noise, He Yanting came down from upstairs.
The originally messy guests automatically separated into two lines, and a passage appeared in the middle for him to walk through.
"Mr. He."
Xu Tianzhong didn't expect He Yanting to come straight to them. He said enthusiastically, "Thank you so much for saving Xiao Jiang just now."
"You're welcome."
He Yanting's gaze fell on Jiang Xu. "Miss Jiang, could you please move aside? I have something to tell you."
Feeling the gossipy looks from all directions, Jiang Xu hesitated.
He Yanting took a step closer, and the fresh scent on his body could be clearly smelled.
"Important things."
He lowered his eyes to look at her, his tone slightly heavier.
Jiang Xu looked at his expression and nodded.
As soon as they left, there was a lot of discussion at the scene.
"Who is this woman? Why did Mr. He specifically look for her?"
"Yeah, he just jumped into the water to save her. They have a special relationship."
"Mr. He looks at her differently from others."
…
Listening to these sounds, Xu Tianzhong also felt something was wrong.
It seems like every time I’m with Xiao Jiang, I’ll run into Mr. He. This is the case at Xinrong, at dinner parties, and even at the gallery’s opening ceremony.
Is it just a coincidence?
Jiang Xu followed He Yanting to a room near the garden. Through a glass wall, there was a garden outside and she could see the lake where she had just jumped.
What she didn't expect was that Tuanbao was there too.
Gao Cheng was accompanying the child.
He Yanting gave Gao Cheng a look and he left.
Jiang Xu walked up to Tuanbao, squatted down, and showed a gentle look: "Tuanbao, you are here too. Aunt Jiang was planning to take you out to play in a couple of days."
Tuanbao looked at her with a pair of beautiful and slightly cold big eyes without saying a word.
Jiang Xu frowned, feeling that this child was a little strange.
Although he has a cold personality, he becomes noticeably happier every time he's in her presence.
But today he was unmoved, and even looked at her with a cold look and a frown.
Jiang Xu looked at He Yanting doubtfully.
He Yanting was also looking at her with an indescribable complex look.
"Tuanbao, are you unhappy?"
Jiang Xu raised her hand and wanted to touch his face.
However, Tuanbao took a step back and dodged.
Jiang Xu's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air, and she looked at the alienated child in front of her in confusion.
"Aunt Jiang."
Tuanbao finally spoke, his dark eyes staring at her without blinking, "Are you my mother?"
Before Jiang Xu could react, his brain went blank.
After a moment of blankness, her pupils trembled slightly, and she looked at He Yanting in disbelief, "Did you say that?"
He Yanting shook his head: "Jiang Xueruo told him."
Jiang Xu swallowed her saliva and felt as if a knife was cutting her throat, making it difficult for her to say a word.
Looking at Tuanbao's clear eyes, she couldn't lie.
There was silence for a long moment.
Jiang Xu's eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in her eyes. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry, Tuanbao, I... am indeed your mother."
Almost instantly, Tuanbao's eyes quickly turned red.
His lips were pursed very tightly and his little hands were clenched tightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotion and not to cry.
"Why did you lie to me?"
He spoke in a baby voice, but his tone was fierce.
Jiang Xu said truthfully: "I was afraid that you would hate me and blame me for not accompanying you to grow up."
Tuanbao curled his lips: "I do blame you. You abandoned me and Dad. I hate you!"
It is true.
Jiang Xu felt as if a knife had stabbed her heart, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.
"He Linxi, watch your words!"
He Yanting looked at Jiang Xu's painful expression and scolded in a low voice.
Tuanbao turned his face away and didn't look at Jiang Xu.
He looked like he was trying to distance himself from her.
Jiang Xu seemed to have lost all her strength. She stood up slowly and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Tuanbao, since you hate Mom, Mom will never appear in front of you again. I'm sorry."
She turned around and left in a daze.
I had just taken a few steps when I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
Suddenly, the corner of his clothes was pulled.
Jiang Xu paused, lowered her head, and found that it was Tuanbao who was holding the corner of her clothes.
His face was cold, his eyes were red, and his whole face was full of stubbornness, but his little hands were holding the corner of her clothes very tightly.
Jiang Xu was a little confused and spoke with a heavy nasal tone: "Tuanbao, what do you mean?"
Tuanbao didn't say anything and turned his face away to avoid her gaze.
But he never let go of her hand.
Jiang Xu didn't understand and looked up at He Yanting.
He Yanting looked at Tuanbao with a heavy expression, then shook his head slightly at her and mouthed, "Don't go."
Jiang Xu squatted down and held Tuanbao in his arms.
Tuanbao's movements were very stiff, and his little head was turned away, as if he was very reluctant to get close to her.
But there was no movement to resist.
Jiang Xu hugged him tightly, sniffing his lovely milky scent, and kept repeating: "Baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
After a long time, her crying stopped.
A soft little hand appeared on her face and gently wiped away her tears.
Jiang Xu looked at the child. His eyes were still cold through his tears, but his black eyes were fixed on her, observing her emotions.
"Thanks."
She was both sad and relieved.
Tuanbao blinked his eyes and said expressionlessly: "Don't cry, if you cry again, I will hate you even more."
