Chapter 172 I Can’t Give You More
After work, He Yanting took Jiang Xu and Tuanbao to a private ski resort in the suburbs.
During the day, they skied and stayed in a holiday cabin in the forest at night.
Jiang Xu's limbs have always been uncoordinated. Even Tuanbao has learned to ski, but she hasn't.
He Yanting has excellent skiing skills and taught her very patiently.
Finally, when Jiang Xu dove headfirst into a snowdrift on the side of the road and was pulled out by He Yanting, he said helplessly, "Ruanruan, why don't you stop learning."
Jiang Xu had a strong desire to win: "No, I must learn it."
The father and son watched her awkwardly walk on her skis, and Tuanbao couldn't help but comment: "She looks like a penguin at the zoo."
Judge He Yan sighed deeply: "Fortunately, I will be returning home tomorrow."
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
When they returned to the cabin in the evening, He Yanting made grilled steak and pasta, and the three of them enjoyed their last dinner here with great satisfaction.
Late at night, they looked at the stars together in front of the window.
In the mountains at night, the air is fresh and the sky looks like a clean curtain, dotted with stars of all sizes that twinkle constantly.
He Yanting carried the sleeping Tuanbao back to the bedroom and came to Jiang Xu's side.
The firewood in the fireplace burned, making crackling sounds. After a moment of silence, Jiang Xu spoke first: "What happened in the past is in the past. I don't want those things to affect Tuanbao."
He Yanting looked at her: "I want more than just this."
Jiang Xu raised his eyes and looked at the starry sky: "I can't give you more. Being able to live in peace with you is the biggest concession I have made for Tuanbao."
After saying that, she turned and went back to the bedroom.
He Yanting didn't come in until she fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, He Yanting was not in bed either, but judging by the wrinkles on the pillow, he did sleep here last night.
After helping Tuanbao get dressed and walking into the living room, I saw that the suitcase had been packed.
He Yanting came out of the kitchen, holding breakfast in his hands: "That's great, let's eat."
Jiang Xu went to wash up. Tuanbao sat at the dining table, looked at He Yanting, and asked softly, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
He Yanting curled his lips at him and said, "Don't meddle in the adults' business. Eat."
Tuanbao asked again: "When will you be able to catch up with her?"
He Yanting rubbed his temples: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Tuanbao nodded seriously: "Yes."
He Yanting cut the bacon gracefully. "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"
Tuanbao snorted, "Even the biggest suitcase in the house can't hold as much as you can."
He Yanting pointed a dinner knife at Tuanbao and threatened, "Watch your words and don't imitate me."
At this time, Jiang Xu came out of the bathroom and saw the father and son whispering something secretly.
As soon as she came over, the two of them stopped talking.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
He Yanting touched Tuanbao's head, looking like a loving father and a filial son. "Nothing, just joking, right, son."
Tuanbao: “Yes…”
They first took a car back to the city, then rushed to the airport, transferred at one station, and landed in Beijing twelve hours later.
Afterwards, everyone went home to rest.
The next day, Jiang Xu suddenly received a call from Aunt Zhang.
I learned from the phone that my mother Xia Yulin had been in a car accident and was in hospital.
Jiang Xu was so scared that he immediately asked for leave and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, the car accident was not serious. Xia Yulin only suffered a slight fracture in her left leg and a mild concussion.
However, when she learned that her mother had been in trouble a few days ago but had kept it a secret from her, Jiang Xu couldn't help but complain.
"How could you hide such a big thing from me?"
Xia Yulin touched her face gently: "It's not a big deal. I didn't want to disturb you at work. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Jiang Xu went to see a doctor and was relieved to learn that the problem was not serious and that it would be fine after a month or so of rest.
Before she had even waited a moment, Xia Yulin urged, "Sister Zhang is here to take care of us. Don't worry. Go and do your thing."
Jiang Xu tried his best to persuade him and stayed with him for a while before getting up and leaving.
She remembered that He Youyun was a nurse here, so she went to find her.
"sister in law."
When He Youyun saw her, he took her hand very intimately.
Jiang Xu asked, "Are grandpa and grandma okay?"
He Youyun said, "They should be fine. They have been living in a mountain somewhere out in the country. It is said that the old lady has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures every day. The New Year is coming soon, so they should be back."
"By the way, I'm free tonight, let's make an appointment."
She shook Jiang Xu's hand.
"Okay." Jiang Xu agreed readily.
At this moment, He Youyun suddenly looked behind Jiang Xu, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hands to cover his face.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her expression as if she had seen a ghost, Jiang Xu looked back and was stunned.
I saw a doctor in a white coat and with a very elegant temperament striding towards me. He was tall, with a straight back and wearing silver-rimmed glasses. He was a very typical Chinese handsome guy.
At this time, the other party also saw her, raised his eyebrows, and walked towards them.
"Are you... Jiang Xu?"
The man asked tentatively.
Jiang Xu nodded and smiled, "Long time no see."
He Youyun was extremely surprised, "Do you know each other?"
Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Yes, he... is my good friend's neighbor."
That’s right, this Dr. Ji, Ji Baifeng, is the white moonlight that Chi Xiaoli has been thinking about for many years.
"I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Ji Baifeng looked at He Youyun meaningfully and strode away.
He Youyun scratched his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
Jiang Xu saw that her expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong? Seeing him is like a mouse seeing a cat."
He Youyun hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, I'm so miserable. The hospital spent a lot of money to hire this doctor, Dr. Ji. He is said to have studied abroad and is very capable. He is also very handsome. We discuss him privately every day."
"That night in the lounge, I was teasing him with a colleague, but he was sleeping right next to me. It was so embarrassing."
Hearing this, Jiang Xu couldn't help but laugh: "The point is, what did you cricket?"
He Youyun blushed. "Nothing much. We were just talking about him. My colleague said he looked very good. I said he's already 32, so he's definitely not that good."
Jiang Xu was amused: "It's really nothing, just live on another planet."
"Oh, I regret it so much, it's all my fault for having such a bad mouth!"
He Youyun looked hopeless.
Jiang Xu comforted her: "Based on my understanding, he shouldn't be the kind of person who holds grudges. Don't worry."
He Youyun curled her lips and said, "I'm going to get busy first. See you in the evening."
Jiang Xu left the hospital and received a call from Xia Yu.
"Sister, last time you asked me to investigate that damn green tea bitch Jiang Xueruo, I actually found something interesting. All of her works were auctioned through the Song family's auction house, and the agency she signed with is also under the Song family."
Jiang Xu asked Xia Yu to help investigate Jiang Xueruo some time ago, but he didn't expect to get the news so soon.
Jiang Xu said, "There are a lot of rumors about her online. She was suddenly promoted from an unknown artist to a talented painter. There must be someone behind her. So it's very likely that she's from the Song family."
Xia Yu lamented, "It's a pity that we didn't find more useful information."
"No rush. Now at least we know it's related to the Song family, so we have a direction."
Jiang Xu was not in a hurry.
She could spend years studying the principles of a certain drug, and she had enough patience to deal with Jiang Xueruo.
