"You don’t need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions," Fu Shengyuan said, his lips curving into an almost imperceptible smile.
Jian Xi tugged at her lip. "President Fu, what do you an by suddenly bringing this up?"
She neither admitted nor denied. Adept at navigating the business world, she was no longer the novice she once was.
"I simply want to offer you a helping hand, consider it a gesture of goodwill."
Fu Shengyuan spoke generously, his eyes brimming with sincerity.
Jian Xi shook her head. "That might not be necessary."
"No, you will need it."
After saying this, he pointed to the pile of supplents on the floor. "Rember to take them, and call if you need anything."
His arrival was swift, his departure decisive.
Such composure was in keeping with Fu Shengyuan’s aura as the richest man.
Jian Xi’s grip tightened, her fingertips turning white, and she took a deep breath.
Calm on the surface, but infinitely alard within.
His reach was indeed far-extending; he knew every little move she’d made recently with absolute clarity.
It seems I really need to root out the spies around .
Who could be his informant?
These thoughts gave Jian Xi an inexplicable headache.
Huang Ying ca up to ask, "Miss Jian, where should we put all these things?"
"Anywhere will do. Give them to soone in need."
Huang Ying wanted to cry but had no tears. These were supplents worth tens of thousands, given away just like that! Such astounding generosity!
Jian Xi certainly didn’t want Si Yuhuan to see any signs that Fu Shengyuan had been there. Accepting his kindness could very well stir up unexpected trouble.Before I get my son back, I must avoid all conflict.
「That evening.」
The nutritionist prepared a al for one.
Jian Xi couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t Si Yuhuan coming back?"
He had stayed here for several consecutive days. His sudden absence naturally made Jian Xi wonder if he had gone to see her son.
"Yes, Director Si said he has so matters to attend to abroad for the next two days. He’s very busy, so he won’t be back for now. He instructed us to take good care of you."
Jian Xi imdiately went to her room and called Wan Yu.
"Quick, help check which country Si Yuhuan has gone to. If possible, I want to know exactly what he has been doing and his precise location."
Wan Yu understood instantly.
"You suspect he’s hiding the child abroad, right?"
Jian Xi nodded repeatedly, her eyes already bloodshot.
"Alright, I’ll get on it right away."
Once Si Yuhuan left, Jian Xi felt a sense of freedom pervade the space.
After consulting with the staff at the postpartum care center and confirming she could move about freely within the enclosed environnt, Jian Xi bundled herself up thoroughly and drove straight from the underground garage to Fuyuan Official Residence.
Having not seen her daughter for several days, her heart ached with longing.
As mothers, it’s not our children who depend on us, but we who depend on them.
Holding the tiny body in her arms, Jian Xi felt her entire heart lt.
Suoya stood by, endlessly praising Yinyin for being clever, remarkably sensible, and acting like a little adult despite being just born. She could cheer people up and slept soundly through the night—a true little angel.
"My good baby, it’s Mommy’s fault I can’t always be with you." She held Yinyin tightly, and the little one gurgled with laughter.
Jian Xi was moved to both tears and laughter as she played with her.
Yinyin reached out her tiny hand to wipe away her tears.
Jian Xi was taken aback.
"Yinyin, you know I’m Mommy, don’t you?"
Yinyin blinked her large eyes.
Her eyes, like sparkling black pearls, filled Jian Xi with such overwhelming joy that she kissed her again and again. She doted on her, treating her like the most precious, fragile treasure.
DING-DONG!
She hadn’t yet erged from her joy when she heard the doorbell ring.
Suoya glanced at Jian Xi.
Jian Xi looked back at her.
"Jian Xi! Co out!"
Her mother’s loud voice erupted from outside.
The inevitable has arrived.
The front door opened.
Jian’s Mother was fuming. "You ungrateful girl! Giving birth all by yourself, and now you bring the child back after it’s all done without even telling us! What, are you planning to disown your father and ? You’re so headstrong, you might as well..."
Her eyes landed on the little one in Jian Xi’s arms and imdiately lit up.
"My granddaughter?"
Overjoyed, Jian’s Mother rushed over, snatched the child from Jian Xi’s arms, and peered so intently at little Yinyin’s face it was as if her eyes were glued to her.
"Wow—what a beautiful baby."
Jian’s Mother’s entire heart lted at Yinyin’s bright smile.
Seeing Yinyin, Father Jian also rushed forward. "Let hold her."
He wiped his hands, extending his arms nervously.
Jian’s Mother, as if she hadn’t seen him, ignored him and continued cooing over the child.
Jian Xi turned back helplessly to look at Suoya.
Suoya didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Mom, you haven’t finished scolding yet!" Jian Xi trailed after her, also wanting to hold her daughter again.
Jian’s Mother wouldn’t let anyone else touch Yinyin.
"Oh, my little baby, you’re so adorable! Just like cotton candy, so soft! Such a tiny thing, and so much prettier than your mother."
After saying this, she didn’t forget to shoot Jian Xi a sharp glare. "You, step aside."
Jian Xi widened her eyes. "Mom, I’m your own flesh and blood."
"Forget it. I don’t have such a headstrong daughter who won’t even let her parents be involved in her pregnancy and childbirth. From now on, you can live your own life! My sweet granddaughter..."
"She’s your maternal granddaughter!" Jian Xi emphasized.
"It’s the sa!"
Jian’s Mother glared at her but didn’t dare to criticize too loudly, acting cautiously and treading lightly.
Seeing this, Jian Xi couldn’t help but press her lips together to suppress a smile.
This is so heartwarming and harmonious. It’s wonderful.If only my son were here.
"Wait, sothing’s wrong. Why is one missing? Weren’t they boy and girl twins? Is it an older brother or a younger brother?"
"An older brother!"
Jian Xi’s voice was hoarse. An inexplicable sense of grievance welled up in her heart. If not for her forced composure, she could have burst into tears right then; the poignant sorrow made her nose sting.
"He’s not in the best health, so he’s staying in Saint Seymour with Zhang Yaxuan. He’ll take good care of my son. I’ll bring him back after a while."
I don’t want Mom and Dad to worry because of .
Jian Xi chose to hide the truth.
I believe my brothers would do the sa; there’s no need to specifically instruct them.
"With twins, it’s hard to ensure balanced nutrition. It’s quite normal for one to be stronger and the other weaker. My poor little maternal grandson, he must have suffered. How about this, I’ll go to Saint Seymour tomorrow to see him."
Jian’s Mother was hot-tempered; whatever she said, she wanted to do imdiately.
Jian Xi stopped her. "Mom, I have so company matters to deal with, and I’ll probably be very busy lately. Could you help look after Yinyin for ?"
"So, my maternal granddaughter is nad Yinyin? Zhang Yin, that sounds nice."
"No, she’s Jian Yin."
Jian’s Mother looked at Jian Xi, suspicion clouding her eyes.
"Zhang Yaxuan and I have a very good relationship. It was his idea to na her Jian Yin. He felt I went through a lot during childbirth, so it doesn’t matter what surna the children have, as long as I’m happy."
Father Jian slapped his thigh, his face beaming with satisfaction. "This son-in-law is a good man! Good character, and his perspective is excellent—none of that nonsense about carrying on the family line. That really pleases ."
Jian’s Mother rolled her eyes. "So good son-in-law he is, not even returning with Xixi."
"Mom! I already told you, Mingming needs to stay there to recuperate! It was my decision, it has nothing to do with Zhang Yaxuan!"
"Look at you, already defending him. Daughter, when will you ever stop being so love-struck? It was like this with Si Yuhuan, and now with Zhang Yaxuan, it’s still..." Jian’s Mother sighed in exasperation.
