Chapter 145 Partner Returns
Chapter 145 Partner Returns
In the following days, Jiang Qianxun naturally treated Huang Xiaoxiao more kindly.
Just like that, a weekend passed.
Jiang Qianxun finally waited for the day when his friends returned home.
The work of the Xing Group was almost done, so on Monday, Jiang Qianxun simply did not go back to the company and waited at home to pick up his partners at the airport.
Aunt Lan didn't know about her plan. When she saw her little girl still at home after breakfast, her first reaction was worry.
"Miss, you didn't go to work today. Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Qianxun opened her mouth, took a bite of the after-meal fruit that Auntie Lan stuffed in front of her, and said in a hurry: "Auntie Lan, I'm fine. I have to go to the airport to pick up the plane today, so I won't go to the company."
"Who are you picking up?"
"Foreign partners will come to work at Huawen in the future."
Hearing the word Chinese, Auntie Lan slowed down in feeding the children: "Are they coming back to help you?"
Huawen is a thorn in the side of the eldest lady. In the past, it was completely in the hands of people like Jiang Wenyuan and Shen Lan. Aunt Lan would not even be tempted to eat dragon meat. When she heard that the eldest lady had a partner joining Huawen, her first reaction was that the eldest lady had a helper.
Jiang Qianxun gave Auntie Lan an admiring look: "Yeah. Before, I was young and let them do whatever they wanted. Now that I'm older and have someone to help me, I can't let Grandpa's Chinese language fall into other people's hands."
Auntie Lan was very pleased to see that the young lady was able to defend herself, and fed her another apple: "Okay. If you need any help, just ask. My abilities are limited, but I can still provide food, accommodation and directions."
Next to him, Uncle Jiang finished washing the last bowl and began to marinate the prawns for lunch, while looking back at Jiang Qianxun.
"As for me, we can't help much with work matters, but food is certainly not a problem. By the way, you're going to pick you up at the airport today, and I can help. You're pregnant with twins, and your belly is big, so it's inconvenient for you to move around. I'll drive you to the airport this afternoon."
As he spoke, Uncle Jiang looked at Jiang Qianxun's belly.
Aunt Lan looked in the direction of the voice, and anxiously put the fruit bowl in her hand on the table, and pulled Jiang Qianxun to look left and right.
"I am a little bit pregnant. I looked pretty normal last week, but now my belly is protruding a bit."
Jiang Qianxun looked down, reached out and touched it, and found that her belly had really grown a lot. In the past, she had to take off her clothes to see her belly. The autumn clothes she was wearing now fit her well last week, but now it seemed a little tight.
"Really." Jiang Qianxun's joy of being a mother for the first time was reflected in her eyes, and she said with some emotion: "I have been too busy recently. If Uncle Jiang hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that I am a pregnant woman."
Uncle Jiang comforted her, "After all, it's normal for a mother to be her first time. I heard from my employees that their daughter-in-law had already given birth, but she left the child behind when she went shopping at the mall. Her family was so anxious that they called the police. So I'll take you to the airport this afternoon, so that you don't see your partners running and jumping when they are happy. It's not safe."
"More than just picking you up at the airport, I think it's time to buy you new clothes. Old Jiang, don't prepare these foods. Drive us to the mall first. I have to help Miss pick out some maternity clothes."
Uncle Jiang pointed at the clock in the small restaurant with his chin: "What time is it now? The mall is not open yet. It won't be too late to go after I prepare the young lady's lunch. You can accompany the young lady to visit the garden first. It's different now. The young lady is in a heavy condition and needs to be carefully taken care of."
"Okay." Aunt Lan quickly caught up with Jiang Qianxun who was getting ready to go out.
Being cared for in all aspects by the two elders, Jiang Qianxun felt surrounded by happiness and went to the back door with Aunt Lan.
Probably because she looked much pregnant, Jiang Qianxun walked around the garden much slower than usual this time. By the time she finished walking three laps as usual, it was already ten o'clock. Uncle Jiang had also finished his work and drove to the gate of the villa to wait for her.
So the three of them got in the car together and headed for the center of Beijing.
I thought there would be few people in the mall early in the morning, but surprisingly, the mall was very busy today, especially in front of some mother and baby brand stores in the mall, there were quite a few customers.
Jiang Qianxun took a look and saw that most of the people there were mothers and children. It was probably because the weather had changed and the mothers were in a hurry to buy seasonal clothes for their children.
After shopping for two hours, Uncle Jiang could hardly hold the bag in his hands, but Aunt Lan still thought it was not enough.
If she had to let Uncle Jiang look after Jiang Qianxun, she would have to pick out a few more sets.
Uncle Jiang is also Aunt Lan's accomplice. Aunt Lan does the work and he pays, and she can't stop him no matter what.
Jiang Qianxun had no choice but to allow the two elders to worry too much while she sat on the bench in front of the store playing with her phone out of boredom.
"I said, I don't want new clothes! I don't want any!" Suddenly, a childish boy's voice sounded beside him.
Jiang Qianxun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little boy about five years old at the door of the store next to him, looking at the woman holding his hand with an unhappy face.
When the woman heard that he didn't want clothes, she bent down and asked him, "Why? Haven't you always wanted to buy Spider-Man's clothes? Can mommy buy it for you?"
"No!" The little boy pulled his hand back, turned his back to the woman, and pouted his little mouth.
"Don't you like Spider-Man anymore? How about buying Super Wings?"
The boy continued to shake his head.
"Pig Man? Sun Wukong?" The woman mentioned other cartoons.
But no matter what the woman said, the boy remained unmoved. After hearing the last part, the boy seemed impatient and turned around to leave.
Seeing that her coaxing was useless, the woman became a little impatient: "So what do you want? Just tell me, if you won't tell me, well, then don't buy anything. I'll send you back to kindergarten now. It's a change of seasons anyway, and you'll be cold without thick clothes. It's not me who gets the injection when you're sick!"
As she said this, the woman pulled the little boy over and was about to leave.
When the little boy heard that he had to go back to kindergarten, he suddenly panicked and tears started falling down.
"I don't want to go back to kindergarten! Wuuuuuu... Mommy is so mean. She has someone else's child and doesn't want me anymore!"
Seeing the child crying, the woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly squatted down distressedly and wiped his tears: "Okay, don't cry, Mommy is also worried. You said you were sick, so you must have been cold. I brought you to buy new clothes, but you don't want them. What do you want Mommy to do?"
"Also, what do you mean by someone else's child? What's in Mommy's belly is your brother or sister. Don't say such things from now on, especially not in front of your daddy." The woman stroked her slightly bulging belly.
Unexpectedly, the little boy cried even harder: "I don't want to! I'm telling you! I have a daddy! He's not my daddy, and the baby you're pregnant with is not my biological brother or sister! Wuuuuu."
"I don't want to go to kindergarten either! Zhang Qian'an and the others know that you and my dad are divorced, and they all laugh at me for being a wild child without a dad. I don't want new clothes, and I don't want a new dad. I want a real daddy, then they won't laugh at me! Wuuuuu..."
"What did you say? Your classmates are laughing at you? No wonder the doctor said there's nothing wrong with you. It turns out you were just looking for an excuse not to go to school! Zhang Qian'an, right? How did he know? I'll call your teacher right now!"
The woman was very angry. She quickly left with her crying child, leaving the guests who were watching the show to point at them, accuse them or sigh.
Jiang Qianxun listened to the little boy's crying gradually fading away and no longer had the heart to play with her phone. She lowered her head and stroked her slightly bulging belly, her mind full of the little boy's tearful eyes and his accusations.
Is that kid so annoying?
How could a wild child say such a thing?
Well, if her child goes to school in the future, will he also be laughed at by his classmates as a child without a father?
If they are laughed at, will they find all kinds of excuses not to go to school and become sensitive, inferior and timid?
Will they also cry and make a fuss, asking her for a real daddy?
Even more, when they grow up in the future, they will blame her for giving birth to them and making them become bastards in the eyes of others.
The joy of becoming a new mother disappeared in an instant, and her heart was filled with worries about her child's future.
Aunt Lan, who was attracted by the commotion just now, saw that there was nothing to watch and was about to go shopping again. She turned around and saw her little daughter's palm-sized face full of worry. Then she thought of the situation of the mother and son just now, and she suddenly lost the mood to go shopping.
"Miss, are you hungry? Why don't we stop shopping and go eat first?" She looked down at the time on her phone and said, "It's definitely too late to go back and cook now. How about we eat nearby?"
......
Finally, Jiang Qianxun had lunch on the fourth floor of the mall.
They ate her favorite hotpot.
Uncle Jiang knew that pregnant women should not eat too much spicy food, so he ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot and personally cooked the delicious Wagyu beef for her. However, Jiang Qianxun obviously had a poor appetite. She put down her chopsticks after eating a few pieces and made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Auntie Lan was a little worried when she saw that she didn't eat much. She nudged Lao Jiang with her elbow and said, "Why don't you give her something else? She still has two babies in her belly. She can't just eat this."
Uncle Jiang prepared a few pieces of Wagyu beef for Aunt Lan: "Director An doesn't want to eat now, so just let her eat later. Pregnant women should eat small meals frequently. When she wants to eat later, I'll make it for her."
Aunt Lan picked up a piece of Wagyu beef, but couldn't put it into her mouth. "Although it's said to eat small meals frequently, she eats too little. Three or four pieces of beef, three people can't digest much. She gets hungry after walking two steps. Otherwise, give her some juice."
"It's not good to drink juice on an empty stomach. Why don't you wait a little longer? I'll make you a salt-baked dish when we get back..."
"You also know that she is on an empty stomach, but you still don't want to make some juice when I ask you to." Aunt Lan put down her chopsticks.
"Men are all the same. They only enjoy the joy of sowing seeds and don't care about anything afterwards. If you ask them to do something, they are unwilling to do this or that. They act so high and mighty! It makes me angry when I see it!"
For example, Mr. Xing, knowing clearly that there was another reason why the young lady did not return home late that night, he should have explained it clearly to the young lady. Instead, he just disappeared, leaving the young lady alone to worry.
Uncle Jiang is not stupid. He knows that Aunt Lan's scolding of him is just an excuse. She is just venting Director An's anger by making indirect accusations.
He didn't know what happened between Director An and the boss, but he would be the first to disagree with the claim that the boss didn't care about anything.
If the boss didn't care, would he let him secretly send the best ingredients to the Jiang family?
Can you ask Song Ma, the family’s wife, to help Director An prepare morning and afternoon tea and send it to the company? Can you send him to the Jiang family to serve Director An? Can you ask him to report on Director An’s diet three times a day?
His boss is innocent.
"You can't say that. What you see is not necessarily true. Some men may seem indifferent on the surface, but they also pay a lot in private. Some things cannot be done with words alone, but actions must be taken."
"Action? What action? Disappear directly? Let your child become a 'bastard'? That's really a human thing to do. Why doesn't he wait until he is buried before making sacrifices? Blessing his child with promotion, wealth and a large family from underground is indeed a kind of sacrifice."
Aunt Lan was like a mother-in-law who saw her daughter being ignored. She sighed with tears in her eyes, "...Why didn't he wait until the eldest daughter raised the child to adulthood before giving back?"
Thinking of the eldest lady's depressed look some time ago, Aunt Lan became more and more angry and began to speak without thinking. When she came to her senses, she was shocked to realize that she had mentioned that noble man, and she felt a little scared again.
Uncle Jiang wanted to plead for his boss: "But..."
