Jin Fengchen walked to the door. And with his eyes on the old man, he said politely, "Grandpa."The old man nodded and said, "Finally you're here! Where is Fengyao? He isn't here?"Jin Fengchen, with a light smile on his face, said, "You know how he is. He's always fidgeting."The two brothers of the Jin Family would visit their grandpa when they had time. Jin Fengyao always got bored right after he was seated. The second Young Master of the Jin Family wasn't interested in sitting down, playing the chess and drinking tea at all. He would rather work in the office.The old man smiled. "That kid..."Jin Fengchen helped the old man through the door while saying, "Let's go inside, Grandpa. I'll challenge you to a chess match."The old man was pleased to hear that.Jin Fengchen noticed that the tea set was gone the minute he got in. He knew that his grandpa had always been fond of that set and it had been there for a long time. Jin Fengyao once asked if he could give it to a client a
Old Qin started to teach Jiang Sese how to make tea properly. Then they talked about the art of tea. The conversations were nice and Jiang Sese was very intrigued. They even played chess.Jiang Sese knew how to play chess and considered herself an expert. But she completely lost the match to Old Jin.Jiang Sese smiled awkwardly. "Grandpa Qin, you're so good at this."Old Qin smiled as well. Yesterday, he lost all three games to Jin Fengchen and was feeling really down because of it. He had been playing chess all his life and he took it hard that he now lost to his own grandchild. Now he was really happy that he beat Jiang Sese."Girl, you surely have some talents in chess too. You're very clever."It was about eight o'clock when they finished playing chess. Jiang Sese was ready to go back.Old Qin was also leaving so he said, "Let's go. I'm going home too. I can give you a lift."Jiang Sese thought about it for a minute and didn't refuse.The car drove to the gate. Jiang Sese g
Jiang Sese got very upset all of a sudden. But in the end, she smiled and said to him, "Xiaobao, it's about bedtime. Let me tell you a bedtime story then let's just go to bed."Xiaobao nodded. He wanted to say so many things to her, but he was also sleepy at the time being, so he didn't say anything further.He snuggled himself inside Jiang Sese's arms to listen to her stories. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.Jiang Sese fixed her eyes on Xiaobao, who was quietly asleep. She tucked him in and then went to sleep as well.That night was quiet and lovely.The next day, just after Jiang Sese and Xiaobao had breakfast, the housekeeper was there to knock on the door.She opened the door and heard Old Zhang say, "Miss Jiang, I'm here to take Little Master to school and you to work.""Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang."Then Jiang Sese organized her things and left with Xiaobao.When they were on the road, Mr. Zhang said, "Miss Jiang, it has been hectic at home these days. Young Master s
Over on the other end, Jiang Sese was still in a trance-like state after leaving the hospital.What she saw in the hospital was fresh in her memory and Jiang Sese chuckled in a self-mocking way. She thought that she had given up all hope on Jin Fengchen, but the disappointment was still killing her.Only then did Jiang Sese realize that she hadn't given up hope altogether. Deep down, she believed that both Jin Fengchen and Xiaobao liked her and she hadn't stopped trying. She thought that maybe one day, the people of the Jin Family would finally accept her and she could be together with Jin Fengchen.But now...He and Su Qingyin were already making plans to have a baby? Did he want this or had his family forced him into it?One way or another, it meant that she and Jin Fengchen were no longer a possibility.Jiang Sese took a deep breath. She had to let go now.The two of them had no future.Jiang Sese told herself repeatedly that she should accept this reality. She sighed, pulle
After Jin Fengchen left, Jiang Sese ran a bath for Xiaobao, then took him to bed. Xiaobao asked in bewilderment. "Aunt Sese, why did you send Daddy away?"Jing Sese was surprised by the question. Xiaobao then went on. "Aunt Sese, I know I said last night that Daddy will marry someone else, but I believe in him. I know he likes you just like I do. We both want to be with you."Jiang Sese smiled bitterly, but she was convinced that it wasn't possible between her and Jin Fengchen.She wanted to tell Xiaobao that it was only a matter of time before they had to say goodbye, but couldn't bring herself to say those words. Rubbing Xiaobao's head, she said gently, "There, Xiaobao, I hear you. But it's a grown-up matter and you shouldn't be worried about it. It's late. Go to sleep now."Xiaobao heaved a sigh, then curled up in Jiang Sese's arms and closed his eyes....The following day, the housekeeper showed up as usual, taking Xiaobao to school before dropping Jiang Sese off at her offi
In the restaurant, Su Qingyin talked about their business plan in an unhurried tone.The Su Family had started off with a different plan for the bidding, but then the Lan Group proposed to build a hi-tech park on the land, which the Su Group considered to have a lot of potentials. That was why they decided to give the Lan Group a chance.Lan Sichen said, "Please be reassured. The Lan Group will do our best.""Of course. I have faith in you, Mr. Lan," said Su Qingyin.The deal was sealed and an agreement was reached. Lan Sichen looked pleased."Miss Su, I'm looking forward to working with you."Su Qingyin smiled. "Me, too. The Su Group will draw up a contract soon and have it delivered to the Lan Group.""Thank you very much."They then had dinner together. Afterward, Su Qingyin carried out her real plan. Before she left, she took out a card from her handbag and handed it to Jiang Nuannuan with a smile. "Miss Jiang, here's a VIP card to the SK Beauty Salon. Tell them I referred
Xiaobao smiled when he heard that someone thought Jiang Sese was his mother, and he didn't deny it. Instead, he said proudly, "That's right! She's my mommy!"Jiang Sese smiled but said nothing.After saying goodbye to Jiang Sese, Xiaobao followed his teacher into the classroom.Watching him from behind, Jiang Sese felt dazed for a moment. How she wished that Xiaobao was that baby she had given birth to!Immediately, Jiang Sese was shocked by her own thought. She then smiled in resignation. "Of course Xiaobao isn't that baby. The Jin Family is too rich to turn to a surrogate mother for what they need."After that, Jiang Sese began to wonder who Xiaobao's mother could be.But she didn't let herself ponder the question for too long. She went directly to her office after that....Su Shan publicly excoriated some of the staff during the morning meeting."Han Jing, how long have you had that project? Are you ever going to come up with a plausible business plan? SR already wants to
Jiang Sese's face darkened when she heard Han Jing's insulting comment. She could imagine how frustrated Han Jing had to feel at the moment, but she wasn't the type to endure everything in silence.With a smirk, Jiang Sese said, "I don't recall any rules saying we're not allowed to socialize with our clients outside of work. Han Jing, I have succeeded in all my projects because I worked hard for them. You may not have what it takes to do your job right, but don't think everyone else is as despicable as you."After that, Jiang Sese left without taking any information from Han Jing. She went to Su Shan instead to get the general information on the client, then went back to her desk.The others also thought that Han Jing hadn't gotten her facts straight and were convinced that she was obviously jealous of Jiang Sese, which was why no one had backed Han Jing up. The woman sat at her desk, seething with anger.She gritted her teeth. Recalling how difficult the head of the SR Group proje
