The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

After belittling her son, Mrs. Qiao said, "Since that taciturn man won't take the initiative, then you should take the initiative. As the saying goes, 'A woman pursuing a man is like piercing a thin veil.' As long as you take the initiative and keep bothering him, he definitely won't be able to do anything but obediently give in."

Despite saying that, Wen Xiaoman really didn't have the courage.

She opened her mouth, then said bitterly, "Mrs. Qiao, I'm sorry, I..."

Mrs. Qiao quickly interrupted her, "Don't tell me you're not good enough. In all his life, Si Nian has only ever had one love in his heart. If even you aren't good enough, then there really won't be any other girl in the world who can enter his cold and hard heart."

She sighed, "Well, I have no other choice. I can only rely on you now..."

Seeing Wen Xiaoman's wavering expression, Mrs. Qiao continued, "If you're worried that Si Nian will continue to avoid you, it's okay. Auntie can help you. I'll create opportunities for you."

Wen Xiaoman was completely stunned by Madam Qiao's series of words, and her mind went blank.

What... what's wrong with Mrs. Qiao?

Is she afraid her son will remain a bachelor?

Not only should she be made to relentlessly pursue Qiao Sinian, but she should also be personally given opportunities.

A whole host of words of refusal welled up in Wen Xiaoman's mouth, but looking into Mrs. Qiao's sincere, even slightly pleading, eyes, she really didn't know what to say...

Seeing that the time was right, Mrs. Qiao knew she couldn't push too hard, so she used a strategy of retreat: "This matter isn't urgent. I won't pressure you. Go back first, think it over carefully, and give me your answer tomorrow, okay?"

Seeing this, Wen Xiaoman could only nod: "Um... okay, I... I'll think about it when I get back."

The two cups of coffee on the table had long since gone cold and remained untouched.

Wen Xiaoman stood up in a daze, nodded politely to Mrs. Qiao, and left the coffee shop.

As soon as Wen Xiaoman left, Madam Qiao raised her hand and summoned her subordinates.

A subordinate dressed in plain clothes immediately appeared beside the booth, bowing respectfully: "Madam, what are your orders?"

Madam Qiao's eyes suddenly turned serious, and she said solemnly, "Go and investigate someone. There is a little boy in the Su family. I need to know his specific identity, who his biological parents are, and all his background information. The more detailed the better."

"Yes." The subordinate acknowledged the order and quickly and silently withdrew.

Mrs. Qiao sat alone in the coffee shop, the image of the child replaying in her mind, becoming more and more suspicious.

Wen Xiaoman's words at the Su family earlier did not dispel her doubts; she simply did not press the matter on the spot.

That child's face looked so much like Si Nian's.

She would be restless and unable to eat or sleep unless the truth was thoroughly investigated.

......

Wen Xiaoman returned to the Su family manor in a daze, and Su Yutang immediately greeted her: "Xiaoman, what did Madam Qiao want with you? Did she give you any trouble?"

Wen Xiaoman shook her head and told Su Yutang exactly what Madam Qiao had told her to pester Qiao Sinian and even create opportunities for her.

Finally, she frowned in confusion: "Tangtang, what do you think... Mrs. Qiao really means? I find it so strange."

After listening, Su Yutang also fell into deep thought.

Mrs. Qiao's attitude was indeed suspicious. If she was simply doing it for her son's own good, she was being far too hasty.

Moreover, given Qiao Sinian's status and position as the eldest son of the Chemosi family, what kind of woman couldn't he have?

Why would his mother travel all the way to the capital to persuade Wen Xiaoman to go back and pursue her son? It doesn't make sense for the mother to be anxious when the son isn't.

She looked at Wen Xiaoman and asked seriously, "Xiaoman, putting aside Mrs. Qiao's attitude, what do you think? You two have been through so much together, do you still want to... try again? Perhaps, Qiao Sinian really has some difficulties that we don't know about, who knows?"

Wen Xiaoman was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't want to go back. I thought about it for a long time on the way back, and I really can't understand what kind of great hardship he could have that makes him push me away again and again, and even refuse to see me. If he really likes me and cares about me, he should come to me himself. What is the point of hiding like this?"

Su Yutang nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. Relationships are a matter between two people. If he really cares about you, no matter what difficulties there are, he should take the initiative to stand up and find a solution, instead of letting you bear all the speculation and pain alone."

Wen Xiaoman suddenly remembered something, and her tone became somewhat worried: "Oh right, Tangtang, there's one more thing. Today, Madam Qiao saw Xiao Ayan, and her eyes... seemed a little suspicious. I'm afraid she'll find out that Xiao Ayan is my and Si Nian's child."

Su Yutang raised an eyebrow: "Why should I be afraid?"

Wen Xiaoman sighed, her brows furrowed with worry: "In the end, they are still the Chemosi family, with immense power. If they find out about Xiao Ayan's existence and want to take him away to raise, I definitely can't win. So, I still don't want them to know."

Qiao Siyue knew about this, but Qiao Siyue was a wicked person who always had bad intentions, so he certainly wouldn't expose Xiao Ayan's existence first.

Su Yutang understood her concerns, but she also looked further ahead. She pondered and said, "I'm afraid this matter can't be kept secret. Since Madam Qiao has already become suspicious, it's only a matter of time before she finds out the truth."

Wen Xiaoman: "......"

Yes, if Qiao Siyue could find out, how could Mrs. Qiao not?

Seeing Wen Xiaoman's face turn pale instantly, Su Yutang held her hand and comforted her, "However, you don't need to worry too much. Knowing may not be a bad thing. After Madam Qiao finds out, she will definitely tell Qiao Sinian. This is a good opportunity to test Qiao Sinian's attitude. Since he can be so heartless as to not see you, can he also turn a blind eye to his own flesh and blood?"

"Let's see how he reacts when he finds out he has a son."

......

Mrs. Qiao was extremely patient and waited patiently, but she also trusted her subordinates' efficiency.

Sure enough, not long after, the investigator returned, carrying a thin brown paper document bag.

He strode up to Mrs. Qiao and presented the file bag with both hands: "Madam, we've found it. This is all the information we could gather."

Mrs. Qiao took the file bag, her fingertips even trembling slightly, almost imperceptibly.

It's too late to do a paternity test now, but she can try to figure it out through some subtle details.

She took a deep breath, tore open the seal, and pulled out the stack of documents inside—not too thick, but potentially incredibly heavy.
