At this moment, Jiang Mian was completely certain that this was her child, and she had no more doubts, only heartache.

"Then I'll be going now, Miss Jiang."

Song Xun could easily understand why the young master, who was so wary, would be willing to go with her.

This woman not only has a name that sounds like Jiang Mian, but she also looks quite similar to him.

Upon hearing Song Xun's farewell, Jiang Mian suddenly came to her senses.

"Wait." She hurriedly turned around and went back into the house, took out the child's clothes that had already been washed and dried, folded them, and put them in a bag.

Then, I packed the egg pancakes into a food bag, tied it up, and put it along with some snacks and clothes into the bag.

I should have bought more snacks, I should have prepared more delicious food...

Jiang Mian suppressed the bitterness in her heart and handed it to Song Xun.

"These are the clothes he changed out of; they've been washed and dried."

Song Xun accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

After he left, Jiang Mian quickly ran to the balcony and looked down.

You can see right downstairs, where a black luxury car is parked quietly.

She had only met her child briefly before he was about to leave her again.

Given her current status and strength, there's absolutely no way she could compete with Lu Bozhou for the child.

She's been dead for five years, and she doesn't even know what her child's name is...

The spacious rear seats of the luxury sedan are equipped with a high-end child safety seat on the left.

Lu Bozhou sat on the right, holding a tablet computer and looking at documents.

Without even looking up, he asked in a calm voice, "You really told her your name?"

“Yes.” The child turned to look at Lu Bozhou. “I’m the one who wanted to come back with her. Don’t make things difficult for her.”

Lu Bozhou raised his eyes and looked over to the side.

He raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? You never used to say your surname was Lu."

As soon as Song Xun got into the car, he noticed the tense atmosphere between the father and son in the back seat.

The young master is exceptionally precocious and possesses a composure far beyond that of children his age.

He had always misunderstood the boss, but given the boss's personality, he was never bothered to explain.

So the atmosphere between father and son is often like this.

He has long been used to it.

"Is it all done?" Lu Bozhou asked, looking up.

"It's all taken care of, Boss, please rest assured." Song Xun nodded.

The driver headed the car toward Lanshan Mansion.

They arrived shortly afterward, and as they got off the bus, the child's eyes fell on the bag in Song Xun's hand.

Lu Bozhou noticed it too, "What is it?"

"These are the young master's clothes. Miss Jiang has already washed, dried, and packed them." Song Xun handed over the bag.

Lu Bozhou took it and glanced at it, then used his slender fingers to pull out two small bags from inside.

One of them contained a few small snacks, and the other contained egg pancakes.

When the child saw it, his eyes seemed to light up, and he reached out to take it.

But Lu Bozhou raised his hand to avoid it.

"its mine!"

For once, there was a hint of urgency in his voice.

Lu Bozhou looked down at him, his usually indifferent gaze now carrying a hint of fatherly authority.

"Lu Chaochi! You ran away from home secretly and went home with a stranger. Everyone was in chaos because of you. And you still think you're right?"

Lu Chaochi didn't speak, his small lips were pursed tightly, and he stared intently at Lu Bozhou.

A moment later, he turned and went inside.

Song Xun felt a pang of pity and sighed softly, "Boss, the young master is still young, and that Miss Jiang doesn't seem like a bad person with ulterior motives."

"How did you determine that?" Lu Bozhou glanced at him sideways, "Just because she's also named 'Jiang Mian'?"

"Uh," Song Xun said, looking down, "Sorry, Boss, I was being too subjective."

"Investigate." Lu Bozhou's voice suddenly turned cold. "I'd like to know why someone who lives in Yalai Garden would happen to pass by Lanshan Mansion if she didn't have ulterior motives."

Before long, the retrieved surveillance footage was already on Lu Bozhou's desk.

Song Xun looked apologetic, proving that the BOSS was indeed right.

Song Xun: "The surveillance footage shows that she was staking out outside Lanshan Mansion."

Lu Bozhou's gaze was chilling as he bent his long, slender fingers and tapped them on the table.

The tone of his voice matched the intensity of his gaze: "You're here for Lu Chaochi?"

Song Xun immediately continued, "I originally thought she was here for the young master, but since Miss Jiang didn't seem to know him, I checked again."

Song Xun clicked on another surveillance video, and there it was—the footage of Jiang Mian staking out outside Dingsheng Group…

Song Xun hesitated and said, "Could they be here for you?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the company to stake out the place.

In addition, he bears a striking resemblance to his wife...

"I'll investigate." Song Xun thought for a moment, then asked, "Boss, could it be another scheme by the Lu family?"

In recent years, the Lu family has tried to make arrangements for Lu Bozhou in many ways, reaching out far and wide.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Bozhou stood up and pointed to the screen. "There's still someone guarding outside the mansion in the surveillance footage. Send someone to check if they're still there and deal with it."

Then he took the tablet and left the study.

Song Xun watched the BOSS's departing figure and sighed inwardly... Poor young master, he's going to get a scolding.

in the room.

Lu Chaochi had secretly retrieved what he wanted from the living room and tiptoed back to his room.

The clothes in the bag were washed and dried clean, and had the same fresh scent of laundry detergent as her.

Unopened snacks can last a long time, so Lu Chaochi put them in the bedside drawer.

The egg pancake has gone cold.

A small, fair hand reached into the food bag, picked up a piece, and carefully put it into her mouth.

good to eat!

Lu Chaochi's eyes immediately lit up!

Just as I was about to grab another piece, the door was pushed open.

Lu Chaochi turned his head sharply to look at the man who came in through the door. A look of panic flashed in his clear eyes, and his small eyebrows quickly furrowed.

Lu Bozhou walked in, glanced at the meager egg pancakes on the table, and his already cold expression grew even colder.

He handed the tablet to Lu Chaochi. On the screen was a picture of Jiang Mian and Meng Yang staking out outside Lanshan Mansion.

Looking at the scene on the screen, Lu Chaochi paused, a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"Did you see clearly?" Lu Bozhou asked indifferently, his slender fingers hooking the bag of shabby egg pancakes.

His eyes narrowed. "And you still dare to eat the food this person gave you? Lu Chaochi, where is your sense of security?"

The next second, in a parabolic arc, the plastic bag, along with the now-cold food inside, landed precisely in the trash can.

Lu Chaochi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his already fair face turned even paler, his lips pressed tightly together.

Lu Bozhou turned and walked towards the door, reached out and opened it, not even glancing at the child, only his indifferent voice came through.

"I will find you a nanny to take care of you 24 hours a day."

"I don't want to!" The child, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, his voice full of resistance. "Five people are already watching me, isn't that enough?"

"As it turns out, that's not enough." Lu Bozhou turned his gaze and looked calmly into the child's eyes.

"Lu Chaochi, things shouldn't happen more than three times. If the same thing happens once or twice, it's my fault. Three or four times? That would make me look utterly incompetent." [I hope everyone enjoys and supports Qiqi's new book. Also, regarding my son's name, Lu Chaochi, the "Chao" in "Chaoyang" (morning sun) is pronounced differently. Don't be misled by the audiobook's pronunciation; it sounds like it's pronounced "chaochi."]
