After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 88℃】

806

Xu Zhinian didn't feel sleepy.

I moved a chair over and sat on the edge of the bed chatting with him.

807

"I seem to smell something." Xu Zhinian said, "Sister-in-law Wang is making soup again."

I said, "It should be."

With a bitter face, Xu Zhinian gestured with his hands: "I drank so much soup in the past two days, and it was all stewed by Mrs. Wang."

I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Really? You drank it all?"

Xu Zhinian said: "Sister-in-law Wang insisted on watching me finish drinking before she would leave. I feel like my stomach has come out these few days."

I took a look and said, "You should gain weight."

Xu Zhinian said: "But it can't be counterproductive!"

808

I said, "Sister-in-law Wang is also concerned about me."

Xu Zhinian said: "She is too kind to me."

I said, "Sister-in-law Wang has a son who looks about your age."

In fact, he is a few years younger than him, but Xu Zhinian has a small frame and has lost a lot of weight recently. He looks like a student who just entered college.

Xu Zhinian opened his eyes, pretending to be listening to a story.

809

I said, "However, after Mrs. Wang divorced her husband, the son was sentenced to him. She and her son haven't seen each other for a long time."

Xu Zhinian asked suspiciously, "Does Mrs. Wang rarely go back to see her son?"

I said, "She used to ask me to take several days off, just to take a car back to meet her son."

Xu Zhinian said: "Then what happened afterwards? Why haven't we seen each other for a long time?"

"Later..." I shook my head, "When her son grows up, he doesn't really want to recognize her as a mother."

Xu Zhinian opened his eyes wide, full of doubts: "Why?"

810

His parents passed away early, and he was very envious of other people's children and loved by his parents since he was a child, but he didn't.

Naturally, I don't understand why some people would deny their biological mother.

811

I said, "Maybe it's because Mrs. Wang's ex-husband said something that made him feel ashamed to have a mother who works as a nanny."

Xu Zhinian said indignantly, "How could this be!"

I patted his head and said, "After knowing that my son doesn't like her appearance, Mrs. Wang seldom bothers him anymore, but she will send a little money every month for his son's living expenses."

Xu Zhinian grabbed the quilt, very dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's son.

"What's wrong with the babysitter! There is no distinction between high and low occupations, Mrs. Wang also earned money by her own ability, how could he despise him as a son!"

812

After a pause, Xu Zhinian said again: "They really don't know the blessings in the midst of blessings."

He may have thought of his parents, and his mood was depressed.

"Yeah." I agreed, "He doesn't recognize Mrs. Wang as a mother, it's because he doesn't have vision."

Xu Zhinian raised his head and asked me again: "So Mrs. Wang is so kind to me, is it because she thinks of her son?"

I said: "There is a little empathy, but more because I like you."

Xu Zhinian said: "Well, I am much more likable than her son."

813

Xu Zhinian has always respected Mrs. Wang, and never bossed her around just because she was a nanny.

In his spare time, he also helps Mrs. Wang cook, which is really very attractive.

I like it too.

814

I said: "You are kind to others, so others will return your kindness."

Xu Zhinian said: "Actually, I think Mrs. Wang is much better than me, she is the one who takes care of me."

"Then you can repay her later." I said.

Xu Zhinian nodded and responded.

815

After a while, Mrs. Wang finished stewing the soup and brought it in.

This time Xu Zhinian didn't resist, and drank it all without saying a word.

Mrs. Wang was beside her feeling: "With Xiao Jiang around, I am much happier even drinking soup every year."

I:"……"

816

After finishing the soup, Mrs. Wang left with an empty bowl.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

I asked Xu Zhinian: "Do you want to sleep?"

Xu Zhinian shook his head hastily.

I asked again, "Would you like me to stay with you for a while longer?"

Xu Zhinian hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

817

He seems to always be so frank and straightforward.

No beating around the bush, no evasion.

If you like it or not, if you want it, if you want it, tell me without reservation.

818

Xu Zhinian asked me: "What is Mr. Jiang thinking?"

thinking of you.

But instead of saying it, I said, "Do you want to know about me?"

Xu Zhinian's eyes lit up: "What about you?"

"Hmm." I rubbed his hair and asked again: "Want to hear me?"

Xu Zhinian said, "Of course I want to hear it."

819

I also don't know why I suddenly want to talk to Xu Zhinian.

But looking at his sincere gaze, I slowly opened my mouth: "Actually, I didn't have a childhood."

Xu Zhinian was stunned and asked me, "Why?"

I said: "Because I have received a very strict education since I was born. Back then, my grandfather did not give the property to my dad, but to my uncle."

After a pause, I added, "That's Jiang Shengsheng's father."

820

My uncle is the illegitimate son of my grandfather.

The Jiang family's romance is probably in the same line. My grandfather, like my father, has countless illegitimate children raised outside.

Later, an accident happened. My grandfather's unknown illegitimate child was revealed to be not his own, but a mermaid.

DNA testing was not yet popular at that time, my grandfather was furious after finding out the truth, and gradually avoided those illegitimate children.

821

But my dad is really muddy and can't support the wall. He didn't inherit any of my grandfather's business talent.

My grandfather gradually became disappointed with him and never thought of handing over the property to him.

At that time, my grandfather even thought about hiring a professional manager. Fortunately, my uncle stood out from his illegitimate children and took over my grandfather's position.

822

I said, "My company is not actually a family business. My dad only got some shares and has no position to dictate the company's policies and projects. All major decisions are still made by my uncle."

"My dad has always been very unconvinced. He thinks that my brother-in-law robbed him, and he has no ability to snatch it back, so he pinned his hopes on me."

Xu Zhinian said: "So you have to learn a lot since you were young?"

I nodded: "Well, when other people of the same age are still playing, I have to learn all kinds of knowledge, read a lot of data and reports-he doesn't care whether I can understand it at that time, or how much I can learn. As long as it is related, business, management, finance... I have to learn everything, and I must do my best in everything, so that my father is satisfied."

Xu Zhinian asked me distressedly: "Then, it must be very tiring."

I thought for a while: "Actually, it's okay. At first I thought everyone else was the same as me, but later I realized it wasn't. But I was used to it by then."

823

My life seems to be following the path chosen for me by others.

But I had no choice but to accept it.

824

I continued: "Maybe because I do have the talent in this area, I finally lived up to his expectations and took over the position of CEO from my uncle."

Xu Zhinian said: "Mr. Jiang is really great."

I said: "After I became CEO, my dad wanted to get involved in the company's projects, but I rejected it."

"And then I had a total falling out with him."

825

"A falling out?" Xu Zhinian's eyes widened.

I nodded: "Yes."

Of course, there are more specific reasons than these, but there is nothing to mention.

Xu Zhinian said: "I always thought that Mr. Jiang was the proud son of heaven."

I laughed: "Actually, it is considered? Because I have been very good since I was a child."

Xu Zhinian: "..."

826

Xu Zhinian said: "I used to envy Mr. Jiang, I thought Mr. Jiang was always omnipotent."

I couldn't help laughing: "Where am I omnipotent?"

Xu Zhinian said seriously: "In my heart, Mr. Jiang is like this, and one can only look up to him."

I patted his head.

"But in fact, Mr. Jiang is not easy." Xu Zhinian said, "You have to be good enough and strong enough to stand in this position."

827

But most people will only see you standing high.

They can't see how much you have lost and how much effort you have put into it.
