Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

In the ward.

Su Mei knew nothing about everything. When she saw Cui Xingye arrive and learned that he was Xu Chaoxi's friend, she put on a kind smile.

"Auntie, you'll get better."

Cui Xingye comforted him.

Su Mei smiled gently: "I don't know where Xixi has gone. I haven't seen her for several days."

Cui Xingye's eyes flickered.

"Uncle Gao!" Yi Yi excitedly pointed to the door.

Cui Xingye looked back in confusion and found nothing there.

"Uncle Gao?"

Zhong Qingli asked in confusion, "Yiyi, what Uncle Gao?"

"It's Uncle Gao!" Yi Yi said excitedly.

Zhong Qingli got up suspiciously and walked outside, peeking out but seeing nothing.

Where did this Uncle Gao come from?

Just as she was about to look away, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Jingsi?

Was that Jiang Jingsi who was standing at the door just now?

Thinking this, she walked over to Cui Xingye and asked in a low voice, "Has Jiang Jingsi arrived?"

Cui Xingye was surprised: "No, he's already gone."

It seems they've been here before.

Zhong Qingli pondered for a moment, then took out her phone, searched for Jiang Jingsi's photo on Baidu, and placed it in front of Yi Yi. "Yi Yi, is this the Uncle Gao you were talking about?"

Yi Yi clapped her hands happily, her big eyes shining: "Uncle Gao!"

"His surname isn't Gao." Cui Xingye leaned closer for a suspicious look, then corrected, "Yiyi, he's not Uncle Gao, he's—"

"He's another uncle!"

Zhong Qingli quickly interrupted Cui Xingye, who wanted to reveal the truth about Yisheng's father in front of Su Mei.

As if realizing something, Cui Xingye laughed and said, "That's right, he's another uncle, not Uncle Gao."

"No." Yi Yi's little face was very serious. "He is Uncle Gao, Gao Gao's uncle."

Zhong Qingli couldn't help but laugh.

"Baby, you're so cute."

If someone is tall, call them Uncle Gao.

Everyone present understood and couldn't help but laugh.

Yi Yi didn't know what they were laughing at, but seeing them laughing, she laughed along with them.

After staying there for about half an hour, Cui Xingye made an excuse to leave.

After leaving the hospital, I saw a familiar car parked at the entrance, walked straight up to it, and opened the door.

"Did you see your daughter?"

The smell of smoke in the car was a bit strong, so he quickly rolled down the window.

"Yes, she's very well-behaved."

She recognizes you, but she doesn't know you're her father.

"Yes, I saw her when I went to the hospital before."

"No wonder." Cui Xingye was somewhat envious.

How lucky! They had a daughter without doing anything.

"Get off, I'm going back."

"Why go back?"

"Catch up on sleep."

"Okay." Cui Xingye obediently opened the car door.

What a wicked capitalist! He came to visit his daughter on behalf of his boss, and now that he's done using her, he's sending her back to work.

When Xu Chaoxi composed herself and went to Su Mei's ward, Cui Xingye had already left.

Zhong Qingli brought up what had just happened, and took the opportunity to whisper to her that Jiang Jingsi had come by and that Yi Yi knew him.

Xu Chaoxi was stunned. She never expected that Yi Yi and Jiang Jingsi had already met.

She lovingly stroked Yi Yi's little face.

"Qingli, could you please take Yiyi to buy some snacks for me?"

Su Mei found an excuse to have Zhong Qingli take Yi Yi out.

Seeing that the mother and daughter had something to say, Zhong Qingli tactfully took Yi Yi's hand and went outside.

As soon as the door closed, Su Mei's face turned serious.

"Are you hiding something from me? You're not acting right."

Xu Chaoxi's face stiffened, and she forced a smile, saying, "Mom, what am I hiding from you? I just have a fever and feel a little unwell."

Su Mei pursed her lips and frowned.

She knew her daughter better than anyone.

"Xixi, tell Mommy, okay?"

Xu Chaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes stung with tears, but she suppressed them all: "I'm really fine, Mom, you don't need to worry about me."

"I heard that they were supposed to have a kidney donor for me last time, but it was cut off."

"Who said that?" She immediately became alert.

Could it have been Jiang Jingsi who said it?

"Why are you so nervous?" Su Mei grasped her hand. "Just tell me, is it true?"

"I..." Xu Chaoxi hesitated.

Reason told her she shouldn't tell, but emotion told her that her mother was the closest person to her and she shouldn't keep it from her.

"I……"

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about it, Su Mei stopped asking and instead asked:

"XiXi, who's your boss now? What's his name?"

"Mom, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Xu Chaoxi's eyes flickered.

"Tell me, okay?"

"I..." Xu Chaoxi was afraid.

She dared not say it.

"How did your chat with Aunt Zhang's son go last time?"

"Mom, you're acting strange today. Did someone say something to you?"

Seeing this, Su Mei stopped beating around the bush and said, "Your Aunt Zhang called me and said... she said a few words that you and Xiao Song are not meant to be, and you shouldn't contact him anymore."

Xu Chaoxi's heart sank instantly.

Was it because of what Jiang Jingsi said last time, and what did Song Yuqian say to Aunt Zhang?

It has to be said, she guessed right.

What Su Mei didn't say was that Aunt Zhang's words were ten times harsher than such euphemisms; she was practically pointing her finger at Su Mei's nose and cursing her, as well as Xu Chaoxi.

She was furious and had a fight with Aunt Zhang, and the two parted on bad terms.

This friendship of twenty years shattered at this moment, and they both blocked each other.

"Chaoxi, if you've suffered any injustice, you must tell your mother. Don't keep it to yourself, it will break my heart," Su Mei said with a complicated expression.

"Yes, I know, Mom. I won't let myself be wronged."

Xu Chaoxi gave her a genuine smile.

Even if it's just for her mother and Yi Yi, she will persevere.

-

"You've been looking out of sorts lately, you must not be sleeping well, so I brought you some calming chrysanthemum tea."

Cen Nian placed a box of tea in front of Jiang Jingsi.

"Thank you, that's kind of you," he said politely.

"We're getting married soon, there's no need to be so distant, is there?"

She glanced into the secretary's office and, noticing Xu Chaoxi wasn't there, asked, "Where's Secretary Xu? Didn't she come to work today?"

Jiang Jingsi paused, then said expressionlessly, "I'm sick and have taken leave."

Cen Nian didn't say much and sat down opposite him.

"Have you and Chaoxi discussed this together? The issue of child custody."

Jiang Jingsi simply put down his pen. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"We're getting married soon, so we still need to think about this. Jing Si, whatever you do, I'll support you, but I hope you can keep the child with you."

Hearing her words, Jiang Jingsi was stunned for a moment. "Why?"
