Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 207 Jiang Yu: I miss my daughter.

Chapter 207: 207 Jiang Yu: I miss my daughter.

"My mother?"

"Yes, your mother."

Old Master Yan’s tone was very firm.

In the past, he dared not tell Yueqing about this matter because he felt that she wasn’t yet capable of handling it.

Moreover, Jiang Yu had suddenly returned to take the child away. She was Yueqing’s biological mother and the biological grandmother of the two children. Even without explaining the reasons, it was unlikely that she would do anything to harm them.

Later, when an imposter replaced Yueqing, Old Master Yan was even somewhat relieved that Jiang Yu took one of the children away.

If both children had been at the Yan family, how could he protect them with his increasingly frail body?!

"At first, on the day you gave birth, your mother came to the hospital and took a child away, who is now Xiao Yan," Old Master Yan recalled that day’s scene and sighed, "You know, the Jiang family is powerful, and she is your biological mother. Taking the child was a piece of cake for her."

Yan Yueqing frowned, "Didn’t she give any reasons?"

"She always acts swiftly and decisively. At that time, she was in too much of a hurry and didn’t provide a reason," Old Master Yan shook his head, "Your mother has always been the one to initiate contact with us, even after that I never found an opportunity to ask."

Yan Yueqing took a deep breath, "I understand."

She hadn’t expected that her mother had a hand in this...

She walked out of the yard and pulled out her phone, sending Jiang Chuanning a message, "Teacher, do you have my mother’s contact information?"

Jiang Chuanning quickly sent back a string of numbers.

Yan Yueqing dialed the number immediately.

The Jiang residence.

In front of Jingshui Lake in the back hills of the estate, Jiang Yu was holding a small bowl of fish food, intent on feeding the koi in the water.

Jiang Ming approached with the phone, gently saying, "It’s your daughter’s call."

Jiang Yu came back to her senses, "That ungrateful little thing, she finally remembers to call her mother?" Then she answered the call joyfully, "Hello? Xiaoxing?"

Yan Yueqing got straight to the point, "Mom, why did you take my child away back then?"

Jiang Yu was stunned, "Hello, hello, hello, the signal is bad in the mountains... What did you say?"

She moved the phone away and hung up with a snap—the move smooth and practiced!

Jiang Ming was amused by her skilled maneuver, "Is that how you treat Xiaoxing? Aren’t you afraid she’ll storm the Jiang residence?"

Jiang Yu laughed proudly, "It’d be great if she did come over! I could trick her into taking over as the head of the family and then I could retire openly and aboveboard!"

Jiang Ming reached out and adjusted a few strands of her hair that had been blown about by the wind, "You’re clearly worrying about your daughter, yet you hung up on her in one second. I’m a bit curious, what exactly did she say to provoke such a reaction from you?"

"What else could she say..." Life’s tough, Jiang Yu sighed, "She asked me why I sent Xiao Yan back to the Jun Residence?"

"That matter..." Jiang Ming’s eyes briefly rippled with emotion, "How long do you plan to tell her?"

Jiang Yu shook her head, "How can I tell her? That her man comes from another world? That Su Zihu is alive but not fully alive?"

Jiang Ming was at a loss for words...

Alright, indeed a tough situation.

Jiang Yu poured all of the fish food into the water and watched the koi flip and swallow the food with mixed feelings of happiness and sorrow, "I’m love-struck, you’re love-struck, we thought we were at the pinnacle of pure love warriors! Then along comes Su Zihu, and I realize there are people even more extreme than us!"

Jiang Ming: No need to bring me into this, but thanks for the invite.

Jiang Yu leaned on him, her brows filled with worry, "For your sake, I was willing to forsake the Jiang family, adamant about marrying and moving to Hua Country... You, for my sake, were willing to fake your death and change your surname to enter the Jiang family... Zihu went even further, coming from such a distant place, getting hurt all over for Xiaoxing, yet still with no regrets..."

A family in pure love heaven indeed...

"I don’t know how to start the conversation with Xiaoxing? In her memory, Su Zihu had already died in that explosion. What if I tell her that Su Zihu is Jun Lii, but not entirely Jun Lii, that they are two halves of a whole, only complete when put together? Sigh... it’s really troublesome. I feel like I can’t even explain it clearly to myself, let alone convince her?"

Jiang Ming patted her shoulder, his broad and generous palm conveying the gentlest warmth, "The children’s affairs, let them learn to solve on their own. Besides, we aren’t clear about Zihu’s current situation either. If Xiaoxing finds out Zihu isn’t dead, but is about to fade away... the pain of losing and regaining only to lose again would make her even more distressed."

Jiang Yu toyed with the cool water, "I had the same thought!"

On the other hand, Yan Yueqing, looking at the hung-up call from her mother, was somewhat bemused.

Bad signal, really?!

As an industrial giant in the tech sector, the Jiang Family has its own signal base station! If the signal’s bad there, then there’s no place where it’s good!

It’s like the River Husband, living in a place abundant with fish and rice, claiming he’s never seen shrimp or crabs!

Couldn’t you come up with a better excuse?!!!

Yan Yueqing felt like storming over to the Jiang Residence right then.

But she quickly calmed down.

With her mother’s capabilities, if she’s unwilling to speak, it’s either because there’s a hidden difficulty, or it involves powers too great for even the Jiang Family to settle for the time being.

Clenching her phone, she hesitated for a long while, then decided to try to get some information out of Jiang Chuanning, "Teacher, are there any families bigger than ours in Hua Country now?"

"Hardly any." Jiang Chuanning probably guessed what she was getting at, "Miss Xing, if the head of the family is unwilling to discuss it, there must be reasons they can’t divulge. You can go back to the Jiang Residence and ask her directly."

Is that so...

Yan Yueqing was just debating whether to make the trip back.

Then Jiang Chuanning sent another message, "Friendly reminder, the head of the family has been wanting to retire for a long time."

Meaning, if the little head of the family returns, the chances of being roped into the position are quite substantial~~~

Through the screen, Yan Yueqing could almost feel Teacher Jiang’s face crinkled with laughter.

Fine!

Returning was inevitable, but inheriting the Jiang Family wasn’t happening!

Yan Yueqing didn’t understand why she felt so resistant to the idea; she just intrinsically rebelled against it.

Jiang Chuanning continued, "I vaguely remember that Miss Xing made a bet with the head of the family that if she didn’t accomplish anything substantial in Hua Country within ten years, she would obediently return to take up the headship. Seven years have passed already~"

Ah, what?!

Yan Yueqing suddenly felt fired up!

She had to put in the effort to spend money in Hua Country!

Without effort, she’d be dragged back to inherit billions in assets!

That night.

Jiang Chuanning arrived at the headquarters of Zhongxing Media in the Magic Capital.

Director Tang knew he was coming and set aside his work to personally pick him up at the airport.

Upon meeting, Jiang Chuanning greeted him politely, "Director Tang, hello. I am the steward sent by Miss Yan, my surname is Jiang, and you may call me Steward Jiang."

"Steward Jiang, hello." Director Tang sized him up, his heart even more astonished.

The boss is really something!

The family steward possessed a demeanor that wasn’t inferior to any of the directors he had ever met!
