Chapter 349 I Want to Take a Secret Look at Him
The next morning, the red glow in the sky spread out like ink, and soft light shone through the window onto Choubao who was sleeping.
The little fellow was tugging at the quilt and mumbling to himself, his big watery eyes rolling around as he looked around curiously at the surprisingly quiet environment.
Jiang Chengyu was originally still immersed in his dream, and vaguely felt the movement beside him. His arm moved subconsciously, and feeling the presence of Choubao, a bright smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
He slowly opened his eyes and instantly felt a chill, then he realized that his shirt was no longer on him.
He held his forehead with his left hand, calmed himself down, and quickly pulled the quilt over Choubao. Then he grabbed Choubao's little hand and kissed it, saying softly, "Choubao, are you hungry? Did you poop?"
Choubao looked at Jiang Chengyu's cheerful smile and responded with "Oh oh oh", as if he was telling something.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Choubao's elf-like expression, hugged him tightly as if he had survived a disaster, closed his eyes, his face full of happiness, as if he was feeling the preciousness of being alive.
At this moment, Song Shijie opened the door and walked in. Jiang Chengyu heard the voice and hurriedly picked up the quilt to try to cover his naked body. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Song Shijie.
Song Shijie looked surprised, and said with joy in his eyes: "Child, it's great that you woke up."
Jiang Chengyu said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Song, I'm sorry for disturbing you yesterday."
Song Shijie waved his hand, walked to the bedside, and asked with concern: "How do you feel today?"
Jiang Chengyu replied: "It's okay! I'm fine now."
Song Shijie sighed slightly: "Then I will go back. Chenxi was very excited when he saw you yesterday. He urgently asked me to mobilize people to find your whereabouts."
Jiang Chengyu looked dejected after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Uncle Song. Maybe it was because I swiped my card yesterday and he had my phone with him, so he found me after seeing the text message."
Song Shijie said, slowly took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Chengyu: "Take it, buy whatever you need."
Jiang Chengyu quickly declined, "Uncle Song, no need, I..."
Song Shijie stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and said earnestly: “My Song family owes you too much, and I don’t know how to thank you.
Now that Chou Bao is clinging to you again, this is also a small token of my appreciation, and it can be regarded as living expenses for you and Chou Bao. I have not returned home all night, and I am worried that Chen Xi will be suspicious, so I have to go back to check on him quickly." After saying this, he turned and left the room.
Jiang Chengyu looked at Song Shijie's departing back and the gold card placed next to Choubao, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew the status and power of the Song family, and understood Song Shijie's gratitude to him. But he cared more about the relationship between himself and Mu Xiaoji, and the future results.
He secretly made up his mind to take good care of Choubao and let him grow up healthy and happy.
Then he handed it over to Mu Xiaoji properly and comprehensively, allowing the father and son to put aside their past grudges and recognize each other.
At this time, the sun was shining through the window into the room, and Chou Bao was babbling in his arms, as if responding to his inner determination. Jiang Chengyu looked at Chou Bao's cute appearance, and a warm feeling of relief surged in his heart.
In the early morning, the sunlight gently sprinkled into the living room of the Goldsmith Bay Villa. Song Shijie walked into the living room with a briefcase and a sad face, followed closely by Rong Shishan.
Song Shijie walked to the sofa, threw his briefcase on the sofa, and took off his coat. Rong Shishan hurried forward to take the coat and hung it on the hanger.
Song Shijie sat down on the sofa irritably, pulling his tie and sighing heavily.
Shen Rou heard the noise in the dining room, quickly put down the cutlery in her hands, and walked quickly into the living room.
She looked at Song Shijie and asked with concern: "Ajie, you are back? Why didn't you go home last night?"
Song Shijie leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes and did not respond. Shen Rou looked at Rong Shishan again, her eyes full of doubt.
Rong Shishan looked embarrassed and was about to speak when Mu Xiaoji walked out of the restaurant.
Mu Xiaoji walked straight to Song Shijie and sat down, whispering softly: "Dad, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble!"
Song Shijie slowly opened his eyes, looked at Mu Xiaoji's sincere expression, smiled slightly and said, "Son, this little brat is very important to you, Dad knows that."
Mu Xiaoji looked at his father with gratitude: "Thank you, Dad. How is the search going? Any news?"
Shen Rou looked at Song Shijie with a sharp gaze and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Rong Shishan, who was standing behind him, quickly replied, "Jiang Chengyu has come to Kuncheng, and Xiaoji is looking for him."
Shen Rou frowned and scolded angrily, "I knew he would do something naughty."
Shen Rou put on a face full of earnest words and continued, "My son, did you owe him in your previous life?
Can we find a good family to marry into and live a normal life? Are you determined to mess with him for the rest of your life?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled bitterly and explained sadly: "Mom, I have torn up the marriage certificate, and he is free now.
I saw him fainted in the shopping mall yesterday. He looked thinner and shabbier. It looked like he was having a hard time. I thought... I would go see him again for the sake of our past friendship."
Shen Rou looked at her son's bitter face, her heart full of heartache and love. Hearing that Jiang Chengyu had fainted, she was worried about whether Chou Bao was safe. Mixed emotions instantly surged into her heart. She had to act carefully and not let Mu Xiaoji see the flaws.
Song Shijie sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, and he heaved a sigh of relief helplessly, "We have sent people to look for him. Kuncheng is so big, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not easy to find him in one day.
Even if he deliberately hides from you, it won't be easy for us to find him with his intelligence."
Rong Shishan nodded and agreed, "Xiao Ji, although I don't know what happened between you, but since he decided to leave you, he must have thought it over carefully.
During the days when I worked with him, I found that the boy was very opinionated and very smart. Those people in our security company may not be able to defeat his anti-reconnaissance ability. "
Shen Rou looked at her son distressedly and comforted him, "Son, don't worry. Now that you're back, just stay here for a few days. Mom will take good care of you. Seeing you running around and working so hard, it makes me feel distressed."
Mu Xiaoji smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll stay a few more days to accompany you." After that, he slowly stood up and walked upstairs.
Mu Xiaoji returned to the bedroom and slowly approached the window sill. The bright sunshine outside the window was spreading wantonly, as if the dawn brought endless hope and reached people's hearts. He stood in front of the window calmly, his eyes revealing an extremely firm determination.
He took a deep breath, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and quickly slid his slender fingers through the address book, found Wu Lan's cell phone number, and lightly tapped and dialed.
At this time, Wu Lan was concentrating on checking some information at the workbench, her fingers tapping on the keyboard non-stop.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She skillfully saved the files and picked up the phone. When she saw the name on the screen, she was surprised and unbelievable.
Wu Lan answered the phone and said in a teasing tone, "Hello, Mr. Mu, long time no see."
Mu Xiaoji's deep and rich voice sounded: "Is it not disturbing your work?"
Wu Lan smiled and replied easily: "It's like this every day, it can't be considered a nuisance. You called me suddenly, are you just bored and want to chat with me?" Wu Lan joked.
Mu Xiaoji coughed lightly and got straight to the point: "I'm in Kuncheng now. Let's have lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel at noon?"
Wu Lan burst out laughing and said in surprise, "Hey, the sun is rising from the west? You're actually treating me to a meal?"
"Are you free?" Mu Xiaoji's rich, masculine voice echoed in the air.
Wu Lan deliberately dragged out her voice and said, "Yes, but..."
Mu Xiaoji was eager to seek help at this moment, so he didn't care about Wu Lan's pretense. He quickly asked, "But what? Just tell me, as long as I can do it."
Wu Lan laughed and said teasingly, "So straightforward? If you are too attentive to others for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what conspiracy are you planning to sell me out?"
Mu Xiaoji was immediately choked with anger: "I..."
After a pause, he said unhappily, "Do you have an occupational disease? I'm just inviting you to dinner, why do you have so many evil thoughts?"
Wu Lan couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Mu Xiaoji's anxious look, and responded cheerfully: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, see you later."
"See you later..." Mu Xiaoji hung up the phone, a glimmer in his eyes, as if he would soon see news about the little monster!
At noon, the sun shone through the clouds onto the streets of Kuncheng. Wu Lan, dressed in a neat police uniform, walked into the Four Seasons Hotel on time with light steps.
The hotel waiter greeted her politely with a smile and asked, "Miss, how many are you?"
Wu Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and responded, "I have an appointment."
The waiter immediately understood what he meant and asked, "Is that Mr. Mu?"
"Yes, that's right." Wu Lan replied softly.
The waiter gestured for Wu Lan to come in and led her to a private room. The waiter gently pushed open the door, and Wu Lan saw Mu Xiaoji sitting alone in the main seat, with a bunch of gorgeous flowers placed beside him.
When Mu Xiaoji saw Wu Lan, he immediately smiled, slowly stood up and picked up the flowers, and said gentlemanly: "Long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
Wu Lan frowned slightly and said jokingly, "Not long, right? The days when we drank leaf soup together are few and far between."
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he couldn't help but blush all the way to his neck in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Wu Lan smiled and took the bouquet: "I was just teasing you, thank you!"
Mu Xiaoji pulled the chair next to him in a gentlemanly manner. Wu Lan sat down, put the flowers on the chair next to her, turned to look at Mu Xiaoji, and asked directly: "Tell me, what can I help you with?"
Mu Xiaoji smiled and replied: "I'm just inviting you to dinner."
Wu Lan sighed slightly: "Mu Xiaoji, we have known each other for a long time. Don't I know whether you are the kind of person who curry favor with the powerful? Just tell me what you want to say."
After hearing what Wu Lan said, Mu Xiaoji stopped hesitating and said directly: "The little monster has come to Kuncheng. Can you help me find where he lives now? He doesn't seem to be doing well. I want to secretly see him."
Wu Lan was confused and asked stutteringly, "He... came to Kuncheng? No... he just returned to G City a few days ago! What's going on?"
When Mu Xiaoji heard Wu Lan's words, a gloom instantly covered his face, and sadness seemed to be overflowing from his eyes.
