After Jiang Jinsang had been hospitalized, the Jiang Family’s house was in chaos. It hadn’t been easy for Shen Zhixian, taking care of two children and handling work all by herself, and most of the time, she stayed with the Xie Family.

She knew in her heart that there were still ghosts in the Xie Family that hadn’t appeared, but since her relationship with Jiang Yanting had been made public, she was forthright about it and decided to boldly return home.

At the moment, the most anxious and worried was not her, but the ghost lurking within the Xie Family.

“Later, we’ll go to the Xie Family together and take our things back home,” Jiang Yanting said in a low voice, with a hint of coaxing.

Shen Zhixian’s head was spinning; she hadn’t recovered yet when everything was settled.

Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian, along with their two children, finished dinner at the old house and were preparing to leave.

Although the grandmother was reluctant to see them go, the family of four rarely had the time to spend together, so she didn’t hold them back.

“I’ll bring them over often,” Jiang Yanting assured the grandmother.

“I’ll tidy up the guest room properly, so you can come back and stay anytime you want,” Fan Mingyu said with a smile, “Yanting, you’ve been working hard recently, too. Your father and I have discussed it already; you don’t have to go to the company for a while. Take a couple of days off at home and spend time with them.”

Jiang Zhenhuan had drunk too much at noon and was still not sober.

“I understand,” Jiang Yanting nodded.

“Oh, what happened to your clothes?” The grandmother adjusted her glasses and stared at Jiang Yanting’s chest. He rarely came to the old house and had no change of clothes. Even though the button was torn off, he still had to wear it, “Did a button fall off?”

Shen Zhixian’s face turned red all of a sudden, but Jiang Yanting remained calm, “Hmm, it accidentally came off.”

“Go change as soon as you get back…”

…

After the family of four left, the serving staff cleaning the house found the fallen button.

“Where did you find it?” The grandmother asked casually.

“In Miss Shen’s room.”

Everyone: “…”

This really was an accident.

The four of them went to the Xie Family to collect their belongings and returned to Qihu Mountain Villa.

Old Mr. Xie pulled Jiang Yanting aside to inquire about Jiang Jinsang’s health again. Hearing that there was no serious issue, he uttered several praises and then urged the four to hurry back home.

“Xie Duo, what are you standing there for like a fool? Why aren’t you hurrying to help your little aunt and uncle carry things?” Old Mr. Xie glanced at the person standing on one side, “You’ve got no initiative at all, just standing there like a log!”

Xie Duo: “…”

Previously, nobody knew who had gotten his little aunt pregnant, and Shen Zhixian refused to reveal the name of the “scumbag.” The old man had cursed plenty in private, calling him a “bastard,” and said that if they found this damned man, they’d kill him.

But when they found out it was Jiang Yanting, he was naturally furious and felt chest pains.

Finding no outlet for his anger, he took it out on him, and Xie Duo had rebelled, “If you’re angry, go find the bastard who got my little aunt pregnant, why take it out on me!”

The old man huffed, “You think I’d let Jiang Yanting off the hook? I tell you, if he dares to come to our house, I’ll make sure he can’t leave.”

He spoke through clenched teeth as if he was ready to devour him.

Yet the moment Jiang Yanting arrived, he was holding his hand warmly, as if he was the real grandson, and Xie Duo was apparently the one picked off the streets.

With such double standards, what could Xie Duo say?

Does he really deserve to take the blame for nothing?

Jiang Yanting watched as Xie Duo bustled about, helping to carry things, and a slight smile played at the corners of his mouth.

“What’s up? You seem happy?” With the world so vast and so many men around, Xie Duo had only one nemesis, and he really couldn’t comprehend how Shen Zhixian ended up choosing him.

“No wonder Lord Fu of the Fu Family loves putting on airs as an elder. Having a junior of the same age must feel…” Jiang Yanting chuckled, “quite delightful.”

Xie Duo had a big grin on his face, but in his heart he thought: Why don’t you just ascend to heaven!
