Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

The lingering heat of midsummer, the remaining noise of autumn cicadas, the light of autumn days shines through the window, falling on Jiang Jinsang.

The autumn light rolls at the edge of his watch, yet the refracted light is not as piercing as the sharp glint in his eyes, his lips slightly curled, when he looks at you, it’s as if the entire world beneath his gaze contains only you.

If such an expression were one of love, you’d naturally feel like you own the entire world, but if his eyes were as cold as a frigid blade...

Indeed, the gaze is like a knife, capable of slicing the throat inch by inch.

Jiang Zhaolin felt as if something was blocking his throat, facing his ambitious nephew, suddenly there was a sense of decline and resignation to old age.

”Xiaowu—” His voice grew more weathered, his hands holding a cup, anxiously rubbing and warming them.

”I just want to see the child.”

”I know I did many wrong things all those years ago, but those are things of the past, you see, all these years, I haven’t disturbed you.”

”Shiyi’s child is my own granddaughter, even a venomous tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, how could I do anything to her? Especially in a place like this, you really are overthinking, actually I’ve been here several times, just at a distance, purely to watch them.”

Jiang Jinsang lowered his head with a smile, the saying about a tiger not eating its cubs coming from Jiang Zhaolin’s mouth always felt a bit off.

At this moment, his phone vibrated, Jiang Jinsang glanced at it.

”The child must still be waiting for you, if you have something to do, just go, don’t mind me, I really don’t have any ill intentions.”

Jiang Zhaolin naturally assumed it was Tang Wan sending a message to urge him.

”If you truly have no ill intentions, and are sincere about the Third Brother and Fourth Brother, you should understand, the best way is to stay away from their lives, stay away from their children.” Jiang Jinsang said bluntly.

Jiang Shiyi’s cleanliness and obsessive compulsiveness, Jiang Chengsi’s wild and unruly nature, are all marks left by their original family.

Some things really cannot be erased, especially since between them, a fresh life still stands.

To persuade someone to forgive and move forward, Jiang Jinsang cannot do it, if the knife hasn’t cut into you, you naturally don’t feel the pain.

Jiang Zhaolin wasn’t surprised to hear this, ”I just want to watch the child from afar...”

”Since it’s watching from afar, what does your behavior today mean?” Jiang Jinsang retorted, ”Today I happened to run into you, if it were the Third Brother, the Fourth Brother, likely you wouldn’t receive a friendly look like mine.”

”Xiaowu, I really don’t have malicious intent!” Jiang Zhaolin wanted to explain, ”I just want to see the child, then I won’t get close to them anymore.”

Jiang Jinsang gently rubbed the metal strap of his watch with his fingers, lowered his eyes to look at the phone again:

”Uncle, how about this, you just want to see the child right, I’ll go back and discuss with the Third Brother and Fourth Brother, if they agree, I’ll regularly send you some photos and videos of the child.”

”Consider it fulfilling your wish to see the child, without negating your heartfelt intentions.”

”What do you think of my proposal?”

An individual with a long history of issues, frequently appearing near the child is always a risk, Jiang Jinsang looked at him earnestly.

Jiang Zhaolin seemed surprised that he would propose such a plan, stunned for a long time.

He could only lament:

It is said he is astoundingly intelligent, this is indeed partially true.

Seeing him silent, Jiang Jinsang understood that his intentions in wanting to see the child were not pure.

”Uncle, the child is still downstairs waiting for me, let’s not beat around the bush, I know when Fourth Brother and Miss Si announced their relationship, you frequently met with my father, even saw Fourth Brother, and at that time opened a small factory with your scant savings.”

”You even wanted my dad to help you out at that time, didn’t you?”

”It seems your factory’s earnings haven’t been great these past two years.”

Jiang Zhaolin’s fingers suddenly tightened, veins on his forehead slightly protruding, his whole body tensed up.

”In the past, everyone might have thought, no matter what, you are the biological father of Fourth Brother, face would still be given, over these past two years in the business circle, Fourth Brother has made something of himself, naturally everyone is aware of how he feels about you.”
