It was Zou Bai. He carried Little Feather and walked in. Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.
Although they knew that the Zou family and the Jiang family were friends, Zou Bai’s cold and heartless personality had already been imprinted in their hearts. No one thought that he would attend such a lively banquet.
Moreover, he was carrying Jiang An’s child and looked very intimate. He probably often came to the Jiang family.
Li Mei quickly walked over and said, “I heard from your mother that you’ve been very busy recently. 1 didn’t expect you to have time to come over.”
“Auntie sent out an invitation, so of course I have to come. My mother also wanted to come, but she sprained her ankle when she went out. 1 can only come alone,” Zou Bai explained.
Little Feather squirmed in his arms excitedly. She opened her mouth and wanted to call him daddy, but when she thought of her mother’s previous instructions, she changed her words. “Uncle, 1 really miss you.”
Zou Bai smiled. “I miss you too.”
This intimate scene shocked everyone. They really could not believe their eyes. He had always had a cold face, but they did not expect there to be such a gentle moment.
A girl standing in the distance sighed. “He looks more like the children’s father.”
After saying this, the person beside her quickly covered her mouth. This was not something even Si Cheng could say casually. The consequences of making the Zou family unhappy were very serious.
However, Si Cheng was thinking the same thing at this moment. It was clearly his child, but she was in someone else’s arms. Moreover, the two of them looked more like biological father and daughter, while he looked like an outsider.
Jiang An held Jiang Yi’s hand and walked over. She turned to Si Cheng and said, “There are many people around Little Feather and Little Wingsy who love them. My brothers, their grandparents, and even the uncles around them will give them a lot of love. Your good side is really invisible.”
According to Si Cheng’s usual temper, he would definitely turn around and leave. Since the other party had already said this, there was no need for him to stay and let the other party humiliate him.
However, when he looked up, he saw Si Qin and Si Lin not far away. The two of them were staring at him, waiting to pull him down from the position of heir if he couldn’t do anything.
At the thought of this, Si Cheng had to endure it no matter what. No matter how much the Jiang family disliked him now, as long as he could get Jiang An to remarry him, they would still help him in the future.
Moreover, the Paravi family was urging him to quickly register his remarriage with Jiang An.
Although he couldn’t understand why the Paravi family was keeping an eye on this matter, he could suppress Si Qin and Si Lin now because of them. No matter what, he had to be obedient.
“An’an.” Si Cheng made up his mind and immediately knelt down. “I beg you. As long as you’re willing to let me make it up to you and the children, I’m willing to do anything.”
Even Li Mei did not expect Si Cheng to kneel on the spot. This was simply forcing An’an.
Seeing him like this, some girls’ hearts softened. They said, “Why don’t we give him a chance? Look at how pitiful he is.”
“That’s right. If a man is willing to kneel, it shows how much he loves you,” a girl in a red dress said.
From the way she spoke, it was obvious that she was not the daughter of a small family. She only dared to say this because she came from a good family.
Before Jiang Yan could retort, Jiang An looked at her and laughed.
The girl in the red dress was a little puzzled. “What are you laughing at?”
“Perhaps in your eyes, it’s a very serious matter for a man to kneel, but it doesn’t mean anything to me,” Jiang An said. “He only knelt. He didn’t lose anything substantial. Moreover, from your words just now, he didn’t even lose his dignity.”
“When I gave birth back then, he didn’t care. After giving birth, if my mother hadn’t come to find me, I’m afraid no one would have known that I died in the Si family. I won’t be able to forget the pain in my body and mind for the rest of my life. Now, this gentle kneeling can’t offset it at all.”
For Jiang An to be able to live in the Tan family for so long, she had never been a gullible person. The first thing she learned was to observe people’s expressions. She tried her best to grow up and leave the Tan family as soon as possible.
Therefore, she placed a lot of importance on gains and losses because there were too few things she could lose. Almost everything she had was very important and was closely related to her future life.
Compared to those things, Si Cheng’s kneeling was worthless.
Si Cheng did not expect Jiang An to think this way. In his opinion, he had already lowered his head. Even if Jiang An hated him, she should have vented her anger. However, she actually treated it as a joke..
