Xiao Yu nodded. “When I heard about what happened from one of the senior staff members from the family house, I was frightened as well. Madam, it seems like you have fate with the Little Master…”
“You have a point. I didn’t like children very much in the past. However, after the baby was born, I really changed my mind,” Liang Zhou said. Her expression turned sunny as she continued to say, “You have no idea how cute he is now. He can already recognize the adults around him. He’s very good at making the Old Madam happy as well, and he likes playing with Sister Yu and A Nuan. He’s very clever and mischievous. He knows A Nuan’s the youngest so he often teases her. The Old Madam said he’s just as mischievous as the Young Master when the Young Master was young.”
Mu Qing was surprised and pleased by Liang Zhou’s performance so he stayed at the hospital to accompany her.
…
Jiang Jin did not invite too many people to the party. The reason for the party was only to thank some of the guests for showing support to Zhuang Ji.
Gao Wen was naturally not qualified to attend the party. She had spoken to Liang Zhou if she could come, but Liang Zhou did not dare to make the decision and only agreed to help her think of a way.
Gao Wen was surprised when she finally received an invitation. She did not expect Liang Zhou would be successful in helping her. She could not help but feel lucky that she had a friend like Liang Zhou.
It was unfortunate that Liang Zhou was not present at the party. She had found out from a helper that Liang Zhou was in the hospital, recovering from an injury. However, she thought it was better this way. Without Liang Zhou, it was more convenient for her to act. Otherwise, she would have to consider Liang Zhou.
…
After Liang Zhou disconnected the call, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
‘This is great! This injury really came at the right time! There’s no need for me to suffer the embarrassment of being with Gao Wen. The baby is really my lucky star!’
…
Gao Wen exchanged pleasantries with the various guests as she kept a lookout for Ye Xin. However, even after half a day had passed, she still did not see Ye Xin. She could not help but feel that something was amiss. Logically speaking, the Young Madam of the Mu family should be by Jiang Jin’s side during such an event.
At this moment, someone asked, “Why haven’t we seen your precious great-grandson?”
Jiang Jin beamed upon hearing these words. Jiang Jin said happily, “His father brought him out to play. He’s growing up so fast. Boys like playing with boys. Although his father doesn’t spend too much time with him, his favorite person is still his father.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Wen assumed that Ye Xin must have gone out with Mu Chen and the baby. She thought that her daughter was too willful. How could she not stay home and help out and go out to play instead? With this, she was even more convinced Song Ning was Ye Xin. After all, this was in line with Ye Xin’s character.
While no one was paying attention to her, Gao Wen quietly excused herself to go to the bathroom. She asked the helper who was leading her, “Did the Young Madam go out with the Young Master?”
The helper seemed taken aback by the question. When she regained her senses, she evaded the question and swiftly changed the topic. “Our Young Master really loves the baby. Now that the baby has grown older and knows how to play, the Young Master is even more smitten with the baby.”
Gao Wen felt the helper’s reaction was strange, but she did not ask any further. After all, it was someone else’s family affairs.
At this moment, someone called out to the helper. She said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Madam. My younger sister isn’t feeling well today so I have to go and have a look at her. If you have any other requests, you can look for me. Please make yourself at home.”
“Alright, alright. Don’t worry,” Gao Wen hastily said.
With that, the helper hurried away.
