Chapter 266 Bai Jinyu Returns to China

After entering September, there is another big and small thing happening: Xiaoshang is almost one year old!
He was born in early autumn, when the weather was mild and the perfect time to go out and play.

September 12th was a weekend, so the family decided to entertain guests at home the day before and take the child to his favorite aquarium to celebrate the next day.

However, there was a small incident in the early stage.

Bai Jinyu returned from Zurich on the 9th.

Even Shang Jianghan was informed of this news at the last minute.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Shen Chaoxi was in class when she received a message from Shang Jianghan. It only contained a few short words, asking her to have dinner at Shang's villa after school.

It's not the weekend, and it's almost the little one's birthday. When I went home today, I felt something strange.

Facts have proved that when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!

Shen Chaoxi drove to Songjiangyuan Villa District by himself and called Shujingshijia on the way because there were two elementary school students doing homework at home in the evening.

As a result, the aunt at home informed us that the two little ones did not come tonight, saying that they went to their grandfather's house for dinner, and the master came back specially in the afternoon to take the little master away.

Shen Chaoxi hung up the phone, muttering to himself, the old man has been in good health recently, and the business property has been clearly divided, so what big thing could happen?
With doubts, Shen Chaoxi drove into the villa, and before getting out of the car, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

At this time, Bai Jinyu was in the pavilion, with Shang Qichao and Shang Zhuoming in his arms.

Bai Jinyu held the little guy's hand with one hand, with a kind look on her face, and spoke in a low voice. It was a very harmonious picture.

After not seeing each other for two years, Bai Jinyu's appearance has changed a lot. The image of an elegant lady that she always maintained has been somewhat discounted.

The grace that a woman in her fifties should have and the traces of time on her face seem to have quietly arrived in the past two years.

Shen Chaoxi stepped onto the steps of the pavilion. The little guy nestled in his grandfather's arms saw his mother first. He shook off the strange grandmother's hand and shouted happily.

"Mama!"

Nowadays, the three terms "dad", "mom" and "grandpa" are all easy to say.

Shen Chaoxi picked up the little guy, and immediately felt a heavy burden on his arms, which were twisting dishonestly.

"Coming?" Shang Qichao's face was calm, but upon closer inspection there was a hint of unnaturalness.

"Yeah." Shen Chaoxi lowered his eyes.

There was a moment of stagnation in the air.

Shen Chaoxi thought of how Shang Jianghan's brows were almost always furrowed when the topic of Bai Jinyu was occasionally brought up.

She didn't know the reason.

Shang Qichao quickly interrupted the peace and started praising the child.

"Our little Mingming is really smart. She knows who this is."

Shang Qichao pointed at Bai Jinyu, and Shen Chaoxi shifted his gaze to her.

As the junior, I have to speak first.

The little guy buried his head in his mother's arms, feeling shy, and secretly looked up at the stranger.

"When did you arrive?" Shen Chaoxi asked in a calm tone.

Bai Jinyu was slightly stunned, and then realized that these words were directed at her, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

Shang Jianghan inherited half of his expression from this person. This expression gave Shen Chaoxi a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for several years, but the other person had never given her this feeling.

"I got off the plane early in the morning and didn't tell you in advance. Jiang Han was angry, but he didn't stop me from seeing the child." Bai Jinyu spoke slowly and in a gentle tone, as if he had become a different person.

"I have seen the child and will go back tomorrow. I will not cause any trouble in front of you."

Would Bai Jinyu say something that would upset others?

Shen Chaoxi couldn't tell whether the person opposite him was insincere or had really changed for the better. In any case, he seemed both familiar and strange.

When the villain suddenly gets a script for a counterattack, it always takes some time for people to adapt.

At this time, Shang Jianghan walked over and he was coming from the direction of the villa gate.

"Where are you from?" Shen Chaoxi asked.

Shang Jianghan walked closer and pinched the little guy's chubby face with one hand. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his fingers brushed across Shen Chaoxi's neck and stayed there for a moment. "I went back to the group and just got off work."

This little action was so secretive that no one noticed.

In front of "outsiders", the little guy was as shy as a little girl and kept clinging to his mother's neck.

"Big brother and second brother are coming soon, let's go pick them up."

Shang Jianghan's words successfully rescued Shen Chaoxi from an awkward period.

She patted the little guy on the back.

"Can you play here with grandpa?"

The little guy understood what was said, twisted his little butt, and actually said the word "no" from his mouth.

The pronunciation is quite accurate.

Shang Qichao was amused.

After the two adults each held a little hand and walked away with the little guy's steps, Bai Jinyu sighed.

"He still doesn't want to see me?"

He was referring to his son.

Shang Qichao smiled faintly and looked towards the setting sun.

"If they didn't want you to come back, how did you get the documents?"

Shang Jianghan has always kept Bai Jinyu's personal freedom in his own hands, and even Shang Qichao can't interfere.

There were no less than ten people following Bai Jinyu, all of them were Shang Jianghan's men.

Her every move had been reported by someone.

"You wanted to come back many times. This time you made a good excuse. He didn't stop you. After all, the child is your grandson. When the child grows up and asks about his grandmother, at least he knows that she is ill and is being treated abroad. But he came back to see her on his birthday."

"Stop talking!" Bai Jinyu covered her mouth with one hand and tears fell.

Shang Qichao was quite moved. He stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put it on Bai Jinyu's shoulder.

"Get good treatment." Just four words of comfort.

Bai Jinyu looked up at him. Her husband seemed like a strange and unusual existence in her life.

"Qichao, is that true? They..."

Shang Qichao didn't give Bai Jinyu a chance to continue, interrupting, "You don't need to know about this. Jiang Han did everything based on your condition. As long as you can stay stable for a while, many answers will come out. Why bother to dwell on this matter now?"

The dinner was inevitably awkward at the beginning, but later Bai Jinyu took the initiative to talk to everyone and asked about the children's studies. With topics to talk about, the atmosphere became better.

At night, Shang Jianghan's family stayed overnight. After seeing off the eldest and second brothers' families, Shen Chaoxi took the child to the bedroom to wash up.

By the time Shang Zhuoming fell asleep, Shang Jianghan still hadn't come back.

Shen Chaoxi dimmed the bedside lamp and walked out wearing pajamas and a coat.

Diagonally opposite is the study, the door of which is ajar and light is shining from inside.

Shang Jianghan's fluent F language could be heard from time to time.

Recently, the group’s foreign affairs department had a cooperation project. Considering the local time, most of the communication matters took place in the evening.

Just as Shen Chaoxi was about to go back to his room, he heard some noise on the second floor.

Bai Jinyu walked down the stairs wrapped in a dark red pajama robe.

"If you don't want to sleep, let's talk."

Bai Jinyu extended an invitation to Shen Chaoxi.

His thoughts went back to the scene in the hospital six years ago. It was a rainy night and the two of them were talking. The scene was filled with fear and Shen Chaoxi still had lingering fears.

The next chapter will be later.
