Chapter 103: The Third Wave of Boss Gua’s Melon Field: Taking the Ball and Running

Chapter 103

As soon as Jiang Yun saw Nian Suian's enthusiastic expression, she knew she had found the right person.

"Just last year, a new neighbor moved in across from us - a woman with a 3 or 4-year-old girl. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but I have to say, the little girl is adorable. Every time she sees my Zhou Zhou, she calls him 'big brother' so sweetly." At this point, Jiang Yun sighed, "If Old Qu were at home, I'd definitely want to have another child - a girl this time."

"Mom, aren't you afraid you might have another boy?" Qu Zizhou and Gu Zhijing had somehow snuck up behind them.

"Get out of here!"

"We were just about to leave. We came to tell you that we're going to check in for the competition now!"

Jiang Yun was in the middle of her story and just waved them off, telling them to hurry along.

Nian Suian quickly said to Gu Zhijing, "I'll come over when your competition starts."

"Where were we?" Jiang Yun asked.

Nian Suian reminded her, "The little girl is very cute."

"Right! She's absolutely adorable! As time went on, I got to know them better. I noticed the mother would take the child to daycare during the day and pick her up after work. A few times when she had to work overtime unexpectedly, she had nowhere to leave the child, so she asked me to watch her for a few hours." Jiang Yun smiled and continued, "At first, she was really embarrassed about it, but I was actually quite happy. I'm usually alone at home, so having such a cute little girl to keep me company was a joy. As this happened more often, I asked her why she was raising the child alone. She said her parents had passed away, and her husband had died while she was pregnant. Oh, I felt terrible for bringing up such a sad topic! I told her that whenever work got busy, she could always bring Jiaojiao to me."

At this point, Nian Suian interjected, "So, you're saying that her story about her husband passing away was a lie? Or maybe the man who showed up later wasn't the child's father?"

"That man looks so much like Jiaojiao, there's no mistake. And also..." Jiang Yun lowered her voice, "Later, a middle-aged woman came to the door when Xiaxia wasn't home. That's the young woman's name, Xiaxia. Since Xiaxia wasn't there, she came to talk to me."

"To you? What for?"

"Suian..."

"Xiaxia's point is that she doesn't want any involvement with his family anymore. If they pay child support, wouldn't that keep them connected? I've been asking around, trying to find lawyer friends who can help. If you know anyone, please ask for advice too."

Nian Suian didn't actually know any lawyers, but Gu Junxing did. Since the other party was wealthy, they wouldn't hire just any lawyer. So if they were going to find help, it had to be someone formidable.

"I'll ask Gu Junxing later. He knows a lot of people."

Jiang Yun nodded. She didn't want Xiaxia and Jiaojiao to move away, and it would be even better if they could help them.

"I'll introduce you to them later. Jiaojiao is such a lovely child, we can't let that family take her away!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yun started to tease Nian Suian, "I'm too old now, but you're still young. Why don't you have a daughter? Then you'd have both a son and a daughter at a young age. Who wouldn't envy you?"

Nian Suian found it amusing, "I don't have the ability to just give birth to a girl on command."

"It's fine if it's another boy too. Having two brothers is nice as well."

"Yun-jie, are you from the family planning office or something?" Nian Suian had already made up her mind not to have children in this lifetime. Gu Zhijing had even said he'd take care of her in her old age even if they divorced. Besides, for now, she found Gu Junxing tolerable and had no plans for divorce.

However, if Gu Junxing still wanted to have children, she could only apologize. He'd have to divorce her and find someone else.

Even if Gu Zhijing didn't take care of her in her old age, it wouldn't matter. She had recently calculated her current savings and could consider herself a minor heiress.

Nian Suian didn't want to talk about having children anymore. Noticing the time, she stood up, pulling Jiang Yun with her. "Let's go. Zhijing's competition should be starting soon. What event is Zizhou in?"

"Zizhou is doing the long jump, right next to the high jump area."

"Perfect, let's go together." Nian Suian glanced around but didn't see Butler Su. She wondered if he had gone to the meeting with Gu Junxing or if he had gone to find Gu Zhijing.
