After Lu Boyan went out, only Su Jianâan, Luo Xiaoxi, and Mrs. Pang were left in the room.
Mrs. Pang called her son who was lying at the bedside of the baby. âTongtong?â
âHushââ Tongtong turned around and whispered to her mother, âLittle brother and sister are asleep. Donât disturb them.â
Mrs. Pang smiled and tried to scare her son. âYou lying there is the only move that would disturb your little brother and sister.â
âNo, no.â The little boy shook his head and waved his hand. He promised to Su Jianâan with a serious face, âAuntie Jianâan, I will be very careful. I wonât disturb little brother and sister! Can you let me watch them?â
âOkay.â Su Jianâan smiled gently. âYou can tell me when they wake up.â
Tongtong nodded solemnly as if he had accepted an important mission. âUncle Boyan told me about it!â
Hearing Tongtong call Lu Boyan so intimately, Mrs. Pang was a little curious. âTongtong, werenât you afraid of Uncle Boyan before?â
âOh.â Tongtong shook his head. âMom, I am not scared of him anymore!â
Mrs. Pang sighed from the bottom of her heart. âAfter being a father, Boyan is really different...â
Su Jianâan was even more curious than Mrs. Pang. âWhy would Tongtong be afraid of Boyan?â
Mrs. Pang smiled and said, âDuring the time you taught Tongtong English, Tongtong met Boyan many times. At that time, Boyan, you also knewâwas as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg. Even I was a little afraid of him, let alone a child. After Yuechuan scared Tongtong several times, he wouldnât dare to see Boyan.â
After a pause, Mrs. Pang continued, âBut when I came in just now, I happened to see Boyan holding Xiyu in his arms. If I hadnât seen it with my own eyes, I definitely wouldnât have imagined that he would be so gentle and careful. Look, even Tongtong isnât afraid of him anymore.â
Su Jianâan thought for a moment and said, âHe didnât have any contact with children before, so he doesnât know how to get along with children. Now that he has become a father himself, he knows that he should be gentle with children.â
Mrs. Pang nodded in agreement and said, âWhen you taught Tongtong English, Tongtongâs father told me that Boyan seemed to like you. So after you got married, when Tongtongâs father and I met you at a party, it didnât surprise me at all.â
When she recalled the time in college, Su Jianâan couldnât help laughing. âMy brother had just started his career at that time, and I really needed that part-time job. Sister Yang, I am grateful to you and Mr. Pang for taking care of me.â
Mrs. Pang waved her hand. âOn the surface, we were the ones taking care of you. In fact, Boyan arranged those things for you. So, Tongtongâs father and I have never believed the gossip between Boyan and Han Ruoxi!â
â...â Su Jianâan did not know what to say when Han Ruoxi was mentioned.
Mrs. Pang seemed to suddenly think of something. âBy the way, Jianâan, that thing... has no effect on you, right?â
Su Jianâan was a little confused. âWhat is it?â
âThat Han Ruoxi was released from prison!â After saying that, Mrs. Pang suddenly realized that something was wrong. She said apologetically, âDonât you know about it? Oh, Iâm really...â
Su Jianâan really didnât know that Han Ruoxi had been released from prison.
However, Lu Boyan must know about it, but he didnât tell her, which probably meant that he didnât want her to know.
Su Jianâan smiled as if nothing had happened. âSister Yang, I know about it.â
Mrs. Pang patted her chest with relief and said, âI thought I was wrong to tell you about it.â
âItâs nothing. I didnât react when you suddenly mentioned it,â Su Jianâan said flatly, âHan Ruoxi and I actually donât even know each other. For me, she is just a stranger whose name I barely know. Whether she is in prison or not, it has no effect on me.â
âI knew that because of your character, you would definitely say that!â Mrs. Pang changed the topic. âHowever, you are too low-key.â
This time, Su Jianâan was completely confused. âMrs. Pang, I really donât know what you are talking about this time...â
âItâs about your donation!â Mrs. Pang said with a smile, âYou actually kept a low profile after donating such a huge sum of money! If it werenât for the media, were you going to keep it a secret for the rest of your life?â
The donation was dug up by the media?
Su Jianâan asked Luo Xiaoxi to help her get the iPad. She tapped on the front page of a news website and saw the news mentioned by Mrs. Pang.
In the report, the reporter described that when she was five or six months pregnant, she donated a large sum of money to the remote region to support the local basic education.
Because of this news, the news that Han Ruoxi had been released from prison had caused much less attention, and the public opinion was also biased towards her. In addition, she gave birth to a pair of twins, so the remarks were full of blessings for her and her babies.
In contrast, Han Ruoxi was not only spurned, but even caused the anti-drugs netizens to start a topic called âHan Ruoxi was not worthy of forgivenessâ.
After this farce, Han Ruoxiâs already messy public image suddenly became worse.
Su Jianâan put down the iPad and looked at Luo Xiaoxi doubtfully. âNot many people know about my donation. If no one hints, it is impossible for the media to find out. Soâwho revealed it to the media?â
Luo Xiaoxi spread her hands. âWho else could it be except for Shen Yuechuan?â
Shen Yuechuan appeared careless on the surface, but he never did things that didnât have practical significance.
But Su Jianâan couldnât figure outâwhat was the practical significance of revealing her donation to the media?
Luo Xiaoxi, after all, was a member of the entertainment industry. With a little analysis, she understood Shen Yuechuanâs intention and said, âYuechuan wanted the media to help you guide the public opinion.â
Su Jianâan was even more confused. âWhy does he want to guide the public opinion?â
Luo Xiaoxi laughed with schadenfreude. âYou still donât know, do you? Han Ruoxi was released from prison yesterday, on the same day as Xiyu and Xiangyiâs birthday. Many people thought that this was an irony for Han Ruoxi.
âThis kind of coincidence comes once in a thousand years. So the media gets excited because they can write all kinds of stories. They can compare the fate of you and Han Ruoxi, analyze why Boss Lu chose you in the end... Itâs even possible that some media will mention Han Ruoxiâs achievements in acting, and feel pity for her.
âIn this way, public opinion wonât do you much good. And Han Ruoxi still has some fans, and they may reprimand you in a group. At that time, there will be two voices on the Internet, which will be more troublesome to deal with.
âBut the exposure of your donation has caused such a one-sided situationânot only is it not troublesome, but it doesnât need to be dealt with at all. Iâll give full marks for Shen Yuechuanâs move!â
Su Jianâan wanted to laugh. âIn fact, the money I donated... is mostly won...â
Luo Xiaoxi was stunned. âYou won? Iâve known you for more than ten years. How come I didnât know that you would gamble!â
âI didnât gamble with money.â Su Jianâan recalled. âIt should have been last summer. You, Yuechuan, Mu Qi, and my brother watched the football game at my house, and also gambled at the same time. Finally, Boyan won and Mu Qi gave me a check. I had nothing to do in the study some time ago and found that the check was still in the book. I thought it was useless, so I donated the money.â
Luo Xiaoxi felt as if she had swallowed a salted duck egg. â... So?â
âSo strictly speaking, the honor of fundraising should belong to Mu Qi.â Su Jianâan looked as if it had nothing to do with her.
The more Luo Xiaoxi thought about it, the more troublesome she felt. She waved her hand and said, âIn short, now the public opinion is beneficial to you, and there is no hope for Han RuoxiâI am very satisfied with this result!â
Before Su Jianâan could say anything, Aunt Liu came in with a thermal lunch box. She opened it with a smile and said, âThe chef personally went to the farm to pick up the chicken yesterday. He got up early in the morning to cook the soup. When I came out, the room was filled with the smell of chicken soup. Madam, please drink the soup while itâs still hot.â
Mrs. Pang saw this and got up while saying, âJianâan, you should eat first. Iâll go out and talk to Boyan and the others.â
Su Jianâan nodded. âOkay.â
Aunt Liu poured out the chicken soup, and the fragrance filled the whole room in an instant. Luo Xiaoxi took a deep breath and said, âMy God, I want to have some too...â
Aunt Liu smiled. âMs. Luo, Iâve prepared for your too!â
Luo Xiaoxiâs eyes lit up. âReally?â
âOld Madam specifically told me that you and Mr. Su are going to have a baby, and she thinks that you should get more nutrition too!â As she said this, Aunt Liu had already filled a bowl of chicken soup for Luo Xiaoxi. âYou must finish it. This is a token of Old Madamâs love!â
â...â Luo Xiaoxiâs mood was very complicated, but the taste of the chicken soup was really delicious. She couldnât resist this temptation even if she wanted to. So she decided not to think about anything else for the time being, but to finish this bowl of chicken soup first!
After having breakfast yesterday, Su Jianâan had only smelled the aroma of food until now. She had a big appetite and drank two bowls of soup in one breath.
As soon as she put down the bowl, Tongtong ran over excitedly. âAunt Jianâan, little brother, ah, no, maybe it was the little sister, anyway, one of them woke up!â
There was a cut on Su Jianâanâs lower abdomen, which made it inconvenient for her to move, so she could only let Luo Xiaoxi have a look.
Luo Xiaoxi went to the babiesâ bedside and found that it was Xiyu who was awake. She told Tongtong that the little boy was awake. Then she picked up Xiyu and teased, âLittle guy, did you smell the chicken soup?â
Lil Xi pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry. Luo Xiaoxi quickly coaxed him. âDonât cry, donât cry. Be good. Iâll take you to your mother!â
Su Jianâan looked at the time and thought that the little fellow should be hungry. So she asked Luo Xiaoxi to place him on the bed beside her and fed him breast milk.
Tongtong leaned over and leaned against the bed. âAuntie Jianâan, can I play with my little brother?â
âCan you wait for the little brother to grow up a little bit?â Su Jianâan smiled and gestured with her hand. âWhen the little brother grows up to be so tall, you can play with him. Now the little brother still doesnât understand what you said to him.â
âOkay!â Tongtong nodded obediently and imitated Su Jianâanâs gesture. âWhen the little brother grows up, I will protect him and the little sister!â
âGood boy.â Su Jianâan gently touched the little Tongtongâs head.
After feeding the breast milk to Xiyu, Su Jianâan found that the little fellow needed to change paper diapers. Luo Xiaoxi noticed her movements and knew that it was definitely inconvenient for her. She was about to call the nurse when she heard Su Jianâan say,
âXiaoxi, help me call Boyan back.â
âAh?â Luo Xiaoxi was stunned. âDidnât you want to change the diapers for the little guy? Ask your Boss Lu?â
Su Jianâan was used to it and said, âI called him because I need him to change the diapers.â
