Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 334: Human or Ghost_1

Nothing in this world comes without a price, especially the pies that fall from the sky; the tastier they are, the higher the price.

Even if you don’t plan to eat the pie, so long as you don’t throw it away immediately, the cost is continuous.

What Xiao Ming regretted most was that he couldn’t stick to his own callousness.

In the beginning, he could sternly demand absolute obedience from Yun Shi Yu and Yang Hanqing.

But as their relationships got better and feelings deepened, along with a few tears, he suddenly realized that he had unconsciously become accustomed to indulgence and compromise.

Jia Baoyu said women are made of water, and this is undoubtedly true.

Because their tender attacks are like water eroding stone— one moment you laugh at them for overestimating themselves, and the next, you find you can’t even run away.

Heaven help me, though Xiao Ming never planned to be a good man in this life, he earnestly wanted to be a good husband.

He came home at noon, and his father-in-law Jiang Yonghan and brother-in-law Jiang Lei were also there.

Regarding Xiao Ming being in a wheelchair, Jiang Xue naturally didn’t mention anything about killers and kidnappings, only that there was a minor accident. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"I’m sorry, Dad, for being away so long, and that I can’t even have a good drink with you when I come back.

By the way, I brought you a set of Kung Fu tea set from Lingnan, along with some fine tea. Try it and see if it suits your taste. If you like it, I can have my friend send more over."

During the meal, Xiao Ming dutifully played his role as a son-in-law.

Not knowing if it was his yearning for a grandson driving him crazy, Jiang Yonghan didn’t care about Xiao Zhimeng’s identity at all; he clearly adored him, serving him various dishes with a doting smile.

"I’m hardly a tea connoisseur, I just drink it without much thought, no need to go through the trouble.

As long as you two are doing well, and Xue gives me another big fat grandson, that means more to me than any tea."

Xiao Ming looked at his wife beside him and nodded with a smile, "Rest assured, I can’t promise about the grandson just yet, but Xue’er and I will certainly be fine. Even if she were to domestically abuse me every day, I would never let go!"

"Stop talking nonsense! When have I ever abused you?"

Xiao Ming pointed at the chopsticks she had turned around, seemingly ready to hit him, "It looks pretty similar right now."

Jiang Xue couldn’t help but laugh and cry, and across the table, Jiang Lei chuckled, "Sister and brother-in-law have such a great relationship!"

"Right!"

Xiao Ming served a rib into Jiang Xue’s bowl, "A peaceful home leads to prosperity. I was able to earn money to buy such a big house because I have your sister, a virtuous woman, supporting me from behind.

Speaking of which, your injury has healed long ago. If you still want to learn about business, come to the company after New Year’s Day and start by following Lan for a while."

"Is that really okay?" Jiang Xue said. "You only have Lan as an assistant by your side, with all the work requiring her attention. It’d be too much of a hassle to take care of Lei as well."

"No problem at all," Gu Tinglan hurriedly said. "The work of a secretary is busy but doesn’t involve too difficult professional aspects.

Moreover, the boss just said that Mr. Jiang wants to learn about business.

I think his intention is probably for Mr. Jiang to familiarize himself with the company’s management and operations from the perspective of the chairman’s office, not really to train Mr. Jiang as a secretary.

So, I just need to take him along; there’s no need for special instruction.

What’s more, having him around can help me with some manual tasks, Xue, you don’t have to worry."

"Not bad at all," Xiao Ming nodded repeatedly, "Being able to discern the boss’s thoughts so clearly shows that you truly are a very professional and qualified secretary."

Gu Tinglan smiled, "This is my strong suit, so I won’t be modest with the boss."

"My mom is the best!"

Xiao Zhimeng suddenly declared in a loud voice with his little greasy mouth, making everyone burst into laughter.

"Since that’s settled, I won’t stand on ceremony with Lan." After laughing, Jiang Xue said, "And don’t call my brother Mr. Jiang anymore. Treat him as a little apprentice or as a handyman, use him however you like."

"If he doesn’t behave, you just tell Xiao Ming and me, we..."

"How dare he!" Jiang Yonghan exclaimed fiercely, "With such a good opportunity, if that punk doesn’t take it seriously, I’ll break his legs!"

After the meal, Jiang Yonghan drove to work. Jiang Lei went with Gu Tinglan to get acquainted with the company environment, while Xiao Ming spent some time talking with Jiang Xue, until Mingyue’s call came.

"Where’s Qing? Give her back to me!" The girl reached out her hand as soon as they met, as if demanding a debt.

"Here, here, don’t be so petty," Xiao Ming replied.

He took out the green snake and the glass bottle and handed them to her. "You don’t know, my daughter really likes Qing. She was almost crying when I went downstairs just now."

Mingyue pursed her lips, "Then... then I’ll give her an egg later."

Indeed, she was still the same tender-hearted girl from his memories.

Xiao Ming smiled and got into the car, "Forget it! Snakes are not suitable as pets, and we’re planning to get a cat at home later on. Another death on our hands would be too much trouble."

Mingyue didn’t insist. She folded his wheelchair and placed it in the trunk before driving away from Kanjiang No. 1.

"By the way, tell me about Qingfeng’s injury," Xiao Ming added.

Mingyue glanced at the rearview mirror, "Don’t you know a lot about us? Why not try guessing?"

Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows. I only know your past and future, I’m not a fortune-teller, how could I... Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "He didn’t find his family, did he?"

Mingyue’s eyes widened in shock, "You... What are you, human or ghost?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, filled with confusion inside.

In his previous life, Qingfeng had also found his long-lost family, but that happened five years later. Why was it happening so much earlier this time?

Could it be his own "butterfly wings" that had caused this change?

"I’m just speculating," he said. "With Qingfeng’s skills, he should be able to escape from danger if not fight it off. The one who could successfully hurt him must either be a top expert like my Li and Bing, or someone who made him let his guard down.

If it was the former, then that old man’s staying in prison would be utterly pointless.

And for the latter, apart from the old man, only you and the family he yearns for could do that.

You definitely wouldn’t hurt him, so the answer is quite obvious."

Mingyue evidently breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she was still a girl. Even if she was unusual, she would be afraid of mysterious and unknown things.

"Qingfeng discovered a woman on the plane back from Lingnan who felt very familiar to him.

He secretly followed her for a while, even collected her blood for a paternity test, and eventually confirmed that she was his mother.

Excited, he took the test results to acknowledge her, but instead, he got severely scolded and was thrown out.

It just so happened that he encountered his mother’s new partner at the door.

Unexpectedly, the man was quite open-minded. After confirming the test results, he allowed them mother and son to recognize each other.

During those days, Qingfeng could barely hide his joy even when calling me. I was very happy for him too.

But not long after, he came back covered in injuries and became extremely listless. He wouldn’t say why, and I was so anxious I wanted my pet to bite him to death!

If you can get him to talk about what’s weighing on his heart, I... I will do three favors for you for free."

Xiao Ming’s eyes were filled with coldness, "No need, I can pretty much guess what he experienced."
