Chapter 133: Jiang Baobao Is the Person You Are Looking For

Li Beijue returned to his study in a fit of rage, but he no longer had the slightest inclination to work; he simply sat behind his desk with a fierce expression, his heart in turmoil.

He regretted it.

He regretted why he had brought Jiang Baobao back.

Letting a woman like that take care of Mobai and Yanbao would lead to trouble sooner or later!

A dark glint flashed in Li Beijue's eyes as he reached out to pick up his phone, the thought of driving Jiang Baobao away stirring once more.

Yet, he delayed in making the call.

If he let her leave, there was no telling what Mobai and Yanbao might do...

Li Beijue's expression was hesitant; he was rarely so indecisive.

Just then—

The phone in his hand suddenly rang.

Li Beijue snapped back to his senses, saw that it was a call from Assistant Chen, and answered it casually.

Assistant Chen got straight to the point as soon as he spoke: "Apologies, President Li, for disturbing your rest. I have just obtained the information on Xia Xuerou and have brought it to you; I am currently outside the villa gate."

"Mm, wait for me downstairs."

Li Beijue's eyes lit up; he stood up immediately and strode out of the study.

The villa door opened, and Assistant Chen immediately handed over the documents in his hand.

Li Beijue wanted to open them right away.

Assistant Chen hurriedly reminded him: "President Li, these documents... you had better return to the study to read them."

Li Beijue's movements paused slightly; he nodded and turned to walk upstairs.

The two of them entered the study together, and no sooner had they closed the door than Li Beijue immediately tore open the envelope.

Then, he heard Assistant Chen report: "Xia Xuerou did indeed pass away many years ago, but... the information shows that she is Miss Jiang's biological mother."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue's pupils contracted sharply; he happened to see that the documents in his hand also stated that Xia Xuerou and Jiang Baobao were mother and daughter.

Li Beijue stared at the documents in his hand, his fingers unconsciously tightening slightly.

Xia Xuerou... Jiang Baobao...

No wonder he had felt the name Xia Xuerou sounded so familiar before!

So she was Jiang Baobao's mother!

It seemed quite normal that Xia Xuerou's necklace had been given to Jiang Baobao...

And Jiang Baobao's age seemed to match the little girl from sixteen years ago perfectly...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and the image of Tiantian's little face suddenly surfaced in his mind.

That little girl really did look exactly like the girl from back then, and also exactly like the current Jiang Baobao...

Could Jiang Baobao be the little girl who saved him all those years ago?

Li Beijue felt a sense of complexity in his heart, his eyes filled with a trace of hesitation.

But...

He had had people investigate her before, and the information on Jiang Baobao showed that she had never attended that school at all!

It couldn't be her...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment; for a time, he could not make up his mind. This matter was of vital importance to him, and there could not be the slightest error!

Li Beijue pondered for two seconds before saying in a low voice: "Re-investigate all of Jiang Baobao's information. I can give you time, but there cannot be a single mistake!"

"Yes." Assistant Chen agreed quickly and turned to leave.

The study returned to silence.

Li Beijue sat before his desk, looking at the pitch-black night outside the window, remaining motionless for a long time, the smiling face of Tiantian involuntarily surfacing in his mind.

That little girl looked so much like Jiang Baobao...

Was the girl from back then really Jiang Baobao...

Could the little girl from back then actually be Jiang Baobao???

The next day—

Jiang Baobao got up early and went to the kitchen, intending to make breakfast for the three little ones.

She declined Zheng Bo's kind offer to have others help, focusing on preparing the rice balls the little ones liked all by herself in the kitchen.

Li Beijue walked in holding a coffee cup and saw that she was the only one busy in the kitchen.

His footsteps faltered, and he stopped at the doorway subconsciously without entering, his gaze falling slowly onto Jiang Baobao, then moving slowly up to her face.

Jiang Baobao was looking down, carefully trying to cut the vegetables into attractive shapes.

Li Beijue's gaze swept across her brows and eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart again.

Is it really her?

If her identity were truly confirmed...

As Li Beijue thought this, his brow couldn't help but furrow, and he lost his grip on the coffee cup, accidentally bumping it against the door frame.

The next second—

The kitchen knife in Jiang Baobao's hand also fell onto the cutting board with a "clatter."

"Li Beijue! Do you not make any sound when you walk?"

Jiang Baobao gripped her left index finger tightly with her right hand, watching as bright red blood began to ooze out, and glared at Li Beijue irritably.

What kind of fit was this guy throwing again early in the morning!

Was scaring people fun?

If he hadn't suddenly made a sound while standing at the door, she wouldn't have cut her hand!

Jiang Baobao complained in her heart, quickly turning around to turn on the faucet and rinse her injured finger.

Li Beijue's brow twitched; without a word, he set down his cup and turned to leave.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, almost laughing out of anger.

He left without a sound after scaring someone?

Was there not even an apology?

Jiang Baobao's good mood from the morning was significantly ruined; seeing that the wound had stopped bleeding, she picked up the kitchen knife again, intending to continue cooking.

Unexpectedly, before she could even move, she saw Li Beijue turn back.

Li Beijue took two steps to stand in front of Jiang Baobao and said in a low voice, "Your hand."

"Huh?" Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, instinctively raising her injured finger to look at it.

Immediately after, a bandage was suddenly placed over the spot she had accidentally cut just moments ago.

Jiang Baobao was completely dumbfounded, instinctively wanting to pull her finger back.

She had only just moved when her wrist was grabbed by someone.

"Don't move." Li Beijue's tone seemed somewhat dissatisfied, and his brows were slightly furrowed, but the movements of his hands were exceptionally gentle; he wrapped the bandage quickly without causing Jiang Baobao any pain at all.

Jiang Baobao stared with wide, incredulous eyes at her own finger, her brain having completely stopped functioning.

This... what kind of situation is this?

Li Beijue actually applied a bandage to her himself?

Could he have been swapped with someone else?

Jiang Baobao looked dazed and instinctively asked, "Are... are you really Li Beijue?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Baobao wished she could bite off her own tongue immediately.

What a stupid question she had asked!

How could there possibly be a second Li Beijue in this world!

Li Beijue was also taken aback by her question.

Then, too lazy to even speak, he simply shot Jiang Baobao a look as if she were an idiot, poured another cup of coffee, and turned to leave.

Jiang Baobao looked at the bandage on her hand, then at the man's retreating back, feeling completely bewildered.

So it really wasn't a dream...

Perhaps... Li Beijue was afraid that she would tell Yanbao and Mobai that he was the one who caused her to cut her hand?

Jiang Baobao thought this over and nodded affirmatively.

Right!

It must be that!

There couldn't be a more reasonable explanation than this!

Outside the kitchen, Li Beijue sat at the dining table, and thinking of the dazed look on Jiang Baobao's face just now, he suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

Was it an illusion?

Why did he feel that her expression just now was a bit like that silly girl from sixteen years ago?
