Chapter 156: Not Her Sixteen Years Ago

Jiang Baobao sat outside with the two little ones for a while, and feeling the wind grow a bit chilly, she finally brought them both back into the living room.

But the moment they stepped inside, she heard Qin Wanqing saying to Li Beijue: "You two have been separated for so many years, and Miss Jiang has only just returned; isn't it a bit too hasty to decide to be together so soon? If the two of you were truly compatible, you wouldn't have separated in the past. Your father still has a few fine young ladies from prominent families in mind..."

Qin Wanqing was halfway through her sentence when she saw Jiang Baobao walk in from outside, and her expression instantly became somewhat awkward.

Jiang Baobao, however, just smiled indifferently, sat down on the sofa, and acted as if she had heard nothing.

So they want to introduce other women to Li Beijue?

That's perfect; it saves her from always being misunderstood as having something going on with him!

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she suddenly heard Li Laoyezi speak up with dissatisfaction: "Jiang girl and Beijue have two children; of course they should remarry as soon as possible! Wanqing, what kind of talk is that!"

Seeing that Li Laoyezi was displeased, Qin Wanqing hurriedly lowered her head and said nothing more.

Li Laoyezi also hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said to Jiang Baobao: "Jiang girl, don't take what was just said to heart. There's no rush regarding you and Beijue; take your time."

Jiang Baobao hadn't expected the topic to still be ongoing, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say, so she could only smile.

The two little ones beside her, however, couldn't sit still.

Mobai had never liked Qin Wanqing to begin with, and hearing her mention other young ladies from prominent families just now, he immediately said with dissatisfaction: "My Mommy is the best in the whole world! No auntie can compare to her!"

"That's right!" Yanbao chimed in to agree.

Jiang Baobao felt even more awkward.

Could these two little ancestors stop adding to the chaos!

There's no need to take her side like this at a time like this, okay!

She was complaining loudly in her heart when, the next second, she suddenly felt two gazes land on her.

"I have no interest in young ladies from prominent families," Li Beijue said calmly, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Baobao.

The meaning he wanted to convey couldn't have been more obvious.

Jiang Baobao instantly got goosebumps.

She didn't care who Li Beijue was interested in, but why did he have to look at her when he said that!

Jiang Baobao felt inexplicably annoyed, but unable to say anything, she could only look up at the wall clock not far away, wondering when she could go home.

Li Laoyezi took in both of their expressions and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems this matter cannot be rushed for now... Let the two of them develop slowly; after reconciling this time, they won't just separate as easily as before!

Qin Wanqing sat to one side, her eyes sweeping between Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue without a trace, a flicker of gloom flashing in the depths of her eyes.

If the two of them really reconciled quickly, and now with two sons, the power in Li Beijue's hands would be even greater!

Beichen still can't get into the Li Corporation...

Qin Wanqing felt anxious, but she knew she couldn't say anything more tonight.

After staying a while longer, Li Beijue checked the time and planned to leave.

Li Laoyezi was a bit reluctant to part with the two little ones and asked them to stay: "Why don't you just stay here tonight! I'll have someone prepare rooms for you."

Jiang Baobao was startled and instinctively looked at Li Beijue.

She couldn't stay here tonight!

Tiantian was still home alone!

Just as Jiang Baobao was struggling, she heard Li Beijue refuse: "I have a meeting to attend early tomorrow morning, so it's probably not convenient to stay here today. I'll bring Yanbao and Mobai back to see Grandpa another day."

Upon hearing this, Li Laoyezi could only sigh, but he didn't force them to stay and personally saw them to the door.

Jiang Baobao stood at the entrance and instinctively scanned the area.

But she didn't see Li Beichen.

Did that guy go back to his room to rest?

A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes, but she couldn't be bothered to dwell on it.

After Jiang Baobao said goodbye to Li Laoyezi, she and Li Beijue each carried a little one and walked toward where the car was parked.

The black car soon disappeared into the night.

Outside the large iron gate of the Li Corporation villa, a figure stood under a tree, looking at Li Beijue's car as it drove further and further away with a gloomy expression.

It was Li Beichen.

He still wore a look of intoxication, and thinking of the scene of the family of four getting into the car just now, he spat on the ground with disdain.

"Pah, what's so great about them?"

Li Beichen let out a cold snort, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

One day, he would snatch everything Li Beijue had!

Whether it was the Li Corporation or that woman Jiang Baobao, they would all be his, Li Beichen's!

In the car.

Jiang Baobao's nerves, which had been taut all day, finally relaxed completely.

Yet her eyes couldn't help but keep glancing at Li Beijue, who was driving in front, thinking about what happened today.

Why on earth did Li Beijue look at her while rejecting others today?

Wasn't it obvious that it would make people misunderstand?

But fortunately, Li Laoyezi shouldn't be holding any more family banquets in the short term... who knows what the situation will be later.

For now, she could only take things one step at a time...

Jiang Baobao pondered in her heart, lost in thought the whole way.

When she finally came to her senses, she realized the villa had already appeared before her eyes.

"Mommy, we're home. Are you tired? Hurry up and go upstairs to rest!"

Yanbao pulled Jiang Baobao's hand as they got out of the car, his little face showing concern as he thought about how she hadn't said much the whole way.

Jiang Baobao nodded subconsciously, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone standing at the entrance of the villa.

She immediately looked up, and upon seeing clearly who was waiting outside, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Assistant Chen? Why have you come so late?"

Jiang Baobao asked, puzzled.

Assistant Chen hurriedly replied, "Miss Jiang, I have some urgent work to discuss with President Li."

Jiang Baobao nodded in sudden realization.

Thinking that the two of them must have some important business, she tactfully took the two little ones into the villa first.

Outside the door, seeing that Jiang Baobao had walked away, Assistant Chen then went to the front of Li Beijue's car.

"President Li, it has been found."

Assistant Chen bowed slightly, lowered his voice extremely low, and continued to whisper, "Miss Jiang graduated from a third-rate vocational high school. That school is truly too mixed with all kinds of people, and even the files are not very complete, so it took a little time. As for the Huating Sili Xueyuan you previously attended, there are no file records regarding Miss Jiang there."

"Can you be sure?" Li Beijue's brows knitted together sharply.

"I can be sure; Miss Jiang should not be the person you are looking for."

Assistant Chen answered firmly.

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he did not speak; a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, and a trace of disappointment, which even he himself had not noticed, flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It really wasn't her after all...
