Chapter 2138: Don't Think About Leaving Once You've Come

Qingkong, however, turned her eyes and said with a smile, "Why not tell me what wrong thing you actually did, and I'll help you think of a way to make up for it."

"It was that night..."

Jiang Mobai actually opened his mouth to speak.

But after saying only a few words, he stopped immediately.

Afterwards, Jiang Mobai waved his hand, his voice muffled: "Forget it, you have enough trouble of your own, solve your own problems first."

As the words fell, Jiang Mobai stopped pestering Qingkong.

He leaned on his crutch and left slowly.

Qingkong stared at Jiang Mobai's heavy back.

Then she murmured softly:

Did something that hurt Su Kexuan...

And is too ashamed to speak of it...

Hmm...

Qingkong felt she knew something!

In the morning, the Li Family servants prepared breakfast and went to call Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue.

The husband and wife walked out of the bedroom, chatting as they headed toward the dining room.

It was quite leisurely.

As it turned out, just as they reached the dining room, they saw Jiang Mobai already seated and eating ravenously.

Jiang Baobao sat down opposite him suspiciously and asked, "Are you that hungry?"

Jiang Mobai gave a vague "Mm."

After taking a sip of milk, Jiang Mobai said hypocritically, "I didn't wait for everyone, it was rude of me."

Li Beijue knew his son's character too well, so he tore down his facade directly: "Is there any shortage of rude things you've done?"

"That was before, isn't everything fine now?"

Hmm, that was actually the truth.

Since returning to the country this time, the child had indeed been much better behaved.

Realizing this, Li Beijue didn't lecture him further.

He prepared to eat first.

Li Beijue considerately handed his wife a piece of buttered bread.

When he went to take the second piece, he discovered that Jiang Mobai had taken the last piece of bread.

Li Beijue glared at Jiang Mobai with displeasure.

His face clearly wrote a jab: Useless at everything, number one at eating.

Jiang Baobao saw it, smiled, and then turned to ask the servant to bring some more bread.

Li Beijue asked Jiang Mobai with a bit of disdain: "You're so proactive about eating, why are you so sluggish when it comes to handling rumors and gossip?"

The Li Family knew that certain people had been jumping around recently, even attempting to slander the Li Family.

But they hadn't taken action.

Because the Li Family wanted to throw this matter to Jiang Mobai, letting him pass the time when he had nothing to do.

As it turned out, the time was passed.

But the matter hadn't been accomplished.

Facing his father's questioning, Jiang Mobai said, "It'll be done soon."

"Then do you need help?"

"No need, Wang Zi is helping me."

"Isn't he busy preparing for a competition? Don't delay his important business."

"I know, I won't take up too much of his time."

As the words fell, Jiang Mobai wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and said, "I'm heading out first."

Jiang Baobao was a bit surprised: "Leaving so early?"

"Mm."

"Then are you full?"

"Full, full."

"Then... Mobai, take it slow, don't fall!"

Jiang Baobao urged from behind, while Jiang Mobai waved his hand in front, his feet never stopping.

That hurried, flustered appearance made Jiang Baobao sigh helplessly.

Just then, Jiang Motian walked slowly downstairs.

She had stayed up late painting yesterday, so she had no energy when she got up this morning.

In a daze, she saw a figure rushing out.

Raising her hand to rub her eyes, Jiang Motian asked, "Mom, was that figure just now Mobai?"

"That's right."

"To be able to walk so fast, it seems that getting rid of the crutch is just around the corner."

Jiang Motian teased.

She heard her mother say in her ear: "Yes, it is indeed just around the corner!"

There was a hint of a smile in Jiang Baobao's voice.

It was just that smile...

Jiang Motian looked toward her mother.

She discovered that there was a deep meaning in her mother's gaze.

Jiang Motian thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Have your investigations yielded any results?"

Jiang Baobao had previously said that she wanted to investigate the past between Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan.

After saying that, she had not revealed any news to Jiang Motian.

Jiang Motian had been busy, too.

She had assumed that the small episode had passed once it was over.

But looking at it now...

Her mother had no intention of letting the matter pass!

Facing her daughter's expectant gaze, Jiang Baobao asked with a smile, "Want to know?"

"Of course."

"Oh my, what a pity. Mobai doesn't like others talking about his private affairs. If he finds out what I told you, he won't be happy."

Hmm...

Why did this sound so familiar?

Jiang Motian thought for a while before realizing, wasn't this the excuse she had used to put off her mother not long ago?

Now, her mother was returning those words to her...

It seemed the news her mother had dug up this time was quite substantial.

Jiang Motian speculated secretly in her heart.

Meanwhile, Li Beijue spoke up suspiciously: "What kind of riddle are you two mother and daughter playing?"

"It's nothing, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

After saying this, Jiang Motian lowered her head and sat down.

Seeing that her daughter did not want to talk, Li Beijue looked at his wife suspiciously again.

His wife just smiled at him, still with no intention of explaining.

From this, it was clear that these two intended to keep the secret to the end.

Li Beijue sighed helplessly.

But he did not continue to press the matter.

On the other side—

After leaving home, Jiang Mobai first met up with Wang Zi.

Then he arranged for him to do something for him.

As for Jiang Mobai, he went to a restaurant.

This restaurant had a very nice environment, antique and elegant.

At the entrance of each private room, lanterns of different shapes were hung.

Among the many lanterns, Jiang Mobai found a hexagonal one and then walked inside.

He was a person who loved liveliness.

Yet, sitting alone in the private room drinking tea at this moment, he actually did not feel bored.

Before long, through the crack of the door that wasn't fully closed, he heard people arriving next door.

About ten minutes later, the sound of high heels stepping on the floor rang out outside the door again.

Once the door closed, that sound disappeared.

Inside the room next door, Xiao Qian took off her sunglasses and sat opposite the old professor.

Then she asked listlessly, "I'm busy, why did Grandpa call me here?"

The old professor's face had originally been full of smiles.

Upon hearing this, his smile froze on his face.

His eyes darted around, and the old professor asked Xiao Qian, "Wasn't it you who asked me to come here?"

"How is that possible? I'm so busy with work. It was clearly Grandpa who entrusted someone to pass a message to me, that's why I came."

Upon hearing this, the old professor immediately stood up and said with a dark face, "Let's go!"

As his voice fell, two people entered the doorway.

It was none other than Jiang Mobai and Wang Zi!

If only Jiang Mobai had come alone, the old professor and Xiao Qian could have bullied him for his unhealed injuries and managed to leave.

But now...

Wang Zi closed the door and blocked the entrance; neither of these two would be able to leave!

Jiang Mobai sat down calmly, then looked up with a smile: "Since you two are already here, why not sit down and chat?"

The moment he saw Jiang Mobai, the old professor more or less understood something.

In a single breath, he thought of a countermeasure and spoke calmly: "I knew there would be a day I would meet you."

"Heh, the old gentleman is quite prescient."

"I also know that if you intend to use the prestige of the Li Family to make me change my testimony, I have no chance of resisting."
