Chapter 2203: Please Do Me a Favor

"Of course, why, are you planning to give it to someone?"

"Ah, no, no, I want to wear it myself!"

Li Moning waved her hands, denying it firmly.

Worried that Wei Yangyang wouldn't believe her, she added, "It's easy to run into the same style if you buy it; making it yourself is more unique!"

Wei Yangyang didn't suspect anything.

She looked at the half-finished little hat in her hands and murmured, "You're wearing it? Then we need to change the color; the one I'm making is more neutral."

Wei Yangyang also didn't know if the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl.

So the things she prepared were all in a more neutral style.

And this was exactly what Li Moning had hoped for!

Li Moning leaned in a little closer and said with a smile, "Neutral is just fine; I've been wanting to change up my style lately."

"Alright then, shall we start now?"

Li Moning nodded without hesitation.

She then picked up a set of tools and began to learn patiently.

The two people here, one teaching and one learning, were a picture of peace and tranquility.

On the other side, inside the Zhanlanguan, Su Kexuan was standing in front of a piece of work, listening to the staff member's introduction with a serious expression.

Building Qingkong was only the first step in Su Kexuan's plan.

She also wanted to discover more talented artists.

It was just a pity that she hadn't encountered any other artists who caught her eye.

The work of this folk artist today did pique a little of Su Kexuan's interest.

However, she had many blind spots in this area.

She listened very carefully while the staff member was introducing it.

Perhaps because she was too focused, Su Kexuan didn't even notice someone watching her silently.

It was the staff member introducing it to her who discovered that person's presence.

After finishing most of what needed to be said, the staff member reminded her, "That lady has been standing there for a long time; she seems to know you."

Su Kexuan immediately looked over in the direction the staff member indicated.

Then, she saw Jiang Baobao nodding at her with a smile.

Jiang Baobao's appearance made Su Kexuan raise her eyebrows slightly.

In her heart, she had a vague premonition.

However, Su Kexuan appeared very composed.

She said a few words to the staff member, then walked straight to Jiang Baobao and smiled, "Are you here to see the exhibition too?"

"No, I'm here to find you."

"Then let's sit down and talk."

Jiang Baobao didn't want to delay Su Kexuan's work, so she said, "You finish your business first; I can wait here."

"You don't need to worry, the main business is already finished; let's go to the lounge on the second floor."

After Su Kexuan finished speaking, she led the way.

The two walked up the flights of stairs and reached the second floor.

Most of the second floor was used for exhibitions.

But compared to the first floor, there was a lounge area taking up one-third of the space.

Visitors could have a drink or buy some cultural and creative products here.

At this time, there weren't many people.

Su Kexuan found a seat by the window and sat down across from Jiang Baobao.

The waiter here recognized Su Kexuan and waved at her with a smile, "Sister Kexuan, would you like some coffee?"

"Mm, one hot Americano."

After Su Kexuan finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Baobao, "And you, ma'am?"

"The same as you is fine."

"Then two hot Americanos."

The waiter made an "OK" gesture and began operating the machine.

During the coffee-making process, a little noise was produced.

But what followed was the rich aroma of coffee filling the room.

Jiang Baobao loved drinking coffee.

In normal times, she could have judged that they used top-tier coffee beans just by smelling this scent.

But at this moment, Jiang Baobao, filled with worries, had no heart to analyze these things.

She even wanted to back out.

After all, her request was truly abrupt...

"Ma'am, just say whatever you want to say; there's no need for so many reservations."

Seeming to see Jiang Baobao's hesitation, Su Kexuan gave her some reassurance first.

But Jiang Baobao didn't feel at ease; instead, she smiled bitterly, "Once I say what's on my mind, I'm afraid the one with reservations will be you."

"That's a matter for later; you must state the problem first so I can see if I can help you."

Truth be told, only Su Kexuan could help with this matter.

As for whether she was willing... Jiang Baobao didn't dare to guarantee it.

The hands clasped together tightened.

In the end, Jiang Baobao still thickened her skin and spoke up: "I'm looking for you this time because I want to talk to you about Mobai."

Hearing the expected name, Su Kexuan's expression did not change.

She asked calmly: "Isn't Jiang Mobai recuperating at home? Could it be that things aren't going very smoothly?"

"The treatment is going smoothly, but after he moved out to live on his own, the situation gradually spiraled out of control."

"Uh, moved out?"

This time, a crack appeared in her calm expression.

Su Kexuan was somewhat stunned.

Jiang Baobao was also a bit surprised: "Tiantian didn't mention this to you?"

"She didn't. We've both been very busy lately and haven't had time to meet."

No time to meet, but they could communicate by phone.

Yet Su Kexuan had never taken the initiative to ask about Mobai's situation...

Jiang Baobao felt that the current situation was not very optimistic.

At this moment, a waiter brought over the prepared coffee.

Feeling restless, Jiang Baobao picked up the cup and took a sip.

Instantly, a bitter taste coated her tongue.

The stimulation to her taste buds, however, made Jiang Baobao perk up.

At this moment, she suddenly figured it out:

The worst possible outcome was simply gaining nothing at all.

Since there was nothing to lose, what was she worried about?

It wouldn't matter even if she just gave up and let things fall apart!

Having figured this out, Jiang Baobao stopped caring about anything and started rambling:

"Mobai is in a bad mood and wanted to change his living environment; that wasn't something difficult to do, so we just let him have his way."

"But after moving out, he's been living too carelessly and doesn't eat his three meals on time. I want to say a few words to him, but I'm worried about upsetting him."

"So I was thinking... Kexuan, Auntie is begging you for a favor."

Jiang Baobao actually used the word "beg."

Su Kexuan hurriedly sat up straight and said: "Please don't humble me like that; just tell me directly what you need me to do."

"Go live next door to him for a while, check on him from time to time, and remind him to eat properly so he doesn't ruin his health."

Jiang Baobao's request was very modest.

Her tone also carried a hint of humility.

As a mother, she really had no other choice.

But Jiang Baobao also knew that even if Su Kexuan refused, it would be perfectly reasonable.

After all, this request was somewhat imposing.

And a bit whimsical, too...

Jiang Baobao felt anxious.

But Su Kexuan opened her mouth and stated her decision: "Fine, I will look after him."

"Oh, then that—wait a second, you agreed!?"

Jiang Baobao was a beat slow to react to what Su Kexuan had said.

This made her unable to believe it, and her eyes went wide.

Su Kexuan curved her lips and smiled: "Yes, though you, why do you look like you just won five million?"

"This isn't winning five million, it's winning a hundred million! Kexuan, thank you!!"

"You're welcome. Whether it's you, or Tiantian, Momo, or Li Xingyan, you have all helped me quite a bit, so I should naturally return the favor."
