Chapter 2241: A Very Happy Family

As for the situation with Jiang Mobai, Jiang Baobao had only ever heard about it from others.

Now, she wanted to check on things herself!

Jiang Mobai was not aware of his mother's intentions.

By the time he finished a big meal with his teammates and returned home, it was indeed very late.

Yet, the Li Family were all sitting on the sofa in a row.

As soon as Jiang Mobai entered the door, they stared at him without blinking.

This formation made Jiang Mobai feel very uneasy.

He blinked his eyes and asked, "Are you all... holding a trial here?"

"You're overthinking it. Come, come sit!"

Jiang Baobao pulled Jiang Mobai's hand and sat him down in the middle of everyone.

Then, she spoke with a look of gratification: "Mobai, we've all heard about your performance today. Mom is truly happy for you!"

Jiang Mobai shrugged, acting a bit cocky: "Hey, I'm just returning to normal. It will only get better from here."

"That's right, our Mobai will definitely get better and better!"

Jiang Baobao acknowledged Jiang Mobai, then asked again: "I heard from Momo that you're going to shift your work focus to team operations?"

"Yeah, but I'm not giving up racing. Once I find a balance between racing and life, I'll go back."

Li Xingyan did not hold an optimistic view of this: "Once you let go, it's very hard to reach peak form again; it'll be more like just playing around."

"I don't think so."

Jiang Mobai denied this unhurriedly:

"I was struggling with the idea of peak form before, but that's a false proposition. Who can predict whether their future self will be better or worse? No one can do that. All I can do is follow my heart and leave no regrets."

What Jiang Mobai said was his true inner thought.

He would also strive to achieve it.

Hearing these words, the Li Family felt complex emotions in their hearts.

Some were moved, some were gratified, and some were lost in thought.

Li Beijue was the first to break the silence: "It seems you have indeed grown quite a bit during this time."

Getting praise from his father was not easy.

On the surface, Jiang Mobai didn't react much, but deep down, he was secretly pleased.

"Actually, managing a racing team is similar to managing a company. If possible, you should help Xingyan share the burden in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyan's eyes lit up.

Jiang Mobai, however, stopped being secretly pleased; he pulled a long face and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can't do that."

"Don't be so quick to deny it. Didn't you just say that no one can predict their future self?"

Uh...

Jiang Mobai felt he had dug a hole for himself.

Li Xingyan continued to widen this hole: "Find some time to come to the company and take a look."

"Ah? This..."

"Alright Xingyan, don't push him too hard, take it slow."

Before Jiang Mobai could refuse Li Xingyan's invitation, Li Beijue spoke up first.

And the tone of his refusal was actually quite gentle.

One had to know, Li Beijue really disliked Jiang Mobai's attitude toward life.

When talking about this son, he usually used simple words, a harsh tone, and was even a bit impatient.

But now?

What a huge change!

Li Beijue's change was indeed not small.

He had also been reflecting constantly after Jiang Mobai went through various twists and turns.

Then, he had controlled his irritable temper.

Now, he was adapting to a new way of communicating.

However...

Li Beijue frowned as he looked at Jiang Mobai and asked, "What kind of look is that?"

"A look of reverence!"

Jiang Mobai stared at his father without blinking.

There was indeed a hint of reverence in his eyes.

But Li Beijue felt very uncomfortable.

He gave a light cough and ordered: "Keep the reverence in your heart; there's no need to show it!"

The Li Family was amused by Li Beijue's awkward description.

As Jiang Baobao laughed, warm liquid also spilled from the corners of her eyes.

She wiped them with her fingers.

Then, she held Jiang Mobai's hand and said with gratification: "Now, Mom is truly at ease."

Jiang Baobao watched Jiang Mobai's performance closely.

She knew that Jiang Mobai had truly stepped out of the shackles he had set for himself.

In the future, he would only get better!

This was clearly a happy occasion, yet Jiang Baobao felt her tears were about to become uncontrollable again.

She kept rubbing her eyes, and her eye rims slowly turned red.

Jiang Mobai did not want his mother to feel upset, so he changed the subject: "Momo didn't say anything bad about me, did she?"

Li Moning understood what Jiang Mobai meant.

Immediately, she cooperated fully and bickered with him: "Of course not, do you think I'm you!"

Jiang Motian also joined in, taking the opportunity to say: "What does that mean? Did Mobai bully Momo?"

"I didn't bully her; I just said two honest things, that's all."

Honest things?

Li Moning crossed her arms, ready to puff up like a pufferfish again.

Jiang Mobai did not want to truly annoy her, so he quickly changed his tune: "It's Second Brother's fault for speaking nonsense. How about you hit me twice to vent your anger?"

"I am not like you; I am a lady!"

As she spoke, Li Moning tossed her hair while lifting her chin.

"You're more than just a lady; you're practically a literary girl—taking photos, reading books, and loving life!"

Jiang Mobai's tone was a bit exaggerated.

But his words pleased Li Moning.

The corners of her mouth gradually curled up, and finally, she laughed out loud with delight.

To be so happy just from being complimented—she really had the temperament of a child.

But the Li Family knew that one could not tell Li Moning she was a child in front of her.

Otherwise...

Li Moning would throw a childish tantrum.

Jiang Baobao had already calmed down.

Looking at her sensible children, she once again felt how fortunate she was.

The grandfather clock chimed "dong-dong" several times.

This sound reminded Jiang Baobao.

She checked the time and said to Jiang Mobai: "It's getting late; you need to head back."

Huh?

Jiang Mobai had not expected his mother to send him away when the atmosphere was just right.

But Jiang Baobao had her reasons: "Kexuan is working overtime and definitely hasn't eaten properly. I'll have the maid stir-fry two dishes for you to take back!"

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao called over a servant and arranged for them to prepare a few delicious and simple dishes.

Only then did Jiang Mobai understand his mother's painstaking efforts.

From his mother's arrangement, he also thought of a possibility:

On the day of the picnic, he could completely have the servants at home prepare the food.

Wouldn't that be cleaner, more delicious, and more convenient than takeout?

But if he did that, would Kexuan think he lacked sincerity?

Jiang Mobai was so conflicted.

This conflicted mood made him hesitate to speak.

Jiang Baobao saw Jiang Mobai's struggle.

She was waiting for him to bring it up himself.

But time passed bit by bit.

Jiang Mobai showed no intention of speaking.

Finally, an impatient Jiang Baobao asked proactively: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Huh? I... I wanted to ask the servant to help make some food."

"Just this little thing? What is there to be conflicted about!"

"Because..."

Jiang Mobai said two words and closed his lips again.

This made Jiang Baobao very anxious.

At this moment, Li Moning, who saw through Jiang Mobai's thoughts, spoke up with a smile: "He's going on a picnic with Kexuan this weekend, and he definitely hasn't decided whether or not to have the home servants prepare the food!"

Hearing this, the whole family immediately looked at Jiang Mobai.

They saw that Jiang Mobai had no intention of denying it at all.

Instead, he stared at Li Moning with a resentful expression.
