Chapter 28: An Extra Son

As Jiang Baobao was thinking, she suddenly saw Zheng Bo running out from the villa.

"Miss Jiang, why are you standing here? The young master invites you to the study for a talk..."

Zheng Bo was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly stared at Jiang Baobao's feet in surprise: "Miss Jiang, why did you run out without wearing shoes?"

Jiang Baobao came back to her senses, only then realizing that the soles of her feet were stinging with a burning pain.

"It's nothing."

She waved her hand casually, turned and entered the villa, found a pair of shoes to put on, and strode toward the direction of the upstairs.

She still remembered what that farce last night was for.

Thirty drinks were not drunk in vain, and the two of them should talk about serious business.

As for the child she saw just now...

As long as Li Beijue honestly stopped targeting her own precious child, she couldn't be bothered to have any conflict with him!

As Jiang Baobao was thinking, she went up the stairs, and before she even reached the study, her gaze inadvertently passed by the doorway of another room with the door left ajar.

After just one glance, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

That is... painting tools?

Jiang Baobao took a few looks, and as if possessed, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Upon entering, she saw that the room was piled everywhere with drawing boards and paints.

The height of the drawing boards also indicated that the person who often painted here was not very tall.

Jiang Baobao was a bit surprised; she took two steps forward and carefully lifted one of the paintings.

It was a magnificent starry sky.

Both the colors and the brushwork were breathtaking; it was hard to believe it was painted by a child.

Jiang Baobao was somewhat stunned, and she couldn't help but think of her own little one who had suddenly revealed a talent for painting.

Does this son of Li Beijue also like to paint?

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her.

Li Beijue's cold, hard voice also rang out: "Who let you in?"

"Ah? I'm sorry, I saw the door wasn't closed..." Jiang Baobao immediately came to her senses and apologized subconsciously.

Li Beijue strode in and slammed the painting that had just been lifted back down.

"You aren't worthy of touching the things here! Get out!"

He coldly issued an order to leave.

Jiang Baobao felt a lump of air suddenly block her chest.

What does "not worthy" mean?

She had already apologized just now!

Did he have to be like this?

Since she had broken in without permission, Jiang Baobao didn't say anything more; she walked straight out and turned to go to the study not far away.

Li Beijue followed her in.

The door of the study was closed, shutting out all the sounds from outside.

Jiang Baobao looked at the person sitting behind the desk and remembered what happened last night, her expression somewhat awkward.

She composed herself and said calmly: "Last night..."

Jiang Baobao had intended to talk directly about the three billion from last night.

But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly heard the other party let out a cold snort.

"You still dare to bring up last night?"

Jiang Baobao's words faltered.

Li Beijue glanced over with cold eyes and sneered sarcastically: "After all these years, your ability to shamelessly throw yourself at me and crawl into my bed hasn't diminished at all."

"Who are you calling shameless?" Jiang Baobao stood up with a 'whoosh'.

Li Beijue's expression became even more disdainful as he stated a fact.

"Last night, it was you yourself who ran into my bed."

"..." Jiang Baobao clenched her fists and said nothing.

When she woke up in the morning, she had noticed this, but she just hadn't deliberately thought about it.

Li Beijue wore an expression of watching a good show.

He just wanted to make Jiang Baobao embarrassed.

He just wanted to humiliate her.

Jiang Baobao naturally understood his purpose; her gaze flickered for a moment, and she suddenly curled her lips, her smile carrying a hint of disdain and nonchalance.

Want to humiliate her?

Not a chance!

As Jiang Baobao thought this, she hurried back to the guest bedroom Li Beijue had arranged for her last night and found her bag inside.

Carrying her bag back to the study, she stood before Li Beijue, her clothes now tidied up much more neatly.

Li Beijue looked at Jiang Baobao with a cold expression, silently watching as she took her wallet out of the bag.

"Li Beijue!!!"

Jiang Baobao clutched a stack of money in her hand, not even looking at it, staring straight at Li Beijue.

The next second, she suddenly swung her hand violently!

The fluttering banknotes instantly fell from the air like scattering flower petals—what a spectacular sight!

"Thanks for your hard work last night; even the highest-grade gigolo wouldn't cost more than this. Keep it and spend it slowly!"

She said this, dropped the sentence, and turned to leave.

Li Beijue looked at the banknotes fluttering down before him, momentarily stunned for once.

He came back to his senses and stood up, slamming the table.

"Jiang Baobao!!!"

His expression was fierce as he stared at the back of the woman at the study door.

Jiang Baobao's footsteps paused.

She turned around, her face still wearing a gentle, spring-breeze-like smile, tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Almost forgot to say, I don't want to cooperate with you at all. There's no need for the contract, and I don't want those three billion either—keep it to buy yourself a graveyard!"

Jiang Baobao was as firm as could be; she let out a cold snort and strode away.

Li Beijue had never been looked down upon like this before, and a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

However, Jiang Baobao's figure had already vanished from his sight.

The light sound of high heels grew more and more distant; he was silent for a moment, then grabbed his phone with a gloomy expression.

"Pass on my order: whoever dares to invest in Jiang Baobao's Team is going against me, Li Beijue!!!"

……

Jiang Baobao took a taxi directly back to the Base.

As soon as she entered the door, a little dumpling lunged in her direction.

"Mommy! You're finally back!"

Yanbao had been missing Jiang Baobao terribly; as he spoke, he quickly threw himself into her arms.

Jiang Baobao instantly put on a smiling face and picked him up.

"Baby! Were you a good boy last night? Mommy missed you so much!"

The moment she saw the other little one this morning, she had felt very anxious; she still remembered that feeling of trepidation.

Jiang Baobao hugged him tightly and sat down on the sofa.

Yanbao nodded obediently: "I was very good yesterday, and the Security Guard uncle even praised me."

Jiang Baobao immediately smiled and pinched his little face, pretending not to believe him: "Really? Mommy was worried you'd be naughty at home. It seems our Mobai has grown up!"

Yanbao smiled without speaking, his little head spinning fast.

Mobai is just too lively!

It seems that from now on, I need to be a bit more lively in front of Mommy too!

So I don't give myself away!

Jiang Baobao chatted with Yanbao for a while, then let him go eat some snacks.

She then dialed Cai Xiaotang's number.

The phone rang twice and was quickly answered.

"Hello? Why are you calling at this time? Isn't it just morning over there?"

Cai Xiaotang knew Jiang Baobao's "lazybones" habits well and started off with a jab.

Jiang Baobao was in no mood for small talk and went straight to the point: "Let me tell you, I'm going to be pissed to death by that bastard Li Beijue!"

Yanbao, who was eating snacks in the dining room, froze and immediately pricked up his little ears.

Why did I hear Daddy's name?

Could it be that Daddy made Mommy angry again?
