Chapter 29: Li Beijue Says, Give My Son Back to Me

Cai Xiaotang was also full of confusion, not understanding why the two of them were entangled again; they really were enemies.

Immediately after, she heard Jiang Baobao rattle off everything that had happened last night and this morning like a machine gun.

"Thirty glasses of alcohol? Does he want your life? You can't drink like that no matter how much money is involved!"

Cai Xiaotang was quite angry and felt a bit of heartache for Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao, however, shook her head: "That's not important. What's important is that stingy guy must have already given orders by now, telling everyone not to provide us with any sponsorship!"

"Then don't take it! It's not like you don't have money! You really don't need his little bit of investment, do you!"

Cai Xiaotang was indifferent.

Jiang Baobao, however, frowned tightly: "That's easy to say, but I just returned to the country and there are definitely many eyes on me. No sponsorship is equivalent to no one taking us seriously. I'm afraid those brats will care too much and it will affect their mood and the competition."

An esports player's mood directly affects their performance; Jiang Baobao's worry was not without reason.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but worry along with her, then suddenly thought of something and said indignantly: "That ungrateful guy! It's a pity you saved him back then! He's actually treating you like this now!"

Jiang Baobao also had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent. After thinking for two seconds, she simply cursed: "Exactly! To deal with a dog of a man like Li Beijue, one should just put him in a sack and give him a good beating!"

Yanbao was lying by the bedroom door and immediately widened his eyes upon hearing this.

What on earth did Daddy do?

To actually make Mommy this angry!

Jiang Baobao cursed Li Beijue for a full twenty minutes before stopping.

Cai Xiaotang persuaded her for a long while, and only then did the two hang up the phone.

Yanbao had even cast the pudding on the table to the back of his mind. Hearing that the living room had gone quiet, he hurriedly ran toward Jiang Baobao.

"Mommy, did... did Daddy make you angry?"

Yanbao wanted to fish for information and, in a moment of carelessness, forgot to change his form of address.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Baobao reached out and flicked his forehead.

"You little guy, how did you change your tune so quickly? What kind of soul-stealing soup did that jerk feed you?"

Jiang Baobao thought of her precious one's address just now, and her heart felt a little sour.

"Mommy, I'm sorry, don't be angry! I... I won't call him that anymore..."

Yanbao hurriedly shook his head, thinking to himself, Daddy, I'm sorry, this time he had to stand on Mommy's side!

Jiang Baobao sighed and, feeling a bit of heartache, picked the little guy up.

"What are you apologizing for? Mommy was just joking with you."

After finishing, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly urged: "But from now on, if that jerk of a daddy of yours dares to come find you, you must tell Mommy! Even if he doesn't come, you are not allowed to pay him any mind if you see him! Do you hear me?"

Yanbao was slightly stunned. Thinking of the words he had heard in the kitchen just now, he suddenly understood a little.

Daddy went too far this time!

He actually deliberately suppressed Mommy!

And made things difficult for Mommy!

Yanbao felt a bit angry and couldn't help but ask: "Mommy, I seemed to hear you say just now... that you encountered some trouble?"

Hearing this, Jiang Baobao squeezed out a smile.

"It's not really a big deal, just some problems with the Team's sponsorship. You don't understand these things yet; Mommy can solve it, you don't need to worry."

"Oh..." Yanbao nodded, but his little brain was spinning fast.

Who said he didn't understand?

Isn't sponsorship just the kind of investment Daddy usually does?

No, he had to find a way to help Mommy handle Daddy!

Otherwise, Daddy and Mommy will never be able to make up!

But to help, he would have to go back, and he didn't want to leave Mommy so soon...

Yanbao blinked, suddenly had an idea, and struggled to jump out of Jiang Baobao's arms.

"Mommy, I want to go to my room to get something."

He dropped this sentence and ran back to his room as fast as he could to find his watch phone.

In this children's watch phone that Jiang Baobao had just bought for him, only the numbers for Jiang Baobao and one other person were saved.

"Beep—"

Yanbao looked expectant, listening carefully to the activity on the phone.

Then he heard it being picked up.

"Yanbao! I was just planning to look for you!" Mobai's excited voice popped out from the phone.

He was boredly looking at an art exhibition and didn't know how to deal with the upcoming competition.

Seeing Yanbao calling, he forbade anyone from following him and ran straight into the restroom.

Worried about Jiang Baobao, Yanbao also hurriedly spoke up: "Mobai! I have something very important I need your help with, listen to me first!"

"Need my help?" Little Mobai was stunned for a moment.

"Mm-hmm!" Yanbao explained quickly: "It's about Mommy! You must know about Mommy's Team; it seems like Daddy has forbidden anyone from sponsoring Mommy. You're by Daddy's side, do you have any good ideas?"

"Daddy won't let others invest in Mommy?" Mobai repeated in disbelief, anger gathering in his big eyes.

That stinky Daddy is too much, right?

Why is he bullying Mommy like this!

Mobai couldn't be bothered to think of a plan and simply said directly: "Daddy is really too much! Let's switch our identities back! I'll go back and help Mommy!"

It just so happens that after going back, he won't have to participate in any painting competition!

Yanbao hadn't expected Mobai's attitude to be so firm, and holding the phone, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Should they just switch back like this?

But... he still couldn't bear to leave Mommy.

Mobai was also angry at Daddy...

Had he done something wrong?

He shouldn't have brought this matter up...

"Hello? Yanbao?"

Mobai didn't hear Yanbao speak for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

"I'm here." Yanbao snapped back to his senses.

Mobai blinked his eyes, instantly sensing that Yanbao's mood seemed off.

Should he not have said it like that just now?

Yanbao must not want to leave Mommy right now...

He hoped that Daddy and Mommy could reconcile...

Both little fellows were thinking of the other, and both fell silent.

A moment later—

"Mobai..."

"Yanbao..."

The two spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time.

"You go first." Mobai took a step back.

A warm current flowed through Yanbao's heart.

He pursed his little lips and thought for a long time before saying: "Actually... Daddy really isn't a bad person, please don't be angry with him, okay?"

"No! Anyone who bullies Mommy is my enemy!" Mobai replied decisively, without a shred of room for negotiation.

"Then... then maybe there's some misunderstanding? Daddy is really, really good!" Yanbao tried hard to turn around Li Beijue's image.

Mobai was silent for a moment; not wanting to make Yanbao unhappy, he suppressed his retort, though he felt a bit unconvinced in his heart.

Yanbao had just lived with Daddy for too long, which was why he was speaking up for him!

Being with Mommy was the only way to be happy!

It was much better than that stinky Daddy who only knew how to bully people!

Thinking this, Mobai couldn't help but want to vent some frustration for Jiang Baobao.

"I take back what I said just now; let's not swap identities yet. I'll find a way to solve Mommy's problem!"

Upon hearing this, Yanbao's expression instantly turned pleasantly surprised: "Really? I knew you would definitely have a way!"

Mobai shook his head with a precocious air: "A way... I don't actually have one yet..."

Then he changed the subject: "But there is something I need your help with too!"

Yanbao agreed immediately: "What help? Just tell me, I will definitely try my best to help you!"
