Chapter 391: He Knows Tiantian's Identity
After lunch, Li Laoyezi made an excuse about being tired and had the Li Xinghua family leave directly.
Even Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang only stayed a little longer before the old man found an excuse to send them away.
"Baobao, are you sure you want to stay here?"
At the doorway, Cai Xiaotang asked with some depression.
Jiang Baobao nodded helplessly: "Mobai and Yanbao are still keeping the old man company, I must stay."
"Alright then... but... that guy Li Beijue is just too hard to fathom! All those things he said at the dinner table today..."
Cai Xiaotang was at a loss for words for a moment.
She paused for two seconds before whispering: "Although I hate to admit it, he was indeed very responsible in that moment, but whenever I think of the things he did a few years ago, I just want to beat him up!"
"Pfft..."
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing that Li Xiao had already been waiting in the car for a long time, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry about me for now, your Li Xiao has been waiting for you for a long time, you should hurry and get in the car!"
"What do you mean 'my'?" Cai Xiaotang retorted subconsciously.
Seeing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but tease: "If he's not yours, could he be mine?"
"I..." Cai Xiaotang was speechless, especially when she caught a glimpse of a certain person's lips curling up after hearing Jiang Baobao's words, which made her even more annoyed.
"Forget it, I'm leaving now. If anything happens, remember to call me!"
As she spoke, she quickly pulled open the car door and got in.
Jiang Baobao turned and returned to the villa, but upon entering, she only saw the three little ones playing in the living room.
"Yanbao, where are Daddy and Great-Grandpa?"
Jiang Baobao scanned the room but did not see the two of them.
Immediately after, she heard Mobai answer loudly: "Great-Grandpa and Daddy went upstairs to chat! They told us to wait here for a bit!"
"Upstairs?"
Jiang Baobao realized what was happening in an instant.
Li Laoyezi didn't say anything just now... he must be talking to Li Beijue alone about her affairs now, right?
According to the Li Family's house rules...
Li Beijue might have already been ordered not to have any more contact with her!
Then, as long as she could handle the matter of the three children... everything would be peaceful!
The study—
Li Laoyezi was indeed talking to Li Beijue with a serious expression.
"Have you really decided on the matter of that little girl?"
Li Laoyezi asked with a sunken face.
"You mean Tiantian?" Li Beijue's expression was calm: "Because I want to win Jiang Baobao back, I can accept whatever identity Tiantian has."
Li Beijue deliberately did not clarify Tiantian's identity, intending to tell the old man after some time.
Li Laoyezi did not immediately refute him, but instead let out a long sigh.
"Since you like her, then Grandpa won't say anything. If the two of you are fated, naturally you can be together again... As for that little girl, I find her quite likable too; having an extra great-granddaughter isn't bad..."
"Grandpa... you..."
Li Beijue did not expect Li Laoyezi to agree so readily, and his expression was suddenly quite surprised.
"What? Didn't expect me to say that?"
Li Laoyezi suddenly shook his head with a smile: "I'm not as old-fashioned as you think. Since you already have a clear goal, then go ahead and pursue it. If there's anything you need Grandpa's help with, just say so!"
Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and a heavy stone in his heart seemed to fall away, making him feel much more relaxed.
It wasn't until the sky grew dark that Li Laoyezi let them go home.
Jiang Baobao sat in the car, but she was deep in thought the whole way, feeling that something was strange.
Li Beijue... how could he so abruptly announce that Tiantian was his daughter?
He clearly didn't know anything yet...
Or could it be...
He already knew?
Jiang Baobao felt a sudden shock in her heart and subconsciously glanced at the person driving beside her.
No...
It was impossible for him to know...
Jiang Baobao felt it was unlikely no matter how she thought about it, and after pondering for a long time, she forcibly pushed the matter to the back of her mind.
A few days later—
It was time for the third competition and the announcement of the participant list.
Jiang Baobao became busy again, but because she had accidentally caught a cold and was afraid of affecting the team members, she could only stay in the villa to provide guidance via video.
In the afternoon—
She had just turned on her desktop computer, intending to guide the group on their recent training plan.
But unexpectedly, before the video connection was made, the desktop computer screen suddenly went black!
"What's going on?"
She muttered to herself and immediately pressed restart.
The desktop computer remained completely unresponsive.
Only then did Jiang Baobao realize belatedly that the power seemed to have gone out.
She stood up abruptly, deciding to go downstairs to ask.
Just as she stepped out the door, she happened to run into Zheng Bo, who was coming upstairs.
"Miss Jiang, there is a problem with the circuits in the vicinity; power might not be restored until tonight."
As soon as Zheng Bo saw Jiang Baobao, he immediately got straight to the point.
Jiang Baobao's expression turned helpless, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Beijue walking down from the study upstairs.
Zheng Bo immediately explained the situation again.
After listening, Li Beijue looked straight at Jiang Baobao and asked, "Do you still need to work?"
"Yes..." Jiang Baobao replied subconsciously.
Immediately after, she heard Li Beijue continue, "My laptop in the study happens to have power; you can use it for now. It should be enough for an emergency."
Jiang Baobao hesitated for a moment.
Her laptop was at the Training Base and had not been brought back, so she could only use Li Beijue's for the moment.
Thinking this, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, thank you."
After saying thank you, she turned and went directly to the study upstairs.
As soon as she entered, she saw a laptop indeed sitting on the cabinet to the side.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly took it and sat down at the desk in the center.
She pressed the power button, but it did not light up.
"Hmm?"
She frowned in confusion and hurriedly flipped the computer over to look, only to discover a long, rectangular groove on the back.
"It actually has no battery... what kind of habit is this?"
Jiang Baobao muttered helplessly, hurriedly looking around subconsciously.
Her gaze swept over every surface she could see, but she did not see a trace of the battery.
Finally, her gaze had to slowly fall upon the desk in front of her.
She did not have the habit of snooping through his things...
She was just looking for the battery...
Jiang Baobao recited to herself in her heart, then tentatively pulled open a drawer on her left.
But the battery she was looking for was not inside; there were only a few document bags.
Jiang Baobao glanced at them and was about to close it.
However, her gaze suddenly swept over a piece of paper peeking out from one of the document bags.
Her movements paused abruptly, and she frowned instantly.
Then she gently pulled the drawer open again and carefully took out the document bag she had just seen.
She saw that only a single thin sheet of paper was placed inside.
Printed on it were the four large characters: 【Appraisal Report】.
Jiang Baobao's eyes widened sharply, her eyes filled with shock.
This is... Tiantian's Appraisal Report?
When did Li Beijue secretly go to get this done?
