Chapter 130 – Wealthy Bastard (part 5)

Jiang Xue’s ability to act fast was worth mentioning. It didn’t take long for Li Su to see news on the internet about Li Su meeting her boyfriend in Country M, some of which were accompanied by photos. Of course, the photos that were taken were a bit blurry and neither of their faces were captured.

However, Li Su took a closer look. The girl in the photo had a very similar physique.

There were even a few photos with a bulge in the stomach area. Everyone left a message, guessing if she was pregnant.

Li Su had to admit that Jiang Xue was really good. Even the man in the photos looked Asian.

“Su Su, don’t keep looking at your phone. You’re still in the confinement period. Watch your eyes,” Mother Jiang whispered at the door.

“I know, godmother.” LI Su immediately put down her phone.

Mother Jiang liked Li Su even more. She was obedient, sensible, and well-behaved. The elders would like this girl.

In order not to scare Mother and Father Jiang, Jiang Xue had to watch what she said. If Mother and Father Jiang saw the news online, they would have misunderstood Li Su. She had already discussed the baby’s biological father with Mother and Father Jiang, playing up the image of Li Su. In Jiang Xue’s version, Li Su was just a simple and ignorant young girl who was confused by the words of a rich man and didn’t know that the rich man was just playing with her and didn’t intend to be responsible at all.

Li Su only found out she was pregnant after she broke up with the rich man. She was reluctant to give up the child and rather give up her career to become a single mother and keep the child.

But, Li Su was afraid that the rich man would compete over custody after he knew of the child’s existence. The rich man was already married and slept with her so that she would give birth to a son. So, when Li Su was pregnant, she hid in City C and announced that she was studying abroad.

Mother and Father Jiang were naturally moved by this story and felt distressed. They thought Li Su was a pitiable child who was ignorant since she was young. Since it was like, this would be better for Li Su and the baby.

At this time, Su Wanzhe also saw the news online, but didn’t take it to heart. He had played with many female stars, so what was Li Su? She coveted his money and power while he coveted her young body. Each took what they needed.

It was Su Wanzhe’s wife, An Wei, who saw the news of Li Su’s pregnancy. She was suspicious and called Su Wanzhe.

Su Wanzhe shook his head. “Absolutely impossible. I wouldn’t let an actress get pregnant with my child.”

Although An Wei was a little sceptical, she had no choice but to believe Su Wanzhe when she heard his decisive tone. Although Su Wanzhe liked to play around, he had never gotten anyone pregnant. An Wei chose to believe him. “If you really want a child, then pick a good one and take the child after it’s born. I won’t object.”

Su Wanzhe was 30 this year, but he only had 1 daughter. He wasn’t in a hurry. But, he also knew that An Wei’s words weren’t sincere. If he had another child, An Wei would definitely feel uncomfortable. The project between the Su and An families was in the critical stage, so it was best not to make any waves for the time being. Besides, he was still young and he did not have a strong obsession to have a son.

In a few years, if An Wei can’t give birth to a son, then the An family would be embarrassed!

An Wei hung up the phone and her sister-in-law, who was next to her, asked, “What did Wanzhe say?”

An Wei shook her head. “Wanzhe definitively said no. He doesn’t need to lie to me about this.”

Hearing this, she felt relieved. “That’s good.” Then, she remembered something and glanced at An Wei. “Wei Wei, your eldest brother asked me to persuade you to go to the United States to find a surrogate. You don’t have to give birth yourself. Many rich ladies do this now. You must have a son. Wouldn’t it be inconvenient to let the family’s properties go to an outsider? I don’t dislike Anyi, but people pay more attention to people like us.”

An Wei was a little impatient. “Sister-in-law, don’t talk about this. I don’t want to listen.” When she gave birth to Anyi, she suffered a complication which caused her uterus to be removed. She almost died. Since then, a shadow had been cast on the issue of her giving birth. She could get her eggs and find a surrogate. Sister-in-law had consulted with a doctor. The egg retrieval process was very painful.

Hearing this, she shook her head, helpless. “Since you don’t want to listen, then just assume that I hadn’t said anything!” Sooner or later, An Wei would regret it! As her sister-in-law, she had said what needed to be said. Whether An Wei listened was An Wei’s problem.

In an instant, Chinese New Year was upon them. Mother and Father Jiang stayed here to celebrate the new year because they were reluctant to leave the children. It would be the same whether they went back and celebrated with their relatives or stayed here.

On New Year’s Eve, Jiang Xue returned. She put down her things and went straight to hold the child, not letting go. “Our Jiangping has grown so much. Let godmother hug you so you don’t think godmother is dead!”

“What are you saying? We are celebrating the new year, don’t talk about death so casually!” Mother Jiang said angrily. She held a spatula in one hand and a pot lid in the other.

Li Su smiled and asked, “Sister, how many days do you have off this time?”

“Hehe, if there is nothing serious, then I get half a month. I will go back after the fifteenth.” Jiang Xue smiled.

“Half a month! With that much time, you and your father can go back to our hometown and meet with the old aunt and uncle. I won’t go back,” said Mother Jiang. “It is Chinese New Year and the auntie will be on holiday too. There will only be Su Su and the baby in the house. I can’t leave them here by themselves!”

Father Jiang poked his head out from the kitchen. “Let her go alone. I also don’t want to worry about the baby!”

Jiang Xue’s eyes widened. “You are with the baby every day. I only managed to take a few days off. Let me rest! Besides, if I go back, seventh and eighth aunt will bring their children to me again to try and get them to be big stars! I said that if they were ugly and weren’t good enough to take with me to Korea to get plastic surgery, then their faces can be similar. I will offend all my relatives if you let me go back.”

Mother Jiang glared at her irritably. “Fine, let your dad return alone!”

Father Jiang’s eyes widened. Why was it him who had to go back every time? He also wanted to stay home and look after his grandson. He didn’t want to go back.

But nobody listened to what Father Jiang said.

In the evening, everyone was lively. They watched the Spring Festival Gala Evening while they ate dinner. Li Su felt a bit emotional. The original owner had spent every New Year alone and huddled in her room and even watched the Spring Festival Gala Evening alone. It was so lively today.

Jiang Xue saw Li Su like this and guessed what she was feeling. Jiang Xue raised the cup. “Let’s toast.”

Li Su was still breastfeeding. Mother Jiang was carrying some orange juice. Just as Mother Jiang was about to serve it, she suddenly remembered something. “Wait a minute. I will heat up the milk for you and you can drink that. This is too cold for you. You need to be wary of ingesting too many cold things!”

Jiang Xue wailed. “Mom, this isn’t necessary! The air conditioner is on since it is so warm. You can catch a cold from that.”

“Look at you. We should be afraid of exposing the baby to the scent of wine! Mother Jiang took the red wine in front of Jiang Xue and the white wine in front of Father Jiang away. She then put the bottle of hot milk in front of the last person.

Father Jiang and Jiang Xue looked at each other.

Li Su smiled. “Godmother, let them drink some wine for the New Year celebrations! It is okay.”

“No, I don’t think that it is good!” Mother Jiang glared at Father Jiang and Jiang Xue. “If you want to drink, then drink outside. Anyway, you aren’t allowed to drink in the house. Don’t expose my grandson!”

Li Su was about to say something when the cry of a child came from the room. Just as Li Su was about to stand up, Mother Jiang ran over quickly. “Oh, my dear grandson. Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Grandma is here!”

Jiang Xue was a little surprised. “Su Su, has my mother always been like this? How do you bear it?”

Li Su smiled. “Godmother is doing this for the sake of the children. I can tell good from bad.”

Jiang Xue shook her head. “It’s crazy. Dad, don’t be persuaded! It’s the New Year. Don’t you want to drink…”

Father Jiang had already poured milk into the glass. He took a sip, then said, “Mm, good wine!”

Jiang Xue’s eyes widened. Li Su leaned on the table and smiled.

After a while, Mother Jiang brought Little Jiangping out. Little Jiangping was 3 months old. He was pink and cute. He had big eyes with double eyelids. When he looked at you, it was like he was looking at his world. Mother and Father Jiang loved him. Even the auntie loved him. He was a very obedient child.”

Li Su often felt that the way their family was raising him, he would grow up spoiled. If he did, then he would have a similar ending.

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, Li Jiangping was 4 years old. He was in kindergarten. Because he looked good and had a sweet mouth, he was very popular with the teachers and aunties. Of course, sometimes the children would fight and others would laugh at him for not having a father.

At this time, Li Jiangping was a little sad. He had asked many people why he didn’t have a father. Godmother said that his father was dead. Grandpa said that his father was a bad guy. Grandma said that his dad was a huge liar who lied to his mother, then abandoned them. They all told him time and time again not to think about him.

When he asked his mother, his mother sighed and said that she and his father made a mistake. She found out in time and left. It was just that his father didn’t know that he existed and his mother didn’t tell him because she was afraid his father would take him away.

Li Jiangping sighed when he thought of this. He knew that his family couldn’t do without him. If his father really snatched him away and he ended up not wanting his dad, what would he do?

Forget it. He didn’t want to think about this anymore. It was almost time for the New Year’s celebrations. Godmother would be coming back soon. He anticipated what good things his godmother would bring this time. Transformers? Racing cars? What if godmother brought him a Barbie doll? He didn’t like those, but Miaomiao liked them. Girls liked those things. If he could send the doll to Miaomiao after school started, then Miaomiao would be very happy!

Li Jiangping went home and called his godmother!
