Chapter 93: Grandpa Discovers Su Taotao's Little Secret
"I'll leave my words here. If you don't want to send Su Qiran away, you can leave Taotao alone. When Su Jingyi comes back, I will discuss with him the adoption of Taotao to the second wife."
After the old man said this, he raised his feet and prepared to leave.
"Taotao is my child. She was born in my ten-month pregnancy. I will never agree to this matter."
Jiang Shuyuan disagreed with the old man's decision to adopt his daughter.
"You are here shouting to me that Taotao is your biological child. Did you notice the burden on Taotao just now?"
The old man sneered and suddenly talked about the baggage, which made Jiang Shuyuan confused.
"What baggage?"
Jiang Shuyuan didn't understand what the old man meant at all. They were not talking about Taotao, so how could they involve Taotao's burden?
"The baggage Taotao carries is the baggage she carries when she goes home."
"Jiang Shuyuan, Taotao has been home for so many days, and she hasn't even taken out the things in the bag she brought home at the beginning. Do you know what this means?"
The old man revealed the answer for Jiang Shuyuan without waiting for Jiang Shuyuan to answer.
"This means that Taotao never thought about staying. She didn't take out the things in the bag and put them away because she was ready to leave here at any time."
"As a mother, you can't even make your child stay at home willingly. Are you really worthy of being Taotao's mother?"
This sentence made Jiang Shuyuan freeze on the spot, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
By the time she came to her senses, the old man had already walked away and was almost invisible.
"Liangqing?"
Su Qiran waited in the room for a long time, but no one came back, so she came out to see what was going on.
"Qi Ran, why did you come out barefoot?"
Jiang Shuyuan looked back when she heard the sound and saw Su Qiran walking out barefoot. She quickly picked her up and went back to the room.
Su Qiran could feel Jiang Shuyuan's care, so she hugged Jiang Shuyuan's neck obediently, which was completely different from her unreasonable behavior just now.

"Dad, why are you here?"
He Zhixin was helping Su Taotao comb her hair in Su Taotao's yard. Su Taotao and Su Qiran had been fighting just now, and their hair was all messy.
When she combed Taotao's hair and put on new hair accessories, she saw the old man standing at the door, and no maid made a sound.
She was a little surprised that she didn't hear the footsteps, and she didn't know how long the old man had been standing here.
"Do you and Taotao have anything to say?"
The old man asked bluntly.
"If not, I have something to tell Taotao, and you can go about your business."
"I don't have anything to say to Taotao. Since Dad has something to talk to Taotao, I will deal with it first. The maid in Taotao's yard came to me in a hurry just now, and my matter has not been dealt with yet.
Okay."
He Zhixin saw that the old man seemed to have something important to say to Su Taotao, so she quickly smiled and said that she had something to do, and then turned around and left, leaving space for her grandfather and grandson.
"Taotao, grandpa wants to say something to you today. Can we, grandpa and grandson, talk about what's on our minds?"
After He Zhixin left, the old man walked up to Su Taotao and squatted down, talking to Su Taotao face to face.
"good."
Su Taotao nodded obediently, and the little bell on her head made a crisp sound.
"Grandpa asked you, were you very clear from the beginning that your mother was not He Zhixin, but Jiang Shuyuan?"
The old man's first question was overwhelming.
When he left Jiang Shuyuan's yard just now, he had been thinking about these things in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very problematic.
Su Taotao's attitude towards Jiang Shuyuan was very repulsive from the beginning. When I didn't think much about it before, I just thought it was because Jiang Shuyuan had a bad attitude towards Su Taotao when they first met after Su Taotao returned home.
Because Su Taotao held a grudge, her attitude toward Jiang Shuyuan was always very bad.
But he thought about what happened during this period. In the past, Su Taotao was always lazy, and she could shrug her shoulders indifferently when being bullied, and the incident would pass easily.
Recently, Su Taotao has begun to show off her sharpness, and every counterattack against Jiang Shuyuan is too precise.
Every time Su Taotao fought back, she succeeded in making Jiang Shuyuan feel a little apologetic towards her, and then hesitated between her and Su Qiran, not knowing who should be nicer to her.
Thinking of Su Taotao's quirky appearance, the old man suddenly had a guess. Perhaps Su Taotao knew who was her biological mother from the beginning.
Taotao most likely mistakenly admitted her mother on purpose.
After all, the quirky Su Taotao didn't look like a child who could endure grievances, but Taotao tolerated Jiang Shuyuan several times.
If Su Taotao knew who was her mother from the beginning, she would have found a reason for Jiang Shuyuan's retreat.
As for the current intolerance, it is naturally because I feel cold towards Jiang Shuyuan.
"Taotao knows."
Su Taotao saw that her grandfather had discovered her little secret. After a little hesitation, she confessed the truth directly.
"From the beginning, Taotao knew very well that my mother is my little aunt, and my eldest uncle is my biological mother."
"But so what?"
Before the old man could say anything, Su Taotao tilted her head and asked.
"She can recognize others as her daughter and let others take my place. Why can't I recognize others as my mother and be someone else's daughter?"
Su Taotao's words made the old man swallow back everything he originally wanted to say.
"Taotao is just following the example. Master said that the most important part of the meaning of parents' existence is to teach by words and deeds, and use their own actions to teach good children who are well-behaved and sensible."
"She doesn't want me, and I don't want her. She thinks other people's children are better, and I also think other people's mothers are better."
"What's wrong with this?"
Jiang Shuyuan taught by words and deeds, and she followed suit. Su Taotao felt that there was nothing wrong with her behavior.
"On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong."
The old man's words were all shattered by Su Taotao's words.
He suddenly felt that Su Taotao knew everything. In fact, Su Taotao knew the truth he wanted to tell Su Taotao.
It was because she knew so well that Su Taotao decisively chose He Zhixin to be her mother on the first day she returned home.
The first time mother and daughter met, it was because of a gift from Su Qiran that they successfully made Su Taotao realize that it was impossible for them to get along well.
Therefore, Su Taotao chose the best choice for herself - He Zhixin, who likes girls but does not have a daughter, and is often soft-hearted. This chapter has been completed!
