Jiang Heyu was really gone. After Hua Lai came out of Min Kai's office, he was worried for a while, but he didn't see the ghost of Jiang Heyu, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
She really doesn't like to meet him.
Having just taken over a new job, Hua Lai is quite busy, and Min Kai has a full schedule for her.
Shooting commercials, taking photos, preparing for variety shows.
After taking a break and returning to work again, Hua Lai felt tired and fulfilled.
However, after that day, Jiang Heyu didn't harass her again, which made her relieved but also a little confused.
————
Jiang Heyu rushed back to the company to attend an emergency meeting. After driving for a while, he started to stop and go. He frowned impatiently and moved his eyes from the laptop screen to the window.
Zhao Ling explained: "There is a school in front, and there are private cars occupying the road at this point."
Jiang Heyu was obviously dissatisfied with this answer.
It was Zhao Ling's fault for not planning the driving route, but Zhao Ling had no choice. He had walked this road many times, and this was the first time he encountered a traffic jam.
The school must have held some kind of activity. Many children were wearing uniforms. There were many parents coming to the school to participate. It was time to leave and there were more cars.
Jiang He is more sensitive to "children" than he is now.
Hua Lai said on the show that she has a daughter. Jiang Heyu inevitably thought that this child was his.
If it were really my own child, he would be almost five years old now and would be of school age.
Jiang He and the child looking out the car window with beautiful makeup raised the corners of their mouths slightly without knowing it.
"So cute."
Zhao Ling turned his head: "What?"
Jiang Heyu smiled and said: "Nothing, let's see if we can get around it."
Zhao Ling cut out several navigation routes and looked at them: "This road is the fastest."
Jiang He and then didn't speak anymore.
In two or three minutes, the car moved no more than ten meters, and Jiang Heyu felt a little irritated by the wait.
He opened the door and got out of the car: "I'll go by myself!"
It would be much faster to walk around this section of road and then take the bus ahead than to wait here.
Zhao Ling wanted to stop him, but he had already left with his cane and notebook.
"uncle!"
A childish voice sounded from behind Jiang He, very close to him.
He instinctively turned his head to look at the source of the sound. In the car he just passed by, a little girl with braids was lowering the window and waving to him excitedly: "Uncle!"
Jiang He's face became gentle again. He fell back, bent down and waved to Ping Ping to say hello: "Ping Ping, do you go to school here?"
The driver's cab window was lowered, and the driver of the Xu family greeted Jiang Heyu: "Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Heyu nodded, and Pingping said happily: "Uncle, we have a show today!"
Jiang Heyu looked very interested: "Oh? So what is Pingping performing?"
Pingping: "Our class performed the peacock dance, but my performance was not good and I was not very skilled." She was a little frustrated.
Many children in domestic kindergartens have been taught peacock dance, but Pingping, who has lived abroad since she was a child, has not learned much about Chinese dance.
Jiang Heyu touched her head: "There must be something great about Pingping."
Ping Ping: "I'm very good at painting. Can I draw my uncle well?"
Jiang Heyu: "Okay, can you show me the painting after it's finished?"
Pingping: "Of course, our homework this week is to draw a portrait, and I want to draw my uncle!"
The car in front started to move.
The driver of the Xu family saw that Ping Ping and Jiang He were chatting animatedly and was reluctant to rush them, but the car behind them started honking their horns.
Driver: "Mr. Jiang, where are you going? Do you need to be dropped off?"
Jiang Heyu looked at Zhao Ling who was in the back row, thought for a second, opened the car door and got into the back row, sitting down next to Pingping: "Sorry, just exit this intersection."
After saying that, he looked at Pingping again: "Why did you think of Uncle Hua?" He felt warm in his heart. He could see that this little girl liked him, and he also liked him.
Pingping said seriously: "I don't have a father, but I want to draw a picture of my father. Can you be my father for once?"
Jiang Heyu tilted his head and thought, but he was really in a dilemma.
He was wondering if his daughter would be jealous when she saw Pingping?
Pingping looked at Jiang Heyu with expectant eyes and explained: "You and dad look alike, but I have only seen his photo once, and I can't remember what he looks like."
Jiang He and his heart softened.
Ping pouted and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, uncle, it's my fault. I was so happy when I saw your uncle that I forgot what my mother said, uncle has a baby, and I want to keep a distance from you..."
It's so pitiful and endearing.
Jiang He and Ping Ping thought about their life experience. They only had two mothers and their father had only met once. It was really heartbreaking.
Jiang Heyu: "I can be your father for once, and next time I will introduce my little baby to you, okay? She is also very cute, and you may become friends!"
Ping Ping's eyes were bright: "Really, uncle? Can we be friends?"
The horoscope has not yet been discussed, but when Jiang Heyu talked about it, he vowed: "Of course!"
Ping Ping was so excited that she almost hugged Jiang Heyu's neck!
If you become friends with your uncle's daughter, of course you can often play with your friend's father!
He really feels like a dad!
Ping Ping took out her phone watch and said very politely: "Uncle, can you leave your phone number? I'll draw it and show it to you!"
Jiang Heyu earnestly stored his number in Pingping's watch: "You must show it to me as soon as possible."
Ping Ping nodded seriously.
At the intersection, Jiang He and Yi reluctantly got out of the car, and then got into Zhao Ling's car behind them.
Zhao Ling sweated and asked casually: "It seems to be the Xu family's car."
Jiang Heyu: "How do you know?"
Zhao Ling: "I saw it last time at the airport. Xu Xingshu was on it?"
Jiang Heyu smiled like this. It was definitely not Xu Xingshu in the car. He was just trying to get something out of his mouth.
Jiang He never expected that the biggest "traitor" around him was Zhao Ling, who knew everything about him! He truthfully shared: "It's Ping Ping, Xu Xingshu's niece, whom you met at the hot spring last time."
Zhao Ling: "What are you talking about so happily?"
Jiang He and Da Fei asked: "The little girl is very pitiful, she has no father."
Zhao Ling thought to himself, it's not your fault.
Jiang Heyu: "I haven't met her mother yet. Do you think they just threw Xu Xingshu away without taking care of the child?"
Zhao Ling: "Who knows."
Jiang Heyu said this, obviously he still didn't know Pingping's true identity, it was enough for Zhao Ling to know this.
Jiang Heyu: "I don't know how Xu Xingshu's business is doing now. Do you know?"
Zhao Ling shook his head.
He definitely knows something, even more than Hua Lai.
Xu Xingshu was forced to pay debts by the bank and was in dire straits.
But there was no need for him to tell Jiang He and this.
It was dark again when Hua Lai got home. As usual, she wanted to go see Ping Ping first.
Ping Ping has fallen asleep, and there are some drawing papers scattered on the desk.
Hua Lai kissed Ping Ping on the forehead, then smiled and cleared the table for her.
There was a lot of scrap paper on the desktop, with only some outlines drawn on it. Obviously, I was not satisfied with it, so it was discarded.
Hua Lai didn't notice before. She knew that her daughter loved sketching, but when she went to clean up the back, she found something was wrong. Why did this outline look like... Jiang Heyu!
She looked at several more pictures, and there must be a more complete one at the back. She was sure that this was Jiang Heyu!
She didn't know how much Jiang Heyu knew! But obviously, he was getting close to Pingping! They had met at the hot spring last time!
Hua Lai couldn't care less and immediately called Jiang Heyu. As soon as the number was dialed, she calmed down again and hung up before the call was connected.
If Jiang Heyu didn't know about this, wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he asked it himself?
Maybe Pingping just drew it based on the photo she saw before?
She breathed a sigh of relief and decided to ask Pingping tomorrow so that everything would be clearer.
She patted her forehead and told herself not to be taken aback, but to stay calm when encountering Jiang Heyu!
After clearing the table, she turned off the lights. Just as she closed the door for Ping Ping and came out, the phone in her hand rang. Afraid of waking Ping Ping, she immediately clicked through and then noticed that the note for the call was: Jiang He.
