Chapter 267: 187 Come back home with me, Fourth Master turns into a scumbag [Prize Quiz]_3
"...All right, hurry up and get in the car, itâs too cold outside," Shen Zhixian pinched his little face.
But Jiangjiang still stood immovably.
"Whatâs wrong? Iâll definitely come back, otherwise, shall we pinky swear?"
"No pinky swearing; thatâs just for tricking three-year-olds."
"Then why arenât you getting in the car?"
Jiangjiang pulled out a small cell phone from his little backpack and handed it to her, "We havenât exchanged phone numbers yet."
Shen Zhixian paused, then couldnât help but laugh out loud, because Jiangjiang had been unhappy from mealtime till now, sheâd been comforting him and completely forgot about the phone number thing.
After saving the number, Jiangjiang even checked it, stood in place hesitating, then tiptoed up and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Two days! If you donât come, Iâll stop talking to you, also..."
"Donât expect me to contact you!"
He climbed into the car, clutching the cellphone, his little face all flushed!
He kissed her...
Thrilling!
Shen Zhixian stood her ground, softly laughed, and watched Jiang Yantingâs car drive away before taking a long breath, this kid, so proud, who did he learn this from.

Jiang Family
The old lady and Old Tang had breakfast, took a stroll in the small park and came back just to see Jiang Yanting carrying Jiangjiang and luggage back.
"Great-grandma!" Jiangjiang rushed over and hugged the old ladyâs legs, using too much force that if she wasnât leaning on a cane, she would have been knocked down.
"Jiangjiang, slow down." Jiang Yanting was just getting the luggage from the car.
"Ouch, wait a minute, what happened to your face? Who hit you?" The childâs skin was tender; any trace of injury was particularly conspicuous, making the old lady quite distressed.
"I fell while playing football yesterday." Jiang Yanting helped him out.
"Did you use your face to play football?" The old lady held his little face and examined it from all angles, "Why are there also bruises?"
Playing football with his face?
Jiangjiangâs little face instantly darkened.
"Hurry inside, and let me have a good look at you." The old lady grasped his little hand and headed toward the house. Fan Mingyu, seeing her little grandson with a bruised nose and face, couldnât care less about Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixianâs affairs; she also held him for a long time.
"Great-grandma, grandma, Iâm fine." Jiangjiang, in a good mood, grinned broadly.
"Did you have fun playing with Auntie? Do you like her?" The old lady, seeing him happy, was distressed yet pleased at heart.
"I like her." Jiangjiang smiled.
Old lady and Fan Mingyu exchanged glances. Jiangjiang was usually very polite, seemingly liked everyone, and greeted every lady warmly as âsisterâ, but not everyone made him this happy. It seemed that the Xie familyâs child indeed had some fate with their family.
Heading upstairs with the luggage, Jiang Yanting just happened to run into Jiang Jinsang.
"How come youâre back so early? Your eyes are a bit red, did you and sister-in-law go to bed late last night?"
"You also have dark circles, what were you up to last night?"
"While Jiangjiang is still here, you wouldnât dare do much, would you?"
"You should take more care of your health."
...
In fact, both had missed out on the âactionâ yet kept up stubborn fronts; they traded barbs at the stairwell for a long time.
"The news about you spending the night with Jiangjiang must be known to the Xie family by now," Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly.
"Weâll see what Chengsi can find out. If he canât find any clues and we canât alert the enemy prematurely, I can also bait them out ..." Jiang Yanting raised his hand, adjusting his sleeve cuff, "I want to know, if we get together, whether anyone in the Xie Family will become restless."
"Or, knowing that the child is still alive, who would lose sleep."
"Not just the Xie Family, I reckon great-grandma and the others will also have sleepless nights."

Meanwhile, abroad
Jiang Chengsi arrived last night at the place where Jiang Yanting had studied. Early this morning, he found the hospital where Shen Zhixian had once stayed, based on the information she provided.
This was the hospital she was transferred to after hemorrhaging into shock. Although he could request hospital records by providing her name, it turned up nothing, clearly well erased. Finally, he found a doctor who had left almost three years ago after remembering the names of a few medical staff members.
After asking many people, he finally heard where he lived.
Doctors had treated many patients, and there werenât many with Asian faces, so when Jiang Chengsi mentioned her, the doctorâs expression immediately changed, but he then looked at him warily: "Who are you to her?"
Jiang Chengsi couldnât exactly say he was investigating, so he made up a lie, "I am her husband..."
Such inquiries wouldnât usually merit a response from a doctor!
"I just heard from someone recently that she had a child for me, and came to inquire specifically; please help me."
"Her husband?" The doctor looked him over, "Her family said her husband had died."
"..."
Jiang Chengsi raised an eyebrow, her family? The Xie Family?
Thatâs harsh!
"I was a total jerk before, good-for-nothing, there has been some misunderstanding, so..." Jiang Chengsi, a man not used to playing by the book and excellent at lying, didnât show any sign of discomfort.
The doctor, observing him, noted the temperate climate that didnât require heavy clothing; he was dressed decently, looking like a good person, since he was here to find out about someone, he definitely couldnât come in a leather jacket, but his inherent roughness couldnât be concealed.
The doctor was astounded:
At first glance, not exactly someone that poor girl could hold onto, no wonder she was deceived.
At first glance, seemed pretty sleazy!
"Doctor, I just want to do my best to make it up to her." Jiang Chengsi coughed lowly, feeling he had sacrificed too much this time.
Just by the doctorâs look, he knew he was definitely being perceived as the kind of man that indulges in relationships without precautions, and then disappears after the deed, deceiving young women.
"That young lady left a deep impression on me because she stayed in the hospital quite long," the doctor recalled carefully.
"But if you ask me where she is? Iâm not sure; there have been no contacts since she was discharged. She suffered from severe hemorrhaging, contracted a disease, I donât know how sheâs doing now."
"I wanted to ask how she was recovering after her discharge, but the phone number she left seemed to have been deactivated; I guess sheâs probably not in this country anymore."
"But when she was brought in, her condition was very dangerous, especially since she lost a child, couldnât handle the shock, the bleeding was too severe, there wasnât much will to live."
...
Jiang Chengsi lightly twirled the recording pen in his pocket, feeling there was something odd about the way the doctor spoke.
"Doctor, what do you mean by lost one..." This phrasing was strange.
