Di Jianhan didn't rush him for an answer, patted his shoulder with a weathered hand, and turned to leave.
The next day.
Jiang Ziyu went downstairs with Qianqian and was stopped by Di Jianhan, who had just emerged from his room, at the bottom of the stairs.
Expecting to face humiliation, she was surprised when Di Jianhan greeted Jiang Ziyu and asked if he could hold Qianqian.
In her surprise, Jiang Ziyu watched Di Jianhan's outstretched hand.
As he had said, he asked, his arm stopping a few centimeters away from Qianqian, without any intrusive or grabbing motion.
For a moment, she couldn't quite figure out his intentions.
"She is Mingjue's child, with the Di family blood flowing through her. Seeing her is like seeing Mingjue when he was clingy as a child," Di Jianhan said to Qianqian with emotion.
Perhaps it was the bloodline, but Qianqian surprisingly reached out and allowed Di Jianhan to hold her.
This move delighted Di Jianhan.
A few minutes later, happy playful sounds filled the main hall.
Di Jianhan coaxed Qianqian into giggling, lowering himself to the floor to play with her.
This scene filled Jiang Ziyu with a sense of unease.
Could she still take her away? Or, if he could accept Qianqian, could he accept Xiaoran and Yuze?
As she stood in a daze, her shoulder was lightly patted.
"Sister Ziyu, something on your mind?" Lu Sisi sat beside her, boldly examining her.
Her thoughts interrupted, Jiang Ziyu shook her head in response, "No."
Lu Sisi didn't believe her but didn't press the issue. She looked at the father and daughter ahead and asked with a smile, "Bloodline is a truly terrifying thing. No matter if you've lived together or not, it can't stop the emotional connection of the same bloodline."
Jiang Ziyu looked at her thoughtfully.
"I heard Uncle talked with Brother Mingjue for a long time last night. Seeing Uncle's state today, it seems their conversation was very successful," Lu Sisi said to herself.
Jiang Ziyu, with her discerning taste for "green tea" (a term for manipulative women), lowered her head with a smile.
"What are you smiling about?" Lu Sisi looked at her, unable to fathom her reaction.
Jiang Ziyu waved her hand, "Just thinking of something amusing."
Lu Sisi didn't believe her. She looked Jiang Ziyu up and down, and in her relaxed and at ease expression, a sense of dissatisfaction arose within her.
"Sister Ziyu, I know my presence makes you uncomfortable."
"You're overthinking it, I'm not uncomfortable."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted. Lu Sisi realized Jiang Ziyu seemed to see through her innermost thoughts.
She questioned again to verify, "Really? I thought you wouldn't want me to stay at the Di mansion."
"No need to doubt, I won't pay attention to whatever you do."
Lu Sisi was completely stunned. Jiang Ziyu was like a worm in her belly, knowing her thoughts and doubts so clearly.
Such a formidable woman, it was no wonder Di Mingjue was so devoted to her.
Lu Sisi could no longer maintain her pretense. Seeing that Di Mingjue was not around, she boldly moved closer to Jiang Ziyu, "What about replacing your position?"
A naked challenge?
Jiang Ziyu's eyes emanated coldness.
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability!"
She had been thinking about this for days, and only just now did she feel that one shouldn't shy away from problems. Di Mingjue had repeatedly shown her his sincerity and attitude; why couldn't she be brave once and strive for a happy life for herself and her children?
A flash of lightning, and the battle commenced.
After the challenge was issued, the battle of women began in the Di mansion.
In front of Di Mingjue, Lu Sisi disguised herself as a good sister, deliberately using the guise of sisterhood to engage in intimate behavior. All of this challenged Jiang Ziyu's patience.
"Brother Mingjue, are you going to the company?"
"Mm."
Ever since the wound on Jiang Ziyu's chest had healed, Di Mingjue had begun to go to the company to work as usual. Coupled with the matters of the Jiang Corporation, Jiang Ziyu accompanied him to the company.
