Meng Yuan chuckled, "Show me your celestial book."
Jiang Yukuo smiled proudly, finding Meng Yuan's naive sweetness easy to exploit. "That's simple. If there's no book in heaven, there's one in my heart."
Meng Yuan gave him a thumbs-up, utterly impressed. "This kid will achieve great things. Are you amazing?"
She took a bite of the dessert from the crystal cup and instantly felt her mood lift, her happiness overflowing.
She looked at Jiang Nuan and asked in surprise, "What did you make for me? After eating it, I feel so much better."
Jiang Nuan looked at her and smiled meaningfully. "You're heartbroken. I made you mango pomelo sago. Can't you tell?"
Meng Yuan looked at the crystal cup. The color inside was beautiful, a clear yellow. The mangoes were fresh, the sago was soft and chewy, and the sweetness was just right. She loved it.
"It's too beautiful to eat. This is the first time I've eaten such a blissful dessert!"
Meng Yuan was incredibly touched. It was rare for Jiang Nuannuan to put in such effort and make her something delicious. It depended on the boss's mood.
She absolutely had to lick the cup clean; otherwise, she wouldn't be doing justice to Jiang Nuan's rare act of warmth.
Jiang Nuan was highly capable and learned everything quickly. This led to an extreme contrast: when she was incredibly busy, Jiang Nuan, the boss, would leisurely sit by the window, drinking tea and admiring the scenery, living a life as elegant as poetry.
Jiang Nuan glanced at the time and looked at the three darlings. She felt a pang of reluctance. "Darlings, the school bus is coming. Finish eating quickly and go to school. Once you're at school, focus on your studies and don't let your mind wander."
The three babies nodded.
"Mom, you shouldn't let your mind wander either."
The three little dumplings finished their food in a flash, returned to their rooms to pack, and waited for the school bus outside.
A few minutes later, a Rolls-Royce picked up the three siblings.
Meng Yuan watched the children leave, then took out her phone and transferred a million to Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan looked at the unexpected windfall, surprised, and asked Meng Yuan, "Didn't you lose everything? Where did you get the money?"
Meng Yuan smiled, a very happy smile, and winked for a good while. "Yesterday, your son helped me get it back. You gave me three percent of your shares, didn't you? How could I not invest anything? You're even reduced to live streaming sales, so how could I not invest? At least you won't lack material costs."
Jiang Nuan stared with her pure and lovely big eyes. Her lips were redder than usual from eating the spicy food. Her fair skin had a faint blush, and paired with those pure, slightly misty eyes, she looked so soft and utterly captivating.
"Nuannuan, in the future, never show this expression in front of men. I fear the outside world might suddenly collapse, and you'll become a sinner of this world." That face was so beautiful it could attract both men and women. She couldn't handle it.
Damn it, if she had a face that could topple cities, she could walk sideways anywhere.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"What are you talking about? I'm just admiring my son. How did they get so much of your money back all at once?"
Were her three "simple, cute, and kind-hearted" darlings really that capable?
Jiang Nuan felt her tail almost wagging to the sky.
Meng Yuan was astonished again. "You're truly a stepmother. Don't you know your three darlings are scholarly and skilled, immensely talented, and worldly-wise? Dealing with an incompetent like Shu Cheng, they only needed a slight effort to send that scumbag to hell." Meng Yuan spoke vividly, looking at Jiang Nuan with envy and jealousy.
She wished she had three handsome darlings like that.
Jiang Nuan shook her head. "All I know is that for years, I've had to worry about my three children becoming too intelligent, and I, as their mother, can't control them."
Meng Yuan: "..." This was blatant bragging again!
"Enough, stop showing off. I'm just envious. But don't forget about going to Grandma's place tomorrow," Meng Yuan reminded her again.
Jiang Nuan looked at her eagerness and became suspicious. "Are you in such a hurry? Is the other party offering a lot of money?"
Meng Yuan nodded vigorously. "Jiang Nuannuan, your intelligence sometimes stops at the prenatal education level. It's purely for the money that I'm so eager."
Jiang Nuan was very curious. Who was Jiang Shuo?
Why was the other party still investigating?
Meng Yuan looked at Jiang Nuan and said, "Nuannuan, I found that twenty years ago, Jiang Shuo was the assistant to the CEO of Gu family in Modu, but he resigned after a year and returned to Jinshi to develop. Two years later, the company's scale gradually expanded, and he married and had children in the same year. However, I only found the birth record for Jiang Qing. Neither yours nor Jiang Xingyu's?"
Jiang Nuan looked at her with confusion, her heart sinking. "Are you implying that Jiang Xingyu isn't their biological child either?"
Meng Yuan shook her head sharply. "I didn't say that. It's possible that Jiang Xingyu is..."
"No, Jiang Xingyu should have been born first. Why is there no record of his birth?" Meng Yuan belatedly realized the problem.
Jiang Nuan thought for a moment and then asked, "What about Liu Fei's child? Did you find the hospital where they were born?"
Meng Yuan tapped her phone and showed it to her. "I found it. He's the same age as Jiang Xingyu, but I couldn't find the birth hospital for Jiang Xingyu or you. Could it be that you and Jiang Xingyu were both adopted?"
"Damn!" Jiang Nuan was shocked by Meng Yuan's conjecture.
"What's with the 'damn'? What I'm saying is very likely the truth. Didn't you say your elder brother was very good to you? It's just that he was mostly abroad and rarely returned to China."
"That's true, but it doesn't prove that Jiang Xingyu and I were adopted. That's too unbelievable." Jiang Nuan didn't believe this possibility.
Meng Yuan narrowed her beautiful eyes and put away her phone.
"We'll know if we investigate."
Jiang Nuan looked at her. "You go investigate. I need to prepare for the grand opening."
Meng Yuan's million yuan was truly a timely help.
With sufficient funds, the grand opening would be auspicious!
"Alright, you focus on your grand opening, and I'll investigate this matter carefully. Maybe I can even find your biological parents."
Jiang Nuan didn't dare to hope for such a thing, but thinking of Jiang Shuo's words, hope reignited in her heart.
Jiang Shuo seemed to know something?
She smiled, hiding her expectation. "What a peculiar idea you have."
"Nuannuan, you never know. What if we really find your biological parents?"
Jiang Nuan pursed her lips and smiled. "Then I'll be very grateful to you."
Meng Yuan stood up and said, "Then I'll get started. Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Nuan: "Yes! Be careful. If you can't do it alone, find a partner."
Meng Yuan thought about it. The idea seemed good. "Ah, that's a good idea. We partnered up quite well before, but now you're busy with the wellness center and dealing with Madam He. You really can't help much on my end. I'll see if I can find someone suitable to partner with me."
