As Dian Dian confessed about eating the candy, Jiang Wan Yu felt a sense of relief.
It seemed she had indeed been overthinking things. Lin Yi Chen wouldn’t play with Dian Dian’s health like that. The candy incident appeared to be a genuine coincidence, and Teacher Li’s anxious demeanor also seemed sincere.
After confirming this, Jiang Wan Yu turned to Dian Dian with an apologetic expression and said, “I’m sorry, Dian Dian. Mom shouldn’t have left you alone at the daycare tonight just for work. It won’t happen again.”
Even though back in the M country, she had often sent Dian Dian to daycare due to her studies, at least he had playmates and friends there.
But in China, he didn’t know anyone, and there were no familiar playmates. Unfortunately, both his parents were too occupied with work to attend to him.
Listening to Jiang Wan Yu, Dian Dian immediately shook his head and said, “Mom, no need to apologize. I know you work so hard to provide for me!”
Jiang Wan Yu’s eyes welled up with tears. She had thought she was tough enough, but her son’s understanding words made her want to cry. It felt so good to have a family member who cared about her.
No matter how hard it was, it was worth it.
“Mom isn’t working hard. As long as you’re okay, Mom’s efforts are all worth it,” Jiang Wan Yu held Dian Dian in her arms, fighting back tears.
Then, she composed herself and watched TV with Dian Dian. Since returning to China, she hadn’t spent much time with her child.
She realized that her child was the most important thing, and she wasn’t lacking in money now. She shouldn’t only focus on revenge and neglect the most important people in her life.
Seeing Jiang Wan Yu finally had time to watch TV with him, Dian Dian jumped with joy and snuggled up in her arms, giggling from time to time. Their cheerful laughter quickly dispelled Jiang Wan Yu’s feelings of sadness and guilt.
Not long after, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Yi Lingfeng, Jiang Wan Yu gently placed Dian Dian on the sofa and went to the balcony to answer the call.
“Mr. Yi, aren’t you currently at the banquet?” Jiang Wan Yu asked.
“Yes, how is Dian Dian? Is he alright?” Yi Lingfeng’s voice was low.
Jiang Wan Yu glanced at Dian Dian, who was fully engrossed in watching TV, and replied, “Yes, he’s fine. It was a false alarm.”
“That’s good. Earlier, someone from the Li family asked me why you didn’t come to the banquet,” Yi Lingfeng said, swaying a champagne glass and surveying the social elites at the event.
Hearing Yi Lingfeng’s words, Jiang Wan Yu suddenly felt weary. Even when facing Lin Yi Chen, she hadn’t felt this way.
“Is that so? I apologize, tonight was my mistake. I shouldn’t have broken my commitment,” Jiang Wan Yu said calmly.
Back when she was in the M country, she and Yi Lingfeng had minimal professional interactions, maintaining a distance between them. However, after returning to China, she discovered how deep Yi Lingfeng’s intentions ran.
She couldn’t help but wonder if their fake marriage had been premeditated by him. If even the sham marriage had been meticulously planned, then this person… truly was too formidable.
At that time, she hadn’t even known the connection between Yi Lingfeng and the Yi family from the Zhou family. Yet, he had already thoroughly investigated her.
