Chapter 453: It was his fault
Little Jiangbao sucked on the pacifier, letting out a soft, adorable squeaking laugh.
[Little Jiangbao is of course Mommy's, my darling daughter.]
Little Jiangbao was very proud, but then she suddenly realized that her scumbag father's gaze was very unusual.
It's like they're scrutinizing her!
Little Jiang Bao immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.
Little Jiang Bao blinked her soft, adorable eyes, trying to avoid her scumbag father's gaze. Zhan Yanxun felt increasingly uneasy. If Little Jiang Bao was Jiang Qianhui's biological daughter, then she would be his biological daughter too.
However, their biological child was said to be a boy, and he died in the hospital despite all efforts to save him.
Upon learning of his death, he was devastated and in great pain.
He had tried his best to save the child, but he couldn't.
I remember that day, the driveway was jammed with cars.
The car was stuck, so he carried the unconscious Jiang Qianhui and ran through the traffic. Jiang Qianhui was still unconscious, and the sight of the blood seeping from beneath her stung his eyes and pierced his heart.
It was his own fault for getting hit by a car. If Jiang Qianhui had been taken to the hospital faster, perhaps the baby could have been saved.
Zhan Yanxun's fingers suddenly gently stroked Xiao Jiangbao's forehead, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "How could you be my and Jiang Qianhui's child? If it were, how wonderful that would be."
Little Jiangbao was stunned. She looked at her scumbag father with a hint of heartache in her round eyes.
My scumbag dad is so sad. His deep, beautiful eyes are now filled with unyielding sorrow.
"It's all my fault. Jiang Qianhui didn't even want to tell me she was pregnant with my child, and even left with my child. If I had taken her to the hospital earlier that day, the baby could have been saved, and maybe she would have forgiven me."
Sometimes I feel resentful. Why is it that she was the one who insisted on marrying me, saying she wanted to live in my heart, yet she foolishly went to please my family?
Such a passionate girl, she stopped loving me just like that, left without a second thought, and even turned around and wanted to marry Gu Xunjing, taking my child with her.
Zhan Yanxun clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain.
Hatred lingered in his deep eyes, yet he suddenly relaxed them.
"But then I think, I can't even protect my own child. What right do I have to be resentful?"
Zhan Yanxun's sorrowful gaze was seen by Xiao Jiangbao.
Little Jiang Bao was affected by Zhan Yanxun's sadness. It seemed that his scumbag father loved his mother very much, but why did he betray his mother for another woman in his previous life and cause her family to be destroyed?
Just then, Su Mengyu walked in and was somewhat stunned when she saw the sadness between Zhan Yanxun's brows.
Zhan Yanxun, what's wrong?
I had never seen him so sad, and I wanted to comfort him.
But I don't know how to start the conversation.
He could only stand there quietly when Zhan Yanxun noticed someone had come in.
He looked up at Su Mengyu, and when their eyes met, Su Mengyu said somewhat awkwardly, "I need to do some gas-relieving exercises with the baby. The baby's digestion hasn't been good these past few days."
Su Mengyu picked up Xiao Jiangbao and started doing gas-relieving exercises for him.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she said casually, "Did something happen to you? You seem a little unhappy."
Zhan Yanxun said with a cool expression, "It's nothing."
He wouldn't say, and she couldn't ask any more questions.
People always need a sense of boundaries.
Su Mengyu silently continued to do the gas-relieving exercises for Xiao Jiangbao, just as the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Little Jiang Bao poof, spitting out a milky bottom.
[Oops~ fart~ Little Jiang Bao is so embarrassed.]
Su Mengyu laughed very happily. It was just a child's fart, but she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Is the little baby shy? It's okay, passing gas will make your tummy feel better."
Su Mengyu held Xiao Jiangbao in her arms. Xiao Jiangbao was soft and fragrant, and she really liked her.
Zhan Yanxun suddenly spoke up: "Thank you for taking care of the child. I have hired a senior childcare worker from abroad. She will be able to come and take over from you in a couple of days."
After a period of screening, a childcare worker for Xiao Jiangbao has been selected, and we can't trouble Su Mengyu any further.
Su Mengyu's heart trembled upon hearing this. To be honest, she was reluctant to leave Xiao Jiangbao, and she was also reluctant to leave Zhan Yanxun.
But she only intended it to be a temporary measure, to give Zhan Yanxun more time to find a good childcare worker.
Su Mengyu concealed her inner panic and asked, "Which childcare worker is it? Have you checked their qualifications?"
"Don't worry, she's the nanny used by the royal family of Country Y."
"That's good! I'll leave once she arrives."
"I'm sorry to trouble you during this time."
Was Zhan Yanxun apologizing to her? For someone as arrogant as him to say thank you, it must be from the bottom of his heart.
Holding Xiao Jiangbao, Su Mengyu turned to Zhan Yanxun and said, "This is my way of repaying you for saving me, so we're even."
When Su Mengyu turned around with the child in her arms, her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.
Her eyes were red, probably because she couldn't bear to part with them.
These past few days, she's been taking care of Xiao Jiangbao, treating him like her own baby. And Zhan Yanxun, watching him gently holding the baby, she's never seen such a gentle side of him before.
Now that she suddenly has to leave, she feels extremely reluctant, but thinking about it, it's better to leave sooner rather than later, since Zhan Yanxun doesn't have any feelings for her at all.
Little Jiangbao touched her cheek, as if to comfort her.
[Pretty little auntie, don't be sad, little Jiang Bao is precious.]
Su Mengyu looked down at Xiao Jiangbao.
"Little Jiang Bao, do you know that your aunt is about to leave you? Do you know that your aunt is sad and are you trying to comfort her?"
Little Jiang Bao felt sorry for Su Mengyu. Her aunt was so beautiful, how come her love life was so bumpy?
[Auntie, if no one else loves you, Little Jiangbao will.]
Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Su Mengyu carried the child to open the door, but it was her parents who came in.
Su Mengyu's parents were furious when they saw her holding the child.
Ma Zhongling pointed at her daughter Su Mengyu angrily and said, "Mengyu, you really are here. What were you thinking? You are the eldest daughter of the Su family, and you actually work as someone else's nanny here. Have you lost your mind?"
Su Mengyu knew that her parents would definitely not agree to her taking care of Zhan Yanxun's child here if they knew, so she lied to them and said that she was going out to study.
Su Shitian said angrily with a stern face, "Su Mengyu, I never thought you would lie to us. If we hadn't met the eldest young mistress of the Zhan family and heard that you were here, we wouldn't have known that our Su family's eldest daughter would be reduced to taking care of other people's children."
"Mom and Dad, let me explain."
"What's there to explain? You've completely embarrassed yourself."
Upon hearing the commotion, Zhan Yanxun pulled Su Mengyu behind him and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Su, it was I who took the liberty of asking Miss Su for my help. If you have any complaints, please take them out on me."
Su Shitian said sternly, "Zhan Yanxun, you are really something. My daughter is the noble eldest daughter of our Su family. You actually let her stay here to help you take care of your illegitimate child and treat her like a nanny. This is too much of a bullying."
