Chapter 1266: The Truth
"I don’t know either, I’ve never thought about it," Jiang Xinyu said in a low voice, afraid someone might hear and find it too awkward.
"I know I definitely can’t do it," Qian Jun said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Jiang Xinyu was unsure how to respond.
Meanwhile, they were still drinking, but Wei Kaiyun was always attentive to his wife, which was a habit he had developed. Seeing his wife’s troubled expression, he just knew it wasn’t something good, even though he couldn’t hear what they were saying.
"Xiao Wei, are you really planning to stay outside for a long time?" Xiao Changde asked. He had a pretty good relationship with Jiang Xinyu, as the young woman had helped him solve a big problem, so he was very concerned about them.
Wei Kaiyun remembered Xinyu had brought lumber from the Northeast for Xiao Changde, which had helped him tremendously.
"At least for these years, our family won’t move. If it weren’t for taking the kids’ teacher to the Capital for treatment, we wouldn’t have moved."
Dong Weimin leaned closer, "Xiao Wei, are you worried about the unrest?"
Wei Kaiyun nodded, "Yes, I was carefree before, but now I have a wife and kids, I don’t want any danger. I have to be responsible for them."
Everyone understood what he meant. They were also cautious at that time. Although the current case seemed honest, you never know when they might act.
In the past, they would occasionally gather, but in recent years, they haven’t gathered at all, just to avoid trouble.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Wei Kaiyun and Jiang Xinyu, they wouldn’t have all come here.
"Your concern is valid," Shen Shinan nodded.
"I have no choice, plus what Xinyu said is what I thought too; while the kids are still young, we accompany them. When they grow up, they’ll venture out, and it’s unrealistic to be with them then."
"You..."
Yang Haitao leaned closer to Wei Kaiyun and whispered, "Xiao Wei, what were you thinking then? Xiao Jiang was only in her teens, and you could bear to act?"
"I was also in my twenties then. Besides, we were together only after Xinyu became an adult," Wei Kaiyun said, feeling embarrassed. In their eyes, he seemed worse than a beast.
Though he slightly felt that way, he would never admit it.
"You’re such a beast, Xiao Jiang was unlucky to catch your eye," Shen Shinan joked.
Wei Kaiyun laughed, "Don’t speak the truth."
Everyone knew Wei Kaiyun’s character; he was ruthless. That’s why the county’s big leaders treat him differently.
If he disagrees with something, it simply won’t pass. Not only will this group follow him, but even some leaders will align with him.
That’s why, whenever there’s something important, they’d consult Wei Kaiyun in advance.
That’s the good thing about him, which is also why he gained their approval.
He would never betray any of them. If there’s a need to take responsibility, he certainly won’t evade it.
Sun Baosheng looked at the time, "Let’s head out. It’s getting late, and the kids are still young."
"What’s the rush? We seldom go out," Yang Haitao said.
"Let’s go, Old Sun is right. Xiao Wei and Xiao Jiang have returned. We’ve been hosting guests for several days, it’s too conspicuous," Shen Shinan agreed.
"Alright, who knows when we’ll meet again after this."
With that thought, Wei Kaiyun made it clear; if it weren’t for coming to the Capital, they wouldn’t have returned.
After exchanging a few cordial words, everyone left one by one.
Wei Kaiyun saw Qian Jun still sitting there.
Now, only their family and him were left.
"Shi Xian, would you tell Uncle Qian about the situation at that time?"
Jiang Feifei already knew and came over, "Uncle Qian, let me tell it instead." Actually, this was discussed among the three of them, wanting Qian Jun to know about the situation.
Jianbin really disliked Gu Xiaoyu, and naturally, the younger siblings sided with him to vent for their brother.
That’s why the three of them were giving Qian Jun that look.
The little girl, articulate, described the situation at that time.
Wei Kaiyun saw Qian Jun’s hand veins bulging.
"Director Wei, I’d like to ask Mr. Han about it."
"Alright, let’s go. Let’s head home. Old Han should be home by now."
Qian Jun wanted to carry Shi Xian, but was rejected. He then picked up Tingting.
The little girl didn’t mind, as long as her parents were around, she wouldn’t refuse being carried by strangers, unlike Shi Xian.
"Xinyu, you push the stroller,"
Jiang Xinyu seated the three children in the stroller and pushed it.
Arriving home, seeing the door latched from inside, they knew Han Xiangjun was back.
Upon noticing an unfamiliar man coming along, Han Xiangjun nodded slightly and carried down Feifei.
"Uncle Han, I can walk on my own."
"I carry my treasure."
Feifei felt helpless.
"Old Han, this is Qian Jun."
Han Xiangjun raised an eyebrow, glanced at the three children, and shook hands with Qian Jun.
Jiang Xinyu held the two little ones and called the three children to leave, "I’ll take the children to wash up."
Now there were just three men left inside.
Jiang Xinyu prepared water for the three older ones, allowing them to wash up, then returned to her room with the two small ones to wash up, took off their outer garments, and let them play on the kang.
The three older ones also got on the kang. Feifei leaned against her mom; this action was exclusive to Feifei. If someone else did it, Shi Xian would definitely pull them away, even Wei Kaiyun couldn’t do it.
Feifei quietly recounted the morning’s situation.
"Mom, that Aunt Gu looked at Uncle Han like a puppy seeing a meaty bone."
Jiang Xinyu laughed out loud, "You three didn’t think it through.
Think about it, if Uncle Qian and that Aunt Gu broke up, is there a chance she’d want to be Jianbin’s stepmother?"
The three children shook their heads, "Mom, our Uncle Han isn’t that blind!"
Jiang Xinyu forced a laugh; it seemed the three children had considered this possibility. That’s good, it’s important to think through matters.
Shi Xian wanted to play horseback riding. Jianbin accompanied him, and Jiang Xinyu shook her head, the little tyrant’s personality was cultivated this way.
"Mom, no eating out tomorrow?"
"Yes, but not at a restaurant. We’ll go to Aunt Qiao’s house instead. What’s wrong, don’t feel like going?"
The two children nodded, "Mom, can we go to Uncle Lv’s house tomorrow?"
Jiang Xinyu didn’t force the children, so she nodded in agreement.
"Mom, will you still invite others to dinner after tomorrow?"
"Yes, mom has friends too, you’ve met them before. It’s Aunt Pan, do you remember anything?"
Feifei nodded, "Is it that Aunt Pan who works as a secretary?"
"Yes, that’s her. We’ll go to the restaurant together with Aunt Wang’s family."
"Alright, there’s Sister Xiangting, otherwise it would be too boring."
