But it's been five years, and it's not easy to get back.

When Mu Rann found out that Jiang Xiying was planning to return to the country to develop, she raised the issue of Jiang Rann's upbringing. In the few years she had been abroad, if she did not have an official identity, it would be very easy for her to be sent back to the country.

They had also graduated a long time ago. When Mu Rann proposed to be a couple, Jiang Xiying hesitated for a long time.

However, as she watched Jiang Rann grow up, she couldn't help but think of her future.

If she asked who her father was and why he did not come to see her, how would she deal with this series of troublesome problems?

Mu Rann told her not to worry about these things. He would tell the Mu family that they were already married abroad and had a daughter. For the sake of Jiang Rann's growth, Jiang Xiying agreed.

Jiang Xiying and Mu Rann had been helping each other while they were abroad for the past few years. On the surface, they pretended to be husband and wife, but in reality, they were each developing their own careers.

Jiang Xiying, on the other hand, refused to let Jiang Rann take Mu Rann's surname. Even though the Mu family, which was still being encouraged, was very concerned about the matter of surname. Even when Jiang Xiying was scolded, she never gave in.

Mu Rann was very considerate. In the past five years, Jiang Xiying had been very grateful and had vowed that she would make it up to him when she became rich in the future.

But...

The lights outside the window were bright. Jiang Xiying withdrew her long thoughts and her eyes turned red.

But now Mu Rann's personality seemed to have changed as well. Although she still supported her as usual, Jiang Xiying knew very well that no man would willingly help another woman who did not love him.

Not to mention, this woman had a child with her.

Jiang Xiying understood that it would be difficult for him too.

At this time, in the Qiao family, Han Yuzhu had already tied her apron. She had not seen Qiao Zhe eat a good meal in the past few days. It was her fault that she had been so preoccupied with thinking about how to marry Qiao Zhe that she had forgotten the small details of her life.

Han Yuzhu's expression did not change, but a faint smile remained on her face. She washed the dishes in the sink like a good wife and mother. She specially cut a plate of Red Heart Fire Dragon Fruit so that the housekeeper of the Qiao family could rest at the side.

She went into the kitchen alone and began to study the dishes.

Just as she was worrying, a small head poked its way in. Han Yuzhu turned her head to look at it and the calm in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Chen looked at Han Yuzhu as if he was looking for someone. "Auntie, have you seen my father?"

Han Yuzhu hated Qiao Zichen the most. When she thought of this bastard, the hatred in her heart could not be hidden.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Chen was stunned. Although he was young, he knew a lot of things. This aunt was trying to get close to his father. Although he didn't know what she was trying to do, she must be up to something.

Qiao Xiaochen, who had never liked Han Yuzhu, pushed open the glass sliding door to the kitchen and walked in. She wanted to reach out and grab Han Yuzhu's wrist to chase her out of the Qiao family.

How could Han Yuzhu deal with a child? When she saw Qiao Xiaochen walking over, she could not help but feel a wave of anger in her heart.

Since Qiao Zhe and the Old Madam were not around, she would take this opportunity to teach this little brat a lesson and vent the anger in her heart!

She grabbed the back of Qiao Xiaochen's collar and lifted him up with great force. Then she gave him a fierce kick.

Qiao Xiaochen did not cry. Her face was red as she struggled. She turned around and bit down on Han Yuzhu's arm.

"Ah! Are you born in the year of the dog?"

Han Yuzhu's loud cry alerted the nanny who was eating fruit in the living room. "Miss Han, what's the matter?"

Han Yuzhu was momentarily stunned. She had completely forgotten about this person. She picked up the water bottle next to her and threw it at Qiao Xiaochen.

At the same time, she threw herself to the side. It was only when the hot water splashed out of the kettle and scalded Han Yuzhu's wrist that she realized the water in the kettle had just been boiled.

Beside her, Qiao Xiaochen's shoulder was bright red. In the blink of an eye, a layer of water bubbles appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the maid pushed the door open, she saw what happened. The crying made her mother run downstairs. When she saw what was in the kitchen, her heart turned cold.

Han Yuzhu's pear blossoms fell like rain. "Auntie, I'm sorry. If it wasn't for Little Chen coming to the kitchen to cause trouble, I wouldn't have been able to keep an eye on him. This is all..."

Han Yuzhu could not speak coherently. Mother Qiao's face was dark. She wanted to scold Han Yuzhu, but she rationally dialed Qiao Zhe's number. In less than two minutes, Qiao Zhe rushed back and sent Qiao Xiaochen straight to the hospital.

The child, however, was too young, and had been badly scalded.

In fact, the domestic experts in this area were limited. The priority treatment should be given to foreign experts.

Qiao Zhe did not hesitate and personally sent Qiao Xiaochen out of the country for treatment. He accompanied Qiao Xiaochen throughout the entire process.

At the same time, he also dissolved the marriage between the Qiao family and the Han family and made it public.

After what had happened, Han Yuzhu had suffered a unanimous blow from the Han family. She had failed to climb up the tree known as the Qiao family and all the blame fell on Han Yuzhu alone.

She had cut off her source of income and made use of the Han family's reputation to let her work outside and gain experience.

However, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Although Han Yuzhu had to rely on herself, she still managed to get the position of chief editor at the newspaper.

When Jiang Xiying found out about this incident, she tried calling Han Yuzhu a few times, but she ended up hanging up on her mercilessly.

Jiang Xiying seemed to have expected this and did not continue to be a good person.

After Qiao Zhe arranged Qiao Xiaochen's life abroad, he returned to the country alone to deal with official matters. After an interview with Jiang Xiying, he let her directly into a newspaper under his name.

Jiang Xiying did not refuse. After settling down, she brought Jiang Rann back to the country. At the same time, Mu Rann also returned to the country.

Jiang Xiying, who had shown her face at the Mu Family, naturally didn't get much of a good impression. She brought Jiang Rann straight back to their residence.

Life finally settled down, but Jiang Xiying's work began to get busy because of it. Because she was too close to Qiao Zhe, it caused all the women on the newspaper to have a dark expression on their faces.

Jiang Xiying had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and do her job well, ignoring the gossip outside the window.

Jiang Xiying had been very tired these days. After coming out of the newspaper office, she did not flag down a taxi and went straight back. She wanted to walk alone.

Qiao Zhe had been waiting outside for Jiang Xiying because he was worried about her. However, when he saw that Jiang Xiying had no intention of flagging down a taxi and leaving, he walked away as if he had something else to do.

So she asked the driver to follow her and see the lights of the car. He had a bad feeling about it, because he was worried that Jiang Xiying would be hit by the unknown car, so he told his driver to speed up and stop the car's next move.

"Fortunately, I stopped him in time." Qiao Zhe heaved a sigh of relief and got out of the car.

Jiang Xiying's mind, which was wandering on the road, was empty. How could she have noticed the car? She only reacted when Qiao Zhe's car stopped beside her.

When Qiao Zhe saw this, he was initially angry that she did not pay attention to her safety, but his heart softened all of a sudden.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Xiying blurted out and asked. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.

"I came to see you." Qiao Zhe wanted to hold Jiang Xiying in his arms, but when he saw Jiang Xiying's eyes avoiding his gaze, he gave up on the idea.

He turned his gaze away from Jiang Xiying and looked at the driver of the car. "I'll have someone take you home first. It's not safe to be outside at night."

Jiang Xiying originally wanted to refuse, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say it out loud.

"Miss Jiang, please get in the car. Young Master still has some matters to attend to." At this time, Qiao Zhe's driver had already gotten out of the car and opened the back door for Jiang Xiying.
