"Jiang Xiying, long time no see. How have you been?" Qiao Zhe said.

"Yes, long time no see. I'm fine," Jiang Xiying said softly.

When Jiang Rann saw Qiao Zhe and Jiang Xiying talking, he instantly understood that Qiao Zhe and Jiang Xiying knew each other. Jiang Rann did not say anything and just smiled.

At this time, Qiao Zhe said to Jiang Rann: "Your name is Rann?"

"Yes, yes, I am Rann, and Rann is me." Jiang Rann said happily.

"Rann, what a nice name, then what's your surname?" Qiao Zhe asked again.

"My surname is Mu."

"Alright, that's enough. Rann, you can just call him uncle." Jiang Xiying was a little worried that Qiao Zhe would find out something.

Jiang Rann called him "Uncle Qiao Zhe," and when Qiao Zhe heard it, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but he could not tell why.

Qiao Zhe, Jiang Xiying, and Jiang Rann did not say anything either. Jiang Rann lowered his head and continued to eat. Jiang Xiying did not know what to say to Qiao Zhe either. The two of them also felt awkward and lowered their heads to eat.

Qiao Zhe didn't know what to say to Jiang Xiying. He ordered a cup of coffee and looked at Jiang Rann suspiciously.

Jiang Xiying knew that Qiao Zhe had been looking at Jiang Rann, but she did not say anything.

Jiang Xiying thought to herself, Let's just watch. It's only been a while, and I can't recognize him. Let's finish eating and leave quickly.

She would not let Qiao Zhe know the identity of this child.

It was just that Rann ate a little too slowly, afraid that Qiao Zhe would ask something. There was nothing Jiang Xiying could do to stop Qiao Zhe. The more she tried to stop him, the more she tried to cover her ears.

Jiang Xiying really hoped that someone would come to pick them up and take Rann home.

Jiang Rann finally finished his meal. Just as Jiang Xiying was about to bring Jiang Rann home, she suddenly thought of Qiao Zhe.

Jiang Xiying thought to herself, Qiao Zhe has not gotten anything out of me yet. If I leave now, Qiao Zhe will not let this go easily. He will definitely investigate Rann's identity. No, this won't do. I have to stop Qiao Zhe from doing this. I couldn't let him find out Rann's identity, or everything would be in chaos.

"Rann, wait for me here for a while. I'll go over there and talk to this uncle for a while. It's been a long time since we last met. There are a lot of things to talk about. Just wait for me obediently." Jiang Xiying said in a gentle tone.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll wait for you obediently," Jiang Rann said in a sweet voice.

Jiang Xiying felt relieved when she heard what Jiang Rann said. Then, she brought Qiao Zhe to the seat on the other side. Qiao Zhe also followed Jiang Xiying without saying a word of refusal, because Qiao Zhe also wanted to know why Jiang Xiying had been ignoring him these days. Was it because of Jiang Rann, the child?

"Why are you here?" Jiang Xiying asked.

Qiao Zhe did not say anything for a long time when he heard Jiang Xiying's question, because he did not want Jiang Xiying to know that it was an investigation. He was afraid that Jiang Xiying would be angry. But before Qiao Zhe could say anything, Jiang Xiying said, "You investigated me. Is that right? " Jiang Xiying's tone changed when she said this.

"Actually, I don't want to investigate you like this. I sent you a message, but you didn't reply. I called you, but you didn't pick up either. What do you want me to do? I haven't seen you for such a long time. I am worried about you. Why don't you ask me to do this? I am doing this for you. I miss you. Don't be angry. Please. I was wrong. I shouldn't have investigated you. " Qiao Zhe explained.

When Jiang Xiying heard Qiao Zhe's explanation, she found it ridiculous. She couldn't help but sneer because she no longer believed Qiao Zhe's words. In the past, Qiao Zhe liked to say things that warmed people's hearts.

Jiang Xiying did not want to believe Qiao Zhe anymore. She could not believe it either. All these years, she knew very well what her belief had earned her.

Right now, she just wanted to raise Jiang Rann and live a simple life.

"I find that child a little familiar." Qiao Zhe continued.

Jiang Xiying panicked when she heard Qiao Zhe say this. "You're thinking too much. He has never seen you before. You don't have to use this as an excuse to get close to him." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly left with Jiang Rann, which still made Qiao Zhe feel a little strange.

Jiang Xiying returned home and sat on the sofa to think calmly. She did not want Qiao Zhe to know about the existence of this child. She thought to herself, 'No, I must not let Qiao Zhe know about the existence of this child. Otherwise, our lives will not be so peaceful in the future.'

She couldn't let Qiao Zhe know so much. I was really scared of Qiao Zhe, and now I just want to live a quiet life with Rann. No one will disturb us.

Jiang Xiying thought so from the bottom of her heart, because she knew that if Qiao Zhe knew the consequences of this child, he would definitely harass their lives every day, and from then on, their lives would not be so easy.

Qiao Zhe called to ask Jiang Xiying to meet him, but Jiang Xiying rejected him.

After Jiang Xiying rejected him, Qiao Zhe felt that something was wrong. He did not know what Jiang Xiying was hiding from. The more Jiang Xiying avoided him, the more Qiao Zhe felt that something was wrong. Whether it was the child called Jiang Rann or Jiang Xiying's reaction, Qiao Zhe felt that something was wrong.

Qiao Zhe wondered what Jiang Xiying was hiding from. Every time he asked Jiang Rann, although Jiang Xiying tried her best to calm herself down, he saw the panic that passed in a second. Also, Jiang Xiying was inexplicably flustered and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. He had no idea what Jiang Xiying was hiding from him.

The only thing he was certain of was that there was something wrong with the child called Jiang Rann.

Even if he asked, Jiang Xiying might not tell him the truth.

Qiao Zhe lit a cigarette and inhaled and exhaled with every breath he took. Perhaps only the smoke could relieve the frustration in Qiao Zhe's heart now.

After finishing the cigarette, Qiao Zhe took out his phone again and was about to call Jiang Xiying. After finding Jiang Xiying's contact, Qiao Zhe called.

She didn't say it was her business, but he had to get to the bottom of it.

When Jiang Xiying saw that it was Qiao Zhe again, she was very nervous, but she was afraid that something would happen, so she picked up the call.

"Hello? I told you not to call me again. I'm very busy right now." Before Qiao Zhe could say anything, Jiang Xiying said anxiously.

"Come out and meet me. I want to ask you about what happened today," Qiao Zhe said.

Jiang Xiying was a little flustered when she heard Qiao Zhe's words. She pretended to be calm and said, "Who do you think you are? We have nothing to do with each other now. Why do you still order me around like this? I won't go out and meet you."

He must be suspicious of Rann's identity. Jiang Xiying would never go out and meet him. If she revealed anything, it would be even more impossible to save the situation. She and Rann didn't want to be disturbed by others.

"Okay, you don't have to come out, but I want you to know one thing. Since I can easily find out your real-time location, it's naturally easy to find out Jiang Rann's real-time address. It's fine if you don't want to see me, but I'll go find Jiang Rann. After all, children don't lie." Qiao Zhe threatened Jiang Xiying.

"No, no, no, I'll go out. Just wait for me at the same place." After saying that, Jiang Xiying hung up the phone.

Jiang Xiying was forced out by Qiao Zhe's goading.

On the way there, Jiang Xiying felt that there was nothing left to talk about between the two of them. Eight years ago, there had been no other parting, and the two of them had become like this. Now, how could they go back just because they wanted to?
