Chapter 34
The little guy was usually at the old mansion and rarely came to Violet Imperial Hill those few years, let alone so early in the morning.
When the servants saw Jiang Tingxu, they all addressed her respectfully, “Young Madam.”
The little brat got off the chair, ran to Jiang Tingxu, and stopped a step away.
“Why did you ask the same question as Dad?”
‘Dad asked the same words in that tone when I came back last night!
‘Is it weird to be here?
‘Or… did they dislike it when he went there?’
All of a sudden, she saw the little brat’s face puffing up, accompanied by a humming sound coming from his nose.
In fact, Jiang Tingxu had no idea how to get along with the child. He had been living in the old mansion since his birth, while she was always busy with schoolwork and had no time to take care of him.
Moreover, there were several times when she approached the child herself, but for some reason, he became so scared that he cried.
From then onward, she stopped approaching the child in order to avoid the previous problems.
As the years passed, the child was already nearing four years old.
For Jiang Tingxu however, it was not just four years, but an entire lifetime in between!
She was briefly unable to come up with a response to the child’s question.
“Ahem, did you come yesterday?” She changed the subject instantly.
“Yeah. I came here last night, but you wouldn’t know because you worked overtime.”
There seemed to be some resentment in his last few words.
Jiang Tingxu squatted down and stared at the child.
“Then did you stay here all alone last night? Why didn’t you go back to the old mansion to accompany Grandpa?”
The little guy shook his head quickly.
“Nope, Dad was at home last night, but he was picked up by Mr. Manager really early in the morning. He said there was an advertisement he was hurrying to film. By the way, Jiang Tingxu, did you know that Dad is going abroad!”
He took great pains to overhear that.
Jiang Tingxu was rather confused when she heard that. Was that kid becoming her informer?
She could not help but rubbed his fleshy little face.
“Go and have your breakfast. I’ll head upstairs first.”
Should it matter to her whether the man was going abroad or whether he was at home the night before?
A child could not possibly know as much.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“I’m not hungry. You can eat up. I’ll head up and pack my things.”
“Okay.”
He could not discern the meaning behind her words for the time being and returned to the table to continue eating.
Jiang Tingxu shook her head slightly before going upstairs.
There was nothing much to pack up. Jewelry, limited edition bags, and the like did not interest Jiang Tingxu at all. She did not even bother to take a look at them.
After packing up a few sets of clothes, she dug up her documents from the cabinet and placed them all in the suitcase once she saw that they were all complete. Then, she pulled the suitcase downstairs without hesitation.
The little guy was still eating his favorite crystal dumplings with crab roe when he suddenly spotted Jiang Tingxu dragging her suitcase downstairs. His eyes widened at once.
At the same time, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a loud sound and he exclaimed, “Jiang Tingxu, why are you dragging your suitcase?”
Despite his young age, he sensed that something was up regardless of which way he looked at it. Even his little heart was pounding and panicking.

In the end, he ignored his food, rushed toward Jiang Tingxu, and grasped the suitcase tightly with his two hands.
Jiang Tingxu was also rather startled when she saw her son’s sudden behavior.
“Come here and listen to what Mom is going to tell you.”
In the end, Jiang Tingxu could not bear to be heartless when she was the one who birthed him.
