Chapter 245 She still needs a sweet and considerate daughter!
Jiang Qin, on the other hand, seemed completely unaware of what had happened at the Huo family's old mansion.
but……
Sweetie, who keenly sensed something was off last night, is now a little down.
Shortly after breakfast, Su Lejia sent a message saying she wanted Jiang Qin to help her pack the wedding favors she had bought, and then go over to help her check if the planned wedding room decoration scheme was feasible.
If possible, she wants to visit physical stores first to get a better idea of what to expect, in case she gets a bad experience buying directly online.
Jiang Qin had no objection, and Tian Tian also wanted to go. Song Xinye happened to have other things to do, so he asked Carlos and Aunt Zhou to go with them. At this time, the mother and daughter were in Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan's new house.
Jiang Qin, Su Lejia, and Zhou Junxuan were sitting on the sofa by the coffee table, packing gifts.
Sweetie sat on the opposite sofa, obediently flipping through a children's picture book cloth book.
I used to find the stories quite interesting, but today I just couldn't get into them.
The little baby has a problem.
She glanced at Jiang Qin several times, but because she hadn't figured out what to say and was afraid Jiang Qin would notice and ask her what was wrong, she quickly looked away each time she looked at her mother.
Jiang Qin, who was focused on packing the gifts, did not notice Tian Tian's hesitant gaze.
Until she realized she was a little thirsty.
The coffee table was now filled with various small gifts and candies needed to complete the wedding favors.
Su Lejia moved the flower tea she had brewed in advance to the dining table.
Jiang Qin stopped packing the food and was about to get up when Tian Tian didn't anticipate her move.
She cast another hesitant, somewhat pitiful look at him.
This time, Jiang Qin noticed it instantly, and she stopped in her tracks, looking at Tian Tian instead of heading to the dining table.
"What's wrong, baby? Is there something you want to tell Mommy?"
When she was caught red-handed, Tian Tian was stunned at first, then opened her mouth and became conflicted again.
How could she explain it? Because she didn't actually know what her mother had gone out to do last night.
But she was certain that her mother's behavior was unprecedented.
Moreover, when she came back, she heard her put down her phone, so it's certain that her mother took her phone with her to the balcony.
If Jiang Qin knew Tian Tian's reasoning process at this moment, she probably wouldn't be able to help but sigh again.
The truth is, Tian Tian not only deduced this, but also figured out that Jiang Qin must have gone out to make a phone call to someone.
Because last night when Mommy went out onto the balcony, she didn't hear the balcony light switch being turned on—
On the night she checked into the room, she wanted to try to reach the light switch to turn off the bedroom light.
As a result, the bedroom light was left on, but the balcony light was turned on by mistake.
The lights weren't on, and it was so late; it must have been very dark outside. If we video-called, my mom probably wouldn't be able to see us.
But I was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so she must have been on the phone with someone.
Thinking of this, Sweetie's little brows furrowed instantly.
She hesitated for a while, but finally decided to speak directly.
But before that, let Jiang Qin do what she just wanted to do.
Jiang Qin looked at her daughter, who was acting like a little adult again, and felt both curious and amused.
"Okay, then Mommy will go get some water first. Let's get Sweetie sorted out what she wants to say."
Sweetie nodded obediently and earnestly: "Mmm!"
Jiang Qin went to the dining table to pour herself a cup of herbal tea, drank it, and then sat back down.
Su Lejia, who had been packing things, was also a little tired. She overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter and became curious.
I had a cup of tea, and then I brought over some snacks for adults and nutritious snacks for children.
"Let's rest for a bit and have something to eat. Does Sweetie want some?"
Sweetie glanced at it; it was one of the very few snacks Jiang Qin had allowed her to eat. She smiled and took it, "Thank you, Auntie~"
Then he stared longingly at Jiang Qin as she walked over.
The task of sorting the items is not tiring in itself, but since it is a wedding and you want to leave a good impression on your guests with the wedding favors, you can't just stuff things in randomly. There are many details to pay attention to at every step.
Therefore, it still requires some patience to get started.
Hearing her best friend say she needed to rest, Jiang Qin had no objection. After all, the hotel had already been booked, and Zhou Junxuan, after returning and having breakfast, went to the hotel to follow up with the person in charge about the specific procedures for the wedding.
There's still about a week left, so they don't need to rush.
Seeing her daughter holding a small snack and looking at her, Jiang Qin sat down next to Tian Tian.
"What did Sweetie want to say to Mommy just now?"
Sweetie put the snacks aside, hugged Jiang Qin who was sitting over her, and looked up at her.
"Mommy, did you... talk on the phone with that weird uncle last night?"
Su Lejia, who was tearing open a bag of potato chips and preparing to show off, was glad that she wasn't chewing on the chips.
Afraid of choking, she sprayed out the potato chip crumbs.
As a friend of a girl who loves to talk, I was shocked to hear that my best friend was contacting her scumbag ex-husband.
Su Lejia said she was truly unable to accept it, extremely shocked, and couldn't believe it!
What the heck?
Su Lejia looked at Jiang Qin with a puzzled expression, her face saying, "Baby, what Tian Tian said isn't true, right?"
Jiang Qin, who had just been startled by her daughter's words, was speechless.
A deep silence fell.
Very helpless.
She glanced at Su Lejia, but replied to her daughter first.
But she answered frankly, "Yes."
Su Lejia stared wide-eyed at the opposite side, a hint of anger playing on her lips.
Wait, what's going on?
Oh no, could it be because yesterday her Qinqin helped her and Zhou Junxuan talk to Huo Sili's good friend about getting the deposit back, making that scumbag think he could rekindle his old flame with her darling?
So you're harassing her baby?
Thinking about this possibility, Su Lejia suddenly felt frustrated.
But before she could say anything, Tian Tian sat on Jiang Qin's lap and snuggled into her arms.
Looking at Jiang Qin with eyes as clear as black grapes, she asked, "Then, why are Mommy and the weird uncle on the phone? Is it... because of Tian Tian? And they even went outside to make the call, it's so cold outside."
At this point, Tian Tian frowned slightly at Jiang Qin. "Fine, Tian Tian doesn't want to know why Mommy and the weird uncle were on the phone, but Mommy, you can't do that again next time, okay?"
"If you need to make a phone call, Mommy can do it in the room! If you don't want Sweetie to hear, you can go to another room to make the call. It's so cold outside at night!"
The little boy brought up the cold weather outside again, his expression serious.
Sweetie's words were undoubtedly similar to the two words of concern that Huo Sili had subconsciously uttered to her last night.
Jiang Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and after listening to what Tian Tian had said earlier, it was clear that her daughter was more concerned about her than curious about why she had called Huo Sili last night, fearing that she would get cold.
Looking at Tian Tian holding her in her arms, Jiang Qin's feelings were inevitably complicated.
Su Lejia, who was sitting opposite the mother and daughter and watching their interaction, suddenly had tears in her eyes.
She's such a sweet and caring girl! It made my nose tingle a little.
Jiang Qin reached out and hugged Tian Tian, gently patting her back. She was also very proactive in admitting her mistake: "Mommy was wrong. Mommy promises Tian Tian that from now on, if I need to make a phone call, I will definitely do it in my room and won't go outside to make it."
Sweetie looked up at Jiang Qin from her arms and said, "That's more like it."
After nestling in her mother's arms for a while, Tian Tian began to snuggle against Jiang Qin in a spoiled manner, saying, "But Mommy, it's not enough to just promise; you have to keep your word. You can't lie to Tian Tian."
Jiang Qin looked at her daughter's adorable face in her arms, a face so cute that it was hard not to feel happy just by looking at it.
She nodded solemnly and promised, "Mommy will definitely keep her word and won't lie to Sweetie."
Actually, there were two reasons for going out onto the balcony. One was that Song Xinye also slept on that floor, and they didn't want more people to know about it.
Another major reason was that I didn't want my daughter's sleep to be disturbed, and I thought it would be closer and more convenient to go to the balcony.
Unexpectedly, what she thought was a good option turned out to be not, and instead made Sweetie so worried about her.
Before having children, Jiang Qin didn't understand this, but after having children herself, she truly realized that children's thoughts are actually very delicate.
As a result, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel guilty about what happened.
Suddenly, she remembered that when they were having breakfast at the villa earlier, Sweetie seemed to have something else she wanted to say to her, but she ended up asking her about shrimp dumplings. It seems that she was struggling with whether or not to ask her about it at that time.
She felt even more guilty.
His gaze towards his daughter softened, and he felt a deep sense of guilt.
The phone rang at that very moment.
Jiang Qin's phone was on the sofa opposite her. She had come over to keep Tian Tian company earlier and hadn't brought it over.
Su Lejia helped pick it up and handed it to Jiang Qin, who immediately recognized it as Sister Wu's call.
Normally, if the old lady needs anything, she will call me herself.
Ask Sister Wu to pass on a message...
A bad feeling rose in her heart, and Jiang Qin quickly answered the call, her voice immediately filled with worry.
"Hello, Sister Wu, it's Grandma..."
