Chapter 437: Timely Intervention
Chapter 437: Timely Intervention
Su Mengyu, holding Xiao Jiangbao, was about to explain to Zhan Yanxun when Zhan Yanxun coldly said, "You don't need to say anything."
Yan Lan said from the side, "There's no need to say anything. Put the child down quickly. Our Zhan family can afford a nanny. We don't need a young lady from the Su family like you to take care of the child here."
Yan Lan spoke sarcastically, and Su Mengyu's lips trembled slightly. She just wanted to protect the child. She felt that they came with ill intentions and she didn't want them to hurt the child. However, it seemed that Zhan Yanxun didn't understand her.
He probably thinks she's making a mountain out of a molehill!
One is his mother, and the other is his sister-in-law. When he comes back and sees her arguing with his family and making such a mess of the place, he will definitely think it's her fault and that she's meddling!
Su Mengyu gave a helpless smile and said politely, "Mr. Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, I'm really sorry. This is indeed your family matter, and I shouldn't have interfered. Now I'm returning the child to you. If you want to do a paternity test, you can do it. I'll be leaving now."
Su Mengyu felt that now that Zhan Yanxun was back, they should get a paternity test done on the child, and she had no objection.
She just felt that the father had to know about the paternity test, otherwise, if the test was tampered with and caused any misunderstandings, it would affect a child's entire life.
After all, she didn't know what they really meant, but she always felt that Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan were no pushovers either.
After Su Mengyu finished speaking, she was about to hand the child to Zhan Yanxun.
Little Jiangbao looked confused: No, baby wants a little auntie.
If she can't go back to her mother right now, Xiao Jiangbao is willing to let Su Mengyu take care of her, because she knows that Su Mengyu is genuinely taking care of her.
Su Mengyu wanted to give the child to Zhan Yanxun, but Zhan Yanxun did not reach out to take it.
He stood ramrod straight, his captivating eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a magnetic voice, "It's time for the child to sleep. Take her inside and lull her to sleep."
Su Mengyu was stunned. Did Zhan Yanxun mean that she should continue to take care of the child here?
Yan Lan was a little unhappy when she heard this. She said, "Yan Xun, didn't you hear me clearly? This Miss Su was very rude to me and my mother. We just came to pull a few strands of the child's hair to do a paternity test. Miss Su is making it seem like we're here to gouge out the child's eyes!"
"She's my child, and you think you can just pluck her hair like that?"
Zhan Yanxun's eyes were cold, and Yan Lan couldn't help but gasp, saying awkwardly.
"Yan Xun, what you're saying is nothing more than plucking a few hairs. Besides, how can you know if the child is yours without a paternity test? What if you're being scammed?"
"You mean I'm intellectually challenged and can be easily fooled?"
Zhan Yanxun's eyes grew even colder, so cold they seemed to want to kill.
Yan Lan panicked even more and desperately tried to explain. "That's not what I meant, what I meant was..."
Su Mengyu found it inexplicably satisfying to watch!
Yan Lan looked at Xie Qingyi in a panic for help. Xie Qingyi had been a little unhappy earlier, but now she saw that her son and Su Mengyu seemed to be getting closer and closer.
She had already received the news that Jiang Qianhui and Gu Xunjing were getting married. Now she hoped that on the day Jiang Qianhui and Gu Xunjing got married, her son would marry Su Mengyu.
Let everyone know that Jiang Qianhui has divorced her son, and that her son can still marry a first-time bride from a prestigious family like the eldest daughter of the Su family, while the Gu family has simply picked up a discarded wife that the Zhan family didn't want.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyi suppressed her anger and said, "Yan Lan, you were the one who lost your balance and fell on the coffee table, making such a mess. Why don't you clean it up? Who are you expecting to clean it up?"
Yan Lan was instantly stunned. Why was he scolding her again?
So all that acting she put on was just a facade, and she ended up taking the blame.
Yan Lan, unconvinced, said sarcastically in a low voice, "Mom, if Su Mengyu dares to treat you like this now, what will she do when she marries into the family? Why don't you take this opportunity to teach her a lesson?"
"So you're going to deal with her and then let her get away? Su Mengyu is now the richest young lady in Country A, which I think is great. She's much better than some third-rate celebrities."
Yan Lan was heartbroken. That old hag, she would definitely kill her one day.
"What are you standing there for? Don't you know that Tan Palace is Yan Xun's private space? No one can come in casually. Hurry up and clean up what's on the floor!"
Yan Lan reluctantly went to pack up, while Xie Qingyi said to Zhan Yanxun, "Although there are some misunderstandings, we still need to do a paternity test. We can't let the Zhan family's bloodline slip through our fingers."
Tan Palace is Zhan Yanxun's private place, and no one is allowed to enter casually.
Now she's moved in. Does that mean he trusts her?
Su Mengyu was very happy. However, when she saw the child in her arms, she suddenly came to her senses again.
What is she thinking? She was the one who begged him to help take care of the child to repay his kindness, so why is she suddenly acting like she's someone special to him?
Her mind is getting increasingly out of control; she's always having wild thoughts. She should probably go see a neurologist sometime.
"Since you know that no one can just come in, what are you doing here? Go back immediately."
Xie Qingyi and Yan Lan were chased away by Zhan Yanxun. Su Mengyu came over with the child and said, "I'm sorry, I upset your mother. I just felt that without your consent, you shouldn't let others pull the baby's hair to do a paternity test."
Zhan Yanxun looked at Su Mengyu and said, "You are not only the best childcare worker, but you are also very smart. I like smart people."
In his work, Zhan Yanxun prefers to use intelligent people like this. He doesn't need to explain everything in great detail; the other person's actions are enough to please him.
If someone else were to take care of Xiao Jiangbao, they would definitely make his mother pull out his hair and do a paternity test.
No one but him can do paternity testing!
Zhan Yanxun hugged Xiao Jiangbao and said, "You are my child. Even without a paternity test, I have already decided that you are my child."
Little Jiangbao: Actually, it's okay if you don't agree. I can go back to Mommy's side.
Zhan Yanxun's face was gloomy. Today, the internet was praising him for his high IQ in solving a murder case, but why was he so disliked in front of Jiang Qianhui and the child?
Su Mengyu: "President Zhan, I'm glad you're not blaming me. I was worried you might..."
Zhan Yanxun: "Don't even think about leaving. Stay by my side."
Hearing Xiao Jiangbao's thoughts, Zhan Yanxun adopted a firm attitude but failed to notice that Su Mengyu was talking to him.
As Su Mengyu listened to Zhan Yanxun's words, she suddenly felt her heart race.
Zhan Yanxun wouldn't let her leave, telling her to stay by his side. Although she knew it was just to let her stay and take care of the child, hearing Zhan Yanxun's words still stirred her heart.
At this moment, Zhan Yanxun noticed that Su Mengyu's face was flushed and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Your face is so red."
