u with a similar background. This is the right way for him to open up his marriage, and she didn't lose at all.The nanny outside saw her come out and sighed. She had heard everything the woman said in...I texted him to see if he was at the shop, so I could go there and find him.
He didn't reply as quickly as he used to, taking about an hour to respond: "Zhaochai is gone."
Han Li's heart skipped a beat because she was overly sensitive to the word "wealth," but realizing he was talking about his dog, she quickly asked, "Where are you now At the pet hospital"
"Well."
Han Li rushed to the pet hospital in her car. When she arrived, she saw Jiang Mu sitting in the reception area of the pet hospital. Opposite him was a doctor who was holding a file and payment slip for him to sign.
Upon seeing her, he nodded at her. She stood silently by his side, only to hear the doctor say, "When you left last night, it wasn't doing well. It lasted until this morning and saw you before passing away. It's not a regretful end."
"Mm." Jiang Mu nodded calmly and signed his name.
Han Li only just remembered, last night the person he was messaging on WeChat had been typing, pausing and starting again, before finally sending two words: "The past."
He probably knew then that he was at the pet hospital with Zhao Cai, and that Zhao Cai wouldn't live for long. So he thought about it for a while before finally deciding to go over and be with her.
"I'm sorry." She shouldn't have called him back last night on a whim.
Jiang Mu shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. I thought it could last a few more days."
After signing, the doctor tidied up the files: "Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment. The cremation company will be here shortly. Will you go with them Or would you like us to handle it"
"You guys handle it, I've already said goodbye to it." Jiang Mu remained calm.
Only Han Li knew that his heart wasn't calm. His hand was ice cold, gripping hers tightly without realizing it. It wasn't so much holding her hand as it was a desperate clutch.
Hani didn't know what he had been through before. It seemed like no matter how much his heart fluctuated, his surface remained completely unreadable. If it wasn't for him gripping her hand too tightly and freezing cold, if it wasn't for the dialogue box that kept inputting things last night, she would have thought he was just a dog. He didn't seem to care at all.
She also held his hand tightly, hoping to give him some support. She didn't say anything. After leaving the pet hospital, she got into the driver's seat first and let him sit in the passenger seat, driving to his villa.
After driving for a while, Jiang Mu spoke first: “Its mission, maybe, is to let me meet you again and make up for the regret of losing Doujin back then.”
Zhaochai is a stray dog he adopted. When he adopted it, its health was already very poor. It should be because of its illness that it was abandoned by its original owner.
He treated it like a treasure when it came back, always taking good care of it. So when it left, he didn't feel too much regret, just a lot of reluctance.
"Doujin was a dog my mother raised before she passed away. Two years after she died, it went missing."
This was also the reason he offered a hefty reward to find information about his dog. Because of the high reward, many people contacted him over the years, and by chance, some of them reached out to Han Li, leading to their connection.
It seemed as if everything was destined, especially when he learned that her child's nickname was also "Zhao Cai" (招財), a sense of fate washed over him, as if it were all his mother's arrangement.
Hàn Lì tightened his grip on the steering wheel for a moment. "So your mother now isn't your biological mother"
She was puzzled, and he replied, "Well, my father has several other families out there."
He was calm when he said that, with not much emotional fluctuation.
So he said before his parents were open-minded, because his parents didn't care about him at all, that's why they seemed open-minded.
Han Li reached out to take his hand, but he stopped her. "I'm fine, you focus on driving."
Han Li suddenly understood why he had told Han Zhao Yi to adapt slowly this morning. He must have suffered a lot of grievances in this regard when he was a child.
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to hug him.
He turned to glance at her: "You didn't imagine a soap opera about a wealthy family, did you"
Han Li had nothing to say, as if she had already imagined her mother suffering in the wealthy family, living a life of sorrow and eventually dying from illness; and he, having witnessed his father's various misdeeds since childhood, would rather start his own life than return home to inherit the family business.
About her daydreams of a wealthy family feud, Jiang Mu sincerely laughed: "Rest assured, my mother is a very shrewd woman. Although she can't control my father's escapades outside, the economic power of the house has always been in her hands. Until her death, she had already transferred most of the important assets of the family to my name. Now, my father and those siblings are actually working for me."
He is the one who truly holds the power, but because he is low-key, and before his mother passed away, she arranged for her family to assist him with important business and positions within the company. Therefore, he didn't directly participate in the family company's operations, which led people outside to believe he had been sidelined and had to start his own business.
This was quite a shock to Han Li. Initially, when Ywen introduced him, she thought he was an elite young man from an ordinary family. Later, she learned that he was the general distributor of a luxury car brand in China, and she already found that very impressive. Now, she realizes there are even bigger "surprises" waiting for her.
She jokingly asked, "Isn't my boyfriend a billionaire Is this what you meant by 'economically decent' before"
"I was shallow."
Actually, what I want to say is that I'm out of my league.
That night when they went on a "blind date" and confirmed their relationship, she felt that they were both mature adults who had a good feeling for each other. Economically speaking, he was a brand general distributor and she was a partner in an architectural design firm, which could be considered a match made in heaven, each bringing something to the table. Coupled with the previous encounter they had, she felt this was a tacit understanding between mature adults, neither of them asking why the other liked them or chose them.
But now that she knows his true financial situation, she suddenly wonders what he saw in her.
Given his circumstances, her age and having children are not ideal. However, it wasn't appropriate to bring this up suddenly, so she held back.
We drove all the way to his villa courtyard. In a corner of the lawn was a small, charming house where Cai had lived. Remembering how Han Zhao Yi came last time, running across the lawn with his dog, I couldn't help but feel sentimental. "If Han Zhao Yi knew Cai was gone, he would be heartbroken,"
"Let's talk to him again sometime."
Jiang Mu maintained a calm facade, but Han Li knew he was hurting. When they returned, Han Li helped the dog sitter, as usual, pack up Zhaocai's things while Jiang Mu sat on a chair outside, staring at the small house in the lawn.
In his heart, Zhaochai was the last tie he and his mother had to Doujin. Once Zhaochai left, that connection would be severed completely.e they were doing, when suddenly a hand shot out from beside him: "What's with you drinking alcohol at such a young age" 。。Chen Ning's heart, which had always been suppressed, beat wildly again. Her f...
