Chapter 1155: Baby needs a complete family.
“I thank everyone for attending the banquet that our Ji Group has organized today. Here, I’d like to announce a piece of good news to everyone, and that is,
“Today, our Ziming and the Qu family’s eldest daughter, Jingwan, officially become engaged.”
Right after this was spoken, the bright spotlight was not only shining on Qu Jingwan anymore.
Another ray of spotlight shone elsewhere.
It was a tall and well-toned man. He was none other than the man whose name Madam Ji had just spoken, Ji Ziming.
The two stood under different spotlights. They were iridescent just like light-emitting bodies.
The two people under the spotlights looked so compatible that they seemed to be a folklore’s golden children.
Pound, pound!
Pei Ge felt her heart pound upon hearing Madam Ji’s announcement.
Her heart was pounding so fast she would think that she was sick if she did not know better.
“Gosh! Young Master Ji is getting engaged with the Qu family’s daughter?!”
“This Qu missy finally secured her position. It’s been so many years so it hasn’t been easy on her, too.”
“Indeed. It’s merely just an engagement, though—not marriage. After all, the one back then almost got married yet disappeared in the end.”
She felt her heart constrict upon hearing the crowd’s hushed conversation.
However, no matter what others said, the man could only stand expressionlessly on the stage after being pulled up by his mother.
Still, anyone who was familiar with him could see from his dark and cold eyes that his mood was definitely at its trough.
“Son, mom has never begged you for anything. Just this time, and just this once, mom is begging you not to oppose it anymore, okay...”
His lips moved slightly at his mother’s voice. In the end, he did not shrug off her hands or immediately expose this lie with a cold face.
This lie of an engagement with Qu Jingwan that he had no knowledge about.
“Son, you are no longer young. Our Baby is about to start attending school. As his father, you need to give him a stable and healthy family...”
His mother’s eyes slowly turned moist as her face became filled with lamentation.
Her son was no longer young, and her grandson was almost five, yet her son still had not gotten married.
As each year passed, how could she not get frantic?
Moreover...
She had overheard her poor grandson actually talking to the walkie-talkie by himself.
He said something about letting someone else be his mother.
Sigh! That child must be feeling too lonely, so he’s starting to have imaginary friends.
I can’t let my grandson continue like this.
My grandson should have a mother who loves him. What will we do if he ends up contracting a sort of mental illness?
Also, no matter how much I look around, the only one suitable for my son and grandson is this woman who has silently been enduring my son’s cold treatment yet remains this gentle.
“...Mom, I’ll settle my issues.”
Faced with her begging yet anticipative look, although he did not shrug off her hand, he still expressed his opinion softly.
“Jingwan is truly a good child. You—”
She pressed her lips tightly together and moved to speak.
“Mom.”
However, she was interrupted by him with a frown.
“I already said that I can settle my issues.”
With that, he struggled out of his mother’s grasp and regarded her with a calm and composed look.
It was as though the engagement banquet tonight were not his and that he had not been the one being forced into marriage by his parents.
“Count it as mom begging you; forget that woman—”
She grabbed his hand again.
“Our Baby really needs a warm and healthy family; I just had a talk with Doctor Qi a few days ago, and he said that your son has some psychological issues...”
In the end, she still spoke out the problem she did not want to speak or admit.
The man stopped his action of shrugging her off the moment he heard this.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“You were busy with work recently, so I didn’t tell you... Your son actually has a very serious psychological problem; he—”
She was just about to inform him of the doctor’s finding when a scream was heard.
“Ahhh! Little young master!”
This ear-piercing scream attracted everyone’s attention.
Following the scream, everyone raised their head to look at the rooftop of the villa.
Through the dim moonlight, a scrawny and small silhouette could be seen standing at the window of the top floor.
As the night breeze blew, the scrawny figure also shivered slightly. The scene made one’s heart shiver in fright.
“Look! Right there by the window of that building! Is that a child?”
“Looks like it! What’s happening? Whose child is that? Why is he standing at such a dangerous place?”
Everyone was stunned at this dangerous scene.
Before anyone could return to their senses from the shocking scene of Ji Ziming and Qu Jingwan getting engaged, they were again frightened by the child’s appearance.
Everyone was wondering if this child was the Ji family’s illegitimate son.
Right at this moment, Madam Ji’s legs turned weak.
The moment she started crumpling to the ground, the man helped her up. His sight was still on the small figure in front of the window.
“Baby! Grandma’s Baby! Child, what are you doing?!”
Madam Ji’s body shivered as she tilted her head up to look at the spot.
The small villa was not very far and it was not very tall.
Hence, the person up there could hear what she had just said.
Before the two could move to walk over, the small child standing up there spoke.
“I don’t want daddy to marry Aunt Qu! I don’t want it! I don’t like her at all! I only want my mommy!”
