Two days later, Chairman Jiang was sitting at home in his office when he suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
"Chairman Jiang, this is Wen JunXi." A deep male voice spoke on the side of the line.
Chairman's Jiang instantly frowned in response.
"Wen JunXi, I've been expecting your call?" He replied.
"Great. Then since my call has been in your expectation, you won't refuse an appointment with me." Wen JunXi fired back.
Chairman Jiang felt a knot forming in his vein at Wen JunXi's straightforwardness and disrespectful tone.
"Fine. You make the arrangements, I'll be there."
"Looking forward to our correspondence." There was derision in Wen JunXi's tone. Although the tone was seemingly joking, Chairman Jiang could tell he was not happy.
Just as Jiang XinYan had said, he was truly unreadable.
...
...
Ten days later, as the sun set among the peaks of Z City, Executive assistant Wang accompanied Chairman Jiang to the restaurant Wen JunXi had booked.
This restaurant was one of the branches owned by Jiang Cooperation. For Wen JunXi to go out of his way to come over this side, Chairman Jiang could tell he was making an effort.
The attendees welcomed Chairman Jiang and escorted him to the VVIP room where Wen JunXi was waiting.
As Chairman Jiang entered the oriental decorated room, the first thing he saw was Wen JunXi sitting on the cushion while speaking strictly on the phone as if he was reprimanding someone.
What stunned Chairman Jiang, however, was the little dumpling sitting next to him while drinking a juice box.
Seeing this child, Chairman Jiang instantly felt his ice-cold expression warming instantly. This was the child that had been ripped off Yan'er 's stomach. He also had the Jiang Family blood running through him.
Although Chairman Jiang was relieved to see him healthy, this wasn't the first time Chairman Jiang had seen Wen Xi Lan. For the longest time he had felt guilty about this child and therefore, he always got executive assistant Chu to drive him to his kindergarten and watch him from a distance.
"Wen JunXi you really know how to use one's weakness to your advantage." Chairman Jiang spoke, drawing their attention to him.
Wen JunXi finished his call immediately and placed his phone away. He then stood up and got Wen Xi Lan to stand too.
"Chairman Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Wen JunXi spoke as he drew his hand forward.
Chairman Jiang only cleared his throat, ignoring Wen JunXi as he sat down. Then his eyes trained on the object of his affection.
The little dumpling who stared at him with a shy curiosity.
"You're Wen Xi Lan?" Chairman Jiang asked him.
The little dumpling looked up to his father questionably.
Wen JunXi simply nodded and then told him, "Yes he's your mommy's grandfather, go greet him."
The little dumpling excitedly left his father's side, his little legs running to Chairman Jiang. When he reached him, he gave him a ninety-degree bow.
"Ah-Lan greets great grandfather."
"Good child, come sit next to great grandpa." Chairman Jiang softly grabbed his hand.
Wen Xi Lan was more than happy to meet his great grandfather and so quickly acquiesced and sat down next to him.
"What does Ah-Lan like to eat, great grandfather will buy it for Ah-Lan." Chairman Jiang asked Wen Xi Lan.
"Daddy has ordered Ah-Lan's food." Wen Xi Lan answered.
Then he seemed to think for a moment as if debating how to approach a topic. Moments later after gathering the courage, he looked warily at Chairman Jiang and said,
"Great grandfather, Ah-Lan wants to see mommy, but mommy doesn't remember Ah-Lan."
Chairman Jiang sighed and then turned to glare at Wen JunXi who appeared to be not concentrating on the conversation. He knew, however, that Wen JunXi had his whole undivided attention on them the whole time.
"Wen JunXi, you're so sneaky. You know the weakness of this pile of bones but to use is it as such is really manipulative."
Wen Jun Xi had a question finally answered as soon as he discovered that Jiang XinYan was Yan Yan. Although Chairman Jiang had been discreet whenever he secretly visited Wen Xi Lan's kindergarten, he had been detected by Wen JunXi elite and professional bodyguards that secretly patrolled Wen JunXi's school.
Wen JunXi had always wondered why Chairman Jiang would visit and sponsor his son's school, now he finally understood.
He had turned the earth upside down all these four years while scouring for any traces of Yan Yan. Little had he known the reason he could not find her was because Chairman Jiang made sure of it. His Yan Yan had turned into Jiang Xin Yan.
Thus, thinking of this, Wen JunXi commented,
"Chairman Jiang, we're both businessmen, it doesn't not matter what methods is used as long a goal is achieved."
Chairman Jiang became instantly upset. He glowered toward Wen JunXi with a bitter expression.
"Chairman Jiang why does Yan Yan not remember me?" Wen JunXi asked.
"If you went through what she did, would you want to remember it?" The voice Chairman Jiang used was stern.
"What does that mean?"
" Wen JunXi don't pretend to be innocent. You do not deserve my family's Yan'er after what you put her through!"
Chairman Jiang had tried to hold his voice, but he couldn't help his outburst. He really had a bone to pick with Wen JunXi.
Then he stared down regretfully at the little dumpling. He should not watch them argue like this.
"Wen Xi Lan, go outside." Wen JunXi decided.
Wen Xi Lan pouted unwillingly as he stared at his father. Wen JunXi then gave him an expression not to be argued with. This expression always compelled Wen Xi Lan to obey his father immediately. He quickly stood up.
"Ah-Lan, there's a tall man outside, you can call him Uncle Wang, tell him go with you to buy any toy you want." Grandfather Jiang encouraged.
Wen Xi Lan was reluctant, but he also wanted to please his great grandfather. His father told him when they were arriving in this restaurant that he had please him so that he'll able to easily see his mommy.
