After a while, Jian Changsheng looked away and sighed helplessly.
In the end, he had hoped too much. How could Xiao Ai acknowledge him so quickly?
However, when he thought of Xiao Ai’s attitude and what she had said to him, Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but feel sad. After all, she was his daughter, but now, she was like an enemy.
Although she had sufficient reason to hate him, as a father, he still yearned to reunite with his daughter. Even if he could not reunite with her, at least he would not be like an enemy.
Because he already felt immense guilt and self-reproach in his heart. It was not that he did not feel apologetic.
Jian Ai left the villa without looking back. She planned to leave.
Hongxiang Group’s invitation surprised Jian Ai. Only when she came today, did she know that the other party did not really want to invite her. He was just curious about her and wanted to test her.
She was like an uninvited guest who had accidentally entered someone else’s cocktail party. On the surface, she looked glamorous, but Jian Ai was not drunk. She knew that in the entire cocktail party, other than Uncle Chen and Uncle Xu, whom she had just met, no one treated her as a friend.
Perhaps Jian Changsheng, her biological father, cared about her, but Jian Ai didn’t.
Not that she gained nothing. The thick name cards in her pocket were her gain. Even if she could use one in the future, she would not have come for nothing tonight. Moreover, she had saved Uncle Xu Chu’s phone number.
After leaving the manor, the driver was waiting in the car. He was surprised to see Jian Ai come out at this time.
“Is the CEO done?” the driver asked.
Jian Ai smiled and said casually, “I’m done here. We can retreat now!”
“Where are we going?” the driver asked again.
Jian Ai said, “Let’s go home!”
…
Wang Yunzhong and Xu Qianqian had been married for more than half a month. Because Xu Qianqian was pregnant, she almost never went out these days. Wang Yunzhong even specially found a nanny to serve her. She ate three meals a day and received all kinds of nutrients. She had visibly gained weight.
That night, Xu Qianqian’s ear-piercing scream suddenly came from the dining room.
“Ah!”
This voice was like a raging wave that almost lifted the roof of the villa.
The old man, who was drinking tea in the living room, rushed out when he heard the commotion. The old lady and the nanny, who were busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, also rushed out. Even Wang Yunzhong, who had just gotten off work and was washing his hands in the bathroom, rushed out in shock.
“Qianqian, what’s wrong? What’s wrong with you?!”
In the dining room, Xu Qianqian was curled up in the corner with a pale face. It was obvious that she had been frightened. The old lady quickly went forward to hug her and asked nervously.
Xu Qianqian widened her eyes and looked at a chair at the dining table in the dining room. She said with a trembling voice, “Mom, look there. Look at that…”
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but look over. Everyone was shocked.
The nanny was also timid and couldn’t help but scream, “Oh my!”
On the chair was a furry black spider the size of a palm. It had a pair of black bean-like eyes and claws that bared their fangs. Just looking at it made one’s scalp tingle.
The chair where the spider was sitting was where Xu Qianqian usually sat!
The old lady had goosebumps all over her body. “Where did this big spider come from?!”
As she spoke, she quickly called out to Wang Yunzhong, “Yunzhong, hurry up. Slap it to death with your slippers. Quickly slap it to death!”
Wang Yunzhong came back to his senses and quickly took off the slippers on his feet. However, the spider’s head looked terrifying. He raised his hand and gestured for a long time, but he didn’t dare to do it.
“Damn it. I’ll do it!” The old man panicked. He took off his slippers and walked forward.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, he saw Wang Zichen rushing down from upstairs. As he ran, he shouted anxiously, “Grandpa, Grandpa! Don’t hit it! Don’t hit it!”
Everyone was stunned. Wang Zichen had already rushed to the chair. Then, while everyone was dumbfounded, he picked up the spider with his bare hands and placed it on his palm. He even gently touched the spider and muttered, “My precious Huohuo. My Huohuo. They didn’t scare you, right? It’s fine!”
“Zichen, are you crazy? Quickly throw it away. Be careful not to let it bite you!” the old lady hurriedly said.
Wang Zichen smiled indifferently and looked at the old lady and Xu Qianqian in her arms smugly. “Look at how scared you are. It’s just a pet spider. The thing doesn’t bite. It’s also not poisonous. I raised it as a pet for fun!”
“Nonsense!”
When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he couldn’t help but reprimand him loudly. “What’s wrong with you? Are you raising spiders for fun? Don’t you know that your Auntie Qianqian is pregnant? What if something happens to her and her baby?”
“Yunzhong, don’t shout at the child. I’m fine,” Xu Qianqian said sweetly. Then, she said, “Zichen definitely didn’t do it on purpose.”
Wang Zichen sneered and glanced at Xu Qianqian. Then, he said to Wang Yunzhong, “Dad, is she so delicate when she’s pregnant? She shouts when she sees a spider. I was still thinking about raising a snake for fun in a few days!”

When she heard about snakes, Xu Qianqian couldn’t help but shrink in fear.
Seeing this, the old lady glared at him. “Zichen, stop fooling around. That thing is a cold-blooded animal and can’t be raised well. Moreover, there are so many people at home. What if you hurt someone?”
Wang Yunzhong was holding the slippers he had just taken off. Hearing this, he raised his hand to hit him. How could he not tell that this kid was deliberately scaring Xu Qianqian?
Even if he didn’t like Xu Qianqian, he couldn’t treat a pregnant woman like this. The person in her stomach was his brother!
However, with the old man around, how could he let Wang Yunzhong hit his eldest grandson? He snatched the slippers from Wang Yunzhong’s hand. “What are you doing? How old is Zichen? Why are you still hitting him?”
“Dad, give me the slippers. If I don’t beat him up today, he’ll flip the sky!” Wang Yunzhong said angrily.
“You dare? If you dare to touch Zichen, I’ll skin you alive!” The old man glared at him. His dignity was still there, and Wang Yunzhong immediately deflated.

Wang Zichen dared to carry out his plan so unscrupulously because he knew his grandparents would support him.
Seeing this, he was secretly delighted, but he said on the surface, “Alright, I won’t raise snakes anymore. However, this spider likes to run around. Be careful what you step on. Besides, there are eggs in the spider’s stomach. You can’t slap it to death. Otherwise, if the eggs escape, our house will become a spider’s nest. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Wang Zichen spoke casually, but in Xu Qianqian’s ears, it made her scalp tingle. She was most afraid of these things!
Without waiting for Wang Yunzhong to flare up, Wang Zichen knew when to stop and ran upstairs with the spider.
