Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 521 - 520: The Shackles of the Elite Family (Part 1)

Le Tong smiled but did not give him any answer.Yang Sheng was a bit anxious. He stared intently at Ji Rui, "Rui, be honest with me, did you bully Tongtong?!"

His posture seemed ready to pounce and tear Ji Rui apart!

Ji Rui glanced at Baobao indifferently, "Ask Baobao about this."

Saying this, he carried large bags and small parcels, turning sideways, and entered the living room with an indifferent attitude.

Le Tong bent down to kiss Nuonuo’s sleeping face, then patted Baobao’s face, "Baobao, explain properly."

Yang Sheng stared at the two irresponsible adults, feeling a sense of helplessness since his departure from Ji Family had completely changed the world.

"Baobao..." Since only the little one could give him the answer, he naturally could only catch the little one and ask to understand.

Baobao didn’t mean to keep him in suspense, glanced at Nuonuo with his dark eyes, tugged at Yang Sheng’s wrist, and only when he bent down, did he lean close to his ear and whisper.

"Uncle Sheng, Nuonuo is Baobao’s sister, not mom’s child, Baobao picked her up, but, don’t let Nuonuo know!"

Yang Sheng turned to look at Le Tong, who seemed to have heard Baobao’s whisper too, smiled and nodded.

Yang Sheng breathed a slight sigh of relief because, as far as he knew, Le Tong had been with Ji Rui for only three months or so, so this child, if it was Ji Rui’s, could not possibly be Le Tong’s.

Knowing Ji Rui didn’t let Le Tong feel aggrieved, Yang Sheng’s face filled with smiles, the rest seemed unimportant.

"You guys are something, a lunch break taking so long, I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour."

Since he wasn’t holding a grudge anymore, his mood improved, turned and stepped into the living room, and sat next to Ji Rui, complaining.

"Well, just chatting with Yifan about some matters." Ji Rui answered a bit routinely, completely without any guilt or self-awareness for making people wait.

Yang Sheng pointed at him, saying to Le Tong, "Tongtong, I thought he’d at least become somewhat human after being with you, but it seems he’s exactly the same as before, not a bit improved."

Le Tong glanced at Ji Rui, "How do I have the power to change him? If I did, I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much humiliation from him before."

So Le Tong and Yang Sheng teamed up to criticize Ji Rui, who as the target, calmly sipped his tea, completely unperturbed.

After Yang Sheng and Le Tong had been noisy for a while, they realized Baobao was nowhere to be found, asked Le Tong, and Le Tong pointed to the guest room, "Probably inside accompanying Nuonuo for a nap."

Yang Sheng had no feelings for Nuonuo, but he had a deep affection for Baobao. He missed the little one after not seeing him for such a period of time.

Pushed open the guest room door and sure enough, saw Baobao lying on the bed, watching the sleeping Nuonuo, not knowing what was on his mind.

"Baobao?!" Yang Sheng stood outside the door, holding the handle, and gestured to the small figure.

Baobao turned his head, put a finger on his lips to signal him not to make a noise, then turned back to continue looking at Nuonuo, showing no intention of paying attention to Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng was somewhat disappointed, lightly closed the door, and sat down, feeling rather frustrated.

"Baobao has become distant from me." To be honest, although he didn’t meet with Baobao much, they got along quite well before Le Tong appeared, Baobao talked to him even more than Ji Rui, his father.

"You’ll get used to it gradually..." Le Tong advised Yang Sheng with a mature attitude.

"Has the child been officially adopted?" After some time, slowly accepting it, Yang Sheng finally regained normal thinking.

"Yes, Baobao is quite lonely, since he likes her, we adopted her." Le Tong’s stance never changed throughout, everything was based on Baobao’s preference.

Yang Sheng looked thoughtfully at the two of them, "You guys don’t plan to have your own?"

Ji Rui didn’t wait for Le Tong to reply, took over the conversation himself, "Let’s talk about it later."

The guest room door opened softly, Baobao beckoned to Le Tong, Le Tong got up and went in, Yang Sheng moved closer to whisper to Ji Rui.

"Rui, is it your problem?"

Ji Rui silently looked at him, neither saying yes nor no.

Yang Sheng stared at him for a moment, probably thinking he guessed right, after another silence, said.

"I know quite a few renowned Chinese medicine doctors here, do you want to see one?"

Ji Rui picked up the tea, took a shallow sip, didn’t make a sound.

Yang Sheng thought his silence indicated refusal, sighed and said, "Otherwise, having another one the way Baobao did is also possible, Tongtong likes kids."

Being one of the few who knew Baobao’s true origin, Yang Sheng also clearly knew Le Tong was very fond of children.

"Let’s see, things are pretty good as they are now."

Ji Rui replied ambiguously, making Yang Sheng unsure of his deeper thoughts, seeing his advice had been delivered, he said no more.

"Don’t bring up the child matter in front of Le Tong." Ji Rui didn’t defend himself but specifically instructed Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng looked at him again, nodded, "Alright."

Regarding the child topic, both tacitly didn’t bring it up again after that.

Le Tong didn’t seem to take Yang Sheng’s words to heart either, after changing Nuonuo’s diaper in the guest room, she began inquiring about Yang Sheng’s life.

For Le Tong’s questions, Yang Sheng answered almost without reserve because he knew very well these days had worried her quite a bit.

"Will things get better afterward?" Le Tong knew Yang Sheng must have had a hard time during this period.

The drama of the wealthy family fight, besides reading about it in novels, she also personally experienced one in Ji Family, just, compared to Yang Family’s show, Ji Rui’s with Mr. Ji, Ji Wen, and Ji Wu’s was evidently insignificant.

"My grandfather has five sons, my father is the second. As for grandsons, even if you count illegitimate ones, I’m afraid my grandfather couldn’t list them all, anyway, of the legitimate born, including myself, there are eight males and seven females in my generation."

I must say, just from the perspective of population size, compared to Ji Family, Yang Family indeed resembles a large household.

"Assuming all in my father’s generation disregard affairs completely, of those similar in age to me, even if you ignore their spouses, there are still fourteen people, tell me, can I have peace in the future?"

Yang Sheng’s face carried a sarcastic smile, obviously he had no aspirations for his future in the wealthy family.

Le Tong didn’t know what to say, Ji Rui patted his shoulder, "Don’t underestimate yourself!"

Yang Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I’m not underestimating myself, just not interested! Why should I become Yang Family’s money-making tool?"

It seems, the throne everyone else fought for, to Yang Sheng, was merely a shackle!
