Chapter 793: Helping the manager or not helping the bride
It was already very late, and Jiang Mubai and Xiang Xiang still had to go back to the Jiang family villa. It would be unsafe to go back too late. Besides, everyone was tired after being outside all day and wanted to go back and rest early.
In fact, not long after Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan left the house, the bodyguards had finished their meal and were on standby outside the villa. They naturally would not have brought up this matter if they hadn't seen Jiang Mubai say he was leaving.
Fortunately, Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan didn't take too long to take a walk. After Jiang Mubai returned to the villa, he went straight to the bodyguards who had followed him and asked them to get ready before returning to the Jiang family. After receiving the order, the bodyguards immediately took their men downstairs to prepare.
Manman saw Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan coming back and asked with concern: "Are you going back to the Jiang family?"
"Yeah, it's getting late. We should take Xiang Xiang back home to have a good rest."
"That's true. We've coaxed Xiang Xiang to sleep. It's so late now and we should go home early. You can bring Xiang Xiang to play next time."
"Ah! Time flies by so fast, doesn't it? I haven't had enough fun with Xiang Xiang yet."
Wu You felt reluctant to let him go after listening to the conversation between Manman and Jiang Mubai. Manman couldn't help but comfort him: "Think about it, how can you play with him when he's already asleep? Don't forget that we coaxed him to sleep. This amount of time is enough. Just let your sister Mubai bring him home next time."
"I was just saying, you guys were so focused on Xiang Xiang that you didn't even glance at me. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have gone out for a walk with Yun Chuan."
"No way, Sister Mu Bai and Brother Chuan are having a rare moment of privacy and going out for a walk, how could we bother you two? Man Man and I are famous for our ability to read people's expressions!"
"I didn't know you were so considerate. Next time if you miss me and the kids, just come to the Jiang family villa to find us. You're already so old, and you don't know what to be afraid of? How can my dad be as scary as you say?"
"Okay, since Sister Mu Bai has said so, let's go directly to Jiang's house to play with you and Xiang Xiang next time."
Hearing Wu You say this, Shen Siqi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but interrupt: "Why didn't you agree when I said the same thing to your sister Mu Bai just now? Now that you heard what Mu Bai said, you immediately agreed."
"Oh, isn't it because Sister Mu Bai is the person involved? Since she said so, how can we refuse? That's a bit too hypocritical."
Wu You's answer did not successfully convince Shen Siqi. After hearing it, Shen Siqi rolled his eyes at the other party.
"Okay, Brother Qi, come with Manman and Wu You to visit the Jiang family next time. I'll tell them to have the villa entertain you three well."
After hearing what Jiang Mubai said, Shen Siqi felt relieved. "That's better. Mubai, are you guys going back to the Jiang family?"
"Ah."
"Then I'll take you there. Yunchuan must be tired after driving for so long today. Let him rest at home and I'll take you back instead."
"No, we have bodyguards with us. Don't you two have to go to work tomorrow? Just stay home and rest. Don't send me off. If you are really worried, just send some of the bodyguards in the villa to escort us home."
Before Shen Siqi could speak, Cheng Yunchuan on the side took the lead in expressing his thoughts: "How can that be possible? You and Xiangxiang are both in the car. I will be worried if I let others take you back. I will not be able to sleep if I don't go with you personally. So Mu Bai, don't refuse and let me take you back."
"You are too tired today and you have to go to work tomorrow, so you should rest at home. If you are worried, just send more bodyguards to us."
"It's okay. I'll ask the bodyguards at the villa to go back with us. I'll ask them to drive for me later, and I can just sit in the passenger seat and rest."
Seeing that the two of them were deadlocked because of each other, Manman couldn't help but persuade them: "Let Brother Chuan go with you. He's worried and can't sleep in the villa anyway. It's better to let him go with you so that he can feel more at ease."
"Look, they all support me, so don't insist. If you keep hesitating, it will be even later and more unsafe."
Jiang Mubai was convinced and had to compromise and let Cheng Yunchuan and the bodyguards take them back to the Jiang family villa. "Okay, they are all on your side and can't argue with you guys."
"No way! We all help the right side, not our relatives, okay? Sister Mu Bai, please don't wrongly accuse us."
Jiang Mubai couldn't convince them so he didn't plan to dwell on this matter any more. Anyway, they had already agreed to let Cheng Yunchuan take them home, and it would not be possible to change the situation if he continued to dwell on it.
So Jiang Mubai turned his attention to Zhou Xiaoying: "Aunt Zhou, have you packed everything?"
"I have already packed it up. I didn't disturb you guys because you were talking."
"Well, let's go back to the villa now without further ado."
"Okay, I'll go arrange for the bodyguards in the villa now."
Cheng Yunchuan took two cars to escort Jiang Mubai and the others home. Together with the people Jiang An left for Jiang Mubai, there were a total of four cars to protect their safety.
The convoy they took back to the Jiang family was the same. Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai were sandwiched in the middle of the car. Things were just as Cheng Yunchuan said. When they set off, there were bodyguards hired by Cheng Yunchuan to help them drive. In this way, Cheng Yunchuan didn't have to drive himself and would not be so tired.
Everyone was very quiet on the way back. Maybe they were really tired, and they had to rush home so late, so no one had the mood to talk at this moment. Everyone was just emptying their minds and taking a good rest.
The child was held in Zhou Xiaoying's arms and was sleeping soundly. Jiang Mubai felt a little sorry for the child. After all, he was so obedient and went out with them all day without crying. But they let such a young child follow them outside. How could Jiang Mubai, as a mother, feel at ease?
Cheng Yunchuan was also resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat. He accidentally saw the look in Jiang Mubai's eyes when he was looking at Xiang Xiang and understood what was in the other person's mind.
"Xiang Xiang is such a good kid, but this kind of high-intensity life is not suitable for him. Let him have a good rest in the villa after this trip. Don't let him go out easily unless it is absolutely necessary. It must be very uncomfortable for such a young child to stay outside all the time."
"Yes, we adults are so tired, let alone him, a child. But occasions like today are unavoidable. Fortunately, we won't encounter such a situation again in the future. I think I can have a good rest at home."
"Well, it's not easy for him to follow us."
"Yes."
"You should take a rest too. It will take some time to get home anyway."
"Well, stop talking to me and get some sleep."
Before leaving, Jiang Mubai called Jiang An. She was afraid that Jiang An would be worried if they didn't return so late, so she called Jiang An before leaving to report that she was safe and asked him to go back to his room and sleep early and not wait for them to return.
Jiang An agreed verbally, but when Jiang Mubai came back, the lights in the living room were still on, and Jiang An was still sitting on the sofa waiting for them to come back.
Cheng Yunchuan did not enter the villa. He and Jiang Mubai did not know that Jiang An had not gone to bed yet, otherwise he would have come in to say hello before leaving.
"Why isn't Dad asleep yet?"
"You couldn't sleep. Did Xiao Cheng send you back?"
"Yeah, I didn't know you were still waiting in the living room or I would have asked him to come in and say hello to you."
