Chapter 91 The Household Registration of the Banquet

After verifying the ID card, the staff member was finally relieved: "Well then, Mr. Xie, the child is in your care. Please take good care of your child in the future, as today's situation was very dangerous."

After the staff member finished speaking, he took out a few tissues, handed them to Xie Jian, and left.

Xie Jian was still crying.

I cried heartbreakingly.

Yan Changye looked down at him, neither coaxing nor trying to persuade him, letting him throw a tantrum and cry.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Jian finally ran out of strength to cry and reduced to soft, broken sobs.

Yan Changye then casually put away the birth certificates and the two men's ID cards, his peach blossom eyes looking down at him indifferently, and slowly mockingly said, "You're something else, you even brought the birth certificates."

Xie Jian met Yan Changye's tearful eyes with a quiet gaze, pursing her lips without saying a word.

"I can tolerate your antics on ordinary days, I indulge you and let you have your way." Yan Changye looked at the unreliable Xie Jian, "But look at what you did today? Clinging to me relentlessly, Xie Jian, can't you be a little more dignified!"

"I'm such a loser!" Xie Jian wiped his tears with a tissue. "You should have another successful child and just give me to Manman."

Yan Changye looked at him and laughed angrily: "Don't think I'm afraid to have children."

After saying that, seeing Xie Jian's silly and cute expression, Yan Changye didn't even want to say anything more. He simply picked him up with one hand and, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, threw him into the car: "I will personally take you back to Yushui Bay."

At night, Yan Changye returned to Xie's company to work overtime. Xie Jian and Yan Yu crawled into the same bed, turned on a night light, and chatted.

"She hugged me so many times." Xie Jian sighed. "Brother, no wonder Daddy would leave us behind and go to the capital to hug Manman to sleep whenever he had free time. She's so fragrant and soft, completely different from Daddy's hard and uncomfortable feeling!"

Yan Yu gave a faint "hmm".

"You should go see her next time," Xie Jian said, tilting his head. "You'll like her a lot too."

Yan Yu: "I've already met him."

Across the bustling crowds of the traditional Chinese culture exhibition, and through the bulletproof car windows.

Xie Jian exclaimed, "When did you see that before?"

He did not respond to the invitation to the banquet.

He simply picked up a small, traditional Chinese-style sachet from the bedside table and played with it.

Seeing that she hadn't received an answer, Xie changed the subject: "She also said that she wanted Daddy to take me to the capital for two months during the summer vacation."

Yan Yu suddenly felt a bit irritable.

Xie Jian leaned closer with his chubby little face, his sweet, childlike voice asking, "Do you want to come along?"

Yan Yu: "...I'm not going."

Xie Jian sighed, "What if I go to the capital this time, and Manman likes me so much that she doesn't want me to come back and keeps me by her side? You won't be jealous of me, will you?"

“No.” Yan Yu paused. “You are going to inherit the Xie family business. No matter how long you stay in the capital, you are just staying temporarily. You will have to come back sooner or later.”

"how about you?"

“My household registration is in the capital,” Yan Yu said slowly. “The Yan family business that I am going to inherit is also in the capital.”

Xie Jian turned around abruptly, his back to him, clearly annoyed.

Jiang Manman returned to the capital and started getting busy.

During that time, I had a meal at the Jiang family villa.

Jiang Che hasn't returned from his trip yet. He's only posted some photos of his daily life in the family group chat. The most recent photo was taken in Chongqing.

"Sis, the food in Chongqing is amazing! You love spicy food, you must come to Chongqing, you'll love it here."

Jiang Che tagged Jiang Manman in the group chat, his tone full of curiosity, "There are so many beautiful women here, with such great skin. If I ever want to date, I'll definitely come to Chongqing to find someone."

Jiang Manman found it amusing: "You're eighteen now, you can start looking for someone now." "Sister, don't tease me!" Jiang Che was in a great mood. "Let's not talk now, I'm going to take the light rail that goes through buildings."

The chat ends.

Chen Suyan served Jiang Manman some food: "You should take some time to go out for a walk sometime. You're always busy with work, it's tiring to watch."

"Wait until Yan Changye is finished with his work."

Jiang Manman hadn't contacted Yan Changye for several days, but there had been a lot of sensitive news in the economic sector lately, and the stock market was also changing rapidly. The Xie family conglomerate, as the main force in confronting foreign countries, was frequently trending on social media.

On the Yan Group side, Yan Changye also allocated a lot of resources to join forces with the Xie family to launch a commercial attack on SKY and BlackRock conglomerates.

A quick scroll through my phone reveals a deluge of related news:

[Xie Yunxi, president of the Xie Group, acquires 16 subsidiaries of HL Group, setting a new record for the Xie Group's scale]

[The Xie Conglomerate clashes with SKY in a business battle in Northern Europe. Chairman Xie Yuheng, leading the Xie Conglomerate's top legal team, wins the negotiations, breaking SKY's blockade in Northern Europe and causing it heavy losses.]

[Yan Changye, Chairman of Yanjing Group, personally signed a 100 billion yuan support plan, joining forces with Xie Yunxi of the Xie family conglomerate to break the deadlock]

BlackRock consortium announces withdrawal from Asian market

……

The business world is like a battlefield, and the situation changes in an instant. Jiang Manman has been hesitant to make phone calls lately, fearing that she might disturb Yan Changye's work.

She only chatted with Xie Jian occasionally in the evenings. From the conversations, she learned that not only Yan Changye, but also Xie Jian's father, Xie Yunxi, had not been home recently. They had been staying in large hotels near the company and occasionally went abroad to meet with Xie Yuheng.

The wind has not yet calmed, and the waves are far from still.

The battle, fought without gunfire, continued until the end of the month.

Jiang Che's results were in, and they were roughly as expected. His last stop on his trip was Hong Kong, and he returned with a strange look on his face. He went straight to Mansion No. 1 to find Jiang Manman.

"Sis, is your husband having an affair?"

Jiang Manman looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Che took a big gulp of iced drink, a little uneasy: "Didn't you say your brother-in-law was in Hong Kong? After the scores came out, I flew directly from Shanghai to Hong Kong to discuss the application process with him and get his advice. But I only saw him once in three days in Hong Kong, and it was less than ten minutes before I had to rush off to a meeting."

Jiang Manman hummed in agreement.

“But this is Xie Yunxi’s territory. He’s just an outsider from the capital. It’s only a hundred billion in support. How busy could he be?” Jiang Che paused for a moment. “Besides, I saw Shen Zongqian give him goji berry tea! It’s not like he’s overexerted in that area. Why would he need to replenish like this?”

Jiang Manman gave him a light glare: "How can you, a science student, have such a vivid imagination? Alright, you should worry about your college application first. Don't overthink Yan Changye's matter."

Jiang Che was worried: "Sis, don't take this lightly."

"Alright, I understand." Jiang Manman wasn't going to discuss this topic anymore. "Are you going back to the Jiang family home, or are you staying here for the night?"

“Go back. Your mother is easily startled. Every time I stay at your place, she always lectures me for ages.”

After dinner, Jiang Che left behind a large pile of travel souvenirs.

Jiang Manman was wondering whether she should call Yan Changye when Yan Changye took the initiative to send her a video call at around 11 p.m.

He changed into his pajamas, so he must have finished his work; the background doesn't look like a hotel.

He held a cup of Malva nut tea in his hand.

"Aren't you at the hotel?" Jiang Manman asked.

Yan Changye picked up his phone, slowly turned it around, and finally shook it on Xie Jian, who was sleeping soundly next to him: "I'm at Yushui Bay, taking care of the child!"

Jiang Manman stared at the tea in his hand: "You're drinking pangdahai (a type of herbal tea)?"
