"Where is your sense of propriety?"
Xiao Jin interjected, his expression grave. "When did Kang Li elope? Shen Yun, you need to be certain. Without proper investigation, you have no right to make such claims. Kang Li was sent abroad by the state for advanced studies, a term of three years. When Kang Li returns, if he were to hear what you've said today, how do you imagine he would react?"
"Sent abroad for studies? Only an idiot would believe that!"
Shen Yun refused to accept a single word of it.
"You might not know this, but the entire courtyard is buzzing with talk. Kang Li gave birth to triplets abroad. Furthermore, Kang Li's parents were away from the courtyard for two months, traveling abroad to assist their daughter during her confinement period."
As Xiao Jin concluded, Shen Yun's eyes widened in astonishment. After a prolonged moment, she snapped back to the present and declared, "I refuse to believe it!"
"Go ask around the courtyard yourself,"
Xiao Jin's tone was nonchalant as he averted his gaze from Shen Yun.
"I don't believe it..."
Shaking her head, Shen Yun vanished from the study doorway. She retreated to the master bedroom, settling onto the edge of the bed in a daze.
How could this be possible?
If that woman truly gave birth to triplets abroad, it meant she was already pregnant before her departure. This implied that the months Luo Yanqing was away, supposedly resting, were actually spent accompanying that woman abroad during her postpartum recovery?
This line of thought stoked Shen Yun's jealousy, her heart aching with bitterness.
What should have been her own marriage, why did it fall into the hands of that Kang woman? If... if she were Luo Yanqing's wife, then the one giving birth to triplets would be her, Shen Yun...
At some point, her face was inexplicably wet with tears.
Shen Yun suddenly let out a laugh, a sound filled with both bitterness and sourness. She couldn't comprehend why she clung to this obsession, knowing full well it was an impossibility. She knew her life had been stable for years. Why, upon seeing a tiny crack, did she feel compelled to leap in, mistaking it for an opportunity?
Had she been possessed?
...
Abroad.
Jiang Family Estate.
"For Dad?"
Upon receiving a stack of blueprints from his cherished daughter, Jiang Boya's eyes were filled with curiosity.
Beside him, Jiang Hongfa shared the same sentiment.
"Yes,"
Kang Li affirmed with a smile, "Take a look."
"Alright, I'll just..." Before he could finish, his gaze landed on the first sheet, and Jiang Boya's eyes shot wide with shock. "Lili... this... this... surely this is from you?"
Flipping rapidly through the remaining blueprints, Jiang Boya's astonishment grew, his eyes never leaving the pages, brimming with disbelief.
"I drew them."
Kang Li offered no denial.
"But this is completely unrelated to your field of study," Jiang Boya stated, handing the blueprints to Jiang Hongfa. He looked directly at Kang Li, his precious daughter. "Could it be that you're self-taught?"
Seeing Kang Li nod, Jiang Boya swelled with immense pride and confidence. "My daughter is truly exceptional. Not only is she pursuing PhDs in two majors, but she's also delving into a third. Astonishing, truly astonishing! I pale in comparison to your capabilities!"
"You know I have a photographic memory. Learning, for me, is simply a matter of desire; nothing is beyond my grasp."
Her bright, beautiful eyes sparkled with delight as Kang Li continued, "I am overjoyed that you are establishing a factory and founding a company domestically. These blueprints are my gift to you. You can present them to the company's R&D department.
If they deem them viable, commence production. I am confident that before long, our nation's own brand of home appliances will not only command a significant share of the domestic market but also secure a foothold in international markets."
The Jiang Enterprises encompassed various sectors, including daily chemicals and appliances.
Following domestic market research, Jiang Boya intended to expand the group's enterprises nationwide to contribute to national construction.
Regarding overseas ventures, the existing pathways would largely remain unchanged.
Although this was the official explanation, Father Xiao harbored doubts about Xiao Jin's pretext. He suspected his eldest son was preoccupied with other personal matters but chose not to pry out of respect.
"Understood."
With a smile, Xiao Jin nodded.
The following day.
At the prearranged time, Xiao Jin met Austin at a hotel, accompanied by Jian. To foster interaction between Austin and Jian's son, Xiao Jin entrusted Jian to Austin, exchanged pleasantries, and then departed on his own.
"Do you still recognize Dad?"
Within the guest room, Austin sat beside Jian, his gaze gentle as he addressed the young man before him. This was his son, visibly matured since his departure, yet possessing facial features that bore an unmistakable resemblance to his father, no matter how one looked.
