Recognizing the familiar car, Ji Shuang’s face lit up with a smile.
Though she had never ridden in Jiang Ning’s car, Jiang Ning had visited the Qi Family many times, and Ji Shuang had long memorized Jiang Ning’s license plate number.
She knew for certain it was Jiang Ning returning with her silly son.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, there was movement outside, and Qi Xingzhou’s tall, elegant figure appeared at the door.
Qi Xingzhou didn’t notice Ji Shuang trimming flower branches in the small living room; he stood at the entryway, bending down to change his shoes.
After changing his shoes, he meticulously placed them into his own shoe cabinet, his actions precise and disciplined, his demeanor cold.
When not by Jiang Ning’s side, he seemed to transform back into a chilly little mushroom.
Meanwhile, after dropping off Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning didn’t immediately head home.
She turned the steering wheel and drove to the entrance of a Martial Arts Gym, where she sparred with a partner twice and trained for another half hour. Feeling physically tired, she finally drove back to her residential area.
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Ning finally had time to ask the system to retrieve the data on Fu Fangzhou’s biological parents.
While in the private room this afternoon, in the presence of Fu Fangzhou and Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning hadn’t been able to closely examine their information, but one name stood out as particularly familiar.
[Li Manhong, born in An Province, now 49 years old, graduated from Z University, married Chen Jiang at age 23, the couple has three sons and a daughter, full-time housewife for 29 years...]
[Chen Jiang, born in An Province, now 51 years old, graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Z University, master’s from Zhongda Finance and Law University, chairman of Jianghong Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd, president of An Province Enterprise Association, head of Jianghong Love Public Foundation...]
Certainly it was him!
Jiang Ning stared at Chen Jiang’s personal information displayed on the system’s screen.
His Jianghong Electronics had been one of the first domestic electrical brands when the country’s economy was rising, and one of the first successful national enterprises.
In the first 20 years, it was known throughout Hua Country, not in every household, but definitely known by everyone.
Nowadays, in the age of internet information, Chen Jiang and his Jianghong Group often appear in major online platform reports.
However, in all the news regarding him, whether about his career or personal life, it seemed they never mentioned he had a son lost to the outside world?
This was why Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised when she saw the familiar name this afternoon.
[As for Fu Fangzhou, saying he’s lucky, he was abandoned right after birth. Saying he’s not, he turned from a billion-dollar young master into a trillion-dollar young master.] The system chimed in, looking at Fu Fangzhou’s biological parents’ information, unable to hold back its comment.
Jiang Ning now understood the entire cause of what happened back then.
No wonder Chen Jiang hadn’t mentioned his lost son to the public all these years; no wonder Fu Fangzhou couldn’t match with his biological parents at the blood bank. The reason was that the Chen family had another "Fu Fangzhou."
Chen Jiang and Li Manhong didn’t even know the one currently in the Chen family wasn’t actually their biological son!
"System, copy this information to my phone first." Jiang Ning instructed.
The system was astonishingly efficient; as soon as it responded, Jiang Ning’s phone beeped softly, and an anonymous file quietly appeared on her phone.
Before Jiang Ning could open it, her phone vibrated again.
Seeing the caller ID "Shen Zha" on the screen, Jiang Ning swiped her finger and answered the call: "Hello? Director Shen?"
"Hahaha, it’s me." Shen Zha’s familiar voice came through the phone, chuckling as he spoke to Jiang Ning: "Jiang Ning, our variety show’s preliminary filming preparations are ready, and we’re planning to start shooting in three days. The filming location is quite remote, so guests need to travel there on their own; I’ll send you an address later. But don’t worry, once you arrive, staff will be there to greet you in advance."
Normally, such matters would be handled by Shen Zha’s assistant and the guests’ agents.
But Jiang Ning has no agent nor assistant, and she isn’t even considered an industry insider; yet her fame far surpasses the popular Xiao Hua.
Shen Zha thought he might have to work with Jiang Ning in the future, so he personally called to inform her.
