chapter 2 Abandon wife and son

Ja Jiang quickly went to Gary Lu's office. As soon as she entered, she saw her two little troublemakers sitting on the sofa in the teacher's office, swinging their legs. When they saw her come in, their eyes lit up, and they immediately slid off the sofa and rushed over. "Mommy, you're finally out! We thought you were planning to live in the office forever!" "Mommy, you must be tired. Sit down, and I'll give you a back massage," they said, pulling Ja Jiang to sit on the sofa. Ja Jiang looked at the two thoughtful little ones and suddenly felt that being scolded was worth it. "You're behaving well now, but where were you when you were messing with my computer?" Gary Lu, who was behind his desk, saw this scene and was irritated. He said, "Blame it on your teacher! Always making Mommy work overtime. Look at her; she's almost malnourished!" "Yeah, Mommy is just a mortal. How can you keep making her work day and night?" added Harlan, nodding vigorously, while pinching Ja Jiang's shoulder. Gary Lu chuckled and said, "You two are the only ones protecting her! Everyone here at the research institute went through the same thing." After saying that, he shook his head and looked at Ja Jiang. "How is the research progressing this time?" Ja Jiang smiled and replied, "It's going smoothly. I'll send the data to your computer later. By the way, has the computer been restored?" Gary Lu ran his hand through his hair anxiously and said, "It's been an hour, and I still haven't been able to restore it." Ja Jiang smiled and patted Harlan's fair, delicate hand. "Go ahead and restore Teacher's computer, but no fooling around. What if important data is lost?" Harlan immediately responded with a childish voice, "Don't worry, Mommy. I always make backups and add multiple layers of protection. There's no way data will be lost!" While saying this, he obediently moved to Gary Lu's side and began restoring the computer. The little guy's fingers danced across the keyboard, typing a series of code. After a few minutes, the computer screen flickered and was immediately restored. Gary Lu looked at it and couldn't help but be amazed. His two disciples were indeed exceptionally talented. Hale, despite his young age, had mastered medical skills, could identify thousands of medicinal herbs, and had a unique talent in medicine. Harlan, on the other hand, was deeply interested in programming and had become quite the hacker. He was exceptionally sensitive to numbers and had a natural talent for investment. Moreover, these two little ones were exceptionally good-looking and had calm and lively personalities. This made it hard for him to scold them when they misbehaved; he ended up scolding Ja Jiang instead. Ja Jiang seemed to sense something and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Teacher. These two troublemakers have caused you trouble again. Please don't be mad." And don't come to scold me! You can't always blame me! Gary Lu saw her expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, I'm not going to scold you this time. I have a task for you. I'm planning to set up a research institute back in China, focusing on traditional Chinese medicine. However, I have a lot of work to do here and can't leave at the moment. So, I've decided to send you back." Ja Jiang didn't expect this and hesitated for a moment. Go back to China? She hadn't thought about returning to that place since she left six years ago. After all, she had no family or loved ones there. Besides, she had developed a connection with this place. "Teacher, I..." Ja Jiang began, subconsciously wanting to refuse. But Gary Lu interrupted her, "Ja Jiang, I know you don't want to go back, but I hope you'll consider it carefully. You've learned traditional Chinese medicine with me for these years, and you know how deep and profound it is. Abroad, there might not be enough medicinal herbs for your research, but in China, it's different. There are plenty of herbs available for you to use. More importantly, there are many hidden medical families in China, all with great talent and knowledge of ancient medical arts. You're interested in this, right? That's why I suggest you go back. With your abilities, you'll surely achieve great things. Moreover, you've undergone significant changes in these years. You can handle any situation or person now, right?" Ja Jiang heard this and fell silent. Indeed, it was true! In these years, she had undergone significant changes and become more resilient, able to handle any difficulty with ease. She no longer feared anything. Moreover, six years had passed, and that man... who knows, he might have already married his white moonlight. What did she have to be afraid of? With this in mind, Ja Jiang took a deep breath and nodded. "Teacher, I'll listen to you. I'll go back to China." Gary Lu smiled, somewhat relieved. "I'm glad you've thought it through so quickly. Don't worry, this time, I'll send Linda with you, and I'll also assign a professional team to assist you." "Alright, thank you, Teacher!" Ja Jiang nodded. While the two of them were talking, Hale and Harlan, the two cute little kids, exchanged glances and couldn't hide their excitement. Mommy is finally going back to China! They had wanted to go back for a long time! After all... their daddy was in China, and they had been wanting to see him for a long time! Of course, while seeing him, they also wanted to give him a piece of their minds. After all, he had abandoned their mommy! ‘ Two days later. Hai City, International Airport. Ja Jiang, with her two precious sons, set foot on the land she had been away from for six years. Just after getting off the plane and coming out of the corridor, Harlan clung to Ja Jiang's skirt, "Mommy, I need to pee, I need to go to the restroom." Ja Jiang and Hale couldn't help but laugh when they saw him. "Alright, I'll take you..." While talking, she couldn't help but ruffle the little guy's hair. The little guy shivered and said, "Mommy, don't pat me, I'm about to pee in my pants!" Ja Jiang couldn't help but chuckle and quickly took him to the restroom. After they entered the restroom, Hale followed his little brother inside, while Ja Jiang stayed behind to watch their luggage and send a message to her teacher to let him know they had arrived safely. At this moment, a slightly familiar voice suddenly entered her ears. "Useless! So many people, and you can't even watch a child. What are you good for?" The person speaking had a tone filled with anger, but it also had a unique coldness and deepness to it, incredibly pleasant to the ear. Ja Jiang's fingers, pressing on her phone, stiffened involuntarily. After six years, hearing this voice again, she felt no unfamiliarity at all, just a deeply familiar feeling that reached into her bones. Ja Jiang couldn't help but raise her head and saw a tall man not far away. His tall figure was enveloped in a black suit, and his long legs appeared elegant and restrained, exuding an air of nobility that made him extremely conspicuous in the crowd. From Ja Jiang's angle, she could see his perfect profile. Those features seemed like a work of art carefully crafted by the gods, without a single flaw, stunning enough to outshine the sun and moon. Andrew Li! Ja Jiang's heart suddenly tightened! She never expected to encounter this man on her first day back in China. Emotions that had been buried for many years suddenly stirred, but they quickly returned to their silent state. Her eyes were very pale and very cold. Towards this man, she could finally remain unchanged! At this moment, the two little ones who had gone to the restroom finally came out, cheerfully saying to Ja Jiang, "Mommy, we're done!" Ja Jiang suddenly came back to her senses, her heart almost stopping in shock. In her mind, one thought flashed: Hurry up and leave; don't let Hale and Harlan meet that man. Their faces are about seven or eight points similar. A single glance, and they'll be discovered. She didn't want any connection with that man anymore! Ja Jiang panicked, not waiting for the two little ones to respond. She quickly said, "Are you done? Let's go quickly. We don't want to keep your godmother waiting." Without waiting for their response, she hastily grabbed their luggage and left. On the other side, Andrew Li, who was on the phone, suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked over. In the corner of his eye, he barely caught a glimpse of a figure that seemed somewhat familiar. Ja Jiang—! Was it her? She had come back? Andrew Li immediately started to chase after her with long strides, but that figure had already blended into the crowd and disappeared. Andrew Li's eyes darkened, and the anger on his face became more evident. That woman, who had left so decisively all those years ago and heartlessly abandoned her child... how could she possibly come back!
