Because of Shang Xu, Mrs. Ji couldn’t refuse and could only hold him.
Jiang Nanshu had been observing the back seat the entire time.
She had to admire, this little guy was astute and sensitive.
It was hard to imagine that he was a young master raised in a wealthy family, not spoiled or domineering, but understanding and considerate of the people around him.
Seeing Shang Xu had fallen asleep.
Lu Qingyan finally spoke, "Xiao Xu has been growing up with the Lu Family since he was a one-year-old, he was brought to stay by my mother’s side."
Thinking of Lu Mother.
Jiang Nanshu hissed softly.
"Your mom really is crazy, I’ve never seen anyone as mad as her, it must have been so tough for you and Shang Xu to live with her, could it be that Shang Xu is also in the running to be the male lead?"
As for Jiang Nanshu’s inner thoughts, he neither affirmed nor denied them.
Lu Mother was indeed a madwoman, a neurotic with a strong desire for possession and control.
The unhappy marriage and her family’s brainwashing had turned her into this kind of person, if she wasn’t happy, then no one else was allowed to be.
A cold light flashed across Lu Qingyan’s eyes, "But in fact, I was the one who raised Xiao Xu from childhood, he is quite affectionate towards me. When he was just four years old, he was sent back to the Shang Family’s home, and I thought he would go to kindergarten, but he ended up locked up in a villa to study."
"What about Xuxu’s mom? Where is she?"
"The most miserable time in my childhood was when I got beaten by my parents and nearly froze to death in the snow. It seems that both he and I are quite lucky. I met Zhou Yanxu, and he has his protective younger uncle."
Jiang Hemian was certain.
Jiang Nanshu had not developed a second personality as Jiang Jingcheng had said.
Instead, her soul had been entirely replaced.
The previous Jiang Nanshu had died.
But this was better. He genuinely didn’t like his former sister.
And the important point for Lu Qingyan was,
She had met Zhou Yanxu at such a young age.
Lu Qingyan glanced at the sleeping Shang Xu through the rearview mirror, "His mother has come to the Shang Family’s villa to pick him up."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Nanshu thought hard but really couldn’t come up with any plot concerning Shang Xu.
"Huh, I’ve spent quite a bit of time with this little guy, how come there’s no trace of him in the storyline... I think hard, and there seems to be something about a child falling off the roof and dying, the details glossed over, and from that point on, Lu Qingyan starts to build his career. Later, he causes the Shang Family to go bankrupt... No way, the child who fell from the roof is Shang Xu?!"
Lu Qingyan’s driving nearly became unsteady.
Lu Junqin, Shang Xu’s mom, told him she would go back to the Shang Family and take good care of Shang Xu.
She would let him attend school and make friends like a normal child.
Darkness passed fleetingly through his eyes.
He seemed to have overlooked the fact that not only the villa next to the Jiang Family could trap a person, but any other place could do the same. Shang Xu wasn’t being kept in a place without daylight; according to Lu Mother’s educational philosophy, a child should be independent from a young age, and others couldn’t help him, or else it would be harmful to him.
If, in a situation without supervision,
Shang Xu climbed to the roof out of fear and accidentally fell to his death, it didn’t seem like an impossibility.
