Jiang Ye rolled his eyes:
"I already told you, no!"
Previously, Pei San had held about twenty percent doubt.
Now, having witnessed with his own eyes, he was quite certain.
Lao Si definitely wouldn’t talk nonsense; he wasn’t that kind of person.
Then, he began to smile again,
"Hey, kiddo, how are you!" he greeted.
Little Yaoyao, eating a lollipop, didn’t respond immediately but looked towards Jiang Ye.
It was then that Jiang Ye introduced him:
"This is your Uncle Pei San, just call him Uncle San."
Then, Little Yaoyao softly called out:
Pei San, however, was extremely surprised, his suspicious gaze darted towards Jiang Ye, but unfortunately, Jiang Ye didn’t clarify anything right away.
Pei San’s curiosity was really piqued.
At this moment, Zhou Er and Old Five also came forward:
"What about us?" they chimed in.
Jiang Ye continued the introductions:
"Yaoyao, this is Uncle Er, and this is Uncle Wu."
Little Yaoyao had never really experienced such a situation before, which caused her to tightly clutch Jiang Ye’s shirt collar:
"Uncle Er, Uncle Wu."
Clearly, both men were also taken aback by this address.
But none of them were ordinary people; their surprise was only momentary, and their expressions revealed nothing.
"Hello, Little Yaoyao, right?
Can Uncle Wu hold you for a bit?"
Little Yaoyao immediately shook her head:
Her whole little body shrank into Jiang Ye’s embrace.
Don’t think children are foolish; in fact, children are the most intelligent and sensitive.
Jiang Ye quickly hugged the little kid in his arms and said to Old Five:
"Don’t try to take advantage of our little one here, go hug someone else."
"Give it up, Lao Si, as if she’s really your girl."
For a moment, Zhou Er and Pei San looked speechlessly at Old Five:
Don’t you know not to say it out loud? Believe it or not, your Lao Si will beat you to death?
If Jiang Ye weren’t holding a child, he probably would have actually hit him.
Fortunately, the host quickly intervened:
"Young Master Jiang, Young Master Zhou, Mr. Pei, Mr. Zheng, please come inside."
At this point, the male host also appeared, rushing out:
"Brother Ye, you finally arrived; everyone was waiting for you!" he said, his tone overflowing with respect.
Then he saw Little Yaoyao:
"Wow, this little kid is really pretty. Brother Ye, there’s a special play area for kids inside with dedicated caregivers."
Jiang Ye nodded: ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0velFire.ɴet
"Alright, let’s go in."
At that moment, a large group of people finally went inside.
Little Yaoyao, naturally lively, saw the other children in the play area and started fussing to get down:
"Uncle Jiang, Yaoyao wants to go play."
Jiang Ye called over a waiter, then handed Yaoyao to the waiter’s arms:
"Take her over there."
With Little Yaoyao away, the men obviously didn’t need to restrain themselves anymore.
"Lao Si, what’s the situation?"
"Yeah, Lao Si, why is that girl with you?"
"What exactly is her relationship with Jing?"
Jiang Ye, holding a champagne glass, took a couple of sips before answering:
"It’s just as you saw. As for the relationship, it’s quite complicated, hard to say."
What does ’hard to say’ mean?
Doing it on purpose, aren’t you?
"Then break it down for us."
Everyone just wanted to know.
"Alright, what do you want to know?" he replied, turning the question back on them.
The three men tacitly glanced toward the play area:
"First about that little girl, isn’t she supposed to be Jing’s daughter?"
"Yeah, she’s her daughter, legally speaking!"
"Any blood relation?"
Zhou Er and Pei San had known some details beforehand, but Old Five didn’t, and he seemed to finally catch on:
"Wait, wait, wait, Lao Si, you and Jing? No way, no way?"
