“Okay then,” Jiang Wei replied expressionlessly and turned around to go back upstairs.

Su Zhi’en was stunned. “Jiang Wei, are you going upstairs already?”

Jiang Wei replied, “Yes, I’m going back to bed.”

Jiang Wei finally responded to Su Zhi’en because she had treated his father. Su Zhi’en was extremely happy that Jiang Wei had finally responded to her. She quickly walked toward him and struck while the iron was hot. “Can Aunt Zhi’en tuck you in?”

“There’s no need,” Jiang Wei firmly refused.

Su Zhi’en felt that she had overstepped, but she didn’t force Jiang Chen, nor did she give up trying to interact with him. It wasn’t easy for her to come and visit her son, so of course, she wouldn’t give up trying so quickly. “By the way, I brought you some delicious food. You should try some. I think you will like it.”

Su Zhi’en didn’t wait for Jiang Chen to react. She immediately turned around, picked up her bag, and took out a box of hibiscus cake. It was Su Zhi’en’s favorite, and she had just made it today. She would often make it because Bai Yu’an and Bai Yuning also liked it.

When Ming Ze called and said that Su Zhi’en would have a chance to see Jiang Wei, she subconsciously packed the last box of hibiscus cake as she was leaving the house. However, she didn’t expect to give it to Jiang Wei.

Before Jiang Wei could say anything, the maid appeared and said, “What do you have in your hands? How dare you give that to Young Master Jiang?”

“Don’t worry. I made it myself. There are no issues with it. Here, I’ll eat some to show you that it’s safe.” Su Zhi’en just wanted to prove that the cake wasn’t poisonous.

Even though she was just a maid, she refused to believe Su Zhi’en. The maid didn’t really care if the cake that Su Zhi’en brought was poisonous or not.

“Just because you ate it doesn’t mean it’s not poisonous. Who are you to offer Yong Master Jiang strange food? He won’t just eat any food! Young Master Jiang, let’s go back to sleep.”

“Y-You…” Su Zhi’en’s face turned red. She was Jiang Wei’s mother, but the others treated her as though she was just a stranger.

Su Zhi’en’s eyes turned red as she looked at Jiang Wei get taken away. She felt offended at this moment, as though a knife had stabbed her heart. It was so unbearable that she almost began to cry. She only wanted to see her son’s reaction.

Just like that, Jiang Wei was being taken away by the maid. However, Jiang Wei felt Su Zhi’en gazing toward him for some reason. It reminded him of that time on the boat when Su Zhi’en looked at him with the same intensity. She had bitterly begged Jiang Wei to go over so that she could get a closer look at him.

“Give it to me!” Jiang Wei suddenly turned around and looked at Su Zhi’en.

Amid Su Zhi’en’s sadness, she became overjoyed as if she had come back to life. She immediately ran over to Jiang Wei with the box of hibiscus cake in her hands.

“Jiang Wei, I knew you wouldn’t mind. Don’t worry, I’ve made it with fresh ingredients, and it’s very delicious. You can try it anytime you want. I can make more if you like it.” Su Zhi’en squatted in front of Jiang Wei, as her eyes were still red. When she said this, she couldn’t help but be happy. She foolishly laughed and cried at the same time.

“Okay,” Jiang Wei said coldly. He then took the box of hibiscus cake into his room. Jiang Wei had never eaten such a thing before. He was the future heir of the Jiang family. All of his clothes, food, and accommodations were top-notch. He had never eaten anything that a professional chef didn’t prepare.

Jiang Wei glanced at the hibiscus cake. It was fragrant, and it smelled like honey and flowers. He knew that he would like it the moment he smelled it.

Su Zhi’en then left feeling satisfied. As soon as she left, the maid who had tried to stop Su Zhi’en immediately returned to her bedroom and secretly made a phone call. “Miss Tong, the woman you mentioned, came to Fu Mansion just now.”

“She did?!” Tong Jingxian was so shocked and angry that even her voice changed.

The maid quickly nodded. “She said that she came here to treat Master Jiang. I saw her treating him with acupuncture, and Master Jiang ended up falling asleep. She even brought a box of hibiscus cake that she made for Young Master Jiang, and he surprisingly accepted it. Who is that woman, Miss Tong? Why didn’t Master Jiang and his son chase her out? I also seemed to have offended that woman. This…”

Tong Jingxian was silent. She couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to the maid’s pointless ranting. Tong Jingxian only felt anger in her heart. ‘It would seem that I have underestimated you, Su Zhi’en. It looks like you have some tricks up your sleeve. Not only did you manage to go into Fu Mansion, but your ex-husband and your son have also begun to trust you. Do you want to reclaim your position as Madam Jiang? Keep dreaming!’

Tong Jingxian’s eyes glinted with a strong murderous intent as she stood in the darkness.

“Miss Tong, are you there?”
