Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 594 - 592: Flattering Loudly

Jiayi walked over, "Mommy, Zaizai is okay. During this time, I will stay here with Zaizai first. I’m not at ease with him being here alone. As for later... we’ll see how things go."

Xia Tingxuan, who had been agitated all night, had finally calmed down. Seeing her daughter relatively composed, she looked up at the second-floor window where the light was on and fell silent.

Never mind, no matter what, that man would not likely treat Zaizai poorly.

She steadied her emotions, "Alright, then you stay here with Zaizai for now. In any case, at the latest you will only be staying until next week."

"At the latest stay until... next week?" Jiayi was puzzled as it seemed her mother was hinting at something.

Xia Tingxuan no longer hid the matter: "I’ve contacted S Country."

"You’ve reached out to Daddy?" Jiayi was surprised.

"I was frantic then. I didn’t know whom to turn to. If the Huo Family were to fight us for Zaizai, we would definitely lose. So, I called your daddy. He should be able to make time to come to China by the end of next week at the latest. By then, the Chu Family will handle the negotiations, which will certainly carry more weight than just us, mother and daughter."

George was listening on the side and couldn’t help but show a slight change in expression, though his tone remained gentle, "It’s getting late, Miss Jiayi."

Jiayi glanced at Xia Tingxuan, "Mommy, you and Uncle Ye go back first."

Xia Tingxuan looked at the glittering villa under the night sky, furrowed her brow, collected herself, and was about to leave with Ye Yongning when George seemed to make up his mind and called out, "I have a few personal words to say, if I may speak with Miss Xia."

Xia Tingxuan stopped in her tracks.

Jiayi was somewhat amazed. In her memory, George was always taciturn, cold, and a loyal servant who rigorously followed Huo Zhenyang’s orders, never expressing any personal opinions. What could he have to say to her mother now?

Xia Tingxuan had already spoken, "Please speak frankly."

George pronounced each word deliberately, "Miss Xia suffered both mentally and physically at the hands of a powerful man when she was young, and now you have a deep mistrust of men with status, fearing that your daughter will follow in your footsteps, leading to an overprotection of Miss Jiayi that could be considered extreme. This is a normal reaction, one which I personally understand very well, as I might have done the same. However, if you reject Miss Jiayi’s closeness to the Boss because of your own experiences, it might not be the right decision. The man you encountered in your youth does not represent the man Miss Jiayi has met."

Jiayi’s heart stirred, and she suddenly looked up at George.

Xia Tingxuan’s palm involuntarily clenched: "How could you know so much about me... "

"Miss Xia wants to ask, why I am so familiar with the fact that you were once deceived by Chu Yanhan, almost killed by a hitman hired by Mrs. Chu Xuan Yu, and then confined in an asylum for four or five years, correct?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Jiayi’s heart pounded violently: "The detective and social workers who found my mommy in the asylum and brought her to work for the Chu Family, were they... "

George’s eyes flickered as he looked straight at Xia Tingxuan: "That’s right, it was the Boss who assigned me to track down your whereabouts. And as for the rapid fall of the Xuan Family, it was also because the Boss secretly assisted Nie Yixiao’s ISM Organization, enabling them to swiftly find evidence of Xuan Yu’s family colluding with the enemy. Honestly, that vendetta against Xuan Yu was avenged by the Boss for you. I’m not speaking on behalf of the Boss to take credit. In fact, the Boss doesn’t even deign to mention it for credit, because helping you was seen as something very trivial for him, so trivial that it wasn’t worth mentioning at all. With this in mind, do you still think that the Boss was merely playing with Miss Jiayi four years ago?"

There was silence in the courtyard.

After a long silence, Xia Tingxuan finally calmed her emotions and suppressed the inner tumult, "I am very thankful to Mr. Huo for pulling me out of hell for Jiayi’s sake. However, that matter and Jiayi’s are two different issues. Jiayi has her own life now, and if she is unwilling to return to the Huo Family, then as her mother, I can only stand on my daughter’s side."

The tone of Xia Tingxuan’s words had evidently softened quite a bit.

Seeing this as a good sign, George did not continue further, "It’s late. Miss Xia and Director Ye should head back."

As Jiayi escorted her mother and Ye Yongning to the door, she said, "Uncle Ye, my mom is living alone now. I might not be able to come back constantly during this period, so I’m entrusting you to take care of her from time to time."

"Don’t worry. But you, if there’s anything, remember to talk to us," said Ye Yongning with a gentle tone, glancing at Xia Tingxuan once more.

Jiayi knew that Ye Yongning was pursuing her mother, and even if it was left unsaid, he would take extra care of her. Ye Yongning had a calm demeanor, and he wasn’t as unreliable as Daddy, so she felt quite at ease.

She watched her mom and Ye Yongning get into the car and drive away, then turned around and caught sight of George on the steps.

It had to be said, George’s words must have greatly improved Mom’s impression of Huo Zhenyang.

She pondered for a moment and ultimately couldn’t help but to test the waters, "Did your Boss tell you to say all this to my mom specifically, just to win her favor, right?"

George didn’t deny it, "Miss Jiayi, Boss said that winning the favor of your future mother-in-law is only natural."

As expected—

He even used George to self-righteously say how he disdains to take credit, when in fact he was clearly buttering her up ostentatiously.

She couldn’t help but laugh out of irritation, clenching her fists.

After entering the house and going upstairs, Jiayi heard from Auntie Li that Zaizai had already returned to his room.

She went to the specially cleared out children’s room.

Zaizai, having finished his milk, was already lying on the bed, asleep with his plump little bottom sticking up in the air.

She straightened Zaizai’s blanket and looked around the room, which was obviously arranged with care, despite being a temporary setup, and in just a few days, it looked like a little kingdom.

The furniture was all in shades of soft pink that kids love, the carpet and wallpaper featured Zaizai’s favorite cartoon patterns, there was a small desk in the corner suitable for a toddler’s height, and even a designated toy area, filled with toys that Zaizai liked.

Despite not wanting Zaizai to return to the Huo Family, it had to be admitted that he would indeed be very happy here.

She stood up, turned off the light, closed the door behind her, and walked along the second floor corridor, heading to the guest room Auntie Li had prepared for her, when she bumped into Huo Zhenyang head-on.

Night had fallen. The corridor was lit with small spotlights casting an orange glow, shining on him, coating him in a regal luster akin to that of a king.

He was about to head back to his bedroom, and upon bumping into her, he said indifferently, "Has your mother left?"

Jiayi nodded, her voice softly touched with an unperceived gentleness, "Thank you."

She felt slightly embarrassed as she said these three words; just ten minutes before, they had been at odds with each other.

But since he had helped Mommy, she wouldn’t begrudge a word of thanks.

She was the kind of person who spoke her mind, and believed in treating matters on their own merits.

Of course, Huo Zhenyang knew what she was thanking him for, and that wasn’t the response he wanted to hear.

Still, it was progress compared to before.

"Don’t you have anything else to say?" he asked, casually straightening his collar, eyebrows slightly raised.
