Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 278 This Dad is Yours 3

Jiang He opened her eyes and heard sounds coming from outside the room.

By this time, Mr. Jiang should have already received the call.

It all started with this phone call tonight.

Jiang He opened the door to the room.

Jiang's father and mother were both standing outside.

Jiang's mother handed Jiang's father his briefcase, while he was getting dressed.

"Xiao He, why did you come out? It's cold outside, go back to your room."

Jiang's mother saw Jiang He run out of the room.

He put down his briefcase, walked over, and pulled Jiang He back to her room.

Jiang He glanced at her mother, who was also only wearing a thin nightgown.

It's late autumn now, and it can still get a bit chilly at night.

"Mom, are you going out?"

"Xiaohe, Dad has something to do at the construction site and has to go out. Mom will stay home and sleep with you. Dad will be back tomorrow morning to bring you breakfast."

Jiang's father also came over from the doorway and stood at the door of Jiang He's room to comfort her.

"Honey, I'm leaving now."

"Be careful on your way, and call me if anything happens."

Father Jiang went out.

Jiang's mother did not leave; she stayed by Jiang He's side.

"How about Mom sleeps with you tonight?"

"Okay, Mom, let's go to sleep now."

The next morning, Jiang's mother woke up early and checked her phone. Jiang's father hadn't sent any messages all night, so she wondered how things had gone.

She wanted to ask about the situation, but was worried about bothering Mr. Jiang.

Jiang's mother got up, tidied the house, and prepared breakfast for Jiang He.

It seems that Mr. Jiang will not be back before breakfast.

Jiang's mother called Jiang He to get up.

"Mom, is Dad back?"

"Xiaohe, Dad is still busy and hasn't come back yet."

"Didn't Dad say yesterday that he would bring me breakfast?"

"Well, Daddy's situation is a bit tricky, and he needs a little more time, so Mommy prepared breakfast for Xiaohe. Shall we forgive Daddy?"

"Then I'll eat the breakfast Mom prepared for me. When is Dad coming back?"

Jiang He quietly ate the breakfast prepared by her mother.

Jiang's mother sent a message to Jiang's father, asking him how things were going.

Mr. Jiang replied that the matter had not been resolved yet and he could not return for the time being. He asked Mrs. Jiang to take Jiang He to school, and he would try his best to return that evening.

Jiang's mother comforted Jiang's father, telling him not to worry about the family and that she would take good care of Jiang He.

Let him focus on resolving the issues outside.

"Xiaohe, can Mom take you to school later? Dad has something to do today and can't take you to school."

“Mom, I understand. I can go to school by myself. I’m a big kid now.”

The primary school is very close to the neighborhood, just across the street, and some of Jiang He's classmates go to school on their own.

However, she used to be taken to school by her father or mother.

But now she has turned ten, is a big girl, and can go to school by herself.

"Yes, our Xiaohe is a big girl now. How about you go to school by yourself today, and Mommy goes to buy groceries, okay?"

"Okay, Mom, I'm done eating. I'm going to get my schoolbag."

Jiang He went out and ran into her classmate and good friend Li Ziyan in the neighborhood.

Li Ziyan was taken to school by her grandmother.

"Good morning, Ziyan, Grandma Ziyan," Jiang He greeted them.

"Xiao He, let's go to school together."

Li Ziyan was delighted to see her good friend and took Jiang He's hand.

The two walked hand in hand.

Grandma Ziyan looked at Jiang He, and then at the person behind Jiang He.

Jiang's mother walked at a distance behind, and when Grandma Ziyan looked over, she smiled and nodded.

"Xiao He, are you going to school alone today?"

Grandma Ziyan asked Jiang He curiously.

"Grandma Ziyan, I turned ten yesterday. I'm a big girl now. Starting today, I'll go to school by myself."

Grandma Ziyan understands now; no wonder Jiang He's mother lives so far away.

"Grandma, I want to go to school by myself too. Please don't take me anymore."

Seeing that Jiang He was going to school alone, Li Ziyan wanted to become a brave big girl like her best friend.

"Ziyan, Xiaohe has already turned ten and is a big girl now. Your birthday hasn't come yet."

Grandma Ziyan said to Li Ziyan with a smile.

Li Ziyan pouted and said listlessly, "My birthday is still a long way off."

"It's not far off, just a few months away. Well, your birthday will be around the time you have your winter break this semester, after the New Year, and when school starts again."

Grandma Ziyan sent the two children to school.

Jiang He and Li Ziyan walked towards the classroom together.

Jiang's mother came up from behind.

She followed behind the whole time.

He went up to thank Grandma Ziyan.

"Xiaohe said she wanted to go to school by herself, so I followed behind to see what was going on. Grandma Ziyan, thank you for what you just said."

"Xiaohe's mom, don't be so polite. Ziyan also told me that she wants to be a brave big kid like Xiaohe."

Let them go to school on their own from now on. That way, we can have an easier time.”

The two walked towards the market together as they talked.

When Jiang He was dismissed from school in the evening, her mother came to pick her up.

"Xiaohe, Daddy's home. Let's go home."

Jiang's mother was in a good mood, and Jiang's father finally returned in the afternoon.

Seeing that her father was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got home, Jiang's mother felt very sorry for him.

I didn't ask Jiang's father how he was doing. Judging from his appearance, he probably didn't get a good rest last night, so I let him get a good night's sleep.

"Dad is finally back, that's great."

Jiang He was so excited that she didn't even have time to greet her good friend before pulling her mother and running home quickly.

Seeing that Jiang He had run away, Li Ziyan called out to her twice, but Jiang He ignored her.

"Grandma, why did Xiaohe run away? She clearly said she would take me to her house after school to show me the birthday present she just received yesterday."

Li Ziyan was very angry that Jiang He had broken his promise.

"Xiaohe must have something urgent. You can make an appointment with Xiaohe to see the gift again tomorrow."

Grandma Ziyan thought about how she had just heard Jiang He say, "Dad is finally back." She figured that Jiang's father had been away on a business trip, and that's why Jiang He was so excited to be back today.

As soon as Jiang He entered the house, she excitedly shouted, "Dad, you're back!"

However, Jiang He did not see her father.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

Jiang's mother looked at the shoes by the door; the shoes were still there, and the person was at home.

Just now, when she went out to pick up Jiang He, Jiang's father got up.

People should be at home.

Jiang's mother walked into the room and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaohe, Daddy is taking a shower. Would you like to wash your hands? Then Mommy will cook a dish and we can eat."

Jiang's mother went into the kitchen.

Jiang He put her schoolbag in the room.

Take out today's homework and start doing it.

After a while, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Mr. Jiang came out.

Is Xiaohe doing her homework?

"Dad, you're back. You promised me yesterday you'd buy me breakfast, but you didn't keep your promise."

"Xiaohe, I'm sorry, Daddy broke his promise. I'll definitely buy you breakfast tomorrow, okay? I'll take you to school tomorrow too."

Did you sleep in this morning? Did Mom rush you to school?

Jiang's father squatted down in front of Jiang He and repeatedly promised that he would definitely buy her breakfast the next day.
