Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 302: You’re Xiao Wu’s Father?

It wasn’t just his hair. Later on, Xiao Wu had exhibited talent in music, and Ji Buwang happened to be able to teach Xiao Wu. Plus, he had so many musical instruments at home. To a certain extent, this proved that he was also talented.

Xiao Wu had said before that he and Teacher Ji liked to eat the same things and would even get food together.

Two days ago, Ji Buwang had accompanied Xiao Wu when he had performed at the music festival. The other parents had also asked if they were father and son. Like before, she had not thought much of it and had only said that they were teacher and student and not father and son.

That’s right, there’d actually been signs long ago, but it had never occurred to Mu Jingzhe that they were father and son.

Previously, she had always thought that Xiao Wu was Shao Qihai’s son. Later on, when she had found out that Xiao Wu was Shao Qiyun’s son, she had stopped thinking that he was Shao Qihai’s son.

This was Shao Qiyun after all. How could Ji Buwang have anything to do with Shao Qiyun?

Mu Jingzhe felt that she knew Ji Buwang well. He had face blindness and was a very proud person on the inside. How could a person like him be related to Shao Qiyun?

Thus, she had never thought about this and hadn’t expected… She hadn’t expected Shao Qiyun to suddenly say such a thing.

Speaking of this, it was really funny. Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang had known each other in the past. Later on, Ji Buwang had also gone to Great Eastern Village a few times and he usually lived in the county city. Shao Qiyun was also in the county city and had even returned to Great Eastern Village a few times, but they had never met.

Now that they’d finally met, this scenario had unfolded.

Ji Buwang looked at Shao Qiyun, who was on the ground. He could have picked her up directly, but he didn’t want to. Since they weren’t far from the hotel, he borrowed the hotel’s luggage cart and carried Shao Qiyun.

He looked at Mu Jingzhe and saw her staring at him in a daze. The emotions in her gaze were indescribable, but her expression made Ji Buwang’s heart ache.

“Jingzhe, let’s talk after we get back,” Ji Buwang said gently.

Mu Jingzhe came back to her senses and nodded silently. After taking two steps, she met the crew members and the director.

“Director, I have something to attend to here…” Mu Jingzhe said awkwardly. She saw that she couldn’t go anymore, but she couldn’t let Little Bei go alone either, for Little Bei definitely felt flustered as well.

Seeing this situation, the director nodded. “Then handle it first.”

He had worked with Mu Jingzhe for a period of time, so he could clearly see that Mu Jingzhe was responsible and serious. She only acted like this because she truly had something to do. He believed that she would definitely rush over once she was done.

Cao Yang and Xiao Mei, who had come to cause trouble previously, were watching from the side. “What’s going on? Didn’t you say she wasn’t her aunt? We agreed to talk to the director.”

“Stop it. They must be busy. Wait.” Xiao Mei quickly pulled Cao Yang back.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them and returned to the rental house.

Meanwhile, many people who lived nearby had gone to work. It was quiet enough. Shao Qihai had taken Shao Nan to participate in the exchange of the new generation of young authors, so he wasn’t at home either.

Mu Jingzhe thought for a moment and opened the room. “Little Bei, take Xiao Wu to rest in the room first. I’ll talk to Ji Buwang.”

Xiao Wu, who had lost his smile from the moment he had seen Shao Qiyun, was now a little pale. He frowned and tugged at Mu Jingzhe’s clothes. “Mommy, I want to hear it too. I want to know if he’s…” His biological father.

Xiao Wu had always liked Ji Buwang, but he liked him as a teacher or uncle. He had never thought that he might be his biological father.

Now that their relationship had changed, so had his mentality toward him. Xiao Wu didn’t know how to describe his feelings. It was complicated, but there wasn’t joy among his mixed emotions.

“Xiao Wu, I know you want to hear it, but wait a while. It’s just Shao Qiyun spouting a bunch of nonsense. We don’t know the details yet. You know her situation too. The situation is still uncertain. Be good and wait here.”

Xiao Wu looked into Mu Jingzhe’s warm eyes and finally nodded. “Okay.”

Regardless of whether Teacher Ji was his biological father or not, at least he still had his mommy and daddy.

“Mommy, go ahead. I’ll accompany Xiao Wu.” Little Bei held Xiao Wu’s hand and was very sensible.

Mu Jingzhe forced a smile. “Alright.”

After helping Xiao Wu and Little Bei settle down, Mu Jingzhe closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief before turning to look at Ji Buwang.

Ji Buwang placed Shao Qiyun’s luggage cart aside and quickly walked over. “Jingzhe…”

Mu Jingzhe opened the door to the studio. “Come in.”

She walked in and turned around to look at Ji Buwang. She then asked directly, “Are you Xiao Wu’s biological father?”

Ji Buwang paused for a moment and didn’t answer. Mu Jingzhe emphasized her next words. “Ji Buwang, I want to hear the truth.”

“About this… I’ll talk to you after I figure it out.” Ji Buwang’s eyes were fixed on Mu Jingzhe, silently saying, “Believe me.”

Mu Jingzhe avoided his eyes. “Alright, then let’s get to the bottom of this. Let’s ask Shao Qiyun first.”

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t put her finger on what she was feeling. Logically speaking, since Xiao Wu’s biological father wasn’t a bad person and had turned out to be Ji Buwang, she should be happy. However, she didn’t feel any joy at all, only awkwardness.

Without looking at Ji Buwang, Mu Jingzhe wanted to bring Shao Qiyun over and wake her up first. However, Ji Buwang stopped her.

“Don’t wake her up yet. She’s unstable. I trust my own investigative abilities more.” Ji Buwang paused. “Who is she?”

Mu Jingzhe: “Shao Qiyun…”

“Shao Qihai’s younger sister?” Ji Buwang frowned. “So Shao Qihai helped his younger sister raise her child?”

As Ji Buwang spoke, he suddenly remembered Xiao Wu’s abnormal state during that period of time. “Xiao Wu wanted to give up music previously because he found out about his background?”

Ji Buwang didn’t go to Great Eastern Village often, so he hadn’t heard much about Shao Qiyun. However, since Xiao Wu had suffered such a blow, and considering that Mu Jingzhe had not explicitly spoken of it before, one could guess that Shao Qiyun wasn’t a good mother.

In an instant, Ji Buwang had deduced many things, and he was basically right. Since they were already suspecting that he was Xiao Wu’s biological father, there was no need for Mu Jingzhe to hide it. She nodded. “Yes.”

Ji Buwang’s hand subconsciously tapped on the table as he recalled the news Uncle Fan had accidentally revealed to him.

Uncle Fan had said that his grandfather had specifically come to watch when he’d heard that he was going on stage to perform, but Ji Buwang had no idea.

Initially, this wasn’t a big deal. Judging by Grandpa’s habits, even if he secretly went to take a look at him at first, he would definitely show up and have a meal with him before going back.

However, his grandfather had gone back, which was unusual. Later on, after Uncle Fan had accidentally let it slip that Grandpa had seemed to be a little vexed, he hadn’t spoken again. Then, he had asked him to go back and said that he had something important to tell him in person.

Ji Buwang hadn’t taken these matters to heart previously, but when these abnormalities were combined, coupled with the current situation, Ji Buwang couldn’t help but overthink.

Had Grandpa been looking for him because of this?

If Grandpa had really gone to look for him because of this matter, based on Grandpa’s personality, he had probably found out something.

At the thought of this, Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe. “Jingzhe, I’ll call Grandpa first.”
