The night slipped away quietly.
Inside Su Meng's villa in Yunding Villa Community, everyone spent a restless night, each burdened by their own thoughts.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ning got up as usual and headed into the kitchen.
Before long, he had prepared a hearty and nutritious breakfast.
Feeling sorry for everyone, he chose not to wake them up early and instead let them sleep until they naturally woke.
One by one, the family got up and gathered for breakfast.
Perhaps because none of them had slept well the previous night, Su Yunlong, Liu Mengyan, Su Meng, and even Mengmeng—who usually woke up early—got up later than usual.
Just as everyone had finished breakfast and some were chatting in the living room, Jiang Ning's phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Old Master Tang calling.
"Good morning, Master Jiang!"
Tang Xiachuan's cheerful voice came through the phone.
"Good morning, Old Master Tang," Jiang Ning replied.
Tang Xiachuan immediately asked:
"Well? Finished breakfast yet? Are you ready? When shall we set off?"
Jiang Ning answered:
"Yes, breakfast is done. There's not much for me to prepare."
"Good! Then let's leave now. My private jet is already waiting at Cangnan Airport."
"No problem."
After hanging up, Jiang Ning turned toward Su Yunlong, Liu Mengyan, Su Meng, and Mengmeng.
"Dad, Mom, Mengmeng, I should get going now."
Su Yunlong nodded seriously.
"Go ahead, Jiang Ning, but be careful. If you're not completely certain about the condition of Elder Tang's teacher, don't make any rash judgments, and definitely don't treat him casually."
"I understand, Dad. I'll be careful."
Then Jiang Ning crouched down in front of Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, Daddy needs to go on a business trip to take care of something.
"It might take a day or two, but Daddy will come back very soon to be with you again.
"While I'm gone, be a good girl and listen to Grandma, okay?"
Ever since discovering yesterday that Mengmeng was his biological daughter, Jiang Ning's heart had been filled with guilt toward her.
All he wanted now was for her to be happy every day.
He no longer reminded her to study like before.
As for educating her, he wanted to do it personally.
Whether Mengmeng wanted to draw, practice math, or simply play all day, he would indulge her for now.
As long as she was happy.
"Okay, Daddy. Don't worry. Mengmeng will be very, very good."
Mengmeng nodded obediently.
After witnessing all the emotional ups and downs of the adults over the past two days, the little three-year-old seemed to sense that something important had happened.
She had become especially cautious and well-behaved.
Although she didn't understand what was going on, she could clearly feel that her father looked at her with even more love than before.
"Mengmeng is the best."
Jiang Ning affectionately rubbed her little head.
"Daddy will be back very soon."
Then he stood up and looked at Su Meng.
"Wife, I'm leaving. I'll miss you."
With that, he turned and walked out of the villa.
Watching his departing figure, Su Meng wanted to say goodbye, but the words stuck in her throat and never came out.
Outside the villa, Tang Xiachuan was already waiting.
The old butler, Zhang Haichen, was driving.
"Come on, Master Jiang. Get in."
Tang Xiachuan personally opened the car door and gestured for him to enter.
"Old Master Tang, you're too polite. Please, you first."
Jiang Ning knew he was the younger generation and had received plenty of help from Tang Xiachuan before.
He felt uncomfortable accepting such treatment.
Seeing Jiang Ning's courtesy, Tang Xiachuan smiled.
"Alright, alright. Then I'll go first."
After both men got into the car, it slowly left the villa district and headed toward Cangnan Airport.
Tang Xiachuan's private aircraft was a Dassault Falcon 8X.
Once aboard, Tang Xiachuan noticed that Jiang Ning had been unusually quiet.
"Master Jiang, did something happen at home yesterday?
"If there's any difficulty, tell me. If I can help, I definitely will."
Jiang Ning replied quickly:
"It's nothing major, just a small issue. I can handle it myself."
Tang Xiachuan assumed Jiang Ning simply didn't want to owe him a favor.
"Don't worry about owing me anything. I sincerely want to help.
"If you need something, just ask."
Jiang Ning smiled gratefully.
"Thank you, Old Master Tang.
"I did run into a bit of trouble, but it's not something money or connections can solve.
"Don't worry. If I really need help, I won't hesitate to ask."
After all, if Mengmeng's biological mother ever appeared, that would be a family and emotional issue—not something Tang Xiachuan's wealth or influence could resolve.
Tang Xiachuan glanced at him.
"Fine. But remember, don't be too polite with me in the future.
"Your father-in-law and I are like brothers, and we also have a business partnership. There's no need to be strangers."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Understood."
The conversation ended there.
Two hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Kyoto Airport.
Waiting to receive them were Tang Xiachuan's eldest son, Tang Hecai, and his secretary, Ke Hanliang.
As soon as they saw Tang Xiachuan and Jiang Ning emerge, the two hurried forward.
Tang Hecai smiled.
"Dad, Master Jiang, you're finally here. I've been waiting for an hour already. Come on, the car's ready."
Tang Xiachuan immediately frowned.
"Hmph. You waited one hour and you're already complaining?
"What, you're impatient after such a short time?"
Realizing his mistake, Tang Hecai quickly laughed awkwardly.
"Dad, my fault. I misspoke.
"Waiting for you and Master Jiang for a few more hours would still be perfectly reasonable."
Jiang Ning immediately stepped in to ease the situation.
"Old Master Tang, please don't blame President Tang.
"And sorry to keep you waiting, President Tang."
Tang Hecai waved his hand.
"Master Jiang, my father is right. I didn't phrase it properly.
"We're family, but if I said that to someone else, it could easily be misunderstood."
Seeing that his son had corrected himself quickly, Tang Xiachuan let the matter drop.
"Good. As long as you understand. Let's go."
Tang Hecai immediately opened the rear door for Jiang Ning, while Ke Hanliang opened the door on the other side for Tang Xiachuan.
The group then left Kyoto Airport together.
Tang Xiachuan and Jiang Ning rode in a stretched Lincoln limousine.
An hour later, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of a residential community.
