"Cao Feng, the little girl I picked up, is she your daughter?"

Bai Shiqing seemed to have suddenly understood everything on the way here: "You left the child so close to our workplace, do you still want to see how your daughter is doing later? No wonder you were so excited when everyone said that you wanted me to take her home and raise her!"

Bai Shiqing's words left everyone even more dumbfounded.

There was actually another layer to this. However, after thinking about Cao Feng's abnormal behavior yesterday, following Bai Shiqing's words, it seemed to make sense.

Cao Feng was usually quiet at work, so why did he suddenly stand up for himself yesterday and even dare to argue with Bai Shiqing, who had a fiery temper?

So they're trying to find a wealthy family for their own daughter there?

They have some good intentions; they even want to get close to the Yang family.

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Upon hearing Bai Shiqing's words, Cao Feng's face turned bright red, and he roared loudly.

"Fine, I'm making baseless accusations. Then do you dare let us go to your house to see your daughter? The hospital has a written record that your wife gave birth to a daughter there, and the family signed your name. How could such a child just disappear into thin air?"

Bai Shiqing pointed to the papers scattered on the ground, and Cao Feng had no words to refute her.

"You're so immoral! You're absolutely immoral!"

"You're even more hateful than those who abandon children! You actually want to harm all of us. What, if Bai Shiqing really adopts your daughter and raises her, are you going to come back and claim her as your own?"

"My goodness, you really dare to dream!"

"You deserve to be childless, you heartless bastard."

"Let's go, let's go to the leaders and demand an explanation!"

Everyone was indignant. Their work was already tiring enough, and they were doing thankless work in the eyes of the public. It was already annoying enough, but they didn't expect that someone inside would betray them.

When he arrived in front of the leaders, Cao Feng had a different story: "My daughter was born weak and couldn't breastfeed. She passed away after only two days. We didn't make a fuss about her death and just buried her somewhere. How could I, as a parent, kill my child, let alone leave her in the snow?"

"Where is the child buried?" Bai Shiqing asked.

"It's buried on the mountain two miles outside our house."

"Okay, then remember your story. Boss, I suggest you go to Cao Feng's house and ask his wife to see if what she says matches what Cao Feng said! I don't believe that their daughter could be buried in two different places."

After Bai Shiqing finished speaking, Cao Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

He never expected anyone to trace this back to him. So many people do this that nobody pays any attention, so he and his wife didn't make any preparations to deal with it.

If we were to actually compare their testimonies, they definitely wouldn't match!

Maybe his wife will be so frightened by these people that she'll blurt out everything.

Hearing this, everything became clear. The leader then slowly spoke: "Cao Feng, you've been a senior member of our unit for a while now. I'll give you a chance because of your uncle. If you tell the truth, take the child home and raise him properly, I'll pretend nothing happened. But if you don't tell the truth and we find out, then I'll have no choice but to follow the rules and procedures and take you to court."

"Boss, I..."

"Cao Feng, think it over before you speak."

Having reached a dead end, Cao Feng knew there was no turning back: "I misunderstood... I was confused for a moment! I hope the organization will give me another chance. I will definitely reform myself, treat my daughter well, and never cause trouble for the organization again!"

"Smack!"

Before the leader could even speak, Bai Shiqing slapped Cao Feng across the face: "You beast!"

After slapping Cao Feng, she left the leader's office.

The leader, not daring to offend Bai Shiqing, asked with a headache, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go get his daughter!"

Bai Shiqing didn't even turn her head; she was furious.

It's true what they say, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Bai Shiqing was so angry that she rode her bike home in one breath. Today, Li Shuxian had taken the day off to take care of the child at home, and was walking back and forth in the living room holding the crying baby.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Seeing that Bai Shiqing's eyebrows were almost flying off in anger, Li Shuxian tossed the doll in his hand while showing concern for Bai Shiqing.

Bai Shiqing said, "We've found the child's father!"

"Found it? So fast, only half a day?"

"Found him! He's been so close yet so far, it's my colleague from work! He was even asking me to raise his child yesterday!"

Li Shuxian thought about it and said, "That makes sense. There aren't many people living near your workplace. I guess only people from your workplace would leave their children there."

Bai Shiqing plopped down on the sofa, took a sip of water, and suppressed her anger: "I never imagined there would be such a monster around me. What's worse is that we can't do anything to him because of this child. If we really expel him, won't this child's fate be in his hands from now on?"

Bai Shiqing became increasingly angry as she spoke: "I'm so angry, so angry!"

"Alright, Shiqing," Li Shuxian put the child down and patted Bai Shiqing's back to calm her down. "You've done your best in this matter, and that's all you can do. My father said that everyone has their own karma, and we can't control what others do, but evil people will be punished by heaven sooner or later."

Although Li Shuxian's words were only a form of emotional comfort, Bai Shiqing felt much better.

"Come here, let me hug you, I'll have to give you back later."

Bai Shiqing took the baby back, hugged her and patted her: "I have to apply to my supervisor. I will personally follow up with Cao Feng in the future. If his family dares to mistreat my daughter, I'll tear him apart!"

"Yes, yes, you must go in person. My wife is the most righteous, so you'll have to go through all this trouble."

Li Shuxian massaged Bai Shiqing's shoulders, and Bai Shiqing laughed in exasperation at Li Shuxian's flattery: "Don't give me that."

“I’m telling the truth.” Li Shuxian smiled ingratiatingly at Bai Shiqing. “Now that you’re back, there’s no rush to go back. Stay home, warm up, and have lunch before you leave. What would you like to eat? I’ll make it for you right away.”

"I want to eat celery. We have some at home, so let's make whatever we have."

"Mom, I don't want to eat celery, I want to eat tomatoes." Li Yang suddenly appeared at his bedroom door.

Bai Shiqing looked at him and said, "Eat my ass! Look at me, don't I look like a tomato?"

"......"

"Where are you going to buy tomatoes now? What kind should you pick? If you make your mom angry again, I'll whip you with a belt."

Li Shuxian gestured with his chin at Li Yang, telling him to hurry back inside and study.

Li Yang pouted and made a face as he went back to his room. Bai Shiqing was furious and scolded him, "You're making that weird face again!"

Li Shuxian shrugged and smiled in the kitchen.

This family is always in chaos, yet they seem quite lively.

He turned on the stove, the flickering flames scorching the bottom of the pot. After pouring in the oil, he added chopped celery, which immediately burst into steam.

The aroma of fried vegetables filled the entire room, and Bai Shiqing felt much warmer inside.

She held the tiny baby in her arms and turned to look at the window behind the sofa, where snowflakes were falling softly.
