"That's what your grandfather said."

"Besides, I don't need a father. It's okay if you don't want to adopt me. The old man has already been very good to me."

The little guy's eyes darted around intelligently.

"But you can adopt me if you really want to, but I don't need you. I need to find a mother for me right now."

"A gentle, beautiful mother who is good to children."

Jiang Jiang was giving blatant hints.

Gu Yanjun pretended not to see it.

Jiang Jiang thought he hadn't understood, so she continued to elaborate on her requirements.

"She's the kind of girl with long hair, big eyes, long eyelashes, red lips, and wearing a light purple dress!"

Gu Yanjun: ? ? ?

If he remembered correctly, the person Jiang Jiang described was exactly the girl who had just left the cafeteria and had been staring at Jiang Jiang with a lost expression.

Luckily, this kid didn't know the other person's name, otherwise he probably would have started yelling by now.

Gu Yanjun pretended not to understand.

"Who are you talking about? I've never seen them before. Did you make them up?"

Jiang Jiang's eyebrows were almost knotted with anger, and she put her hands on her hips.

"How could I not have heard of her? She's that beautiful auntie who just left! We even ran into her on the road!"

"Gu Yanjun, don't pretend you don't know!"

Gu Yanjun stuffed the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth and calmly shook his head.

"I have a bad memory, I forgot."

"Gu Yanjun, you're lying! Grandpa is so old, but he still remembers things. He even remembers what I ate for the last meal I saw him last time. How could you forget!"

Gu Yanjun ignored him and continued eating his meal.

This kid has so many wonderful ideas in his head all day long, he's long since gotten used to it.

Let him say what he wants.

When Jiangjiang saw that he was pretending to be deaf and ignoring her again, she got so angry that her little face puffed up like a bun.

After a long stalemate, the little guy finally gave in and sighed dramatically.

"Never mind, the old man said that if we are destined to meet again, we will definitely meet again."

"Besides, men need to be independent. I'm already four years old, and I can live well on my own. When I grow up, I'll bring my aunt home and give her a big house to live in."

"I won't let you stay here, you brat, I'll make you angry! Hehehe!"

Gu Yanjun: ...

-

Not long after Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu returned home, the guard knocked on their door.

When Xie Mingzhu saw who was standing at the door, her heart tightened. She thought it was the police calling to see her again.

She frowned slightly, looking over nervously.

"What's the Public Security Bureau up to this time?"

The guard was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand to explain.

"No, I'm here to see Comrade Shu Ying."

"Could you please call her for me right away? It's urgent."

Xie Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and turned to go back into the house to call Shu Ying.

Shu Ying rushed over, and the guard, upon seeing her, immediately explained the situation before she even got close.

"Comrade Shuying, Aunt Zheng, who came last time, is looking for you. She says she has urgent news."

"It looks like good news. I need you to go there right away."
