Shen Qingli suppressed her inner turmoil and tried her best to make her voice sound calm:
"Xiaobao, the nurse just said that you were brought back by an uncle. Didn't I ask you to wait for me here?"
"Why did you run away?"
Shen Jinxi lowered her head like a little adult who had done something wrong, her little hands tugging at the corner of her clothes anxiously: "Mom, I'm sorry, I just wanted to go out to find you, but I got lost."
"Then I met that uncle. He was afraid that you might be worried if you didn't see me, so he sent me back."
"He's a very nice guy. He told me stories. My uncle said he would tell me more next time."
When Shen Jinxi mentioned Zhou Yanchen, her eyes sparkled with innocence, full of love for him.
Shen Qingli looked at Shen Jinxi's expectant expression, feeling mixed emotions.
She slowly stretched out her hand, gently held Shen Jinxi in her arms, and asked softly, "Xiaobao, do you like that uncle very much?"
Shen Jinxi nodded vigorously in her arms: "Yes, I like it very much. Mom, this is the second time I have met my uncle, and he still remembers me."
"When he told me stories, I felt like he was just like my dad."
As soon as the words came out, Shen Jinxi seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added:
"Mom, I don't just say I miss my dad. I think if my uncle has a child, he will definitely be a very good father."
When Shen Qingli heard this, a trace of bitterness appeared in his eyes, and his throat seemed to be choked by something.
She said silently in her heart: Xiaobao, I'm sorry, mommy can't tell you, in fact, he is your father.
Shen Qingli's heart was torn. Maybe Zhou Yanchen was not a good husband, but maybe he would be a good father.
But because of what happened in the past, she didn't dare to take the risk of this unknown possibility.
Shen Jinxi was sensitive and felt that her mother was in a low mood, so she did not tell her mother that she had left the uncle's number.
She thought to herself that after she was discharged from the hospital, she would ask Shen Jinnan to save the number for her. The little girl had her own little thoughts in her heart.
…
Qin 뀑 pushed open the door and was stunned by the scene before him.
The room was in a mess, with all kinds of cosmetics and decorations scattered all over the place. Su Xinyao sat on the sofa in despair, not saying a word.
Qin hurriedly walked up to her and asked cautiously: "Xinyao, have you seen the statement issued by Xinyu Group?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Didn't you say you wanted Zhou Yanchen to get engaged to you? Why now..."
Su Xinyao was very upset. What could she say now that things had come to this?
She said weakly, "Sister, I went to see Zhou Yanchen, and before I could say a few words, he made his conclusion directly."
"If I continue to insist on going, the good impression I have worked so hard to leave in his heart will be gone."
"He also said he would sue the media outlets that initially reported the incident."
Qin's face suddenly turned gloomy: "If Zhou Yanchen really does this, then we..."
Qin knew in her heart that she was not immune to the trending searches on the Internet. She and Su Xinyao were now like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
"Xinyao, we must not let Zhou Yanchen sue them. You know that if we push those people too far, they will report anything and we will both be finished."
"You have finally reached this position, you can't let him do this." Qin said anxiously.
Su Xinyao didn't understand this logic at all. She was very angry, angry that Zhou Yanchen's attitude towards her was becoming increasingly cold.
놆놆It’s not because of that jerk Shen Qingli.
Zhou Yanchen had never told her that they were divorced. She knew about their divorce the first time she accidentally saw the divorce certificate he left in the car.
They've been divorced for five years, but he hasn't even mentioned wanting to marry her.
How could Su Xinyao not feel hatred in her heart? When Shen Qingli came back, she became even more panicked.
At this moment, Qin's cell phone in her bag suddenly rang, and she hurriedly took out the phone to answer it.
As soon as I pressed the answer button, an angry voice came from the receiver: "Qin, I'm afraid you are being too unkind. Now Xinyu Group is going to sue us."
"Now how do we solve this problem?"
"You promised us that there would be more explosive news later, but now you are dragging us down?"
Qin smiled apologetically, apologized to the other party, and promised to solve the matter: "Okay, you wait for my news."
Qin 뀑 came back after answering the phone, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Su Xinyao:
"Xinyao, call Zhou Yanchen now and tell him that your current job depends heavily on the media. If he does this, it will definitely affect your career path."
"After all, you and he have known each other for a while, and he still has some feelings for you."
"If you talk to him nicely, maybe he will let the media go for your sake."
"If he insists on suing them, it will really be the end for both of us."
Seeing that Su Xinyao remained silent, Qin Xiao became anxious and raised her voice unconsciously: "Xinyao, what are you still doing?"
"Go make a call."
Chang You, who was sitting in an office not far away, caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that his boss Zhou Yanchen frequently looked at his mobile phone screen, looking absent-minded.
After hesitating for a while, he cleared his throat and said softly, "Boss, whose call are you waiting for?"
Zhou Yanchen heard this, raised his head slightly, and glanced at Chang You with disdain: "What do you care about me!"
However, in a flash, he seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject, "By the way, go buy some children's picture books later. They should be interesting ones."
Chang You's doubts were instantly ignited. He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and couldn't help asking:
"Boss, why do you want to buy children's picture books? Do you have a child?"
Zhou Yanchen's face suddenly turned gloomy, his brows wrinkled tightly into the shape of the Chinese character "川", and his eyes revealed a hint of warning:
"Chang You, have you been asking for so many whys lately? Just buy what I told you to buy, why are you talking so much nonsense."
However, behind his seemingly angry appearance, he has his own entanglements and expectations in his heart.
He was indeed looking forward to Xiaobao calling him. For some reason, from the first time he saw the little girl, an inexplicable feeling of closeness and love surged in his heart.
He couldn't help wanting to take care of her, as if she was supposed to be his daughter.
But when he thought of his current situation, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes, and a wave of bitterness arose in his heart. He felt that it might be difficult for him to have the identity of "father" in this life.
He shouldn't have let Shen Qingli go.
Chang You curled his lips when he saw this. Although he was still full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. "Okay, I'll go buy it later."
"Where should I put it after I buy it?"
Zhou Yanchen thought for a moment and said, "Put some in my home, company, and places where I often go."
After hearing this, Chang You's doubts grew stronger, like a fog lingering in his heart.
He secretly decided that he must find time to investigate carefully to see if his boss had secretly had a child with another woman.
