Chapter 264 What if he's the wicked daddy who abandoned us?
Xingxing's eyes flickered, and she sat up, saying knowingly, "Is it because of the uncle we met today?"
As he spoke, he turned on the bedside nightlight.
The dim light shone on the faces of the three little ones. Yueyue looked bewildered, while Xingxing and Yangyang seemed preoccupied.
Yangyang, in particular, pursed his lips, looking mature beyond his years.
Yueyue was still clueless, blinking innocently twice: "Is it that uncle I met at the airport today? What's wrong with him?"
Xingxing looked at her, her eyes softening: "Yueyue, do you remember what Mommy said when we asked her about Daddy?"
Upon hearing this, Yueyue pouted and her tone became dejected: "Of course I remember. Mommy said that Daddy is gone, and that the grass on Daddy's head is eight meters tall. I asked Aunt Wenwen, and she said it's because Daddy has been buried in the soil for a long time and has become fertilizer, so grass grows."
Xingxing and Yangyang: "..."
Xingxing leaned over and pinched her little cheek, then asked her earnestly, "Do you really believe our daddy is gone?"
Yueyue's eyes lit up as she realized what was happening. She immediately jumped out of bed, her little face flushed with excitement: "You mean our daddy isn't dead!"
"If that's the case, why did Mommy lie to us?"
Xingxing tugged at Yangyang's sleeve, gesturing for him to come closer, then looked at his face and asked Yueyue, "Didn't you think Yangyang looks a lot like the uncle we met at the airport today? It's very possible that he is our daddy."
Yueyue's eyes widened even more as she looked at Yangyang, her little brows furrowing in confusion. "But even Big Brother himself doesn't think he looks like him. Mommy also said that there are many people in this world who look alike. If he is our daddy, why doesn't Mommy recognize him?"
The little girl rested her chin on her hand in distress, feeling like her brain couldn't keep up.
Yangyang had been silent the whole time, but then suddenly said, "Is it possible that Mommy is pretending not to know him?"
In fact, he had already noticed that Su Youling was acting strangely at the airport earlier today.
Looking back now, Su Youling's various unusual reactions were actually quite obvious.
Yangyang analyzed with a serious expression: "As soon as that uncle appeared, Mommy picked me up and left. Although she told me that her stomach was upset and she suddenly needed to go to the toilet, why did she have to take me with her?"
Xingxing and he exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Because you look a lot like that uncle."
Yangyang's eyes darkened slightly as he continued, "And after we came back, Yueyue mentioned that the uncle looked like me, and I noticed that Mommy's expression was strange."
Yueyue clapped her hands, her big eyes shining brightly, her face beaming with undisguised joy: "So that handsome uncle really is our daddy? He bought Yueyue lots of ice cream!"
Xingxing and Yangyang, however, were not as happy as she was.
Xingxing patted her head, somewhat helplessly: "This is just our guess, and besides..."
He glanced at Yangyang, who understood immediately. Her expression turned cold as she finished speaking: "If he really is our daddy, he already has a wife and children."
Yueyue's face
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Her smile faded, and thinking about the unpleasant incident with Lele at the airport earlier that day, her little face instantly turned aggrieved: "I hate Lele and her mother, so has Daddy abandoned us?"
She became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Xingxing got out of bed with a pained expression, went over to hug her, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Yueyue, it's not that he doesn't want us, it's that we don't want him, do you understand?"
Yueyue wasn't really comforted. She nestled listlessly in his arms and nodded. "I used to really like that handsome uncle, but if he's the bad daddy who abandoned us, then Yueyue doesn't want him anymore."
Yangyang also felt sorry for her younger sister and told her to think positively, "These are just our guesses. We need to find evidence to determine if he is really our daddy. If he really is a bad guy, we can't let him meet with Mommy in the future, otherwise it will make Mommy sad."
Yueyue nodded vigorously: "I don't want Mommy to be unhappy."
...
The next day, Su Youling couldn't wake the three little ones no matter what she did, unaware that the three children had held a little meeting in the middle of the night.
She assumed the children were just too tired and were in a hurry to go out and meet the investors. Before leaving, she told Wenxi to take them to find a kindergarten after they woke up.
While still in the car, Su Youling received a message that the investors already had appointments and couldn't make it to see her right now.
Su Youling made a point of arriving early, but unexpectedly someone beat her to it. Resentfully, she probed for information and learned that the other party was actually Karina, the person in charge of Yitao. She felt even more uncomfortable.
She had no intention of giving up and continued on her way to the clubhouse where the investors were located.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the club, Karina, who had been there for a while, was chatting animatedly with the investors.
"Mr. Ding, you have already reviewed our Yitao proposal, and I believe you have a certain understanding of Yitao..." Karina spoke tactfully, giving a general overview of Yitao's advantages, interspersed with a few compliments to the investors, but without appearing overly ingratiating.
"Mr. Ding, our Yitao has been preparing for this bidding meeting for a long time. Even our General Manager Li came all the way from City A to oversee it. If you are satisfied with my proposal today, then our General Manager Li can discuss the next steps of cooperation with you."
Mr. Ding, whom Karina mentioned, leaned back on the sofa with a carefree attitude. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "I haven't had any dealings with Miss Karina before, but I've heard a lot of people praise your abilities. Today, upon meeting you, Miss Karina has certainly not disappointed me."
“Yi Tao’s technical strength is beyond doubt, not to mention that it has the backing of a leading enterprise like Li’s. Master Ai’s reputation in the ceramics world is well-known. I am naturally happy to discuss cooperation with a company with such a solid foundation as yours.”
After hearing these words, which clearly carried a sense of affirmation, Karina's smile deepened, and she became even more confident.
Her promise to withdraw from the bidding project yesterday was merely a stopgap measure. Her plan to meet with Mr. Ding today was premeditated, all for the purpose of successfully securing this investor and gaining Li Tingxi's recognition of her abilities. Therefore, she was determined to succeed today.
Judging from Mr. Ding's attitude now, Yitao Culture is basically guaranteed to win this bid.
However, she still needed to sound out Mr. Ding's intentions: "Mr. Ding, you don't seem to have any dates coming up, right? How about we enjoy a dance together?"
