In the orphanage, Qiao Jiabao didn't know that Cen Juan was looking for him all over the world.
Early in the morning, Qiao Jiabao was the first to get up. He folded his own small bedding neatly, almost like tofu blocks. He learned this from Aunt Zhao Xiaocui.
He carried the small washbasin and went into the bathroom, where he washed his face and brushed his teeth.
When Qiao Jiabao came out, the other children had just gotten up, and Zhang Ruixue had to take care of them washing up one by one.
"Auntie Ruixue, let me help you." Qiao Jiabao ran over sensibly and helped Zhang Ruixue put clothes on the younger child.
When Zhang Ruixue saw Qiao Jiabao, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She felt a lot more relaxed and also felt very pleased.
"Jiabao, I'm glad you're here." Zhang Ruixue was so tired early in the morning that she couldn't even straighten her waist. She didn't sleep well last night.
However, with Qiao Jiabao's help, she felt much more relaxed. This was not the first time Qiao Jiabao had done this kind of work. Since he returned to the orphanage, he had changed dramatically.
In just a few days, Qiao Jiabao mastered all the work in the orphanage and was able to take care of children younger than himself with ease.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of them." Qiao Jiabao said, but he didn't even raise his eyes. He was dressing a child quickly and carefully.
After washing up, it was time for breakfast and Qiao Jiabao helped to get the food.
In these few short days, his changes were obvious to all, so all the children accepted him, and accepted him sincerely.
"Jiabao, stop busying yourself and come and have dinner." Zhao Xiaocui couldn't bear to see Qiao Jiabao busying around like a little parent, so she took the bowl of rice and prepared to feed him herself.
Qiao Jiabao was busy holding a spoon. At this time, a little girl's bib fell off. Qiao Jiabao hurried over to put it on her and rubbed the little girl's head in a friendly manner.
"Thank you, brother." The little girl looked at Qiao Jiabao in a baby voice. Her kind eyes reminded Qiao Jiabao of Xiao Yu.
Qiao Jiabao always remembered the last time Xiaoyu helped him, but unfortunately he was ignorant at that time and made Xiaoyu cry. During this period, he felt very regretful every time he thought of this incident. He always hoped to see Xiaoyu again and apologize to her.
After dinner, Qiao Jiabao was studying with everyone in the classroom, but he saw Zhao Xiaocui passing by in the corridor. Qiao Jiabao hurriedly chased after her and stopped her.
"Auntie Xiao Cui!" Qiao Jiabao called out in a clear voice.
Zhao Xiaocui stopped and looked at him with eyes full of pity, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xiaocui directly held Qiao Jiabao in her arms with very intimate actions. This close relationship was established in just a few days. The emotions between people are so magical.
Some people cannot become close even after being together for twenty years.
"Aunt Xiao Cui, I want to ask, when will Xiao Yu be able to come?" Qiao Jiabao has been thinking about Xiao Yu for a while and can hardly sleep.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaocui rubbed Qiao Jiabao's head lovingly.
"So you're asking about this? Are you missing Xiaoyu?" Zhao Xiaocui looked at him with a wicked smile. The last time Xiaoyu celebrated her birthday, it happened to be the day Qiao Jiabao came back. At that time, Zhao Xiaocui saw Qiao Jiabao staring at Xiaoyu.
Qiao Jiabao's little face suddenly turned red. He lowered his head in confusion, deliberately avoiding looking at Zhao Xiaocui.
"Last time, Xiaoyu helped me, but I never had the chance to say thank you to her." Qiao Jiabao murmured softly, wondering in his heart when he became so timid?
Zhao Xiaocui smiled mysteriously, "You will be able to see her today."
"Really?!" Qiao Jiabao suddenly became alert and stared at Zhao Xiaocui with his dark eyes wide open.
Zhao Xiaocui nodded affirmatively, then took out a hairpin worn by a little girl from her pocket and handed it to Qiao Jiabao. Qiao Jiabao took the hairpin, but looked at Zhao Xiaocui in confusion, obviously not understanding what it meant.
"During the last birthday party, Xiaoyu lost her hairpin here while playing. I originally wanted to return it to her when she came next time, but since you miss her so much, I will send you to return it to her." Zhao Xiaocui explained.
"It's on behalf of our orphanage to pay it back," she added.
Qiao Jiabao held the small hairpin in his hand and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will return it to her."
In fact, Qiao Jiabao was thinking about how to thank and apologize to Xiaoyu.
Since arriving at the orphanage, Qiao Jiabao has never gone out. This day he went to look for Xiaoyu. It was the first time he stepped out of the orphanage. However, he didn't know that he had entered Cen Juan's surveillance range on the way to Gu's house.
Qiao Jiabao walked carefree on the road, holding the small hairpin tightly in his hand.
But at this moment, Cen Juan's men had already reported to her, "Boss, I found Qiao Jiabao!"
When Cen Juan heard the news, she immediately couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and asked nervously, "Where is it?"
"On the street, looks like he's going to Gu's house." Cen Juan was surprised by the subordinate's answer.
Gu Tingchen? He kidnapped his child?
No, my subordinates just said that Qiao Jiabao was going to the Gu family, but where was he going from?
Cen Juan wanted to get to the bottom of this, so she ordered, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Follow him and find out where he's at. Once we know, I'll come and get him back."
"Yes, I understand!" the subordinate replied after hearing this.
Cen Juan clenched her hands tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Her child is still alive! She finally found Qiao Jiabao!
Cen Juan was so excited that she didn't sit down for a long time. She just paced back and forth in the room, constantly imagining the scene of meeting Qiao Jiabao in her mind. She wondered if he still hated her?
The thought of this made Cen Juan fall into sorrow. What if Jiabao hated her? Would he still accept her?
"Jiabao, it's mom who's sorry for you. I hope you don't blame mom." Cen Juan said to herself sadly.
But soon, she fell into self-consolation. After all, Qiao Jiabao was her son. Even if there was any hatred, it would be resolved slowly. She just didn't believe that Qiao Jiabao would not recognize her as his mother?
Thinking of this, Cen Juan felt much more relaxed.
"Gu Tingchen, if I find out that you are the one who wants to harm my child, I will never let you go."
Cen Juan clenched her fists tightly. Now, she blamed all the sins on Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran.
