Chapter 143 My mom said I can't talk to strangers!
Xiao Anning dropped her paintbrush, and she crouched down to pick it up.
Suddenly, a pair of gleaming black leather shoes appeared in front of her.
Xiao Anning paused for a moment, then looked up curiously.
Fu Siyan squatted down, staring at the face in front of him that bore a striking resemblance to Shen Qingshu, his dark eyes churning with intense emotions.
Xiao Anning's big, dark eyes widened.
This uncle is so handsome!
And his handsomeness is completely different from Uncle Jin Que's!
But he seems a little strange?
Xiao Anning picked up her paintbrush and took a few steps back very cautiously.
Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed, his thin lips parted, and after a long while he finally asked, "What's your name?"
"Mom said we can't talk to strangers!" Little Anning's voice was clear and bright, and she deliberately raised her voice, "Even if it's a very handsome stranger!"
Xiao Anning's words immediately caught the teacher's attention.
A young female teacher walked over and was taken aback when she saw Fu Siyan.
He's kind of handsome and has a great presence; it's hard not to be attracted to him.
But despite being tempted, the female teacher did not forget her professional ethics!
"Sir, are you looking for someone?" the young female teacher asked Fu Siyan politely.
Fu Siyan stood up and gave the female teacher a slight nod. "Sorry to disturb your class."
"It's alright, the children have almost finished drawing. Are you one of the children's parents?"
Fu Siyan's gaze swept towards Xiao Anning.
Xiao Anning stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Fu Siyan, her eyes full of wariness towards him.
Despite his young age, he has a high level of safety awareness.
Fu Siyan was amused by her precocious demeanor and smiled faintly.
Then, he looked at the female teacher with a cold expression and a low voice, "I just came to see how cute the child is. Sorry."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The female teacher was worried that the other party was a human trafficker who looked like a decent person, so she kept staring at Fu Siyan until she saw him get into the Mercedes-Benz parked by the roadside.
I glanced at the license plate... consecutive numbers!
Well, human traffickers probably can't afford to rent such expensive cars.
"Xiao Anning." The female teacher looked down and waved to Xiao Anning.
Xiao Anning walked over and said, "Teacher Moon."
Teacher Yue patted her head and asked softly, "Do you know that person?"
"I don't know him." Xiao Anning shook her head. "But he kept staring at me with such a strange expression. Even though he's very handsome, my mom says I shouldn't talk to strangers, and I've always remembered that!"
"Little Anning is so great!"
…
Fu Siyan returned to the car and watched Xiao Anning interact with the teacher.
Little Anning is exquisitely cute, with chubby little faces that are fair and rosy.
The person who took care of her must have been very dedicated, raising and educating the child very well.
The teachers led the children toward the kindergarten.
Fu Siyan ordered, "Follow them."
Shao Qing started the car and drove very slowly, quietly following behind that small group.
The small park is just across the street from the kindergarten, less than 200 meters away.
It was just after school let out in the afternoon.
The parents were all waiting at the kindergarten gate.
Shao Qing parked her car on the side of the road a little distance from the kindergarten gate.
Fu Siyan saw Wen Jingxi through the car window.
Among the many parents, Wen Jingxi's height of nearly 1.9 meters stood out.
Soon, Xiao Anning, carrying her little schoolbag, skipped and hopped towards Wen Jingxi—
"Godfather!"
Wen Jingxi bent down and picked up Xiao Anning in his arms, stroking her sweaty forehead with his large hand. "Where did our little princess go? She's all sweaty."
"We went to the park to sketch!" Xiao Anning shared eagerly. "I drew a picture. Mom can sell her paintings for money. I was born of Mom, and my paintings are very good too. Godfather, would you like to buy my painting?"
"Buy them!" Wen Jingxi laughed, "Your godfather will buy all your paintings!"
"Wow, I'm so touched! But Godfather, you'll have to wait a little longer!"
Wen Jingxi frowned. "Why?"
“Grandpa and Grandma definitely want to buy it too.” Xiao Anning raised an eyebrow. “I’ll sell it to whoever pays the most out of you three!”
Wen Jingxi: "..."
Good, good, good. You've grown hundreds of schemes in just a few months!
Looking at the little girl's clever and mischievous appearance, Wen Jingxi couldn't help but feel a little envious.
She must have inherited her cunning from her biological father!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. How could such a lovely daughter be Fu Siyan's biological child!
But from another perspective, it's good for girls to be clever and shrewd, so they won't grow up to be like their mothers, too naive and easily deceived by scumbags!
Wen Jingxi carried Xiao Anning and walked towards where the car was parked.
They didn't notice the Mercedes parked on the side of the road not far away.
Watching Wen Jingxi's car drive away, Shao Qing, inside the car, asked Fu Siyan, "Young Master Fu, should we follow?"
"No need." Fu Siyan closed his eyes and pinched his brow with his fingertips. "Let's take care of business first."
"yes."
-
Shen Qingshu settled the work matter in Yuncheng in just one day.
The founder of Lequ shares many of the same views as Shen Qingshu.
The initial direction has been determined, and the project planning and production details will be refined gradually.
When Shen Qingshu arrived at the airport, looking at the flight information, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when she thought about how tomorrow was Xiao Anning's birthday.
It's been four years.
She never went back to Beicheng to see her son.
He's so young, won't he be scared to be alone in the Fu family cemetery?
She's been hiding for four years; that's enough.
Shen Qingshu booked a flight to Beicheng the next day.
After a four-hour flight, the plane landed at Beicheng International Airport.
After leaving the airport, Shen Qingshu took a taxi directly to the Fu Family Cemetery.
On the way, she made a phone call to Qin Yancheng.
Qin Yancheng answered quickly, "Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"
"I'm going back to Beicheng."
"What?" Qin Yancheng exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing back here?"
"I want to go see my son."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yancheng paused, then said, "You can't enter the Fu family cemetery."
"That's why I'm calling you."
“Sigh,” Qin Yancheng sighed, “For the sake of Xingxing, I, this treacherous man who betrayed his brothers, will be a villain to the very end.”
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips.
Qin Yancheng: "I'm coming to find you now. Please wait a moment when you arrive."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu turned to look out the window, her eyes dim.
…
About half an hour later, the taxi stopped outside the Fu Family Cemetery.
Shen Qingshu paid the fare and got out of the car.
The cell phone in the bag rang.
It was Wen Jingxi calling.
“Those photos and videos did affect Zhou Yuchu, but they were taken down in less than half a day,” Wen Jingxi sighed. “Just like four years ago, it must be Fu Siyan’s doing again.”
“I expected it.” Shen Qingshu was very calm. She had anticipated this result. “This is just an appetizer. Zhou Yuchu now not only has Fu Siyan protecting her, but also Feng Yuncheng. She cares a lot about her career, so we can only start with her career.”
"What's the meaning?"
"Let her climb a little higher." Shen Qingshu's voice was icy.
After hanging up the phone, I heard the sound of a car behind me.
Shen Qingshu turned around and saw Qin Yancheng getting out of the car.
Four years had passed, and Qin Yancheng hadn't changed much, except that he looked a bit more mature than before.
Qin Yancheng walked over and glanced at Shen Qingshu. "You look much better after four years."
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly, "I am who I am today thanks to Dr. Qin's help back then."
Qin Yancheng raised an eyebrow. "You're too kind. I'm only helping you because of Xingxing."
Shen Qingshu smiled, pursing her lips.
“Let’s go. I’ll talk to the tomb keeper. However, I can’t guarantee that the tomb keeper will inform Fu Siyan about our presence here.”
"It doesn't matter," Shen Qingshu said calmly. "Since I dared to return to Beicheng, I was mentally prepared to run into Fu Siyan sooner or later."
Qin Yancheng looked at her with some surprise, "You mean, you plan to be with Fu Siyan..."
“The first step will definitely be to file for divorce.” Shen Qingshu turned to look at Qin Yancheng. “You know, I have a benefactor to help me now, and Fu Siyan may not be able to withstand it.”
Qin Yancheng pursed his lips and asked after a long while, "I've had a question for the past four years. Now that you've taken the initiative to contact me, I can't bear it anymore. Who exactly is the big shot who helped you?"
Shen Qingshu smiled but did not answer.
Qin Yancheng smiled helplessly, "Fine, it's only right that you're wary of me because of my relationship with Fu Siyan."
“It’s not that I’m keeping an eye on you.” Shen Qingshu paused, turned to look at Qin Yancheng, and said seriously, “It’s just that there are some things you’d be better off not knowing. Being caught between Xingxing and Fu Siyan is already difficult enough for you, isn’t it?”
Qin Yancheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're right."
The two arrived at the brother's tombstone.
Shen Qingshu squatted down, looked at the tombstone which was smaller than the others, raised her hand to touch it, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"This is Grandpa Fu next to me."
Qin Yancheng stood aside, looking at Shen Qingshu who was silently shedding tears with her head down, and said softly, "Grandpa Fu is a very kind old man. He used to love Siyan very much. When he is with Grandpa Fu, he will not feel lonely or afraid."
Shen Qingshu touched the tombstone, but there wasn't even a single photo on it.
"I...I don't even know what he looks like..."
“Every time I see Xiao Anning’s happy smile, I can’t help but wonder, if he had survived, would he look a lot like Xiao Anning, and would his personality be as lively and adorable as Xiao Anning’s…”
"But there are no 'what ifs.' I'm so useless. I decided to keep him, but I failed to protect him. I don't know if he'll blame me... blame me for only protecting my sister and not him..."
Shen Qingshu's voice choked with sobs, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string.
“For the past four years, I’ve had this dream all the time. I dream that he’s crying and calling for his mother, but I can never find him. His cries are hidden in the mist. No matter how I look… no matter how I look, I just can’t find him…”
Qin Yancheng felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.
He now has a son, and he understands Shen Qingshu's feelings.
Her brother's death became an unhealable wound in Shen Qingshu's heart.
Such wounds will keep getting inflamed and healing, healing and then getting inflamed again, never fully healing, but they won't kill you either.
It is regret, it is guilt, it is an unbearable feeling that no amount of words can express, and it will accompany her for the rest of her life.
The most pitiful mothers in the world are those who have lost their children; their hearts are sick with the passing of their children, and there is no cure.
Qin Yancheng stayed with Shen Qingshu at the cemetery for a full hour and a half.
Finally, as darkness fell, Qin Yancheng bent down and helped her up.
"It's getting late, we should go."
Shen Qingshu raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.
"Let's go." She turned and walked forward.
This was her first time visiting her son; she came in a hurry and brought nothing with her.
She thought that when she had another chance to come back, she would buy some toys and snacks.
Qin Yancheng followed behind Shen Qingshu.
Both remained silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
As we left the cemetery, the streetlights along the road came on.
A black Maybach was parked under the streetlights.
The car door opened, and Fu Siyan's tall figure stepped out of the car.
Take light, easy steps.
Her beautiful eyes were icy as she watched the man walking towards her.
