Chapter 251 Fu Siyan's Flattery
Sunday evening.
On a midsummer night, the full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the evening breeze is cool.
Yun Gui's traditional Chinese courtyard is perfect for moon gazing and tea tasting.
After dinner, the group chatted and enjoyed tea in the pavilion in the courtyard.
The little star lay in the cradle, sucking on its own little hand.
Shen Qingshu and Qiao Xingjia sat side by side, with Qiao Xingjia holding a video camera that she had just found in the old house that day.
"Ah Shu, look at this picture. You were reading in the library, and the sunlight was shining through the window onto your face. It was a natural lighting panel. I snapped a picture and it turned out to be absolutely gorgeous!"
Shen Qingshu: "...Hmm, are you sure? The focus of this photo is clearly not on me, but on the face of the boy behind me. Xingxing, you were clearly taking a picture of him."
Qiao Xingjia: "...Nonsense! I was clearly filming you!"
Shen Qingshu suppressed a laugh and nodded cooperatively, "Yes, I was mistaken, you took a picture of me."
Qin Yancheng suddenly looked over, glanced at the camera in Qiao Xingjia's hand, and seeing Qiao Xingjia's obviously guilty face, smiled and said, "Xingxing, can I take a look?"
"Who wants to see these! These are my treasured editions, only Ah Shu can see them!" Qiao Xingjia sneered. "You drink your tea!"
Qin Yancheng pursed his lips and sighed softly.
Wen Jingxi looked at him and said, "Dr. Qin's status in the family remains as low as ever."
Qin Yancheng: "..."
A black Maybach slowly drove in from the outside and came to a stop.
The driver's side door opened, and Fu Siyan got out of the car.
Wen Jingxi immediately got up to greet his beloved goddaughter.
Shen Qingshu looked up—
In the darkness, the man's angular face appeared visibly thinner.
He stood beside the car, his narrow, dark eyes fixed on Shen Qingshu's face.
“I bought Xiao Anning a few fairy tale books, and she likes them.” Fu Siyan’s voice was low, perhaps with a hint of ingratiation.
This is a father's love for his daughter.
Shen Qingshu responded lightly, stood up, and walked to the other side of the Maybach.
Wen Jingxi stepped forward first, opened the back door of the car, and took Xiao Anning out.
"Baby, do you miss your godfather?"
"Yes, I have!" Little Anning said in her sweet, childlike voice, "Godfather, have you missed me?"
"Of course our godfather misses our little Anning! He misses her so much he can't eat or sleep!"
"Liar." Xiao Anning snorted coldly, exposing him mercilessly. "You just put the teacup down, don't think I didn't see it!"
Wen Jingxi: "..."
Fu Siyan watched his daughter and Wen Jingxi interact happily, and a slight smile appeared on his thin lips.
The little girl is not easy to fool, which makes her father very gratified.
Qin Yancheng stood up, walked to Fu Siyan, and glanced at Shen Qingshu, who was walking over to Wen Jingxi and reaching out to hug Xiao Anning.
He coughed lightly and looked at Fu Siyan, asking, "It's still early, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea together?"
"Is this your home? Why are you inviting people in for tea?!" Qiao Xingjia stood up, walked over aggressively, and grabbed Qin Yancheng. "Qin Yancheng, choose between your brother and your wife!"
Qin Yancheng: "...Wife, don't be like this. He's still Xiao Anning's father, after all. Let's just be friends and get along peacefully..."
"No way, who wants to be friends with him!" Qiao Xingjia put her hands on her hips and glared at Fu Siyan indignantly. "I feel like my milk is going to come out whenever I see him!"
Qin Yancheng: "..."
Fu Siyan glanced at Qiao Xingjia indifferently, then looked at Qin Yancheng and said, "Let's go."
Qin Yancheng pursed his lips, giving Fu Siyan a look that said, "Brother, I've done my best," as he watched him leave.
Just a few seconds after the Maybach drove out of Yungui, a Bentley drove in.
Shen Qingshu was just about to take her daughter upstairs to take a bath when she saw Jin Que in the car, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Jin Que got out of the car.
In the darkness, the man, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, exuded a refined and elegant air. His face was sharply defined, with gentle features, and his mere presence created a striking and pleasing sight.
Qiao Xingjia's eyes lit up, and she raised her camera and snapped a series of photos.
"So incredibly handsome!" Qiao Xingjia exclaimed, holding the camera. "Who is this? He's so good-looking! Is he your friend, Teacher Wen?"
Wen Jingxi cleared his throat and gave an awkward smile, "Jin Que, that very famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the ancient town."
"So you're Jin Que!" Qiao Xingjia stepped forward, her eyes sparkling. "You truly deserve to be our Xiao Anning's number one choice for stepfather. It's such a waste that you're not in the entertainment industry with those looks... um..."
Qin Yancheng couldn't take it anymore. With a dark expression, he walked to the cradle and pulled the little hand out of his son's mouth.
"Wow--"
Little Star burst into an astonishing cry.
Qin Yancheng succeeded, picked up his son and coaxed him in a serious manner, "Oh, son, don't cry... Wife, the son is hungry, look how hard he's crying!"
"Huh? I just ate it an hour ago, that shouldn't be the case?"
Although Qiao Xingjia enjoys looking at handsome men, her son awakened her maternal instincts.
She strode over, put down the camera, and took her son from Qin Yancheng's hands. "You little troublemaker, your mother is looking at handsome guys. Are you doing this on purpose, hmm?"
Little Star stopped, its wet eyes fixed on its mother.
A few seconds later, she burst into tears again.
"Okay, okay, Mommy was just kidding. Are you hungry? Mommy will take you back to your room right away..."
Qiao Xingjia glared at Qin Yancheng, then turned and went back into the house with her son in her arms.
Qin Yancheng was pleased with his successful scheme.
He looked at Jin Que and beckoned, "Dr. Jin, come over and have some tea!"
Jin Que nodded slightly to Qin Yancheng, his voice gentle: "Excuse me, Dr. Qin, I would like to have a private talk with Ashu."
As he spoke, Jin Que walked toward Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu looked at him with a cold expression.
Little Anning, on the other hand, was overjoyed to see Jin Que and stretched out her arms to him, "Uncle Jin~!"
Jin Que smiled at her and then reached out to take Xiao Anning from her.
Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter's happy face and frowned slightly.
Although Jin Que concealed his true identity from her and his interactions with her over the past four years may have been deliberate, he did indeed help cure her daughter.
If it weren't for Jin Que all these years, Xiao Anning wouldn't have been raised so well.
Based on that alone, she couldn't keep people out of the door.
But she also knew in her heart that Jin Que had come to see her so late probably to talk about the Fu Group's shareholders' meeting.
Clearly, Jin Que hasn't given up on persuading her.
"Xiao Anning, this is a new hawthorn candy made by Uncle Jin. Take it and remember to share it with Xiao Nian'an next time you see him."
"Wow! Thank you, Uncle Jin!" Xiao Anning took the bag of handmade hawthorn candy and smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons.
