After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiazhou opened WeChat, and Gu Xingyuan sent him two videos.
Shen Jiazhou glanced at Wen Shuqiao, then tilted his body slightly toward her before opening the video call.
The first video was only a few seconds long. After clicking on it, Yu Mingxue grabbed Su Sisi's arm and forcefully dragged her away to who-knows-where.
The second video is nearly twenty seconds long. Amidst the noisy chatter, you can clearly hear Yu Mingxue cursing and Su Sisi retorting. The video is chaotic, as if it were secretly filmed. You can also see some bodyguards surrounding the person in the center, who must have been led there by Yu Mingxue.
And in the last second of the video, a very clear slapping sound could be heard.
Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips, looked up and asked, "Yu Mingxue and..."
She had the words on the tip of her tongue but didn't say them. Only now did she realize that she and Shen Jiazhou were sitting a little close together because they were watching a video.
Upon hearing her voice, Shen Jiazhou shifted his gaze from his phone screen to her face, his eyes slowly moving until they finally settled on the small mole behind her eye.
“…What?” he asked in a low voice.
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her daze, took a slight step to the side, and her clear black and white eyes flickered as she said, "I just wanted to ask, are Yu Mingxue and Wen Zhixia friends? If they're just your brother's childhood friend, they shouldn't know Su Sisi, right?"
Shen Jiazhou, Gu Xingyuan, and Ning Fei, whom Shen Jiazhou mentioned before? None of them know Su Sisi.
After learning that Can Can was brought back from the orphanage, Yu Mingxue went straight to Su Sisi without asking any questions, which shows that she was very clear about Wen Zhixia's situation.
Shen Jiazhou saw Wen Shuqiao's actions and expressions clearly, and a subtle emotion flashed through his mind. He watched her mouth open and close as she spoke, and after a long while, he said, "The only way to know for sure is to ask her."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay, I'll ask when I have the chance."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head, picked up the water glass that was on the stove, and left the kitchen.
Shen Jiazhou was about to go out when his phone started vibrating. He looked down and saw it was his second uncle calling.
He glanced at it, then placed the phone on the stove, picked up the water, and left the kitchen.
Wen Shuqiao turned around and looked at him when she heard the phone ring: "Aren't you going to answer it?"
Shen Jiazhou gave a soft "Ah": "It's a nuisance call, there's no point in answering it."
After saying that, she went to watch Can Can play with the puzzle. Wen Shu Qiao couldn't help but wonder, does the CEO's phone also receive harassing calls?

The next day.
When Wen Shuqiao came downstairs, Shen Jiazhou was already preparing to leave.
She stood on the stairs and asked, "So early today?"
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "I have something to take care of. I'll be free after these few days. Why are you up so early?"
In just a few words, Wen Shuqiao came downstairs. She said, "I'm used to waking up early. Is Can Can awake yet?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "He's not awake. By the way, don't wait for me for dinner tonight. I'll probably be back quite late."
Wen Shuqiao agreed, noting that Shen Jiazhou seemed to be in a good mood today.
Shen Jiazhou had already changed his shoes and was about to open the door when he remembered something: "By the way, Yu Mingxue might be looking for you."
“I know, she said so,” Wen Shuqiao said. “She’s here, I’ll tell you.”
Shen Jiazhou nodded, and after opening the door, he turned to ask, "Are you still going to look at houses today?"
Wen Shuqiao shook her head: "I don't know yet. The agent hasn't contacted me. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually." Shen Jiazhou opened the door a little wider: "Let's go."
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Bye-bye, drive carefully."
As the door closed, a "hello" came from behind. Wen Shuqiao took two steps toward the children's room before realizing, "Has Shen Jiazhou had breakfast yet?"
She looked at the dining table and saw that there was breakfast, so she must have already eaten.
Wen Shuqiao withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards the children's room.
Can Can was still fast asleep. The little girl had rolled to the edge of the bed. I don't know how she fell asleep. If she had come in any later, she probably would have fallen off the bed.
She smiled and gently pushed him inside to prevent him from falling, then tucked the blanket around him before leaving the children's room.
When Can Can woke up naturally, it was already 8:30. He rolled around in the blankets for a while before slowly getting up, putting on his soft clothes, and fussing for a while before realizing why the system hadn't woken him up today.
He called out a few times, but the system didn't respond.
Has the system gone to sleep too?
Can Can got out of bed, put on the new doll shoes that had been delivered, and walked out of the bedroom.
He spotted Wen Shuqiao working at the dining table at a glance, and he strode over to her, as if in a pleasant surprise: "Hey! Auntie!"
Wen Shuqiao turned her head and touched his face: "Get up."
Can Can nodded: "Where's Uncle?"
"Uncle went to work," Wen Shuqiao said. "Are you hungry? Come and eat after you wash up. How about duck noodle soup today?"
Can Can covered his stomach with both hands and nodded hungryly. He could eat two big bowls of food now!
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Can Can has another task today: to give the milk and cake a new look.
Wen Shuqiao bought it a few days ago, and it's dried in the last couple of days, so I can wear it now.
Cancan is the main one when it comes to changing clothes. Milk and cake are like toys to him; he does whatever he wants without making a fuss.
When Wen Shuqiao found out, she entrusted the task to him, and Cancan was very happy to do so.
This time, I bought festive red clothes. After changing the milk and cake into them, they looked very cheerful.
Cancan said, "Auntie, I want to wear red clothes too!"
He was beaming with joy!
Wen Shuqiao replied, "Okay, if we're going out, I'll make sure you wear a red coat, okay?"
Can Can nodded in satisfaction: "Okay!"
After changing out of his milk cake clothes, he suddenly remembered something and ran over to Wen Shuqiao, insisting on squeezing onto her.
Wen Shuqiao hugged him tightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Can Can asked, "Auntie, when will the pretty auntie come to see the baby?"
"I don't know yet. I'll tell you when she gets here." Wen Shuqiao looked down at him. "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell her?"
Can Can said, "You should apologize to Auntie. I forgot about her."
Mingming's mother has shown him the photos many times!
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "Okay, then you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the doorbell rang.
Wen Shuqiao and Cancan both looked towards the entrance. She put Cancan down and said, "I'll go take a look."
Can Can followed Wen Shu Qiao like a little tail.
Wen Shuqiao pressed the video call button by the door, and the person standing at the door appeared clearly on the screen.
It is Yu Mingxue.
