"Of course not, he's my own nephew. By the way, you know him, Qin Muyue, you two worked together on a movie."
Qiao Wanwan was shocked. "Qin Muyue is your nephew?"
"Yes, he is my nephew. However, I am not very close to my family and we are usually quite distant. This time, I had no choice but to ask him for help."
"What a coincidence," Qiao Wanwan said. "Qin Muyue and I are friends. He even saved me before."
"I only knew you two had worked together, but I didn't know you had such a good relationship."
"Did he help you find a place to live?"
"Well, he owns several properties, and he said they're all empty anyway, so he'll let me choose one to live in temporarily."
"No need for that trouble." Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "The Imperial View Group has two new residential projects that are about to open for sale. I'll have someone reserve one for you as a gift."
“No way,” Qin Shujun refused. “I didn’t take your check before, so there’s even less chance I’ll take your house now.”
“Okay.” Qiao Wanwan had gotten to know her a bit. “How about this, if you really want to settle down in the capital, I’ll sell you a unit at an internal price. The properties under the Dijing Group are known for their high quality, and the property management is also handled by the group itself, so it’s very comprehensive.”
"Of course I know. Your family also owns a house in Haicheng, a very high-end one." Qin Shujun pondered for a moment and said, "Wanwan, I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, I hope you won't be angry."
"Because of Xiao Jiu, I want to stay in the capital. But don't misunderstand, I never intended to compete with you for Xiao Jiu; I just want to be closer to him. If you agree, I'd like to visit him occasionally..."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. I know Xiao Jiu is your emotional support, and I won't shatter it. Xiao Jiu will have two mothers, and he will be very happy."
Qin Shujun was taken aback, but after understanding her meaning, tears streamed down her face. "Wanwan, thank you, thank you so much..."
"Because of Xiao Jiu, we're practically family now, so there's no need to say things like that."
“No, you don’t understand.” Qin Shujun burst into tears, her emotions spiraling out of control. “From the day I was born with a congenital disease, and the doctors said it was basically impossible to cure, my life was practically sentenced to death.”
“Our family is well-off and we don’t lack money to raise children. Boys can inherit the family business and girls can marry into other families. So even though I already have two older brothers, my parents still want to have more children.”
"Once my mother recovered, they quickly started planning for another child, and she had a younger sister and a younger brother. There were five siblings in the family, and I was the least favored one because of my illness, which made it difficult to even arrange a marriage for me."
"Later I met my husband. He loved me very much, didn't care about my poor health, didn't care whether I could have children, and married me without hesitation. That was my rebirth."
"Later, he fell ill and passed away, and I died again. It was Xiao Jiu who held me back until now." Qin Shujun looked at her with tears streaming down her face. "Wanwan, you have given me a second chance at life."
Qiao Wanwan gently hugged her, "I used to think that my life was also dark and gloomy. I was disfigured, I was lame, and I was betrayed by a scumbag. But later I found that God saved the best for me."
"Yes, Zhan Ye is really good. When he looks at you, his eyes are full of tenderness. He is a rare and wonderful man."
"So what I want to say is, Sister Shujun, look forward, everything will be alright."
"Yes, I believe you..."
......
Although Cheng Zaozao's looks can't compare to Qiao Wanwan's, she's still the kind of girl who grows on you. Her pure and innocent charm is endearing and easily attracts fans. Plus, in this summer's box office battle, she beat Meng Xinyi, and it can be said that she became an instant hit.
Qiao Wanwan was initially worried that Cheng Zaozao would be too tired to juggle filming and studying, but Cheng Zaozao had her own plans from the start. She didn't accept roles easily, only taking on high-quality scripts, and even turned down some commercials and variety shows.
Wen Lixuan called and said, "Zaozao is quite down-to-earth. She doesn't want to become an instant sensation, but rather takes a steady and solid approach, which is a good thing."
Qiao Wanwan was very pleased, "This is the requirement she set for herself when she decided to enter the industry, which can be regarded as not forgetting her original intention."
"With such a capable older sister like you, your younger sister is naturally just as good."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "By the way, don't reveal that we're sisters. If you do, there will always be some bored people gossiping. All of Zaozao's achievements are due to her own hard work and have nothing to do with me."
"I know, don't worry."
Cheng Zaozao still prioritizes her studies, but she's busier than before, spending most of her weekends rushing to work and not even having time to go back to Wutong Bay.
In September, Qiao Wanwan sent her two children to school.
At first, she was worried about whether Xiao Jiu could adapt to kindergarten life, but she didn't expect that Xiao Jiu would not resist at all. Every morning she would get up on time, carry her little schoolbag, and go out hand in hand with Shi Yi.
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She would take them to school in the morning and pick them up in the evening, and spend almost all her other time in the laboratory.
Qiao Wanwan's baby is already six months old. The last time she had an amniocentesis, no genetic disease was detected. But this time, however, a new discovery was made!
“Master, look.” Qiao Wanwan pulled up a comparison chart for the Ghost Hand Doctor. “This is Xiao Jiu’s blood sample data, and this is Lao San’s data. Their data are very similar, so it can be concluded that Lao San will also be unable to escape the fate of hereditary disease.”
The quack doctor examined it carefully and said, "It really is."
Qiao Wanwan touched her belly, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Wanwan, don't be sad," the Ghost Hand Doctor comforted her. "Now that Xiao Jiu has been found and hasn't started having an attack yet, we still have time. And on the bright side, as long as we can find a way to treat Xiao Jiu, we can use the same method to treat Lao San."
“That’s right. It concerns two children, so I can’t slack off.” Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath. “Master, I’ve made a breakthrough. Let me show you. The combination of these herbs has the fewest side effects. I plan to give it to Xiao Jiu and have him have blood drawn for tests every day. I can adjust or stop the medication as needed. This way, it won’t affect his health. It’s just that the child will have to suffer a bit more.”
“Although Xiao Jiu is young, he is very sensible. He will understand you.” The Ghost Hand Doctor suddenly remembered something. “You didn’t tell Shu Jun about Xiao Jiu’s hereditary disease, did you?”
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "She has a heart condition. I was thinking of telling her when she's feeling better, so she won't be overwhelmed by the news."
"That's right. She loves Xiao Jiu so much. If she knew the truth, she would definitely be heartbroken."
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan became even busier, and with her pregnancy progressing, she was more likely to be spotted when she went out, so she basically left the task of picking up and dropping off the baby to Qin Shujun.
In the evening, Qiao Wanwan was in the laboratory when the door was suddenly knocked open.
"Madam!" Zheng Ma rushed in through the door. "Something terrible has happened! The young master is in trouble!"
