"Have you told Zhi Qiu about Yan Yan's matter?" Lu Jia suddenly realized the key point and quickly asked Rong Mo.
"No." Rong Mo was startled, a hint of worry flashing across his face. He shouted to Lu Jia, "Quickly call Zhi Qiu."
Lu Jia quickly took out his phone and dialed Shen Zhi Qiu's number.
Shen Zhi Qiu is currently on the third floor with her two little ones.
She sat on the bed, smiling broadly as she held up her camera and called out to the two little ones, "Niannian, Zhaozhao, look at Mommy here." She hoped to capture the children's purest smiles and record this beautiful moment.
However, Niannian and Zhaozhao were completely oblivious to their mother's calls. Their attention was entirely drawn to the doll in Zhou Xiaoran's hands, their eyes filled with longing and curiosity. The two little ones grinned foolishly, seemingly incredibly excited about the small doll.
Seeing this, Shen Zhi Qiu quickly pressed the shutter, capturing this adorable moment. Looking at the two innocent smiling faces on the camera screen, her heart was filled with warmth and happiness.
Zhou Xiaoran put down the dolls, gave the two little ones a thumbs up, and praised them, "Great job!"
Niannian stretched out her chubby little hand, her face filled with longing, trying to grab the toy on the bed. Zhou Xiaoran looked at Niannian's adorable appearance, chuckled, picked up the toy, and handed it to Niannian. However, just then, Zhaozhao suddenly pouted, looking aggrieved, and burst into tears.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at Zhao Zhao with heartache, knowing that Zhao Zhao was sad because she hadn't received her toy. She gently picked Zhao Zhao up and tenderly comforted her, "Zhao Zhao, don't cry, Mommy will get you a toy." She picked up another toy from the bed and handed it to Zhao Zhao. But Zhao Zhao kicked her little legs desperately and cried even harder. She just wanted to see the one she was holding.
Niannian saw Zhaozhao crying and was at a loss.
"I'll give it to you after you play with it for a while, okay? You're the older brother, so you should let your younger sister have her, okay?" Shen Zhi Qiu said gently, patting Zhao Zhao's back with a hint of helplessness.
But Zhao Zhao was just a baby. He only knew that his demands were not being met, so he cried and screamed even more recklessly.
Perhaps it was the special bond between the siblings that made Niannian, who was holding the doll tightly, let go of it when she saw Zhaozhao crying so sadly, and looked at Zhaozhao with her big, round eyes.
“Niannian wants Zhaozhao to play with her for a while, right? Then let’s each play for a while, okay?” Zhou Xiaoran leaned down and asked Niannian gently.
"Knock knock knock." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Shen Zhi Qiu put Zhao Zhao down, thinking that Aunt Zhao must have prepared the milk powder.
“Miss, Mr. Lu called you and Miss Zhou but you didn’t answer. He called the landline at home.” Aunt Zhao pushed open the door and said to Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Shen Zhi Qiu handed Zhao Zhao to Aunt Zhao who came in, put on her slippers, and said as she walked, "We were taking pictures downstairs earlier, so we just left it downstairs. We didn't expect them to call. I'm going down now."
"Okay, Miss, please go quickly. Mr. Lu seems to have something urgent to tell you," Aunt Zhao said, taking the child from her.
Shen Zhi Qiu walked quickly downstairs, only to see Yan Yan walking from the entrance hall into the living room.
"Yan Yan?" Shen Zhi Qiu was taken aback. She was somewhat displeased when she thought of how Yan Yan had wronged her before, but she was even more surprised that Yan Yan would be here.
But the important thing at the moment was Lu Jia's call, so Shen Zhi Qiu walked towards the landline first, saying, "I'll take this call first."
Yan Yan smiled, said nothing, leisurely straightened the hem of her dress, and sat down on the sofa.
"Hello?" Shen Zhi Qiu answered the phone, but there was no sound on the other end.
"Huh, did it hang up?" Shen Zhi Qiu said with some confusion, and then prepared to redial, but there was no sound on the phone.
Shen Zhi Qiu had no doubts and murmured, "Could it be broken? That shouldn't be the case."
Shen Zhi Qiu didn't have time to think much and started looking for her phone on the sofa, but the place where she put her phone was empty.
"Yan Yan, have you seen my phone? I remember leaving it here." Shen Zhi Qiu asked, pointing to the spot next to where Yan Yan was sitting.
"No, it was empty when I sat down. Are you sure you're not mistaken? I've heard that pregnancy makes you forgetful for three years, so maybe your memory is playing tricks on you." Yan Yan curled her lips into a slightly sarcastic smile.
"Yan Yan, what are you doing here?" Seeing her speak like this, Shen Zhi Qiu also put on a stern face. "You are no longer welcome in my home."
"Oh?" Yan Yan smiled. "But your dad really likes it when I'm around."
"You?!" Shen Zhi Qiu was speechless for a moment, her face turning extremely gloomy. "You really are insidious, despicable and shameless."
"Thank you for the compliment." Yan Yan leaned back naturally, then picked up the cigarette pack on the table, casually opened it, and lit a cigarette.
Shen Zhi Qiu felt that Yan Yan in front of her was very unfamiliar, completely unlike how she looked when she first met her.
But, for some reason, it felt somewhat familiar, that damned feeling of disgust.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, do you know how much I hate you?" Yan Yan took a deep drag of her cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke at Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Cough cough cough cough," Shen Zhi Qiu coughed violently, caught off guard.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, it's so hard for me to pretend to be a good person, after all, I've never been a good person," Yan Yan said, sitting up a little and speaking with a hint of teasing.
"Yan Yan, what exactly do you want? You've already gained my father's absolute trust and even sowed discord between us. If you want to be the mistress of the Rong family, you've already taken a big step forward." As Shen Zhi Qiu spoke, she subtly glanced at the long table on her right, then pretended to be a little scared and naturally took a step back to the right.
"Hahahaha, who really wants to be the mistress of the Rong family! I don't have that weird fetish to like an old man!" Yan Yan threw her cigarette butt into the ashtray and laughed mockingly.
"Then what do you want to do?" Shen Zhi Qiu quietly reached out, picked up something from the long table, and hid it behind her back.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, I want you dead!" Yan Yan suddenly stood up, her face contorted with malice. "Why do you think the landline broke down? Before you came down, I had already sent the housekeeper away, and I cut the phone line too."
"You hate me that much?" Shen Zhi Qiu was stunned for a moment, her brows furrowing as her mind raced. She really couldn't understand Yan Yan's motive for hating her.
"Shen Zhi Qiu, have you ever considered that I am not Yan Yan at all?" Yan Yan took a step forward and said with a cold smile.
