"I understand. Am I wrong? You've been guessing all this time, adults are so boring." The little sister slid off the sofa with disdain and ran upstairs.
At that very moment, Qin Xiaoyu suddenly made a decision.
She's going to Shanghai. She wants to find out the truth in person.
When Xiao Si's wife heard that Qin Xiaoyu and the others were going to Shanghai, she couldn't sit still.
"I'm going to see Xiao Zichen, and nobody can stop me!" Fourth Sister-in-law kept making a fuss.
"You're pregnant again. You can't abandon your daughter just because you have a son." Qi Si was really scared. If his wife wasn't pregnant, he would have let her go to Shanghai, Hong Kong, or even the United States. But now that they were a boy and a girl, he had to be careful.
"Tang Long, you should go too. Xiao Li has never been to Shanghai." My cousin-in-law is now willing to spend money and feels that Xiao Li is being wronged. Letting her go to Shanghai for her honeymoon would be a way to make up for it.
"No, we'll just have a short trip nearby, we won't go to Shanghai." To her surprise, Xiaoli refused.
"Sister-in-law, this is a young couple on their honeymoon. How can you expect them to come along with the old and the young? Aren't you in a hurry to have a grandson?" Tang Hu's mother pushed her cousin-in-law, and Xiao Li's face turned red instantly.
Another important matter on this trip to Shanghai is that Qin Xiaoyu will bring Qin Xiaoye along and formally hand her over to Tang Wenwen. She has already completed internships in various places, and the trip to Shanghai will be a real-world test, so Tang Wenwen will need to guide her for a while.
Jiang Fusheng kept urging her, and Qin Xiaoyu dared not ignore it; she couldn't let the couple always be separated.
Qin Xiaoye's abilities are not as good as Tang Wenwen's, so Qin Xiaoyu doesn't dare to expect her to get the business up and running in one go. She can only wait for another opportunity to add more help to her.
This group booked soft sleeper berths. Xiaoyu shared one room with her two children, while Zhou Xing's mother and Commander Zhou shared another.
The two children had gone out with Commander Zhou before and had seen a lot of things, so they weren't too surprised. At first, the train conductor was a little worried when the two children came on board, but seeing that they were calm, steady, and polite, he praised them highly and assumed that it was a family of three generations traveling together.
Zhou Xing's mother didn't say anything, but secretly wiped away a tear. It was originally a family matter, and now it's just that Zhou Xing is missing.
Qin Xiaoyu had already booked a hotel and couldn't go to the Fang family's house rashly. She just informed Tang Wenwen first.
As they exited the platform, they were surprised to see Tang Wenwen standing below the steps, with a stretched Lincoln behind her.
"Mrs. Fang said that it's inconvenient for you to stay outside with the children, so she sent a car over so you can go straight home," Tang Wenwen said with a smile.
Is he there?
"They're not here. They haven't come over. You guys..." Tang Wenwen sensed something.
"It's nothing." Qin Xiaoyu saw that the children were all around her, and there were some things she couldn't say or explain clearly at the moment, so she could only give them a wink.
Tang Wenwen, who was most in sync with her, didn't ask any more questions.
"Sister, I'm not going. Let Sister Wenwen arrange a place for me to stay," Qin Xiaoye suggested.
This time, it was agreed that she wouldn't appear as Qin Xiaoyu's sister, but as an ordinary employee named Ye Xiaoqin.
Knowing her stubborn nature, Qin Xiaoyu could only go along with her and first took her to a hotel to stay. Last time she came to the Fang family's house, Qin Xiaoyu didn't know much about the place. This time, after taking a closer look, she realized that the Fang family's house wasn't just this one small building; the adjacent buildings also belonged to the Fang family.
Mrs. Fang was waiting on the first floor when she heard the car.
Qin Xiaoyu and her group entered the house and exchanged pleasantries. Madam Fang was very polite to Commander Zhou and his wife.
Upon hearing that the two children were Qin Xiaoyu's children, Madam Fang specially called them over, examined them carefully, and asked a few questions.
"She takes after her mother; they're both incredibly intelligent," Mrs. Fang said with a smile and a nod.
Commander Zhou was overjoyed when he heard someone praising Hanhan, and he didn't even bother to distinguish whether it was true or false.
"I've already arranged the rooms. You can go up and take a look. We'll have dinner together later."
A woman's laughter came from outside. She was carrying Xiao Zichen, and Aunt Chen followed behind her as they entered the house.
"We're here. We just woke up, and I've been resting for a bit."
"I told you to sleep upstairs with him, but you insisted on going back and forth like this," Mrs. Fang said reproachfully.
"The child still prefers his own room; it makes him feel safe. Wenwen got me a lot of parenting books, and I've read them all." The aunt smiled as she handed Xiao Zichen to Zhou Xing's mother.
The child has been gone for half a year and has grown a lot. He is now fair-skinned and chubby, and his big eyes are incredibly bright.
"This one looks a bit unfamiliar." Zhou Xing's mother saw that Xiao Zichen's eyes were wide open and he looked very serious.
"Little brother, little brother!" The little sister squeezed in and touched Xiao Zichen's little hand.
Xiao Zichen paused for a moment, then suddenly grinned and giggled.
"This child is so well raised." Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but admire. Her aunt was really efficient; the one-year-old baby didn't drool at all.
"He's really well-raised. I've never liked children; I find them too noisy. All my grandchildren are brought here for me to see briefly before I take them away. I lose patience if they stay any longer. But this child is different. I just like him the moment I see him; I feel an instant connection with him." Madam Fang's eyes were full of smiles. It seems that little Zichen is the darling of the family.
Qin Xiaoyu felt relieved. Judging from the current situation, it was more likely that Tang Wenwen would settle down in Shanghai. Not to mention that the department store was becoming increasingly dependent on her, Madam Fang was also reluctant to bring her child back to the provincial capital.
Seeing that everyone was surrounding the child, she stepped back to make room for them.
I glanced out the window and suddenly saw a Cherokee disappear in a flash.
Strange, didn't Tang Wenwen say that A Lei wasn't here?
Could it be that he heard they were coming and rushed over?
Qin Xiaoyu's heart pounded wildly. This feeling... it was like first love, a little impulsive and silly.
She hurriedly looked away, only to find Madam Fang looking at her with a half-smile, the meaning of which was unclear.
"Has A Lei not gone to the Northeast during this time?" Madam Fang asked.
From this sentence, Qin Xiaoyu guessed that not only Tang Wenwen didn't know about their breakup, but even the Fang family didn't know, which was awkward.
"Yes, he didn't go." Qin Xiaoyu killed the conversation immediately and gave Zhou Xing's mother a wink.
"Let's go upstairs first. Our hands are dirty from the car ride, so don't touch your little brother again." Zhou Xing's mother understood immediately. She handed Xiao Zichen to her aunt, took her little sister's hand, and the group went upstairs together.
Qin Xiaoyu stayed in the same room as last time, while Zhou Xing's mother and Commander Zhou stayed next door.
"Give these two siblings to me, you can go about your business yourself." Zhou Xing's mother led the two children directly into their suite.
Qin Xiaoyu understood her good intentions; there was still a glimmer of hope that A Lei would appear.
Will he come?
After Qin Xiaoyu settled everyone in, she led them downstairs. It was already dinnertime. There was one more person at the table: her third sister, whom she had met in Hong Kong last time.
The third sister remained as warm as ever, giving Qin Xiaoyu a hug as soon as they met.
