She looked down and saw the little dumpling standing beside her, looking up at her with its big, bright eyes. She found it amusing and asked, "How did you know that sister-in-law is unhappy?"
"My sister-in-law didn't have a smile on her face when she came home from get off work today."
The adorable little Wu said earnestly, "My eyes are sharp, I definitely won't be mistaken!"
"Then take a look now."
Song Lan smiled, her eyes almost overflowing with joy: "Did you see clearly? Is your sister-in-law happy or unhappy now?"
"Happy, but..."
The adorable little dumpling tilted her head and started talking, but then suddenly stopped.
"But what?"
Song Lan asked with a smile.
"My sister-in-law only smiled after hearing what I said."
The adorable child, Xiao Wu, responded.
"You little rascal, you don't actually think your sister-in-law is just pretending to be happy, do you?"
Extending her index finger, Song Lan gently pinched the little guy's chubby cheeks and said, "Okay, thank you for caring about your sister-in-law, but your sister-in-law isn't just pretending to be happy, she's genuinely happy!"
"..."
The little boy, Xiao Wu, looked on in confusion. He couldn't understand why his sister-in-law, Song Lan, had suddenly become so happy.
Do you want to know why?
Song Lan could see what the child was thinking, and couldn't help but ask him softly.
"Um."
The adorable little boy nodded his head emphatically.
"It's because I was happy from the bottom of my heart that I smiled when I thought about how much more sensible our little Wu was today compared to yesterday! As for the fact that you thought your sister-in-law was unhappy when you first came into the kitchen, it was simply because your sister-in-law was thinking about a cute little dumpling at the time!"
"..."
Is that the adorable little dumpling your sister-in-law is talking about?
Thinking of this, the adorable little girl, Xiao Wu, couldn't help but feel shy and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Am I cute?"
"certainly."
With a big smile on her face, Song Lan said, "Our Xiao Wu is fair-skinned and pretty, and has a wonderful personality. She also knows how to take care of her younger sister. In your sister-in-law's heart, you are not only cute, but also a smart and well-behaved child!"
"..."
After hearing what Song Lan said, the adorable little Wu felt even more shy, but he pretended to be a little adult, put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and said with a blush, "Actually...actually, I'm just averagely cute and averagely smart and well-behaved, not as good as you described, sister-in-law!"
As the words fell, the adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, turned around, preparing to leave the kitchen. However, as he reached the kitchen doorway, he remembered that he had forgotten to say goodbye to Song Lan. So, he stopped and turned back to look at Song Lan: "Sister-in-law, I'm going back to my room to do my homework. I won't bother you here."
"good."
Song Lan looked at the little guy's mature demeanor and struggled to hold back her laughter.
Only after the sound of Meng Tuanzi's footsteps faded into the distance did she lose control and let out a soft laugh.
Finally, they've gotten rid of them. It wasn't easy for me!
Qin Yanzheng was explaining junior high school math to Wu Dong in the room when he suddenly heard Song Lan's thoughts, which inevitably made him suspicious.
What's the meaning?
Who did his wife finally get rid of?
His inner thoughts were tinged with laughter, and he seemed quite cheerful. Could it be that the two younger children in the family had gone to the kitchen to talk to their sister-in-law, and his wife, busy cooking, had managed to send them away?
Is that right?
Qin Yanzheng found the answer for himself: it must be!
But before he could even process what was on his mind, he heard Song Lan's thoughts again.
What Section Chief Liu said... was clearly pointed. Could there really be something fishy about the previous 'temporary transfer'? And considering what Section Chief Liu told me today, could it be... could it be that the Qian family is pulling strings behind the scenes?
Their sole purpose is to force me into submission... Doesn't the Qian family have any ulterior motives at all? Do they want me to be unable to stay in the security department, forcing me to seek help from my adoptive parents in Beijing, and then have the Qian family intervene to transfer my job back to my hometown, ultimately achieving their goal?
Unbeknownst to Song Lan, she had already guessed the truth!
The Qian family?
Foster parents?
Did his wife's adoptive parents have some kind of deal with the Qian family?
And this deal is related to Song Lan, his wife!
So which family is the Qian family?
What exactly were the transactions?
Qin Yanzheng frowned in thought.
Perhaps he was too absorbed in his own thoughts, and he didn't hear Wu Dong calling him for a long time.
"Comrade Qin!"
This was the fourth time Wu Dong had called Qin Yanzheng, and he waved his hand in front of Qin Yanzheng's eyes.
The next moment, Qin Yanzheng came to his senses: "Hmm? Is there a question you still don't understand?"
"No."
Wu Dong shook his head, and then said, "Let's call it a day!" Comrade Qin was probably tired, otherwise he wouldn't have been so distracted.
"...Okay, let's continue tomorrow."
After a moment of silence, Qin Yanzheng nodded slightly.
As Wu Donghe was reading his textbook, Qin Yanzheng asked, "Before we came here, did Song Lan mention the Qian family? Or did Bo Yan and the others mention them?"
After thinking for a moment, Wu Dong shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, Song Lan's thoughts echoed again.
Deputy Factory Director Qian and my father-in-law were competitors. I believe that with my father-in-law's professional abilities, it's impossible for him to make such a basic mistake on the blueprints. And after my father-in-law's accident, Deputy Factory Director Qian...
He was smoothly promoted to deputy factory director... In other words, with his father-in-law in trouble, the other party is the biggest beneficiary. It's possible... Deputy Factory Director Qian tampered with the blueprints?
Song Lan sighed.
Unfortunately, these are all just my speculations. If there were evidence, my father-in-law should be able to return to his original position soon!
With a mocking smile, Song Lan had absolutely no good feelings towards Deputy Factory Director Qian and his wife.
[You despicable scoundrel! Aren't you worried I'll scheme against the Qian family? You do things that harm others for your own benefit, yet you try to force me to submit. Do you think you're some kind of god?]
The more Song Lan thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was largely true.
Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that Deputy Factory Director Qian's success was too smooth?
The “temporary transfer” that happened to her is also quite strange when you think about it!
To put it simply, whether it's the fact that Deputy Director Qian successfully took over or her "secondment," there's definitely something fishy going on!
"Could you please go and call Bo...call Yaxin over here?"
Clearly, Qin Yanzheng originally intended to have Wu Dong call Qin Boyan over, but then remembered that his foolish younger brother was pretending to be stupid in front of him and couldn't get the information he wanted out of him. Therefore, Qin Yanzheng changed his mind and decided to find a breakthrough with Qin Yaxin.
"I'll go right away."
As Wu Dong spoke, he tidied up his desk, then got up and left the room.
A moment later, Qin Yaxin appeared in front of Qin Yanzheng: "Big brother, you were looking for me?"
"Um."
Qin Yanzheng nodded, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit."
Qin Yaxin responded with an "Oh".
She sat down in the chair, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Do you know Deputy Factory Director Qian?"
Qin Yanzheng asked.
"Know."
Qin Yaxin nodded.
"What is the relationship between your sister-in-law's adoptive parents and Deputy Factory Director Qian's family?"
Qin Yanzheng asked again.
Qin Yaxin was stunned. She didn't know why her older brother would suddenly ask this question. At the same time, alarm bells went off in her mind.
