Chapter 265 He'll invest in letting the two kids ring a bell then.
She is a natural pessimist.
When faced with a difficult problem that I can't solve, all I can think about is the worst-case scenario.
She imagined herself as a drug dealer's daughter, as an abandoned "Zhao Di," and as a pitiful little girl that Yan Qihang randomly stole from some hospital...
She had simulated scenarios for all sorts of people who might come to claim kinship.
So, when she heard Song Jingyi's words that day, she actually felt relieved.
This is much better than she had imagined.
Regardless of her biological parents, her brother is a very good person.
Reliable.
She went back to her room and thought a lot, and the more she thought about it, the more at ease she felt.
Especially Song Jingyi's line, "With me here, no one can take Xiaoyu away unless she wants to."
It made her feel incredibly at ease.
From the first time she met Song Jingyi, she felt that he was very reliable.
Therefore, she suspected that her biological parents might have problems, but she didn't dwell on it.
With Song Jingyi around, nothing will happen.
“Your uncle is here too.” Shen Zhiye quietly wiped away her tears. “No one can take you away from your mother and me unless you want to.”
“And there’s your older brother.” Shen Yanzhou reached out and patted her head.
This little girl was stronger and braver than he had imagined.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget your brother!" Shen Yunqi hurriedly called out twice from the other end of the video call, as Yan Buyu's phone was on the table.
He was so upset. At this crucial moment, his rivals were trying to take his sister away from him. Otherwise, he should have been by his sister's side.
Thankfully, his sister was well-behaved and knew to bring him along for such an important family meeting.
Yan Buyu didn't cry. She kept a faint smile on her face, took two tissues, and walked to Lan Xinyan's side. "Mom, don't cry. Your eyes will be swollen when you play cards tomorrow."
Lan Xinyan took the tissue and said, "Mommy is just... just... my good baby."
After saying that, she pulled Yan Buyu into her arms again.
This is the child she has raised since he was six years old.
What's the difference between them and biological children?
It just didn't go through her belly.
“Mom, it’s alright, really,” Yan Buyu comforted softly. “By the way, Brother Jingyi said he’ll be visiting us tonight.”
Lan Xinyan sat up straight and composed herself. "I heard from your older brother that it's all good. We should have a proper meal together. As long as he doesn't take you away, we'll consider him an additional relative."
"Alright, let the child eat wontons quickly," Shen Zhiye patted Lan Xinyan's shoulder, then looked at Yan Buyu, "This is good. Since you and he are related by blood, and he treats you well, it's right to spend more time together."
"Hey! I can't go back tomorrow! If you guys are chatting while you're eating, video chat with me! I want to hear it!" Shen Yunqi shouted on the other end of the phone.
Yan Buyu chuckled, "Brother, how are you? Did that contestant agree to sign you?"
"Don't even mention it. His maternal grandmother's house is in a fishing village. The address we found before was in the city. There are more than a dozen fishing villages of all sizes here, totaling nearly a thousand households. My legs are about to give out today, and I still haven't found out anything. I'll have to keep going tomorrow."
After discussing the main points of the family meeting, everyone felt relieved.
Shen Zhiye felt like teasing his son, "Son, is the seafood over there delicious?"
"I'm so sick of seafood, I want noodles!" Shen Yunqi got angry as soon as he mentioned it. "Yan Buyu, I want your noodles!"
"Then I'll cook for you every day when you come back," Yan Buyu said, feeling a little sorry for him. "Brother, you're working so hard, but with your efforts, you'll definitely succeed. My brother is the best! My brother's e-sports company will definitely go public!"
"Go public? Go public for what reason?" Shen Zhiye looked completely bewildered.
"My brother's e-sports company," Yan Buyu looked at Shen Zhiye with a serious expression and a sincere tone, "Uncle, although it's just starting out, I believe in my brother's abilities. He will definitely succeed. He promised me that he would take me to ring the bell when the company goes public."
For a moment, Shen Zhiye's mind didn't quite register what was happening.
What he sometimes didn't understand was where his daughter's trust in his mentally challenged son came from.
They just acquired a small company, and they haven't even signed a single well-known player yet, but they're already planning to ring the bell at the stock exchange?
What he needs to consider now is how to get the company running and how to avoid losing money.
However, this brother and sister were a case of one making empty promises while the other was actually enjoying the fruits of their labor.
After much deliberation, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
So that my wife won't accuse me of discouraging the kids' enthusiasm later.
"Alright, let's eat the wontons first," Shen Yanzhou, who hadn't spoken for a while, said, as he finished cooling the wontons and placed them in front of Yan Buyu. "You'll have the energy to ring the bell when you're full."
"Thank you, big brother," Yan Buyu smiled sweetly, then looked into her phone, "Brother, keep up the good work tomorrow! We're counting on you to ring the bell!"
Shen Yunqi was exhausted after a fruitless day and was in a bad mood.
But upon hearing his sister's words, he instantly regained his energy. "Don't worry! I have plenty of strength. We'll continue tomorrow. I refuse to believe I can't find him. Yan Buyu, I always keep my word. Just wait, I'll make sure you get that little hammer!"
"Okay!" Yan Buyu's eyes crinkled with joy.
Shen Zhiye: ...Never mind, as long as my daughter is happy. If all else fails, I'll just invest in having the two kids ring a bell.
A heartwarming moment between a family of five can always heal the hearts of everyone present.
Now that the biggest knot in my heart has been untied, there's nothing to feel bad about anymore.
Lan Xinyan looked at Yan Buyu, who had finished eating, and said, "Jingyi is coming tomorrow, what dishes should we prepare? It should be a grand affair, so as not to embarrass you. How about a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"
“That’s too extravagant,” Yan Buyu leaned against her. “His tastes should be similar to mine.”
Shen Yanzhou also said, "Buyu, Aunt Lan is right. We should be more formal. This is the first time he has visited as a relative of yours, so our family should be polite."
Shen Zhiye agreed, "Yes, we need to have everything, from land and sea to air. We'll pick out the dishes our daughter loves from the Manchu Han Imperial Feast and make a lot of them. Tomorrow I won't go anywhere; I'll just stay home and work with the head chef to develop the recipes."
He remained silent, but felt a warm glow inside.
She understood the meaning behind her family's actions.
Let her family know how much she is valued in this family.
Let her family know how well she is doing.
Regardless of whether the other party wanted to acknowledge her back, seeing the Shen family's attitude towards her, they would certainly not neglect her.
"I'm so happy, Mom." Yan Buyu's voice was soft and sweet as she snuggled against Lan Xinyan's chest with her eyes half-closed. "I'm already twenty-one, and I can still act cute with my family."
Lan Xinyan smiled and said, "As long as Mom is here, even if you're eighty-one, you can still act cute with your family."
