Perhaps realizing that it was a bit of an exaggeration to think that a one and a half year old baby was not too long ago, Jiang Lanxue burst into tears.
Her eyes were filled with tears: "Chongren, I miss that child so much. She was so young and in poor health. I was really afraid that she had passed away a long time ago."
"It would be great if Chi Beibei was that child."
Sheng Chongren held Jiang Lanxue in his arms and comforted her softly, "Lanxue, I will take you to the Chi family to find Chi Feng and ask him about it tomorrow."
......
The next day.
After Chi Beibei finished her morning run, she went to Grandpa Chen's place at the foot of the mountain to buy some breakfast. When she reached the fork in the road, Gu Yanchuan was already waiting for her at the old place.
Chi Beibei handed him one of the breakfasts: "Yanchuan, this is for you."
Gu Yanchuan didn't hesitate and picked up a sweet biscuit and threw it into his mouth.
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Chen's breakfast is still so delicious."
"I knew you like sweet food." Chi Beibei's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled, "All the ones I chose for you are sweet."
"Xiaobei, you really understand me."
Gu Yanchuan laughed twice and picked up another pumpkin pie.
Snowball gave the villain who ate in a wild manner a graceful look, then took a small rice ball and took a bite.
The host has already put its breakfast in the space, so please give it breakfast first.
Gu Yanchuan, who didn't know he was being looked down upon, quickly prepared breakfast and motioned for Chi Beibei to get in the car: "Let's get going quickly, don't keep Teacher Shi waiting for too long."
"Okay." Chi Beibei sat in the back seat of Gu Yanchuan's car, holding the hem of his clothes with one hand and holding a pancake with the other, eating it in small bites.
When Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue's car reached the foot of the mountain, they just passed by them.
"Honey, look, that's Beibei." Jiang Lanxue saw Chi Beibei at a glance.
Sheng Chongren looked in the direction Jiang Lanxue pointed, and saw the Prince of Gu family driving Chi Beibei away slowly. Chi Beibei was holding breakfast with a smile on her face.
"Husband, are we going to stop Beibei?"
Sheng Chongren said, "Let's ask Chi Feng about the situation first. It would be bad if something that has not been confirmed affects Beibei. Isn't she going to take the college entrance examination next year?"
"That's right." Jiang Lanxue clenched Sheng Chongren's hand. She hadn't figured out how old Beibei was when Chi Feng adopted her. If he really took her home just a few days after she was born, then Chi Beibei couldn't be their child.
"Lan Xue, you need to calm down. There are many people in this world who look alike, but they are not necessarily related by blood."
Sheng Chongren actually also hoped that Chi Beibei would be his eldest daughter, but he was afraid that Jiang Lanxue had too high expectations and would not be able to bear the blow, so he had to pour some cold water on her.
"I've been disappointed too many times." Jiang Lanxue turned her head away and looked out the window absent-mindedly. Over the years, she had met many girls who were somewhat like her, and Chi Beibei was the most like her.
I hope Chi Beibei is really her child.
......
Chi Feng and Xia Shuyu were waiting in the living room. Chi Jiangmo and Chi Mingchu were not at home. The former went to the company to work overtime, and the latter went to Ji's house to find Ji Youli.
Xia Shuyu's beauty sleep was interrupted, and she looked unhappy: "Isn't today Sunday? What important matter is there that you have to come to my house so early in the morning to talk about?"
Chi Feng was rinsing the fine celadon tea set with hot water. He said in a good-natured manner, "The chairman of Sheng Pharmaceutical is an honored guest. It would be beneficial for us to have a good relationship with him."
"Then you don't have to come here so early in the morning, right?"
Chi Feng didn't mind Sheng Chongren's abruptness: "He said he had something important to ask me, maybe he wanted my help. If that's the case, wouldn't he owe us a favor?"
"Okay." Xia Shuyu adjusted her hair. "I heard that Madam Sheng was a rare beauty when she was young, and she was from Jiangnan. I really want to see how beautiful she is."
Chi Feng answered decisively: "Of course you are the prettiest." Although he is a little thick-skinned, he still knows how to answer this simple question. No matter who his wife is compared with, he will say that his wife is the most beautiful.
"Disgusting." Xia Shuyu turned her eyes away in disgust, but Chi Feng thought she was shy. Just as he was about to say a few more words, Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue arrived.
Aunt Lin welcomed them in and prepared slippers for them.
"Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, welcome, welcome." Chi Feng stood up and invited them to sit in the living room.
Hearing that Madam Sheng was from Suzhou and Sheng Chongren doted on his wife, Chi Feng personally brewed the best West Lake Longjing tea: "President Sheng, Madam Sheng, this is the West Lake Longjing tea I bought. I don't know the quality. Please taste it."
Xia Shuyu looked at Jiang Lanxue for a few times. Tsk, she’s not that great, so weak and fragile. Does she think she is Xi Shi? It's healthier to be plump like her.
But Mrs. Sheng's skin looks pretty good. I don't know how she maintains it. I'll ask her later what skin care products she uses and which beauty salon she goes to most often.
However, Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue were not interested in the tea at all. Jiang Lanxue did not care about Xia Shuyu's gaze. She gently touched Sheng Chongren with her elbow.
Sheng Chongren took a sip of tea and asked, "Mr. Chi, I came here today to ask you and Mrs. Chi about Chi Beibei."
Before Xia Shuyu could react, Chi Feng quickly patted her shoulder and asked, "What is it about?"
"When and where did you adopt Chi Beibei?"
Chi Feng had already thought of an excuse when Chi Mingchu returned to the Chi family. He said, "Not long after Mingchu was born, he was sent abroad. My wife became ill due to missing her, so I adopted Beibei."
"Can you please tell me how old Chi Beibei was when she was adopted?"
"Of course it was not long after the baby was born." Seeing Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue staring at him, Chi Feng suddenly felt inexplicably stiff and continued, "Chi Beibei's child was only one month old at that time."
What a joke! Can he say that he adopted Chi Beibei when she was one and a half years old? If we calculate ahead of time, we will know that the Chi family’s company was in a critical period of listing at that time. What if it aroused other people’s suspicion?
Jiang Lanxue's face turned pale instantly. She asked in a trembling voice, "Where was he adopted?"
"Actually, he was adopted by a distant relative." Sheng Chongren couldn't produce the formal adoption procedures, so he could only tell others that he was adopted from a distant relative.
"Why haven't I seen Chi Beibei's biological father and mother come to see her?" Jiang Lanxue's mind was actually blank, but she was still trying to find a hint of possibility from Chi Feng's words that Chi Beibei was her child.
Chi Feng gradually realized that something was wrong. The Sheng couple's attitude towards Chi Beibei was a little strange.
"Because they are very distant relatives, I gave them a considerable amount of nutrition money and agreed that Chi Beibei would cut off all ties with them from now on."
