It was not until they arrived at the hospital and watched the child being pushed into the examination room by the nurses that Shen Qingqing finally felt less nervous. She gradually relaxed and sat down on a chair in the corridor.
Only then did she remember that she seemed to have not informed the child's father yet.
Shen Qingqing took out her cell phone, called Zhou Yexuan, and informed him of Yanyan's hospitalization.
Zhou Yexuan was in a meeting at the time and was a little surprised to see Shen Qingqing's call. After all, in his impression, Shen Qingqing was not someone who would call him on her own initiative.
So even when he was in a meeting, he signaled to pause the meeting and then answered Shen Qingqing's call.
The woman's voice on the other end of the phone could not hide her anxiety, although he could tell that Shen Qingqing was trying her best to be calm.
Then he heard Shen Qingqing tell him that Yanyan had fainted in the kindergarten and had been sent to the hospital.
He was stunned for a moment, not caring that the meeting was only halfway through. He stopped the meeting and drove to the hospital.
When Zhou Yexuan arrived, he saw Shen Qingqing sitting alone on a chair in the corridor, obviously at a loss.
The recording of the program had naturally stopped at this time. Of course, because the incident happened during the recording of the program, the program crew still sent someone to accompany Shen Qingqing in the hospital, but now the staff went to the front desk to handle payment and other matters, leaving Shen Qingqing alone.
He quickly walked up to Shen Qingqing and whispered, "Qingqing, how is Yanyan?"
Shen Qingqing then raised her head and looked at her, and it was only then that Zhou Yexuan discovered that the woman who always had a proud expression now had tears all over her face.
She actually cried?
Zhou Yexuan was a little stunned. Did something really happen to Yanyan? His heart suddenly became panic.
At this time, the doctor came out of the emergency room and shouted, "Who is the child's family member?"
Zhou Yexuan was about to raise his hand, but Shen Qingqing, who was sitting at this time, raised her hand faster than him and said to the doctor, "Doctor, I am. I am the child's mother. Is there anything wrong with Yanyan?"
The doctor was a little surprised that Shen Qingqing was such a young and beautiful mother, but she had indeed accompanied the child to the hospital for the checkup from the beginning, so he said to Shen Qingqing, "We checked his body and there was nothing wrong with him. He was very healthy and had no allergies. He must have been frightened. The child is now stable. We will observe him for another night and he can be discharged if there is nothing wrong."
"Of course, you as parents still have to find a way to ask your child what scared him so that you can avoid such things in the future and provide psychological counseling for him."
Shen Qingqing felt relieved after hearing the doctor's words, but her brows furrowed again when she heard the words "psychological problems".
Was the child fainted because he was frightened or because of a previous experience?
Shen Qingqing was a little dazed. After the doctor left, she began to call the system in her mind, which she had not contacted for a long time. "System, are you still unwilling to tell me Yanyan's life experience? I have seen that grocery room. Except for being a little broken and dusty, there is nothing scary at all. Yanyan is not a timid person. This must be related to his previous experience. And don't try to fool me by saying that this is a metaphysical world and Yanyan was scared like this because he bumped into something metaphysical. I'm not stupid."
Of course the system knows that the host is not easy to fool. As a program, it also wants to sigh like a human.
The task is not easy, the system sighs.
"Host, telling you directly that the plot that is not set in the original novel is against the rules of our system. How about this, you ask Comrade Da Zhou first, after all, there is no one who knows more clearly than him, maybe he will be willing to tell you. If he is unwilling, or if he hides something, I can supplement it here."
After hearing what the system said, Shen Qingqing had to admit that it made some sense, and she also felt that Zhou Yexuan should tell her the truth of the matter.
So she turned around, looked at Zhou Yexuan, and said seriously, "Mr. Zhou, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
On the way here, Zhou Yexuan had basically understood the whole process of Zhou Jiayan's fainting. Now, combined with the psychological problem mentioned by the doctor, how could he not guess why the child was frightened?
Looking at Shen Qingqing's serious expression, he knew that he could no longer hide it from Shen Qingqing.
Zhou Yexuan sighed, "Qingqing, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Then they found a quiet little compartment, and Zhou Yexuan began to slowly recount what had happened.
Zhou Yexuan also has a younger sister named Zhou Ruoyan, who is six years younger than him.
Compared to the Zhou family's strict discipline of Zhou Yexuan, Zhou's parents doted on Zhou Ruoyan, pampering her and protecting her very well from childhood to adulthood.
The Zhou family has never liked to appear in the media. In addition, the media was not well developed at that time, and there was the kidnapping incident when Zhou Yexuan was a youth. Therefore, Zhou Qian and his wife planned to wait until Zhou Ruoyan graduated from university before making their daughter's identity public.
Zhou Yexuan studied business as his parents requested, preparing to inherit the family business in the future. Zhou Ruoyan, on the other hand, was much more relaxed and learned whatever he liked.
In Zhou Qian's words, the Zhou family is already rich enough, so his little princess can do whatever she wants. What's more, the Zhou family has an older brother, Zhou Yexuan, to work in the front, so Zhou Ruoyan can just comfortably receive stock dividends every year.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Ruoyan has lived a life more comfortable than that of a princess. She has also been well protected and remained innocent until she went to college.
Correspondingly, because of overprotection, Zhou Ruoyan lacks a lot of freedom that ordinary children have.
Zhou Ruoyan has loved painting since she was a child, and she chose fashion design as her major in college. It is well known that the best fashion design schools are in Europe, so Zhou Ruoyan had to go to Europe to study away from her parents for the first time.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Qian were very worried about their daughter, facing her aspirations, how could they refuse her from studying what she liked?
So they bought a high-end apartment near Zhou Ruoyan's university and arranged for chefs, nannies, bodyguards, etc. to take care of Zhou Ruoyan's daily life.
They would have been completely safe this way, but they didn't expect that their protection of Zhou Ruoyan in a vacuum gave the scumbag, who only knew the appearance of a person but not his heart, the opportunity to take advantage of her.
However, in Zhou Ruoyan's view, such protection is also another layer of restraint. Deep in her heart, she desperately desires freedom.
The girl who has grown up is eager to fly out of the golden cage that her parents have set for her. This time, going abroad to study in college, in addition to wanting to study her own interests, is also an attempt to break away from her parents' control.
So Zhou Ruoyan secretly moved out of the luxury apartment and chose to live in the school dormitory (although the rent of the school dormitory was not cheap), and began to make friends with classmates from all walks of life.
At the beginning, everything was going in a good direction. Not many people knew Zhou Ruoyan's identity, and the school environment was relatively simple. Although Zhou Ruoyan was a little spoiled because of her luxurious life since childhood, she was generally a kind and cheerful girl, and naturally made many friends who treated her sincerely.
Zhou Yexuan still remembers Zhou Ruoyan's happiness and excitement when they were talking on the phone at that time, and he was also very happy for his sister at that time.
And in a sense, he also did not agree with his parents protecting his sister too well. In his opinion, flowers in a greenhouse are destined to be fragile, and only after being exposed to wind and sun can they grow into strong trees.
However, he didn't expect that Zhou Ruoyan would face such a great setback.
In college, Zhou Ruoyan met Yanyan's biological father, Xia Yang, a sunny, handsome and honest man with a habitual smile. His hair was naturally curly, which made people feel very friendly when they met him.
Zhou Ruoyan met Xia Yang in the school's coffee shop. Although there are many Chinese people in the local area, and even a few in the school, Zhou Ruoyan still felt a sense of closeness to Xia Yang after meeting him, as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.
Xia Yang is not a student in the school. In his words, he has an art dream, but his family does not have the conditions to send him to such a top art school, so he can only come here first, prepare his portfolio while working several jobs to earn future tuition.
Zhou Ruoyan was a kind-hearted girl. After hearing Xia Yang's story, she felt sympathy for him and helped him from time to time, even taking him to attend classes at school.
In this way, Zhou Ruoyan and Xia Yang quickly became familiar with each other and fell in love. Of course, no matter how naive Zhou Ruoyan was, she understood that there was a huge gap between the conditions of her family and Xia Yang's family. She did not directly tell Xia Yang about her identity, but only said that her family ran a medium-sized business, which was enough to support her schooling.
Zhou Ruoyan didn't dare to let her parents know immediately, because she didn't know whether her parents, who had always been very protective of her, would look down on this boy from a poor family. So the first person she thought of was her brother who always had his own ideas.
She called Zhou Yexuan to inform him that she was in love and asked her brother for help.
When Zhou Yexuan heard that his sister was in love, he came directly to visit his sister and her new boyfriend.
He doesn't care about someone who is well-matched, but he cares about whether this so-called boyfriend is honest and reliable.
Xia Yang is very good at disguising himself, and Zhou Yexuan believes that he is very good at judging people. When he first met Xia Yang, he thought he was a sunny, cheerful and reliable young man, so he did not object to their relationship.
Seeing that her brother had nodded, Zhou Ruoyan naturally felt more at ease dating Xia Yang, and even looked forward to a happy life of marrying Xia Yang directly after graduation.
Zhou Yexuan is a person who has always been cautious in his work. Even a few years ago, he would not completely trust someone just by meeting him once, so he started looking for someone to investigate him.
What no one expected was that the ones who were one step faster than Zhou Yexuan were Zhou Qian and his wife.
Zhou Ruoyan thought she had kept the secret well from her parents, but Zhou Qian and his wife knew her much better than she thought. After a few phone calls, the couple noticed something was wrong with their daughter, so they asked someone to investigate and discovered that Zhou Ruoyan was actually in a relationship.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Qian, who have always loved their daughter, naturally wanted to investigate Xia Yang. They did not particularly care about her background. After all, the Zhou family developed under Zhou Qian's leadership. Before that, the Zhou family was only considered to be slightly wealthy.
However, after this investigation, they found that Xia Yang's problem was not just that his family was poor, his problem was that he was a complete liar.
He was not a boy who worked hard to earn tuition as he said. Instead, he had been hanging around in various art schools with high tuition fees for many years. He deceived many naive but wealthy girls with different excuses and earned a lot of money by interacting with them.
In short, he is a dissolute love scammer who makes his living by seducing rich girls.
In an instant, Zhou Qian and his wife were furious, especially Zhou Qian, who immediately arranged for a private plane to fly to Europe and started to "break up the couple."
However, Zhou Ruoyan was in the most passionate love at that time, and she also had a vague dissatisfaction with her parents' forced control in her heart.
After hearing Zhou Qian's so-called investigation results, her first reaction was naturally disbelief, and she also thought that her parents made it up on purpose because they didn't want her to be with a poor boy.
Zhou Qian did not wait for his daughter to break up with Xia Yang, but waited for Zhou Ruoyan's hysterical accusations, accusing them of controlling her in the name of "love" and discrediting her lover. As a result, Zhou Ruoyan broke up with her parents.
Zhou Qian has always been an arbitrary and serious person. Seeing his daughter like this, he thought it would be better to teach her a lesson. She was used to the pampered life of a little princess, and she would know her mistakes after going through a hard time.
Zhou Yexuan also knew about this and immediately flew over to try to reconcile them. After all, he had always had a good relationship with his sister since childhood, and he felt that Zhou Ruoyan should listen to what he said.
However, he did not think the matter was serious at the time. After all, how could there be any real hatred between parents and children?
However, he did not expect that his sister, who was obsessed with love, would believe everything the man said.
When he put the investigation results in front of Zhou Ruoyan, Zhou Ruoyan still didn't believe it. He just thought he was a lobbyist sent by his parents, and these so-called evidences were processed. He even called him a traitor.
Helplessly, he could only avoid it.
He thought that after all, Zhou Ruoyan was still young, and the relationship might fade after a few years.
However, he did not expect that Zhou Ruoyan would go all the way to the end. If he had known that he would do so, he would have taken Zhou Ruoyan away even if it meant making his sister hate him forever.
Zhou Ruoyan moved in with Xia Yang very quickly and even got married directly.
At the beginning, their life was quite happy. After all, although the Zhou family had stopped using Zhou Ruoyan's credit card, Zhou Ruoyan still had a lot of jewelry and bags, and she could balance her expenses by selling second-hand items.
Xia Yang also plays the role of a good boyfriend and a good husband, and the two look very sweet.
Even when Zhou Yexuan contacted Zhou Ruoyan and tried to get her to take it easy and not get too deep into it, Zhou Ruoyan said to him, "Look, even if I don't have a life of luxury, I'm still very happy. As long as Xia Yang and I work hard, even though we can't make as much money as you, we can still be happy."
However, all the good things ended when Zhou Ruoyan spent all her money. At the same time, Zhou Ruoyan was seven months pregnant. She found that her husband, who used to be very considerate, had become away from home early and came back late, and was no longer as gentle to her.
When Zhou Ruoyan questioned Xia Yang, Xia Yang said impatiently, "There's no money at home, don't I have to go out and earn money?"
Zhou Ruoyan couldn't stop her husband from going out, so she could only secretly follow Xia Yang to see what he was doing. Then she saw the man being intimate and even kissing another well-dressed woman.
She suddenly remembered the information Zhou Yexuan had shown her. It turned out that what her parents and brother had said were all true. All her previous struggles now seemed like a joke.
She really wanted to go back to the starting point, but looking at her bulging belly, she knew that nothing could go back.
Zhou Ruoyan thought about just taking the baby away and going back to apologize to her parents. However, when she was lying on the hospital bed, she found that she couldn't do it because this was her child after all.
At this time, Xia Yang also found him and expressed that he was willing to change and would mend his past mistakes.
Perhaps because he was soft-hearted, or perhaps because he was considering the child, he succumbed to reality and chose to forgive this time.
After the child was born, she thought everything would be fine. However, the man who had not been well behaved for long cheated on her again, and even became worse and did not hide his behavior at all.
Under the dual pressures of postpartum pain and her husband's infidelity, Zhou Ruoyan suffered from postpartum depression and began to hate herself.
As a brother, Zhou Yexuan certainly couldn't bear to watch his sister become like this. He had approached her privately, but Zhou Ruoyan had already lost all hope at that time, and she rejected her brother's kindness without hesitation.
Zhou Yexuan originally thought that as time went by, Zhou Ruoyan would slowly come to her senses and return to the Zhou family. During this period, he would secretly take care of her and the child.
Of course, he did not support his sister in a big way. After all, Xia Yang's purpose was money. If he knew about it, he would probably turn around and suck Zhou Ruoyan's blood.
However, he could indeed take care of Zhou Ruoyan and ensure that she had no worries about food and clothing, but he could not take care of her heart.
When Zhou Jiayan was two years old, Zhou Ruoyan's depression gradually worsened, and Xia Yang's behavior became more and more arrogant. He once again deceived a rich girl who was willing to "take over" him, and even threatened to divorce Zhou Ruoyan.
At that time, Zhou Yexuan thought that his sister would finally give up and leave the scumbag and go home, but he didn't expect that Zhou Ruoyan had indeed given up, but also had a mental breakdown.
When he realized that she was mentally ill and rushed into her house, he saw blood all over the floor. His once lively and lovely sister was lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the child would see and be scared, Zhou Ruoyan locked the child in the closet before committing suicide. Then he sent a message to Zhou Yexuan and resolutely went to his death.
Zhou Yexuan picked up the child who was close to shock from the closet. He will always remember that day. The child's face was flushed and he didn't even have the strength to cry. While he asked someone to take care of his sister's funeral, he sent the child to the hospital for help.
At this time, Zhou Qian and his wife also learned of their daughter's death and rushed over from China. They were filled with regret. They had not expected that their momentary "cruelness" would lead to such consequences. They could not accept the fact that the elderly were sending their young children away, and they collapsed immediately.
Zhou Yexuan usually handles his sister's funeral while taking care of his parents and children.
At the same time, he did not let Xia Yang go. Xia Yang's character was already worrying, and he set a trap and successfully sent him to prison for fraud. Although in Zhou Yexuan's opinion, this punishment was too light compared to Zhou Ruoyan's life.
However, we are now living in a society ruled by law. Zhou Ruoyan committed suicide, so there is no way Xia Yang could pay with his life.
Zhou Jiayan's life experience was not glorious. Zhou Yexuan thought that not many people knew about it. Instead of letting Zhou Jiayan's life experience be discussed by all kinds of people, it would be better to let the child be his child directly, so that the child can have a relatively normal childhood and a healthy family.
But now it seems that what happened back then still has an unknown impact on the child. Even though she is still young and doesn't remember what happened back then, some fear has already penetrated into her bones.
After listening to the whole story, Shen Qingqing let out a long sigh.
Zhou Ruoyan was such an unlucky girl. She paid such a heavy price for the only time in her life that she pursued love.
She always thought that Ms. Lin Chuyin was miserable, but she didn't expect that there was someone even more miserable here.
Although she met a scumbag father and a white lotus stepmother, at least Ms. Lin Chuyin stayed with her daughter until she was 16 years old and found a way out for Shen Qingqing. Although the scumbag father was a scumbag, he did not completely ignore her.
Zhou Jiayan seemed to have never been expected by his parents since he was born. Maybe even Zhou Ruoyan thought that everything would be better if he didn't have this child. As for that scumbag Xia Yang, he probably never cared about having a child.
Moreover, Zhou Jiayan's mother committed suicide in front of him.
Shen Qingqing couldn't imagine how a two-year-old child felt when witnessing his or her own mother committing suicide in front of him or her. Perhaps she should be thankful that a two-year-old child couldn't remember so many things, although it now seemed to have become an indelible shadow in Zhou Jiayan's heart.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but feel even more distressed.
It’s no wonder that a child who lost his biological mother at such a young age would yearn for maternal love so much.
She became Zhou Jiayan's mother by accident. Although she was not sure how long her marriage with Zhou Yexuan could last, she thought that while she was a mother, she could be better to her child.
After Zhou Yexuan finished telling the whole story, he sighed heavily, "Qingqing, I'm sorry. I concealed Yanyan's life experience from you before, and I didn't notice that children would be afraid of dark and enclosed spaces like cabinets. What happened today is essentially my fault."
Seeing Zhou Yexuan blaming himself, Shen Qingqing felt that it was not easy for him. Moreover, if she put herself in his shoes, she would not tell the child's life story to a person who seemed very unreliable, even though that person was herself.
Shen Qingqing sighed, patted Zhou Yexuan on the shoulder, and comforted him, "No one wants what happened today to happen. Fortunately, the child is fine. As parents, we can only pay more attention to the future. Yanyan should be waking up soon. Let's go back to see Yanyan. He will be scared if he wakes up and doesn't see familiar people."
After the examination, Zhou Jiayan was pushed into the ward.
When Shen Qingqing and Zhou Yexuan entered the ward, the room was very quiet, with only the sound of the even breathing of a child lying on the bed, his face still a little red.
Perhaps because the child has been away from the environment that made him feel uncomfortable, and with the doctor's treatment, the child's expression has gradually calmed down and he no longer feels as uncomfortable as before.
Shen Qingqing couldn't help but reach out her hand and stroke the child's cheek, which was tender and smooth. Who would have thought that he was so young and had already experienced so much.
And it is not easy to grow up to be so outstanding now.
The child was already sleeping restlessly, and was woken up by Shen Qingqing's touch.
He opened his eyes, which were watery because he had just woken up. When he saw Shen Qingqing standing by his side, he called out sweetly, "Mom."
Then he struggled to sit up. Shen Qingqing wanted him to continue resting, but the child shook his head and said, "I've had enough sleep and now I'm full of energy."
Shen Qingqing knew that it was a psychological problem rather than a physical problem, so she agreed without much hesitation.
After Zhou Jiayan sat up, he saw Zhou Yexuan standing at the other end of the bed. Oh no, he actually forgot about his father!
He gave Zhou Yexuan an embarrassed smile, "Dad, Yanyan didn't see you just now, you're here too."
Zhou Yexuan was still a little jealous that his son saw Shen Qingqing first when he woke up, but he knew that now was not the time to dwell on it, so he just reached out and gently pinched his chubby cheek, "You're already in the hospital, can't Daddy not come? Fortunately, you're fine."
Zhou Jiayan stretched out his hand and scratched his little head. "I don't know why I suddenly felt uncomfortable and fainted. I made mom and dad worry so much. I'm sorry."
Zhou Jiayan was not clear about it, but the two adults were very clear about it.
Of course, they don't intend to tell children that it is best for them to grow up without worries.
So Shen Qingqing reached out and rubbed Zhou Jiayan's furry head, and decided to put the blame on the production team. "Maybe Yanyan has been too busy recently, and the production team is not a good person. They don't even give us money to spend. Yanyan's nutrition can't keep up! However, the production team is not here tonight, can we have a big meal without being restricted by the production team!"
Zhou Jiayan wanted to retort that he was actually very happy recently and had eaten very well, but when he saw Shen Qingqing looking at her father with a sly look in her eyes, he shut up, and then followed Shen Qingqing in looking at Zhou Yexuan with sparkling eyes and hope.
Being looked at like this by his wife and children, how could Zhou Yexuan say "no"?
Moreover, he was extremely tired these past few days. Although his cooking skills were not bad, they were far inferior to those of a real chef.
Now that I have finally gotten away from the program crew, of course I have to treat my wife and children to a good meal.
He also smiled, "Of course, I'll arrange it right away."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and started ordering food, asking the restaurant to deliver the meal to the ward.
Considering that Zhou Jiayan was still ill, Zhou Yexuan chose a time-honored Cantonese restaurant. The dishes were light but delicious, and there was also tasty boat porridge.
So the family of three sat in the ward and ate the most sumptuous and delicious meal they had in a while, and Zhou Jiayan's belly was so full.
To be on the safe side, Zhou Jiayan had to stay in the hospital for one night for observation, so the two discussed the matter of staying by his bedside.
At the same time, because of such a big accident, Zhou Yexuan and Shen Qingqing are also considering discussing with the program team to withdraw directly. Although they understand that this matter has nothing to do with the program team in essence, it is always more prone to accidents when children are not with their parents.
Of course, before making a formal decision, they still have to seek Zhou Jiayan's opinion first.
Unexpectedly, the child shook his head and refused to leave. "Yanyan is fine, and Yanyan fainted by herself. Besides, Dad, you said that people should start and end. Since Yanyan promised the uncles and aunts from the program crew, how can she leave? And there are many friends here. I can't leave without saying goodbye to them."
However, what he is most reluctant to give up is that he can live an ordinary family life with his parents on the show. He knows that his parents are very busy, and if he goes back, he may not be able to be together with them every day.
Of course, Zhou Jiayan didn't intend to say this little thought directly, as it would put pressure on his parents. Zhou Jiayan also knew that they worked to make this family better.
Since the child said so, Zhou Yexuan and Shen Qingqing, as parents, could only respect their child's choice. And now the show was halfway through, it would be embarrassing to withdraw at the last minute.
The family of three chatted and laughed for about an hour and then finished their dinner. During the meal, they also discussed whether to go directly to kindergarten or go home first the next day.
For a lazy person like Shen Qingqing, she naturally didn't want to go home first. After all, it meant she had to get up earlier. If they went directly to the kindergarten, they would have to bring Zhou Jiayan and their own luggage.
And this arduous task fell on Zhou Yexuan.
Zhou Yexuan is now very self-conscious. He is too lazy to argue with Shen Qingqing and directly takes over the task.
Just when he packed up the lunch box and threw it into the trash can and was about to return to his current "home", he received an unexpected call.
His parents actually knew about Zhou Jiayan's hospitalization and were on their way. :,,
