When Zhou Yexuan returned home, he saw Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan had already arrived home, and their "trophies" of the day were placed in the living room.

Because they would not be staying here for a few days, they did not need to hang their clothes in the closet, but instead packed them into boxes.

Since Zhou Jiayan already had rich experience, he was entrusted by Shen Qingqing to undertake this important "task".

The child worked very seriously and folded the clothes in a very professional manner.

As a mother, Shen Qingqing was lying on the sofa with her legs crossed. There were some cut fruits beside her and she was eating them piece by piece with a fork.

Of course, she has not completely forgotten her responsibilities as a "mother" and would still feed the hard-working child a bite of watermelon or a grape from time to time, and at this time Zhou Jiayan would squint her eyes happily.

Seeing his silly son enjoying being ordered around like this by Shen Qingqing, Zhou Yexuan felt a surge of sympathy in his heart and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was such a little fool, being sold and still helping to count money.

However, when he saw that most of the new clothes packed by the little fool were his own, the only other clothes were Shen Qingqing's clothes, and he didn't have any of his own, Zhou Yexuan suddenly felt very complicated.

It seemed that he was the dumbest fool of all, working hard outside all day, only to return home with nothing.

He was a little suffocated for a moment, and wanted to say something. However, he told himself to be reserved. Anyway, he had everything he needed, and his relationship with Shen Qingqing had not reached that stage at all. It was normal for Shen Qingqing not to remember to buy him a gift.

Just when he was in a dilemma, he saw Zhou Jiayan's eyes light up as if he had thought of something. He ran to Zhou Yexuan, hugged Zhou Yexuan's thigh and said, "Dad, Mom and I bought a gift for you."

Zhou Yexuan felt that his previously silent heart suddenly came alive, and he asked with an expectant expression on his face, "Yanyan, where is the gift?"

At this time, Shen Qingqing also heard the conversation between the father and son. She sat up from the sofa and took out one bag after another from the pile of shopping bags not far away...

Are there so many? Zhou Yexuan felt a tingling sensation in her head. Sure enough, Qingqing and the others still remembered her. Did Qingqing not have no feelings for her at all?

Shen Qingqing felt a little nervous when she took out the shopping bag. She didn't think it was a big deal when she was buying, but now she felt a little embarrassed. Indeed, who would give a dozen or so similar things as gifts?

But now that it has come to this, Shen Qingqing can only bite the bullet and take out the gift.

So Zhou Yexuan soon saw more than a dozen ties of different colors placed in front of him. For a moment he stood there in a daze, his mood indescribable.

Shen Qingqing laughed awkwardly and explained, "It's like this, because I don't know your clothing size and shoe size, so after thinking about it, I bought you ties in various colors, so it's easier for you to match your clothes."

Zhou Yexuan looked down at the row of ties in the same colors as the rainbow. He could only comfort himself and began to brainwash himself that what Shen Qingqing said made sense.

No matter what, this is a big breakthrough. At least Shen Qingqing remembered to buy him a gift.

But in the end he couldn't help but said to Shen Qingqing, "Qingqing, next time you can just ask me what size I wear, I don't mind telling you."

Shen Qingqing's smile froze instantly. Why was this guy still being so arrogant? Was he serious?

But because there were children around, she was still very polite and said, "Next time for sure!"

After sorting out his "gift", Zhou Yexuan saw the ruby ​​necklace on the coffee table.

He was a little surprised. This ruby ​​necklace looked very valuable. Logically, Shen Qingqing must have used his card to pay, but why didn't he receive any notification of the large payment?

Could it be that Shen Qingqing saw that the price was too high and swiped her own card? This is not a good sign.

Shen Qingqing saw Zhou Yexuan's eyes and knew what he was wondering about.

In fact, she was also confused, so she said to Zhou Yexuan, "Do you know how much I paid for this necklace?"

Zhou Yexuan estimated the price based on the market price, "Ten million?"

However, Shen Qingqing shook her head, stretched out her hand, and made a "5".

Zhou Yexuan continued to guess, "Five million?"

However, Shen Qingqing continued to shake her head and told the real price of the necklace, "It's 50,000."

Even the knowledgeable Zhou Yexuan was a little surprised, "Are you sure you haven't been cheated?"

As he spoke, he reached out, picked up the necklace, and began to look at it carefully.

Although he is not a jewelry appraiser, he believes that he has an eye for appreciating jewelry after being exposed to it for many years.

However, after Zhou Yexuan looked at it carefully, there was still nothing wrong with the necklace. Shen Qingqing shrugged and said, "Strange, isn't it? I also find it strange. Is that old man some wealthy man who wants to do charity, giving away jewelry everywhere? But he wouldn't do charity on me. Do I look poor?"

Then Zhou Yexuan asked Shen Qingqing in detail about the old man's appearance, and an idea emerged in his mind.

Zhou Yexuan did not keep the secret and said directly, "Qingqing, I have a bold guess that the man might be your grandfather."

Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment.

As for her grandfather, after Shen Qingqing finished reading the information, she no longer had any hope for him.

He is just an old-fashioned man. Since he has never been lenient towards his own daughter, how can Shen Qingqing expect him to be kind to her?

She didn't think that a granddaughter like her who had never been with him could compare to Lin Chuyin, the daughter he had raised since childhood.

What happened to that old man all of a sudden? Is there some conspiracy?

Are they trying to frame her as a liar or slander her as a thief?

When Zhou Yexuan saw the various changes in Shen Qingqing's expression, he knew that she must have had a lot of imagination.

He coughed and smiled to comfort her, "Qingqing, from what I know, the old man is old-fashioned, but he is very upright. You don't have to worry about him harming you. What's more, with me here, no one dares to touch you."

Zhou Yexuan's eyes were so sincere that Shen Qingqing, who had never trusted men, couldn't help but feel that Zhou Yexuan was solid and reliable. If they were a real couple, Zhou Yexuan would be a very good husband.

At this time, the obedient child beside him also spoke up, "Mom, not only will Dad protect you, but Yanyan will protect you too."

Shen Qingqing felt very relieved listening to what the father and son said. Yes, she is not alone now, and there will be someone to deal with it with her no matter how big the problem is.

The next day, Zhou Yexuan was still working hard, while Shen Qingqing took the children to the amusement park to have fun for the whole day and took various photos.

Because they were abroad, Shen Qingqing did not deliberately disguise herself and her child, but she was still recognized by the local Chinese.

As a "business benchmark" among celebrities, Shen Qingqing naturally agreed to their request for a photo with her children.

After these photos were posted online, Shen Qingqing and her friends were once again trending on the Internet. It was then that netizens discovered that Shen Qingqing and her friends had actually traveled abroad and taken their children to an amusement park.

[Did Shen Qingqing keep her word? I remember she promised Yanyan during the live broadcast that she would take him to theme parks all over the world, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.]

[Wow, I want to go too. This poor worker is crying while sitting at his workstation. The amusement park is secondary. I want to run into Yanyan by chance.]

[Yanyan must be extremely happy right now. I saw his little mouth never closed when I saw his photos taken by passers-by.]

Compared to Shen Qingqing's ease, Shen Linyan's life during this period can be described as extremely uncomfortable.

Because Tan Qisi is back.

She looked at Tan Qisi, who was sitting opposite her with the aura of a strong woman, and felt very unhappy.

She met Tan Qisi by chance at the gate of Liang Tianyi's kindergarten. Before that, she didn't know that the child's biological mother had returned.

Originally, she thought that Tan Qisi came to see the child secretly, but when she asked, she found out that Tan Qisi had contacted Liang Hongyu a few days ago, and Liang Hongyu also knew that she came to pick up the child today.

Liang Hongyu didn't tell her all of this. If she hadn't suddenly wanted to be a good mother and pick up Liang Tianyi today, she might have been kept in the dark from beginning to end.

Thinking of this, Shen Linyan felt even more unhappy.

Tan Qisi was also looking at Shen Linyan. Shen Linyan looked weak and gentle, but when she saw the look in Shen Linyan's eyes, she knew that this woman was a ruthless person.

In the workplace, Tan Qisi actually admires such ambitious and driven people, but she doesn't want a woman to use this kind of ambition and drive on her son.

In fact, she had returned to China two days ago and made an appointment to meet Liang Hongyu.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Liang Hongyu seemed even more cold-blooded and meticulous than before.

If Liang Hongyu used to look at her with tenderness, now he looks at her with indifference.

As you can imagine, her conversation with Liang Hongyu was not smooth, and Liang Hongyu even didn't want the child to see her. It was only after she mentioned that a case would pass through their hands that Liang Hongyu agreed to let her go to the kindergarten to pick up Liang Tianyi.

However, this result made Tan Qisi feel even more ominous. This man might no longer have normal human emotions and only has interests in his heart.

Tan Qisi didn't expect to meet Shen Linyan here, but meeting her now is not entirely a bad thing. This Miss Shen seems to be very thoughtful, and she can just borrow some strength from her.

She smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Shen. I didn't expect to see you here."

Shen Linyan has always been good at pretending, especially at this time, even if she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she still showed a gentle smile, "Ms. Tan, I have heard of your name for a long time. Xiaoyi is so cute and smart. I have always wondered how outstanding Miss Tan would be."

Hearing Shen Linyan's compliment, Tan Qisi thought to herself, as expected, this Miss Shen is indeed the kind of person who is good at networking and has clear goals. It's a pity that such a person does not have much sincerity.

Tan Qisi didn't want to play along with Shen Linyan for too long, so she didn't follow her words and answered directly, "Ms. Shen, actually I came back this time for Xiaoyi. I missed several years of his childhood because of work, and I really want to make it up to him. I am now applying to the headquarters to transfer back to China, and the problem should not be too big, so I may bother you and Hongyu often in the next few days."

After hearing what Tan Qisi said, Shen Linyan's mind changed drastically. What was going on? Tan Qisi was actually going back to China? And she was going to contact Xiaoyi frequently?

She had never asked about Liang Hongyu and Tan Qisi, but she knew everything about their past in private. She knew that Liang Hongyu and Tan Qisi had known each other since middle school and got married successfully after graduating from college, from school uniforms to wedding dresses.

Shen Linyan knew that the emotional foundation between these two people was definitely much stronger than that between her and Liang Hongyu, not to mention that they had a child. If they had more contact in the future, there was no guarantee that their old love would not rekindle.

For a moment, Shen Linyan's inner alarm bells rang.

She tried her best to remain calm, a smile appeared on her lips, and she pretended to be generous and said, "Xiaoyi is your son. Of course you have the right to come and see Xiaoyi. I welcome you too. I am also very happy that Xiaoyi can be loved by his biological mother."

Tan Qisi thought that Shen Linyan was really good at pretending, but it was a pity that the flicker in her eyes still revealed her panic, and this was the opportunity she had been waiting for.

After chatting with Shen Linyan about some daily interesting things about children, she casually said, "Actually, what I want to do most is to raise Xiaoyi by myself. You know, as a mother, I always want to see my child by my side. If the child is with me, I am afraid I will not return to China. You know, there are more opportunities abroad in our industry."

"It's a pity that my financial ability was not as good as the Liang family's before, so I didn't win the custody of Xiaoyi. Now my job is stable, and I can provide Xiaoyi with a good life, but Hongyu is still unwilling to let go. I have no choice but to bother you more in the future."

Tan Qisi's words made Shen Linyan's eyes light up instantly. It turned out that Tan Qisi wanted the custody of Xiaoyi.

If she took the child away, then none of the problems she was worried about would exist.

Although Liang Hongyu now values ​​Liang Tianyi as his successor, that is also because he only has this one child and has a lot of contact with him.

If Tan Qisi took the child away, or even took him abroad, according to Liang Hongyu's work schedule, he would definitely not have much time to see the child, and gradually the so-called feelings would fade.

And although Liang Hongyu has been sterilized now, sterilization for men is reversible. As long as time goes by, he will also want to have a child of his own, and then she will have her own biological child...

The more Shen Linyan thought about it, the more excited she became. When she looked at Tan Qisi, she no longer felt that Tan Qisi was the person who brought her endless trouble. As long as she acted properly, she could get everything she wanted through Tan Qisi.

Thinking of this, Shen Linyan showed her first sincere smile of the day, "Miss Tan, Xiaoyi will be out of school soon, let's go pick him up now. If you want, you can take the child home tonight. I'll talk to Hongyu on your behalf."

Tan Qisi knew that she had successfully aroused Shen Linyan's desire. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen. Let's go pick up Xiaoyi now."

Recently, Liang Tianyi is not so excited to go home after school. You know, in the past he couldn't wait to go home and be with his mother.

Recently, he always felt that his mother was weird, his father was weird, and the whole atmosphere at home was weird. Therefore, he would rather spend less time at home.

Therefore, he is now the last one in his class to leave school.

The school bell rang, and he sat on his little bench, looked out the window, and sighed.

It was time to go home from school again and he had to go home again.

Liang Tianyi slowly packed his schoolbag and began to walk towards the kindergarten gate. However, when he arrived at the door, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

That is the mother that can only be seen in photo albums and videos!

Liang Tianyi was a little bit unbelievable, and stood there in a daze until a woman's voice sounded not far away, "Xiaoyi, mom is here."

After hearing this, little Liang Tianyi could no longer hold back. He immediately ran over and threw himself into Tan Qisi's arms, muttering, "Mom, you're here to see Xiaoyi."

Tan Qisi also hugged her son tightly in her arms. This was the child she had been thinking about day and night.

Shen Linyan, who was standing aside, looked at the mother and son hugging each other tightly but did not feel it was touching at all. She just felt cold in her heart.

See, it turns out that if a child is not your own, you can’t raise him well. Once he sees his biological mother, he can no longer see his stepmother who has been with him for so long.

Thinking of this, Shen Linyan became more determined to send Liang Tianyi away.

At this time, Tan Qisi and her son finally hugged each other enough and separated.

Liang Tianyi saw Shen Linyan next to him. Oops, he seemed to have forgotten about this mother.

Thinking of this, he smiled embarrassedly and called out to Shen Linyan sweetly, "Sorry, Mom, I was so excited just now that I didn't see you."

Perhaps because she had already made up her mind to send Liang Tianyi away, Shen Linyan was not very angry at this time. Instead, she showed a particularly gentle smile, "Xiaoyi, it's okay. I know you and your mother haven't seen each other for a long time. By the way, you can go back with your mother tonight. I will tell your father."

After hearing the news, Liang Tianyi nodded happily.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Tan Qisi no longer intends to play along with Shen Linyan. She wants to spend a happy mother-son time with her son.

Shen Linyan no longer wanted to please Liang Tianyi, so they parted ways at the school gate. Tan Qisi took the children to have a big meal, while Shen Linyan went straight back to the Liang family.

Liang Hongyu came home much earlier today than before. As soon as he got home, he found that the children, who should have finished school, were not at home.

He shouted angrily, "Where's Xiaoyi? Why isn't he at home?"

Shen Linyan explained in a low voice with an innocent look on her face, "Hongyu, Sister Tan also went to pick up the child today. She is the child's biological mother. She said that she hasn't seen the child for a long time and wanted to take the child to stay overnight. How could I object? And she said you knew that she was going to pick up the child..."

Liang Hongyu knew that Tan Qisi went to the kindergarten to pick up her child, but she didn't know that she actually planned to take the child to stay at her place for one night.

He remembered that when they met yesterday, Tan Qisi was more arrogant than usual, and he felt a headache and angry.

He knew that Tan Qisi was very capable, otherwise he would not have chosen her to marry her and give birth to an excellent heir with her.

But even though he knew that Tan Qisi was very outstanding, he never thought that in just a few years, Tan Qisi would be able to climb to her current position and even threaten him.

Shen Linyan in front of him still had an innocent expression, but Liang Hongyu knew that she must have done it on purpose, after all, she probably wanted to have her own child. If it were in the past, Liang Hongyu would probably scold Shen Linyan loudly, telling her not to think too much and to raise Liang Tianyi well, but now he was uncertain when he thought of Tan Qisi's strength.

Tan Qisi is now fully grown, and the law naturally favors the mother. If they really fight for custody again...

And the most important thing is the industry and position that Tan Qisi is in now, which might really be a choke point for him.

When Shen Linyan saw Liang Hongyu lost in thought, her heart moved slightly. Sure enough, Liang Hongyu was no longer as determined as before.

She continued boldly, "Children are naturally closer to their biological mothers. If Sister Tan often spends time with Xiaoyi, I, as a stepmother, have no confidence that I can surpass Sister Tan in Xiaoyi's heart."

Shen Linyan's words were not only about herself, but also a reminder to Liang Hongyu that if Tan Qisi had too much contact with children, the children would easily become alienated.

He only had two choices: either to forbid Tan Qisi from seeing Liang Tianyi, or to have a new child that was completely his own.

After hearing what Shen Linyan said, Liang Hongyu did not refute directly this time. Instead, he glanced at Shen Linyan and went straight into the study. He had to think carefully about Tan Qisi's return.

Shen Linyan looked at her husband's back and felt a little excited. She knew that her husband was moved.

On Saturday, Zhou Yexuan finally finished all the work at hand, and then he took Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan to a cemetery in the suburbs.

The cemetery has a very good environment, pleasant scenery and quiet surroundings. It is obviously a cemetery for the rich.

No matter how good the environment here is, people buried underground cannot feel it.

Zhou Jiayan was wearing a black suit today and holding a bunch of daisies in his hands. Shen Qingqing and Zhou Yexuan were also dressed in black clothes and black skirts.

The child was still a little confused about cemeteries. He didn't quite understand what it meant to be buried in a cemetery after death. However, seeing his parents both had serious faces, he was also infected by the atmosphere and acted serious.

Soon they arrived at Zhou Ruoyan's grave. The surrounding environment was cleaned very cleanly, with only a few fallen leaves occasionally.

The tombstone is made of gray-white marble and looks very clean. There is also a black-and-white photo of Zhou Ruoyan on the tombstone. The girl in the photo is smiling like a flower, cheerful and beautiful.

This photo was taken during the summer vacation when Zhou Ruoyan was 18 years old. At that time, she was looking forward to the colorful university life that was about to come.

Zhou Jiayan looked at the tombstone with a more serious expression. He felt a sense of familiarity and excitement in his heart, as if he should have come here a long time ago.

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Yexuan and Shen Qingqing, "This aunt Yanyan feels so familiar."

Zhou Yexuan and Shen Qingqing have not told Zhou Jiayan the truth yet. Instead of letting him know those bad pasts, it is better to let him grow up happily. Anyway, Yanyan is a child of the Zhou family, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

As for when they grow up, we will talk about it when they grow up. By then, the children will be mentally mature and have the right to choose whether to know or not.

However, Zhou Yexuan did not intend to hide Zhou Ruoyan's identity from the child. He touched the child's head and explained, "Yanyan, this girl is Dad's biological sister and grandpa and grandma's daughter. She died early due to an accident, so grandpa and grandma are so sad."

After listening to Zhou Yexuan's explanation, Zhou Jiayan looked at the tombstone again and nodded, "Then should I call this Aunt Yanyan Aunt?"

Shen Qingqing squatted down, nodded, and fully praised the child for reacting so quickly, "Yanyan is really smart. She reacted so quickly and figured out what to call. Then go and give flowers to your aunt."

At the same time, she apologized to Zhou Ruoyan in her heart. She believed that as a mother, she should be able to understand that they did not tell Yanyan the truth, but let Yanyan call her aunt.

Zhou Jiayan nodded obediently, then placed the yellow daisy in her arms in front of Zhou Ruoyan's tombstone, and said in a baby voice, "Aunt, you should be happy in the underworld. Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom, Yanyan will take good care of them. Although I'm still a little young, I will definitely be able to take good care of them when I grow up, so you don't have to worry."

Listening to the child's innocent words, Shen Qingqing looked at the girl on the tombstone. She wondered if people really had souls after death. If she could see, she would be very relieved to see Zhou Jiayan growing up so well-behaved and sensible.

At this moment, she thought of her mother Lin Chuyin again. She thought that after she returned this time, she would also give Lin Chuyin a bouquet of flowers and let her see herself and know that she was living a good life now.

After so many inexplicable emotional shocks, Shen Qingqing already had new guesses about herself.

She once again called upon the long-missing system.

"Little system, long time no see. I think I have guessed why I am here. I am not traveling through time, but I am coming back."!
