Yuan Jiang's scrutinizing gaze fell on Shen Hanyang, and she pondered deeply.
Although the second son of the Shen family has countless romantic entanglements, she is confident that she can win over Shen Hanyang, this playboy. At that time, the entertainment resources in his hands will be under her control.
With a goal in mind, Yuan Jiang turned her gaze away and looked at the weak Jiang Zhujun.
"Zhujun, don't worry. You must take care of your health first. When Yuan Zhiling brings Jiang Jiang back, you can't afford to collapse." Qin Jin'er tenderly rubbed Jiang Zhujun's head. They had grown up together since childhood and were as close as sisters. Seeing her good sister like this now, her heart was breaking.
Chen Yujin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Zhujun, I have sent another group of people to search for her. I expect we will have results soon."
"Thank you, Brother Shen." Jiang Zhujun wiped away the tears with her long fingers, and coughed a few times, unable to catch her breath.
Yuan Jiang's eyes were icy, and she scoffed inwardly. He said he treated her like his own daughter, but wasn't he just trying to find his real daughter?
It would be best if she died out there and could never be found, then the Jiang family would belong to her.
Qin Jin'er quickly patted Jiang Zhujun's back to calm her down, then glanced at the silent Yuan Jiang, a sense of dissatisfaction rising in her heart.
Shen Hanting and Shen Hanyang, who had been watching their mother's every move, exchanged a glance.
Shen Hanyang smiled knowingly, then clicked his tongue and declared, "Godmother, don't worry. I've had every artist in the company forward the ad for Jiang Jiang. We'll hear from you sooner or later."
"Hmm." Shen Hanting slightly curled his fingers and said calmly, "I also sent people to search. We've waited all these years. Now we live in the internet age, and information flows freely. What you need to do now is relax and wait for your sister and godfather to come home."
Jiang Zhujun's eyes were filled with tears, her beautiful face was pale and covered in tears, and she looked like she was about to collapse: "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you. As long as my daughter can come back, I will do anything."
Yuan Jiang silently rolled her eyes, feeling only annoyed by what she heard. She couldn't help but lean over and take Jiang Zhujun's arm, sweetly pleading, "Mom, don't bring up sad things anymore. Didn't you say you were going to introduce me to Brother Chen and his friends today..."
Jiang Zhujun's expression hardened, and a strange look appeared on her pale and beautiful face. At her age and in her current physical condition, she had no mind to spend time on her adopted daughter, nor did she want to figure out her adopted daughter's intentions.
However, her adopted daughter's words were really inappropriate, which inevitably made her frown uncomfortably.
Qin Jin'er, with her sharp eyes, cursed inwardly that her adopted daughter was truly blind! How could she say such a thing at this moment? No wonder Zhu Jun rarely brought her adopted daughter to visit her in previous years!
With a heavy sigh, she gripped Jiang Zhujun's hand tightly, glanced around but didn't see Shen Zhao, and asked suspiciously, "Zhujun, Zhao Bao liked you the most when he was little, why isn't he coming down yet? Is he secretly sleeping in?"
Shen Zhao was a premature baby with congenital malformation and weak heart and lungs, making him a sickly child. As a child, he loved to cling to the gentle and beautiful Jiang Zhujun, and Jiang Zhujun, in turn, loved Shen Zhao dearly as well.
After losing her daughter, Jiang Zhujun was devastated and never recovered. She rarely visited the Shen family and spent her days in tears.
This mention briefly diverted Jiang Zhujun's attention. She glanced around and murmured, "It really is true. It's been so long since I've seen Zhao Bao. I wonder how he's doing these days?"
Just then, a light cough came from the stairwell. He was wearing a simple white shirt and casual trousers, his jet-black hair was hanging down casually, and his peach blossom eyes were drooping listlessly, indicating that he was not in good condition.
Yu Qiao followed closely behind Shen Zhao, nervously watching him go down the stairs, afraid that he would stumble and fall flat on his face if he coughed. She even thoughtfully said, "Young Master, be careful, the steps."
"Another step!"
Shen Zhao's head ached from her noise. He turned to glare at her and said, "I'm not blind!"
"Oh." Yu Qiao shut up reluctantly.
Shen Zhao coughed lightly twice, pressing her long, white fingers to her chest, and slowly walked to the front of the crowd. Her slender body was as delicate as a willow in the wind, and her beautiful face, frail and pitiful, was stunningly beautiful.
His gaze first settled on Jiang Zhujun, but under Qin Jin'er's frantic prompting, he lowered his eyelids and called out in a hoarse voice, "Godmother."
"Zhao Bao is so big already?" Jiang Zhujun was pleasantly surprised and quickly got up to help him, but suddenly her vision went black, she staggered, and fell backward as if powerless.
"Zhu Jun!" Qin Jin'er hurriedly got up.
Shen Yujin frowned and hurried forward to support him.
Shen Hanting and Shen Hanyang also hurriedly stood up.
Yuan Jiang sneered. It would be best if she fell and was half-dead, so she wouldn't have the mind to look for her missing biological daughter.
Suddenly,
A petite figure suddenly rushed out from behind Shen Zhao.
A snap.
Yu Qiao gripped Jiang Zhujun's wrist, a hint of surprise appearing on her expressionless face. She looked up at Jiang Zhujun apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, I used too much force."
Are you alright?
Jiang Zhujun's vision blurred for a moment, and she gasped for breath. She recognized the voice and slowly opened her eyes to look at the girl who was supporting her.
A patch of black and white overlapped back and forth; she blinked hard, trying to see clearly.
For no apparent reason, my heart suddenly twitched twice. What happened?
Yuan Jiang's heart skipped a beat. She pushed forward, knocking Yu Qiao aside, and helped Jiang Zhujun up, asking anxiously, "Mom, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Zhujun rubbed her eyes with her long fingers, her vision gradually clearing. "Where's the girl who helped me up just now?"
Yuan Jiang's face darkened.
Caught off guard by the sudden bump, Yu Qiao stumbled and nearly fell. Shen Zhao pursed his lips, pressed down on her shoulder, and coldly looked at Yuan Jiang with his delicate and frail face: "Is this the adopted daughter of the Jiang family?"
"..." Yuan Jiang hated the term "adopted daughter" the most, as it was a reminder that she was just an adopted daughter, not her biological daughter!
Yuan Jiang gritted her teeth, lowered her head slightly, and her eyes were filled with suppressed hatred and mockery.
As long as Jiang Zhujun can't find her daughter and dies sooner, then the Jiang family will be Zhu Jiang's possession!
Her original name was Zhu Jiang, but after being adopted by Yuan Zhiling, she changed her name to Yuan Jiang. Yuan Jiang Yuan Jiang, how ridiculous! Even the name she was given was just a substitute for her biological daughter!
Those two old geezers are really selfish!
“This is my adopted daughter, Yuan Jiang,” Jiang Zhujun introduced, her eyes darting anxiously to Shen Zhao’s back, staring at a glimpse of her skirt: “Zhao Bao, where’s that girl? I’d like to thank her, is that alright?”
It was so strange. Jiang Zhujun felt her breathing becoming rapid, as if she couldn't catch her breath, and her heart was beating faster.
Shen Zhao's gaze slid down to Jiang Zhujun's anxious face, then turned his head to stare at Yuan Jiang's fierce and angry eyes. He remained silent for a moment, then stood up straight, his tall figure completely blocking Yu Qiao behind him.
“Your adopted daughter just pushed my maid. Please make her apologize to my maid for her rude and uncivilized behavior.”
What! ?
They actually want her to apologize to a maid?!?
Has the youngest daughter of the Shen family lost her mind? Even if she's an adopted daughter, she's still the rightful adopted daughter of the Jiang family!
Yuan Jiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Qin Jin'er did not stop them. She slowly sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and Shen Yujin did not say anything. He gave Shen Hanting and Shen Hanyang a wink, and they all sat quietly to watch the show.
"Young Master." Yu Qiao tugged at Shen Zhao's clothes, poked her head out from behind him, and stared at him with her big, bright eyes.
Shen Zhao thought she was going to say no, so he frowned and said in a tone that was almost commanding, "You are my maid, how can anyone bully you? This rude lady must apologize!"
"Oh." Yu Qiao awkwardly pulled her head back, sighed dejectedly, and felt a pain in her arm from the bump.
Damn it, I really want to fight back!
Who wants a cheap apology?! She wants to fight back!!
"Yuan Jiang, apologize." Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhujun turned to look at Yuan Jiang in surprise, only to witness Yuan Jiang's ferocious expression. She instantly understood and looked at her with disappointment.
"Mom!" Yuan Jiang said, feigning displeasure, and clung to Jiang Zhujun's arm, "I didn't do it on purpose."
"I was in a hurry and accidentally bumped into her. She's just a maid, she's not that precious."
