Chapter 29 Chapter 29
The kids didn't think there was anything wrong with their actions. Seeing that their aunt was still confused, they took the initiative to ask, "Aunt, do you want to feed me?"
The onlookers laughed even louder. Lin Shengxi, enjoying the fun, said, "Hey, look how exhausted your aunt is."
After the initial shock, Yue Qing realized what had happened. She didn't even care who had lifted the tablecloth. She just pressed her face against the carpet and refused to be fed by the cub.
Let it be destroyed, and no one shall live.
"Can't get up?" Director Tan said, stifling a laugh. "The wardrobe department is looking everywhere for clothes."
"I can't get up." Yue Qing said in despair. "How much is this dress? I'll buy it."
Put it on first, and pick up the face skin she dropped on the ground.
That being said, with so many people around him, it would be more embarrassing to continue lying down than to stand up. Yue Qing slowly got up with the mentality that the worst thing had already happened, so what was there to be unacceptable.
She also took out the lunch boxes and cakes that the three children had given her and placed them on the small table next to them. She glanced at them one by one and said, "Sit down."
Although they felt that they were doing a good thing, the kids didn't know why their aunt looked a little angry.
"It's bad." Little Le'an lowered his head and whispered to his brother, "We made our aunt lose her."
This time, Yue Qing didn't indulge their open whispering behavior. He said expressionlessly, "Do you think you're talking quietly?"
The brother stuffed a mouthful of rice into his sister's mouth and said, "Eat. Eat more and your brain will grow."
Lin Shengxi leaned against the table and raised an eyebrow: "The tone of this is somewhat like a personal vendetta."
It's just a personal revenge!
Yueqing also buried his face in the lunch box, thinking with some resentment.
Even kindness won’t work!
"By the way, aren't you here to see the two kids?" Director Tan recalled something important. "The kids are here."
Yue Qing knew that Lin Shengxi and Lin Jian were very concerned about the two kids, so he didn't intend to interfere. He was concentrating on eating his meal.
The other two cubs, however, looked up curiously: "Hmm?"
His mouth was full and he couldn't speak clearly: "What's wrong, Lin Shushu?"
"Nothing." Lin Shengxi leaned over and imitated her tone, "Lin Xixi stopped by to see if you were having fun. There's another Xixi as well."
The other Xuxu hadn't spoken since he lifted the tablecloth, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh! It's Black Face Xuxu!" Meibao still remembers this uncle. When her aunt was taking pictures that day, this uncle was in the car and ate her cookies.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing's escape paused slightly. He turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly froze.
When filming, she didn't see who was sitting in the car. She only heard the children say that there was an uncle inside, but she didn't take it to heart.
She felt that this person looked familiar because she had met him in a coffee shop a few days ago.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but his clothes and appearance were very similar to that day, even his height and body shape were almost exactly the same. On that day, he even laughed when he heard what the two children said.
There are no more than three coincidences in the world. If there is more, it is intentional.
It wouldn't be strange if it was Lin Shengxi's friend who came to play, but when the incident happened a few days ago, Lin Shengxi was not on the set, and this person came by himself.
Including today, this is the third time.
Thinking of this, Yue Qing turned around and looked at the man in front of him seriously.
He was wrapped up more tightly than Cui Shuo usually was when he was on and off the set. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a superstar. Even when he was talking to the crew, he didn't take off his mask.
Even the eyes behind the sunglasses could not be seen clearly.
Ke Leqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
Those who are with Lin Shengxi and care about the two children...
"What's your name, sir?" she asked.
Jiang then withdrew his gaze from the two children and saw her inquiring eyes.
Through observation over this period of time, this woman must be smart and very careful in some aspects, so we must be careful in dealing with her. Now is not the time to reveal my identity.
"Thanks," he said.
This was his mother's surname, which he had been using before returning to the Jiang family.
The last name was Xie. Yue Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not completely relieved. Instead, he said, "Mr. Xie, I think I saw you on the set a few days ago."
"Yeah." Jiang nodded. "I was passing by on something and saw three kids squatting in the corner plotting something, so I stayed a little longer."
He did not hide the fact that he heard that day, but this also made Yue Qing more trusting.
If he really concealed it, then his purpose is hard to say.
Jiang Suisui added, "I happened to record their call. If you need anything, you can contact me."
That was really a noble person. In order for Xiao Lanxu to get away from Lan Qian smoothly, we need more evidence.
"That's great." She took out her phone. "Can I add your contact information? I really need this recording. Can you send me a copy?"
Jiang nodded, but the moment he touched his phone, he immediately realized: "My phone is out of battery. I can send it to Lin Shengxi."
Of course, I can't give her my work number, otherwise my identity will be exposed.
Private number...it's even more impossible to give it to me.
Lin Shengxi thought of the wholesaler's profile picture and couldn't stop smiling: "Yes, yes, I'll just forward it to you when the time comes."
"Okay then." Yue Qing said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
The filming of the scenes with the two children has been completed today, and there is nothing to do after dinner. Director Tan saw that Yue Qing was so sleepy that she could fall asleep on the set, so he asked her to rest more tonight and stop working on those pictures.
"These two kids are going to quit the group in a couple of days," Director Tan said. "Since you know each other, why don't you talk more? You don't even have a place to stay on this messy set."
Lin Shengxi wanted to give Jiang Sui some space to spend time with the two children, so he said, "That's perfect. Let's go out and talk. Isn't there a coffee shop outside?"
The two kids really like playing with older kids like Lin Shengxi, and they look at their aunt expectantly.
Yue Qing nodded: "Go if you want to."
"Okay!"
Lin Shengxi walked in front with three people, Jiang Sui followed not far behind, and Yueqing walked at the end.
Just when she was about to thank Mr. Jiang for being her friend, she found that Brother Jiang had sent her many WeChat messages, saying that he had delivered all the clothes she needed to buy, and she could go out and get them.
Just as I replied to the message, I heard the man in front of me’s phone ring.
Yue Qing subconsciously looked up and saw the other party lowering his eyes to look at his phone and clicking a few times casually.
Then, her phone vibrated with a message.
"?"
Is it such a coincidence?
Yue Qing looked down and saw that it was Brother Jiang who said that the things were left with Sister Wang.
She quickly typed two words: "Thank you."
I looked up again, but this time I didn't hear the other person's phone ringing.
What a coincidence.
Yes, this person doesn't look like a wholesaler at all.
No, didn’t he say his phone was out of battery???
So he just doesn’t want to add me on WeChat.
Yue Qing laughed. She was already the aunt of two children. What else could she do to him?
If you don’t want to add it, then don’t add it.
Little did he know that at this moment Jiang Sui put his cell phone, which was set to vibrate, back into his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not too lively here, and there's nothing fun to do. Fortunately, coffee shops are now used by film crews. They have air conditioning, sofas, and are great places to talk.
Yue Qing did not disturb these people. She sat at the edge and listened to Lin Shengxi perform magic for the three kids while looking through the big plastic bag brought by Sister Wang.
It was indeed wholesale, without even a packaging bag. It was just two oversized black plastic bags, plain and simple. If I hadn't opened them, I would have thought they were two bags of garbage.
Fortunately, the quality of the items inside is guaranteed.
Seeing that it was still early, Yue Qing took out two pieces of clothes and was stunned when he touched the texture of the clothes.
When Brother Jiang gave her photos to choose styles, she thought every picture had good texture, but considering that the pictures were for reference only, she did not have excessive expectations.
But the clothes I'm holding now are incredibly fine, with meticulous stitching, workmanship, and down filling. They drape beautifully and wrinkle-free. Could it have been ironed before I got them? Are wholesalers that thoughtful?
She wanted to see what the clothes were made of, so she looked for the tag, but she didn't see any tag inside the clothes, not even the brand logo on the back of the neck.
"?"
If clothes are made like this, they will not be qualified even if they are wholesaled, right?
Yue Qing took out his phone and sent a message to Brother Jiang: "Brother Jiang, how much are these clothes?"
The connected sofas were already occupied by Lin Shengxi and his three children, while Yue Qing and Jiang Sui each sat on a small sofa.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Sui started playing with his phone again, his finger pausing on the screen for a long time without pressing anything.
After a long while, her phone finally received a number: "300."
Okay, okay, another three hundred.
Yueqing was a little skeptical. Although cheap was a good thing, being too cheap was not a good thing either.
The clothes have no logos or labels, and the quality is so good, but it only costs 300 yuan. Could this person be reselling second-hand clothes?
It’s not that I dislike it, the clothes look new.
But Yueqing has her own plans. It doesn’t matter what she wears, but these clothes are New Year gifts for the children. “New” is the most important thing, even if they are a little more expensive.
She asked politely, "Is this dress brand new?"
AAAAA Jiang Ge: "Yes."
Yue Qing: "I didn't mean anything else, I just didn't see any labels on it, and I was thinking if it doesn't fit, will I be able to change it later?"
There is an art to speaking.
AAAAA Jiang Ge: "If it doesn't fit, we will exchange it. It's factory direct. They are all merchant samples. They are missing the final factory process so there are no labels. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cheap."
Is this possible?
Yue Qing, who had no knowledge of the clothing industry, suddenly realized: "Thank you for your hard work."
AAAAA Jiang Ge: "There are still some sample toys that no one wants, which I have also packed up as New Year gifts for the children. They are free."
And toys?!
No wonder there are two such big bags.
Yueqing opened another bag, took out a few clothes on the top, and then saw a few toys packed in cardboard at the bottom. There was still no word on them, but after opening it, she was speechless again.
Not to mention the plastic toys that cost dozens of dollars bought in the supermarket, is there really no one who wants this kind of small piano figurine?
She took out the toys, especially the small piano which was quite heavy and finely crafted. Whether in terms of appearance or details and tone, what was the difference between it and a work of art?
Which factory does Brother Jiang work in?
That kind of luxury product eliminated the factory?
The kids who were originally watching Uncle Lin's magic show intently shifted their attention when they heard the sound of the piano in their aunt's hands: "Wow!"
Little Le'an lay on the table: "Auntie plays the piano! Beautiful piano!"
Yue Qing put the piano up and pushed it in front of her, then clicked the voice button on her phone: "This is a gift from an uncle. You should say thank you to Uncle Jiang."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang~"
Originally Yue Qing didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he heard the words "Uncle Jiang" coming out of the children's mouths, he felt that fate was really indescribable.
Maybe in the future, they will also call each other Jiang Jia and Jiang An.
Releasing the voice button, she took back her phone and unconsciously pressed a few keys on the piano. The sound of such a small piano was really nice.
Little Le'an jumped down from the sofa and wanted to climb onto his aunt's sofa, but his elbows rubbed against the sofa for a long time and his short legs were still jumping.
Yue Qing chuckled, moved closer, and pulled her to his side like pulling a radish.
After doing this, she clearly noticed that Mr. Xie beside her leaned towards the window again.
Yueqing was a little puzzled. This person seemed to be avoiding contact with him.
Forget it, she thought about it, picked up the child beside her and changed direction, so that the child sat between her and Mr. Xie.
Little Le'an didn't know what was going on yet. He swung his short legs and pulled his aunt's hand over: "Auntie, play!"
"I can't play it." Yueqing said truthfully.
In fact, her growing environment did not allow her to learn any special skills. She was born with an advantage in being a model. She learned photography when she grew up. As for the others... she was always the one watching the performance from the audience.
Unfortunately, the illiterate kids nowadays couldn't understand the melody at all. Meibao stubbornly said, "It's played by my aunt. It's beautiful. An An loves it."
The two kids opposite have already put their hands on the table, ready to watch the show.
How could Keleqing replicate the few presses he had just made? After thinking about it, he could only use the most basic killer move, which flashed and sparkled.
This was taught by her teacher in music class at school. At that time, she was very curious about these musical instruments, but because of the conditions, she could only watch. Seeing that she was well-behaved, she taught her to press a few keys.
Having lost his touch with the keys over the years, Yue Qing could only press the keys one by one, barely able to play the tune.
"What is this?" Little Le'an thought it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. He raised his two little paws and grabbed at the air a few times, "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, star~"
Yue Qing arched her eyebrows and followed the rhythm of the piano to correct her: "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle~"
"The sky is full of little stars."
In the quiet coffee shop, the sound of the piano was very soft, and the woman humming was also very soft. The child hummed along with the tune in a slurred voice, with a bit of joy in the middle, which made the other two grown men silent.
Jiang then leaned against the armrest of the sofa, and the bulging blue veins on the back of his hand disappeared silently.
Yue Qing, who had washed her face, looked so pale under the light that it was dazzling. In order to talk to the child, she moved her face closer to him, and the smile on her lips was very faint, but very dazzling.
Jiang then shifted his gaze and saw her holding little Le'an's hands and pressing the keys of the small piano one by one with great patience.
For now, she is a qualified mother.
He thought.
If the children were with him, they would not have such tender moments.
Perhaps he could reach a consensus with Yue Qing. If she was willing to continue raising the two children, he would provide all the money and educational resources, and the children would continue to stay with her, and he... as long as he could ensure their safety and growth, and be able to see them whenever he wanted like now, that would be enough.
This may be the best outcome.
"How is it?" On the way back, Lin Shengxi tried to sound out the matter. "Brother, I think Yueqing has really changed a lot now. Maybe there are some misunderstandings in the investigation. The children still like to rely on her."
Jiang Suizhi opened the voice message on his phone in which Yue Qing asked the children to say thank you in front of him.
The children's clear voices echoed in the carriage again, and he listened to them over and over again: "Yeah."
"If you bring the child to live with you, she might not agree, right?" Lin Shengxi analyzed. "After all, she's your child. How can you just let her go back? If she wanted to, she could have used the child to curry favor with you long ago."
After Lin Shengxi reminded him, Jiang Suizhi suddenly asked, "You said she was short of money?"
"Yes." Lin Shengxi nodded. "I saw with my own eyes that she sold all her luxury goods to other people, and she sold them outside my manor. Look, she even added your wholesale number."
I was short of money but hired a nanny for my child.
Jiang Sui then asked, "Was she very close to you guys before?"
"Ahem." Lin Shengxi really didn't want to talk about the past. "We weren't very close, because everyone didn't like her very much at that time, so..."
"Don't you think it's strange?" Jiang then turned off his phone and said in a low voice.
"What's strange?"
"The person you used to know was a sycophant, obsessed with money and extravagance." Jiang then looked out the window. "Given her personality, if she knew who the child belonged to, why didn't she just come to me? That way, she could get more money."
Jiang Yan is already dead. Regardless of whether Jiang Hechang wants to preserve the Jiang family bloodline or hide the fact that the child is known to the world, as long as Yue Qing brings the child to the door, he will definitely get a lot of money.
It's just that she would rather sell all her luxury goods than do it, which shows that the child is very important to her and she doesn't want the child to be involved with the Jiang family.
But this conflicts with the Yueqing character of the past that Lin Shengxi described.
It was so strange, so strange that Jiang Suiji wondered if he had found the wrong person.
Lin Shengxi didn't know what he was thinking: "What if Yueqing doesn't want the child to come back? After all, you are just the child's uncle."
Jiang then hummed, "Let's talk about it later."
"Shall I take you back first?"
Jiang then retracted his gaze and said, "Go to Jiang Hechang."
“…”
Lin Shengxi complained in his heart that no matter how bad his relationship with his father was, he would not call him by his full name. But Jiang Suizhi was different and did not shy away from it at all.
"Speaking of which, brother," Lin Shengxi said casually, gripping the steering wheel. "My dad asked me to learn some skills from you. Now you're asking me to do paparazzi work every day, to be your assistant and driver. What if my dad asks about it?"
Jiang then took off his sunglasses and mask, raised his hand to tidy up his hair, took out another pair of glasses and put them on. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "I said you did a good job."
"ah?"
Are you good at being a paparazzi?
After putting on his glasses, Jiang Suizhi looked more mature as a businessman. Even wearing only a casual suit, he couldn't suppress his calmness. He put away his equipment one by one and said slowly, "Communication is your specialty. You have a wide network of contacts. You start and end things. You do everything well. You really do a good job."
"What does this have to do with being a boss?"
Jiang Suizhi raised his eyebrows: "When you want to be the boss, you will naturally be the boss."
"ah?"
"You're not lacking in ability." Jiang Sui said, "Your father just thinks you're not grown up yet, so he wants to hone your mind."
Is this a compliment?
Lin Shengxi straightened his back: "I always thought I was pretty awesome."
Jiang Suisui said nothing more.
In fact, in a sense, Lin Shengxi is much better than him. People in their circle have been knowledgeable since childhood, and many of their abilities are acquired naturally under the influence of their elders.
In terms of vision, connections, communication skills and personality, none of these were comparable to Jiang Sui's in the past.
Therefore, the only thing he could teach Lin Shengxi was to help him discover his strengths and future goals, rather than becoming his work mentor.
It was already late when they returned to the old manor, and Jiang went straight to Jiang Hechang's study on the third floor.
Sure enough, the door was not closed.
"I heard that you have been very close to that kid from the Lin family recently." Jiang Hechang's voice came out as he just walked to the door.
Jiang Sui's expression remained unchanged. He walked into the study and closed the door behind him. Then he walked to the sofa next to the bookcase and sat down: "Yeah."
"What kind of success can that kid have?" Jiang Hechang frowned. "He's always hanging out with some low-brow internet celebrities, lowering his own value."
Jiang then asked back, "You asked me to come here just to say this?"
"Can't I say anything?" Jiang Hechang stood up and walked over to him. "I'm your father. Look at you these past few years. Have you ever fulfilled the duties of a son? You don't even go home, and you walk away after just a few words. Does that mean I'm the only one left with you and there's nothing I can do to you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Suizhi frowned slightly: "Then what else do you have to do?"
"you……"
Jiang Hechang was very angry.
His two sons, Jiang Yan, usually seems to have a good temper, but in fact he is more stubborn than anyone else. He entered the rebellious stage late and has been dating outside without telling his family. Who in such a family can date an ordinary person?
The other one doesn't even know how to pretend, doesn't even put in any superficial effort, and just fights you openly.
Jiang Hechang was angry because neither of these two people was like him.
He glared at Jiang Sui and said, "Your brother's three-year mourning period is about to end."
"Then what?"
"What then? Then you should not be away from home all day, but come back on the same day!"
Is it necessary to come back specially to talk about this matter?
Jiang Sui was speechless. He stood up and prepared to leave, but suddenly thought of something: "You've checked Jiang Yan's girlfriend before, right?"
Jiang Hechang paused and looked away: "So what?"
"What about her family background?"
"Why are you so interested in her?" Jiang Hechang said impatiently, "She is already in the past. She has nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore."
"I should know what it's like to be someone who loved Jiang Yan so deeply back then, but now has no news from him even after the three-year mourning period is almost over? After all, Jiang Yan was still thinking about her before he died."
When Jiang Hechang mentioned this, his expression turned unhappy: "An ordinary person."
"Is there no one else at home?"
"No, my parents died a long time ago."
So there are no brothers or sisters?
"I've looked into this person." Jiang Sui walked up to his father. "I couldn't find anything about her past. Was there anything you were involved in?"
"Jiang Suizhi." Jiang Hechang almost couldn't help but slap him. "A woman without parents and no family background, her feelings can be bought off with tens of millions, do I need to do anything to her?"
Jiang Suizhi not only did not retreat, but took another step forward: "What are you so excited about?"
In fact, he had suspected this matter for a long time. Since Jiang Hechang was able to find Yueqing, it meant that there were still loopholes in Jiang Yan's protection. Since Jiang Hechang was able to find it, it was impossible for him not to find it.
But now he has mobilized the power of both the Jiang and Lin families, but still cannot find out anything about what happened in Yueqing three years ago. There must be a reason for this.
The father and son stared at each other for a long time. Looking at the eyes that somewhat resembled his eldest son, Jiang Hechang couldn't help but turn around and said, "Your brother has been dead for almost three years."
Jiang Suiyi said nothing.
Jiang Hechang: "No matter what your reasons or intentions are, please don't get involved in this matter anymore."
"Do you think it's possible?" Jiang Sui sneered, "Before I was forced to call you father, I called Jiang Yan brother first."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Just as his hand touched the door handle, he suddenly heard a low sigh from behind him: "You are the only son I have left."
Jiang Yizhi's fingertips moved, and he slowly turned around: "What did you say?"
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. It was unknown how much time had passed before Jiang Hechang finally sat down on the chair. He didn't even look back. "Your brother's death was strange."
"So you knew." Jiang Suiyi curled his lips, "Then you can really sit still."
Jiang Hechang was already used to his youngest son's sarcasm. Perhaps he had already gotten angry, so he didn't feel angry anymore. "Because his death was so suspicious, you can't investigate."
"Why?"
"Why did I try to prevent anyone from finding the mother and her child?"
Hearing this, Jiang Sui's expression changed. He walked over to the table and asked, "Mother and child? Did you know she's pregnant?"
"I know." Jiang Hechang said calmly, "If I didn't know, I wouldn't give her so much money."
"Why don't you tell Jiang Yan?"
"Tell Jiang Yan?" Jiang Hechang turned his chair, looked up and sneered, "And then what? The child hasn't been born yet, and your brother hasn't established himself yet. If you tell him, it won't just be your brother who's dead now!"
Jiang Suiyi said sternly: "If you don't send them away, Jiang Yan won't go looking for them!"
"Yes, he won't go looking for them, but he could also die on the way to work or on a business trip..."
"Jiang Hechang!" Jiang Sui slammed his hand on the table, interrupting him. "You're still making excuses for your selfishness, arrogance, and cowardice. If you hadn't acted on your own, even if they were to die, it would be as a family. Why are they separated like this, with no one ever seeing each other?"
Jiang Hechang was silent for several seconds after being yelled at. After a long while, he finally laughed: "So this is retribution, isn't it?"
The eldest son died, and the younger son responded fiercely.
And now he can't even find the murderer who killed his eldest son, and he has been forced to this point.
He originally thought that he could at least do one more thing for his two children before he died.
At least, let the younger son be safer.
But he underestimated this strange son and his boldness and courage.
"Don't look for them." Jiang Hechang slumped his shoulders and sighed heavily. "If you find them, others will find them. At least don't look for them until you find those people."
After Jiang Yan got into trouble, he spent a lot of time and effort to erase all traces of the woman and the child. This was also the consensus he and the woman reached.
Wouldn't he miss having a granddaughter or grandson outside? Wouldn't he want to know how tall Jiang Yan's child has grown and what he looks like?
Now he no longer works for the group. Every day when he stays at home, he thinks about his son and other relatives he has never met.
Over the years, I have always wanted to train Jiang Yan into a strong and qualified successor, hoping that one day he will be able to stand on his own and become someone that no one can shake.
However, it was only now that Jiang Hechang realized that he couldn't even protect his eldest son.
Jiang then took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if someone found them before I did?"
Jiang Hechang widened his eyes slightly.
"So I said, you only see what you want to see." Jiang Sui sneered, "So self-righteous."
After saying this, he turned around and opened the door.
The study became quiet again.
Jiang Hechang slowly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He waited for a few minutes before he saw a car driving out of the garage. It seemed that he had not sat in a car safely for a long time.
-
The next day at noon, in order to prevent the children from secretly opening the lunch boxes and replacing the meat inside again, Yue Qing went to get the lunch himself. As soon as he got the meal, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar local number.
She handed the meal to Sister Wang and answered the phone. The person on the other end spoke politely, "Excuse me, is this Miss Yueqing?"
"I am, who?"
"I'm from the orphanage," the other end said. "There's been a lot of buzz about Lan Qian and the child these past few days, and many families have come to the orphanage hoping to adopt another child. I don't think it's a good idea for the child to stay with you forever, so why not bring the child here first? If there's a suitable family, that would be good for the child, too. What do you think?"
Because he was always working, Yue Qing didn't pay much attention to what was happening online, but he also received a call from the police. Lan Qian and her lawyer had already sorted things out, and naturally he had lost custody of the child. They were still discussing the child's whereabouts recently.
Xiao Lanxu has expressed that she does not want to return to the orphanage, but it would be great if a good family wanted to adopt her.
So Yueqing planned to take the child there to check out the situation first.
Who would have thought that the two kids would insist on following along: "Let's go too!"
Yue Qing patiently explained: "Auntie is going to do something, Auntie Wang is here to accompany you."
"We can also do things." Little Le Jia took his sister's hand, "Do big things!"
He and his sister can help their brother distinguish who is good and who is bad!
This way my brother will have a good mother in the future!
"Go ahead," Director Tan said. "Today's scenes have already been filmed. Go early and come back early. You can go home after one more day of filming tomorrow."
Yue Qing thought that the most important thing for the children was to accompany their brother. If they were not allowed to go, they might feel restless staying here, so he had to agree to wait until they finished their meal and then bring them over.
But I didn't expect that after I went back to the hotel to pack my things and took the children out, I met Lin Shengxi who happened to pass by.
"Hi~"
Yue Qing raised an eyebrow: "Why is Mr. Lin here?"
"Isn't this just star-chasing?" Lin Shengxi tapped the steering wheel twice. "I haven't seen the kids posting videos in a while, so I wanted to come check it out. You know, rich second-generations like me have nothing to do all day."
Yue Qing nodded, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the back seat. It was pitch black and no one could be seen.
Following her line of sight, Lin Shengxi smiled and said, "Are you looking for my friend named Xie? He's a very busy man. He has to go to work every day, and he's followed by my bodyguards. But if you want to see him, I can give him a call."
"No need." Yue Qing waved her hand, "But we have to go out for something today, so the child may not be back for a while."
Lin Shengxi: "What's wrong? Can I help you?"
"That's not..."
The three cubs betrayed Yue Qing in an instant: "Let's go find a new mother for Brother Lan Xu!"
"Find a new mother?" Lin Shengxi understood. "Then I might be able to help. You can't handle that orphanage by yourself."
Yue Qing was puzzled: "Why?"
"Let's talk on the way."
Yue Qing was confused, but Lin Shengxi repeatedly emphasized that he was a helpful citizen, so she didn't say anything.
But when I saw that there were actually several bodyguards following him, I was indeed a little speechless.
Lin Shengxi, who was driving behind them, hummed a tune after telling Yue Qing about the orphanage's situation over the phone. He then called his client again, "Brother, I'm following you."
It's better to have an informant, so that he can know what Yue Qing is going to do first. However, Lin Shengxi feels that Jiang Suizhi is a bit too nosy. Lan Xu is not his brother's child, so why should he care who adopts the child?
It is true that if you go to Yueqing alone, you will inevitably suffer some hardships.
This guy is quite courageous.
"Can you handle it?" Jiang Sui asked.
"Of course, I'm a professional at bullying people."
As he spoke, Lin Shengxi laughed again: "Brother, are you asking us to be Yueqing's bodyguards? Are you going to take Yueqing back too?"
He was answered with a few emotionless hang-up tones.
Lin Shengxi clicked his tongue.
But I still think this brother is very friendly and his sister-in-law cares about him so much.

When they arrived at the orphanage, Yue Qing asked Sister Wang to take care of the child in the car while she got out first. However, Lin Shengxi did not get out first. Instead, he sat in the car and waved to Yue Qing: "You go first, I'll come back later."
Although Yue Qing didn't quite understand, he just let him do it. When he entered the office, he found that what the dean said was the truth.
Indeed, many families have come and submitted a lot of information, and there are many celebrities and dignitaries among them.
"So many?" She was a little surprised.
"It's mainly due to online public opinion," the director said. "He used to be a child star, and now that Lan Qian has been taken away by the police, even more people are paying attention to him. Adopting him does have a lot of benefits."
Not to mention the good reputation, who knows, it may even bring more celebrity effects in the future.
So these talents come in an endless stream.
Yueqing smiled but didn't say anything.
With Lan Qian's previous experience, she also knew what the real intentions of most people were. If she didn't distinguish them well, wouldn't she be pushing the child into another tiger's mouth?
"We've selected several suitable families." Seeing she didn't respond, the dean said, "Look, both their family backgrounds and their parents' qualifications are excellent."
When Yueqing looked at the families that were singled out, there were several celebrity couples and some wealthy and famous families.
She remained calm and deliberately asked, "Is there nothing more ordinary?"
The dean smiled and said, "Yes, there are, but compared to these families, ordinary families seem less suitable. These parents can not only provide their children with a good growth environment, but also educate their children well and broaden their horizons."
"This one." Yue Qing pointed to one of the families. "They already have three healthy children. They don't need any more children."
"Although this couple doesn't have any children, I just checked and it's been rumored that they've been at odds for a long time. Wouldn't you do some background checks?"
The dean's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled. "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Haven't we just started the screening process? When the time comes, it will still be up to parents and children to make their own choices."
"I learned about your orphanage before coming here. It's very famous. Not only are all the children good-looking, obedient, and sensible, but even the families who adopt them are well above the middle class." Yue Qing took out a pre-prepared document and handed it over. "I also heard that you have requirements before you take in children. You don't accept those who are not good-looking or have defects."
The dean immediately denied it: "Who is talking nonsense?"
Of course it was Xiao Lanxu who said that. The child had been very resistant to the idea of returning to the orphanage before, so Yue Qing consulted in all aspects and also learned a little from Lin Shengxi.
This time, it turned out to be true.
The orphanage caters to different families, specifically those with wealth and power. This way, they can please both sides and earn a good reputation for the orphanage, with countless charitable donations and funds. If the family really cares about the child, it would be fine, but there are probably many like Lan Xu.
"Ms. Yueqing, the children's custody has been revoked. Logically, we have custody of the children, so we will make all the arrangements going forward." The director's tone was somewhat hostile. "We're informing you in advance because we feel you've done a favor for the children, but that doesn't give you the right to slander us."
Yue Qing remained calm: "I won't define whether it's slanderous or not, but I've already reported the situation to the relevant departments. If you don't have any problems, you shouldn't worry about the investigation over the next few days. Those families who want to adopt children won't care about it either. When the results come out, we can discuss adoption. What do you think?"
"Relevant departments?" The dean smiled nonchalantly. "Of course, I don't mind. But if there's nothing wrong, Miss Yueqing will inevitably suffer a little. You'll have to bear all our losses, as well as our reputational damage. That's no small amount of money."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Are you so sure?"
"Ms. Yueqing, we are very grateful to you for taking care of Lan Xu for a few days. If things hadn't gone so smoothly and the child had been adopted, those families would have thanked you and given you a thank-you fee for taking care of the child. But if things didn't go well, you'd get nothing. You have to think carefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, a nonchalant voice came from the door: "How much is the thank you fee? I also played with you for a whole day, so give me a little bit."
Yue Qing didn't turn around, but the dean was surprised to see the newcomer, especially the burly bodyguards behind Lin Shengxi. "Young Master Lin?"
The dean has been dealing with famous families for many years and knows who this person is.
"Why are you here?"
"Let's see what you want my sister Le to think clearly about." Lin Shengxi sat next to Yue Qing. "How ugly will it be?"
“…”
The dean's originally smug expression suddenly turned into panic.
How could Yueqing bring this gentleman here?!
Yue Qing was startled by Lin Shengxi's call of "Sister Le" and turned her head away: "Have you resolved your issue?"
"Nothing wrong?"
"Then why don't you come in?"
"Ah..." Lin Shengxi crossed his legs, "It's more fun to show off like this."
Or just pretending to be cool.
Yueqing: "..."
