After what happened with Dr. Jin, Jiang Peirong no longer had any obsession with Zhan Nanqi's illness.
She listened to Xue Jiayu's advice and tried to relax. Indeed, for a while, she felt that Zhan Nanqi's situation was much better than before.
But today, after Zhan Nanqi and Gu Yuan left, she was thinking while she and Ying Huanyu were waiting for them to come back.
If Zhan Nanqi was a normal child, she wouldn't be so worried if he left with Gu Yuan tonight and had to wait for Zhan Nanqi to come back.
It was only after Xue Wangjun called her that she dared to bring Ying Huanyu back, otherwise she would still be waiting for Zhan Nanqi to come back.
The children at the table looked at each other in bewilderment. Gu Yuan couldn't help but say, "Nan Qi, why don't you go and comfort Aunt Jiang? I think she's very sad."
Zhan Nanqi remained silent and concentrated on eating.
Gu Yuan put down his chopsticks and imitated the way Xu Huimei usually taught him, educating Zhan Nanqi earnestly.
"Nan Qi, just go and comfort Aunt Jiang. It won't cost you anything."
But no matter what Gu Yuan said, Zhan Nanqi just didn't say anything.
Finally, it was Xue Jiayu who spoke up, "Brother Nanqi, just go over and hug Aunt Jiang. You don't have to say anything to her, she will be very happy."
Zhan Nanqi finally responded. He put down his chopsticks and glanced at Xue Jiayu.
Seeing this made her heart skip a beat.
[It's over, Brother Nanqi won't be angry, right?]
Gu Yuan thought so too, and tugged at Xue Jiayu's arm, "I've talked him into it, but he still won't do anything. Forget it."
But Xue Jiayu has her own plans.
[Brother Nanqi must bravely take the first step, only then can his autism be cured, but he doesn’t even try hard…]
Zhan Nanqi heard her inner voice and saw that her eyes were filled with worry.
After a while, he suddenly stood up.
Gu Yuan was so scared that he thought he was going to get angry, and quickly hid behind Xue Jiayu.
"Jiayu, save me!"
Xue Jiayu stared at Zhan Nanqi blankly, "Brother Nanqi, what are you going to do?"
Zhan Nanqi didn't say anything, but walked to the living room and sat next to Jiang Peirong who was crying.
Jiang Peirong, who was still immersed in sadness, felt the sofa next to her sink. When she turned around, it was Zhan Nanqi. She was so stunned that she forgot to wipe away her tears.
Although Zhan Nanqi didn't say anything, Jiang Peirong felt that he came to comfort her.
"Nanqi, do you want to comfort your mother?"
Everyone in the room was staring at Zhan Nanqi, and just when everyone thought Jiang Peirong was going to be disappointed, Zhan Nanqi actually reached out and hugged her.
In an instant, Jiang Peirong felt that all her fatigue and anxiety tonight had disappeared.
She hugged Zhan Nanqi back excitedly, "You are so good. Mommy is not sad anymore."
Jiang Qiuyi shook her shoulders and was happy for her from the bottom of her heart, "You are not sad now, right? Do you want to eat something?"
"No more eating. Lao Zhan is still waiting for us to go back home."
Jiang Peirong sniffed and took Zhan Nanqi's hand, "Let's go home with mom."
After they left, Jiang Qiuyi also sent Gu Yuan home, and Xu Huimei was waiting there as expected.
When she saw Gu Yuan, she picked up the feather duster by the door and was about to hit him, but fortunately Jiang Qiuyu quickly stopped her.
"Don't hit him, don't hit him, he did a good thing today!"
"You can't wait till midnight to get back to me no matter what good things I have to offer. Do you know how anxiously I'm waiting?!"
Jiang Qiuyu had no choice but to tell Xu Huimei about Xue Jiayu's kidnapping before she put down the feather duster.
"Is our boy really so brave? It really surprised mom."
Xu Huimei touched his head, and her attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
"That's great. I'll reward you with a chicken drumstick tomorrow."
Gu Yuan secretly winked at Jiang Qiuyu, meaning "Just watch".
Jiang Qiuyu couldn't help laughing, and told Xu Huimei about asking for leave for Gu Yuan.
"You all can come to my house for dinner tomorrow, and our three families will have a meal together."
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go back and rest!" Xu Huimei could see that Jiang Qiuyu's eyes were swollen from crying, and she pushed her back to rest with a distressed look.
At home, Xue Wangjun carried Xue Jiayu upstairs and waited at the door until she finished her bath. He then carried her back to the bedroom and gently wiped her hair.
After Xue Jiayu's hair was dry, Xue Wangjun was reluctant to leave, so he sat beside the bed and looked at her lovingly.
"Dad, why are you watching over me all the time? Aren't you tired?" Xue Jiayu leaned in to look into his eyes, pretending to be surprised, "There are so many red bloodshot eyes."
Mom and Dad must have gone to great lengths to find her.
Thinking of this, Xue Jiayu got up and hugged Xue Wangjun's neck and acted coquettishly.
"Dad, thank you for loving me so much."
Xue Wangjun was flattered, and quickly patted her on the back, saying lovingly: "You are my only child, who else can we love if not you?"
Ying Huanyu, who was standing outside the door, heard this, clutched her beloved toy bear, clenched her fists, and turned away.
She originally thought that since Xue Jiayu had finally returned, she wanted to give her favorite teddy bear to her sister so that she could sleep well.
Who would have thought that when I heard my father say this, it turned out that in their hearts they never regarded me as their own children!
But she didn't hear Xue Jiayu's next words, "Isn't Xiaoyu also our child? You can't do this."
Xue Wangjun kissed his precious daughter's forehead and discussed Ying Huanyu's affairs with her in such depth for the first time.
"Xiaobao, we adopted Xiaoyu because you wanted us to adopt her. That's why we kept her. But you have our blood in you, which is different from hers. No matter how much we love her, she can't compare to you."
Xue Jiayu was moved and emotional. He took a deep breath and said the decision he had thought about for a long time.
"Dad, can you formally adopt Xiaoyu and put her on our household registration book?"
Although the Xue family has been supporting Ying Huanyu, they have not completed the formalities and have not even changed her surname.
Xue Wangjun had mentioned it once, but was rejected by Jiang Qiuyu.
Now that Xue Jiayu mentioned it again, Xue Wangjun kept it in mind and discussed it with Jiang Qiuyu before going to bed.
Jiang Qiuyi was applying eye cream and answered without even looking at Xue Wangjun.
"Impossible. I can provide her with food, clothing, and education, but she cannot be registered in the household registration book."
Once it is recorded in the household registration book, its nature changes.
If the inheritance is divided in the future, Ying Huanyu wants to take Xue Jiayu's share. It is for this reason that Jiang Qiuyu refuses to move her household registration.
Xue Wangjun smiled bitterly, "But this is Xiaobao's wish. You didn't see her expression when she discussed it with me. I feel I shouldn't agree to her."
"Xiaobao brought it up?" Jiang Qiuyi turned her head to look at him, frowned and thought for a while, "Xiaobao was just excited at the moment, he will forget it when he wakes up tomorrow."
Xue Wangjun helped her massage her shoulders. "Don't you know your daughter's temper? Everything she does is carefully considered."
“…That won’t work either!”
Jiang Qiuyu lifted the quilt and turned off the light. There was no room for negotiation on this matter.
