When Qi Mengmeng left the police station, she took Lei Lei with her. Jiang Shan looked as if he was about to say something but stopped talking: "Sister-in-law, are you going to adopt this child?"
"Of course not. Leilei is raised so well, which shows that his family loves him very much. Now his family must be looking for him. I can't be so selfish as to leave him here."
Qi Mengmeng explained it for a while, and then she realized that Jiang Shan was talking about adoption?
He had clearly heard what Wang Dong said just now, and he had such speculation, which could only mean one thing: he knew that Gu Guizhi might be infertile.
Jiang Shan was obviously relieved after hearing what Qi Mengmeng said.
Gu Guizhi has just gotten into trouble. If Qi Mengmeng takes a child back, it would be bad if Gu Guizhi becomes suspicious.
The simple Jiang Shan actually became more cautious when dealing with Gu Guizhi's affairs.
Qi Mengmeng looked at Jiang Shan pushing the bike beside her and thought for a moment: "Jiang Shan, you can ride your bike back home first. I'll take Lei Lei back by car later."
Since she had promised Wang Dong to help take care of the child, she couldn't let the child wear tattered clothes.
Jiang Shan wanted to take Qi Mengmeng to the bus stop, but Qi Mengmeng shook her head. She planned to take Lei Lei to buy some clothes first, and then go see Gu Guizhi. She estimated that the time would be about right.
Lei Lei didn’t understand what Jiang Shan and Qi Mengmeng were saying. He only knew that Qi Mengmeng was his mother and he should follow Qi Mengmeng closely.
Although Jiang Shan felt that Qi Mengmeng was too nice to Lei Lei, Qi Mengmeng was spending her family's money, so he obediently rode away first.
Qi Mengmeng held Leilei's hand and walked for a while, then lowered her head and asked him, "Leilei, are you tired? How about I hold you?"
Leilei puffed out his chest and said, "Grandpa said that a real man is not afraid of being tired."
Qi Mengmeng burst out laughing. How could a three-year-old kid be considered a man? She squatted down and said, "Leilei, if you are tired, tell me and I will hold you."
Leilei smiled brightly: "I know, Mom."
Qi Mengmeng's smile froze, and she discussed with Lei Lei: "Leilei, I'm not your mother, can you please not call me mother, but call me auntie instead?"
"It's not auntie, it's mom." Lei Lei shook his head, insisting that Qi Mengmeng was her mom, no matter what she said.
Qi Mengmeng sighed. She couldn’t communicate with the child, so she gave up.
Ever since Qi Mengmeng stopped Lei Lei from calling her mom, Lei Lei hasn't spoken to Qi Mengmeng and has been keeping his lips pursed.
During this time, Qi Mengmeng wanted to hug him, but he refused. Qi Mengmeng gave him candy, but he refused to eat it, as if he was angry.
Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything else until she went to the children's clothing counter in the department store and asked the waiter to get two sets of children's clothes for Lei Lei to change into. Only then did a smile appear on Lei Lei's face.
"Leilei, do you like this dress? If you like it, then buy them all?" Qi Mengmeng looked at Leilei with a smile.
Leilei nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Mom."
Qi Mengmeng no longer wanted to correct Lei Lei. It was useless anyway. She gave the money to the waiter and went to buy a pair of sandals for Lei Lei. When she passed by the toy counter, she bought a jigsaw puzzle for Lei Lei.
Lei Lei was immediately happy and held Qi Mengmeng's hand and talked non-stop.
Qi Mengmeng took the newly dressed Lei Lei to the military hospital. She wanted to say something to Gu Guizhi.
Gu Guizhi's first reaction when he saw Lei Lei was the same as Jiang Shan's.
"Mengmeng, do you want to adopt Leilei?"
Lei Lei was startled by Gu Guizhi's voice and immediately hugged Qi Mengmeng's arms tightly.
Qi Mengmeng patted Lei Lei's arm, asked him to let go, put him on another bed, and let him play by himself for a while.
Lei Lei looked at Gu Guizhi and sat as far away from him as possible to play the tangram.
Qi Mengmeng then answered Lei Lei's question: "I think Lei Lei's family is very well off and his family must love him very much. We just need to take good care of him until his family finds him."
"I saved him, and now he thinks I'm his mother. He doesn't recognize anyone else except me. Officer Wang from the police station also asked me to take care of him."
Gu Guizhi looked at the plump Lei Lei and nodded, and also thought that what Qi Mengmeng said made sense.
"But this will make you work hard." Gu Guizhi did not object to Qi Mengmeng taking care of Lei Lei. Instead, his eyes were full of heartache.
Qi Mengmeng thought it was okay. Leilei could eat by himself and was well behaved during naps. She was just helping to take care of him for a few days.
After talking about Lei Lei's matter, Qi Mengmeng asked about Gu Guizhi's condition.
Gu Guizhi's face was calm: "Doctor Liang said that I have recovered well and can go back to recuperate next week. However, I cannot do strenuous exercise for the time being. The rest depends on my recovery."
Qi Mengmeng understood that what he was talking about was fertility. She was mentally prepared for this, so she was not disappointed.
While the two were talking, Lei Lei sat beside them and played with his toys quietly, occasionally looking up at Qi Mengmeng.
When Qi Mengmeng was about to take Leilei away, Leilei suddenly turned around and asked Gu Guizhi: "Are you my dad?"
Gu Guizhi wanted to say no, Lei Lei looked up and asked Qi Mengmeng: "Mom, is this Dad?"
Gu Guizhi immediately replied: "Yes, I am the father."
Qi Mengmeng glared at him, wondering what trouble he was making.
Lei Lei believed it and ran to Gu Guizhi, patting his arm: "Dad, take your medicine well. Mom and I will pick you up."
Qi Mengmeng thought Leilei's reaction was very natural. She asked, "Leilei, have you ever seen your father come to the hospital before?"
"Yes, I came here with grandpa and mom." Lei Lei nodded and pulled Qi Mengmeng out: "Mom, let's go home."
Qi Mengmeng said something to Gu Guizhi first before leading Lei Lei out. On the way, she was thinking about telling Wang Dong the news tomorrow, hoping to find Lei Lei's family as soon as possible.
Qi Mengmeng and Lei Lei were the only ones who got on the car at the entrance of the military hospital. There was just one seat left in the car, so Qi Mengmeng carried Lei Lei to the seat.
Lei Lei held Qi Meng Meng's hand and said, "Mom, sit down. Mom, hold me and sit down."
"Swoosh" everyone's eyes in the car were focused on Qi Mengmeng.
Everyone already knew that Qi Mengmeng was Gu Guizhi's newlywed wife, but how could a boy this old call her mom? Did Gu Guizhi know?
Qi Mengmeng wanted Lei Lei to sit by himself, but Lei Lei insisted that Qi Mengmeng hold him in her arms while they sat on the seat.
When Qi Mengmeng sat down, she realized that everyone was looking at her, but when they met her gaze, they quickly looked away.
Although the people in the car were curious, they were not familiar with Qi Mengmeng. They exchanged glances with each other, but no one asked.
Qi Mengmeng had no obligation to explain to the stranger, so they returned quietly to the family compound.
Normally, everyone gets off the bus and rushes home in a hurry, but today everyone gets off the bus and follows behind slowly.
Qi Mengmeng ignored others. She led Lei Lei inside and told him everything she knew.
Leilei kept nodding, and I don’t know whether he remembered it or not.
Qi Mengmeng brought Lei Lei to her door. When she lowered her head to get the key, Li Lai Di came out from next door. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lei Lei beside Qi Mengmeng's legs and said, "Wow, whose child is this? He looks so good."
