“The Helan family won’t cause as much trouble as you’ve described,” Sheng Qian restarted the car. “Let things take their course.”
"Having the Helan family as your backer is actually a good thing for you," Long Yunting said. As long as it benefits Sheng Qian, it's a good thing. He might as well accept the marriage with the Helan family.
"Back home..."
"Do as you wish."
Sheng Qian naturally didn't want to escalate the matter.
So we should keep our interactions low-key.
Despite Sheng Qian's desire to keep a low profile, He Lanjin called her the next day.
"The family wants to let relatives and friends know that you exist. Last time it was godparents, but this time it's a real family recognition."
Sheng Qian remained silent for a while before saying, "I can arrange it, but I don't want to make too much of a fuss."
He Lanjin said, "We will not go too far with this. We respect your wishes."
"When should it be scheduled?"
"The family wants it to be done as soon as possible, how about the day after tomorrow?"
"You can make the arrangements, I'll just cooperate."
Helan Jin was surprised that Sheng Qian was so agreeable. After a pause, she said, "If your adoptive parents can come, please have them come as well. For better or for worse, they are the ones who raised you. Our Helan family would never be ungrateful."
Sheng Qian said, "I can take good care of things here and provide them with sufficient comforts. But as for repaying them, I have to do it myself."
"Can……"
"If you want the family reunion banquet to go smoothly, Brother Jin, you should listen to me."
"I'll let my family know. What about the Long family? You're not planning to tell them?"
"We'll find an opportunity to talk about it."
"If you need any help, please let me know."
"I will let you know if I need to."
After the two siblings ended their call, Sheng Qian felt a little out of sorts.
Suddenly having an older brother is a feeling that's hard to describe.
I had cousins and other relatives in my past life.
But nothing like today has ever happened before.
If Sheng Li and Luo Minjuan were more well-behaved, it wouldn't matter if they went to He Lan's house.
But unfortunately, neither of them is easy to deal with.
Sheng Qian and Long Yunting returned to the Long family today and followed them into Elder Long's study.
"Grandpa, we visited the Helan family yesterday."
Sheng Qian said it directly.
Elder Long glanced at the two of them, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Helan family?"
“There is something I need to tell my family, so that we don’t run into each other and hurt our relationship in the future,” Sheng Qian said, looking at Long Yunting. “Actually, I am not the biological daughter of my current parents, but the baby girl who was rumored to have died in the Helan family back then.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Long was stunned.
The incident involving the Helan family caused quite a stir back then, so everyone in the capital knew about it.
The baby girl didn't die, but instead became Sheng Qian.
This all seems so mysterious.
“I never expected it to be like this. They verified our blood relationship before acknowledging me. Now they need to gather our relatives and friends to reunite us.”
This time, the Helan family's event is bound to be quite grand, so some people in the industry must have heard the news.
That's why she gave Elder Long a heads-up beforehand, so that she wouldn't wait for word from outsiders to come back and ask them, which would make her seem inconsiderate.
Old Master Long regained his senses, concealing the surprise in his eyes, and said, "In that case, the Long family should also make some gesture."
Who would have thought that Sheng Qian's background was so noble, that she came from the Helan family in the capital.
The old lady Helan was so brave back then that even a man like Long Lao admired her.
The interactions between Elder Long and Madam Helan were limited to a few times. Although they were both in the capital, they were in different fields and thus had their own development and no mutual benefit.
Upon arriving here, the two families unexpectedly found themselves in close contact because of Sheng Qian.
There isn't any now, but there will be plenty in the future.
Thinking of all this, Elder Long continued, "I will personally tell your parents about this. You two should just do what you need to do and don't need to worry about such trivial matters."
For Elder Long, this was indeed a trivial matter.
Long Yunting suddenly ran back halfway and spent a day with Elder Shen, which must mean he has a new mission.
Not now, but I will definitely be leaving Beijing within the next few days.
"I don't have any missions at the moment," he said, adding that even if he did, he would delay his departure by a day or two.
There are some things that don't need to be done by him personally.
“Go if you have a mission, don’t worry about me here,” Sheng Qian knew he must be very busy, but just to stay by her side, he must have specially asked his superiors for something.
Long Yunting took her hand and said, "Let's talk about it after this matter is settled."
Sheng Qian nodded.
Seeing the two of them like this, Elder Long was also very pleased.
*
Zhou Shi and Fang Runqing's parents were going back together, and Sheng Qian and Long Yunting came to see them off in person.
They even arranged their return flights and train tickets.
The four people, carrying large and small bags, said goodbye to their children at the airport.
With Sheng Qian and the others around, both of their parents felt very reassured.
There's no need to worry about them being mistreated in the capital and having no one to care.
"We're leaving Runqing in your care," Fang Runqing's parents said, giving her a reluctant hug before handing her over to Sheng Qian and the others.
"Don't worry, we're here. Your child will be fine," Luo Minjuan said with a smile, patting her chest as a guarantee.
Watching her parents enter the boarding gate, Zhou Shi reluctantly took a few steps forward.
“We will go home again. This time we are just here to study,” Sheng Guanhua comforted Zhou Shi.
