Come knocking on ones door

  Come knocking on one's door

  "Mom." Wen Huan stood behind Xu Yu'e, who had just finished talking to Wen Shi Xuan on the phone. Needless to say, she had heard every word Xu Yu'e said to Wen Shi Xuan over the phone.

  Xiao Yu'e was caught off guard by her little daughter, and she turned around with a hint of embarrassment: "Yuanyuan, Mom accidentally overheard your conversation with your second aunt, and I thought to myself, this is something that belongs to our family, no matter what, it can't be taken by your second aunt and them."

  Mother was anxious and because of anxiety, something bad always happened. Wen Huan supported her forehead and pressed her heart: "Mom, I'll tell you, don't casually talk to Dad and sister again."

  "I didn't speak nonsense." Xǔ Yùjué called out, and then assured her younger daughter, "Don't worry, if they knew about it I wouldn't have said anything."

  Mother knows nothing, so naive.

  Wen Yuexin sneered in her heart: If mother knew that father had done those things behind her back, what would happen?

  No matter which woman would not tolerate it, her own biological daughter was ruined by her mother-in-law.

  What will become of one's own sister? Raising an eyebrow, it feels like something that is quite worth looking forward to.

  Xu Yuye, who couldn't get anything out of her husband's mouth, was scolded by her youngest daughter and felt quite resentful in her heart. She thought to herself, "You all think I'm useless, but I can still do great things."

  On the second day, Xu Yu'e really did dispatch a caregiver to cover for her and slipped out herself.

  She had no idea where to find such a jade pendant, and she didn't have any connections. So she thought of the most foolish method and ran to the place where jade was sold.

  Ask people and ask where the most famous places to sell jade in the city are, go one by one to ask if you can find some clues.

  It was purely accidental.

  Ran to a certain famous Chow Tai Fook store and asked the salesperson: Do you have jade with red blood lines inside?

  "There is. There is such a stone. Some people call it 'chicken blood stone', but in fact, it does not exist on the jade market, and no one makes this identification."

  Isn't it worthless?

  Xu Yujiao's face fell: Actually, I also knew that the poor Wen family wouldn't have any treasures.

  Still looking?

  When she hesitated, a young woman wearing sunglasses and dressed in a stylish outfit walked up to the counter, standing just two steps away from her.

  A well-groomed hand reached into the collar and pulled out a red cord with a peace knot, asking the salesperson: "Please help me see if this jade is real or fake."

  He took over the jade button and placed it under the lamp tube. The salesperson carefully observed it from all sides.

  Xu Yu'e, who was standing beside him, took the opportunity to take a look and saw that there was a bright red bloodstain on the peace knot.

  "Miss, this piece of jade, our appraiser is not here right now, but based on my observation, the quality of your jade is ordinary, it shouldn't be a good piece. However, this red spot looks a bit like the 'chicken blood stone' that some people are intentionally hyping up in the market." The salesperson said.

  Isn't chicken blood stone something that people without money wear? Xu Yujiao suddenly felt strange: do rich people also wear things that people without money wear?

  That young woman was dressed from head to toe in brand-name goods, with permed hair and painted eyebrows, looking like a pampered lady.

  "I know, I've searched online," said the young woman. "I just want to ask if this jade can be used by people as a prayer for having children?"

  The salesperson smiled knowingly and said, "This superstitious thing, we don't dare to say. Of course, real jade has health and beauty benefits."

  Young woman lifted her finger and picked up the red knot on top of the jade button: "Have you seen this kind of knot? I looked it up online, saying that old people made it to pray for children."

  I really don't know what to say, encountering such a stubborn customer who obviously wants to seek the blessing of gods and Buddhas. The salesperson reluctantly said: "Miss, this kind of thing is about faith, if you believe it exists, if not then it doesn't. This depends on your own thoughts."

  She got an ambiguous answer, but the young woman was already very satisfied, and carefully put the peace knot back around her neck like she had grasped a lifesaving straw, and tucked it into her intimate clothing.

  Xu Yujiao watched the scene with raised eyebrows, seemingly unimpressed and even slightly disdainful. After returning to the hospital, when her younger daughter and Zhang Qiuyan came over that afternoon, she described the young woman in detail, and casually added her own evaluation:

  "I took one look and knew I couldn't have a son, going around begging gods and Buddhas was useless, can only hold onto this worthless thing as a treasure, seeking peace of mind."

  "Sister-in-law." Zhang Qiuyan occasionally didn't know how to deal with Xu Yuye, who was contradictory and unpredictable, without any rules. She couldn't help but mock her, "You yourself can't give birth to a son, don't you sympathize with others?"

  "What's wrong with what she did? Am I as foolish as her? Thinking that having a son is just a matter of having something broken? If you can't have a son, then so be it. At worst, rely on your daughter." Xuyu E said with a self-satisfied smile, fanning herself with her hand.

  Pfft! Zhang Qiuyan burst out laughing: "But didn't you say that day that you must have a son with Mengmeng?"

  Xu Yu'e obviously is someone who forgets what she said before after saying something, and often contradicts herself.

  "I, I was thinking... stuttered, not knowing how to make an excuse, "If she were to give birth to a daughter, wouldn't she suffer the same as me? It's better if she gives birth to a son."

  After finishing speaking, she gave her little daughter a glance, wanting her little daughter to help speak.

  Ke Wen has already entered a state of trance. Her mother and Zhang Qiuyan only thought that the Wen family's jade pendant was a treasure, but she alone knew that the thing was mainly used to find her sister.

  Now it seems like a clue has emerged, but whether it's concrete or not requires further investigation.

  "Mom, what does that woman look like?"

  Unexpectedly, her little daughter was interested in her story, and it turned out that she was indeed a considerate daughter. Xu Yujiao began to describe the young woman's appearance with great enthusiasm, and when she became parched from talking, she went to the cabinet by the window to pour herself a drink of water. As she glanced down at the street below, what a coincidence! She pointed at the young woman passing by on the street and said: "It's that one!"

  How did it turn out like this?

  Zhang Qiuyan and Wen Xuanqi both leaned forward to the window and looked in the direction that Xu Yuer pointed.

  Right away, Zhang Qiuyan exclaimed: "Ah, this world is really small. I've seen this person many times before. She came to the obstetrics and gynecology department to see that famous Dr. Fang for her illness. Eldest sister, you were right this time. I think she can't even have a son, let alone a daughter."

  "Is it that bad?" Xǔ Yù'é raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.

  It turns out that I am stronger than rich people, at least I can give birth to two babies.

  While her mother and second aunt were chatting, Wen Huan secretly memorized the young woman's appearance. When she saw the woman enter the hospital building, she found an excuse to slip out and took the elevator straight up to the obstetrics department.

  As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw that woman walking out of another elevator. A nurse was accompanying her, seemingly intentionally flattering her and addressing her as:

  "Mrs. Chiang, your hair looks really beautiful today, which hair salon did you go to?"

  The woman smiled with a hint of pride after being flattered: "I was in a bad mood yesterday, so I found a famous master in the capital to help me with it last night. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

  All the way followed, followed that young woman into the doctor's office, accompanied by the nurse who walked to the nurse station and chatted with her colleagues about that woman again.

  "Is Mrs. Chiang here again?"

  "Yes. I heard that she now not only comes here but also goes to the famous maternity hospital where her younger sister works."

  "But it seems like there's no effect."

  "Yes, she was so angry that she couldn't take it anymore, I heard she went to get a haircut last night."

  "Hey, don't mention it. Some people don't want to have kids and keep having them, coming here for abortions. Others want kids but can't have any. I heard that Jiang's wife's younger sister-in-law had an abortion, which made her mother-in-law so angry that she ran into the hospital and caused a big scene."

  "What I heard was different, it's said that she was framed, didn't actually have an abortion herself, but someone was afraid of being exposed and used her name to do it."

  "Or is it possible that we're listening to different people?"

  "Impossible. Isn't Jiang's wife's younger sister-in-law the only one? They say her surname is Wen, named Wen Man, a famous young painter."

  Upon hearing this, Wen Huan almost backed out: This world is too small. Suddenly, they pulled out Mianmian's older sister.

  Anyway, it's always a clue, chasing after it is better than having no idea where to start.

  After learning that the young woman's identity was Manman's sister-in-law, next, it would depend on Zhang Qiuyan, who was well-informed about rumors, to continue investigating.

  That's not hard to do.

  After returning, pretending to be curious, he picked up Zhang Qiuyan's appetite: "Second Aunt, I remember you said that the family where Manman sister married, not only Manman sister is a daughter-in-law."

  "Oh, you're talking about Jiang Da Shao's older brother, Jiang Zhong Xiao." Zhang Qiuyan had indeed put in some effort in this aspect, and as soon as someone asked her, she excitedly opened up, "Although Jiang Zhong Xiao didn't climb the ranks as quickly as Jiang Da Shao, however, his wife is completely different from Manman's."

  "What's different?" Xu Yu'e asked unhappily, sensing some implicit meaning in his words.

  With a dry laugh, Zhang Qiuyan said: "Elder sister, it's not that I'm saying our family is how it is, but you know that there are heavens beyond the sky and people outside of people, that's for sure. So, the fact that your brother-in-law married a wife who is better than your own daughter's mother's family isn't anything strange."

  "How good is it?" Xǔ Yù'é asked with a burst of energy.

  "It's said that the father of the girl's family has an official position one level higher than Chiang's current position."

  Hearing that it was such a prominent woman's family, Xu Yuye was speechless for a moment, her face suddenly turned black, and she walked to the corner and sat down with a sullen expression.

  Zhang Qiuyan sighed and began to say to Wen Huan: "Nowadays, marriage is not like before. For women, the bride's family is more important than the groom's family. Although it has been said since ancient times that a good wife's family can make her speak with confidence in her husband's home. Thinking about the future of our children, I told Haosheng that no matter what, she must marry a good man, so that if unfortunately she gives birth to a daughter in the future, she will not suffer like me and your mother."

  Two aunties are common, but they are also forced out by society.

  Wen Yu and Manman are different, she has always had a respectful attitude towards the vulgarity of this aunt and uncle's family, so in the past, as long as Wen Haosnow was willing, she would be willing to get close to him.

  In the end, she can't walk the same road as Manman. Manman believes that as long as you walk in a straight line and take the right path, you'll definitely reach your goal. Wen Xuan, on the other hand, believes in the policy of "curve to save the country and family". There's no one correct path in this world; if you want to achieve your goal, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes.

  The first thing she needs to do now is to find this sister, and as long as she finds this sister, the fact that Manman is not a child of the Wen family will naturally come out, and no one can stop her from saying it.

  I know that Manman's sister-in-law is named Jin Meichen. At this stage, due to the fact that she cannot have children, she has conflicts with the Jiang family and has returned to her natal home. The large courtyard where Jin's father and mother live is located in the military compound, which is in the same area as the large courtyard where Manman and Jiang Dazhuang live, just separated by a street.

  Jin Fu and Jin Mu's official positions were very prominent, making the cheap jade pendant worn by Jin Mei Chen seem even more suspicious.

  After repeated analysis, Wen Huan thought that this matter had value worth continuing to investigate.

  It just so happens that I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Jin have a habit of going out for a walk in the nearby area on sunny days to exercise in the morning.

  That day, after getting up early, Wen Huan packed a school bag and pretended to go to school. She deliberately took a detour to the entrance of Jin's parents' large courtyard. When Jin's father and mother went out, she quietly followed behind them without making a sound.

  Neither her father nor mother noticed that this student was intentionally following them, walking and running slowly along the way, exchanging whispers.

  "I see Mei Chen, recently she wears that jade every day. In the past, I asked her to wear it but she didn't want to, saying it was ugly." Jin Mu's brow remained furrowed, and only when their daughter was not around did she dare to discuss these secret matters concerning their daughter with her husband.

  "Didn't you ask her what the reason was?" Jin Bo asked calmly, much more composed than his wife.

  "Aren't you the one who's been neglecting her, and now you're spoiling her again?" Mrs. Jin retorted to her husband, after all, she had endured too much in these days. Every time she thought about whether Kim Meichen would hate them as parents because of this, it seemed that their efforts over the years were all in vain.

  "I'm still letting you ignore her, can't spoil her anymore!" Jin's father said angrily, "Do you know what kind of embarrassing things she has done? If it weren't for her husband protecting her, she would have been caught by now."

  "Arrest, arrest her?" Jin Mu was frightened, covering her chest with her hand, astonished. "She didn't commit a crime, did she? We've taught her since childhood that she must never do anything against the law."

  "I don't know what you've taught her, but I only know that she now dares to set foot on the land of Master Taisheng!" Father Jin shouted angrily.

  It's obvious that for Jin Fu, if what Jin Mei Chen did was only targeted at ordinary people and didn't offend the Lu family, he would have a way to suppress it and wouldn't be so furious about what Jin Mei Chen did this time. The problem is, what Jin Mei Chen did this time went too far and got out of hand, to the point where Jiang Fu had to ask the Lu family for help.

  Jin's father temporarily tied the victim, Wanwan, to the Lu family with only one button. There was only Jiang's father in this regard, after all, Jiang's father was a subordinate of Commander Lu, and they were separated by a large courtyard. With things having blown up so big, Commander Lu couldn't just turn a blind eye.

  Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the relationship between Manman and Lu Jia's family. Because as far as he knew, this little wife Manman rarely had any opportunity to contact the two young masters alone, and there was no reason to get involved with them.

  "Alright..." Jin Mu heard this and didn't dare to scold Jiang Fu anymore, "Let's do it your way then, let her be cold-shouldered for a while longer so she can think things through."

  "Right, as long as she clearly understands that we can't provide any help from here, she won't go back and cause trouble with Jiang's father again or conflict with the Lu family. She should put more thought into winning over Jiang's father instead of attacking that little daughter-in-law. Now that little daughter-in-law is Jiang's father's favorite." Jin's father said while instructing his wife on the next move, "But she may not necessarily understand this, you need to subtly influence her, both cold-shouldering and educating her at the same time."

  Jin Mu nodded and followed Jin Fu to a nearby flower bed, where they found a long bench to sit down. Because they had just run for a while, their foreheads were sweating, and their hearts were racing. Jin Mu's eyelids twitched as he said anxiously: "We've done all these things, but every time I see her wearing that jade, my heart feels uneasy."

  "What are you worried about? It's all unnecessary worry. Didn't I tell you last time? They can't find us here. Later, I sent someone to ask at the old residence in Shijiazhuang that your mother mentioned, and they said those people left empty-handed early on. This shows that they were just temporarily excited, not really wanting to find back the child they sold."

  Hiding behind the big tree in the flower bed, after listening to Jin's last words, Wen Yu looked up at the sky. The sky was blue and bright, with a few magpies perched on the branches.

  In the capital city, magpies are abundant. This is the first thing that has given her hope since she moved from the south to the north.

  However, she understood that today's conversation between Jin Father and Jin Mother had already decided the fate of some people.

  How wonderful, although it can't be 100% confirmed that Jin Meichen is her own sister, however, what can be 100% certain is that this woman who thinks she's a high-ranking official's daughter, is going to fall!

  Thinking of this, she probably recalled her own experience of impersonating a high-ranking official's daughter and being exposed. She was eager to see someone else suffer the same fate as her.

  The corners of his mouth curled up.

  ……

  "Second sister." Early in the morning, Manman opened the door and let Jiang Mei and Xiaodongzi enter.

  "Aunt is good." The little Dongzi who came in immediately smelled a packet of fragrance with his nose, and his stomach was growling.

  Jiang Mei heard her son's stomach growling with hunger, and said: "I originally planned to take him to buy breakfast on the road, but this whole way here, I didn't see any street vendors."

  "Let's eat together." Manman's crescent moon eyes smiled, and she pulled out the chair by the dinner table to invite them to sit down. "Second sister, don't bother me with trivial things. Actually, I knew you two were coming over this morning, so I prepared your portions for breakfast too."

  "How can you dislike it?" Jiang Mei smelled the aroma of the char siu bao filling, and like her son, she couldn't help but drool at the corners of her mouth.

  After washing their hands, the three of them sat down together for breakfast.

  Little Dongzi bit his bun and sighed: "Uncle must be missing Auntie's cooking in the army."

  Today is not the weekend, Jiang Dashao has returned to his unit.

  Jiang Mei and Xiao Dongzi were supposed to go to work and school, but Mianmian didn't care if it was a weekend or not, she had to check on the art gallery. Now they had an appointment with Dr. Yao, so this morning they had to take Xiao Dongzi to see an eye specialist. As a result, they all had to get up earlier than usual.

  "Vine, vine." Jiang Mei called out suddenly after swallowing a bun. After going through the abortion and Xiaodong finding an ophthalmologist, she now feels closer to Vine, directly addressing her by name without feeling distant from her sister-in-law.

  "Second sister, what's on your mind? Just say it." Manman said as she ladled more soy milk into the empty bowls of the mother and son. Yu Ya'er smiled warmly and calmly, "Take your time, don't worry about it."

  "I really appreciate you." Jiang Mei pointed directly at a certain place on her chest, and a few threads of crystal light appeared in her eyes.

  "Second sister, if you're talking about Xiaodong's eyes, then don't say that. What is Xiaodong? He's my husband's nephew and also my nephew, a close relative like family to me, how could I not care?" Manman said, seeing Jiang Mei wanting to say something else, she waved her hand and continued, "Second sister, after what happened last time, that day when we were eating, Father-in-law told me something, saying from now on the Jiang family will be my backing. I thought about it for a long time, even if Father-in-law didn't say those words, that day, without Father-in-law and second sister you, could I have washed away the unjust charges so quickly?"

  Jiang Mei felt embarrassed and said, "We're all family, do we need to be so polite?"

  "Sister, since you've said so, from now on, your and Xiaodong's matters are mine and my husband's. No need to say another word of thanks." After finishing speaking, Manman put a small golden-colored bun in Xiaodong's plate and smiled at the little boy, "This is a specialty from our place, called Jinsha Bao, it's sweet."

  Xiao Dongzi blinked his eyes and thought: Auntie, you look the most beautiful when you smile at little kids.

  The doorbell rang at this time.

  Manman got up and wanted to open the door, but was stopped by Jiang Mei.

  "I'll go by the door, I'm coming." Jiang Mei said as she rushed to the doorway and looked out through the peephole. When she saw that it was Master Yao standing outside, she was suddenly startled and turned back to whisper to Manman.

  "What's wrong? Who is it?"

  "What did you and Master Yao agree on? Where are you meeting?" Because this matter was agreed upon by Manman and the two masters, Jiang Mei didn't dare to ask. However, according to the style of the two masters, it should be that they would wait for her at the hospital entrance at most.

  "He said seven thirty. The specific location was at the gate, and I thought it was at the main entrance of the hospital." Mianmian also inferred Mr. Yao's words according to common sense, possibly because there were many people in the hospital and he was afraid of getting lost and not meeting up, so they agreed to meet at the main entrance first.

  Jiang Mei nodded secretly and gave Manman a hinting gesture - Grandpa is outside.

  Manman was shocked and quickly looked up at the clock on the wall and her own watch, neither of which was wrong, it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.

  They can't just leave him hanging outside because the time hasn't come yet. After exchanging a glance, Jiang Mei nervously turned the doorknob.

  After opening the door, Mr. Yao stood at the entrance as usual, wearing that green military uniform with a spirited air, wearing a five-pointed star military cap, which can only remind people of the superstars in military movies - the most handsome one, making young women scream.

  Jiang Mei and Manman thought: This guy shouldn't be a star, it's a pity. Especially this morning, Yao looked like he was in a great mood, with a joyful expression that made his handsome face even more radiant.

  If Manman knew that Master Yao rushed over so early just to hear her call him "Big Brother Yao" again, perhaps Manman's brain would be shocked once more.

  Seeing the two of them standing at the door, not daring to invite him in, seemed a bit too cautious. Mr. Yao smiled and explained: "Bao'er has some eye problems, so I thought I'd take a look on the way. And since I got up early, I might as well come over here and pick you two up together."

  It seems that behind Mr. Yao's back, the shadow of Yao Zibao emerged.

  Manman and Jiang Mei opened the door wide, letting in the two young masters of the Yao family.

  As soon as he smelled the aroma coming from the dinner table, and saw the golden-colored baozi in Xiaodong's hand, Yao Zibao, being a student after all, was more uninhibited than his older brother, and rushed over to examine the baozi in Xiaodong's hand, exclaiming: "I know this one! I had it once with my mom when we were eating Southern cuisine, they called it Jinsha Bao."

  "My aunt made it for me to eat." Seeing that the big brother in front of him seemed to be drooling over the small bun in his hand, Xiao Dong immediately turned around and bit into the bun tightly with his mouth.

  "Since sister Manman made it, I want to try some even more." Yao Zibao had already treated Manman as his own sister and was unscrupulously shouting in her house that he wanted to eat the buns made by his "sister".

  This made Yao Ziye feel embarrassed, and he suddenly raised his face, wanting to scold his younger brother for being impolite.

  "There are still buns in my kitchen." Blocking Mr. Yao, Manman smiled at the two brothers and went into the kitchen.

  Some people like what she does, and they are very happy about it, and they are willing to pass on this joy to others.

  It turns out that this is the first time the two young masters of the Yao family have eaten something she made.

  It is said that Jiang Dashao's downfall was due to a bowl of instant noodles for his young wife.

  I've been wanting to try it for a long time, but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance.

  "Brother, I think it's definitely no worse than our mom," Yao Zibao whispered to his brother while Meimei was steaming buns in the kitchen.

  As for Mrs. Yao's cooking skills, they are actually not bad, and among housewives, they can be considered to be above average. However, because Mrs. Lu's cooking skills have always been top-notch, the two families have been close, and the two women's cooking skills have been compared by these children since they were young, so when it comes to Mrs. Yao's level, in the mouths of these children, it can only be called ordinary.

  There is a genetic factor from Mrs. Lu, the Yao brothers have some guilt in their hearts towards their own mother, no need to taste, they all put their bets on Manman's side.

  No need for words, freshly baked buns are brought to the dinner table, and just by looking at their appearance, they're enough to make your mouth water three feet long.

  After washing their hands, the two brothers each picked up a hot steamed bun and first placed it in the palm of their hand to observe it with both eyes, weighing it. From this action, Jiang Mei and Manman guessed that the brothers were picky gourmets when it came to food.

  Jiang Mei worried, biting Mianmian's ear: If they say it's okay, don't take it to heart. They are used to eating mountain delicacies and seafood, ordinary things can't be eaten.

  According to etiquette, even if it doesn't taste good, one would only say it's edible or not bad.

  Manman couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart. After all, she had been to the Lu's house and tasted Mrs. Lu's cooking once before, and knew that there were indeed better cooks out there than herself.

  The two brothers of the Yao family took a bite of the golden sandbag, and after finishing, they looked at each other with an expression of astonishment.

  Xiao Dongzi turned around and stared at them, the first to show dissatisfaction. He adjusted his glasses and said, "My aunt's cooking is very delicious, you're not allowed to say it's not good just to frame my aunt."

  Upon hearing this, Yao Zibao slowly gritted his teeth and pushed up his glasses: When will it be your turn to be Mengmeng's protector? Even if you were to line up, it wouldn't be your turn, kid. Scram!

  The sparkle on Yao Zibao's glasses, Xiao Dongzi received it, and with a humph, his little leg stretched out to prepare for a big fight, but then he heard the other handsome man speak up.

  "It's delicious."

  Mr. Yao's handsome smile, combined with his sincere and frank words of praise, made Jiang Mei blush even though she was not a chef.

  It's all over now.

  Getting up with embarrassment, mumbling words mixed with some incoherent language: "You guys eat slowly, there's still more."

  "If possible——" Mr. Yao stopped her, telling her not to bother them, smiling with narrowed eyes, a hint of meaning shining through from within, "Can I get it packed up? I want to bring some for someone to try."

  No need to ask, just from his eyes, just from intuition, she knew who he was talking about.

  Thinking of that dignified person tasting her cooking, she felt truly nervous, took a deep breath, clenched her fists on her lap and said: "The golden sand buns are not easy to carry, they're best eaten when freshly baked. If possible, can I make something else for you to take over to her?"

  Mr. Yao was worried that she would refuse again after hearing the first half of the sentence, but he was overjoyed after hearing the second half.

  "No problem, you can do whatever you want, just let me know and I'll come over right away."

  The crescent moon's eyes narrowed into a curved shape.

  "You go ahead and eat. I'll wait with Bao'er in the living room." Seeing Xiao Dongzi and her own brother almost fighting over a sister, she quickly borrowed an excuse to pull her brother into the living room, "We arrived early, you guys take your time eating."

  Toward Yao Zibao's face, Xiaodongzi put his little finger under his eyelid and made a "deserved" expression, then he was punished by his mother with a chestnut on the top of his head.

  "Big brother is letting you win." Jiang Mei scolded her little son with her hands on her hips.

  Little Dongzi with a pouting mouth didn't seem particularly unhappy about his mother's education.

  Jiang Mei was actually quite delighted. All along, because of her son's eyes, he was either bullied or isolated by others. Now, there was someone willing to play with him, and it was the second young master of the Yao family. Whatever she thought, it was all good news.

  Turned back, wanting to say a few more words to Manman, only to find that Manman was distracted.

  It's clear that what to feed that person has become a top priority.

  There is a grandfather at home, even if it's still early, several people don't dare to slack off, and breakfast ends in a hurry.

  Following a line of people down the stairs, Jiang Mei originally wanted to drive her own car, but Mr. Yao waved his hand: "Let's all ride in our car, it's more convenient that way." Then, he said to Manman: "I heard you want to take your driver's license test."

  "Yes." Manman thought, this matter had only been discussed with her husband, could it be that he had leaked the information.

  "In two days, someone will take you to practice driving," said Mr. Yao mysteriously.

  It seems like my husband asked his father to find a psychologist to test her for any psychological trauma.

  Nodded slightly.

  This line walked to the door, and a van was parked at the gate.

  "Meimei Jie." Lu Huan, who opened the van door and poked his head out from inside, called out to Meimei in a happy tone.

  Manman and Jiang Mei were both taken aback: It seems that today's entourage is quite large.

  The front seat of the van was occupied by a driver and a cold figure sitting in the co-pilot's seat, who could only be you, Comrade Jun.

  "It's getting late." Seeing that a row of people were stunned there, seemingly affected by his own cold aura, the lord slightly restrained his cold aura and said.

  "Everyone get on the bus." Mr. Yao cooperated by opening the door, as if he had opened the gate of a prison, inviting you to enter the trap.

  Jiang Mei jumped onto the carriage and whispered to Manman, "Old Master Yao is still okay. To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of Master Jun. Otherwise, I would have gone to beg him with a thick face earlier. But I didn't expect Master Jun to come today."

  The gaze in Yuè Yá Er's eyes shifted to the front seat.

  His cold words seemed to make all the whispers disappear into thin air: "I'm just passing by."

  Jiang Mei bit her tongue.

  Everyone is present. The minibus leaves the unit's courtyard and along the way, some middle-aged people can be seen walking, jogging, or running slowly for their morning exercise.

  As it was still early, the van drove slowly without accelerating, as if intentionally giving the people on board more time to gather.

  As soon as they hit the road, the two boys started chattering away. Yao Zibao boasted to Lu Huan that he had just eaten a golden sand bun at Manman's house.

  "What!" Lu Huan heard such a rare treat and he himself didn't get to enjoy it, immediately shouted out loud, "You're really not being brotherly enough, you don't know how to take care of me. As long as you call me, I'll rush over like a rocket, you should at least give me half."

  Upon hearing Lu Huan say this, Manman pushed down her glasses: "If you want to eat it, I'll bring some other things for you next time."

  Lu Huan blinked rapidly, almost thinking she had changed sex, and asked Yao Zibao in a low voice: What's wrong?

  "My brother suggested that she make something for your mom to eat. She agreed." Yao Zibao also found this matter quite strange.

  "Maybe my sister has come around." Lu Huan blinked her beautiful eyelashes, "You see, as long as both sides take a step back, isn't that progress?"

  "The key is with your brother." Yao Zibao nodded towards Jun Ye's cold back.

  Although they asked Manman to be softer, actually the one who needs to be softer is Junye.

  If you are willing to show a bit of leniency, I'm sure this matter will progress more smoothly.

  "It looks pretty tough." Looking at Lu Huan on the ground, his mature and uncertain gaze said, "You know my brother's temper, some things he has decided on, it's very difficult to change his mind."

  To sum it up, Comrade Junye's view on Wen Shixuan is the most crucial issue.

  When the van approached the bus station, it encountered a traffic jam. Several buses in front of it were lined up one after another, and the van couldn't overtake them, so it followed behind at a slow pace like a turtle.

  On one hand, he listened to Mr. Yao's gentle voice asking Jiang Mei about the more specific situation of Xiao Dongzi's eyes, on the other hand, he looked through the car window and saw a person.

  Carrying a backpack, with a duck-billed cap pressed on her head, the brim almost covering half of her face. However, Mianmian barely thought about it, and just at first glance, she could recognize her sister Wen Xuan.

  Why would Wenjuan come all the way here to wait for a bus?

  A huge doubt occupied Mengmeng's heart.

  "That person——" Along with the vines of sight, two young men blinked their eyelashes in unison, exchanging shocked gazes:

  They all recognized Wen Huan because she had once impersonated Yao Zibao's fiancée, leaving a deep impression on them.

  Since Manman and two younger brothers have been found, but the two grandfathers did not see Wen Huan, they had to give up.

  Actually, it was Jun Ye sitting in the passenger seat who caught sight of Wen Huan's figure first.

  The chill in her eyes, like a needle, pierced through the fingers that pressed down on the brim of her hat, trying to see through to the bones beneath the skin, where the true nature could not be concealed.

  The fingers that pinched on the brim of the hat were tense, or rather, extremely excited.

  Suddenly feeling like a needle-like gaze was fixed on her, Wen Xuan lifted the brim of her hat and locked eyes with Man Man, who had just brushed past her in the back seat of the white van.

  A complex gaze flashed across Wen Huan's eyes.

  Suddenly and strangely, at this moment, there was no trace of panic or loss in her sister's eyes, as if she acknowledged that what she was doing wasn't anything wrong.

  What's going on?

  Endless thoughts entwined, unable to unravel.

  The van left the main street and accelerated after getting on the elevated highway.

  Jun Ye pulled out the communication line from his collar and had a conversation with the person monitoring Wen Xuan.

  "Yes, Captain. This morning, we found her walking to the entrance of the nearby military compound and then started following a couple. We were afraid she would discover us, so we didn't dare follow too closely, keeping a distance from her and the couple. Specifically what she overheard the couple say, we couldn't quite make out."

  "What is husband and wife?"

  The person who answered had a tone of surprise: "Jin Meichen's dad and mom. Lu Shangxiao, you should have an impression, Jin father was once the old subordinate of Lu Commander."

  Lost in thought, with a very heavy heart, under the cold gaze gathered: "Didn't you hear what that couple said after she left?"

  "Some." The person who answered looked at him with admiration for his calm and excellent insight, "I heard some key words. For example, Yu Jinmei is wearing a piece of jade, which seems to be related to her origin."

  "What does it mean?" The pupils constricted.

  If it was this meaning, the event started to develop in the direction he had thought of, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up.

  "The one on land." The other side seemed to sense his inevitable joy, and smiled, "As you thought, the daughter of the Jin family is not a biological child of the Jin family. The jade pendant left by her biological parents has a great relationship with the Ping An buckle that Wen Huan wants to find."
