Aunt Lan understood Madam's concerns and respectfully acknowledged her words. On the other hand, Qingyan was a bit surprised. Had her parents investigated the Lu family? Otherwise, why would their expressions turn sour when mentioning Lu Zhenhai and Xu Aiqin? Did they find out about how the Lu family had mistreated her in the past?
"Yanyan, if the Lu family approaches you later, you can tell Mom, and I will handle it," Song Qiaoying couldn't be too direct, so she tactfully said, "If the Lu family wants to discuss their parenting responsibilities, Mom will definitely have a talk with them."
"Of course, Grandma Lu has been kind to you, and your parents are not ungrateful people!" Li Yuanfu said kindly, "If the hospital needs any assistance, like payments or switching to a VIP ward, just let Dad know, and he'll arrange it!"
"I heard that Grandma's condition is serious. If she needs a renowned doctor, you can also inform Mom and Dad! Mom and Dad know that Grandma Lu raised you all these years, so if you want to repay her and be filial, you can bring her to our home. Mom and Dad fully support it!"
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom." Qingyan became even more certain of her speculation in her heart. Her parents must have investigated the Lu family.
"Master, Madam... Young Master Si's car is following behind," the driver Liu Shu glanced at the rearview mirror and cautiously said, "It has been following us for quite a while."
The conspicuous license plate number, it was hard not to recognize it! Qingyan: ???
What is this guy doing, following them?
Li Yusha clenched her fists. How could Si Yechen be following them? Could it be because of Qingyan?! The thought made her seethe with hatred, wishing Qingyan were dead!
"Should I stop the car?" The driver was somewhat hesitant.
On the other hand, Song Qiaoying was happy and said, "Achen must be here for Yan Yan! Yan Yan, you should get off first! Your dad and I still have to go somewhere else! We're not going in the same direction for now."
Qingyan: ???
"Yeah, yeah, let Achen take you home first." Li Yuanfu asked the driver to stop the car and smiled at Qingyan, "Go quickly, don't keep Achen waiting too long."
Song Qiaoying opened the car door directly and pushed Qingyan out of the car.
Qingyan:...
Did her biological parents just kick her out of the car?
"Lord Chen, it seems like Miss Qingyan was kicked out of the car?" Qingmu widened his eyes, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Si Yechen's lips curved up as he pushed the car door open and took a few steps forward, pulling the girl into his arms. He looked at the departing British green luxury car with a meaningful smile, "My parents are really reasonable people."
Qingyan raised her eyebrows in displeasure, "Who are your parents anyway?"
If it weren't for you, would I have been kicked out of the car?
"Your parents, aren't they my parents?" Si Yechen looked down at the girl in his arms, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Aren't we a family?"
"..." This guy's shamelessness is getting worse and worse! Who said we're a family?
"Didn't I ask you to go back first?" Qingyan was pulled into the car by him, her tone filled with helplessness. "You guys haven't had dinner until now?"
Qingmu quickly explained, "Lord Chen didn't leave at all and didn't eat anything, waiting for you to come out."
Qingyan felt a headache coming on. "Then go find something to eat first. Park the car, I'll go home by myself."
Qingmu: ???? Is something wrong?
"Accompany me." Si Yechen held her hand and refused to let go. "You owe me company, and now you have to make up for it."
Qingyan: ???? Can you even demand that?
Just then, Qingyan's phone vibrated a few times. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Lu Zhenhai.
Without hesitation, Qingyan immediately blocked that number.
After a while, Lu Zhenhai sent a WeChat message:
"Yan Yan, why did you block Dad's phone number? Let Dad out! Dad has something to say to you!"
Qingyan's lips curled up. Just a few days ago, when he deliberately distanced himself from her when he sent her back to the remote mountain village, why is he suddenly calling himself Dad now?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Zhenhai sent several more WeChat messages:
"The car you took tonight, is it from your family? I heard it costs three billion..."
"What do your parents do? How can they afford servants and drivers?"
"Is what the servant said tonight true? Did your parents really prepare so many valuable gifts for us? Why didn't you remind us?"
"Let's do this, do you have time now? Let's find a place to talk..."
"You were interested in Yao Yao's necklace, right? Dad will bring it to you! It's a gift for you! Just take it!"
At the end, Lu Zhenhai hypocritically added, "Most importantly, Dad misses you and wants to see you."
Qingyan smirked, a hint of mockery in her smile, as she blocked that WeChat account as well, putting her phone away as if nothing happened.
"Someone bothering you?" Si Yechen toyed with her small hand. "Shall I handle it?"
"No need." Qingyan didn't consider the Lu family as anything important, her expression indifferent.
"If you have any trouble, you can come to me." Si Yechen looked into her eyes. "Anything you don't want to deal with or can't be bothered with, you can leave it all to me."
"Are you free?"
"In whatever you're dealing with, I'll always make time," Si Yechen's tone carried a hint of indulgence. "At such a young age, you shouldn't shoulder everything on your own."
"..."
"I'm here for everything," Si Yechen patted her head. "Remember that, kiddo."
"..."
"What should you remember?"
"To come to you when I need something..."
"Remember that you have a fiancé, too. Spare some time to be with him, even if you're busy. And if you can't, think of him more."
"..."
"He'll protect you from the wind and rain, accompany you through all the dark dawns." Si Yechen caressed her face. "Remember it well."
"I understand!"
Meanwhile...
"That brat even blocked you on WeChat?" Xu Aiqin looked at the message from Lu Zhenhai, and a red exclamation mark popped up. She gnashed her teeth in anger. "Raised her for eighteen years, yet she's not even worth a dog!"
"It's all because of you! I've said it before, treat her better, and look, ever since she left our home, everything's been going wrong..."
They still didn't know the true identity of her biological parents. Several corporations refused to cooperate with him. Could it be related to her biological parents?
Thinking back to the British green luxury car tonight, and the words spoken by the servant...
It felt like her family was even more formidable than theirs...
"Didn't her mother call last time? We still have her mother's contact information..."
Before Lu Zhenhai could finish speaking, Xu Aiqin said, "I thought her family was from some remote mountain village, so I deleted all contact information... None was saved."
"You... What should I even say to you?" Lu Zhenhai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Don't worry too much." Xu Aiqin had an idea. "There's a prominent figure hospitalized recently, and many influential people have visited! It's a good opportunity..."
