Chapter 131 Kill Shen Qingrong and then talk to me (1)

Just like his daughter said, her spiritual power, apart from the fact that she cultivated it every day in the bracelet according to the method given by her mother, was all grown by the love points they gave her.

Qiao Changdong carefully observed the expressions of the mother and son, wanting to see just how much they loved his daughter.

However, after observing them for a while, he still couldn't discern anything unusual about them.

Qiao Changdong carried Qiao Qiao over and sat down on the sofa first, with Qiao Qiao sitting on his lap.

As they had agreed beforehand, they planned to first probe the background of these two people.

Qiao Qiao pretended not to know the two people.

She obediently sat on Qiao Changdong's lap, the back of her head nestled against his chest.

Like an ordinary child, she curiously observed Shen Qingyan and Yan Liti, but then, out of shyness, she would hide shyly in Qiao Changdong's arms after a while, occasionally stealing a glance.

The little one is so beautiful and adorable.

Especially her timid and shy appearance as she nestled in someone's arms, peeking at them, almost melted Yan Liti's heart.

She warned Shen Qingyan not to frighten the child.

He couldn't help but take a few steps over, but stopped abruptly under the little girl's questioning and wary gaze.

She stared greedily at the little girl, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

Finally, he could only stammer, "My... this... child... is... so... beautiful."

yes.

How can it be so beautiful?

Yan Lidi thought to herself, "No wonder Xiao Jun gave birth to her!"

"Hey, everyone, sit down!" Xiang Dongyan said, trying to smooth things over, seeing that the atmosphere was awkward and strange, with everyone except Qiao Changdong standing still.

At the same time, he called out twice towards the kitchen, "Sister Yang, bring some fruit over."

“Yes, everyone, please tell us what’s going on.” Meng Zhengcheng agreed, sitting down next to Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao, while keeping Yan Liti, who was trying to get closer, at bay.

Before determining the "attributes" of the mother and child, he, as the uncle, consciously acted as a human wall.

Shen Qingyan was not usually a very talkative person.

This time, Qiao Qiao's words left him even more speechless.

He pursed his thin lips, his usually cold and emotionless eyes fixed on the small body nestled dependently in someone else's arms, unwilling to look away.

His gaze was incredibly gentle.

Yan Liti couldn't get enough of looking at Qiao Qiao. When Yang Ma brought out a plate with apples, bananas, oranges and other fruits, she didn't even need to greet Dong Yan. She went over first, took a big, red orange, peeled it, and handed it to Qiao Qiao.

But Qiao Qiao glanced at her and didn't take it.

Qiao Changdong bent down and took a medium-sized, green-skinned tangerine, then put it in the little girl's hand.

This orange is a different variety from the one Yan Liti chose.

This orange is a local specialty of Hongfeng Town; in their local dialect, it's called a "sweet cone."

As the name suggests, this orange has no sour taste at all once it is ripe.

Compared to the soft texture of regular tangerines, its flesh is firmer, somewhat like an orange.

It doesn't even have a sour taste.

Even if the skin is green, it will be sweet once it's ripe.

Besides inheriting the Qiao family's love for spicy food, Qiao Qiao has always had a particular fondness for sweet things.

As for sour foods, she can't eat any of them. It's not a big deal if she does eat them, but she'll get a shiver easily.

The Pei family's live-in nanny was very thoughtful; she had already made two cross-shaped cuts on the orange peel, and Qiao Qiao easily pried a hole out with her thumb.

Then, following that hole, peel the skin down little by little.

She treated this peeling of skin as a job, peeling it with exceptional seriousness, without even lifting her eyelids.

They seemed completely uninterested in the sudden appearance of a pair of strangers.

But only Qiao Changdong and Meng Zhengcheng, who were close by, could clearly see her small ears, which were hidden under her wispy hair and twitching from time to time.

Meng Zhengcheng almost burst out laughing when he recalled how this little guy used to twitch his little ears like this, listening to the Chen sisters' private conversations.

He put his hand to his mouth, cleared his throat, and then said seriously, "Alright, everyone here is one of us, there are no outsiders. Let's talk things out here."

He looked at the mother and son opposite him: "How did you find this place? Why did it take you so long to find it? What do you want to do now?"

Being a police officer, Meng Zhengcheng asked three questions in a row, thus getting to the heart of the matter at this meeting.

Not being favored by her granddaughter, Yan Liti put down the orange in her hand with a little disappointment.

She glanced at Shen Qingyan, who was only staring at his granddaughter and whose mouth was like a clam shell, not knowing how to open or close, and took the initiative to act as the spokesperson for this "diplomacy".

In the Shen family's version.

Shen Qingyan and Long Yijun registered their marriage five years ago, but according to Long Yijun's wishes, they did not announce it to the public.

Long Yijun was a person without a job, identity, or status. It was Yan Lidi who found her a distant relative's niece identity in her family so that she could successfully report and register her marriage with Shen Qingyan.

After Shen Qingyan and Long Yijun got married.

Although the young couple often bickered and teased each other—well, of course, this bickering and teasing refers to Long Yijun unilaterally hitting Shen Qingyan—they still lived a pretty harmonious and happy life.

However, about four and a half years ago, Long Yijun and Shen Qingyan had a fierce conflict.

In a fit of anger, Long Yijun ran away from home.

After that, Shen Qingyan couldn't find her.

Therefore, they did not know that Long Yijun had run away from home while pregnant, nor did they know that after giving birth, Long Yijun left them a letter informing them of Qiao Qiao's identity and whereabouts.

As for why we only found out now, and how we found out...

Yan Liti glanced at the little girl in Qiao Changdong's arms, then looked at the people in the living room, and said nothing.

The reason for not telling is also for Long Yijun's safety.

They are not sure if these people are trustworthy. Long Yijun's identity is very special. Although neither she nor Shen Qingyan knows her specific background.

But it was clear that she was not from their world.

However, only she and Shen Qingyan knew about this in the family; even their old man didn't know.

Therefore, it was even less likely that she would tell them about Long Yijun's superpowers, such as being able to send messages in dreams, enter dreams, and send messages from afar.

She only vaguely said, "Something went wrong. The letter was taken away. We found out about it about two weeks ago."

“We know this is all our responsibility. Besides the exact address mentioned in the letter, we also have a token; Xiaojun said there's a bracelet…”

"The letter was taken by Shen Qingrong, wasn't it?" Qiao Changdong raised his head at this moment, interrupting her.

The question is phrased as an interrogative sentence, but the tone is affirmative.
