Qi Yan's life in the Cen's house was very nourishing. He was either playing chess and drinking tea with Cen Qiusheng, or playing with a few radishes in the Cen's family. But he was especially attracted to children, and he became the boss of the Cen's children's team. , bathed in the adoring eyes of his younger brothers and sisters every day, and he enjoyed it.
"Uncle Qi," Tuantuan in a beautiful dress stood outside the study door and asked with his head stretched out, "Can I come in?"
"Please come in, your beautiful majesty." Qi Yan put down the book in his hand, walked in front of Tuan Tuan, squatted down and looked at Tuan Tuan, "Have you come back from kindergarten so early today?"
"Well," Tuantuan's recent hobby is to transform into a queen, so when she heard Qi Yan calling her "Your Majesty," she showed a bright smile and took out two small biscuits from behind her, "The teacher said that good things should be Share, I specially keep it for you."
"Are the biscuits sent to you by the teacher?" Qi Yan took two biscuits and divided them into pieces, "We each have one?"
"Yeah!" Tuantuan nodded, lowered his head and bit the biscuits in half. It seemed that she really liked these kinds of biscuits.
Qi Yan finished eating the biscuits in two bites, and wiped the biscuits from Tuantuan's mouth with a handkerchief: "Thank you, Her Majesty, for sharing the biscuits, they are delicious."
"You're welcome, you are my knight, and you should be given half of the good things." The group patted Qi Yan's shoulder like a little adult, lying on Qi Yan's shoulder and said, "When I went to the kitchen just now to get carrots, I found Aunt Zhang crying secretly."
Aunt Zhang is a servant of the Cen family. She is usually diligent and clean. She is very patient with children. She has been a servant in the Cen family for several years, so the children of the Cen family also have some feelings for her.
"What does Her Majesty Queen Tuan Tuan want to do?" Qi Yan straightened the head of Sister Watermelon, who was a little messy on Tuan Tuan's head, to exercise her independent thinking ability, "I can be your helper."
"I gave her the Barbie doll?"
Children's thoughts are naive. They think that toys that can make them happy will bring happiness to adults. Qi Yan doesn't want to ruin the innocence of Tuantuan, and also wants to know what happened to Sister Zhang. After all, he likes it very much. The egg cakes made by Sister Zhang are unmatched by other chefs in this craft.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Master Qi, Tuan Tuan?" Aunt Zhang was picking vegetables when she saw Qi Yan leading the youngest daughter over, she stood up and wiped her hands on her apron, "It smells of soot here, why are you here?"
Seeing that Aunt Zhang still had signs of crying on her face, Qi Yan smiled and said, "Tuantuan said you were in a bad mood, so she wanted to give you her toys, hoping you would be happier."
"Thank you Tuantuan, this is too precious, I, I..." Aunt Zhang looked at this beautifully made Barbie doll, rubbing her hands on the apron, and looked at Qi Yan with a pair of bewildered eyes, not knowing what to do Just do it. But when she saw the gentle smile in Qi Yan's eyes, her mood calmed down a little. She bent down to take Barbie in Tuan Tuan's hands, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Tuantuan blinked, "Will Auntie Zhang be happier?"
"Yes," Aunt Zhang cried and laughed, "Yes."
Qi Yan touched Tuantuan's head: "Tuantuan, you go out and talk to others first, and I'll talk to Aunt Zhang, okay?"
"Well, good." Tuantuan nodded and ran out with small steps.
"It's okay?" Qi Yan took out a clean tissue and handed it to Aunt Zhang, "Did something happen at home?"
Aunt Zhang knew that she shouldn't bother Master Qi with her personal affairs, but maybe because the other party's smile was too gentle and her eyes were too tolerant, she had a desire to talk.
"Eight years ago, I divorced my ex-husband. Because I didn't have a house or a regular job, I didn't win the custody of the children," Auntie Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He has been sending things and pocket money to his children for years, but his father never let me see the children. A few years ago, I almost went to court with my ex-husband for this matter, but the grandmother of the child came to me and said that I Doing this will only make the child lose face at school and make the child unable to hold his head up. Later I figured out that as long as the ex-husband treats the child well, it doesn’t matter if I can’t see him.”
Speaking of this past, Aunt Zhang cried very sadly, and even choked up for a while: "But I didn't expect that he would believe his grandmother's words, thinking that I left him and walked away because of other men."
Hearing this, Qi Yan sighed, things like Aunt Zhang happened too much, she had suffered all the hardships, but in the end she somehow became the biggest sinner.
"Since he is so old, you can choose to tell the whole truth in front of him," Qi Yan said, "Even if he can't understand it temporarily, but he is an adult and has the ability to think independently, so he will always understand. . But if you don't say it, he may never understand your love for him."
"But he disappeared," Aunt Zhang said, and finally broke down and cried, "I only found out a few days ago that he came to work in the imperial capital last year, and he never went back. He hasn't contacted his father for a long time. I also suspect that I hid him."
"Have you called the police?"
Aunt Zhang nodded, crying hoarsely: "But the police haven't found him either. The capital is so big, I don't even know where to look for him."
It's no wonder that I haven't seen Sister Zhang for the past two days. It seems that she went out to find her son, but this kind of search is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. How is it possible to find it
Seeing her like this, Qi Yan comforted her: "Don't worry, go to the room to rest first, and I will help you find a solution."
"Thank you, Mr. Qi, thank you very much." Aunt Zhang thanked him repeatedly. At this time, Qi Yan was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for her. If it wasn't for Qi Yan pulling her, she would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Yan. Thanks.
Because of the kindness of the master, she took her in as a servant, so that she could live in peace and stability. However, she is just an ordinary person after all, with no connections or financial resources. It is really difficult to find a child by her own abilities. The Cen family has big rules. Usually, these servants can't disturb the master's family casually. Now Mr. Qi is willing to help, which is a great kindness to her.
"Money?" Cen Baihe returned home and saw Qi Yan sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze. He walked up to him and sat down, "What's the matter?"
"I'm thinking about a very serious issue."
"What's the problem?" Cen Baihe handed the briefcase and coat to the servant, "What's for dinner tonight?"
"I'm such an unmotivated person?" Qi Yan bumped Cen Baihe with his elbow, "I was thinking, if someone wanted to do something bad to your family, would they start with your housemaid? ?"
Cen Baihe's expression became serious: "What happened at home?"
"It's nothing, I'm just making up my mind," Qi Yan glanced at the clock on the wall, "By the way, my uncle said he's going to have a party with old friends tonight, and he won't eat with us." What he didn't tell Cen Baihe was , The way my uncle has looked at him in the past two days has occasionally been a little strange.
He even wondered if he had lived in the Cen's house for too long and was a bit annoying. But his uncle's attitude towards him was not very similar, instead he became more enthusiastic, so he was a little confused.
"Five young masters, Miss Yuan is here."
"Which Miss Yuan?" Cen Baihe remembered that Yuan Chongan had sons, daughters and granddaughters, and there were quite a few people in the imperial capital who were called Miss Yuan.
"Miss Yuan Xiaoxi." Seeing that Fifth Young Master had no impression of this person, the housekeeper whispered, "Yuan Hengyu's only daughter, she came to talk to Master Qi about something."
Cen Baihe frowned and turned to look at Qi Yan: "Qian Qian, Yuan Hengyu's daughter wants to see us, will you?"
"As a man, how can you keep girls out of the house? You still have to meet them once," Qi Yan raised her eyebrows, "otherwise, how would we know what she wanted to say."
"You are quite graceful." Cen Baihe lowered his head and flipped through the newspaper on the table twice, "Lianxiangxiyu?"
"If you have something to make it clear, it's useless to hang like this," Qi Yan didn't pay attention to Cen Bohe's expression, and put his hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, no matter how much I pity Xiangxiyu, it's also important to my brother."
Cen Baihe smiled noncommittally, and pulled down Qi Yan's hand on his shoulder, "Then let's listen to what this fragrant jade has to say first."
Qi Yan squinted at Cen Baihe, why does he seem to think that something is wrong with Bai He
Yuan Xiaoxi was prepared that Qi Yan would not see her, but what she didn't expect was that she only stood outside the gate for a while before someone came to bring her in.
The Cen family's villa area is very large. She was anxious to see Qi Yan, and felt that the road leading to the villa and residential house was extremely long, so long that she panicked.
"Miss Yuan, please come in." On the steps of the door of the house, a middle-aged man in a neat suit stood. He gave Yuan Xiaoxi a proper smile, "Please."
"Thank you." Yuan Xiaoxi squeezed the bag in her hand, took a deep breath, and stepped into the door.
"Cen, Fifth Master Cen..." Yuan Xiaoxi took a few steps. After seeing Cen Baihe, most of her courage disappeared. At this time, why is Fifth Master Cen at home? She specifically inquired that Fifth Master Cen had an important meeting today, and he should be in the company now.
"Miss Yuan, please take a seat," Qi Yan seemed to have not seen Yuan Xiaoxi's gaffe, raised his hand and motioned her to sit down, "What would you like to drink?"
"The juice is good, thank you." Yuan Xiaoxi picked a seat a little farther from Cen Baihe and sat down, and squeezed the bag in her hand even tighter. It's strange to say that Cen Baihe has such an outstanding appearance, so many girls should fall in love with him, but in fact many girls don't dare to get too close to him, and they don't dare to take the initiative to talk to him.
Cen Baihe leaned back with the newspaper, his slender legs were put together, and he was indescribably lazy. He also told Qi Yan and Yuan Xiaoxi with actions that he would sit here and listen quietly and would not leave.
Qi Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Yuan Xiaoxi was a little hard to say. Could it be that Fifth Master Cen didn't know that she made a special trip to find Master Qi, so she just sat here and listened to them
Otherwise it would be too rude.
