"You can't protect him. Please leave him to me."
This sentence kept repeating in Xin Qing's mind until Song Chunli spoke again. "Miss Xin, I'm not taking Xiao Rui away now. He's safer with you."
Xin Qing heaved a sigh of relief. So, she was just trying to scare her.
"I know. He's being used as an experiment." Xin Qing sat back in her chair. Since Song Chunli knew about it, it was better to sound her out first. She wanted to know if the Jiang family really wanted a grandson and not a test subject.
Song Chunli suddenly burst into tears. "My poor child!"
When Xiao Rui's mother was pregnant with him, she was framed and injected with some kind of drug by mistake. The Jiang family was furious when they found out, and the entire military region was wiped out.
Although Xin Qing did not pay much attention to politics, she had seen the news back then. During that time, a large number of high-ranking military officials were removed from their positions, and the country reorganized the central military power. Now that she thought about it, it was because of this incident.
"We were always on tenterhooks. We didn't know if Xiao Rui would survive. Later, when he was born, we found that there were some changes in his genes. But at that time, all we wanted was for the child to live a healthy life." Song Chunli wiped her tears and continued.
"When he was two years old, our family went on a vacation. Halfway through, we heard that they were missing. We sent people to look for them, but in the end, we only found the bodies of my son and daughter-in-law …" Song Chunli suddenly covered her mouth and burst into tears. The tragic state of her son and daughter-in-law was a nightmare that she would never forget.
Xin Qing's eyes were also red. She understood Song Chunli's feelings. "Auntie Song, it's all in the past. My condolences."
"We didn't dare to look for Xiao Rui openly because all the signs pointed to him being the target. Obviously, my son and daughter-in-law hid the child when the accident happened. "
Song Chunli calmed down and looked at Xin Qing. "Miss Xin, now you know how dangerous it is. If those people find Xiao Rui, I'm afraid you'll be implicated with their cruel methods …"
"Auntie Song." Xin Qing interrupted her. "He's been my son ever since I adopted him. As a mother, it's my duty to protect my child."
Song Chunli nodded. "Miss Xin, you are a good person. My son has good taste!"
"Qianren and I are just friends!" Xin Qing said hurriedly.
"I know!" Song Chunli smiled. "He's the one who doesn't have the fortune. Now, can we talk about Xiao Rui's problem?"
In the end, Xin Qing and Song Chunli came to an agreement. Xiao Rui would continue to stay by Xin Qing's side, and Song Chunli could visit him as an elder whom Xin Qing knew. Before the child grew up, such protection was the most appropriate.
At the same time, Song Chunli would tell Jiang Qianren about it just in case. In this way, when she came to Xin Qing to take care of the children in the future, the public would not suspect anything. However, in this way, the rumors about Xin Qing and Jiang Qianren would spread even more fiercely.
Xin Qing told Song Chunli about how she met Xiao Rui and how special Xiao Rui was. Song Chunli listened attentively. Xin Qing could tell that Song Chunli really wanted to acknowledge this grandson. When they parted, Song Chunli told Xin Qing that Xiao Rui's name was Jiang Moyun.
This name could not be used for the time being. To the public, Xiao Rui's surname was Ying, but his full name at Caesar Academy was Ying Rui.
After parting with Song Chunli, Xin Qing felt a mixture of emotions. The world was so big, but so small at the same time. She thought that Xiao Rui would be her son for the rest of her life, but then his family appeared right under her nose.
However, this did not affect Xin Qing's feelings for Xiao Rui. Just as she said, from the day she adopted Xiao Rui, he was Ying Qingcang's and her own child. Whether or not he returned to the Jiang family in the future would not change this fact.
The only thing that gave Xin Qing a headache was this relationship. It was destined that she would not be able to cut ties with Jiang Qianren. Jiang Qianren acted quickly as well. Within a few days, he had come to see her.
"Is the child... well?" Jiang Qianren had met Xiao Rui once, but he did not remember what his elder brother looked like when he was younger. Therefore, he did not pay much attention to the child. Now that he suddenly found out that he had a nephew, he was still not used to it.
However, this way, he could rightfully come to see Xin Qing in the future!
Xin Qing looked at him and said irritably, "What kind of uncle are you? You can't even recognize your own family. "
"My brother and I are ten years apart. I don't even know what he looked like when he was younger." Jiang Qianren felt wronged. "If Xiao Rui grows up to look like my brother, I will definitely recognize him!"
"When he comes back after the summer break, I will arrange for Aunt Song to meet him." Xin Qing looked at him and warned, "You know that, right? He is different from ordinary people. Don't make it too obvious when the time comes. He is very smart."
Jiang Qianren nodded. When his mother came, she said that he would do whatever Xin Qing said in the future. She also told him that according to his current identity, Xin Qing was his sister. He should just give up!
This made Jiang Qianren very depressed. However, after he got over it, he did not care. As long as they could see each other often, he would still have a chance!
"What is so special about Xiao Rui?" Jiang Qianren was very curious. He was very interested in this.
Xin Qing thought for a moment and said, "He is a human-shaped radar."
What was that? Jiang Qianren was stunned. Xin Qing asked him, "It has been so many years. Have you not found the murderer who killed your brother and sister-in-law?"
After she said that, Xin Qing felt that the man sitting across from her had changed. In an instant, she felt a murderous aura.
"When the accident happened, I was on a mission. I rushed back on the day of the cremation." His gaze was as cold as a wolf's. He stared into the distance. "My brother was skinned alive. The forensic doctor said that he was still alive when he was skinned."
Xin Qing shuddered. "What a cruel method..." she thought.
"And my sister-in-law …" Jiang Qianren clenched his fists. "She was tortured to death. She was …"
Bang! He slammed his fist on the table. "I went on any mission, no matter how dangerous it was. For the sake of military merit, for the sake of reaching a higher position as soon as possible, I have never relaxed all these years. Only when I reach a higher position will I have the ability to investigate what happened back then. One day, I will tear those people into pieces! "
Xin Qing rubbed her eyes and patted him on the hand. "You definitely will!"
No wonder Song Chunli was so emotional when she talked about Xiao Rui's parents. How did she get through it when she saw the tragic state her son and daughter-in-law were in? No wonder the Jiang family cared so much about Xiao Rui. This child was protected by his parents with their lives!
"Qianren!" After thinking it through, Xin Qing smiled and said, "I will find a chance to tell Xiao Rui and let him acknowledge his ancestors!"
Jiang Qianren had calmed down. He picked up his wine and downed it in one gulp. "Thank you for representing the Jiang family!"
The two of them met at a members-only restaurant. They thought it was a safe place, but they were still photographed by a reporter and published in the newspaper the next day.
"You're two-timing me. That's not right!" Monica flung the newspaper in front of her.
Zhang Mi said indignantly, "How is that two-timing? Xin Qing is single now. She has the right to be with anyone. I think Jiang Qianren is a good guy! "
"It's just a meal. Do you have to be like this?" Xin Qing said as she flipped through the documents. "If you have time to chat, why don't you go see if the plan for the karst hot spring has been finalized? It will open for business on National Day."
She had not told them about Xiao Rui and the Jiang family. Xin Qing wanted to ask for Ying Qingcang's opinion, but she had not had a chance to see him recently. But... she smiled inwardly. The gossip about her and Jiang Qianren in the newspaper should have triggered someone!
Someone was indeed throwing the newspaper into the trash can and then sitting in the meeting room with a sullen face. The managers were trembling in fear, wondering what was wrong with their big boss. Although he usually kept a straight face, today he was not only stone-faced but also emitting cold air.
Finally, the meeting was over. Everyone left without a moment's pause. Only the secretary followed Ying Qingcang with a bitter face.
"Boss, Miss Rong just called to say that she won't be coming back tonight. She wants to play cards."
Ying Qingcang paused in his steps. The corner of his mouth lifted into a half-smile. "Got it."
Siman Rong was lying naked on the hotel bed, listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom. She had met this man in the bar two days ago. He was a model who had just debuted.
"What are you thinking about?" She did not know when the man had gotten on the bed, but his hands were roaming all over her body.
Siman Rong was dazed for a moment. The man's facial features were very handsome, and he exuded a cold aura. But it was this aura that attracted her deeply. Because... he looked like Ying Qingcang, like a 20-year-old Ying Qingcang!
"Do you really want to go to the island with me for a vacation?" Siman Rong panted and wrapped her arms around the man's neck. The man rolled onto the bed. "Why? Don't you want to go with me?"
Siman Rong allowed the man to do whatever he wanted to her. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes! We'll leave tomorrow! "
Ying Qingcang went back that night and saw Siman Rong packing her luggage.
"A Cang! A few ladies have invited me to the Great Barrier Reef for a vacation. Do you want to go with them? "Siman Rong was stunned when she saw Ying Qingcang come back. For a moment, she seemed to have replaced the man she had been with in the afternoon with Ying Qingcang.
Unfortunately, that was not the case. Ying Qingcang would never sleep with her, much less love her madly and call her baby...
It was not bad to have a substitute. Because of this thought, Siman Rong agreed to go on a vacation with the man.
"A vacation?" Ying Qingcang looked at her. "So sudden?"
"Oh, it was just a last-minute decision when we were playing cards!" Siman Rong shook his arm. "If you don't want me to go, I won't go!"
Ying Qingcang smiled. "Go ahead. I'm so busy. It's rare for someone to go with you. Have fun!"
"Then I'll go by myself?"
Ying Qingcang nodded. "Go on vacation for a few more days."
Siman Rong packed her luggage and left. Ying Qingcang stood in front of the French window for a long time. He touched the ring that had appeared on his finger out of nowhere. The ring was exactly the same as the one Xin Qing was wearing.
Boss Wan's face appeared in the air. Ying Qingcang nodded at him. Then, the two of them smiled and ended the call.
