"That's great. I'll have to teach you a lot of things these few days. Thank you for your hard work." Shen Qianqian came back to her senses after being in a daze for a while.
Shen Qianqian still had seven days of holiday. In order to help Xiao Kong pass the kindergarten interview, she had to give him a lot of lessons in these seven days.
As Xiao Kong was illiterate, Shen Qianqian had to change her strategy.
She would teach Xiao Kong how to read tonight and teach Xiao Kong how to recite poems the next day.
However, she found that Xiao Kong was very receptive. He could remember many words after being taught once.
Shen Qianqian wanted to try Xiao Kong again, so she picked a poem and taught Xiao Kong how to recite it.
"The grass on the plains withered and flourished with each passing year. The wildfire couldn't burn it down, but it grew again when the spring breeze blew. The flowers from afar invaded the ancient road, connecting the green to the barren city, and sending the prince's grandson away.
Shen Qianqian picked a slightly longer ancient poem, but Xiao Kong didn't disappoint her.
Xiao Kong remembered it completely after only reading it two or three times. Although he didn't really understand the meaning of the poem, he could recite it word for word.
Xiao Kong waited proudly for Shen Qianqian's praise after reciting the poem. "Mom, I'm awesome, right?"
"Yes, you're really awesome." Shen Qianqian couldn't compare to Xiao Kong's photographic memory. If she had such a memory when she was in school, she would be a very successful career woman now.
"Mom will teach you some more arithmetic. Let's end today's lesson, okay?"
Looking at Xiao Kong's situation, he should be able to end the mission early. Shen Qianqian discussed with Xiao Kong, and Xiao Kong agreed happily.
"Okay. Xiao Kong only knows simple counting and addition now," Xiao Kong said honestly.
Shen Qianqian held Xiao Kong in her arms and looked at the tablet. "It's okay. Mommy will teach you."
Xiao Kong's learning was going well. Shen Qianqian followed her promise and found the animation "Thomas and His Friends" for Xiao Kong. Then, she said to him, "Xiao Kong, you watch it here. Mom will prepare the bath water for you."
Shen Qianqian went back to the spacious bedroom and opened the box in the wardrobe. She wanted to tidy up her clothes and find a big bath towel for Xiao Kong.
However, Shen Qianqian flipped through it twice and suddenly froze.
Under the big box of clothes, there was a big pile of cash. Shen Qianqian quickly took it out and counted it. There were actually 20 bundles.
"Two hundred thousand? It doesn't look like Mother Liu did it. " Shen Qianqian was stunned. When that cold face appeared in her mind, she quickly shook her head and tried to get rid of this thought.
Impossible. Why would Gu Hecheng care about her life and death? Why would he secretly give her money? Shen Qianqian, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly lowered her hands. She was a little confused. If it wasn't Gu Hecheng, who would be so generous to give her two hundred thousand?
Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang.
Shen Qianqian looked down subconsciously. It was a message from He Yijia.
"This public kindergarten is very good. Take a look." He Yijia sent the kindergarten's information over.
Shen Qianqian's slender fingers slowly swiped across the screen. Just as she was reading seriously, Xiao Kong's soft and cute voice came from outside.
"Mom, I've finished watching the episode."
"Mom will come over soon." Shen Qianqian, who finally reacted, quickly put the phone aside and hurriedly put the money back into the box. She took a bath towel for Xiao Kong and came out.
"Mom will help you bathe." Shen Qianqian took Xiao Kong's hand into the bathroom and filled a big basin with hot water.
"Xiao Kong, take off your clothes first." Shen Qianqian picked up a basket beside her and put the small toys into the basin.
"Mom, what are these little ducks and fish for?" Xiao Kong looked curiously at Shen Qianqian's actions.
"These are for Xiao Kong to play with." Shen Qianqian looked at the naked Xiao Kong and couldn't help laughing. She let him sit in the water. "Xiao Kong, you soak for a while. I'll get a towel."
Xiao Kong played with Shen Qianqian so happily for the first time. Even though the bathroom was full of water and bubbles, Shen Qianqian was not angry at all.
"Okay, okay." Shen Qianqian took the towel and let Xiao Kong stand up. "You've been playing for a long time. Don't catch a cold."
Shen Qianqian dried Xiao Kong's body and coaxed him to sleep.
The frost-like moonlight fell on the ground. Shen Qianqian looked at the information sent by He Yijia for a while. She turned off the phone, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She remembered that when He Yijia left just now, she looked into his affectionate eyes and rejected him fiercely.
"I'm very happy now that I have Xiao Kong and I have a fulfilling job. I don't want to think about other things for the time being. I don't care if you think I'm tired or deliberately avoiding you. Anyway, don't think about me."
Even Shen Qianqian felt that her words were very heartless. However, He Yijia's eyes only trembled slightly. He just smiled and said, "It's okay. I understand."
He Yijia's back was still lingering in Shen Qianqian's mind. In the quiet bedroom, a sudden ringtone startled her.
Shen Qianqian was afraid that she would wake up Xiao Kong, so she quickly picked up the phone.
Seeing that it was Mother Liu calling, she got up, walked to the balcony, closed the door, and picked up the phone.
"Madam, you finally picked up the phone. That's great." Mother Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little worried when Shen Qianqian didn't pick up the phone. "I didn't have time to call you these two days. It's my fault."
"Sir has been in a bad mood these few days. He's either making me cook soup at home or staying at home all the time. I'm either busy or scared every day."
Mother Liu also complained. However, Shen Qianqian felt very warm and touched when she heard it.
Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "Mother Liu, I'm very happy that you called to care about me."
"By the way, I'm divorced. You don't have to call me Madam anymore. Just call me Qianqian." Shen Qianqian smiled slightly.
For the past five years, she could only feel warmth from Mother Liu. She felt just like her mother, so she cherished this relationship with Mother Liu very much.
"Everything is fine now, right?" Mother Liu asked with concern. After all, they were at the Gu Family's villa. Mother Liu was very careful with her words and did not mention anything related to Xiao Kong.
Shen Qianqian nodded. "Yes, everything is fine. Xiao Kong has also been discharged from the hospital. He's asleep now."
"I'm going to send Xiao Kong to kindergarten." Shen Qianqian told her her recent plans.
"That's what you should do." Mother Liu sighed like an old mother.
"Mother Liu, you can come over when you're free. Xiao Kong must miss you very much."
"Okay, I'll definitely go when I'm free."
It was dusk outside the apartment balcony. The streetlights in the distance were still on, and the shadows of the tree branches swayed slightly on the ground.
Shen Qianqian suddenly said, "Oh yes, who packed my luggage?"
Mother Liu was stunned. "I packed it. What's wrong? Is there a problem? Or did you not bring anything? "
Hearing Mother Liu's words, it seemed that she knew nothing about the money in the suitcase. Shen Qianqian continued to ask, "Did no one touch my suitcase?"
Mother Liu thought for a while. "I went out for a while after packing. When I came back, I saw Sir pushing the suitcase. What's wrong?"
The cold night wind blew. Shen Qianqian gathered her clothes and hesitated for a while. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Mother Liu hung up the phone strangely. Just as she got up from the sofa, she was so shocked that she almost threw her phone away.
Gu Hecheng was standing right behind her, and she did not even realize it.
"S-Sir?" Mother Liu gripped her phone tightly. She felt that she could not breathe.
Fortunately, she did not mention Xiao Kong. But why didn't Sir make any sound when he walked?
Seeing Mother Liu panic, as if she had been caught red-handed, Gu Hecheng loosened his sleeves, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Shen Qianqian?"
Mother Liu was so nervous that her lips turned pale. Gu Hecheng smiled coldly. "She's divorced now and is satisfied. She must be secretly happy somewhere, right?"
Gu Hecheng felt as if a knife was stabbing at his heart. It made him very uncomfortable.
He glanced coldly at Mother Liu. Without another word, he went upstairs.
Seeing Gu Hecheng go upstairs, Mother Liu clutched her chest and turned to leave. However, just as Mother Liu thought that the matter would be over easily, Gu Hecheng suddenly put down his spoon while eating breakfast the next morning and asked, "Do you know where Shen Qianqian lives now?"
Mother Liu froze and turned around. "I don't know."
Gu Hecheng looked up and fixed his sharp gaze on Auntie Liu's face. It was obvious that he did not fully believe her words.
Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "Sir, I really don't know."
"Didn't she say anything when I called her yesterday?" Gu Hecheng did not know why he had to ask again and again.
Mother Liu swallowed nervously and said, "She didn't say anything."
Looking at Mother Liu's nervous expression, it did not seem like she was lying. Gu Hecheng lowered his head and suddenly smiled coldly. "That's right. Why would she be willing to tell you? Successfully getting rid of me is probably the least regretful thing in her life. Great, now she can be with He Yijia. "
Mother Liu, who was standing next to them, hurriedly explained on behalf of Shen Qianqian when she heard this. "No, Madam isn't with Mr. He."
"No? Even if she was, would she tell you? "Gu Hecheng sneered.
"Madam isn't that kind of person," Mother Liu explained. "You don't even know how much Madam loved you in the past. I believe that Madam must be very sad to divorce you."
"In the past?" What a harsh word.
Sad? Why couldn't he tell at all?
He still remembered Shen Qianqian's face when she came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Her face was clearly filled with happiness and anticipation for the future.
Gu Hecheng frowned slightly and suddenly scolded sternly, "Don't call her that in front of me in the future. She doesn't deserve it!"
