Although Little Youjin couldn't go anywhere, he was still very happy that he had a new environment and everything was new.
He looked at the interior of the cafe. It was different from home. It was very fresh.
He got tired of looking at the interior of the cafe and turned to look at the scenery outside the window. Little Youjin looked at the people and cars passing by outside the window. Surprisingly, she was very interested in it.
Ruan Danchen ordered a piece of chocolate cake for Qi Youxuan. Little Youjin watched Qi Youxuan eat happily and stared at him with his big eyes. Qi Youxuan, the little foodie, felt embarrassed.
He took off the chocolate label on the cake and asked shyly, "Little Brother, do you want some?"
Little Youjin squealed happily. He grabbed the chocolate label and licked it happily.
The chocolate label was only the size of a thumb, so Song Yu wasn't worried and let him lick it. Soon, his soft little fingers were covered in melted chocolate.
Song Yu saw that he was almost done and ate the rest himself. He wiped Little Youjin's hands clean.
At this time, Qi Chengzhi also called and said that they had finished their work.
Song Yu and the others brought the child into the company. Before Qi Chengzhi and Cheng Dongge came down, they saw Qi Chenglin and a woman standing in the hall.
Qi Chenglin had a cold and indifferent look on his face. He would only respond with one or two sentences occasionally. The woman behaved naturally and was not arrogant or impatient. She didn't back down because of Qi Chenglin's indifference, but she didn't act too impatient either.
"Hey, isn't that Shen Man?" Qi Chengyue turned to look at Song Yu. "Didn't she seduce Big Brother before? Is Big Brother making a move on Second Brother again? "
Ruan Danchen had seen Shen Man on TV many times. She wasn't familiar with her, but she didn't like her hosting skills. Ruan Danchen once watched the opening ceremony of a film festival with Song Yu at home. Shen Man was the red carpet host. At that time, Song Yu hadn't gotten together with Qi Chengzhi yet.
It was an international film festival held in China, but many Hollywood stars came to walk the red carpet. Some of the more famous stars had to be interviewed by the host after walking the red carpet and signing the contract. The more popular they were, the longer the interview time.
When they met a foreign star, they naturally had to interview him in English.
Ruan Danchen had once complained to Song Yu, "Just what kind of background does Shen Man have? What benefits did she give her? Every time there's a large-scale film festival or award ceremony, she's the one hosting it. Unfortunately, the host isn't that good. Her English isn't good either. Her English isn't good either. It's standard Chinglish. Tell me, this is the highest-level TV station. It can't be justified for a female host to be of this standard. "
"Didn't you watch the news a few days ago? It's dirty inside too. "That was what Song Yu had said at the time.
It was just like celebrities. Those who caught the eye were indeed good people, and people liked them. Some people were able to see the inside of a person from the outside. Even if they didn't know her, they wouldn't like her.
Later on, there was news of Shen Man dating some rich businessman. Female anchors and hosts who were beautiful and had a certain social status were the targets that rich businessmen liked to pursue.
Because of Shen Man's workplace, she didn't dare to do anything with a married man openly. Even if she did, she had to do it secretly. For example, there was a famous female anchor from her workplace who was also rumored to be dating a married woman. However, she refused to admit it. Later on, after the man got a divorce, he got together with that female anchor openly.
At this moment, seeing Qi Chenglin standing together with Shen Man and hearing Qi Chengyue's words, Ruan Danchen wasn't worried at all.
However, the little fellow was watching from the side. Afraid that Ruan Danchen would misunderstand, he muttered softly, "This man is really unreliable. I didn't keep an eye on him and he ended up getting another woman."
Although his voice was soft, Ruan Danchen, Song Yu, and Qi Chengyue heard him.
The three of them: "…"
"Daddy!" In the next second, the little fellow suddenly shouted. He let go of Ruan Danchen's hand and ran over first.
Little Youjin, who had been in Song Yu's arms, cried out anxiously when she saw her brother running away. Her two little hands stretched out in Qi Youxuan's direction. "Yiya … Yiya …"
Ruan Danchen followed first. Song Yu carried little Youjin and followed. Seeing that her mother was walking rather quickly, little Youjin finally stopped throwing a tantrum.
Before Ruan Danchen reached Qi Chenglin, she saw Qi Youxuan hugging Qi Chenglin's arm. His little face was especially serious as he said, "Daddy, you have to keep at least a meter away from women who are interested in you. How can half a meter be enough?"
She didn't know if Qi Chenglin was playing along on purpose, but on the surface, he really seemed to be pulled back two steps by Qi Youxuan. He maintained a distance of one meter away from Shen Man.
Shen Man instantly felt awkward. She did have some intentions, but she didn't want to snatch Qi Chenglin over to her. She knew that this kind of thinking was unrealistic.
In her working environment, she usually came into contact with many rich people. They were rich, had status, and had power. Regardless of whether they were single or married, they would all play along.
They liked women who knew their place and wouldn't cling to them tightly. Everyone would take what they needed. They were willing to give their women love and would pamper them when they were together. They didn't mind helping their women achieve some achievements. As for these women, they didn't need to ask for more. They didn't need to challenge the position of the man in the family. They didn't need to ask for a divorce. They were also willing to give a lot of things.
What Shen Man wanted was what these men were willing to give. That was enough. She also knew that if she was too greedy, she would get nothing in the end.
She was like a celebrity who couldn't be made famous, but there were still rich people behind her who were willing to invest in her and make her the female lead.
And that was how she got her current position. Even though there were reports that she had an intimate relationship with a married man, there was no evidence, so she didn't admit to it. Even if it was photographed, she only said that it was a normal interaction between friends. Therefore, even her work unit couldn't do anything to her.
In fact, the TV station was just turning a blind eye to it. They were clear about what was happening inside.
The television station didn't make a lot of money, but it had a good reputation. Especially those who could enter Channel C, they were already standing at the top of the country. They were famous, and their reputation was much better than that of female celebrities.
Moreover, the nature of the work made it convenient for Shen Man to get to know elites from all walks of life.
She had been with a few before. Some were older, and some were young. If she had been with the older ones for a long time, the younger ones would be greedy for novelty and would break up with her after a while.
Moreover, she was old now, and her range of choices was really not wide.
Last year, she suffered a setback with Qi Chengzhi, so she didn't try to stick to Qi Chengzhi again. Now that she had the opportunity to meet Qi Chenglin at work, she didn't ask for anything else.
It was just that recently, a senior in the television station was going to England to further his studies, and that senior was together with a very famous businessman. Everyone knew that the man had a family, but now he was asking for a divorce because of that senior. She was going to England now just to avoid the limelight. When she came back, she could publicly announce their relationship.
Shen Man had her eyes on a program left behind by that senior. That program had a very good reputation, and its ratings were among the top in the television station. No matter who took over, the audience might not be used to it at first, but after all, with such a huge foundation, it would be very easy to go up a level.
Shen Man wanted to fight for this program. Recently, because of her work, she had frequent contact with Qi Chenglin, so she wanted to use Qi Chenglin to achieve her goal.
If she had Qi Chenglin's help, not only with this program, but also in other areas would be more like a fish in water.
She wasn't like those women. She didn't covet Qi Chenglin's status, wouldn't ruin his marriage, and wouldn't pester him. As long as she used the opportunity of work to win Qi Chenglin's favor, and let him know that she was a woman who knew her limits and was capable, she believed that he wouldn't mind helping her a little more.
After all, she was also famous now. Bringing her to some drinking parties would definitely allow him to get twice the results with half the effort.
Shen Man felt that a woman like Chang Jingqiu was neither high nor low. She liked Qi Chenglin but was unwilling to just be a lover. This kind of mentality would definitely not succeed.
Looking down at the little boy in front of her who was on guard against her, Shen Man was natural and unrestrained. She didn't reveal her thoughts, as if she had been misunderstood by Qi Youxuan.
"You're Youxuan, right?" Shen Man waved at Qi Youxuan and smiled extraordinarily sweetly. "You look so cute."
"Of course, I'm Daddy and Mommy's child!" The little boy stuck out his small chest and said proudly, "Auntie, although you're not as pretty as my mother, there's still hope for plastic surgery. It's okay."
Shen Man saw his comforting expression, as if he was really worried that she would feel inferior. Although she knew that he was a child and told herself not to lower herself to this little fatty's level, she couldn't help but smile.
"Youxuan, you've misunderstood. I only have a working relationship with Mr. Qi," Shen Man said with a gentle smile.
"Of course it's just a working relationship." Qi Youxuan's expression of "what else do you want to have a relationship with" directly made Shen Man feel suffocated and unable to come out.
Then, Qi Youxuan ignored her and turned to wave at Ruan Danchen. "Mommy, come quickly. Even if Daddy doesn't like anyone else except you, don't be so careless!"
Ruan Danchen: "…"
Even if there weren't many people in the company during the holidays, there were still people!
How could she still be human after being called by the little boy like this!
Qi Chenglin flicked the little boy's forehead with a faint smile and turned to calmly say to Shen Man, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry. He's young and straightforward."
Shen Man: "…"
Outspoken your sister! Shouldn't she say that he was talking nonsense?
If she said straightforward, didn't she say that what Qi Youxuan said was true?
Even if she really had such intentions, as a man being pursued, it wasn't good for him to shamelessly admit it!
Moreover, Qi Chenglin didn't deliberately lower his voice, so many people must have pricked up their ears and heard it. Shen Man felt a little embarrassed and could only laugh dryly.
"Naughty." Ruan Danchen finally walked over, held the little boy's shoulder and gently squeezed it.
"Miss Shen, I'm sorry, my son is a little naughty." Ruan Danchen smiled softly.
"Mrs. Qi, you know me?" Shen Man's eyes flashed with pride.
"Yes, I often see you in the entertainment news." Ruan Danchen smiled.
Shen Man: "…"
She also knew what kind of situation she was in when she appeared in the entertainment news. Wasn't it just her meeting with some rich businessman for a meal or something?
Looking at Ruan Danchen again, she felt that this pure and gentle woman didn't seem as harmless as she looked.
Shen Man sneered inwardly. Yes, if she was really harmless, how could she be with Qi Chenglin and fight against so many mistresses?
Although Ruan Danchen trusted Qi Chenglin and wouldn't be angry with him, it didn't mean that she would be polite to those women with evil intentions.
"Are you here to pick me up?" Qi Chenglin lowered his head and looked at Ruan Danchen with a smile.
"…" Ruan Danchen peeked at Qi Chengyue, who was walking over. In front of outsiders, she couldn't say that her sister-in-law missed her husband, so she purposely came over with a big belly. Thus, she could only agree to this matter herself and awkwardly replied with an "en".
This made Qi Chengyue feel that her two sisters-in-law were quite loyal, so she also smiled happily and revealed two dimples.
At this time, Qi Chengzhi and Cheng Dongge also came out of the elevator, and Jiang Yuan came out with them.
Shen Man was still quite embarrassed in front of Qi Chengzhi, so she said to Qi Chenglin, "Mr. Qi, I won't disturb you anymore. If there's anything related to work, feel free to contact me."
However, Qi Chenglin said, "I thought about it and feel that this job is still not very suitable for Miss Shen."
Then, he said to Jiang Yuan, "Contact Jiang Ronglan on Monday. This time, we will be inviting the founder of Contilook and the president of Teck's Asian region. It's better to find someone who is fluent in English, has a lot of professional knowledge, and looks more mature."
Jiang Yuan agreed. Shen Man's expression turned ugly. Her English was not fluent enough and had always been criticized. Some people in the station who were not convinced by her often used this matter to talk about it. This time, when Qi Chenglin pointed it out so bluntly, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"Miss Shen, I'll walk you out," Jiang Yuan walked up and said politely.
Shen Man originally wanted to fight for it, but Qi Chenglin directly pointed out that her English was not good. This shortcoming was useless even if she wanted to make up for it. In the end, she could only be sent out by Jiang Yuan.
When she saw Cheng Dongge, Qi Chengyue directly went over and held his arm.
Qi Chengzhi and Cheng Dongge first brought Song Yu and Qi Chengyue back to the old mansion. Little Youjin was so sleepy that she had already fallen asleep. Cheng Dongge was also worried about Qi Chengyue going to the supermarket. The supermarket was crowded, so in the end, Qi Chenglin and his family of three went to the supermarket by themselves.
In the supermarket, Ruan Danchen was thinking about personally cooking to entertain Ruan Zeer and Li Yiming tomorrow. The ingredients at home were not everything, but fortunately, she knew what they had at home, so she bought some things that they did not have at home.
Chen Minxia came to the supermarket to buy a gift for Ruan Zeer to bring to the famous garden tomorrow. She had just bought a box of cherries and was about to go to the snack shop to buy some children's snack gift bags when she happened to pass by Ruan Danchen. She heard the little boy sitting in the cart say, "Mommy, there's a woman who came to seduce daddy today. Go home and make her kneel on instant noodles! You can't let her into the bedroom even if it's broken. "
"…" Chen Minxia couldn't help but look over. This child's thoughts were too bold.
"Even if you want to eat instant noodles, don't frame your daddy." Ruan Danchen glanced at him amusedly. "That thing is not nutritious. You can't eat it."
The little boy's cheeks puffed up. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He turned around and saw Qi Chenglin's cold eyes. He felt that the corner of his father's mouth was curled up in a sinister manner.
"Why isn't the air conditioner in this supermarket hot? It's so cold." The little boy twisted in the cart awkwardly and then became obedient.
Chen Minxia couldn't help but laugh. She felt that this child was too clever and cute. Her gaze unconsciously fell on Ruan Danchen. She only felt that this girl looked quite familiar. She felt that it was fate. She didn't think too much about it and just walked past her.
…
On Sunday, not long after Ruan Zeer left to go to the famous garden with Li Yiming, Ruan Keshan and Chen Minxia also went out. They went to Liu Ronghua's house according to the address given by the reporter.
Because Liu Ronghua's rented community was relatively high-end, they had to use a card to enter the door. They didn't have a card, so they were stopped by the security guard at the entrance of the community.
"We're here to see Liu Ronghua, who lives in Building 12, Unit 401, Unit 2." Chen Minxia said, as if she really knew Liu Ronghua.
"Please wait a moment." The security guard said and went back to the security room.
Chen Minxia also followed them with Ruan Keshan. The security guard called Liu Ronghua to ask. Liu Ronghua was at home today, but she said that there were no guests today.
Hearing that, Chen Minxia said politely to the security guard, "May I have a word with Ms. Liu?"
The security guard nodded and made way for her.
Chen Minxia took the phone and said, "Ms. Liu, let me introduce myself. I'm Chen Minxia. Maybe you've forgotten me, but I think you should remember Ruan Keyu, right? "
Liu Ronghua's hand trembled and she almost dropped the phone. "Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Chen Minxia, Ruan Keyu's sister-in-law. I came here with my husband, Ruan Keshan. I want to talk to you about my uncle." Chen Minxia said politely, but it didn't sound very polite.
"I'm very sorry about Keyu, but I have nothing to say." Liu Ronghua held the phone tightly and said in a tense voice.
"But we have something to ask you. At that time, we didn't even get to see Keyu for the last time, and we couldn't contact you. I saw your news on the Internet, so I took the liberty to come here. I hope you can meet us. "Chen Minxia said politely, but there was an obvious insistence in her voice.
Liu Ronghua could tell that if she refused, they wouldn't give up easily.
"I see. Are you in the security room?" Liu Ronghua took a deep breath and calmed her voice. "Please wait there for a moment. I'll go down immediately."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Minxia said politely and hung up the phone. She told the security guard to wait here, and the security guard also told them to wait here.
Liu Ronghua hung up the phone. Her heart was beating very fast, and she was indescribably nervous.
She didn't expect that after nearly 30 years, Ruan Keyu's brother and sister-in-law would come to her.
She felt indescribably uncomfortable in her heart. Hearing Ruan Keyu's name from someone else's mouth again, she felt a throbbing pain in her chest. Thinking of the handsome man in the past, she couldn't help but cover her chest.
Liu Ronghua's face turned pale, and her eyes became a little red.
After a while, she took a deep breath and went to change her clothes. She looked at her face in the mirror. Even if she didn't go out at home, when no one was looking at her, she still put on delicate makeup. When looking at herself in the mirror, she still looked beautiful, and she was in a good mood.
She carefully examined her face, put on some powder, and made sure that her face looked delicate and flawless. As long as she didn't make too big of an expression, she basically couldn't see any wrinkles. Then she took her bag and went out.
Ruan Keshan and Chen Minxia had already seen Liu Ronghua coming this way through the window in the security room. Ruan Keshan couldn't wait, so he went out directly, and Chen Minxia followed him.
