Jiang Liu chuckled, bemused.
Tongtong licked her front teeth mischievously.
"Daddy, take to brush my teeth. My mouth is so sweet."
"Okay."
She had just eaten fruit, and going to sleep without brushing wasn’t healthy for her teeth.
At that mont, Lin Qiu opened the door and poked her head out. "I was wondering why it got so quiet. Has Qingng gone ho?"
"She just left."
"Sigh, that girl is so considerate it makes my heart ache."
The more Lin Qiu thought about Jun Qingng, the more pleased she was. She issued a warning, "Son, you better treat Qingng well, you hear ? If I find out you’re bullying her, you’ll see how I deal with you!"
Tongtong gloated, letting out a series of crisp, duck-like quacks.
"QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK."
Jiang Liu pretended not to hear and focused on brushing his teeth in the mirror.
’He was starting to get it. This whole family is working as secret agents for Jun Qingng.’
After they finished brushing their teeth, they sat on the sofa together.
Lin Qiu and Jiang Dahai spoke with Jiang Liu for a while longer about finding a lawyer for the visitation rights issue before heading back to their room to rest.
Jiang Liu took Tongtong back to their room.
In a strikingly similar fashion, the two of them flopped onto the bed, kicking their feet and sending their slippers flying to the side.
After turning on the air conditioner, the room beca nice and cool.
Tongtong wriggled and burrowed under the covers.
"Daddy, co and get !"
"You can’t catch , you can’t catch !"
After playing for a bit, Tongtong’s mood suddenly dropped.
She stopped wriggling.
She slipped out from under Jiang Liu’s arm and leaned against his chest.
"Daddy, Tongtong is so scared. What should I do?"
"Hmm? What’s wrong?"
"On Saturday, your ex-wife is going to take Tongtong away again. I don’t want to go. Can you find a lawyer faster?"
Jiang Liu stroked Tongtong’s soft cheek. "Don’t be scared. How about Daddy finds one right now?"
"Mhm! I love you, Daddy."
"MWAH! MWAH!"
Tongtong leaned over Jiang Liu’s face and generously planted a few sweet kisses on him.
"Don’t worry. You go to sleep first."
"No, I want to stay with you."
"Just sleep when you get tired," Jiang Liu said with a smile.
He opened Douyin, planning to ask his large custor group if anyone knew a highly skilled lawyer. He was willing to pay a hefty price to hire one.
The group chat was currently buzzing with activity.
Fishing Selling Fish: "Wild guess, but I bet there’s a new dish tomorrow morning. Anyone want to team up and queue at 4 a.m.? I’ll bring a table, you guys can bring whatever."
" 1 1..."
Shangge Beauty: "@Jiang Liu’s Gourt Shop, how co a certain soone never talks?"
Catering Supplies A-Xu: "Brother Jiang is busy making buns for us."
Internet Cafe God: "Hahahaha, what a la joke. I waited in line for two days and only got his buns once. He’s definitely slacking off."
Moonlight Over the Lotus Pond: "@Jiang Liu’s Gourt Shop. You have 10,000 followers in this group, but you’re always lurking. Can’t you pop out and chat with everyone for a bit?"
Prosperous Niu Niu: "Forget it. Since he opened, aside from seeing Boss Jiang post two updates, he’s never shown his face. He’s definitely busy being all lovey-dovey with Teacher Qingng."
Jiang Liu, who had been lurking, sent a ssage: "Why is everyone still up so late?"
The group chat went dead silent for a mont.
The next mont, the ssages exploded.
"!!! Who’s this?"
"(confused) We don’t know him. Maybe he’s a mute."
"HOLY SHIT! @Jiang Liu’s Gourt Shop, he’s actually alive!"
"Boss Jiang, I swear I wasn’t just badmouthing you, please don’t block (cracks)"
"Open for business tonight, Brother Jiang! I’m really dying to drink so juice. The water at my house is out! (crying)"
"Brother Jiang, I like you so much. Can I sleep with you for ten thousand yuan?"
"?? I think I just saw a weird ssage."
There were so many ssages that Jiang Liu’s phone started to lag.
He painstakingly sent his ssage, getting straight to the point: "Does anyone here know a lawyer? I’m looking for soone with a lot of experience. If you do, please send a private ssage."
Certain people in the group got excited.
"I do, I do! Boss Jiang, is there a new item tomorrow?"
"??"
"A lawyer? I know one. Brother Jiang, follow and I’ll send you a PM."
"Did sothing happen? My dad’s a lawyer. He’s won a ton of cases, and he’s willing to work for you for free, Brother Jiang, as long as you make so shrimp noodles."
Jiang Liu opened his private ssages.
A lot of people had ssaged him.
After filtering through them, Jiang Liu followed an account nad Valley Legend.
The person had just sent him a PM, claiming to be the founding partner of South City’s Zhengtai Law Firm.
Zhengtai Law Firm was renowned in South City, practically in a league of its own.
Even Jiang Liu had heard of it.
In its thirty-plus-year history, it had won countless tough cases. Even law school graduates with master’s degrees were desperate to get jobs there as assistants.
Valley Legend asked, "Boss Jiang, did sothing happen? Could you give a rundown? I can try to co up with a plan for you overnight."
Jiang Liu explained the situation with Tongtong in detail.
Valley Legend didn’t say a word the whole ti.
After a mont, he replied, "This isn’t a big deal. It’s quite simple to resolve. It’s hard to explain online, so how about I co to your shop tomorrow and we can discuss it in detail?"
"I go to your shop every day, but unfortunately, I can’t always make it through the line. That shrimp noodle dish and the stir-fried suckling pig with chili you had last ti slled amazing. A pity I wasn’t lucky enough to try them."
Jiang Liu’s Gourt Shop: "Sounds good. What ti tomorrow? I’ll make you sothing good to eat."
Valley Legend imdiately replied: "Eight-thirty."
After confirming the ti with him, Jiang Liu put down his phone and rubbed his tired eyes.
He hadn’t slept a wink all day.
He looked down at the treasure in his arms.
Tongtong, who had been drawing just a minute ago, had now automatically powered down.
Her little tummy rose and fell slowly. Even in her sleep, Tongtong’s hand still clutched Jiang Liu’s shirt, refusing to let go.
Clearly, Yang Yixue had left Jiang Tongtong feeling completely insecure.
Jiang Liu gently pried his daughter’s hand away, covered her with the blanket, and walked out of the bedroom.
He still had to prepare the fillings for tomorrow.
He was proficient now, and with his enhanced physique, it took him less than forty minutes to prepare thirty pounds of filling.
That was more than enough for the morning and noon rush tomorrow.
[Current Praise Points: 98,504]
Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Liu looked at the points in his mind, and his mood improved considerably.
However, the fourth page hadn’t appeared yet. Based on the food book’s usual antics, Jiang Liu guessed he definitely didn’t have enough points.
’No rush, I’ll take it slow. I wonder if a purple-grade ingredient will show up next.’
Jiang Liu felt a faint sense of anticipation.
The purple-patterned ingredients weren’t just expensive; they also ca with a special reward.
Take Jiang Liu’s current physique, for example, which was about three tis stronger than that of his peers.
Jiang Liu had always been in good shape, and that was before his body was enhanced. Now, he could easily crush an ordinary person.
His phone buzzed.
Jun Qingng: "I just finished my shower. I sll all nice and fragrant, everywhere~"
Jun Qingng: "[Little Panda: Pay attention to , pay attention to .]"
An unconscious, faint smile appeared on Jiang Liu’s face as he replied, "Okay, hurry up and go to sleep. Good night."
Jun Qingng: "But the bed feels empty without you. I’m huddled under the covers, all scared."
Jiang Liu didn’t reply. He lay on the sofa, savoring a chilled orange.
The pulp inside was plump, fresh, and sweet.
Jun Qingng: [Recomnded Friend: Flawed Beauty]
Jun Qingng: "She’s a lawyer friend of mine. Add her on WeChat if you need to, but you’re not allowed to talk about anything besides the case!"
