Seeing her older brother so dispirited, Zhan Nanjing felt very worried.
She frowned and advised, "Brother, you’re already in this state, your illness has reached the point where you need surgery, how can you not eat properly?"
"If you don’t take care of yourself, what will your future sister-in-law think when she sees you like this..."
"Stop it, I want to rest, you all go out."
Zhan Qipei didn’t want to listen to Zhan Nanjing nag anymore, interrupting her with his words.
"Brother, you like this..."
Zhan Nanjing wanted to say more, but Zhan Qipei just pulled up the quilt, buried himself in it, isolating himself.
Seeing this scene, Zhan Nanjing looked helpless.
Su Manhan sighed, her face showing obvious worry.
"Oh, what do we do now? He never ate on ti before and developed a stomach problem; now he’s just had surgery and is still like this. How can his body take it?"
Zhan Yao also looked troubled, sighing as he said, "What else can we do? He just won’t listen to reason."
Looking at Zhan Qipei lying on the hospital bed unmoved, Zhan Nanjing, Su Manhan, and Zhan Yao were at their wit’s end, yet helpless.
...
Regarding the bidding for Zhan’s project, although there were so setbacks, the Qiao Family ultimately secured the project with an impressive proposal.
As the project progressed, the losses that the Qiao Family suffered due to the Jiang family’s suppression were quickly compensated.
At the sa ti, the overall developnt trend of the branch company improved significantly.
Therefore, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin decided to stay in the capital to continue managing the branch company.
Since they decided to stay, naturally, they couldn’t keep living in a hotel.
Thus, Qiao Jing and the others moved out of the hotel and into a nearby two-story villa.
Since Qiao Jing’s health hadn’t fully recovered, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin told her to rest well and not help at the company.
Seeing her two sisters leave early and return late, working so hard, Qiao Jing thought about cooking for them so they could have a fragrant al as soon as they returned ho.
With that in mind, Qiao Jing also went out after Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin left for work.
She planned to go to the supermarket to buy so ingredients.
After purchasing the ingredients and carrying two bags out of the supermarket, Qiao Jing suddenly heard a child’s cry.
Probably because there was a new little one at ho, Qiao Jing was now particularly sensitive to children’s matters.
Following the direction of the cry, she saw a cute little girl with pigtails and a pink dress sobbing.
The little girl looked to be about four years old, crying so hard that her small shoulders were shaking, making one feel quite sorry for her.
Just as Qiao Jing was about to step forward, she saw a middle-aged man with a sharp and thin monkey-like face approach the little girl first.
Unsure if this man was the girl’s family, she didn’t go over imdiately and instead stood by to watch.
The man took a lollipop out of his pocket and waved it in front of the little girl, coaxing her in a cajoling tone, "Little friend, don’t cry, co, Uncle will give you candy."
"Did you get separated from your parents? Don’t worry, Uncle will take you to find your mom now."
With that, the man reached out to grab the little girl’s hand.
The little girl, sowhat frightened, dodged a bit, but thinking that the man said he would take her to find her mom, she felt sowhat tempted inside.
She blinked her tear-filled eyes and sobbed, "You, you... can really, really take to find my mom?"
"Of course it’s true, co with Uncle quickly, or it’ll be too late to find mom."
As he spoke, the man reached out again to grab the little girl, more impatiently than before.
Even from a distance, Qiao Jing couldn’t hear their conversation, but judging from the little girl’s sowhat fearful deanor, it seed she didn’t know this monkey-like man.
Suspicious that this man might be a human trafficker, she quickly walked over, shouting, "Xiao Nan, how did you end up here?"
The man had already taken hold of the little girl’s hand, but upon hearing soone call the girl’s na, he instinctively thought her family had arrived, imdiately feeling guilty and turned to run, afraid of being caught red-handed.
Seeing the man’s reaction, Qiao Jing knew she had guessed right.
This man really was a human trafficker!
Fortunately, she happened to co at the right ti, otherwise, the little girl would have been abducted!
Qiao Jing walked up to the little girl, bent down slightly to look at her, and gently said, "Little friend, that man was a bad guy just now. You’re a child, and children shouldn’t talk to strangers, much less go with them, or else it could be dangerous. Do you understand?"
The little girl raised her chubby little hand, wiped away her tears, and nodded, "I understand. My mommy also says not to talk to strangers easily."
"But, you’re a stranger too!"
After saying that, the little girl tilted her head, blinking as she looked at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing paused, montarily at a loss for words.
After all, the little girl was right; to her, Qiao Jing was indeed an unknown stranger.
As Qiao Jing was thinking, the little girl suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a soft voice, "But I believe you’re a good person!"
"Why do you believe ?" Qiao Jing asked curiously.
The little girl’s tear-stained face broke into an innocent smile, "Because Auntie, you’re very pretty!"
Hearing this, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but laugh.
She still had fake skin on her face; how could this little girl tell she was pretty?
No wonder they say children’s words are amusing; it really is true!
Qiao Jing held the little girl’s hand gently and asked, "Little friend, can you tell Auntie your na?"
The little girl was clearly separated from her family, and since Qiao Jing happened to encounter her, she couldn’t just ignore it; she had to ask and help her find her family as soon as possible.
The little girl replied sweetly, "My na is Tang Momo."
Qiao Jing silently rembered the little girl’s na and then asked, "Momo, do you rember your mommy and daddy’s phone number?"
Tang Momo shook her head, a little dejected, "Last ti mommy wanted to morize it, but I didn’t..."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but smile.
She raised her hand, gently patting Tang Momo’s little head, "Then let Auntie take you to find the police officer uncle, and let him help you find your mommy and daddy, okay?"
Tang Momo nodded, softly agreeing, "Okay."
anwhile, on a food street near the supermarket,
Lin Xiuxiang was looking everywhere for her daughter, unable to find her anywhere, so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
With trembling hands, she took out her phone to call Tang Yan...
