"Sister Zhang, is uncle here?" Shang Xiaomo asked as soon as she entered the door.

Qi Qi's face was naive like a little deer as she timidly sized up the unfamiliar environment.

"More." Shang Xiaomo thought about how she was interrupting Qi Qi's meal. She probably wasn't full yet.

"I'm a little hungry." Qi Qi blinked her eyes in curiosity and looked around.

"This house is really big, is Qi Qi really going to live here from now on?" A child was a child. She would say what she was thinking.

"En, can Qi Qi stay with mother tonight?" Shang Xiaomo felt that there was no place for the kids to stay at. Besides, Qi Qi would probably be scared even if she slept by herself. Therefore, Qi Qi decided to sleep with her first.

"Mom …" Mom, okay, Qi Qi wants to live with Mom. " In less than half a day's time, Qi Qi had already called Shang Xiaomo 'mother' quite smoothly.

Sister Zhang who was carrying food out of the kitchen just happened to hear the little girl that the young miss brought back calling Miss's mother.

Sister Zhang was startled for a moment, but quickly regained her senses. She placed the food on the table, and without asking anything, returned to the kitchen.

Shang Xiaomo raised her bowl and fed Qi Qi half a bowl of rice before quickly finishing the rest.

She knew that Qi Qi had the habit of taking an afternoon nap, so she brought Qi Qi upstairs.

After coaxing Qi Qi to sleep, she went to the bathroom, picked up her phone and called Lin Xueqing, telling her a simple story about how she went to the welfare home. Lin Xueqing knew that, and only warned her repeatedly, since she was not going to hide her identity, she should find her father as soon as possible. After hanging up the phone, Shang Xiaomo carefully laid down beside Qi Qi. Looking at the small ball, Shang Xiaomo's heart was extremely satisfied.

Ji Family.

Ji Yanxi finally finished settling the matters at hand. Sitting on the black chair, he rubbed his throbbing temples with both of his hands. Suddenly, he thought of his little white rabbit.

He wanted to see his little white rabbit.

Originally, he could have seen it last night, but who knew that there would be an emergency at the company. He had been busy the whole night, and only now did he manage to settle those matters.

"Ke Jin, what do you think of her?"

Ke Jin was stunned and only after a long time did he realize that the girl that Master had mentioned was actually that girl.

From Ke Jin's observation, Shang Xiaomo was a simple and kind person, she did not have any schemes.

It was not that he did not understand what he was thinking, but he was still surprised by the question.

He had followed his teacher for such a long time already, yet he could not figure out what his teacher was thinking. Now, however, his teacher was asking him such a question.

Could it be that Mister really …

Ke Jin looked at the man sitting on the chair, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He seemed to be able to guess what Master wanted to do.

However, as Mister's right-hand man, Ke Jin very carefully thought of a way for Mister. He walked straight to Ji Yanxi's side, picked up the things on the table, and suggested as he did so.

"If mister is truly interested in that girl, you can hold a private party and invite the merchant to come here. You can also interact more with that girl since she belongs to the merchant house." Ke Jin paused for a moment, and then revealed the stakes involved.

"The deceased Old Master Shang was the biggest politician in the past, so the Shang family now has a lot of prestige in the political world. By doing so, firstly, you can shorten the journey to the political world. Secondly, even if Miss Shang doesn't really feel much for you, but since we're married, she's yours.

"But I don't want to use her." Although Ji Yanxi was moved, he was afraid that Shang Xiaomo would think that he was doing it for the Shang Clan.

"Then what better way is there for you, sir?" Ke Jin asked him in return, causing Ji Yanxi to ponder deeply.

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

After Ke Jin finished packing up, he left.

He had to finish what he had just done quickly, or, for sure, he would be asked to do so.

At the same time.

When Shang Xiaomo woke up, she realized that the Qi Qi beside her had disappeared. She randomly put on some clothes and went downstairs in her slippers. Just as she was about to ask whether or not Sister Zhang had met Qi Qi, she saw Shang Hangzhou playing with her happily.

"Uncle, this is Qi Qi."

"She just told me, you adopted her in welfare home?" Shang Hangzhou looked at Shang Xiaomo as she played.

"Qi Qi, mother and grandfather have something to say. Can you go up first and play with you later?" Shang Xiaomo did not reply, but pointed upstairs, and Qi Qi obediently walked up with her short legs.

"Uncle, I need to tell you something." Shang Xiaomo knew that paper could not hold fire, so she decided to be frank.

"Mn, say it," Shang Hangzhou knew that she definitely had something to say to Qi Qi after she sent her away.

"Actually... Qi Qi was born to me five years ago, and she is my biological daughter. " After Shang Xiaomo said this, she felt a huge stone in her chest finally drop to the ground.

"What?" Shang Hangzhou's eyes widened, and started to dig in his ears, he suspected that since he was old, his ears might not be able to hear wrongly.

"I said, Qi Qi is my biological father."

"What the hell is going on?"

Shang Hangzhou listened to her narration of the events from five years ago, and after hearing it, felt nothing but guilt. If he had found her earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered such a thing.

"Alright, let's keep this a secret for now. I'll reveal Qi Qi's identity when I find a suitable time."

"Eldest Uncle …"

"Alright, if you feel moved, you can just agree to one of uncle's request." Shang Hangzhou was worrying about how to answer.

"Alright, I promise you. But, what do I need to do? " She would be happy to have a hundred pieces, let alone one.

"Ji Family has a party today. You can attend it. Eldest Uncle is already quite old, so it's best for me to not show too much of my age. " Shang Hangzhou took out an invitation from behind him and passed it to Shang Xiaomo.

"It's this again?" Shang Xiaomo looked at the invitation card and felt like weeping but had no tears.

"I don't care. If you agree, you must go. Sister Zhang, tell the driver to bring Miss to pose. " Shang Hangzhou was afraid that she would go back on her words, so he quickly entered his room and closed the door.
