Yang Ziying and Qiu Hong had arrived together. Qiu Hong had purposely delayed them for a while on the way here. When they knocked on Xuan Peng's door, they were truly shocked by the scene before them.
Because the door was silently dyed open, there was no furry toys left in the living room.
The exaggerated princess dress that Jing Xiaoxiao was wearing really did look like a princess that came from a fairy tale kingdom. Jing Xiaoxiao was looking at them with a joyous expression as she continuously spun around to ask if she was pretty.
Qiu Hong kept nodding her head, praising Jing Xiaoxiao for her beauty. After a long time, Yangzi recovered from her shock. She thought that what she saw today was still the same Jing Xiaoxiao who coaxed the cloth doll like a frightened bird.
Xuan Peng took in Yang Ziying and Qiu Hong's reactions. With a calm expression, he asked them, "Do you want to have breakfast together? I've made porridge."
Yang Ziying refused. Looking at the happy Mo Xiaoxiao who was touching her clothes, she sighed. She didn't know where the Xiao family's exit was.
There was still no news from Xiao Menghan. Han Yong had also disappeared. The expedition team led by the female reporter also suddenly disappeared. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared.
Xiao Yuelin had already sent out his elite troops to search. The other departments had also sent out people to coordinate with him.
The sun was still rising and setting in the west, and the days passed just the same. The city was still bustling with activity every day, with busy people running about for their lives.
However, what surged beneath the calm and tranquil atmosphere was a wave of unease.
At the very least, Yang Ziying was trembling with fear at every moment because she had a premonition that a great crisis was about to befall the Xiao family. And last night, Xiao Yuelin had already mentally prepared Yang Ziying.
Some can stand the wind and the waves, and some are destined to be low in the dust.
The ups and downs of life were actually nothing bad. This was what Xiao Yuelin had said. After tasting the delicacies of mountains and seas, one would know that life was only so-so.
What Xiao Yuelin did not tell Yang Ziying was that there were already movements from the higher ups secretly investigating the Xiao family.
Although the higher-ups did not tell Xiao Yuelin, from other sources, Xiao Yuelin knew that it was because of an anonymous letter.
Xiao Yuelin did not know the contents of the letter, but he knew that the content was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, he would not have used the most secretive and powerful department.
Yang Ziying was envious of the current Jing Xiaoxiao. This was good as well. She didn't know if she should think too much about it.
Yang Ziying was too worried. She avoided Qiu Hong's sight and didn't have too many interactions with Xuan Peng. She got up and slowly walked to the window. Leaning against the wall, she looked down at the district below her.
The residential area was very quiet. Those who worked were already at work, and there were also old people who would return with baskets of vegetables. The elderly couple, who were wearing white clothes, were strolling around the garden.
This scene made the corners of Yang Ziying's eyes burn. She and Xiao Yuelin had also lived for over a hundred years, and it was unknown if they would have the same time in the future.
Suddenly, Yang Ziying's gaze landed on a certain place as the light in her eyes trembled.
It was as if she had seen that car back at the Xiao family's old house. It was a very ordinary Volkswagen. Yang Ziying had the feeling that it was the same car.
The car quietly stopped on the road opposite the residential complex. From Yang Ziying's position, it was not easy to notice the car, but the car could clearly see the window.
Yang Ziying quietly hid her body behind the curtain. Her face was pale and the unease in her heart had increased.
Xuan Peng left the district with Jing Xiaoxiao. He drove his car and roamed the streets. He never stopped, nor did he increase his speed.
On the other side, Qiu Hong and Yang Ziying were also driving around in their cars, as if they were leisurely strolling in the traffic. The two cars also followed them at a leisurely pace.
From the east side of the city to the west side, from the south side to the back side of the city center's busy road, the two cars stopped. The person who walked out of the car wasn't Xuan Peng, but rather Assistant Lin and his wife.
The people who alighted from the other car were not Yang Ziying nor Qiu Hong. Instead, there were two fashionable looking noblewomen. After meeting each other, they greeted each other and then walked into a teahouse.
The other two cars stopped not far away and didn't leave for a long time.
At this time, Xuan Peng had already pushed open the villa at the edge of the forest with Mo Xiaoxiao by his side. Behind them were Qiu Hong and Yang Ziying, who were carrying their luggage.
"I have prepared everything here. If you need anything, feel free to tell me." Yang Ziying watched as she excitedly ran on the dark green grass and watched as she rushed to the fountain that shone under the sunlight. Yang Ziying's heart was filled with curiosity, she looked at Qiu Hong wiping her tears, and hugged Qiu Hong's shoulders. Yang Ziying told her: "Xiao Ri will definitely get better, she will also know that you are her biological mother."
"No, I don't need her to know about my biological mother. I just want her to live a happy life." Qiu Hong turned to look at Yang Ziying, her eyes pleading. "Ziying, when will Meng Han come back with your child? Don't let Xiao Yan wait too long."
"It won't be long." These four words had used up all of Yang Ziying's strength. How could she have thought about it for too long? However, she didn't even know when the date of return would be.
Xuan Peng let go and let Mo Xiaoxiao run about in the villa. This place was indeed suitable for the current Mo Xiaoxiao. Moreover, there was an amusement park. The setup inside was a mini amusement park.
Seeing Mo Xiaoxiao jump excitedly on the trampoline, Xuan Peng knew that this couldn't be done for Mo Xiaoxiao, it should be for her and Xiao Meng Han's child.
When she was playing in the amusement park, she would occasionally stop and look left and right, revealing confusion and contemplation in her eyes. Sometimes, she would even hesitantly walk to a corner in her memory, and those places were like an invisible hand beckoning her over.
Taking advantage of Qiu Hong leaving to put away his luggage, Xuan Peng walked over to Yang Ziying's side and looked at the once most enviable woman in the city with a complicated expression. Let them take our place and divert the attention of those who are following us. Who exactly is the one who is following us? "
Xuan Peng had always been worried that it would be Liang Heyuan and the others, but he felt that something wasn't quite right. At the very least, it wasn't just Liang Heyuan and his group.
Furthermore, why did Xiao Menghan not show his face until now? He had been acting very secretively previously. Adding to that, last night he had heard the mumbling in his dreams. Xuan Peng was even afraid that he would come to a conjecture.
Yang Ziying's eyes directly met Xuan Peng's question with a gentle smile. Looking at the benevolent smile on her face, she actually pulled the distance between her and Xuan Peng; she did not answer Xuan Peng, but instead looked past him to Mo Xiao Yan and slowly said, "I want to protect Xuan Peng when Meng Han is not around. Xuan Peng, she is my grandson's mother, this is an indisputable fact.
Xuan Peng opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end. He actually wanted to say that he would rather the Xiao family abandon Jing Xiaoxiao and not let her carry such a heavy burden.
After thinking for a long time, Xuan Peng finally opened his mouth and asked Yang Ziying, "Madam Xiao, I have a question that I would like to ask."
