Chapter 111: Girl Treasure, World Treasure

Chapter 111

On Saturday morning, after breakfast, Nian Suian took the items she bought yesterday and went to find Jiang Yun.

"Look, that man is here again, standing at the bottom of the building like a telephone pole all day."

"Oh, let him stand if he wants to. We've seen it all here, even people kneeling in the pouring rain."

"You know, this guy sure knows how to pick his times. He comes to stand around when the weather's nice, but doesn't show up when it's cloudy."

When Nian Suian arrived at the entrance of Jiang Yun's apartment building, she had just gotten out of her car when she saw a few old ladies sitting by the flower bed, watching children play while chatting.

Recalling what Jiang Yun had said before, Nian Suian guessed that the "telephone pole" not far away must be that scumbag surnamed Wei.

Listening to all this neighborhood gossip, no wonder Jiang Yun was reluctant to move away.

As Nian Suian went upstairs, she glanced at the man. He looked decent enough, but his actions were far from it.

It wasn't even December yet, but he was already wearing a padded jacket and gloves. He certainly wasn't skimping on his pitiful act. What a piece of work.

"Ding dong—"

"Coming, coming! Have you had breakfast?"

"Qu Zizhou, hurry up and make tea for Aunt Nian and bring some fruit!"

"Quickly, have a seat."

"Qu Zizhou! Hurry up!"

As soon as Nian Suian entered, she couldn't even get a word in before being ushered to sit on the sofa.

Qu Zizhou was also running around at his mother's commands.

"Thank you, Zizhou," Nian Suian took the tea Qu Zizhou had prepared for her and thanked him. "I heard from Zhijing that you're going to hang out with him today?"

"Yes, Aunt Nian. I just finished breakfast and was about to head over."

"Then you should get going. Mom needs to talk with your Aunt Nian," Jiang Yun waved her hand at her son, signaling him to scram.

Qu Zizhou didn't mind his mother shooing him away. To be honest, he'd rather be living at Gu Zhijing's place these days. After saying goodbye to the two women, Qu Zizhou left happily.

When he reached the building entrance, Qu Zizhou passed by the scumbag his mother had mentioned: Jiaojiao's deadbeat dad: and didn't forget to step on his foot.

"Oh! I'm sorry, uncle. I stepped on you."

Because of all this, Xiaxia truly didn't want to move away. Her daughter Jiaojiao had also become more lively since finding playmates.

"Sister Yun, I brought this for you. This face mask is really good, you must try it," Nian Suian said, taking out the face mask she had brought for Jiang Yun. This was her first time visiting Jiang Yun's home, and she didn't want to come empty-handed.

"Look at you, bringing gifts when you come. Next time you do this, I won't let you in."

"It's not a gift, I just wanted to share something good with you!"

The two didn't stay there for long. After sitting for a while, they went across to Xiaxia's place.

Yesterday, when Jiang Yun told Xiaxia that Nian Suian was coming over today, she got up early to tidy up the house. With a child around, it was inevitably a bit messy.

After cleaning up, she went to wake up Jiaojiao for breakfast. Just as the mother and daughter finished eating and tidying up, there was a knock at the door.

"Xiaxia, I've brought Suian over."

"Hello, I'm Sheng Xia. You can call me Xiaxia like Sister Yun does."

Nian Suian also smiled and greeted Sheng Xia: "I'm Nian Suian." As she spoke, she noticed the little girl peeking out from behind Sheng Xia. She couldn't take her eyes off her.

"Are you Jiaojiao?" Nian Suian crouched down to play with her.

"I am Jiaojiao. How does auntie know me?" Jiaojiao replied in her sweet, childish voice.

Because they were indoors, the little girl was wearing a red sweater and skirt, with her hair tied up in two little buns. Her chubby face and big round eyes curiously stared at Nian Suian.

She was just...

Adorably cute!

Nian Suian barely resisted the urge to grab the child and squeeze her cheeks. Instead, she took out the little bear she had bought yesterday from her bag.

"Auntie came to bring a gift for Jiaojiao. Do you like it?"

The little girl looked at the bear wearing a dress, clearly liking it, but she remembered her mother saying not to take things from strangers.

"Go ahead and take it. Say thank you to auntie."

Only then did Jiaojiao hug the little bear with both hands and say in her sweet voice:

"Thank you, auntie."

"Come, have a seat," Sheng Xia thanked Nian Suian and invited the two to sit down for tea.
