"I won't ask him! He and I have nothing to do with each other now."

Jiang Qing held her hand tightly. "Maybe your mother is still alive? Your father said your mother died, but that was just his one-sided statement. Maybe your mother is still alive and looking for you?"

She bit her lip and said, "But, after so many years, even if she is still here, what can we do?"

Jiang Qing said hurriedly: "If we can find her, at least you can know what happened back then and why your father treated you like this."

"But I don't know anything. I don't know where I was born, and I don't even know what my mother looks like or what her name is. Li Jianhua hasn't said anything about her, and my grandmother never saw her before she died. Where can I go to find her?"

"You'll just have to ask your dad."

"He never said it before, and he won't say it now. Sometimes I wonder if he hates me so much because of my mom... Maybe my mom is really gone."

Jiang Qing sighed, "Why don't you talk to your father and have a good talk with him? What if your mother is still alive? Even if she's gone, at least she knows the truth."

"Forget it...I don't want to see him."

Li Yanyan changed the subject and said, "Tell me about you. Have you had fun playing with Mo Yanchen these days?"

"It's okay." Jiang Qing thought about the past few days. Except for sleeping and going to the bathroom, the two of them were basically inseparable.

When the boat docked, the two of them would go out to play and see many sights they had never seen before. They also went diving together to see the creatures under the ocean and the rock caves...

Li Yanyan smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, I know it's more than just okay. Tell me more about it."

Jiang Qing's cheeks flushed slightly. "Oh, it was really fun playing together. When we were diving together, we saw those beautiful fish of various colors swimming past us, as well as the strange-shaped corals. That feeling was really amazing. The underwater creatures are really beautiful.

Yanyan, I also suggest you go diving in the future. The seabed is really beautiful."

"Okay, wait until I give birth to the baby." Li Yanyan touched her belly, "Don't change the subject, keep talking."

Jiang Qing continued, "After we got ashore, we went to the local night market and ate a lot of local snacks. Ah Chen was very considerate and took good care of me..."

Li Yanyan jokingly said, "Oh, this is a good development. You're calling him Ah Chen now! So are you attracted to him?"

Jiang Qing lowered her head shyly: "I can't really explain it, but when I'm with him, I feel quite at ease."

"Then try dating him." Li Yanyan patted her shoulder.

"I need to think about it again." Jiang Qing said proudly.

At this time, Jiang Qing's cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Mo Yanchen calling. A happy smile instantly appeared on her face. She picked up the phone and walked to the balcony.

Yanyan looked at her back, her lips curled up, and she was really happy for her.

"Qingqing, where are you? We've only been apart for an hour, and I miss you again." Mo Yanchen's voice came over.

"I'm at Yanyan's house."

"Do you miss me?"

"Do not want to."

"It's so sad. Qingqing doesn't even miss me..."

"Stop being so pretentious. Is there something wrong?" Jiang Qing said seriously.

"What's going on? Let's go out for dinner tonight."

"I don't have time tonight. I need to go home. My dad wants to talk to me."

"Then I'll pick you up from your house after you finish your meal and take you home."

"Let's talk about it later. Okay, I'm hanging up." Jiang Qing hung up the phone, put it in his pocket, and walked towards Li Yanyan again.

"Mo Yanchen's call?" she asked.

"Ah."

"What's wrong with him?"

"Let's go have dinner together tonight."

"We just separated, and I miss you again?"

"Yan Yan...don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Qing held Li Yanyan's hand and talked for a long time until Gu Yuanzhou came back, and then she left.

After Gu Yuanzhou closed the door, he put his arms around her waist and kissed her hard.

A few minutes later, he held her in his arms and said softly, "Qiao Anxu said he would treat us to dinner tomorrow. Let's go together, okay?"

Li Yanyan was confused and her face flushed, "Why did he suddenly invite us to dinner?"

"He said that his sister and Ji Yuxin, Ji Yulin's sister, were going to the United States, so he wanted to treat us to a meal before they left."

"They are your friends. You go. I won't go." Li Yanyan always remembered what Qiao Shiyu said at the old house that day.

"Are you willing to let your husband go alone?" Gu Yuanzhou pinched her little face.

"Why are you reluctant? Just go, you are friends anyway."

"Qiao Anxu specifically said that you must go. The dinner was hosted just for you."

Li Yanyan looked confused, "For me? Why?"

"He said his sister was at the old house the other day and was a little offensive to you with her language. He wanted to apologize to you, so he specially organized this dinner."

"Apologize to me? I already apologized that day, and I'm not angry, nor do I blame her."

"Don't want to go? Then I'll cancel this party." Gu Yuanzhou took out his cell phone.

Li Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Since we have nothing to do tomorrow, let's go.

She wanted to see what Qiao Shiyu wanted to say to her.

"It's okay if my wife doesn't want to go. I pushed her away."

"No need to push, just eat a meal."

When Jiang Qing returned home in the evening, her stepmother Cheng Chunyu looked flattering and asked her about her well-being.

"Qingqing, you're back. Are you thirsty? Do you want something to drink?"

Jiang Qing glanced at her calmly, "Auntie, where is my dad?"

"Your father is in the study and will be down soon. Please sit for a while and let your aunt talk to you."

After the two sat down, stepmother Cheng Chunyu said, "Qingqing, is the cruise fun?"

"It's okay." Jiang Qing played with his mobile phone nonchalantly.

"A cruise must be expensive, right? How much did you spend this time?"

Jiang Qing frowned and looked at her, the corners of his mouth raised, "Probably more than 50."

Cheng Chunyu's eyes widened. "What? Over 50?"

"Yes."

Cheng Chunyu's face turned grim, and his voice rose. "How could you be willing to spend so much money? Your father works so hard to earn money, can't you be more frugal? More than 50 yuan, and it's all gone in just a few days..."

Jiang Qing's slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly. "You also know that it's not easy for my father to make money. Then why do you give your family so much money every month? Your brother and your nephew are idle at home all day, and your family depends on my father for support. You need to understand this."

"You..." Cheng Chunyu was unable to refute for a moment.

"What are you arguing about? You're arguing as soon as you get back!" Jiang Chengxun walked down from the second floor.

Cheng Chunyu immediately put on a smile. "Qingqing and I didn't argue. I just asked her how much the trip cost. She said 50 yuan. I was a little shocked."

Jiang Chengxun frowned, "It's indeed a bit expensive, Qingqing, you can spend the money, but be a little more frugal."

Jiang Qing stood up and said expressionlessly, "If you asked me to come back just to teach me a lesson, then I'm leaving."

"Qingqing, I have something serious to tell you." Jiang Chengxun said.

"Go ahead." Jiang Qing looked at him.

"Talk while we eat."

After a while, the table was filled with Jiang Qing's favorite dishes.

Cheng Chunyu picked up some food for Jiang Qing and said, "Qingqing, eat more."

Jiang Qing didn't eat and looked at Jiang Chengxun, "Dad, just tell me what you want to say."

Jiang Chengxun gave Cheng Chunyu a look, and she nodded slightly, smiling and said, "Qingqing, do you have a boyfriend?"

"What?" Jiang Qing looked at her warily.

"Well, your dad wants to introduce you to someone. He's a very nice guy, serving in the army as a company commander. He's tall and handsome. What do you think of him? Do you want to meet him?"
