The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

Yan Yueqing carefully examined the house's layout and lighting, and then went to the yard to get a feel for it.

The villa itself was nice, but she frowned slightly: "Sister Mansheng, the environment here is undeniably beautiful. However..." She pointed to another large construction site that was faintly visible on the outskirts of the community, "That area is planned as a new commercial complex. Once it's completed, the flow of vehicles and people will increase dramatically, and the current tranquility probably won't last long. Moreover, the only road leading to the school may become a traffic bottleneck in the future."

Du Mansheng looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw the crane in the distance. Her face immediately fell: "Oh dear, why didn't the developer mention this! They've only been talking about how good the environment is! No way, I can't buy it."

Du Mansheng was a little discouraged after being dissatisfied with two places in a row.

Tangtang pouted; she really liked that little garden.

"Aunt Du, why don't you come and visit my neighborhood? Our neighborhood is really fun~ I want to see Sister Xiaoxiao and Sister Mianmian every day."

"Tangtang, your dad plans to sell our old house and buy a house with Aunt Du once she settles down, so it'll be easier for you to see your older sisters Xiaoxiao and Mianmian in the future~"

Director Tang knew that Yan Yueqing was about to go abroad and didn't want to trouble her anymore, but Tang Tang really liked hanging out with people related to Yan Yueqing. So, he made a tough decision and used his silver tongue to persuade Du Mansheng to come to the capital.

With her here, and the two older girls here too, Tangtang will have playmates!
Furthermore, after Song Qinglong went in, Du Mansheng's situation in City A was not very good.

Considering that Xiaoxiao and Mianmian's situation was not suitable for going public, and that Du Mansheng did not want future generations to view Xiaoxiao as an "illegitimate child," Song Qinglong was imprisoned. As the ex-wife of a "drug dealer," many people felt that Song Qinglong was sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

Despite Mr. Du's repeated insistence that with the country's powerful methods, how could his family have escaped unscathed if they had been involved in those matters? They would have been severely punished.
But aside from close family and friends, who would want you to be doing well?

Du Mansheng has faced far too much criticism!

Even after Xiaoxiao recovered from her illness and returned to school, she was constantly insulted by her classmates.

Giving up the business in City A and developing in the capital might be a new path?
Du Mansheng was a little restless after failing to find two suitable houses.

"Don't worry, there's a third place, isn't there?" Yan Yueqing comforted her with a smile.

The third location is in the western suburbs of the capital, a top-tier low-density community that offers tranquility amidst the bustling city.

As the car entered the tree-lined avenue, the noise was instantly shut out.

The community boasts an extremely high green coverage rate and spacious building spacing, featuring both modern townhouses and several stylish stacked villas with independent courtyards and terraces.

Du Mansheng had his eye on a three-story duplex apartment located in the center of the building.

The first floor features a spacious living room, dining room, and kitchen, connecting to a meticulously tended south-facing courtyard planted with hydrangeas and roses. The second floor houses two spacious suites, each with its own bathroom and walk-in closet. The third floor is a master suite comprising a study, a media room, and an oversized terrace.

"Yueqing, look at this!" Du Mansheng fell in love with it the moment she entered. "The lighting! The layout! The courtyard! It's quiet despite being in a busy area, and I heard the security is top-notch! The key thing is—" she lowered her voice, a hint of pride in her voice, "the building next door is still empty~ If Director Tang likes it, I'll have a great neighbor~"

"Shall we take a closer look?" Yan Yueqing smiled and led the children on a careful tour.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the living room with warmth and brightness. The small courtyard held the subtle fragrance of flowers. The second-floor suite was well-designed, perfect for Du Xiaoxiao and Du Mianmian, offering both privacy and convenience for Du Mansheng to care for them. The third-floor terrace offered expansive views of the central green space of the community and the distant mountain silhouettes.

Du Xiaoxiao fell in love at first sight with the room with the bay window on the second floor: "Mom! If you're sure you want to buy this set, can I have this room? I can put my dolls and books on the bay window!"

Du Mianmian preferred the room next door, which had a softer color scheme and a view of a magnolia tree in full bloom. She whispered, "Mom, I like this one." From here, she could see the small garden downstairs, which would make it easier for her to grow various vegetables in the future.

Like a happy little bird, Tangtang couldn't wait to rush up to the huge third-floor terrace, where she excitedly ran around. Pointing her little finger to the terrace of another vacant villa not far away, she exclaimed, "Wow! You can see right across from here! I want Daddy to buy that one right away! So that when I miss Sister Xiaoxiao and Sister Mianmian, I can just stand on the terrace and call out to them, and they'll hear me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao and Mianmian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy. They quickly followed Tangtang to the terrace, and the three children chattered excitedly about their future "terrace phone calls."

Junyan, who was usually calm and collected, quietly operated his smartwatch, seemingly testing something.

A moment later, a satisfied expression appeared on his little face. He walked to Yan Yueqing's side and whispered, "Mom, the environment here is very quiet, and the wireless and communication signals are very stable. I can also ask Uncle Junyi to come here and set up the necessary shielding equipment to prevent malicious people from harassing us."

"That's wonderful!" Du Mansheng praised, then looked at Yan Yueqing expectantly, her eyes filled with inquiry and a hint of nervousness, as if awaiting the most important approval. "Yueqing, what do you think?"

Yan Yueqing looked around, her gaze sweeping over the cozy living room, the vibrant courtyard, the sun-drenched bedroom, and the expansive terrace, before finally nodding in approval.

“Yes, this place is really nice. The environment is quiet but not remote, the community is well-established, the living facilities are complete, and the lighting and ventilation are perfect!” She smiled at Du Mansheng and added, “Most importantly, the place you choose should feel right.”

"That's wonderful!" Du Mansheng breathed a sigh of relief, a surge of joy welling up inside her. She excitedly opened her arms and hugged Yan Yueqing. "I knew bringing you here was the right decision! The feeling? Of course it's perfect! From the first moment I saw this large terrace, I could imagine us sitting here, drinking afternoon tea, and watching the sunset!"

She immediately turned around and said decisively to the sales consultant who had been patiently waiting beside her and was now beaming with joy, "This is the one! Let's sign the contract!"

The real estate consultant was overjoyed and readily agreed, quickly going to prepare the relevant documents. While Du Mansheng was confirming the contract details with the consultant, Yan Yueqing went up to the third-floor terrace alone.

The afterglow of the setting sun generously painted the sky a captivating golden-red hue, casting a warm and soft filter over the entire tranquil community and the flowers, trees, and shrubs in the courtyard.

A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, bringing with it the delicate and lasting fragrance of roses from the courtyard.

Downstairs, one could faintly hear Du Mansheng clearly explaining the terms and conditions, the children's joyful shouts as they discovered new things in the small garden, and Xiaoxiao and Mianmian's quiet discussions about room decorations.

This ordinary yet heartwarming atmosphere, like a pair of gentle hands, softly brushed against Yan Yueqing's heartstrings, finally allowing her tense nerves to completely relax.

She subconsciously raised her hand, her fingertips touching the cool crescent moon pendant around her neck. The slightly cool touch and the faint starlight within seemed less jarring and unsettling in the warmth of the setting sun and the carefree laughter of the children.

After completing the formalities, Junyan and the three sisters, Xiaoxiao and Mianmian, curiously explored every corner of the small garden.

Taking advantage of the moment, Tangtang quickly dialed her father's number using her smartwatch, urging him urgently and affectionately, "Dad! Aunt Du's house is bought! It's at the address I pointed out to you! The one next door that's exactly the same is still empty! Come quickly! Buy it quickly! I want to be neighbors with my sisters!"

On the terrace, Du Mansheng and Yan Yueqing leaned against the railing, watching the children enjoying themselves downstairs.

Du Mansheng's face showed relief after a heavy burden was lifted: "The house is finally settled, and I feel much more at ease. However, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with the trivial matters of buying furniture and interior decorations next, Yueqing."

She said with a hint of dependence, "You know I hate trouble. Xiaoxiao and Mianmian's enrollment procedures need to be done tomorrow. Asking me to leisurely go to the furniture store and compare and choose from each one would be the death of me."

"Don't worry, I've got it covered." Yan Yueqing readily agreed. "I'll call Junchi right now. He's back in the capital recently and doesn't have anything urgent to do. He can handle this task with ease." She had absolute confidence in Junchi's efficiency and taste.

"Mr. Junchi? That's a real waste of his talents!" Du Mansheng laughed. "When he has time to come here, I'd like to treat him to a proper meal! Back then, that scumbag Song Qinglong... almost killed Xiaoxiao. If it weren't for Mr. Junchi risking his life to help her..."

Thinking about it still makes her feel terrified.

Yan Yueqing patted her shoulder: "Everything is getting better, isn't it?"

"Mmm." Du Mansheng breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with sincere warmth. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid those two would have killed me long ago. How could I be enjoying this wonderful life with Xiaoxiao and Mianmian today?"

Yan Yueqing knew that this matter had been a big blow to her, so she didn't talk about it any further.

After all, Song Qinglong's ending was tragic, and everything is developing in a positive direction.

Recalling and anticipating the malicious consequences you might suffer will only add to your worries.

She changed the subject, saying, "By the way, have Xiaoxiao and Mianmian decided on their schools yet?"

"Not yet. My original plan was to buy a house wherever I could go to school. But... since you're here, do you have any recommendations?"

“Yes, there is. Ji Li attends the Third Primary School in the capital. Although it’s a 20-minute drive from here, it’s very convenient because there’s an elevated highway right outside. The school has top-notch teachers. Tang Tang can also go next year for first grade. I’ll arrange a car to pick her up and drop her off every day. You can just focus on your charity work.”

Du Mansheng's eyes welled up with tears. She recalled how she had neglected her daughter because she was focused on charity. Now, Yan Yueqing even took care of her transportation, and she was finally able to balance her career and family.

She grasped Yan Yueqing's hand and readily agreed, "Okay! Then I won't be polite!"

"Speaking of which, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with." Yan Yueqing was about to leave, and there was no one to take over the charity work at the Baby Project.

She gave a detailed account of what happened over there.

Du Mansheng nodded: "I know, you invested two billion in the Baby Project."

"Yes, the website was developed by Wang Bao and his team, and Jun Jiu has been in charge of managing the subsequent recruitment of visiting staff. But now, he has a lot of things to do, such as the Haidu and C City real estate projects... He's a bit too busy."

Du Mansheng understood: "You want to entrust the Baby Project to me?"

"Hmm. I don't know how long I'll be back from this trip abroad... There are always things Jun Jiu can't take care of, but you've been doing charity work all along, so it should be easy for you to do it and you can continue my wishes."

"Look at you~" Du Mansheng joked, "Continuing your wish? Why are you talking like you're not coming back?"

Yan Yueqing smiled but didn't say anything.

Du Mansheng grasped her hand in return: "Don't worry, I will definitely cherish this opportunity you've given me." (End of Chapter)
