Chapter 377 Family Portrait and Werewolf
Donghai, Huangfu District, Nanjing East Road, Peace Hotel.

As the most iconic building in the Bund complex, the historic Peace Hotel has stood here for more than 100 years.

Although it is not the most luxurious restaurant in Donghai City, nor the restaurant with the best food, but whether it is a banquet or a dinner party, the overall filing level and layout are sufficient if you choose to stay here.

Between the luxurious and brightly lit north and south buildings, a Hongqi sedan with a distinctive license plate and an Alpha business car drove into the parking lot almost one after the other and then headed to the private room to meet up.

"Hello, Ms. Zhao."

The waiter, who had a pretty face and was dressed in historical costumes, bowed to Zhao Yingjun:
"There are already several guests waiting in the box. May I ask if we are having a family dinner today?"

"Correct."

Zhao Yingjun nodded:

"It's just a family meal together, no need for any fancy or decoration."

"Okay, please take a seat. If you need anything, just call me."

The waiter bowed and opened the door of the private room for Zhao Yingjun.

inside.

Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, and Yan Qiaoqiao were already sitting at the dinner table waiting.

Yan Qiaoqiao blinked and looked at the Pomeranian in Zhao Yingjun's arms:
"puppy."

"V~~~~~"

The Pomeranian VV made a happy sound and jumped out of Zhao Yingjun's arms.

It ran quickly under the dining table, then bent down and jumped onto Yan Qiaoqiao's legs, then threw itself into her arms.

"puppy."

Yan Qiaoqiao hugged VV, and the soft dandelion seemed to be a little swollen in her petite arms. From the visual effect, it was as if she was holding a baby Alaska.

“It’s called VV.”

Zhao Yingjun looked at the little girl being intimate with the Pomeranian:

"Just call it by its name. It seems to like you."

Yan Qiaoqiao put her hands under the Pomeranian's armpits and lifted it up:
"VV."

Whispering the Pomeranian's name.

"V~~~~~"

The Pomeranian responded happily.

then.

Yan Qiaoqiao put the Pomeranian on the plate with a serious look:
"Eat meat."

"Gah?"

Pomeranian VV was so scared that his fur stood up and he turned into a dandelion.

"Oh my, Qiaoqiao, how can you put pets on the table? It's so unsanitary!"

Yan Mei hurriedly took VV and put it on the ground, then put all the dishes and chopsticks in front of Yan Qiaoqiao aside and called the waiter:
"Excuse me, could you please change the tableware for us? This one has been touched by the dog."

Zhao Ruihai also sighed lightly.

It felt like the meal hadn't even started yet, but it was already filled with danger, just like a war.

He touched Yan Qiaoqiao's head and gently persuaded:
"Qiaoqiao, we are going to meet a very important guest today, a very good uncle. You have to be polite. This kind of formal occasion is different from home. You have to follow the rules, otherwise... others will not like you and will laugh at grandpa and grandma."

"So, be obedient today. Don't move around or talk nonsense. Just sit here and eat your meal. Tell grandpa what you want to eat. After you're full, this box is big enough, you can take VV to play nearby."

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded obediently.

He extended his right index finger and pointed at Zhao Ruihai's temples:

"White hair."

"Haha, that's right, grandpa has white hair, isn't it? He's old. Come, help grandpa pull them out and see if Qiaoqiao is strong enough!"

As he spoke, Zhao Ruihai turned his head and moved his temples closer to Yan Qiaoqiao.

Unexpectedly, Yan Qiaoqiao has sharp eyes and excellent dynamic vision.

She didn't hesitate or pause, and didn't aim. She just reached out to Zhao Ruihai's ear and pinched the air with both hands! Then she pulled!
Just when Zhao Ruihai hadn't reacted yet...

The white hair was already precisely pinched in Yan Qiaoqiao's fingertips.

Zhao Ruihai was stunned for a moment.

This speed,

This force,

This vision,

So amazing! She is worthy of being my granddaughter!
"it is good!"

He couldn't help but praise:

"You see, Qiaoqiao is making rapid progress, changing every day. Raising Qiaoqiao is such a rewarding experience, and her progress is visible to the naked eye every day."

"That's not the case!"

Yan Mei was also very proud when she talked about it:
"Qiaoqiao is very talented. I've noticed that a long time ago. Not only does she learn things very quickly, but her hearing, eyesight, and hand-foot coordination are all very good."

"Just look at the way she plucked out Old Zhao's white hair just now. It was so smooth and precise. In my opinion, Qiaoqiao's hands will make her a good candidate for becoming a doctor, performing surgery, or conducting cutting-edge research in the future."

"Haha." Zhao Yingjun laughed suddenly:
"Do you really think she is a three-year-old? She is already more than ten years old. It is normal for her to have such hands-on ability. Stop bragging here."

"Besides, she didn't learn it from scratch. She just lost her memory. After Professor Xu Yun passed away, I also learned some knowledge about hibernation and the side effects of memory loss. Simple memory loss like this actually does not affect listening, speaking, reading, writing and physical coordination."

"Even if Qiaoqiao's memory cannot be restored in the end, her basic listening, speaking, reading, writing and motor skills will be restored soon... So you should stop treating her like a child. Set rules when necessary and reprimand her when necessary."

"If you miss this best period of cognitive literacy instruction and fail to develop good habits and manners, it will be difficult to correct them later."

however……

Zhao Yingjun talks seriously about how to raise a child.

The grandparents who were praising their granddaughter over there didn't hear a word she said.

In the eyes of both of them.

My granddaughter is the best in everything.

It's just that I'm too thin.

You must eat more and gain some weight to stay healthy.

Yan Mei turned her head and looked at Zhao Yingjun:
"Don't say such discouraging words. Who said Yan Qiaoqiao's memory can't be restored? Your father has already made an appointment with the best brain expert in the country and the best neurology director in Ruijin Hospital. Tomorrow we will take Qiaoqiao to Ruijin Hospital for a comprehensive examination."

"We need to know about Qiaoqiao's specific situation, including bone age and nutrition. She has no memory and doesn't know how old she is. We can get a rough idea by testing her bone age... This way, we will have an idea of ​​how to raise Qiaoqiao and what school she should go to in the future."

Zhao Ruihai also nodded:
"I mainly want to see if there is any way to help Qiaoqiao recover her memory. In areas that we don't understand, medical technology should be very advanced. Maybe there really is a way to help Qiaoqiao recover her lost memories."

"【As long as Qiaoqiao recovers her memory, she will be able to remember many things.】"

Say it.

The old couple looked at each other, and then glanced at Zhao Yingjun together.

Zhao Yingjun naturally noticed this gaze.

She closed her eyes.

Right now in her home... no, right at the dinner table, the situation is roughly similar to "Werewolf".

Yan Qiaoqiao doesn’t know who she is;

Their parents only knew that Yan Qiaoqiao was related to them by blood, but they did not know what the specific relationship was;
She found out that she and Yan Qiaoqiao were biological mother and daughter, but she did not tell her parents.

How can this be said?
Even if you can open your mouth, what will happen next?
Raising children?

Accept the fact that you have a teenage daughter without being married or having children?
Zhao Yingjun doesn't think he is that magnanimous.

to be frank.

She can't take it.

and so.

She had to find out the truth.

Only a reasonable truth... can make her truly accept this matter and accept this daughter who suddenly appeared.

"It's certainly a good thing to be able to restore memory."

Zhao Yingjun said calmly:
"I am also looking forward to the day when Yan Qiaoqiao recovers her memory. I really hope that domestic brain experts can come up with a solution to end this ridiculous farce."

Squeak————

While everyone was talking, the door of the private room was pushed open by the waiter, and Lin Xian walked in with a smile, carrying two bags of beautifully packaged tea.

Zhao Yingjun immediately stood up and introduced to his parents:

"Dad, Mom, this is Lin Xian, the Lin Xian you've always wanted to meet."

Zhao Ruihai stood up with a smile, took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Xian, and patted his shoulder:

"Hahaha, Lin Xian, you are such a handsome guy! I finally get to see you today!"

Lin Xian nodded and smiled:
"You are too polite. Compared to you, I am just an unknown junior. I still need to learn a lot from you."

"Oh, look at Lin Xian, he's so good at talking! He looks like a very talented person!"

Yan Mei also turned sideways and looked Lin Xian up and down, her eyes full of praise:
"Look at this guy, he's so tall and handsome! And he's also very gentle and refined! No wonder Yingjun always praises you when she comes home for the New Year. Auntie knows at a glance that you are a good kid with a kind heart and noble character!"

"Come on, don't just stand at the door, come in and sit down, we can talk slowly if we have anything to say!"

Lin Xian also closed the door of the private room and placed the two bags of tea leaves in his hand on the tea table next to him:
"Uncle and aunt, this is the new Longjing tea from our Hangzhou City. It was newly roasted this year. I know you have everything you need, and I don't know what gifts to bring to see you, so I brought some tea from home. It can be considered a specialty of my hometown."

Families like Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei naturally like polite children. Seeing that Lin Xian was so sensible and polite, they also felt a liking for him and advised:

"Look at you, Lin Xian. You are so polite. Your aunt and I came here just to thank you. You brought gifts to visit us... When you come to the capital, be sure to let Yingjun and us know. We will treat you well in the capital."

"Now that everyone is here, let's start serving the food."

Zhao Ruihai called the waiter to start serving the dishes, and asked the waiter to open the wine he brought, pour it into the wine dispenser and bring it up.

Lin Xian took off his coat, hung it on the wall, and then sat down to the right of Zhao Ruihai.

Yan Qiaoqiao was sitting between Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei.

To the left of Lin Xian is Zhao Ruihai and to the right is Zhao Yingjun.

To the right of Zhao Yingjun is Yan Mei again.

This box is not big. After all, there are only five people and a dog. The smaller it is, the more cozy it is.

"Let me introduce you to Lin Xian."

Two plates of cold dishes were served. After they raised their glasses together, Zhao Yingjun took the initiative to offer to introduce Lin Xian, holding out his hand:

"This is my father, Zhao Ruihai. We have talked before, so you must have an impression of him."

"This is my mother, Yan Mei, who just retired from her teaching position this year."

"this……"

Zhao Yingjun's palm pointed at Yan Qiaoqiao who was grinding chopsticks in the middle.

Momentarily choked.

He tightened his lips, pursed them, and then slowly said:

"This is Yan Qiaoqiao, the granddaughter of a relative from my mother's hometown."

Lin Xian smiled and waved to Yan Qiaoqiao:
"Hello, Qiaoqiao."

Yan Qiaoqiao stopped what she was doing, stretched out her judgment chopsticks, and pointed them directly at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian."

"No, no, no..." Zhao Ruihai quickly pushed down Yan Qiaoqiao's chopsticks. Pointing at people with chopsticks is really uncivilized and impolite.

He smiled apologetically and looked at Lin Xian:

"This... little girl from my hometown doesn't have any rules, so don't mind it."

Then he touched Yan Qiaoqiao's head and said to her:

"Qiaoqiao, you can't call elders by their names. You have to call them by their titles. This is your uncle Lin Xian. Come, call him uncle."

Yan Qiaoqiao blinked and looked at Lin Xian:

"uncle."

Then he turned his head and looked at Zhao Yingjun with clear eyes:

"elder sister."

???

Lin Xian’s brain was a bit overloaded and he couldn’t figure it out.

What kind of complicated family relationship is this?

Zhao Yingjun just introduced that Yan Qiaoqiao is the granddaughter of Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei.

This is not difficult to understand.

The little girl has the same surname as Yan Mei, so they must be relatives from her mother's side.

Although I don’t know whether this relationship is close or distant...but in terms of seniority, I must call Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei grandpa and grandma.

Calling me uncle is not excessive considering my age, as I have a nephew who is about the same age as her.

but.

How come when it comes to Zhao Yingjun, she becomes the elder sister?
Don't mention Lin Xian...

Even if the super artificial intelligence VV comes, this family ethical relationship will become unclear.

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at Zhao Yingjun, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Does it mean recognizing this uncle... and tacitly accepting him as Zhao Yingjun's father?

Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian and smiled. He stretched out his index finger, pointed at his head, and rotated his fingertip twice:

"This little girl, how should I put it, her brain is a little bit..."

"Oh oh oh."

Lin Xian understood immediately.

As soon as he entered the room, he felt that the little girl's eyes were a little too clear, even revealing a hint of ignorance and stupidity.

Now that Zhao Yingjun explained it, he understood.

It turns out that this little girl has some problems with her brain. We can't expect so much from her then. Just let her call herself whatever she wants.

"Qiaoqiao, just call me brother."

Lin Xian looked at this little girl who became cuter and more likable the more he looked at her:

"I'm not that much older than you, so just call me brother. It makes me look younger."

Yan Qiaoqiao is very obedient.

Just like the big-faced cat, it has not yet developed any cunning and cunning, and is at the stage where it believes whatever others say:

"elder brother."

As always, she was brief and to the point.

"This little girl is really cute." Lin Xian looked around the table and praised:
"And she is really beautiful, with natural beauty, like a flower and jade."

Yan Qiaoqiao lowered her head.

My eyes met with the wide-open eyes of the Pomeranian VV.

One person and one dog couldn't understand at all...

Every word spoken by the four adults at the dinner table was full of worldly wisdom and sophistication.

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei, seeing that Lin Xian had such high emotional intelligence and was able to resolve the awkwardness, also felt that this little boy was indeed good. They could tell from just a few words that he was excellent in all aspects.

"Come on, Lin Xian, let them drink their drinks. It won't interfere with our drinking. Let's have another drink."

Zhao Ruihai raised his glass and drank with Lin Xian, turning the topic away from Yan Qiaoqiao.

The matter involving Yan Qiaoqiao is indeed very complicated.

He had no intention of explaining it to Lin Xian in detail, in order to avoid being laughed at by others.

"Last year during the Chinese New Year, after Yingjun told us about how you saved her from the criminals, your aunt and I have been thinking about coming to Donghai to find an opportunity to thank you specifically."

After drinking it all, Zhao Ruihai put down his glass, looked at Lin Xian, and said slowly:
"As a result, there has been no suitable opportunity. So, I have waited until now to meet you. It is indeed impolite. I hope you don't mind."

"No, you're too polite."

Lin Xian said:

"I started working at Ms. Zhao's company after graduation. She took great care of me, but I never had a chance to repay her. In comparison, what I did that day was to save myself, and it was also what I should do for Ms. Zhao."

"To be honest, I was able to establish and operate my company thanks to the help of Ms. Zhao. If I really want to thank someone, I should thank her... It can be said that without Ms. Zhao, I wouldn't be who I am today."

After hearing this, Zhao Yingjun lowered his head and smiled.

She put the hair that fell on her cheeks behind her ears, raised her head and said:
"Lin Xian, since you have left MX Company and have your own business, you don't need to call me Mr. Zhao anymore. It seems strange. Just call me [Yingjun] like my parents do. We have such a good relationship. There is no need to be so restrained and awkward. Just treat it like you are having a meal at home."

……

After Zhao Yingjun said this, Lin Xian remembered that he seemed to have always addressed Zhao Yingjun as Mr. Zhao.

The main reason is that he came to MX Company as soon as he graduated.

After calling him Mr. Zhao for so many years, it’s a bit hard to get used to his sudden change of words.

But since the other party has said so, I can't refute this face:

"Ok."

Lin Xian agreed, clinked glasses with Zhao Ruihai, chatted about some things in life, and answered some of Zhao Ruihai's questions.

Across from her, Yan Mei used a serving chopstick to put some meat on Yan Qiaoqiao's plate and said patiently:

"Qiaoqiao, stop playing with VV. Eat first, then play after you're full."

VV?

Lin Xian was a little surprised and turned to look at Zhao Yingjun:
"VV is here too?"

Zhao Yingjun moved his chin and glanced at Yan Qiaoqiao:

"No, VV jumped onto Qiaoqiao's lap as soon as she came in and was extremely affectionate with her."

"It's strange... When VV saw Qiaoqiao for the first time, he was unusually friendly and familiar, just like the first time he met you, he immediately stuck to her and rubbed against her in various ways."

"This dog really impressed me. It seems that it is familiar with everyone except me. It is attached to everyone except me."

Finish this sentence.

She thought about it and shook her head again:
"That's not the case. I thought about it carefully. When VV saw my relatives during the Chinese New Year, he ignored them and was very aloof. He bared his teeth when they got close to him."

"It seems... it seems that VV is special only to you and Qiaoqiao. I really don't know what special magic you two have."

Lin Xian straightened up slightly.

really.

I saw the dandelion VV on Yan Qiaoqiao’s leg.

I felt so comfortable and at ease that... I actually ignored myself for so long.

This inexplicably made Lin Xian feel a little lost.

What happened to the agreement that VV is the closest to me?
How come you get tired of the old and fall in love with the new so quickly?

After looking at the VV on Yan Qiaoqiao's leg, Lin Xian moved his eyes upwards and finally had the opportunity to observe Yan Qiaoqiao.

I was busy with socializing just now and didn't pay much attention to this little girl.

Now take a closer look...

It seems so!
He looked at Zhao Yingjun to the right and Yan Qiaoqiao to the left, and they really felt like real sisters!
Whether it is the eyebrows, face shape, or facial features, they are almost exactly the same.

Are Zhao Yingjun’s mother’s genes so strong?

However, some differences can still be seen. The ears, forehead and chin are obviously different from Zhao Yingjun.

At first glance, she is indeed stunning, but after looking at her a few more times, I no longer think she is the same as Zhao Yingjun.

Lin Xian rarely has the opportunity to interact with teenage girls.

I experienced two of these some time ago.

The fake Yu Xi and the real Yu Xi, two murderous ghosts.

However, the two Yu Xis are obviously one or two years older than Yan Qiaoqiao. In terms of physique, they are also much stronger, with many signs of exercise on their bodies and obvious muscle lines.

In contrast.

Yan Qiaoqiao’s physique is too petite, even so thin that it makes people feel a little sorry for her.

He was a little shorter, probably just around 1.5 meters, with thin arms and legs, and looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

of course.

If we talk about the biggest difference between Yan Qiaoqiao and the real and fake Yu Xi, it is naturally the eyes.

Whether it was the real Yu Xi or the fake Yu Xi, their eyes emitted a creepy and bright blue light, and their eyes were sharp and full of murderous intent.

And Yan Qiaoqiao's eyes...

Don’t talk about the dark ones.

Lin Xian could only read "Aba Aba Aba" from her eyes...

This moment.

Lin Xian recalled the issue he had discussed with Jask.

[Did the real Yuxi, that is, the time-space assassin Lin Yuxi, disappear from this time and space? ]

Jask's thoughts at the time were definitely gone. The evidence was that the blue USB flash drive from the future in his hand turned into blue stardust after the closed loop of time and space was destroyed.

and so.

The girl who travels through time from the future will naturally be unable to close the space-time logic due to the destruction of entangled space-time particles, and then turn into blue stardust and disappear.

It was the first time for Lin Xian and Jask to destroy the space-time loop. They had no experience and really didn’t know what the outcome would be.

Moreover, when Lin Yuxi saw that Jask was about to destroy the space-time particles, he quickly jumped out the window and ran away, which also prevented Lin Xian and Jask from verifying the result.

Lin Yuxi's facial data has long been entered into the Skynet system. Once she is photographed by a surveillance camera anywhere in Dragon Country, the police will be notified immediately.

After calling the police, Liu An, director of the National Security Agency, would definitely remind himself.

But the fact is...

Over the past few days, everything was calm and the Skynet system did not capture any figures that looked like Lin Yuxi.

That means, there seem to be only two possible outcomes for Lin Yuxi:

1. She hid in the deep mountains and forests, without exposing her whereabouts to any surveillance cameras.

2. Lin Yuxi indeed turned into blue stardust and disappeared.

Lin Xian was extremely looking forward to the second one.

The Time and Space Assassin should leave as soon as possible, as he doesn't want to go through a life-and-death chase again.

Now that he has no "Terminator" to protect him, if he is really chased by the time and space assassin again, his life will be in danger.

and.

There was another thing that Lin Xian was very concerned about.

[If Lin Yuxi has turned into blue stardust and disappeared, then will the virus that Jask spread on the Internet, which is specifically designed to hunt down super artificial intelligence, also disappear at the same time? ]

If it really disappeared.

Then you can try to revive VV.

With VV's help, my combat effectiveness will reach its peak again, and many problems will no longer be problems.

Then let’s set it after… the next dream changes.

This is what Lin Xian thought.

If every change in the dream and every shift and jump in the world line means the breaking of a closed loop of time and space and the opening of a new closed loop.

It is certain that the more the closed loop is destroyed, the greater the chance that the virus will disappear from the network.

He now only has one VV fragment left.

But he didn't dare to act rashly, and eventually a mistake led to VV's real death.

……

"Lin Xian, I heard from Yingjun that you are also an only child?"

After three rounds of drinks, most of the food on the table had been eaten.

Yan Qiaoqiao had already eaten her fill and had a round belly. She was playing hide-and-seek with her Pomeranian dog VV in the box, chasing each other.

Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian also began to chat happily about family matters.

Yan Mei looked at Lin Xian:

"As an only child like you, you should think about your parents, get married and have children as soon as possible, and let your parents have grandchildren as soon as possible. This is what true filial piety means."

"You said... if you had more brothers and sisters, then parents would definitely not push you, right? But you are all only children, so we can only count on you to carry on the family line. Parents in the world are pitiful, and sometimes we have no choice but to push you."

Listening to Yan Mei's nagging.

Zhao Yingjun crossed his arms, glanced at Lin Xian, and gave him a look that said, "Look, I told you so."

What can Lin Xian say?
I could only smile helplessly, remain silent and say nothing.

But Yan Mei did not stop persuading and continued:

"In fact, from the perspective of old-age care, only children like you should marry someone from a family that is not an only child and has brothers and sisters."

?

A question mark popped up above Zhao Yingjun's head:
"why?"

“Because there is less pressure on elderly care!”

Yan Mei explained:
"Look, if both parties in a marriage are only children, then in the future, the two of you will have to support four elderly people and two children. How stressful it will be!"

"If there is a brother or sister on either side of the boy or girl, it will be a big difference. The pressure of taking care of the parents will be reduced instantly, and there will be someone to help them if they have health problems... Don't you think so?"

"forget it."

Zhao Yingjun shook his head decisively, his position firm:
"[My thoughts are different from yours. I think it's better to find an only child.]"

"In today's society, many relationships are difficult to get along with. It is impossible for a family to be absolutely fair. There will always be various conflicts and misunderstandings."

"Nowadays, on the Internet, there are all kinds of brothers who support their brothers and sisters-in-law, causing chaos in both families... including brothers fighting over family property and not supporting their parents. In comparison, families with only one child have fewer troubles and worries."

"Hey, what you said is too extreme!" Yan Mei snorted and retorted:
"Those are just jokes on the Internet. In real life..."

“#%￥#&*（##）”

"#￥%……%（*）"

???

Lin Xian sat up straight, feeling very uncomfortable.

What happened?
How come this mother and daughter started debating right at the dinner table about whether an only child should date an only child?
The two were certainly not arguing.

It's just that the debate was a little intense, especially Zhao Yingjun. It was rare to see her refute a point so seriously and resolutely.

Maybe this also explains...

Every child will eventually have a debate with their parents about the issue of urging them to get married.

Lin Xian only hoped that the war between mother and daughter would not spread to him.

Don't let the two of them turn around and ask for their opinions...Lin Xian, what do you think? What do you think?
That would be embarrassing.

It is difficult for a judge to settle family disputes. You, the Zhao family, should solve your own affairs.

Lin Xian picked up the water cup and began to drink water tactically. According to convention, the drinking period is in a do not disturb and invisible state.

Can bear fruit.

But he couldn't guard against the other one with Fiery Eyes!
Swish.

An index finger as thin and tender as the root of a scallion pointed straight to the back of his head.

Lin Xian turned sideways and lowered his head, just in time to meet Yan Qiaoqiao's sharp gaze.

Her face was serious, and her eyes were fixed on the back of Lin Xian's head:

"White hair."

"what?"

Lin Xian was stunned, and tilted his head downwards as if conditioned reflex:

“Do I have any gray hair?”

Seeing Lin Xian tilt his head, Yan Qiaoqiao also activated her conditioned reflex.

It’s the same game that her grandfather used to play with her.

She stretched out her fingers sharply and swiftly, and with lightning speed, she precisely grabbed the white hair! She pulled it hard!
"hiss!"

Lin Xian felt a sharp pain on his scalp and took a breath!

This commotion also interrupted the battle between Zhao Yingjun and Yan Mei. The three members of the Zhao family looked over here and immediately taught Yan Qiaoqiao a lesson:

"Qiaoqiao! How can you be so unreasonable!"

"what are you doing!"

"Come back quickly! Why are you pulling Lin Xian's hair for no reason?"

Lin Xian rubbed his scalp and looked at Yan Qiaoqiao:
“Has it been unplugged?”

Yan Qiaoqiao nodded seriously and raised her right hand.

I saw...

With the tips of her thumb and index finger, she precisely grasped a few centimeters long white hair, without causing any damage.

"There really is."

Lin Xian was slightly surprised.

He is only in his twenties, and in all his years of study and work, he has never had a single gray hair.

It seems that this period is really too tiring, too exhausting, and too worrying.

I guess he was too anxious when he was fleeing in the United States, so he had white hair.

Anyway.

You can't blame Yan Qiaoqiao in front of the Zhao family.

Say.

Yan Qiaoqiao's original intention was to help him pull out his gray hair, and her method was indeed a bit rough, but there was no malicious intent.

So, Lin Xian smiled and rubbed Yan Qiaoqiao's head:
"That's great. Thank you."

however.

Just such a smile.

Just put these two faces close together for comparison...

Zhao Ruihai, Yan Mei, and Zhao Yingjun couldn't help but open their eyes wide!
His eyes quickly scanned and compared Lin Xian and Yan Qiaoqiao's faces.

The two of them were far away just now and couldn't be seen.

but!

Now they are almost face to face!
Many small details that were not visible before are now all visible in the comparison!

ear……

Forehead...

jaw……

This!
Even Zhao Yingjun was shocked by this discovery!
Although it cannot be said to be exactly the same.

But at least.

Yan Qiaoqiao's ears, forehead and chin are extremely similar to Lin Xian's ears, forehead and chin!
This kind of detail cannot be seen if you are a little further away.

Now this picture of them side by side, face to face, is so rare, you can see it clearly at a glance!
"Forehead……"

Zhao Ruihai didn't know what to say for a moment.

Swallowed a few times.

Hesitant to speak.

finally.

He swallowed the words in his throat.

Take a step back and stand up from your seat:

"Um, I'm going to the bathroom."

Then he looked at his wife next to him:

"are you going?"

As an old married couple for so many years, how could they not know what this hint means?
Yan Mei also stood up quickly and wiped her mouth with a napkin:
"Go, go, go. I just said I was going to go, but I don't know where the bathroom is."

talking.

She and Zhao Ruihai walked to the door and looked back at the three people in the box who looked like a "family of three":

"Yingjun, your dad and I are going to the bathroom, you guys continue chatting."

Finished.

The box door slammed shut.

At this time, Zhao Yingjun also frowned slightly and stared at the white hair pinched by Yan Qiaoqiao's fingertips.

She didn't dare to think about it.

I dare not think too deeply about it.

I don't even dare to think too much.

She also sat up from the chair, stretched out her hand, held Yan Qiaoqiao's right hand, pulled her back from Lin Xian, and taught her in a calm tone:
"Qiaoqiao, you can't be so rude outside. Even if you intend to help others, you must obtain their consent and permission. Hurry... apologize to Brother Lin Xian."

Yan Qiaoqiao blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Lin Xian:

"Brother, apologize."

"Oh, okay, sorry sorry."

Lin Xian just smiled. How could he be angry at such a cute little girl with a bad brain?

By now, after seeing so many incredible actions by Yan Qiaoqiao, Lin Xian has long accepted the setting of this character who is a little mentally retarded or even mentally retarded.

I can only say... I hope Yan Qiaoqiao will suffer less grievances and bullying when she grows up. As for intelligence, at this age, it is estimated that it will not develop again.

Lin Xian couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Yan Qiaoqiao's biological parents.

Giving birth to such a stupid girl...

this life.

It must be a lot of worry, right?
Zhao Yingjun tapped Yan Qiaoqiao on the head:
"I'm not asking my brother to apologize! I'm asking you to apologize to my brother! Say sorry now."

"sorry."

Yan Qiaoqiao repeated it honestly.

"Okay, sit here and eat some staple food. I just played VV with you for so long, you must be hungry, right?"

Zhao Yingjun pressed Yan Qiaoqiao onto the chair next to her as if she was playing with a doll, then released the grip on her little hand.

Yan Qiaoqiao tilted her head in confusion.

Looking at my empty fingertips and the white hair that has disappeared:
“White—” “White buns, right?”

Zhao Yingjun quickly interrupted her and quickly took a bun and stuffed it into Yan Qiaoqiao's mouth:
"Okay, eat slowly and don't choke."

Then he turned to look at Lin Xian and smiled helplessly:
"I'm sorry, I originally said I didn't want to bring a child with me, but my parents dote on their children, so I had no choice. I also felt uneasy leaving Yan Qiaoqiao at home, so..."

Lin Xian didn't care and shook his head:

"It's okay. Yan Qiaoqiao is very cute. Maybe she will be sensible when she grows up."

Zhao Yingjun hooked up the loose hair on her cheek with her left hand and hung it on her ear.

Right hand...

But at an angle where Lin Xian couldn't see, he reached into his trouser pocket and put something light in it.

The Pomeranian VV at the corner of the carpet once again captured the entire scene of intrigue!

It sighed inwardly.

Hey.

This house is really terrible.

If the dog has an afterlife, it would like to be reborn into a family with simpler relationships and less scheming.

The Zhao family is really not a place for dogs to stay.

It looks like a happy family reunion dinner, but why does it always turn into intrigue and conspiracy?
Forget it.

tired.

It dragged its exhausted body and arrived at Lin Xian's feet step by step.

Lin Xian lowered his head.

Seeing the long-missed Dandelion, and also the old comrade with whom I once made the "VV Promise".

But at this time.

Like a wilted bouquet of flowers, it was listless and lying on its own leather shoes.

"What's wrong VV?"

Lin Xian asked with concern:
"Are you depressed again?"

He leaned down, put his hands under the Pomeranian's armpits, and held it up to his eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

VV looked at Lin Xian with eyes full of regret and sadness.

They were speechless.

But it seems to be saying...

You're screwed, bro.

……

Same floor, end of corridor.

Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei stood here, looking worried.

"Did you see it?" Zhao Ruihai asked.

"Of course I saw it..."

Yan Mei also frowned:

"If I hadn't noticed... could I have followed you out?"

"If Lin Xian and Yan Qiaoqiao hadn't been sitting right next to each other, I wouldn't have noticed it at all...their chins, foreheads, and ears are almost like they were carved from the same mold!"

"What the hell is going on, Lao Zhao?"

Zhao Ruihai was silent for a while.

A long sigh:

"You don't have to ask me. I guess we both have the same thoughts. I was just wondering why Yingjun would argue so fiercely with you about the issue of only children at a dinner party with [outsiders] present?"

"Now that I think about it, isn't Lin Xian an only child? Plus, he and Yan Qiaoqiao are so similar in those details..."

"Goodness, it turns out that we two are the real [outsiders] in this box today!"

Yan Mei couldn't figure it out:

"But if you say Qiaoqiao is the child of Lin Xian and Ying Jun, then that doesn't look like it! It's not a question of whether they look alike or not. They are both so young, and Lin Xian has only graduated from university for two or three years, and Ying Jun has also been studying abroad for three or four years."

"Even if they secretly had a child together, how could they have such a big child?"

"No, I have to figure this out. I haven't had time to do a paternity test for the hair I took from Yingjun. I wanted to do it tomorrow while I was checking Qiaoqiao's body..."

"How about when I go back later, I'll find a way to get a strand of Lin Xian's hair, and then do some identification tomorrow to see if the three of them are really a family of three!"

Zhao Ruihai shook his head.

Give up, wave your hands:
"Forget it, forget it, let's just leave it at that. I think as parents, we can't interfere too much in matters like this."

"No matter what the reason is, no matter if it's scientific or not, it happened. Qiaoqiao does exist, and she looks so much like Yingjun and Lin Xian..."

"Hey, they say it's hard for an honest judge to settle family disputes. I didn't expect that this kind of thing would end up happening to the two of us. I can't be like this, I haven't even prepared myself for this, and my son-in-law and daughter just popped out of nowhere!"

Yan Mei turned around.

Looking at the two people in the bathroom mirror.

We are all old.

Not so young anymore.

then……

He let out a long breath and said slowly:
"In fact, Lin Xian is a good kid. I believe Yingjun has good vision. It's just that our relationship with Yingjun hasn't been very good over the years. It's understandable that she doesn't want to tell us something."

"Old Zhao, just like you said, Yingjun's matter, Qiaoqiao's matter, and even Lin Xian's matter...it seems that we really can't interfere so much. No matter what the situation and relationship between the three of them are, if our parents get involved at this time, it may end up ruining a good thing."

"Yes."

Zhao Ruihai nodded:

"Let the children solve their own problems."

"I can only say that perhaps the two of us came to the East China Sea at a very inappropriate time. It was just an unfortunate coincidence."

He thought about it.

Turning around, looking at the box at the other end of the corridor, he said softly:
"In a few days, let's find a reason to return to the imperial capital and not stay in the East China Sea anymore."

"what?"

Yan Mei raised her head:
"What about Qiaoqiao? What should we do with Qiaoqiao?"

"What else can we do? Children have to follow their parents."

Zhao Ruihai smiled bitterly:
"Let's think of a way to leave Qiaoqiao to Yingjun."

"I've watched Yingjun grow up since she was a child, and I know her character. I can see that she is also very entangled in the issue of Qiaoqiao's background... With her seriousness, she will not give up until she finds out the truth about this matter."

"Moreover, I believe that Yingjun is definitely a responsible person with all the education we have given her. The same goes for Lin Xian, who will definitely not be irresponsible. So, if Qiaoqiao is really their daughter..."

Humph.

He snorted softly, and couldn't imagine what the scene would be like:
"I'm really looking forward to...how they are going to explain it to us."
