In the afternoon, Shen Jinglan took her child back to her sister's house.

Shen Jingyue didn't go out this afternoon; she's practicing calligraphy in her study.

Hearing the commotion outside, she put down her brush and went out, only to see Xiaolan returning with her two children.

"Auntie!" the two children called out with a smile when they saw Shen Jingyue.

"You're back. Xiao Chen was talking about you two while we were eating, asking when you were coming back."

"Are Xiao Chen and the others inside?"

"Yes, they're all inside. Go find them."

After the two children ran inside to find Xiao Chen and the others, Shen Jingyue pulled Xiao Lan along to the study.

"Why did she want to bring you back?"

Shen Jinglan sat down on the small sofa in the study and said helplessly, "My sister-in-law asked me to help introduce her daughter to work in your shop."

"But I didn't agree, and after dinner I brought the child back."

"How old is her daughter?" Shen Jingyue asked.

If the person has decent character, then we can arrange something for them.

"She's seventeen, dressed sloppily, and her hair is dyed all sorts of weird colors. She often hangs out with bad people. I heard that her sister-in-law arranged a blind date for her before, but she didn't like him and even had him beaten up."

"If someone like that were in your shop, how could I possibly recommend them for a job?"

Shen Jingyue: "That is indeed a bit inappropriate."

The most important thing for Shen Jingyue when looking for someone is good character. If they are the kind of person who is restless, her shop will definitely not hire them.

"So I didn't agree. When I left, my sister-in-law looked really upset, and even my mother-in-law said I was heartless and didn't know how to help my niece."

I ignored them and just left.

"Next time, I will definitely not take the child back by myself. I will let Song Yiran go by herself."

At first, Shen Jinglan really wanted to get along well with Song's mother. In the years before they got married, Shen Jinglan would occasionally buy gifts for Song's mother and send them back.

But every time she went home with Song Yiran, she found that her mother-in-law had not changed her opinion of her at all, and even her words showed her dislike for her.

No matter how much she does or how much she tries to please, it will be the same.

Gradually, she stopped doing those pointless efforts. Since she didn't live with them anyway, even if she went back sometimes, she would only stay for a few days before leaving.

So now Shen Jinglan treats them all like relatives. If you're nice to me, I'm nice to you; if you're not, I'll leave. I'm not going to suffer any more mistreatment.

Shen Jinglan took her child here for the summer vacation and then went back home. When she returned, Song Yiran specially came to pick her up.

Actually, after Shen Jinglan left the Song family that time, Song's mother also called Song Yiran and asked him to persuade Shen Jinglan to introduce Yunyue to a job or something.

But Song Yiran didn't agree. Yun Yue's niece was spoiled rotten. With her personality, if she really introduced her to Xiao Lan's sister's shop, who would take responsibility if something happened later?

So he refused outright.

No matter what Song's mother said, it was no use. In the end, Song Yiran simply hung up the phone.

Of course, he didn't tell Shen Jinglan about this, so as not to make her overthink it.

The day before he went back, Shen Jinglan asked him if he wanted to go home and visit.

Otherwise, if Song's mother knew that he had returned to the capital and was not coming home to visit, she would probably start nagging him again.

Song Yiran refused. If he went back, his mother would nag him endlessly.

He didn't even need to guess; he knew exactly what his mother would say, things he wouldn't want to say anyway.

Hearing him say that, Shen Jinglan didn't say anything.

The next day, Shen Jingyue drove them to the train station.

Xiao Chen and the other two came to see them off.

"Auntie, will you come again during winter break?" Xiao Yi asked.

I really like my two younger cousins; there are still so many places I haven't taken them to explore yet.

Zhi Nan and Zhi Bei looked at their mother with expectant eyes.

They had a great time at their aunt's house this summer and also really liked their older cousins.

"Come on, I'll bring them over to play with you guys when we have a holiday."

Shen Jinglan also knew that they had gotten along very well during this time, and the two children were very happy. She could send them over to play whenever they had free time during winter and summer vacations.

"Okay." Xiao Yi and the others were very happy.

The train arrived quickly, and Shen Jingyue saw them off before preparing to go home with the children.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to board the train after leaving the train station, she saw a boy being grabbed by two people, one on each side, not far from the station entrance.

Xiao Yu recognized that person; it was Song Ye.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing? Get in the car!"

Just as Shen Jingyue was about to get into the car, she saw Xiao Yu standing there motionless and quickly reminded her.

"Mom, that's my classmate. It seems like he's in trouble."

Xiao Yu pointed to two tall men not far ahead, each grabbing a young boy named Song Ye from either side.

Song Ye seemed to be resisting and struggled desperately, looking like a child trafficker trying to snatch a child.

Xiao Yu thought so too, so when she saw Song Ye being grabbed and about to be taken away, she said to her mother, "Mom, let's go and see, she's my classmate."

Shen Jingyue also saw the scene. To be honest, the person really did look quite similar. But are human traffickers really this brazen nowadays, grabbing people and taking them away when there are people coming and going at the train station entrance?

"Okay, you guys get in the car first, Mom will go check on things."

Shen Jingyue was worried that these human traffickers had accomplices, and since they were all still young, she didn't want them to go with her, fearing she wouldn't be able to keep an eye on them later.

"Mom, I'll go with you. You two get in the car first." Xiao Chen got out of the car and walked to his mother's side.

Xiao Chen is now sixteen years old and is a head taller than Shen Jingyue.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi obediently got into the car.

Shen Jingyue led Xiao Chen over.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Jingyue walked over and shouted sternly.

The two men holding Song Ye paused for a moment upon hearing the sound, and looked back in the direction of the sound, only to see Shen Jingyue and Xiao Chen walking towards them.

Some of the people around also stopped in their tracks out of curiosity.

Song Ye also looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Jingyue.

Moreover, he recognized her; Song Ye had seen her at a parent-teacher conference at school and knew she was Xiao Yu's mother.

"Let him go right now! What are you doing holding a child in broad daylight?"

Shen Jingyue rushed over and rescued Song Ye from their grasp, then pulled him behind her, looking at the two of them warily.

Before the two could react, Song Ye was pulled behind Shen Jingyue.

One of the burly men looked at Shen Jingyue with hostility and said, "Who are you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

"I'm going to meddle in other people's business anyway. Everyone, come and see! These two are acting like they're kidnapping a child in public. They must be human traffickers."
