My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

As soon as Section Chief Li left, Ruan Jiaojiao, unwilling to give up, knelt down and crawled to Qiao Xiaqing.

Clinging tightly to Qiao Xiaqing's trouser leg, he pleaded, "Mom, I beg you, please help me. You must still have a way, right?"

Qiao Xiaqing rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Get up first, let me think about it."

"I don't want to. I won't get up unless you agree to help me." Ruan Jiaojiao's coquettish and sobbing voice evoked memories for Qiao Xiaqing.

Her precious daughter was the same way when she was little, always clinging to her legs and acting spoiled, and she couldn't help but soften every time.

The same thing is true now, even though it's not her daughter who's being affectionate.

She pulled her up, pressed her back into her seat, and asked sternly, "Jiaojiao, tell me honestly, why have you been targeting Ruan Tinghe all this time?"

Of course, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't tell the truth, and she had already prepared a lie.

"I... I heard that Brother Shen Yan is going to marry that widow and become her stepfather!"

"What?" Qiao Xiaqing stood up in shock. "Who is he going to marry?"

"It's that widow, Ruan Tinghe, who has three illegitimate children and is having an affair with the Yin brothers!"

Ruan Jiaojiao kept repeating "widow" and "bastard" to remind Qiao Xiaqing that Ruan Tinghe was just a piece of trash and was not worthy of Shen Yan at all!

"Mom, how could Shen Yan, who is so outstanding, marry a woman like that? That's why I'm trying every possible way to get rid of Ruan Tinghe and make her find someone to marry as soon as possible, so she won't ruin Shen Yan's life!"

"Mom, I know I did something wrong, but I was only thinking of Brother Shen Yan. I love him so much!"

"Mom, please, please help me think of a way, I really don't want to leave."

Ruan Jiaojiao pleaded repeatedly, her tears never stopping.

Qiao Xiaqing couldn't help but worry when she recalled her son's previous defense of Ruan Tinghe.

Could his son really have fallen for Ruan Tinghe?

But he and Jiaojiao already have a son!

No, the Qiao family has strict family rules, and the Shen family has been upright for generations. Shen Yan absolutely cannot abandon his wife and children!

"Okay! I promise you." Qiao Xiaqing made up her mind. "I'll call right now and ask Ayan to come back immediately. He's so smart, he'll definitely be able to help you think of a solution."

"No need to fight anymore," Shen Yan's voice rang out from the doorway.

He had barely slept these past two days because of the case; now his eyes were dark and his stubble had grown on his chin, making him look somewhat unkempt.

However, he had no odor and his clothes were clean.

"Son!" Qiao Xiaqing exclaimed with surprise at first, then asked anxiously, "Have you heard anything about your sister?"

Shen Yan did not answer immediately, but instead poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down in large gulps.

A cold gaze fell on Ruan Jiaojiao, who felt a chill run down her spine and was very uncomfortable being stared at. She could only turn to Qiao Xiaqing for help.

"Mom, you just promised me..."

Qiao Xiaqing could only put her daughter's matter aside for now. "Ayan, Jiaojiao had some trouble today, you..."

"Mom, I won't help her. She has to leave."

"But……"

Qiao Xiaqing was about to say something when Shen Yan interrupted her again: "Mom, if you want to find your sister, kick her out."

"Why?" Qiao Xiaqing asked, confused. "What does your sister's matter have to do with Jiaojiao?"

Shen Yan wasn't in a hurry to explain; he just stared at Ruan Jiaojiao coolly.

Qiao Xiaqing immediately understood what he meant.

"Jiaojiao, go back to your room and rest. I'll do my best to help you."

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't want to rest; she also wanted to know what Shen Nian's matter had to do with her!

Is there anything she can't hear?

Unfortunately, Qiao Xiaqing didn't give her a chance at all. After leaving her behind, she hurriedly took Shen Yan back to her bedroom and closed the door, completely eliminating any chance for her to know the truth.

Just then, the effects of the drug she had been suppressing surged back violently. With no one watching her, she no longer needed to endure it!

Shen Yan just happened to be back, which presented her with a great opportunity!

Ruan Jiaojiao quietly opened the door to Shen Yan's guest room, stripped herself naked, and, blushing, crawled into bed, shyly fantasizing about what they would do when Shen Yan returned to his room...

In Qiao Xiaqing's bedroom, Qiao Xiaqing eagerly grabbed her son's hand and pressed him for answers.

"Ah Yan, tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Does Ruan Tinghe know where your sister is?"

"She doesn't know where her sister is."

"Then what do you mean?!" Qiao Xiaqing was extremely agitated. "Where exactly is your sister?!"

Shen Yan pressed her down to sit on the bed. "Mom, calm down. Hehe really doesn't know where her sister is, but..."

Shen Yan took out photos and portraits, "Hehe can draw what her younger sister will look like when she grows up, based on photos of Niannian when she was little."

Shen Yan had been busy searching for clues about his sister in the case, so he kept the photos and portraits with him.

If he hadn't suddenly received a call from Li Liang informing him of a major incident in the family compound, he wouldn't have rushed back so urgently.

With trembling hands, Qiao Xiaqing picked up the photos and portraits, looking back and forth between the little girl in the photos and the girl who had grown up in the pictures. Tears gradually welled up in her eyes, and large teardrops slid down her cheeks.

"It's Nian Nian, it must be Nian Nian."

He gently stroked the girl's eyes; they were almost identical to hers.

She quickly wiped away her tears, gripping Shen Yan's wrist tightly. "Yan, with this portrait, will we be able to find your sister soon?"

Shen Yan originally thought so too, but after investigating for a few days, he found that it wasn't that simple.

"No," he said truthfully, knowing his mother would be disappointed. "This is just what my sister would look like when she grows up, under normal circumstances."

Qiao Xiaqing panicked: "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'under normal circumstances'? Of course your sister will grow up normally!"

"Mom, listen to me, calm down."

Shen Yan hugged Qiao Xiaqing tightly, giving his mother a sense of security with his broad chest.

After waiting for a while, Qiao Xiaqing finally calmed down. "Tell me, explain yourself clearly."

Shen Yan continued, "We have already identified the woman's body and found her diary in her home."

"Her name is Song Lai. She was kidnapped as a child. In the kidnappers' den, she met a little girl with amnesia. The two became good friends. Later, the kidnappers made a deal with buyers to sell them separately, so they exchanged tokens and promised to remain friends when they grew up."

"That bow was a keepsake given to her by the little girl. She has always worn it, hoping to reunite with her best friend one day."

Qiao Xiaqing immediately realized, "That girl with amnesia is your sister. She was abducted. She... she was abducted..."

Qiao Xiaqing broke down in tears. She couldn't imagine what her precious daughter had gone through after being abducted, or where she had been trafficked to.

What do abducted children experience?

Nobody knows!

No wonder Shen Yan said that the portrait showed Shen Nian as she grew up normally.

But people can change because of their environment.

She had seen children rescued from human traffickers; some were beaten beyond recognition, others had their hands and feet broken, and their eyes gouged out.

What about her thoughts?

Qiao Xiaqing dared not imagine what would happen to her Nian Nian!
