While Bingbing was frantically gulping down food, the housekeeper finally found a chance to chat with Junyao.

"Madam, didn't you say you were looking for small animals? Why...?"

The butler hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Junyao chuckled, "I was genuinely worried because I thought some wild animals had wandered in! After all, I'd heard that the Zhou family doesn't allow pets. But I never expected to run into my relative's child in the garden. If you ask me how this kid got here, or who brought him here, I don't know either. Why don't you ask him yourself after he finishes eating!"

She adopted an attitude of "I don't know anything," completely disavowing any doubts she might have.

Junyao knew, of course, that no one would completely believe her just because she said it.

But so what?

To others, it seemed as if she hadn't stepped out of the mansion at all today.

She couldn't have created someone out of thin air!

The biggest mystery surrounding Bingbing is that he bypassed the patrol and security team in the front yard of the Zhou family and inexplicably appeared in the garden...

This is difficult to explain clearly.

Junyao was too lazy to bother with this.

So if the butler wants to investigate the details, he should just ask a five-year-old child himself!

Fortunately, the housekeeper was still preoccupied with the fact that Zhou Yichuan's life hung by a thread.

He only wanted to see Bingbing, this "uninvited guest," off as quickly as possible.

"Although we don't know how this child sneaked in, given the president's current health condition, the house is really unable to accommodate other guests. Even if he is a relative of yours, it's not appropriate for him to stay long, lest he catch the president's illness. You should notify his parents as soon as possible and have him taken home!"

The butler sincerely and seriously issued the order to leave.

Jun Yao, however, refused to listen.

She reached out and pulled Bingbing, who was still happily eating the box of blueberries, into her arms, holding her tightly.

"You all know Zhou Yichuan's actual situation!"

"His time in this world was short!"

"I'm with him every day, it's so draining on my emotions. I'm a normal person too, and if I'm always immersed in this sad atmosphere, I'll get sick sooner or later!"

"He said he didn't want to drag me down anymore, so shouldn't you all do what he wants?"

"I don't really want to leave this home. I just hope to leave my relatives' children here to keep me company. Seeing such innocent and lovely children naturally makes me feel better."

"Besides, he's just a little guy, not hard to raise. At most, he'll just need to eat a couple more bites each day... Spending a little more money on rice in exchange for a good mood, so I can happily accompany Zhou Yichuan through his final journey every day, isn't that worth it?"

Jun Yao's talent for sophistry was learned from the ghosts she had subdued in the past.

Once a person has a strong goal in mind, they will stop at nothing to achieve it.

Sophistry is just the most basic manifestation of it.

Junyao must do everything she can to keep Bingbing in the mansion and live with her.

No other reason could sway the Zhou family.

Only by addressing Zhou Yichuan, this fundamental factor, can we gain room for negotiation.

Junyao added, "Every time I see children, I think about how Zhou Yichuan and I will probably never have children of our own... Do you understand what this means for a woman?"

The butler was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, the young master he watched grow up never had a child of his own...

How could the old lady not be heartbroken?

As for the young mistress...

As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, the Zhou family will definitely take care of her in her old age.

Of course, she is still so young. If she meets the right person and wants to remarry, the Zhou family will definitely not stop her.

She doesn't actually need to worry about this problem too early.

While pondering these thoughts, the butler also glanced a few more times at the chubby little boy at the dining table.

This child is chubby and loves to eat. He's not picky about food and seems like an easy child to raise.

If the old lady arrives later and feels a connection with the child, she might want to introduce him to the CEO and his wife...

That's a blessing for this child.

However, he needed to ask a few more questions before the old lady arrived.

"Madam, what are this child's parents' relatives in your family? Why did they let the child come to the waterfront mansion alone?"

Jun Yao, in a nonchalant manner, brushed it off, saying, "Don't I live here? Maybe his parents sent him to stay with me... They're distant relatives of the Qiao family, and their financial situation is quite ordinary. The couple also have bad tempers and don't know how to take care of children..."

She was making up a bunch of tales, completely oblivious to the changes happening to the biscuit in her arms.

Only after she finished her fabrication and stopped talking did she suddenly hear Bingbing say, "You've got it wrong. My family is much better off than you think. My dad is amazing! I'm here to see my dad!"

Jun Yao: "...?"

Who should I contact?

dad?

Where did you get a father, kid?

No, wait, could it be...?

Before her thoughts could even take shape, she heard Bingbing burst into tears again.

"I want to see my dad! I want to see my dad!"

The butler was also stunned.

He had a vague premonition that the child might be related to Zhou Yichuan.

But as soon as this thought crossed his mind, he looked at the child's features again and instantly felt a sense of familiarity...

Like the late Madam Zhou...

This child looks just like the late Madam Zhou!

Could it be...?

The butler then recalled his young master's past of indulging in debauchery and changing women every day.

If the planting speed had been maintained at that time, even if the winning rate was not high, the number of people exposed to the scheme would have been large enough.

If someone's belly cooperates and they get pregnant, things don't seem so pessimistic and terrible!

The housekeeper was overwhelmed with emotion and immediately went to call Madam Zhou.

The other servants in the mansion were also very excited, and privately they already regarded Bingbing as their long-lost young master.

They went to great lengths to send a third and fourth wave of food, hoping that Bingbing would be willing to take a bite.

Jun Yao was the only one who couldn't come to his senses for a long time, feeling a huge shock as if he had been betrayed by someone.

Having finally waited for an opportunity when no one else was around, Junyao grabbed Bingbing by the back of her collar and asked seriously, "What are you up to?"

"I wasn't making this up, I was just telling the truth." Bingbing shrugged, then raised her chubby little hand and pointed to her temple. "These stories have been in my head ever since I woke up... Anyway, I have a father, and he's in this house, so don't talk nonsense!"
