Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Zhou Yanqian thought back to his father's birthday.

That's right. My father's birthday is July 16th, but he doesn't like celebrating his birthday. He treats a simple meal with his son as if it were his birthday.

Zhou Yanqian recalled his own dreamlike fourth birthday and wanted to give his father a similar dream.

Oh, and Xiaoxi's birthday too. When is Xiaoxi's birthday again?

Zhou Yanqian had no idea. When she came to pick him up in the afternoon, he pretended to ask her casually.

We'll give it to Xiaoxi later, so she won't say that I don't love her!

He wouldn't give Xiaoxi any chance to say anything sarcastic!

Zhou Yanqian had already arranged his schedule to be full, but when he looked at the little genius, only two minutes had passed.

Zan Zan is now in a helpless situation.

Why is time passing so slowly?

At 11:40, Zhou Linxu and Goldman Sachs got off the high-speed train.

Someone was already waiting for them at the door.

As soon as the man saw Zhou Linxu, he hurried over and said, "President Zhou."

Zhou Linxu nodded slightly: "What's going on?"

This person is Zhou's project manager, named Li Yue.

Her parents lived not far from Song Lanqing's grave, so they gave them extra money to sweep the grave every few days to keep it clean.

Li Yue said, "My parents are currently overseeing Sister Song's grave, and we've also called the police, but the other party presented proof of their father-daughter relationship with Sister Song..."

Li Yue hadn't expected such a coincidence. She had taken her annual leave and was planning to take her parents on a trip for a few days. Before leaving, she thought she would go and sweep Song Lanqing's grave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the cemetery, I saw an old man standing by Song Lanqing's tombstone with several other people, including one dressed like a Taoist priest.

Li Yue pretended to be a passerby and went over to listen. She heard things like birth date and time, and auspicious day and time. Something was definitely wrong.

She called the police, but to her surprise, the other party turned out to be Sister Song's father. Li Yue was at a loss and quickly called Zhou Linxu.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Linxu frowned slightly. How did the Song family know where Song Lanqing was?

The Song family had no idea he took him away.

Li Yue added, "Because they produced evidence, the police left. Now my parents and relatives are guarding Sister Song."

"You did a great job," Zhou Linxu said. "The matter is settled. I'll grant you three extra days of paid leave."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. It's what we should do," Li Yue replied politely.

Li Yue led them toward the cemetery. It was a small county town, quite developed, but still relatively small. It took about ten minutes to get there.

As soon as Zhou Linxu entered the cemetery, he saw a group of people standing beside Song Lanqing's grave in the distance.

Zhou Linxu looked at the hypocritical man among them and walked over expressionlessly.

Song Deyao had his back to the main entrance and didn't notice anyone coming.

He also threatened her, saying, "This is my daughter! What's wrong with me taking her back? If you stop me again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing the question, Song Deyao instinctively turned around and said, "Get out of my way if you don't want to die, I need to take my daughter back..."

When he saw Zhou Linxu, he immediately fell silent.

Zhou Linxu climbed the steps one by one and soon stood in front of Song Deyao. His face was expressionless, and he looked down at Song Deyao, who looked slightly frightened.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Tell me, how are you going to show no mercy?"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yanqian finally came out of the cage.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Ju, his face was still tense, but when Jinxi took his hand, he couldn't help but smile.

He asked, "You're the first one here today. How early did you arrive?"

Jin Xi said, "I've been waiting for forty minutes."

She shook Zan Zan's hand: "We're going to take the high-speed train now."

"Huh?" Zhou Yanqian asked in confusion, "Taking the high-speed rail?"

Jinxi said, "Yes, baby hasn't ridden the high-speed rail before, has she?"

Zhou Yanqian had ridden in it in his past life, but he had never ridden in it in this life.

He was led into the car and asked, "Where are we going?"

Why are you suddenly going on a long trip?

Moreover, Jinxi never told him that she would inform him in advance if she wanted to go out.

Zhou Yanqian was completely confused and asked, "Where are we going? Isn't Xiaoxu coming?"

"Your dad went there this morning." Jinxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "We're going to your mom's."

Zhou Yanqian was stunned. Go to his mother's place? Why would he go to his mother's place for no reason?

Jinxi patted his little head: "We plan to take your mother back to Jincheng, so that if you miss her in the future, you can go directly to her."

"Huh?" Zhou Yanqian exclaimed in surprise.

In his previous life, before he turned eighteen, Zhou Linxu would take him to visit his mother whenever he had time during holidays. After he turned eighteen, he brought his mother back to Jincheng, making it more convenient for him to visit her.

So, in this lifetime, he moved away when he was just four years old?

Jinxi didn't elaborate, and they had already arrived at the nearest high-speed rail station.

Jinxi carried the suitcase and held Zanzan's hand with her other hand, leading him into the car.

The timing was perfect; Zhou Yanqian was led into the car.

Jinxi only managed to buy a first-class seat. She adjusted Zanzan's seat and then said softly, "We'll be on the high-speed train for over an hour, so we need to be quiet and not make any noise, or we'll disturb the other passengers."

Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, "He's not a brat."

The car started moving, and Jinxi pulled on the handle between them: "If you want to rest, you can lean on me and sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we get there."

As Zhou Yanqian watched the scenery recede into the distance, he couldn't resist moving closer to Jin Xi.

Jinxi put her arm around his little shoulders and kissed his forehead: "Rest now."

Zhou Yanqian had no intention of resting. He held Jinxi's long hair in his hands, twisting and turning his fingers.

Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "Did Xiaoxu mention moving?"

"Hmm." Jinxi said, "Xiaoxu said you're four years old now and will miss your mother. He also consulted a master who said tomorrow is an auspicious day. Since you're free tomorrow, let's go pick up your mother and take her back to Jincheng."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian immediately felt that Xiao Xi was lying to him.

Based on his understanding of his father, he would never have thought of this. After all, in his previous life, when he took him all the way there to pay respects, he never mentioned moving his mother back to Jincheng.

The relocation of the grave happened after he turned eighteen. This matter is so sudden, Xiao Xi must have said something.

Zhou Yanqian looked up, but Jin Xi was looking out the window and didn't notice his gaze.

Both Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu have moved, so there must be a problem on Mom's side.

Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but come out with a worried expression. What exactly went wrong?

He nestled quietly in Jinxi's arms, waiting for the train to arrive at the station.

More than an hour later, the train arrived at the station.

Jinxi led Zanzan off the car and walked out of the high-speed rail station, where she immediately saw Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Linxu walked over, took the suitcase from him, and asked, "Are you tired?"

"What's so tiring about it?" Jinxi asked. "Is everything finished?"

"That's about it," Zhou Linxu said. "Let's go, let's put our things down first. Goldman Sachs is waiting for us in the parking lot."

Zhou Yanqian held their hands and walked in the middle, keeping his lips pursed and not saying a word.

Once in the car, he just sat there obediently.

He hadn't been here for a long time, but it still felt very familiar.

Zhou Linxu patted his head, then looked at Jinxi.

Jinxi only gave him a reassuring look.

They arrived at the hotel quickly. Zhou Linxu explained, "It's closer to the cemetery here, which is more convenient."

"It's very good," Jinxi said. "It's quite clean."

This isn't a big city; there are mostly hotels here, so as long as it's clean and hygienic, it's fine.

Jinxi isn't that delicate. She used to travel on a budget with her friends and even stayed in hostels.
