Chapter 1388 The Happiness of Being in a Higher Position
Seventeen went to Kyoto, and his mother almost fainted from crying at the airport.
No one from the family went, leaving Seventeen to the Rong family. It was scary enough that the Rong family took on this task. After all, he was a human being. If something went wrong at the Rong family, how would they explain it to the Zhuang family? Besides, Miss Zhuang was a bit...
Rong Hancheng felt heavy-hearted, but Rong Zhen was fine. He took Seventeen away with the mentality of treating her as a friend.
"If you miss Beijing, I will send you back. Maybe you will miss this place tomorrow." Rong Zhen whispered after getting on the plane.
Seventeen nodded and turned to look outside.
Looking out the window, she couldn't see much outside. She didn't know whether to stare at the cabin or look outside, and she kept staring.
Rong Zhen didn't disturb her. Perhaps it would be better for her to leave this place.
Zhuang Zhoucheng and his family returned home after the plane took off. Although his family members did not accompany him, they had arranged for someone to secretly protect him. He said he would let go completely, but how could he really do it?
Rong Zhen had thought many times about what Seventeen would react when she saw Little Tengyue. Would she take Little Tengyue with her to play? Perhaps they would understand each other? Or perhaps when she actually saw Little Tengyue, she wouldn't be so fond of him anymore, perhaps she would immediately ask to return to the capital.
The entire Rong family was at the airport to greet him. They were shocked that Young Master Rong had brought back a friend. This friend was quite special. Not only was his identity special, but he was also said to be in poor health...
Out of courtesy, all the family members went, and the welcoming team here was no less impressive than the farewell scene over there.
After the girl was picked up, Rong Zhen didn't want to go back to the Rong family, but planned to take Seventeen directly to the Hanhai family in the outer community. So the Rong family had no choice but to go along. It was almost noon, and since the girl rarely came to Kyoto, they should have a meal together, right?
They all came to the Hanhai family. There are two aunts taking care of the child here. One is a nurse who takes care of Xiao Tengyue, and the other does housework. Rong Zhen's mother also often rests here, so her granddaughter is well taken care of.
The door opened and Seventeen stood at the door. Rong Zhen came in first and put the slippers in front of her.
"Come in, the little angel is waiting for you." Rong Zhen said with a smile.
Seventeen walked into the house a little nervously and changed his shoes. The living room was spacious, with lively colors and many toys, including a small slide, a wooden horse, a children's beach, etc. It was like entering an amusement park.
Tengyue sat on the sand and played. He grabbed the sand and put it into a model that looked like an hourglass horn. The excess sand was squeezed out from the channel.
"Little angel..." Seventeen walked over and squatted gently. Teng Yue stared at Seventeen with wide eyes, feeling a little shy.
Seventeen suddenly hugged Tengyue and cried very sadly, "Baby, my baby, mommy is here to see you, baby..."
The child was frightened and couldn't break free from the adult's arms, so he could only cry loudly. Soon, the two of them, one big and one small, cried together.
This shocked the Rong family. Rong Zhen's mother frowned slightly. What's going on with this Miss Zhuang? How could she start crying while holding her child as soon as she entered the house?
Rong Zhen's mother walked over, endured it again and again, and finally whispered, "Qiqi, child, you can't cry like this. Your throat will be damaged. If it gets inflamed, Yueyue will suffer..."
Seventeen was still crying, and both of them cried very loudly, which made people feel sad and also made Rong's mother, the grandmother, anxious.
How could she stop crying? People thought something was wrong with her family.
After crying for a while, Rong Zhen went over, patted Seventeen's shoulders gently, and coaxed the two people, one big and one small.
"Stop crying, let's eat first. Qiqi, don't cry, it's time for Tengyue to eat." Rong Zhen whispered.
Seventeen let go of Little Tengyue. The child's face was red from crying, and his eyelashes were wet. He looked so pitiful. His little hands tightly grasped Seventeen's sleeves, and he kept crying, "Mom, Mom..."
"Baby, mommy is here..." Seventeen held Tengyue in his arms. Rong Zhen frowned slightly. Could it be that she had a child?
The banker didn't say much about Seventeen's situation. He only knew that Seventeen had been traumatized. But no one told him what the trauma was. Looking at Seventeen's reaction, Rong Zhen wondered if the death of his child had caused such a great shock.
Rong Zhen frowned, as if it was not nice to assume such things about others. He immediately stood up and pulled the two of them up.
"Tengyue, stop crying and eat. Qiqi, Qiqi, let's eat first, okay?" Rong Zhen said softly.
Seventeen nodded and held Tengyue tightly. Little Tengyue also held Seventeen's neck tightly, kissing Seventeen's face with her little mouth and calling "Mom" non-stop.
This scene left the Rong family dumbfounded. They had raised Teng Yue, a child usually shy away from strangers. She wouldn't let other children touch her toys, let alone hug or kiss her. But this Miss Zhuang, after just a few minutes of hugging her and crying, changed her tone to calling her "Mom"?
Everyone was surprised. Family members and servants all looked at him strangely. Could this child be born by this young lady?
At the dinner table, Seventeen was holding little Tengyue and feeding the child very carefully. The little one was very cooperative with the meal today. She ate whatever Seventeen gave her. Usually at home, her aunt would feed her and it would take her more than an hour to finish a meal.
Rong Zhen's mother was observing Seventeen during the entire meal. The love and affection in Seventeen's eyes was not fake. She was so carefully doting on him that it was hard to believe that he was not her child.
Looking at Seventeen at the dinner table, he seemed perfectly normal. Rong Zhen's mother wondered how long the child would remain normal. She heard he had some brain problems, but so far he seemed fine.
In the evening, Seventeen accompanied Xiao Tengyue to sleep, and the two of them laughed very happily.
Rong Zhen watched from outside the door for a while, then gently closed it, his doubts about Seventeen deepening.
She is like a child herself, but in front of children, she seems very mature. Has she forgotten the past or has she closed herself off?
Rong Zhen started to have people investigate Seventeen, not because he wanted to pry into the Zhuang family's secrets, but simply because he wanted to know what had happened to Seventeen.
*
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is already the end of September, and Kyoto is still quite hot.
Little Tengyue has started kindergarten. The little one celebrated her third birthday last week. On the 17th, she was busy at McDonald's all day and invited all the kids in her class to celebrate her birthday together.
Shiqi drove to pick up Xiao Tengyue. Mr. Rong said they were having dinner outside today, so she had to go home after picking up the child and change the little one into some pretty clothes.
The car stopped outside the kindergarten. Seventeen got out and went upstairs. There were still five minutes before the get out of class ended, so she waited quietly outside the classroom.
She seemed to have been reborn, as if she had been reborn in the body of another woman.
The memories of the past had been gradually left behind by her, and she was reborn into a peaceful life with her own daughter and her own small family. Her days were full. After sending her child to school, she would research recipes and wait for her baby to come home from school to prepare something delicious to serve her. Her heart was completely focused on little Tengyue, and all her happiness came from this child.
She no longer sings in the middle of the night, she now sleeps well and smiles often. But she never mentions her family, even her brother.
The school bell rang, and a light appeared in Seventeen's quiet eyes. He stood at the door, and soon the door opened, and Seventeen walked in.
"Mom——" Xiao Tengyue saw her and shouted loudly.
It took the little one a week to truly accept Shi Qi as her mother. On the first day, they were inseparable, but after a nap, Xiao Tengyue woke up the next morning feeling unfamiliar with Shi Qi again. After a day of play, their feelings returned to normal. After a week of this, the little one finally accepted Shi Qi as her mother.
"Baby, come to mommy, give me your schoolbag." Seventeen waved to little Tengyue.
Little Tengyue was changing shoes at the door with her small schoolbag, and the teacher also came out to greet the parents.
"Tengyue's mother is here," the teacher said happily. "Our Tengyue performed very well in class today. Among the six children in the class, only our Tengyue was awarded the title of 'Good Baby'."
"Really?" Seventeen's face immediately lit up with joy. He leaned over and picked up little Tengyue. "Baby, you're awesome!"
He kissed Tengyue on the face, and little Tengyue hugged Shiqi's neck and kissed her on the face.
"Say goodbye to the teacher." Seventeen put Xiao Tengyue down and said while holding the child's hand.
"goodbye teacher."
After a brief greeting, Shiqi took Tengyue downstairs. The mother and daughter got into the car, talking and laughing, and then went home.
Rong Zhen booked a table at an anime-themed restaurant and took out his card when entering the square. Just as he started to drive in, a person came out in front of him. Rong Zhen quickly braked to steady himself, and then as he stopped, the car behind him hit him directly.
"Bam—"
Rong Zhen's ears were buzzing. As soon as the person in front ran away, he drove the car in quickly. After parking the car in the space, he immediately got out to check to see if there was any damage.
Soon the car behind him that hit him also came in. Rong Zhen was standing in front of his own car, which was parked in the nearest empty space. After getting out of the car, he hurried over with an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm so sorry, sir. Is there any damage? Let's settle it privately or use insurance. I'll cover all the losses."
"It's a small matter, just a scratch, it's no big deal..." Rong Zhen raised his eyes and suddenly stopped talking.
Kou Quan, no, it should be Qi Yao!
Isn't he in Korea? Why is he in Kyoto?
Rong Zhen had investigated Seventeen's affairs long ago, including the two important men in Seventeen's life. After investigating Kou Quan and Zhou Haoyu, he had avoided the Zhuang family's affairs, as investigating these two individuals alone was much simpler.
So how come Rong Zhen doesn’t recognize the person in front of him?
Rong Zhen once thought about contacting Qi Yao, but when he looked at the woman around him and his children, he gave up the idea.
Seventeen is now living a stable and happy life. She has started to live a normal life. She has chosen to forget the past, so why should he help her get it back?
Maybe, next year or the year after, they will truly form a family.
Qi Yao smiled and said, "Then let's go with insurance. I will take full responsibility."
