Chapter 15: Investigating Her Intentions

“Yes! Isn’t it pretty?” Tang Tang asked, showing it off proudly.

Director Tang frowned: “Tang Tang, tell Dad, besides the LV bag, what else did Yan Yueqing give you?

Tang Tang looked at him, blinking: “This is the first time Sister Yueqing has given me something! Well… no, it’s the second time. She also picked some fruit for me to eat yesterday.”

Aunt Liu shook her head with concern: “Tang Tang, you might not know, but LV bags are very expensive. She’s not related to you, yet she suddenly gives you such an expensive gift, I’m afraid she might have ulterior motives…”

Tang Tang disagreed: “No! Sister Yueqing just wants to be nice to me.”

At first, she thought Sister Yueqing was after her father, but after learning the truth, Tang Tang naturally believed her.

A child’s world doesn’t have so many twists and turns.

When they say they hate something, they really hate it!

When they say they like something, they really like it!

Director Tang frowned, “Tang Tang, haven’t I taught you not to accept gifts from strangers?”

Tang Tang reassured: “Dad, I know what you’re worried about, but Sister Yueqing promised me she wouldn’t have any thoughts about you.”

Director Tang was about to say children are naive when Tang Tang added, “Besides, Sister Yueqing didn’t just give me a bag! She gave one to every uncle and auntie in our group!”

Director Tang became even more furious, “She gave gifts to other crew members too?”

Isn’t this blatant bribery?

To please Tang Tang, she’s even trying to win over the staff?!

Wait a minute!

Director Tang thought of something: “What did she give them? It couldn’t be LV bags too, right?”

Hearing this, Tang Tang immediately got interested and recounted everything that happened today.

Director Tang felt like he was listening to a fairy tale!

Yan Yueqing spent 3 million on bags to give away, and even got a premium VIP card for his daughter?!

Did he hear that right?

Was that what she meant?

The ride home was silent. Once they arrived, Director Tang asked Aunt Liu to take Tang Tang to her room to rest while he contacted the LV flagship store in T City’s shopping mall.

Sister Wang answered the call and enthusiastically explained: “Not only was the VIP card registered under Tang Tang’s information, but even those dozen or so bags were given out in Tang Tang’s name!”

A moment later, Director Tang hung up the phone in silence.

Aunt Liu knocked and walked in worriedly: “Sir, Miss Tang Tang… seems to really like Miss Yan…”

The little one had been talking about Yan Yueqing non-stop since they got back!

Director Tang didn’t mind people being nice to his daughter, but Yan Yueqing using Tang Tang as a stepping stone crossed a line!

Moreover, it was such a clumsy attempt…

“If Miss Yan genuinely cares for Tang Tang, I wouldn’t say much! But I’m afraid she might be like Miss Qin…” Aunt Liu sighed: “At first, she was so good to Tang Tang, giving her countless gifts, making the child so happy, but in the end—”

Reminded of this history, Director Tang’s heart sank further. He raised his hand to interrupt: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter.”

After Aunt Liu left, Director Tang made a phone call: “Old Lin, have the HR department send over Yan Yueqing’s information from our company.”

Meanwhile, after parting with Tang Tang, Yan Yueqing was about to take a cab to the high-speed rail station when Qin Youran called out to her.

“Yueqing, are you going back to C City? I’m from C City too, let’s go together.”

Yan Yueqing was a bit surprised.

In the book, although Qin Youran was portrayed as gentle, kind, and amiable, her relationship with the original Yan Yueqing was very average! In fact, due to the original Yan Yueqing’s crazy behavior, Qin Youran was somewhat reluctant to associate with her.

So it was strange that she would suddenly want to travel together.

Before Yan Yueqing could react, Qin Youran had already linked arms with her affectionately.

From behind, they looked like best friends.

Yan Yueqing felt inexplicably disgusted by this move.

Qin Youran acted as if they were old friends, “Yueqing, do you really have a child? I’m not trying to gossip, but you look so young, it’s hard to believe you’re a mother!”

Yan Yueqing looked at her puzzled: “Don’t you all know it?”

Qin Youran covered her mouth in surprise: “How is that possible? If you didn’t say anything, no one would know!”

Yan Yueqing frowned.

Is that so?

Her reaction earlier wasn’t like this.

Qin Youran asked with concern: “How old is the child? What’s his name? Does he live in City C too? Can I go over to see him?”

Yan Yueqing quietly slipped her hand out of Qin Youran’s grasp.

Qin Youran seemed a bit too interested in her son…

In the book, she only proposed to adopt Yan Wang after her own death, why is she so interested now?

You can have your own happiness, but leave my son out of it!

Yan Yueqing said coolly: “My son is shy and doesn’t like meeting strangers.”

That’s a polite refusal!

This reaction was entirely within Qin Youran’s expectations.

In her previous life, Yan Yueqing had hidden her son in a hospital for five years! When she adopted him, such a big child couldn’t even speak a word!

Qin Youran came into the child’s life like a savior, working while slowly bonding with him. When she posted those daily vlogs online, the image of the cold-faced little prince and the gentle mother instantly captured a wave of fans, bringing huge developments to her career!

Although there was an element of exploitation, Qin Youran genuinely liked Yan Wang!

Later, his biological father, Jun Li, showed up…

That strikingly cold and handsome face, even after seeing it for three years, still made her heart flutter when she thinks about it!

Qin Youran desperately tried to use Yan Wang to tie down this man’s heart, but he remained unmoved.

As if seeing through her, he would rather spend huge sums to boost her fame, allow Jun Corporation’s people to address her with the highest form of respect, let her post daily photos of the estate on Weibo… and even allowed her to instruct her fans to write a sweet romance novel based on the two of them, titled, “I Rely on My Son to Become Popular Across the Internet”…

Jun Li never stopped her, he just didn’t like her.

In the sweet story, they had a contract marriage and slowly sparked love, but in reality, it was just her own unrequited love!

The feeling was truly painful. Unable to move Jun Li, she could only change tactics, relying on three years of nurturing to make Yan Wang inseparable from her! But as Yan Wang’s health improved, the Jun family seemed to no longer need her? She ruthlessly used some tactics to make Yan Wang fall ill again, and she stayed by his bedside for three days and nights…

Finally, when Jun Li agreed to let her stay at the estate, Qin Youran accidentally fell down the stairs!

When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the time when she was recording the variety show with the production team?!

Qin Youran sighed bitterly, then silently encouraged herself: “It’s just starting over, no big deal!”

Who knew Yan Yueqing would drop the ball at the crucial moment?! Not only did she not seduce Director Tang, but she also voluntarily disclosed Yan Wang’s existence?!

At this rate, how could she wait for her to commit suicide?

Qin Youran thought hard all night but couldn’t think of a solution, so she could only get close to her and try to get some information first.

“Shy, huh? All children are wary of strangers, they just need more interaction.” Qin Youran pressed on shamelessly, “Can I go with you to see him?”

“Maybe next time.” Yan Yueqing firmly refused, “I’ll bring you along after I’ve gotten his permission.”

Qin Youran bit her lip, looking a bit disappointed.
