Chapter 782: Chapter 11 Serious Family Meeting (Monthly Tickets Increase!)_2 Chapter 782: Chapter 11 Serious Family Meeting (Monthly Tickets Increase!)_2 Yan Mei nodded thoughtfully:
“That makes sense, your analysis is logical.”
She thought carefully, indeed this girl couldn’t possibly be Zhao Yingjun’s biological child, nor could she be the child Zhao Yingjun was raising.
Otherwise, if the child had been missing for a day and a night, she would definitely have been frantic by now.
She lifted her head, looking at Zhao Ruihai in the middle of the living room:
“So if you already know it’s impossible for this to be Zhao Yingjun’s biological or raised child…
why bother asking her?”
“Just asking, to inquire about the situation a bit.”
Zhao Ruihai spread his hands:
“Under the current circumstances, it’s quite clear that none of us know the truth, nobody understands where this little girl actually comes from.”
“Instead of us making wild guesses here, it’s truly better to take her to see Zhao Yingjun…
although I don’t know what she’ll say, but what if?
What if she knows something?
After all, we can only seek help in a desperate situation.”
Having said that, he picked up his phone and dialed Zhao Yingjun’s number.

“Hello?
Dad, what’s up.”
“What are you doing?” Zhao Ruihai asked.
“Getting ready for a meeting,” Zhao Yingjun said calmly.
Zhao Ruihai paused:
“Let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Didn’t we just eat yesterday?”
From Zhao Yingjun’s end, the sound of flipping through papers could be heard:
“I have work to do, too.
Even though you came all the way to East Sea to see me…
I can’t be with you every day, can I?”
“Tonight’s dinner is necessary.”
Zhao Ruihai was adamant:
“Arrange it, pick a restaurant.
Remember to choose one with a lighter flavor, not so heavy.”
Zhao Yingjun stopped flipping through papers.
Stood up.
Feeling that there was something odd and also very forceful about this dinner invitation.
Oh.
She suddenly realized:
“Are you and mom in such a hurry to see Lin Xian?
Then I’ll give Lin Xian a call first to see if he’s free today.”
“He should be quite tired today, because I got a call from the Vice President at their company at noon, and that Vice President said Lin Xian didn’t even answer his phone calls, probably sleeping, might sleep straight through to the evening.”
“No need.”
Zhao Ruihai denied over the phone:
“No need to call Lin Xian today, just the family having a meal together.”
“Remember to book a place with a mild taste, suitable for children to eat, your mom and I will bring a child over tonight.”
“Child?” Zhao Yingjun asked in confusion, “Whose child?
Who are you babysitting for?”
“You’ll know tonight, send me the restaurant address once you’ve booked it.”
After that, Zhao Ruihai hung up the phone.

Zhao Yingjun put down the phone.
Narrowed her eyes at the gradually darkening screen, puzzled for a moment.
Her family in East Sea…
Had not a single relative there.
Indeed, it was precisely because there were no relatives in this area that she decided to move to East Sea after studying abroad, to distance herself from her parents, from her large family, aiming for a peaceful life.
Her parents had only arrived in East Sea for a couple of days, how had they already started babysitting for someone?
“Baffling.”
She muttered, continuing to review the documents.
Once people age, they inevitably become somewhat erratic.
Especially when those around them start having grandchildren, parents without grandchildren to hold will surely grow obsessed.
Just like her parents now.
No child in their own home…
so they take in someone else’s child to satisfy the urge, right?
“Sigh…”
She sighed softly:
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have let them come to East Sea.
If it weren’t for them saying they wanted to see Lin Xian…
sigh…”
She closed her eyes, rubbing her temples.
Headache.
She could already imagine tonight’s dinner, invariably the duet of pressuring to marry and to have children.
She truly didn’t want to go.
In her life plan, she hadn’t intended to get married so early, let alone to have children.
She didn’t dislike children.
On the contrary.
She liked them very much and was looking forward to the feeling of raising a child.
If it were to be a little boy, she would dress him up fashionably; if a little girl, even better, she’d make her look beautiful.
But…
At her current age, it was still a priority to focus on her career, thinking about these matters was really too early.
After all, it was because her own parents were too old.
If they were like Lin Xian’s parents, not even 50 yet, they naturally wouldn’t be pushing so hard.
“I’ll bring VV along tonight.”
She really didn’t want to face her parents’ marriage pressure alone, the only one who could stand with her on the same front was VV, who also served as her perfect shield.
Taking out her phone, she opened the food app and began searching for a suitable restaurant:
“Suitable for kids to eat…”
Resting her chin in her hand, Zhao Yingjun felt she was touching upon an area of ignorance:
“How old of a kid?”
“What do kids eat?”
…
In the evening, at 7 o’clock, at a combined Western and family-style restaurant.
“Sorry, I’m late, I had to pick up VV on the way home and there was some traffic.”
Pushing open the door of the private room.
Zhao Yingjun saw her parents sitting on both sides, flanking a little girl who was looking down and eating steak.
The little girl was wearing a bright pink dress, with two cute twisted braids tied on each side of her head, each braid adorned with a flower hair clip.
This outdated and tacky attire made Zhao Yingjun, the president of a fashion company, shudder…
Whose kid is this, dressed so out of style?
But what surprised her more was:
“Why have you already started eating?”
She couldn’t comprehend, the whole family hadn’t arrived yet, how could one start eating alone?
It’s completely lacking in dining etiquette.
Zhao Yingjun turned to her parents:
“Whose child is this?
You can’t indulge her like this, it could spoil her.”
“What are you talking about!”
Yan Mei was immediately irritated:
“The child was hungry and started to eat, what’s wrong with that?
Why don’t you ask yourself why you came so late?
If you had come earlier, we all could have eaten together.”
