"Even in the gutter, there are some who will look up at the stars." Xia Chuyi quoted a phrase she had once seen.
"...Sister, what’s that mean?" Yuan Liangang scratched his head.
Hearing her husband’s words, Du Hong chuckled and said, "What else could it mean? Chuyi’s saying that Vice Captain Ou’s sister, even if she’s in a bad situation, will still live positively and well, right?"
Xia Chuyi smiled and replied, "Yes, Sister Hong, you’re absolutely right!"
"Hehe, you two are the cultured ones, I’m not. I’m just a rough guy who hasn’t read much."
For a moment, both Du Hong and Xia Chuyi laughed.
"Chuyi, now that you’ve adopted these two kids, what are you planning to do next?" After discussing Miss Ou’s matter, Du Hong asked Xia Chuyi, "If you don’t have a place to stay, you can leave the children with me for now."
"Looking after one child or three, it’s all caring for them."
Clearly, Du Hong was worried that she wouldn’t be able to take care of the children.
Hearing this, Wuniu, who had been standing obediently by her side holding Silly’s hand, became a bit nervous.
Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Sister Hong, to be honest with you, I’ve rented a place in the Capital City, and I have a fellow townsman coming to the Capital City in the next couple of days to meet up with me."
"We can take good care of the two children."
She didn’t tell Du Hong about what Ou Jun had privately said to her, "You could send the kids to an orphanage."
It wasn’t intentional concealment; it was out of concern that the children might overhear.
She didn’t want the children to misunderstand.
"Well, alright then." Seeing that she had a plan, Du Hong did not press the issue.
Just as the two were about to part ways, suddenly a rushing figure dashed over and hugged Xia Chuyi.
"Chuyi!" The person, holding her and speaking with a clear cry in her voice, said, "I heard you were kidnapped by human traffickers, are you okay? Are you okay?"
Upon seeing who it was, Xia Chuyi was taken aback, "Qianqian? How did you come early?"
Qian Qianqian’s relative happened to be going to the Capital City, so she bought a train ticket with that relative. The arrival time was originally scheduled for tomorrow.
Qian Qianqian circled around her, examining her carefully to make sure she was indeed unharmed before she finally let out a long breath of relief.
Wiping the corner of her eye, Qian Qianqian said, "My relative had some business and had to change to an earlier train, so I followed and came early too. I wanted to surprise you."
Instead, she gave herself a big shock.
"Chuyi, you have no idea how scared I was! When I went to the address you gave me, there was no one there!"
"I was so anxious, I called home, and it was Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao who told me to go to the police immediately."
"When I got to the Police Station, I heard you almost got kidnapped!"
After all, Qian Qianqian was a girl not yet twenty, and at this moment, her face showed her unsettled nerves as she patted her chest and said, "I immediately asked the police to take me to the hospital."
"Now that I see you’re alright, I can finally relax."
Xia Chuyi patted her, comforting her, "There, there, don’t worry, see, I’m fine, aren’t I?"
Then, Xia Chuyi asked, "So, you told my aunt and uncle about what happened to me? They all know I almost got kidnapped?"
Qian Qianqian nodded and said, "Yes, not just them. When I made the phone call, Director Chang was there too."
"He seems to have communicated with the police here in the Capital City, so when I arrived at the Police Station, the officers quickly took me to find you."
If Chang Luhui knows, then that’s practically...
