The next moment, Su Qing blurted out, "No way!"
Hearing this, both Su Hao and Su He looked at Su Qing with slightly astonished expressions.
"Mom, why won’t you let Sis go? Isn’t this a good opportunity?" Su He unhappily set down his chopsticks.
Su Hao also looked at her with a puzzled face.
Seeing this, Su Qing hurriedly forced a smile and said, "I’m just worried about her safety going so far away by herself! The big city is not like our place; it’s chaotic! Qianxun is so pretty, what if some criminals see her and kidnap her? A beautiful colleague of mine disappeared without a trace while working with me, and when we reported it, the police found her half a year later during a crackdown on vice in a nightclub!"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao also slightly furrowed his brows.
Upon hearing this, Qianxun inwardly sneered, what a righteous-sounding excuse.
But outwardly, she replied with a smile, "Mom, you’re worrying too much. The show crew is afraid I won’t be able to find the place, so they’ve arranged for someone to pick me up! And Mr. Sun Ze will accompany me over there, so you don’t have to worry."
Then, she added with an excited look, "And then, you’ll be able to see me on TV!"
At these words, Su He immediately nodded vigorously, "Sis, you have to perform well and beat them all!"
Seeing this, Su Qing fell silent for a moment before saying, "Alright then, but once you get there, don’t wander around, got it? If you run into any danger, we’re all in S City, and we won’t be able to help you."
Qianxun smiled and nodded, "Don’t worry Mom, I’ll return to school after I finish participating in the show, it’ll be just three days at most."
Su Qing finally felt a bit more relieved.
She thought that with three days’ time and the vastness of Yanjing City, it was unlikely for the Lai Family to encounter her.
However, that night, Su Qing was restless and could not sleep.
Seeing her tossing and turning, Su Hao couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Qing, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you sleeping?"
Hearing this, Su Qing whispered softly, "It’s too hot, you go to sleep first."
Su Hao gave a low grunt and then turned over to sleep.
But Su Qing, lying in the dark with her eyes open, couldn’t help but have her thoughts drift back to the past.
After she gave birth to her daughter, the doctor told her that she had congenital heart disease.
In that era, having an affair with a married man and bearing a daughter out of wedlock was damaging enough, but with her daughter having a heart disease, how could she raise her, save her?
Coincidentally, the next day, the Madam of Lai Family went into premature labor.
She didn’t want her daughter to suffer with her, plus, she was also of the Lai Family’s bloodline.
Why should the child born from Madam Lai’s womb land in a golden nest while her own daughter, born with an illness, had to suffer hardship with her?
Therefore, she did something bold and secretly swapped the two children.
After swapping the children, she took a night train and left Yanjing City without even completing her confinement.
She didn’t know how her own biological daughter was doing in the Lai Family.
But since she was Lai Hao’s daughter, even if the Lai Family did a paternity test, they wouldn’t find anything.
Lai Hao had always longed for a daughter; she believed her daughter must be doing very well.
Initially, she wanted to mistreat this child because she was Madam Lai’s daughter.
But the child was too well-behaved. As a little girl, she didn’t cry or fuss, just stared at her with those dark, clear eyes. Being stared at by her pure gaze, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of guilt in her heart.
