"Hmm! I saw him yesterday," Jiang Yukuo sat down to eat dumplings.
"Hehe... My wallet is in the room. Brother, do you want to take a look? We're quite fated," Li Yanheng also sat down and said.
Mu Jiuchen shook his head slightly, he was not interested in his family. "No need. Leave after breakfast."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanheng felt a little sad, staring blankly at Mu Jiuchen, finding even his favorite shredded chicken congee unappetizing.
"Brother, Kuobao said you are also going out to play today. Please take me along. I'll cover all the expenses today. They saved me yesterday, and I can also help you take care of the children?" He had nothing to do anyway and wanted to play with these three little ones. These three were too smart.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him mockingly and asked coldly, "Do I lack money?"
Li Yanheng quickly shook his head, "No!"
Mu Jiuchen asked again, "Does my baby need you to take care of them?"
Li Yanheng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "They are very smart and don't need adults to take care of them, but I want to play with them."
Mu Jiuchen was quite satisfied with his answer.
"Who were the people who tried to kill you yesterday?" Mu Jiuchen asked casually.
A strange glint flashed in Li Yanheng's eyes as he shook his head. "They should be people I've offended, but they're not worth mentioning."
Mu Jiuchen did not think so. "Being with you will bring us danger."
"No, no, no, it won't. I've already arranged for people to handle it, and there will be no trouble. I don't even put the Li family in my eyes. I called my dad last night, and he will handle it properly." Li Yanheng explained clearly, fearing Mu Jiuchen wouldn't believe him.
Mu Jiuchen felt fortunate to have a father who could help him handle matters.
His father had never paid attention to him since he was young, letting him fend for himself.
Thinking of this, Mu Jiuchen recalled Yang Tiancheng's words.
He lowered his head and took a sip of congee, extinguishing the unrealistic thoughts in his heart. He had never doubted that he was his father's biological son.
"Are you still a child? You need your parents to handle these things for you?" Mu Jiuchen spoke as if making conversation, feeling empty inside, wanting to find something to do.
"Hehe..." Li Yanheng was very happy to hear this and poured out everything like beans. "My dad is very good to me. He helps me with everything, and my mom does too. It's just that I feel my mom is unhappy. My older brother seems to be missing, and seeing her cry herself to sleep at night, I want to help mom find my brother so our family can be reunited."
Mu Jiuchen glanced at him but said nothing.
Jiang Yukuo asked, "How did your older brother go missing?"
Li Yanheng shook his head, "I don't know. The family couldn't find any clues. My mom never talked about my brother. Anyway, she just cried and missed him alone, probably like that."
Jiang Shaoqing looked up at him, "Then how are you looking for him?"
Li Yanheng smiled, "By fate. Maybe I'll meet him one day?"
"That's true. If it's fated, you will meet again. Looking at your features, you have an older brother, and he is already very close to you. Keep trying, and you will meet him soon," Jiang Shaoqing observed him closely.
"Shaoqing!" Mu Jiuchen called his name in a deep voice. "You can't talk nonsense about these things."
Shaoqing had great fortune, and what he said usually came true. Nuannuan had also told him about this, but these matters inherently defied the laws of nature.
He could see others' destinies clearly but not his own.
Jiang Shaoqing lowered his head and ate dumplings when he heard his father was angry.
After eating one dumpling, he still felt unwilling and looked at his father, asking, "Dad, don't you believe what I say?"
His gem-like eyes seemed to have tears glistening.
Mu Jiuchen silently glanced at him and said nothing.
Jiang Shaoqing suddenly stopped eating breakfast and stood in front of his father, staring intently at his face as if in defiance.
Mu Jiuchen pointed to his stool, "Go back, sit down, eat. We'll go to the science museum after breakfast."
Jiang Shaoqing suddenly cupped his father's handsome face with his small hands, exclaiming in surprise, "Dad, your facial features have changed! You have parents, a younger brother, and six children. Oh my goodness, one day in the future, our family will have three more younger sisters, ahhhh..."
Before Jiang Shaoqing could finish his excited outburst, he rolled his eyes, and his small body softly slumped onto Mu Jiuchen.
Seeing that his son had truly fainted, Mu Jiuchen shook his body vigorously.
"Shaoqing, Shaoqing."
Mu Jiuchen called out several times, but Jiang Shaoqing did not respond.
Jiang Yukuo exclaimed, "Could it be that he revealed heavenly secrets and was punished?"
Mu Jiuchen silently glanced at him, "Impossible. Your brother is talking nonsense."
Jiang Yukuo always believed his brother. "But what he says is always accurate."
"Before Aunt Meng buys futures, she always asks Shaoqing. If he says it's good, it's 100% good."
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
Mu Jiuchen: "..." This is truly exasperating.
"You all stay here. I'll take your brother to the hospital to see a doctor," Mu Jiuchen said, picking up his son to leave.
Jiang Yukuo said, "Dad, go find Great-Grandpa. Last time he told Mom he knew someone in this field. He originally wanted to take Shaoqing to see that person, but Mom was too busy and never took Shaoqing."
Mu Jiuchen nodded, "Then let's go back."
The few people quickly finished their meal, checked out, and took Jiang Shaoqing to the Lu family.
Mu Jiuchen directly carried Jiang Shaoqing to the small courtyard where Jiang Beichen lived.
Jiang Beichen was sunning himself in the courtyard, with Lu Chengsi accompanying him and chatting. Seeing Mu Jiuchen rush in with the child, Lu Chengsi also quickly stood up and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what happened?"
Mu Jiuchen said, "Shaoqing fainted."
He then carried Jiang Shaoqing to Jiang Beichen. "Grandpa, Shaoqing was reading my fortune, and after he finished speaking, he fainted."
Jiang Beichen frowned slightly and said to Lu Chengsi, "Chengsi, go prepare the car. I'll take you somewhere. It's a bit far, and we might not be back tonight. Only the few of us will go."
"Dad, but your health...?" Lu Chengsi was reluctant for him to make a long journey.
Jiang Beichen looked at him and said, "That person has a very strange temper. If I don't go, he won't see you. Besides, Nuannuan left me medicine, and my body is recovering rapidly. A one or two-hour drive is fine. Saving Shaoqing is more important."
"Alright, let's go out together," Lu Chengsi helped him up, and they left together.
Mu Jiuchen handed Jiang Yukuo and Jiang Siyun over to Jin Yan, then went out with Shaoqing.
Lu Chengsi drove the car. Jiang Beichen gave the address. Lu Chengsi saw that it was more than an hour away from the city.
He turned on the navigation, and the car's speed was consistently fast.
Mu Jiuchen held his son nervously. His little face was pale, and his breathing was normal, but he just wouldn't wake up.
The road was unfamiliar, and Lu Chengsi took two hours to reach their destination.
When he looked, there was nothing but dense forest.
He couldn't help but ask, "Dad, there's nothing here, where is it?"
