Susu smiled and accompanied her to the nursery. She saw the two children lying in their cribs. Hengheng's little hands were raised above his head, as if in surrender, sleeping soundly.
Tiantián, however, had her eyes open, looking at the toys hanging above her crib, constantly reaching out to grab them.
Susu first kissed the sleeping Hengheng, then went to Tiantián's crib. She pulled the hanging toys closer to her little hands, allowing her to grasp them.
But the little girl didn't grab the toys. She suddenly puckered her lips and started crying. Her cries were sharp and thin, startling Susu. "What's wrong with her?" she asked.
Yanan quickly picked up Tiantián, checked her diaper, which was not wet, and then grabbed a milk bottle, putting it in her mouth. She finally stopped crying.
Susu smiled at Tiantián and said, "So our little princess was hungry."
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Yanan complained to Susu, "You don't know, this child is such a crybaby. She cries for no reason. Sometimes she's full, her diaper is clean, and she still cries. Ever since we brought her home from the hospital, because she cries so much, Chen Ma, Xiao Mei, and I haven't had a good night's sleep. It seems girls are harder to raise than boys. I should have a boy next time."
As soon as she said this, her face turned red, realizing she had spoken carelessly.
Susu saw that she was quite skilled at taking care of the children now and smiled, saying, "You had a boy first, and when you get tired of raising him, you can have a girl for your second child."
"You make it sound like we can decide whether to have a boy or a girl as we please."
"You know that gender is determined by heaven," Susu said, looking again at Tiantián, who had fallen asleep after a few sips of milk. She felt that the sleeping child looked like a little angel who had fallen to earth, melting her heart.
Yanan carefully placed her back in the crib and sighed, "She's finally asleep. She's an angel when she sleeps, but a little devil when she's awake."
Susu felt she was exaggerating and said, "Let me sleep with her tonight. You all get a good rest."
Yanan quickly said, "Okay, that would be great. I can finally get a full night's sleep."
Susu thought of something. Seeing that both children were asleep, she pulled Yanan to the door of the nursery and asked, "Yanan, the police arrested Lü Yuanhong this time. Did Su Kangxi say anything to you?"
"He never tells me about his work. He says their job nature requires secrecy, even from their closest family."
Susu said "oh" with disappointment and asked again, "Kangxi, has he mentioned Tianyi to you?"
Yanan thought for a moment and shook her head, "Probably not. After President Qin had that accident last time, he did mention it. He said he regretted not being able to stop President Qin earlier and wished he hadn't let him get on that speedboat."
"You can't blame him for that. Tell him not to blame himself for this anymore." Susu thought that Su Kangxi hadn't revealed anything to Yanan either, so she would have to investigate on her own.
"Okay, I'll tell him."
Susu whispered, "Can you go out tomorrow and find someone for me? I want him to come here. I need him to help me investigate something."
"Who?" Yanan asked.
"A private detective. I want him to help me investigate something, but I can't show myself before the restructuring meeting of Shu Corporation."
"No problem, I'll go for you tomorrow." Yanan agreed readily, then hesitated and said, "You, you still think President Qin is alive... No, he must be alive. He'll be fine."
Yanan wanted to say some things to Susu but couldn't bear to, so she let her continue to believe that Qin Tianyi was alive.
In her opinion, if Qin Tianyi were still alive, and the twins had already been born, why hadn't he appeared? She always felt that the chance of Qin Tianyi surviving that explosion was slim.
Susu firmly said, "I feel like someone is very much like him. Oh, it's not that he looks like him, but he has a familiar scent. So I want to investigate this person's background. I originally wanted to ask Kangxi, but after hearing what you said, I'm afraid Kangxi's department has regulations and it's not convenient to disclose ongoing cases."
"Who is that person, what does he do, and where did you see him?" Yanan asked curiously.
Susu acted coyly, "When I've investigated it clearly, I'll tell you in detail, okay? Right now, it's all just my speculation."
Yanan playfully tapped her forehead with her finger, "Alright, if you don't want to say, I won't ask too many questions. You just came out of the hospital, go rest. You'll know how formidable your princess is tonight."
Susu appeared indifferent. Anyway, whether Tiantián was fussy or not, she wanted to spend more time with her children.
When she first moved into that extremely secluded private hospital, she thought she would stay for three months. Fortunately, it was shorter than expected, and she could go home after just over a month.
The police had been quite efficient in arresting Lü Yuanhong this time, so she could reunite with her children sooner and no longer have to fear Lü Yuanhong and Jia Nanfang.
She returned to her bedroom to find the room still empty. Almost a year had passed, and despite her longing, Qin Tianyi had not returned.
She felt that this wait seemed to be becoming endless. She didn't want to wait any longer. She had to find him actively. Regardless of the reason, after dealing with Shu Corporation's affairs, she would bring him back.
...
After returning, she rested at home for two or three days before having to take over Shu Corporation's affairs.
When she contacted Shu Zhongze, he became extremely excited upon hearing her voice. "Susu, it's great! You're really alive. That Xiao Anjing didn't lie to me."
"President Shu, thank you for your concern," Susu said, deliberately creating distance. "Let's keep it brief, shall we? Just tell me what I need to do next so I can return Shu Corporation to you legitimately."
"Actually, there's no need to rush. Xiao Anjing said you need to recuperate, so you should rest more. Anyway, Lü Yuanhong can no longer harm Shu Corporation. We can discuss it after you've recovered a bit," Shu Zhongze said in a gentle tone.
However, Susu didn't want to remain entangled with him. She said, "But Xiao Anjing told me that if I don't show up to take over Shu Corporation for restructuring soon, the old guard within the group might cause trouble. Aren't you worried?"
"This... that's true," Shu Zhongze no longer made excuses and got to the point. "Alright, I'll tell you what to do, but please don't overwork yourself. Also, I'll have Secretary Zhan go to the group to assist you, so you won't be too tired."
"Okay, tell me."
Early in the morning, she arrived at the top floor of Shu Corporation. Xiao Anjing, worried, followed her, fearing she wouldn't be able to handle the arrogant shareholders and directors.
As they reached the door of the former office of Shu Zhongze on the top floor, Secretary Zhan was already waiting for them.
Susu directly told Secretary Zhan, "Give me all the relevant documents, and then notify the shareholders to hold a meeting in the conference room in an hour."
"Okay." Secretary Zhan responded respectfully and went to handle these matters.
