The second day after Jiang Rui found out that the medicine was produced, he invited Jiang Qianren to his house.
“It is just like this. It can easily cause a headache if you’re not hypnotized.” Jiang Rui told him about the possible side effects and said, “It’s up to you!”
Jiang Qianren thought for a second and asked Chen Chen, “Will the headache last forever?”
“No. It will only last for some time.” Chen Chen made a guarantee. “A year, at most.”
At last, they decided to let Song Chunli have it. At least, everyone could be assured then. Now there were too many unsafe factors around, which could be too much for them.
“It will be dissolved the minute it is put in water with no taste.” Chen Chen told him, “You can just let her drink it.”
Jiang Qianren left with the drug. Then Chen Chen stretched herself. “So sleepy. I want to sleep.”
Jiang Rui held her up and said, “I will sleep with you.”
“No!” Chen Chen pushed against his chest with her hands. “Then I won’t be sleeping.”
“Well, you can sleep soon if you do as I say.” Jiang Rui caught her lips and undid the buttons on her clothes.
Han Xueying just moved into her house, which was rented by herself. The money that Anthony gave her was enough for her to spend the rest of her life in peace. But she was not satisfied to live such a normal life.
Now it seemed that she was close to success so she couldn’t have any connection with Scar. Just as Jiang Rui expected, Song Chunli was aiming at the Bai family. She hoped that Han Xueying could marry Bai Ziqi, and she told Han Xueying to stay away from Lu Tao and Bai Weirong.
Having taken off the facial mask, she heard a loud noise come from the door. It sounded like something falling on the ground. Han Xueying looked out from the security door and saw a young man crouching and picking something up.
“Ah, sorry. Did I bother you?” Xu Li apologized the minute he realized that someone was looking at him.
Han Xueying opened the door and said, “It’s nothing. Let me help you!”
Then Xu Li found the woman so pretty, so he was stunned.
The man’s behavior obviously pleased Han Xueying and satisfied her vanity. So she smiled even more coquettishly. “Come on, pick it up.”
“Ah, pick it up.” Xu Li hurriedly put the books into a box from the ground. Then he stood up to express his thanks. “Are you new here?”
Han Xueying nodded. “You… are my neighbor?”
The young man was quite attractive and looked handsome with those glasses. She carefully asked before she chose the house here. The prices of the houses were pretty high here, and the people who lived here were all white-collar with high positions or mistresses.
“If you need any help in the future, just tell me!” Xu Li reached out his hand. “My name is Xu Li.”
Han Xueying shook hands with him. “I’m Han Xueying!”
Then the two of them talked for a moment more and went back to their own homes. Han Xueying was not interested in this kind of white-collar. She believed that she wouldn’t stay here for too long and that she belonged to that fancy glorious world.
The next day, Jiang Rui found out about the message. He just doubted it at first. But now he was pretty sure that Tuan Zi was right. Xu Li was Long Zhen’ao.
“Is his brain a computer?” Xiao Si said in disbelief, “From the information we got, he used to live with his parents. Half a month ago, his friend went abroad and asked him to look after the house for him. Then he moved there.”
Scar couldn’t believe it either. “How did he know that Han Xueying would live there?”
“Master, can it be a coincidence?” Xiao Si thought that such a coincidence didn’t seem real.
Jiang Rui didn’t say anything. He had been suspecting that Long Zhen’ao’s genes had been improved.
“Master?” Scar looked at him. “What should we do now?”
“Keep an eye on Han Xueying.” Jiang Rui’s eyes shone as he said, “Long Zhen’ao must know that we are spying on that woman. I believe he has started to suspect Han Xueying’s status. Now it’s just uncertain whether they are siblings or not.”
Now the circumstance was good for them. Long Zhen’ao was so arrogant that he wouldn’t imagine that Tuan Zi could see through his disguise. The real Xu Li had probably died already.
Xiao Si smiled. “It’s easy. We have Han Xueying’s hair. Now we should take Long Zhen’ao’s hair and do a test. Then it will be clear.”
Before they thought of a way to get close to Long Zhen’ao, Tuan Zi took some of his hair back home.
“Dad, take it. I have to wash my hands now. It’s so gross!” Tuan Zi pinched the hair with a piece of paper and passed it to Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui didn’t know whether he should praise her or not. “You got close to him again?”
“I didn’t do it on purpose. This morning, he taught me how to solve a quiz and I took it from his clothes by chance.” Tuan Zi cleaned her hands and ran over. “If they’re really siblings, will Long Zhen’ao acknowledge her?”
“No.” Jiang Rui said, “At least, if I were him, I wouldn’t.”
Long Zhen’ao, who should be called Xu Li now.
He was throwing a letter into a mailbox. Then he casually walked into an Internet cafe and sent an email to the Genetic Examination Institution.
When he first arrived in the capital, he found that Jiang Rui had come back with a woman. At first, he thought that Scar fell for Han Xueying. Then when he saw the woman’s photo, he had a strange feeling.
She looked quite similar to him, so Han Xueying’s existence was worth paying attention to. As a result, he changed the primary plan and found Xu Li. He used Xu Li’s status and face and successfully entered the school. Besides that, he became a neighbor of Han Xueying.
Everything went on as they planned. But everyone thought they were the hunters waiting for the prey to come.
In the Jiang family…
Song Chunli walked downstairs with her head covered.
“Mum, what’s wrong?” Jiang Qianren quickly walked up to her.
“Why are you not with the troops?” Song Chunli seemed to be feeling unwell.
Jiang Qianren carefully looked at her and said, “I don’t have many things to deal with today. Which part of you is uncomfortable?”
Song Chunli sat down. “It’s a headache. I’ve taken painkillers already.”
“Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“No. I feel much better now.” Song Chunli waved her hand. “The doctor told me to do more exercise. Now it’s the time.”
Jiang Qianren made a cup of tea for her. “Yes. It’s good for your health to take a walk in the yard in the morning.”
Jiang Qianren went to Jiang Rui’s place after he left home.
“Well, you should worry that those old officers will teach you a lesson now that you don’t go with the troops and play at home every day.”
Jiang Rui was playing a tennis game on TV with Chen Chen when he heard the words. So he glanced at Jiang Qianren and said, “You feel regretful that you’re not married, right?”
“Go away.” Jiang Qianren smiled at Chen Chen. “Liuliu, are you sure the headache will naturally disappear?”
Chen Chen sat on the couch panting. “Have you gotten the result?”
“My mother said that her head hurt this morning. It is the second time this week.” Jiang Qianren sighed. “At least, I can be sure she is not under control now.”
Jiang Rui poured a glass of water for Chen Chen and comforted her. “Liuliu, are you sure that the drug can definitely stop her from being hypnotized?”
“Um…” Chen Chen drank some water and said, “Unless they are superb in hypnosis or used some method that I don’t know about, it can be settled.”
“Xiao Rui, don’t worry. I’ll send someone to watch my mother.” Jiang Qianren picked up an apple from the table and asked, “What do you plan to do with that Han Xueying?”
At first, Jiang Qianren thought that his mother would introduce Han Xueying to him and was terrified for a few days.
“Relax.” Jiang Rui didn’t want to talk about it in front of Chen Chen, so he changed the subject. “Liuliu has painkillers that are more useful than those sold outside. When you leave, you can take some for her.”
Chen Chen nodded and took out a bottle of medicine. Jiang Qianren felt nervous when he left. If Song Chunli had treated the two kids nicely, it wouldn’t be so cold at home.
Having seen Jiang Qianren off, Jiang Rui saw Chen Chen yawning again. He frowned and grabbed the keys. “I’m going to pick up Tuan Zi now. You can sleep for a while.”
By the time Chen Chen woke up, she found Hua Tuo sitting in the living room.
“Which of you is ill?” she asked anxiously.
Tuan Zi pointed at Hei Zi. “Hei Zi doesn’t have a good appetite these days.”
“Woof!” There was a beef stick in Hei Zi’s mouth.
Chen Chen patted it. “It never stops eating. Can it have a better appetite?”
“Haha!” Tuan Zi laughed.
Jiang Rui walked out from the kitchen with a plate in hand. “Tuan Zi, you’re mean to your mother again.”
“Hmm…” Chen Chen ran into his arms. “I want another child who is normal.”
Tuan Zi stared and shouted, “What about me is abnormal? Is intelligence a weakness?”
“Go away!” Chen Chen ignored her and still held Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui put down the dishes, hugged Chen Chen, and made her sit on his lap. “Let Hua Tuo check for you. Maybe you’re already pregnant.”
“Huh?” Chen Chen didn’t get it right away. She stared at Jiang Rui blankly. “What?”
Hua Tuo sighed. He felt that his master brought up two children on his own…
Jiang Rui pinched her face and said, “You’re too sleepy recently so I called Hua Tuo over to check for you.”
“You mean that I may be pregnant?” Chen Chen’s eyes were very round. Then she lowered her head to look at her belly as if there was already a baby in it.
“Mrs. Jiang, I’ll know after I feel your pulse.” Hua Tuo reached out his hand.
Chen Chen gave him her arm and was so nervous that she even held her breath so as not to interrupt him.
“Liuliu, relax, don’t be so nervous.” Jiang Rui held her even tighter.
Tuan Zi cut in, “Mum has wanted a little boy for a long time.”
Since Chen Chen knew that she had gotten the marriage certificates with Jiang Rui, she had had the idea.
Years ago, Tuan Zi was developed into an embryo in a test tube first, then it was inserted into her uterus. But at last, it was taken out because of her health conditions. Chen Chen had wanted to bear a baby on her own and experience it.
Such a thought was really strange. Ah Zi had once expressed how she felt strange about Chen Chen’s brain. It would be too painful to bear a child while a cesarean section was much better. The child was born after a nice sleep. There was no need to experience such pain.
“Give me the other hand.” Hua Tuo motioned to her.
Chen Chen looked at Jiang Rui. “Do you like a boy or a girl?”
“As long as it’s our child.”
“Then make it a boy! He can protect his elder sister.”
“Okay, let’s have a boy.”
Hua Tuo stopped them. “Huh… don’t you think it’s a bit too early to talk about this?”
