415 You’re Back!
Yue Jiaojiao had not expected that the person who had taken the three children away would be him.
The two of them took the portrait and did not go to the painters. Instead, they went to Yue Jiaojiao’s shop at the side. “Xiangjun, Lady Yun, we just found out who took the children away. You two wait in the shop for a while. We’ll go and bring them as soon as possible.”
When Lady Yun heard this, she clasped her hands together and said, “That’s good, that’s good. My heart has been hanging in fear.”
Because of this, Li Xiangjun hadn’t even eaten. Now that she saw Yue Jiaojiao’s meaningful glance at her, she felt a little more at ease.
After giving them instructions, Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao drove the carriage straight home.
Madam Qin, who had been pacing around at the door, immediately ran over when she saw the carriage stop.
“It’s my first time in Shangjing, so I don’t know where the restaurant is. I wanted to find you, but I didn’t know where to find you, so I was running around like a silly goose.
“Sun Jiyan has returned with three children… I heard from Doctor Sun that he met the three children on the street. I don’t know if you know about this, but I thought you’d feel anxious because the children are missing.”
“Did Sun Jiyan really bring the children back?”
The calmness that Yue Jiaojiao had been forced to maintain on her face all this time had crumbled. Her face was filled with excitement and joy as she walked around Madam Qin and quickly made her way to Doctor Sun’s courtyard.
Zhao Zhan followed closely behind, his arm always shielding Yue Jiaojiao’s back, afraid that she would suddenly fall.
“Doctor Sun.
Before she could enter Doctor Sun’s courtyard, Yue Jiaojiao heard a scolding coming from inside.
“Finally, you’re here.”
Doctor Sun was obviously furious. When he saw Yue Jiaojiao come in, he pointed at Sun Jiyan and said, “I think he’s been wandering around outside for too long and doesn’t know what it means to be thorough in his work. He even brought the children back. He didn’t even ask you if you knew that he took the child away.”
“Don’t speak up for him.” Without waiting for Yue Jiaojiao to speak, Doctor Sun glared at her. “I saw the two of you rush back. You must have thought that the children were lost, right?”
“Are you feeling anxious after finding out they were lost? Are you afraid? Did your legs go soft?”
As Doctor Sun spoke, he took Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist and checked her pulse. “Her heart rate is too high, she’s sweating too much, and her pulse is unstable. It’s obvious that she’s just been frightened.”
Zhao Zhan immediately put his wrist behind his back. “Doctor Sun, you don’t have to take my pulse.”
Sun Jiyan, who was drowsy from the scolding, turned to look at the two of them.
“I’m really sorry. I saw that this child looked exactly like you and I heard Shitou calling him Zhao Nian. The other little girl is called Luoning. I assumed she was your child too?
“You didn’t see what Shitou was doing at that time. He was holding a small hand in his arms and holding onto another tightly. Your son was holding onto the candied fruit and his eyes were fixed on it, unwilling to look away.
“I didn’t see any adults around them. I was worried that they might have been kidnapped, so I brought them back here, just in case.”
Yue Jiaojiao had just experienced such a shocking scene, so she could only restrain her anger towards Sun Jiyan. “Doctor Sun, Shitou is a few years older than the two children. Why didn’t you think to bring them back to the shop?”
“Shitou said that the two children couldn’t stay in the shop for long, so I thought of sending them home first and let my master send them to the shop. As soon as they came back, they were scolded by my master. He was afraid that it would be too much trouble to send them back to the shop, so he let them stay here. Then, he thought of sending someone to find you later.”
Doctor Sun’s consideration was quite thorough, but he just didn’t know the location of the restaurant.
It just so happened that Madam Qin didn’t want him to worry more, so she stood at the door and didn’t come back to explain it to him.
It was really a freakish combination of factors.
“Doctor Sun, Doctor Sun, I’ll go in and take a look at the children first.”
