Chapter 204 Chaochao Eavesdropping
Yuan Yuan chuckled, and Chao Chao felt that his smile was a little bit... cunning.

He said, "I suspect my brother is in a relationship, so I'm looking for evidence. If I find it, I'll have something on him, and he'll have to listen to me in everything from now on."

She ground her teeth and muttered, "Let's see if you dare to cut off my snacks or force me to study again. If you dare to bully me again, I'll tell Mom and Dad."

Chaochao was shocked, "Talk, talk about dating?"

She already knew what dating meant, "So, does that mean we're going to have a sister-in-law?"

"That's still a long way off. My brother just turned seventeen this year."

Chaochao tilted her head. "Isn't seventeen the perfect age?"

Most of the older brothers and sisters in Shangliu Village were already married by the age of seventeen. If someone was over eighteen and still unmarried, they would be laughed at.

My older cousin is seventeen; he really should be looking for a partner.

If he had a sister-in-law, his aunt and grandparents should be happy. How could it become a handle for Yuanyuan's brother?

Chaochao couldn't figure it out, so she turned to ask, only to see Yuanyuan struggling to decipher the code.

"Isn't it my older brother's birthday?"

Yuan Yuan was annoyed. Why set such a complicated password?
He entered his own birthday, but it didn't seem to be correct.

Chaochao asked softly, "Brother..."

"Wait a minute, let me think of a password. Just randomly entering it won't work, it'll lock easily and I'll have to wait a long time. I need to think about it carefully."

Hearing that he needed to think, Chaochao could only obediently shut her mouth and not disturb him.

But hiding under the table was too boring, so Chaochao couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand and start daydreaming.

The people of the Great Qi Dynasty, "..."

Why don't you go out first, Chaochao, and leave Yuanyuan here alone?
They wanted to see what the banquet was like outside, and what it would be like to hide under the table.

"What do you think people will get married at in later generations?" someone finally couldn't help but ask.

From Chaochao's daily life, they could deduce that in later generations, regardless of gender, people seemed to get married quite late. For example, they had heard about Jian Panpan that day.

Jian Panpan is almost thirty years old, but she has only been married for three years.

Wouldn't that mean getting married at twenty-four or twenty-five? That's so late; to them, she'd already be considered an old woman.

This is too exaggerated.

While some people found it difficult to understand certain behaviors of later generations, they generally approved of He Zheyan dating, and even had a touch of gossip about it.

Emperor Jingxuan was this kind of person. Although he was reviewing memorials, he would still look up at the sky from time to time, hoping that Yuanyuan would quickly open her phone.

He admired He Zheyan quite a bit. The man was young but very composed, knowledgeable, and well-mannered, a typical aristocratic young man.

If such a person were born in the Great Qi Dynasty, he would be the kind of talent he desires.

Of course, even if he were born in the future, it wouldn't stop him from being envious.

Therefore, he was also very curious about what kind of woman he would be attracted to.

However, some of He Zheyan's 'fans' were very unhappy. How could this be? They had only just fallen for this handsome and talented young man, and now he was getting married so soon?
Regardless, they were all eager to see what this woman looked like and whether she was worthy of He Zheyan. Therefore, many people from Daqi waited silently beneath the sky.

Unfortunately, Yuanyuan fiddled with the phone for a long time but still couldn't turn it on.

Just as Emperor Jingxuan was speechless, he suddenly heard voices coming from the sky.

Chaochao heard it too. She was wondering what to do when she heard two footsteps walking towards them, followed by a conversation.

Chaochao felt it wasn't right to eavesdrop, so she tried to pull Yuanyuan to the other side of the table and then crawl out again once they were a little further away.

Just as she was about to take Yuanyuan's hand, she heard her own name called.

Chaochao stopped moving instantly. She hadn't intended to eavesdrop; she was the person involved and had no choice.

So not only did she stay, she also moved closer to the tablecloth.

The voices were indeed clearer.

"...Did you see the child that Young Master He found just now?"

"I saw it. It's called Chaochao. I heard it was only found a little over a month ago. It doesn't look like her to me."

"What's the difference?"

Chaochao looked down at herself. Didn't she look like her parents? But everyone said she looked like her father and mother. Her nose was like her father's, and her eyes were like her mother's.

She wanted to confirm with Yuanyuan, but when she turned her head, she found that Yuanyuan's attention was still on his phone, and he seemed not to have heard the voices next to him at all.

Chaochao had no choice but to give up and continue listening attentively.

“I heard that this child lived in a very poor place for the two years she was missing, and she had a very hard life. But when I looked at her just now, she didn’t seem like that at all. I have seen children who were trafficked to poor places. After they came back, their personalities changed completely. They became timid and fearful, and their behavior was also timid and hesitant. But look at Young Master He’s daughter, she can still run around everywhere.”

"Can the He family be compared to ordinary families? They are rich and powerful. If their child has any problems, they must have sought intervention from top psychologists."

"That's true. The He family also has the Chaoyang Charity Foundation, which has recovered quite a few abducted children. They have experience in this kind of thing."

"It's a pity, we found it after two years."

The Great Qi Man under the sky said, "Hey, what kind of talk is that? What do you mean by 'still found'? What does it matter to her if Chaochao is found?"

"The woman who is speaking must have ulterior motives."

"I think Chaochao looks a little sad."

"Of course they'd be sad. After Chaochao came back, everyone welcomed her home. But these two people talking, I don't know where they came from, they have absolutely no connection to Chaochao, and they're just spouting nonsense."

Fortunately, Chaochao quickly cheered up again. Her mother said that not everyone in the world would like or welcome her, but that's okay, as long as the people she cares about care about her too.

Chaochao quietly lifted the tablecloth, wanting to see what the two women talking looked like.

Unfortunately, she couldn't make any big movements; she could only lift a corner, so she could see the hems of the two people's skirts and the shoes they were wearing.

When the two spoke again, she quickly put the tablecloth down.

"Don't talk nonsense. If the He family hears that you don't want their child to come back, they definitely won't let it go." The man sighed as he spoke. "I know you're upset. The child hasn't been found, and Young Master He's marriage is almost over. You also had a chance to marry into the He family, but it's already like this. Just try to think positively."

After a pause, the woman added, "Actually, you could choose a different target."
