Chapter 494: Did they find Aidi?

Jiang Yuan patted Tuan Tuan Duck's head reassuringly, "What did Xiao Di say to you before she left home?"

"Quack~" Tuan Tuan Duck replied, "Xiao Di said, 'I'm sorry Tuan Tuan Duck, I can't take care of you anymore.'"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's brows immediately furrowed with worry.

Sun Aidi's words suggest that it wasn't just a simple case of running away from home.

She hugged the duck tightly and hurried back to the living room.

When Sun Qifeng saw her coming over, he reached out and adjusted his glasses: "Consultant Jiang, I'm sorry, my wife has something to do at her company and can't come. You can ask me any questions you have."

"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, sat down on the single sofa with Tuan Tuan duck in her arms, and said calmly, "I do have quite a few questions I want to know."

"Mr. Sun, did you consult Ai Di before having a second child?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Qifeng looked surprised. "Do we need to ask her opinion before having a second child?"

Jiang Yuan's expression was indifferent, and a slightly mocking smile appeared on her lips. "Then let me ask you another way."

Sun Qifeng looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Yuan: "If Aidi is your biological daughter, would you consult her opinion before having a second child? Or, would you even want to have a second child?"

Sun Qifeng's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and a dense look of shock almost burst from his eyes.

Director Liu and Xiao Rao were also completely taken aback.

Sun Aidi... isn't actually their biological daughter?

However, there was no adoption procedure between her and Sun Qifeng.

Sun Qifeng lowered his eyes, quickly composed himself, and adjusted his glasses. "Advisor Jiang is joking. Ai Di is my wife and I's biological daughter. The second pregnancy was unplanned. Since we're already pregnant, we can't just have an abortion, can we?"

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, her expression a mix of a smile and a mockery: "Alright, then I'd like to ask Mr. Sun another question: Why did you clear Aidi's name after your mother accused her of stealing money, and when you learned that the money had been found and that Aidi had been wronged?"

"Why do you allow your son to call her a thief? Why do you ignore your mother's hostility towards her?"

Upon hearing these words, Sun Qifeng stared intently at Jiang Yuan, his hands on his knees gripping his meniscus tightly.

How could she know these things?
After a moment's thought, Sun Qifeng came to an answer: the police had found Sun Aidi, and these things were what she said.

But then he felt something was off.

How could Sun Aidi possibly know that she wasn't his biological daughter?
This secret was known only to a few people, not even to Lu Huiling's parents.

Sun Qifeng didn't answer, and Jiang Yuan continued, "Aidi's grades are clearly good enough for a bachelor's degree, but you want her to choose a vocational college. Is it because a vocational college allows her to start earning money a year earlier and pay less tuition? Are you even her biological father?"

Sun Qifeng's eyes darkened, and he suddenly became certain of his earlier guess.

It was Sun Aidi who said it!

He gritted his teeth, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and feigned anxiety: "Have you found Aidi? Where is she now?"

“Mr. Sun, we haven’t found Aidi.” Jiang Yuan said coldly. “What we can confirm at the moment is that Aidi ran away from home not because she did poorly on the college entrance exam, but because of her parents’ neglect, her younger brother’s bullying, and her grandmother’s targeting.”

Director Liu looked displeased and said in a deep voice, "If that's really the case, then you've gone too far!"

Sun Qifeng immediately denied it: "No! That's not true, you're talking nonsense!"

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know very well." Jiang Yuan stood up, holding Tuan Tuan Duck, her voice as if wrapped in frost. "If anything happens to Aidi, then your whole family are murderers."

After saying that, she strode away.

When they arrived at the apartment building, Xiao Rao whispered, "The woman in the red dress up ahead is Sun Qifeng's wife, Lu Huiling." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly and sized her up.

The middle-aged woman was dressed very elegantly, wearing a red fitted dress with black high heels, her face was covered in makeup, and her long, curly hair was black, shiny, and smooth.

Jiang Yuan walked towards the other person and said calmly, "Hello, are you Sun Qifeng's wife?"

Lu Huiling stopped, glanced at her, and then greeted Director Liu: "Director Liu, hello."

A familiar, pungent smell wafted into her nostrils; it was coming from her hair—the smell of chemicals from a freshly done hair treatment.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly: "Mrs. Sun has finished getting her hair done?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huiling's expression changed immediately, and she felt a surge of anger.

Weren't we supposed to tell them they were going to work? Why did they tell the truth?!

Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiang Yuan asked again, "Is it because Sun Aidi isn't your child that you're not worried even though she's disappeared? You even have the leisure to get your hair permed."

Lu Huiling's expression changed again, and she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Has Sun Qifeng gone mad? How could he reveal such a secret?

"Are you surprised?" Jiang Yuan asked. "Mr. Sun has told us everything about Aidi."

"I..." Lu Huiling didn't know what to say for a moment. She gripped her bag tightly, her lips moved, and after a while she said, "Of course I'm anxious. Even if Aidi isn't my biological daughter, I raised her with love and care. If I wasn't anxious, I wouldn't have called the police."

"You're going to get your hair done right after calling the police?"

"It's not because the discount coupon from the hair salon is about to expire..."

Jiang Yuan stared at her and said coldly, "Aidi may have suicidal thoughts."

A look of horror appeared in Lu Huiling's eyes. "How could this be?"

"How could that be?" Jiang Yuan said expressionlessly. "What do you think? Think about it yourself."

Lu Huiling froze on the spot, and it took her a while before she turned around to look at Jiang Yuan's back.

Jiang Yuan bent down and sat into the police car.

When Lu Huiling thought of what she had said, her chest felt like it was stuffed with a wet cotton ball, both suffocating and bloated, making her heart race with anxiety.

She turned around and started jogging in her high heels.

"Sun Qifeng!" Lu Huiling opened the door and shouted in a panic, "Are you crazy?"

"What are you yelling about?" Sun Qifeng asked, annoyed.

Lu Huiling saw him smoking on the balcony and angrily shouted, "Why did you tell those policemen that secret?"

Sun Qifeng took a drag of his cigarette, frowned, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Huiling was furious, but afraid of being overheard by the neighbors, she could only lower her voice and say, "It's about Aidi. How could you tell them that Aidi isn't our biological daughter!"

"I didn't tell them!" Sun Qifeng's face was grim. "You ran into them?"

Lu Huiling's pupils widened suddenly, and she covered her mouth with her hand, her face filled with panic and unease. "Didn't you say?"

Sun Qifeng frowned, his voice filled with anger, "What did you say to them?"

“They said…they said you admitted that Aidi isn’t our biological daughter…” Lu Huiling stomped her foot in frustration. “I thought you said it, so I admitted it…”
