Chapter 647 I'm Not Good Enough for Her

A week later, the Jiang family held a welcome banquet for the new members, Xiaocao and Xiaoguang, to formally welcome them to the family.

Jiang Yuan found them a new school, and the siblings' lives finally got back on track.

The morning sun was shining brightly. At the school gate, Xiaocao and Xiaoguang, wearing brand-new school uniforms and carrying schoolbags, waved with smiles on their faces.

"Aunt Rui, Sister Yuan Yuan, Sister Xiao Xiao, see you at home!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and waved, saying, "See you at home."

Only after the siblings were out of sight did Jiang Yuan and the other two turn around and get back into the car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Fu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Yuan Yuan, your family is getting more and more lively. I'm so envious!"

Deng Rui said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, come and play often."

"Okay!" Fu Xiaoxiao replied with a smile, "I'll bring my whole family."

Deng Rui clapped her hands: "A warm welcome! The more lively the house is, the better!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes were full of smiles as she looked at her through the rearview mirror. "Mom, shall we go have dinner and watch a movie before going back?"

Deng Rui waved her hand: "You and Xiaoxiao go play, I'm going to meet a friend to chat."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Alright, where do you want to meet? I'll take you there."

“Lida Plaza,” Deng Rui said. “She opened a clothing store there.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan searched on the navigation, “Then while you’re at it, see if there are any clothes you like, I’ll bring them to you.”

"No need, I have clothes to wear."

"Buy it if you like it."

Fu Xiaoxiao smiled and chimed in, "Yes, Aunt Rui, we girls always feel like we're missing an outfit in our wardrobes."

Deng Rui chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

The car stopped at Lida Plaza. Deng Rui got out and waved to the two of them, "I'll take a taxi back myself, no need to pick me up."

"Okay," Jiang Yuan replied from inside the car, watching her walk into the mall before driving away.

Fu Xiaoxiao looked up from her phone screen. "Honey, I booked a private cinema at Lu Chengzhou's place. We'll eat and watch a movie there."

“Okay.” Jiang Yuan nodded.

I spent three hours in the private cinema, and it was only a little past one o'clock when I came out.

As Fu Xiaoxiao walked, she remarked, "Indeed, the early bird catches the worm. Shall we go for a full-body spa now?"

Jiang Yuan was about to nod in agreement when her gaze fell upon a private message. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression instantly turned serious.

"Yuan Yuan, what's wrong?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked.

Jiang Yuan's voice deepened slightly: "Some netizens messaged me saying that there's a private zoo in Chuancheng that seems to be abusing pandas."

Fu Xiaoxiao frowned subconsciously, her tone revealing surprise and dissatisfaction: "No way, you dare to mistreat even giant pandas?"

"Let me search for related videos." After getting into the car, Jiang Yuan started searching on her phone.

Many netizens recorded videos of the Chuancheng Cute Baby Zoo, among which one giant panda was particularly thin, with the outline of its protruding spine clearly visible, looking like nothing but skin and bones.

When Fu Xiaoxiao saw the panda in the video, which was so thin it looked unrecognizable, she exclaimed angrily, "My God, it's too thin! Does it not eat at all?"

"She is indeed very thin." Jiang Yuan frowned even more.

Normal pandas look round and plump, but the panda in the video has a sunken face, making it look like a malnourished bear.

She clicked on the comments under the video, and they were all condemnations.

Netizens are questioning the park management about why they treated Ping An this way.

Ping An is the name of this giant panda.

Jiang Yuan found the zoo's official account, which had released a clarification video, presumably due to the overwhelming number of questions from netizens. The video showed zookeepers preparing various foods that the giant pandas love, such as bamboo, apples, and carrots.

Yet, when faced with these delicacies, Ping An remained completely indifferent.

The zookeeper tried to feed Ping An, putting several kinds of food right up to its mouth, but it didn't even move its mouth.

The zookeeper chased after Ping An for a long time before he finally agreed to eat some bamboo.

The zookeeper, looking helpless at the camera, said, "As you can see, Ping An simply didn't want to eat. It's not that we were being harsh on its food or abusing it. Please stop spreading these false rumors."

However, the comments section under this clarification video is still filled with netizens' doubts.

Ping An must have gotten sick from being starved by you guys, that's why she's lost her appetite!

This video is just for show; I only believe what I see with my own eyes!

[So you won't feed Ping An because she doesn't want to eat?]

If Ping An really doesn't want to eat, then it's definitely sick. You should take it to the vet for a proper checkup!!!

"Yuan Yuan, can you tell what's going on?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked softly.

Jiang Yuan shook her head. "We need to go to the scene and take a look."

Fu Xiaoxiao: "When are we going?"

"The sooner the better." Jiang Yuan put down her phone, started the car, and said, "Let's go to the police station first."

Upon arriving at the police station, Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over the empty cubicles in the office. After asking the other officers, she learned that some were on missions and others were in training.

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to go to Lou Qinglin's office to explain the panda's well-being, saying, "Director Lou, I'd like to go to Chuancheng tomorrow."

Lou Qinglin nodded calmly, and after a moment's thought, said, "Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility. How about this, let Si Heng go with you tomorrow; this guy deserves a break."

"Okay," Jiang Yuan replied with a smile, "Thank you, Director Lou."

"You're welcome."

"Then I won't bother Director Lou any longer. Goodbye." Jiang Yuan stood up to take her leave.

Lou Qinglin was a little confused as he watched her walk to the door like a gust of wind. He had something else to say, so why did she run away so fast?

Two hours later, Lou Qinglin called Si Heng to his office and explained the situation, saying, "Just think of it as a holiday."

Si Heng raised an eyebrow and made a request: "Director Lou, I'd like to bring Chen Ziqi along."

"Take him with you?" Lou Qinglin frowned suspiciously. "What's the reason?"

Si Heng: "Chen Ziqi wants to find a girlfriend."

Lou Qinglin frowned even more upon hearing this. "What do you mean? You mean Chen Ziqi and Xiao Jiang..."

This time it was Si Heng's turn to frown.

He explained, "Chen Ziqi likes Jiang Yuan's good friend, and Jiang Yuan will probably take her with him when he goes to Chuancheng this time."

"I see." Lou Qinglin looked enlightened, then changed the subject, "So you don't want to find a girlfriend?"

"I don't want to," Si Heng replied succinctly.

Lou Qinglin raised an eyebrow and continued, "Are you a staunch advocate of not getting married?"

Si Hengmo raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face: "Director Lou, if you keep asking, I'm going to quit living."

Lou Qinglin: "..."

He waved his hand dismissively: "Go away, all you do is annoy people all day long."

"Then I'll bring Chen Ziqi with me tomorrow." After Si Heng finished speaking, seeing that he had no objections, he smiled and turned to leave the office.

Upon learning that Si Heng had secured this opportunity for him, Chen Ziqi felt both touched and inferior. "Boss, thank you for thinking of me so much, but I feel I'm not good enough for her."
