Chapter 126: 126 Du Mansheng plans to take Xiaoyu away (Thank you everyone for the votes, extra update~)

She arrived with a travel-worn look on her face, which seemed a bit exhausted, but her eyes sparkled with extreme happiness.

"Yueqing!" Upon their meeting, Du Mansheng couldn’t help but envelop her in a big hug, "I’ve handled everything."

Then she added in a low voice, "I can finally bring Xiaoyu home."

Yan Yueqing gave her a look that seemed to ask, "Shall we reveal Xiaoyu’s identity now?"

Du Mansheng shook her head.

Song Hui and his wife were not good people; if they revealed it now, those two would definitely interfere! With the results of the paternity test, Du Mansheng was sure she could successfully take Xiaoyu away, not afraid even if it led to the police being called!

But...

She and her Xiaoyu had not even met face to face!

What was the child thinking?

For seven years, she had been calling Song Hui and his wife, Dad and Mom. What if a woman suddenly appeared, claiming to be her birth mother, wanting to take her away? Xiaoyu would probably be very shocked too!

For the child who had been suffering outside, Du Mansheng couldn’t help wanting to offer her everything good!

However, the most important thing was Xiaoyu’s own wishes...

If she was unwilling, Du Mansheng would not force the child to leave with her!

On the way there, she had already thought of a plan.

After communicating briefly with Yan Yueqing, they came to a mutual agreement.

Du Mansheng went in to see Xiaoyu while Yan Yueqing stayed out of camera shot and whispered to a staff member.

Although Du Mansheng had prepared herself mentally, when she saw Song Xiaoyu for the first time, she couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.

The reason was nothing else... the child was too thin!

It is well known that people appear heavier on camera.

But Song Xiaoyu already looked very thin in the live broadcast!

Du Mansheng hadn’t expected that in reality, she would be so frail! To the point of being skin and bones?

Song Hui and his wife, having taken half a million, still mistreated their Xiaoyu like this?!

When she had first come in, she saw Song Xiaohua and Song Xiaoye, the two siblings, sleeping soundly, one with skin more fair than the other.

Only her Xiaoyu...

The originally lovely face had become dry, thin, and darkened from years of toil.

Her hand, hidden under her sleeve, suddenly clenched tight!

Tiantian didn’t notice the flame hidden in Du Mansheng’s eyes and ran over excitedly, "Cousin! You finally came~ I’ve been good, just like Cousin told me to, chatting with Sister Xiaoyu all afternoon~"

Tiantian was very quiet in the show, but these past two days, Tang Tang had influenced her to be much livelier.

Du Mansheng reached out to touch her niece’s face, "Tiantian is so sensible. When we go back, Cousin will buy you some candy."

Without thinking, Tiantian blurted out, "Buy one for Tang Tang too!" Then, considering fairness, she counted on her fingers, "Also buy for Sister Xiaoyu, and for Brother Yan Wang, Younger Brother Yan... and..."

She pursed her lips, not wanting to include Song Xiaohua.

Du Mansheng’s mind was elsewhere; she briefly responded and, with heavy steps, walked towards Xiaoyu’s bed.

The frail girl looked at her curiously, her beautiful large eyes filled with caution, "Are you... Aunt Du?"

Du Mansheng’s lips quivered, "Yes, I’m Aunt Du..."

Song Xiaoyu was very grateful, "Aunt Yueqing told me, Aunt Du also donated blood for Xiaoyu... I’m really thankful for your help!"

Her tone was polite and courteous.

Du Mansheng’s nose tingled with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes, "It’s okay, being able to help Xiaoyu makes me very happy!"

Seeing her cry, Song Xiaoyu quickly reached out, "What’s wrong, Aunt Du? Don’t cry!"

The hands, calloused from hard work, trembled as they touched the beautiful woman’s face.

In Song Xiaoyu’s heart, ripples suddenly stirred.

It seemed she couldn’t bear to see the aunt in front of her so upset...

Du Mansheng shook her head, "It’s nothing... Seeing Xiaoyu getting better makes me very happy."

Song Xiaoyu shyly lowered her head, "Aunt Du is so kind to Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu is also happy."

Right then, arguing voices came from outside the room.

Tian Xiaoe’s loud voice bellowed, "What did you say? Say it again?!"

The staff member repeated, patient and amiable, "Qin Youran signed the contract to bring this shoot to a close. But she took it upon herself to leave her assigned group, along with the cute baby guest, and join Yan Yueqing’s group, then tirelessly looked after Song Xiaoyu... The production team has decided to have Song Xiaoyu take over the rest of the cute baby’s filming time... Now that Qin Youran has left, Xiaoyu needs to make up for the lost time, otherwise, we can’t explain it to the company or the fans."

Tian Xiaoe waved her hands immediately, "That’s your own problem! What does that have to do with our family?"

The viewers were surprised:

[What? Is that even a thing?]

[Tian Xiaoe isn’t wrong, though. It was Qin Youran’s decision, what does it have to do with Song Xiaoyu? She’s still sick, right? It’s not like they must drag her here to fill in the filming time for a show, is it?]

[Since when did the production crew become so unreasonable?]

[Speaking of which, Qin Youran’s broadcast has been off for a whole day, any explanations?]

[Does she even dare to show up? Hasn’t she already released a statement stepping away from the limelight? I heard she left overnight. Ridiculous.]

The staff member was at a loss too, "These are orders from above, it’s not that we want to trouble you! As compensation, the company plans to give Qin Youran’s appearance fee to Song Xiaoyu. If you’re unwilling to make up for the time, then let’s forget it."

"Wait!" Tian Xiaoe’s eyes lit up at the mention of money, "How much?"

"Twenty thousand yuan."

Tian Xiaoe snapped to attention, "Twenty thousand yuan?! Okay, okay, take Xiaoyu to finish the shoot! Just remember to bring her back to us when you’re done!" Perhaps afraid of criticism, she deliberately added in a motherly tone, "If even a single hair on Xiaoyu’s head is missing when she returns, I’ll have a never-ending quarrel with your production team!"

The staff member, mission accomplished, laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, we will take good care of Xiaoyu! The only thing is... I don’t know if Xiaoyu herself is willing?"

Tian Xiaoe immediately said, "Why wouldn’t she be willing? I’ll go tell her right now!"

She then turned her plump body into the indoor area, blurting out instructions, "Xiaoyu, follow the production team to make up for the filming time! Don’t worry about home, you have me and your dad!"

Although she achieved her aim, Du Mansheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing Tian Xiaoe’s commanding tone, she still couldn’t help frowning and turned back, "Sister Tian, Xiaoyu is in poor health and hasn’t been discharged yet!"

"Then she can go after she’s discharged!" Tian Xiaoe said indifferently, "Don’t you like Aunt Yan? Just go with her to see the world in City C!"

Yan Yueqing shook her head, "I have to go back tonight, I can’t wait for Xiaoyu to be discharged. How about this, Sister Mansheng stays here with Xiaoyu for two days, and when she’s better, you can bring her to City C together?"

Du Mansheng didn’t answer, her expression gentle as she looked at Song Xiaoyu, "What do you think, Xiaoyu? Would you like to go with us to another city?"

This was the first time someone had taken the initiative to ask for her opinion!

Song Xiaoyu bit her lip.

After a moment, she followed her heart and said, "I’m willing."
