Chapter 274: Why not look for Dad?

"How could you call what we have ’scrounging’?" Yueqing asked seriously, "It’s called legitimate striving!"

"I might as well just give you one thousand points."

Yueqing laughed, "That’s the spirit! It was your own offer, I didn’t even think of asking for so much."

System: ...

What to do, the Host is getting too cocky! So annoying!

It decided to keep silent and say nothing.

Yueqing called for Tong Bao and Tong Zi several times, but there was no response.

Chuckling happily, she couldn’t help blurting out, "You little rascal, got quite the temper."

System: Can’t hear, can’t hear.

Yueqing cooed, "Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I’m sincerely asking, how many missions are left concerning Xiaoxiao? What’s the time limit?"

The system appeared, "Regarding the missions related to the bound Cute Baby, Song Xiaoxiao, there are two that are not yet completed."

As it spoke, a dialogue box popped up.

One, Special Cute Child Task—Escape the Tiger’s Mouth Plan.

Mission Requirement: Within three months, help Song Xiaoxiao leave the Song Family and promote harmonious relations between the two sisters. (One month of the mission time has passed, please be mindful of the remaining time, Host.)

Mission Reward: +50 enhancement points, choice of one Basic Skill.

Failure Punishment: Favorability of Song Xiaoxiao and Song Xiaoyu reset to zero.

Two, Plot Repair Mission.

Mission Requirement: Correct the subplot where Song Xiaoxiao dies due to Song Qinglong’s brutality.

Mission Time: One month (three days have already passed.)

Mission Reward: 100 enhancement points.

...

After reading, Yueqing thought for a few seconds, "Hmm... not much time to spare."

Helping Song Xiaoxiao leave the Song Family was simple, just correct the plot about her dying because of Song Qinglong, and leaving that den of tigers and wolves would be easy.

With her biological father in prison, her biological mother, Chen Xue, probably can’t escape implication either!

After all, in the original plot, when the Song Family fell apart, the first thing Chen Xue did was run away with her belongings.

She didn’t even arrange her own daughter’s funeral. She probably knew quite a bit of insider information, and would be sentenced if caught.

"After Song Qinglong and Chen Xue are imprisoned, the Song Family will be left with just Old Lady Song."

Yueqing murmured while thinking about the plot.

It should be easy to persuade Old Lady Song. She seemed to be the only one in the entire Song Family who genuinely cared about Song Xiaoxiao.

Even Du Mansheng had said Old Lady Song was a good person—unfortunately, the one who understood right from wrong had the least say in the family.

In the past, it was Old Master Song, and later Song Qinglong. Father and son handed down their ruthless and overbearing ways. There were many things Old Lady Song simply had no control over.

"I think, as long as there are no direct family members around, Old Lady Song would be willing to let Xiaoxiao go with Sister Mansheng... the two kids got along quite well at the base too! I guess the first mission won’t be too much trouble."

So then...

The real issue lay with the second mission.

Within a month, Song Qinglong’s true nature needed to be exposed while also ensuring Xiaoxiao’s personal safety...

Yueqing pondered this as she went back to her room.

Her two sons were studying. When they saw her enter, they lifted their heads in unison.

"Mom."

Their voices, identical and sticky sweet, made Yueqing’s lips curl up into a delighted smile.

"Darlings, Yan Bao," she responded warmly, "What are you up to?"

"Reading."

"Okay, you guys carry on, Mom’s going to make a call to Teacher Jiang."

Having said that, she sat down at the desk and dialed Teacher Jiang’s mobile number.

Yueqing had never hidden matters concerning Xiaoxiao from her two sons.

She would proactively communicate and discuss any developments with them.

After all, her two little cubs were incredibly smart! They often saw things from unique perspectives, and chatting with them might just spark new ideas.

Jiang Chuanning listened to her request and fell silent for a moment, "Yueqing, while Nianxing is indeed one of the Jiang Family’s enterprises, the technology you’re asking about is an internal research project that’s not yet quite mature."

"Ah?"

Not yet mature?

System: Oh no! So infuriated by the Host that I forgot this is a project that’s only gradually being implemented next year?!

Jiang Chuanning soothed, "I’m not worried about the project leaking. After all, as the future family head, it’s quite normal for you to have gotten wind of this news through any channel. My concern is... you’re asking about this project because you must need it urgently, but if the project is immature... the person you want to track could become a guinea pig, or it might even have adverse effects, you see?"

"I see," Yueqing muttered to herself, cursing the unreliable system. "Then I’ll think about it and get back to you, Teacher Jiang. Good night."

Jiang Chuanning’s warm voice replied, "I’ll inquire about the progress on their end. If it’s possible, I’ll contact you again. You should rest early."

"Mm, okay~"

After hanging up the call, Yueqing was close to grinding her teeth in frustration, "Tong Bao, care to explain?"
