Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Follow-up Trivial Matters

Other mother-daughter reunions may involve a prolonged process of crying and complaining.

But Mao Sanmei and Tang Tang won’t, as neither of them can speak.

One can only cry "woo woo woo" softly, as if afraid of disturbing others, even her crying sound is very low.

The other just grins a silly smile, showing no trace of sadness.

Every now and then, however, she makes short noises like "oh oh~", "muah muah~", "han han~", or "hoo hoo~".

As if comforting Mao Sanmei.

"There, there, Sanmei, no more crying," Ding Simin says, consoling her by her side.

Tang Tang also reaches out her little hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Song Meixian approaches Shen Siyuan, greeting him once again.

"Mr. Shen, I have completed my task," she says with a smile.

Then her gaze sweeps over Ruan Hongzhuang, who is standing close to Shen Siyuan, and she gives a slight nod in her direction, choosing not to approach further.

Next, she hands Shen Siyuan a document.

Shen Siyuan takes it and sees that it is a DNA test report; needless to say, whose report it is.

As for how the DNA was collected, it’s a simple matter for agencies like the Special Affairs Bureau; Shen Siyuan doesn’t ask further.

After skimming through it, he can’t help but praise, "You guys really do thorough work."

Song Meixian is pleased to hear Shen Siyuan say this and subconsciously breaks into a smile.

Ruan Hongzhuang, standing beside Shen Siyuan, feels as if suddenly the world bursts into bloom, everything seems much brighter at this moment, and even she, a woman, stares in a daze.

It is Shen Siyuan, however, who remains indifferent.

"This time, I owe you one," Shen Siyuan says.

"You flatter me, but to officially take the child with you, you’ll probably need another DNA report," Song Meixian reminds him.

The report she has provided is not legally binding, as it doesn’t even include identification information for either party and naturally cannot be used as evidence for adopting the child.

Shen Siyuan nods, indicating he understands.

"There’s also the matter with Xiaonan..." Song Meixian hesitantly begins.

But Shen Siyuan waves his hand, cutting off her words.

"I kind of understand some of the reasons, so I don’t blame her. It’s just that she has been struggling for such a long time. Let her give it another try; if it doesn’t work out, then so be it. Such a unique species is extremely difficult to cultivate..."

"Thank you for your understanding," Song Meixian responds.

Seeing that Shen Siyuan is not annoyed about the matter, she breathes a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ding Simin walks over.

Mao Sanmei has stopped crying and is now looking Tang Tang up and down, very carefully...

As if trying to see if her daughter has suffered any harm, or perhaps to imprint her deeply in her own memory.

"Miss Song, who are these two?" Ding Simin asks curiously.

She had just seen this young person pulling along Tang Tang, the daughter of Mao Sanmei.

Now, taking a closer look, she feels the man is handsome and the woman beautiful, both with an extraordinary demeanor, clearly not ordinary people.

"This is Mr. Shen Siyuan, and this is Miss Ruan Hongzhuang..." Song Meixian makes a brief introduction on her own initiative.

Ruan Hongzhuang, standing to the side, is somewhat surprised upon hearing this, as the other party seems to know her, but she doesn’t even know the other party’s name.

Song Meixian then gives a detailed introduction to Ding Simei, and Shen Siyuan, upon hearing this, is similarly surprised.

To think they are Tang Tang’s mother’s employers; not many are capable of going this far.

Just then, Xu Liangyou, hearing the commotion, also comes out from inside the house.

After another round of introductions, Xu Liangyou summoned everyone into the house.

"I won’t go in," said Song Meixian.

"Then you go ahead with your things, we’ll get in touch later," Shen Siyuan politely remarked.

Song Meixian smiled, and turning her gaze toward Ruan Hongzhuang said, "Miss Ruan, goodbye."

Ruan Hongzhuang was taken aback, not expecting the other party to bid her farewell, but quickly said, "Goodbye."

Only then did Song Meixian turn and get in her car to leave.

The reason she did not want to stay was partly because she had completed her task, and partly because Ruan Hongzhuang seemed somewhat wary of her.

Women understand women best. Song Meixian knew all too well what Ruan Hongzhuang was thinking. Moreover, as a beautiful woman like herself, almost every man that she came into contact with, if they had a girlfriend or wife, would be extremely wary of her.

Her charm was too great, fatally attractive to men.

Luckily, her own strength was extraordinary, and she was a member of the Special Affairs Bureau; otherwise, she might have faced countless troubles over the years.

Seeing Song Meixian drive away, Ruan Hongzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned her head, she saw Shen Siyuan looking at her with an amused expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ruan Hongzhuang glared at him, feeling somewhat guilty.

Shen Siyuan didn’t speak but took her hand and walked towards the yard.

In the courtyard, Xu Liangyou and his wife Ding Guilan were communicating with Ding Simei, while Mao Sanmei stood anxiously on the side, clutching Tang Tang.

Upon seeing Shen Siyuan come in, Tang Tang immediately wriggled out of Mao Sanmei’s grasp. Mao Sanmei reached out to grab her but was afraid of being too forceful and didn’t dare exert too much strength, letting Tang Tang break free.

Tang Tang opened her arms, ran to Shen Siyuan with a silly smile, and asked for a hug.

Shen Siyuan stretched out his hands to pick her up and set her on his arm.

Tang Tang embraced Shen Siyuan’s head and made a "hanhan" laughter.

Xu Liangyou pointed at Shen Siyuan and said: "This is Mr. Shen, the one who helped Tang Tang find her mother."

Ding Simei suddenly realized that Mr. Shen must have great influence.

"I’ll go talk to them," said Ruan Hongzhuang, standing to the side.

Shen Siyuan nodded, leaving the matter in Ruan Hongzhuang’s capable hands.

Ruan Hongzhuang walked over, greeted Ding Simei, and the somewhat frightened Mao Sanmei. Then she took out her business card and handed one to each, before she started discussing her plans.

"My boyfriend really likes Tang Tang. We were thinking of adopting her, but my boyfriend feels we should first clarify Tang Tang’s background, just in case her father and mother are also looking for her..."

Ruan Hongzhuang explained the situation, and Ding Simei translated for Mao Sanmei.

Finally, she said to Ding Simei: "Miss Mao works as a nanny in your home. I don’t know if you’d be willing to part with her. We happen to need a live-in nanny. If she joins our household, her compensation will certainly be no less than before, and it would be more convenient to take care of Tang Tang. We have arranged a sign language teacher for Tang Tang’s upcoming education..."

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t want to pressure them but instead explain things to reason with them.

Upon hearing this, Ding Simei first looked at Shen Siyuan, who was playing with Tang Tang in the courtyard, with a surprised look, and then showed a reluctant expression.

The old lady was well taken care of by Mao Sanmei, which had greatly relieved their burden; a sudden departure would be a hassle for them.

Yet, Ding Simei felt uncomfortable outright refusing because this couple before her was extraordinary, able to easily maneuver military resources, so she desired to maintain a good relationship with them, even if they may never need it, but it was best not to offend.

Moreover, considering Mao Sanmei’s daughter had a good bond with the young man, it would be hard for her to leave suddenly, and Mao Sanmei surely would not want to part with her daughter...

With these thoughts, Ding Simei had made up her mind and decided to be thoroughly generous.

So she spoke to a few people before pulling Mao Sanmei aside to have a detailed discussion.

It was also fortunate that Ding Simei had come along, sparing them a lot of trouble.

Although Mao Sanmei was both deaf and mute, she knew who treated her well. So Ding Simei didn’t need to put in much effort to persuade Mao Sanmei to stay, even though she was a bit reluctant to leave the old lady.

With that, everyone was pleased. However, Ding Simei did not go back immediately but wanted to stay for a few more days to help Mao Sanmei settle the matters.

It was said so, but in reality, Ding Simei wanted to stay to see for herself the new employers of Mao Sanmei to ensure she could leave her with peace of mind.

Naturally, Ruan Hongzhuang would not deny her and nodded in agreement.
