Chapter 16 The best is like water
As for the issue of raising children, Jiang Songchu smiled slightly.
Since Qiu Fanghua hasn't been home for so many years, his sudden return must mean he's facing financial difficulties.
Once this difficulty is confirmed, she can find another caregiver.
Actually, she doesn't need anyone to support her; she can rely entirely on herself.
But if the law requires her to have a caregiver, she can find another way to resolve it.
At this time, the police also arrived at the scene.
They watched the two people facing off, and after asking the neighbors around them for their general understanding of the situation, they were about to speak.
But Jiang Songchu spoke first, saying, "The house was left to me by my parents, and there's a will to prove it. You really can't take it."
She looked coldly at the pretentious woman in front of her and continued speaking.
“You haven’t been home for over ten years. Your parents just passed away and you’re already back demanding the house. You haven’t even offered them a single stick of incense.”
"Given this, I have reason to suspect that you want to raise me for your money. For my safety, I implore the police officer for help."
As Jiang Songchu finished speaking with reason and evidence, everyone's expression changed.
The police took the two directly to the police station, questioned them separately, and then let Jiang Songchu leave first.
Jiang Songchu knew that this matter would definitely not end there.
On the way back, she kept thinking about what to do.
She currently needs to understand the specific circumstances of Qiu Fanghua's family.
The system says Qiu Fanghua married a local small business owner. I wonder if there are any clues we can follow up on.
"Tongtong, do you know who Qiu Fanghua's husband is? What does he do? Could you provide me with some detailed information?"
Jiang Songchu pondered these questions and couldn't help but ask the system for answers.
After the system verified the information again, it replied: "Chu Chu, Qiu Fanghua's husband is named Jia Dong, the CEO of an entertainment company that specializes in cultivating internet celebrities. He has several well-known internet celebrities under his management."
"Qiu Fanghua was once an internet celebrity in this company. Later, Jia Dong took a liking to Qiu Fanghua. Although there was an age gap, Qiu Fanghua still accepted Jia Dong's pursuit. In her opinion, love was fleeting, and money was the only thing that mattered."
"Not long ago, Jia Dong became infatuated with a rising internet celebrity. Although Qiu Fanghua did not make a big fuss about divorce after discovering this, she was not indifferent either."
"But she valued Jia Dong's wealth more, so she simply asked Jia Dong to give her financial compensation."
"The two were initially on good terms. At first, Jia Dong readily agreed to give Qiu Fanghua a substantial monthly allowance. However, as time went on, Jia Dong began to default on the allowance from time to time."
"Qiu Fanghua was furious and went to question Jia Dong, only to learn that his company was facing financial difficulties."
At this moment, Jia Dong also thought of Qiu Fanghua's old house in the center of Nanlin City. Although it was not large, it had a superior location and was quite valuable.
"Jia Dong then proposed that Qiu Fanghua take back the house and sell it to relieve the company's urgent needs, and promised to sever ties with that internet celebrity afterwards, while giving Qiu Fanghua 20% of the company's shares as compensation."
"That's why Qiu Fanghua came to our door today. This wasn't originally part of the system's background settings."
At this point, the system looked slightly dejected and continued apologetically, "I'm sorry, Chu Chu, it was actually my oversight. I just checked with the main system and learned that when designing the background for my host, I accidentally dozed off, which caused a small bug in the settings. It can't be changed now, and we can only proceed as it is."
As compensation, the main system has prepared a random gift pack of master teacher's skills training courses for you, and you can also randomly unlock a cultural subject, as well as 50,000 yuan in cash.
Jiang Song did not show much emotional fluctuation after hearing this.
For her, Qiu Fanghua's matter was just a minor incident, one that she was capable of handling. She also needed the compensation provided by the system, so she told the system that it was alright.
Currently, she is more worried about the calligraphy.
Thinking of this, she looked up and realized that she had already arrived near the Rhine Villa.
Jiang Songchu couldn't help but sigh softly, rubbing her forehead. The commotion this morning had almost made her forget her important business.
After being confirmed by the gatekeeper and Grandma Feng, Jiang Songchu arrived at Grandma Feng's house without incident.
Grandma Feng was very happy to see her; she hadn't expected her to come visit so soon.
Although she guessed that Jiang Songchu must have something to do on this trip, she still welcomed her with great joy.
"Hello, Grandma Feng. I'm so sorry to bother you today."
Jiang Songchu sincerely apologized and sat down on the sofa with Grandma Feng.
"Xiao Chu, I'm so happy you could come. Don't worry about bothering me. Don't worry, you can come anytime. I've already told the gatekeeper, so you can just come in."
Grandma Feng looked at the girl in front of her with affection. She had longed for a daughter and granddaughter her whole life, but all she got were boys. Jiang Songchu really fit her expectations for a girl, and Jiang Songchu's appearance just fulfilled her wish, making her want to get closer to her.
Looking at the kind old lady in front of him, Jiang Songchu thought of Gu Tianrong's own grandmother, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
She replied, "Thank you, Grandma Feng. I did come today to ask you something."
"You saw the kitten I took away yesterday. I really like it and want to keep it."
"But since I live at school and there's no one at home to help take care of him, I'd like to ask if it would be convenient for you to look after Mo Bao while I'm at school."
"I saw that you liked it yesterday, but I didn't know if it was convenient for you. If it's not convenient, that's okay, I can think of another way."
Grandma Feng smiled as she looked at Jiang Songchu's serious expression: "Don't be nervous. Are you going to name the kitten Mo Bao? That's a good name! Do you like calligraphy?"
Jiang Songchu looked at the four characters "The highest virtue is like water" hanging on the wall and replied.
"Yes, Grandma Feng. I know a little calligraphy, but this piece of calligraphy on your wall is really well done. The strokes are strong and flowing, both dignified and elegant, and lively and graceful. I can feel the writer's profound skill. I wonder who this master calligrapher is?"
Grandma Feng's eyes almost squinted as she laughed: "This was written by my husband. If he heard you praising him like this, he'd probably be strutting around like crazy!"
Then, she asked tactfully, "Xiao Chu, you just said no one was home. What happened? Would you mind telling Grandma Feng?"
“Grandma Feng is joking. There’s nothing inconvenient about it. I’m an orphan. My adoptive parents passed away not long ago. Now I live alone and go to school, so I can’t take care of Mo Bao. I don’t know many people, so I thought of Grandma Feng.”
As she spoke, she smoothed her hair a little shyly.
After listening to Jiang Songchu's story, Grandma Feng's heartache was palpable.
