Ge'er quickly took the computer over to show Jiang Nanfang.
But Jiang Nanfang had no mood to care about click-through rates or becoming an influencer.
With another pair of children's lives hanging in the balance, saving them was the priority.
Ge'er pointed to the time the photo was posted, reminding her.
"Mommy, look. The photo was posted at 7:10 AM Beijing time. Brother and I weren't filming anything then, nor would we use such gestures to take photos. Don't you think something is wrong?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nanfang's heart leaped, and she quickly examined the content of the photo post.
She was both surprised and delighted, "So, you mean to say..."
"Exactly. Although the two people in the photo look exactly like us, they are not us at all."
"They both ran back to Nancheng and even went to the Zhan family."
Jing Yu and Jing Tian are not in Germany, but at Zhan Beijue's home?
In just one or two days, what is going on?
Jiang Nanfang truly admired her judgment in choosing friends and her four troublesome children.
But no matter what, she had to accept the reality.
"If this is true, it's actually a good thing."
"They must have gone to Nancheng to find me. Since I'm not in Nancheng now, let's have them come back quickly."
"Send them a private message. Tell them to come find me in Danguo."
"Mommy isn't going back to Nancheng to pick them up?"
The children still held a glimmer of hope.
They hoped there was still a chance for Jiang Nanfang and Zhan Beijue.
But Jiang Nanfang was resolute.
"I'm not going back to Nancheng. As long as they can return safely, and you all stay by my side, nothing else matters."
"Trust Mommy. Although we are down on our luck for now, we will rise again. Mommy will never let you suffer."
After speaking, she immediately sent private messages to the two accounts on the short video app.
She briefly explained the situation and waited for a reply.
Meanwhile, the two children put down the computer and went downstairs.
After last night's events, Gong Beibei was intentionally trying to please them and had gotten up early to make breakfast for them herself.
As soon as the milk and fried eggs were placed on the table, she saw the two children approaching and said with a smile.
"Come quickly, try the eggs Auntie fried for you."
"From now on, Auntie will make breakfast for you. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll learn anything. Okay, Ge'er?"
Jing Tian walked over and glanced at the fried eggs.
"Auntie, they're burnt. Eating burnt food can be poisonous for children."
"..." They were only slightly burnt, why so picky?
Gong Beibei quickly used a knife and fork to cut off the burnt edges.
"Is this okay now?"
"Give Auntie some time to adapt. I'm trying my best to learn, and I believe I'll get better. Ge'er, just make do for now."
Jing Tian, however, had no intention of making do.
"It's better if you eat them after you've practiced. I'm still young and need to grow, so I can't be your guinea pig."
She felt this little girl was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
Her words were becoming increasingly unpleasant.
It was ruining her mood first thing in the morning.
As Gong Beibei was left speechless by her retort, Zhan Beijue also came downstairs.
As usual, he had a blank expression.
Jing Tian, however, was not afraid at all. She ran over and sat on his lap, asking him about his plans after breakfast.
Zhan Beijue said, "I'm going to the company, and you're going to school. What other plans could there be? Are you up to something mischievous again?"
"I was just asking."
Jing Tian hugged his neck, unable to get enough of his incredibly handsome face.
The thought of such a handsome father about to become this foolish woman's husband made her unhappy.
She had to quickly find a way to dissuade him from marrying Gong Beibei.
She hadn't thought of a plan yet when Gong Beibei interjected.
"Ah Jue, the engagement banquet is already being arranged. Time is tight, so we need to go order our outfits today."
"Auntie has already made an appointment with the studio. You don't need to go to the company this morning."
The engagement banquet is already being arranged?
Time is tight, and in two days he'll be engaged to Gong Beibei?
Although it was a foregone conclusion, the thought of marrying her so soon still made Zhan Beijue feel quite awkward.
He didn't know how things had turned out this way.
Damn Jiang Nanfang, it was all her fault!
Zhan Beijue was annoyed and didn't want to go.
"I don't have time. You go by yourself. It's just an engagement banquet, not a particularly important occasion. I can wear anything."
"How can that be?"
As they were speaking, Madam Zhan also came downstairs.
"Everyone in Nancheng knows you're getting engaged. All business partners and the media will be there. How can you say it's not important?"
"The company's affairs can wait a day or two. You need to have the right attitude. If I tell you to go, you go! You're so old, yet you don't know how to prioritize."
Madam Zhan reprimanded him.
"You're about to become husband and wife with Beibei, yet you don't even reserve any private time for her. It's only because she doesn't mind you. If it were someone else, hmph!"
"Choose your clothes and then accompany her for lunch. You can do whatever you want, but you're not allowed to go to the company. You're always so cold to people. If Uncle Gong knew, would he be at ease marrying his daughter to you?"
Her words left Zhan Beijue speechless.
Although he didn't want to marry Gong Beibei, the situation was indeed his doing.
At this point, he had no right to back out.
Moreover, Uncle Gong had such a deep relationship with his family. It would be too unfair to Gong Beibei and a betrayal to him.
Zhan Beijue could only reluctantly agree, "Got it."
Seeing that his father was going out on a date with Gong Beibei, Jing Tian felt even more uncomfortable.
"I want to go too! Daddy, Brother and I will definitely attend your engagement, right? Why are you only ordering outfits for yourselves and not for us?"
"I want to go with you and pick out a beautiful dress for me too!"
He had forgotten about the two little ones.
Gong Beibei quickly chimed in to curry favor, "Yes. And there are the children. They need outfits too, let's all go together."
After breakfast, the four of them got into Zhan Beijue's car.
Jing Tian, as if to declare her ownership, sat beside Zhan Beijue the entire time, occupying his embrace.
Although Gong Beibei was his fiancée, she couldn't even touch a finger of Zhan Beijue's, and she felt truly wronged.
Upon arriving at the studio, the staff enthusiastically surrounded them. They first measured the two children, then her.
Zhan Beijue sat outside waiting with Jing Yu, while Jing Tian followed Gong Beibei, observing.
And also to cause her trouble.
"Auntie Gong's figure isn't proportioned well, and she has flabby arms. This style won't look good on her."
"..."
"Your chest seems to sag a bit, and this style isn't suitable for you either."
"This one makes your waist look thick, and it makes you look five-five."
After trying on several outfits, each one was criticized by her. Gong Beibei was furious.
"Ge'er is still young and doesn't understand adult aesthetics. Don't cause trouble here. Go, go out and play."
Jing Tian left the fitting room and returned to Zhan Beijue, sitting in his lap and shedding tears pitifully.
"What's wrong?"
Zhan Beijue looked at her tearful face with a bewildered expression.
Jing Tian: "Auntie Gong scolded me~"
