Fang Ru took a deep breath, "It's her again!"
Hearing her tone, Lin Minglan knew her instigation had succeeded. She said tearfully, "Auntie, please don't blame her. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to see her. I tried to be kind and it backfired."
"It's not your fault. You haven't been back in a long time. Enjoy yourself while you're here and don't let these things bother you. Leave this to me," Fang Ru comforted her for a moment. "I'll go find her."
As she spoke, she suddenly remembered she didn't know where Shen Qingqing lived.
"Do you have her contact information?"
Lin Minglan, playing the part of a sensible girl, said, "Yes, but she blocked me. Auntie, if you want to find her, I know where she's staying now."
"Where?"
"At the Daxing Hotel, not far from the airport."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Minglan revealed a triumphant smile. Shen Qingqing was too naive, truly believing that holding her leverage meant she couldn't deal with her.
Fang Ru's temper would surely make her pay!
At the same time, Fang Ru indeed went out late at night and headed to the Daxing Hotel.
She arrived with an imposing aura. Using her status, she inquired at the front desk and then rushed to Shen Qingqing's room. She pounded on the door and launched into a tirade.
"Do you know that bracelet has special significance? No matter how angry you are, you can't just damage it!"
Shen Qingqing was unhappy to be berated. She cast a cold glance at Fang Ru. "What bracelet? Who told you I broke it?"
"Still playing dumb? It's the red jade bracelet I gave to Fang Ru. It's a family heirloom!"
Fang Ru's heart ached at the thought of the broken bracelet. Considering their family's circumstances, it wasn't about the money, but the precious heirloom passed down through generations. Her heart was bleeding!
"Red jade bracelet..." Shen Qingqing immediately thought of Fang Ru. "She told you, didn't she."
"Yes, and I've come to settle the score!" Fang Ru already disliked her, and now she was showing no mercy. "The bracelet you broke was expensive and an antique. You must compensate me!"
"Why should my mommy compensate you?"
A childish voice rang out. Fang Ru instinctively looked up and saw a small head emerge from behind Shen Qingqing. "Chenchen? What are you doing here?"
Shen Jinxi paused. "I..."
Just as he was about to admit he was Chenchen, Chenchen, hearing Fang Ru's voice, walked out.
Fang Ru felt a bit dizzy.
Shen Qingqing stood before her, with two small heads peeking out from her left and right. Most importantly, these two faces looked identical!
"You, you two..."
Shen Qingqing knew it was too late to stop it. But thinking that Fu Jingshu already knew, there was no point in trying to hide it. If he wanted them to know, Fang Ru and the others would find out anyway.
"My children."
She protected the two children, and they indeed clung to her, looking at Fang Ru as if she were a stranger.
Fang Ru, however, was captivated by the two identical little faces. With one child, it wasn't so overwhelming, but with two, her heart melted.
"My dear grandchildren, I'm your grandma. Come here for a hug."
Chenchen and Shen Jinxi exchanged a glance, then performed the same action: they instantly retreated.
Fang Ru couldn't see them anymore, but the synchronized movement of the two children made her heart flutter even more. She ignored Shen Qingqing standing before her, sidestepped, and squeezed her way forward, trying to put on a kind smile.
"My dear grandchildren, I'm your grandma. Don't you recognize me? Chenchen, come here, say..."
She looked at Shen Qingqing, not knowing which child was the elder or younger.
Shen Qingqing paused. "The younger one."
Fang Ru gave her a grateful look and immediately said, "Chenchen, bring your younger brother to Grandma. Grandma won't take you away, just to look at you, let me have a good look."
Chenchen and Shen Jinxi exchanged a glance, then looked at Shen Qingqing. Their movements and expressions were identical, and on top of that, they were exquisitely beautiful and adorable.
Shen Qingqing nodded. The two children, hand in hand, walked towards Fang Ru.
Fang Ru looked at the two children with identical faces in front of her, unable to describe the joy in her heart. She had always envied families with twins, and never in her wildest dreams did she imagine her own family would have them!
"Hello, Grandma."
Chenchen spoke first, his words concise and to the point.
Shen Jinxi, however, was different. His little mouth was sweeter. "Grandma is beautiful and young. You don't look like a grandma at all."
"Then what do I look like?"
"Like an auntie!"
Shen Jinxi's words warmed Fang Ru's heart. She couldn't help but hug the two children, cherishing them. "Oh, how can there be such well-behaved children like you?"
Chenchen wasn't used to it and wriggled free after being hugged, running back to his mommy.
Shen Jinxi endured a little longer. He remembered Fang Ru had just questioned his mommy. If she dared to bully his mommy, he wanted her to experience the pain of her most beloved grandson being right in front of her, yet refusing to acknowledge her.
He broke free from Fang Ru, turned, and ran to Shen Qingqing's side, hiding with Chenchen.
Fang Ru felt an emptiness in her arms, unaccustomed to it. "Why are you running? Grandma loves you. Come and talk to Grandma, okay?"
Shen Jinxi poked his head out. "You don't like Mommy, and we don't like people who don't like Mommy."
He nudged Chenchen. Chenchen, who had been counting the patterns on his mommy's outfit, was forced to peek out. "Yes," he said, then quickly retreated.
Fang Ru watched longingly, but no matter how much she looked, the two children wouldn't come out again.
Finally, with no other option, she left reluctantly.
After leaving the hotel, she finally remembered she had come to confront Shen Qingqing. But then she thought of those two grandsons... Never mind, no bracelet, no matter how precious, was as valuable as twin grandsons.
Upon returning, she made a call to Lin Minglan.
"Don't provoke Shen Qingqing anymore."
Lin Minglan didn't understand her sudden change of heart. "Why? Don't you dislike her?"
"I may dislike her, but those two children will eventually come home." The thought of those two adorable little darlings made everything else unimportant to Fang Ru.
"But..."
"There's no 'but.' " Fang Ru warned. "No one can prevent my two grandsons from coming home."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Lin Minglan glared at her phone in anger. What an unreliable person Fang Ru was!
She found a phone number and dialed it.
A man's voice answered on the other end. "Godfather, I've been bullied."
The man on the other end, hearing the tearful voice, immediately became concerned. "Who bullied you? Tell Godfather, I'll get them back for you."
"It's that Shen Qingqing again..." Lin Minglan pouted. "Godfather, I'm so wronged."
Her娇嗔 (coquettish) voice stirred the man, and he boasted, "Don't worry, no matter who it is, if they've bullied you, I won't let them off!"
