Chapter 1074: Shanshan Side Story (1) Chapter 1074: Shanshan Side Story (1) When it was Grandpa Jianâs birthday, coincidentally, both Seventeen and Nineteen were on summer vacation, so Quan Jingwuâs family of five returned to M Country together.
Upon arriving at the manor, they found out that their family of five was the last to arrive.
âGreat Grandpa.â
The three little ones ran towards Grandpa Jian, affectionately gathering around him.
Each child calling out âGreat Grandpaâ brought endless joy to Grandpa Jian.
Of course, in M Country, Seventeen and Nineteen had no easy life; as much as they enjoyed honor and glory, they naturally had to work harder than others.
Practical problems were right in front of them; just the assets under the names of Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing alone were countless. Now, they had to add Mo Xiaoâs share of the family business, as well as Black Jackâs and Jian Luoâs, which were no small burdens.
As for Shanshan, Quan Jingwu had no intention of overburdening his little princess. In their eyes, Shanshan just needed to be happy every day.
However, the young miss Shanshan was quite ambitious; her little head was very clever. She learned everything exceptionally fast and was by no means less capable than her two brothers.
While Seventeen and Nineteen received special training, Quan Jingwu and the others planned a trip to the racecourse, with Jian Qing taking Shanshan along as well.
Under the azure sky, several figures rode horses, swiftly galloping around the ranch.
âDaddy, go for it!â
Shanshan nestled in Jian Qingâs arms, holding her little fists tight, cheering for her daddy.
Jian Qing looked down at her daughter in her arms, her red lips slightly curved.
âMommy, I want some juice,â said Shanshan softly.
âOkay, then wait here for Mommy; donât wander off. Iâll go buy it for you,â Jian Qing said softly as she placed her on a chair.
Shanshan grabbed her hand, coquettishly saying, âI want to go with Mommy.â
âAlright then.â Jian Qing laughed lightly, Shanshan hopped off the chair, and the mother and daughter left the ranch hand in hand.
The ranch had a designated refreshment shop, with a quiet ambiance that made it quite suitable for reading and relaxing.
âWelcome!â
Jian Qing walked in with Shanshan, and the clerk was stunned by the mother and daughterâs exceptional looks.
Jian Qing chose a spot and sat down with Shanshan in her arms.
She reached for the menu on the table, flipping through it casually, âShanshan, would you like some dim sum and ice cream?â
âMm-hm.â Shanshanâs eyes crinkled with her smile, her fair cheeks adorned with a shallow dimple, making her look even softer and cuter.
Jian Qing picked out a few items, then handed the menu to the clerk.
âShanshan, Mommy is going to the bathroom for a bit. Can you wait here for Mommy, and take care of Mommyâs phone for me?â
Shanshan nodded obediently, âOkay.â
Jian Qing stood up and left, while Shanshan held the phone and watched cartoons.
âWelcome!â
The clerkâs sweet voice rang again.
The man in black was tall, and his presence felt quite imposing up close. But when he looked at the little boy in front of him, his eyes conveyed a measure of respect.
The boy seemed to be about six years old, with shiny black hair setting off his skin as fair as white jade. His youthful features were already deeply elegant, hinting at a breathtaking charm in the future, especially those pitch-black eyes that held a maturity beyond his years, inconceivable for someone of his age.
âDel, a glass of warm water,â said the boy with a crystal-clear voice, carrying an unapproachable coldness.
The man named Del nodded respectfully, âYes, young master, please wait a moment.â
The boy glanced around, and when his icy eyes caught sight of Shanshan across from him, his curled eyelashes gently fluttered, then he indifferently withdrew his gaze.
Wearing black sneakers, the boy walked over, and whether by intention or coincidence, he sat at the table opposite Shanshan.
âYoung Master, your warm water,â Del said, placing the cup on the table with both hands.
The little boy reached for the cup, took a sip, and then set it down.
âAh.â
A sigh erupted.
Shanshan cupped her little face with both hands, âThe Big Grey Wolf got smacked away again, so stupid!â
Her exquisite little face made a helpless expression, drawing the attention of the clerks, who were sending heart-shaped bubbles with their gazes towards Shanshan.
Some people even recognized that Shanshan was the daughter of Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing, and quickly took out their phones to take photos of her.
âThis is bad, Young Master, theyâre coming,â Del said.
Through the glass window, Del saw the black-clothed figures nearing the entrance, and his emotionless face suddenly changed.
âYoung Master, you need to hide quickly, and take the chance to leave as soon as you can, Iâll handle them,â Del said, shielding the little boy and reaching for the gun at his waist.
âWho are you?â
Dozens of black-clothed figures charged in menacingly; the clerks were all young girls, naturally frightened by the scene.
âGet out of the way.â
The leader of the black-clothed figures knocked out the clerk blocking their way with a palm strike, his sinister gaze falling on the little boy behind Del.
âTake him,â he ordered.
âYes.â
âYoung Master, run!â Del drew his gun and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the black-clothed figures.
âAhâââ
The clerks, who had never seen such a confrontation, hurriedly hid under the cash register.
In an unseen corner, Shanshan had moved behind a large column to hide.
Even before the black-clothed figures appeared at the doorway, the little girl had hidden herself and managed to dial Quan Jingwuâs number.
One against ten was clearly not in Delâs favor.
The leader of the black-clothed figures looked at the little boy, a mocking smile crossing his face, âYoung Master, please come back with us.â
The little boy clenched his fists, a trace of ferocity sweeping through his eyes.
âAh, help, there are mice, there are miceâŠâ
A shrill scream suddenly rose, and Shanshan darted out from behind the large column, hopping and jumping, dazzling the black-clothed figures.
âHelp, thereâs a mouse there, Uncle, thereâs a mouse,â Shanshan said, looking up at the black-clothed figures with her clear, innocent eyes, showing not a hint of fear.
âUncle, please help Shanshan catch the mouse.â
The boy looked at the little girl who suddenly ran out, his brows furrowing in surprise.
The black-clothed figures paused, but quickly regained their composure, looking at Shanshan with a fierce glare, âLittle girl, get out of here or Iâll take you away too.â
Any other little girl might have already been crying in terror, but our Shanshan had always been bolder than most.
She grabbed onto the hem of a black-clothed figureâs clothes, her eyes quickly misting over, âUncle, Shanshan is scared, of the big mouse, the big mouse is going to eat Shanshanâs cake. Uncle, youâre strong, help Shanshan catch the mouse.â
The black-clothed figure frowned and reached out to push Shanshan away.
In the blink of an eye, Jian Qing arrived.
Seizing the moment while the black-clothed figures were still dazed, she picked up the gun that Del had dropped and opened fire on them.
Almost all were taken out with a single shot, her movements swift as a specter, stunning Del.
