Chapter 100: Looking For A Stepfather
The three children remained silent.
Qiu Xingqiao recalled Little Jin’s nonsense in the kindergarten and complicated thoughts surged in his heart.
Little Jin said that they all looked very similar to this uncle.
Qiu Xingqiao stole a glance at Song Yan’s face and said in a mocking tone, “Uncle, are you trying to say that you’re our biological father?”
Before Song Yan could reply, Qiu Xingyu smartly said, “I know Mommy is very beautiful. We’re also very adorable!”
“But I advise Uncle not to go around acknowledging random children!”
“Previously, there was a scumbag called Yu Ge who wanted to be our father and even tried to extort money from us. He’s currently locked up in jail!”
“Uncle has such a high status. You don’t want to end up like him, right?”
Qiu Xingyu lifted her chin proudly and threatened him. She then secretly high-fived Qiu Xingyuan to celebrate.
“…”
Song Yan was speechless. He sent them home in silence.
At the villa, Qiu Tong went to the bathroom to take a bath.
The three children looked at each other and ran to Qiu Xingyuan’s room. They closed the door and their little heads crowded together as they sat cross-legged on the carpet. The thought of Song Yan put them on high alert!
“Mommy really seems to want a boyfriend… she appears to be very close to that uncle today. It’s very likely that their relationship will develop further.”
“We are already grown up. A beautiful lady like Mommy would definitely have a boyfriend.”
Qiu Xingyu said in frustration.
Qiu Xingqiao and Qiu Xingyuan pursed their thin lips and kept silent. They thought of Yu Ge and were afraid that Qiu Tong would fall into the so-called love again and abandon them. Wouldn’t they become pitiful children again?
Qiu Xingyuan seemed to have made an important decision. “She wants to find a man, but I don’t believe in her taste.”
“Why don’t we help her find a man instead? We can help her check those men out!”
Qiu Xingqiao nodded vigorously in agreement. The children once again conspired to marry off Qiu Tong. They even managed to come up with a concrete plan and countermeasures. All the way till it was late into night, they were still gathered together in high spirits…
Qiu Tong suddenly sneezed.
She rubbed her nose with her hands, feeling as if someone was plotting against her. Her back felt cold!
…
Over the weekend, Qiu Tong brought the three children and Ye Luan to the market to sell the locust pesticide.
They passed by a shop selling sugarcakes. Little Yu stared at the white and sticky sugarcakes, unable to move. She licked her lips and swallowed hard!
Qiu Tong immediately bought a few for them to share!
Qiu Xingyuan opened his mouth to take a big bite, but then saw that Qiu Tong didn’t have any cake. He thought that she didn’t buy any for herself because she wanted to save money. He cleared his throat and took a small bite, before awkwardly raising his hand.
“I don’t like sweet things. Here, have some!”
Qiu Tong, “?”
She smiled and pushed the sweetcake back. “Only children love sweet things. Mommy doesn’t.”
Qiu Xingyuan turned his head in a huff and took a big angry bite of the sweetcake, not saying another word.
Humph, so what if she was an adult?
They arranged the stall together and were soon surrounded by a huge crowd.
They were all reporters who had been waiting.
They had received news in advance that Qiu Xingyuan would be coming here to sell locust pesticide. When they saw the family of four, they rushed over with their cameras and microphones to interview Qiu Xingyuan, in order to get first-hand information about this prodigy.
“Little boy, can I interview you? How did you develop the locust pesticide at such a young age?”
“Have you made similar attempts before? Where did you learn this knowledge?”
“Ms. Qiu, do you think your children are considered geniuses?”
Qiu Xingyuan was bombarded by a barrage of questions. He answered them seriously.
Qiu Xingyuan pursed his lips when he thought of the marriage plan for their mother, which he and his siblings came up with yesterday.
Wasn’t this the best opportunity?
If a television station helped them to advertise and promote Qiu Tong…
At the thought of this, Qiu Xingyuan took the initiative to hold Qiu Tong’s hand so that the camera could focus on her face. He praised her as if his mouth was coated with honey. “The only reason I can have my current accomplishments is because Mommy has always encouraged me and helped me a lot…”
“Yes! Our mommy is very beautiful and can cook. Her character is also very… gentle! Her children are also very obedient!”
Qiu Xingyu chimed in to promote Qiu Tong. Her face was flushed red and adorable.
She highlighted the important points. “Mommy is single now. We welcome eligible bachelors to contact us! However, you have to go through us first!”
The three children announced Qiu Tong’s availability for marriage in public. Qiu Tong and the reporters were stunned!
This… this was a live interview!
The live broadcast footage spread to several television stations’ afternoon news. Even high-ranking officials in the capital saw it.
The president’s secretary saw the faces of Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao in the news interview. He spat out the hot tea he had just drunk and his face turned pale.
“Why do these children look exactly like the president?!”
“This won’t do… I have to tell the president immediately!”
