You Are a Sweetness I Can’t Quit - Chapter 57

Lin Ci put down her dishcloth and squatted down to talk to Lin Morui. “Ruirui, we are flexible about everything, but you’re so young, you can’t run around on your own. Your parents would be so worried. If you ran into bad people, it’d be horrible. Tell grandma, where do you live? We’ll bring you back, okay?”

“…” The boy stayed silent.

It looks as if he doesn’t want to go home at all.

Knowing a young kid has run away from home made Lin Ci really anxious.

She asked her husband, “think of something, we have to let Ruirui’s family know. Or we can call Weitian. She knows a lot, she’d know what to do.”

The two of them didn’t have much of an education. Their hard-earned money came from menial work.

They thought of their daughter first whenever they needed help.

“Okay, okay, don’t panic. I’m asking her now.” Shen Yixian pulled out his phone and dialed Ji Weitian’s number.

Inside the laboratory building.

Ji Weitian was facing unprecedented challenges.

She rushed to the meeting area early in the morning, excited for the experiment to begin. However, Qin Nanyu didn’t let her go into the lab at all, instead, she was directed to organize files inside the office.

The files weren’t even important, they were just reference books and case studies of similar experiments… all superficial materials.

He said she wasn’t a technical person, and only suited to assistant-level work.

Supposedly he was using everyone for their best talents.

He looked down at her!

Ji Weitian was so angry she almost spat blood. But she had to obey him since he oversaw the entire project.

It was just a project, so what if she wasn’t a part of it?!

She didn’t want to do anything involving the Qin Technology Group ever again!

Ji Weitian spent a lot of time rationalizing to herself, finally convincing herself not to kill Qin Nanyu. She started straightening the files in front of her.

As soon as she started organizing her materials and putting them inside the file cabinet, her phone rang.

Her finger swiped and picked up the call. “Dad.”

“Weitian, are you busy? I hope I’m not bothering you.” Shen Yixian asked cautiously.

Ji Weitian knew her foster parents were always worried about bothering her at work. She put down the files and replied, “It’s fine, I’m not at work. Don’t worry Dad.”

“OK. It’s like this. Your mom and I were at the store… I don’t know how to explain it, but we found a kid about Yaoyao’s age. He supposedly ran away from home. His parents must be so worried. But we don’t know where he lives… what should we do?”

Shen Yixian was a simple man. He was worried and anxious over this, it took him a while to explain the whole thing.

Ji Weitian didn’t hesitate at all in her answer. “Take him to the police station. Ask them to help find his parents. If something happened to him while he’s in your care, you wouldn’t even know what to say.”

If they ran into unreasonable parents like Qin Nanyu, like she did at the airport, who insisted that she was abducting children, it’d be awful.

Go to the police if you need anything! This was a lesson from the jinx.

“If you’re really worried, close the store today, and just look after the kid until his family gets there.”
