Chapter 282 - The Swelling on Yayas Head (2/2)

He Shishi shook her head and said, “It is so lively having two lovely babies at home.”

“Okay, go play with your brother!” A Miao put the two little ones on the floor.

Chu Bai took the small hand of Yaya and waddled on the game mat.

“Don’t always be so fierce to Chu Bai,” A Miao said. Seeing that the two children were fine, she stared at Ling Lang and said, “It is inevitable that the kids will get hit somewhere when they are playing. You are too strict with him.”

Ling Lang took a sip of water and said, “You don’t know. This is not the first time for him. I’ve told him so many times that he should not swing a toy knife, but he just doesn’t remember my words. This time, I guess at least he will remember my words.”

“Okay, the children are all right, why are you two still entangled?” He Shishi said, turning the subject back, “If I remember correctly, this place where the migratory birds are headed is also the area for the new port that the government wants to develop.”

The news was still reporting on this issue. Many residents raised banners to protest against the development of the new port, asking the government not to develop the port but reserve it for a home for birds.

“Now we have something interesting to see.” Even Ling Lang burst out into laughter. She said, “Le Yi told me that the Bai family had spent a lot of money on the bid, and they had already booked the building materials. They also found an engineering team.”

With schadenfreude thinking of the Bai family, A Miao said, “This time they will lose a lot.”

“It must be your Director Shen!” He Shishi said with disdain. “How many bad things did you do secretly?”

A Miao laughed, not answering He Shishi’s question. But she still had some doubts in her heart concerning one issue. At night, when Shen Xinglan came back, he received a warm welcome again.

“What happened to Yaya’s head?” Shen Xinglan asked. He saw the swelling on his daughter’s head at first glance.

“Papa… Ahh!” Yaya said and fluttered into his arms, and then she kept pointing to her head, quite effeminately.

A Miao said quickly, “She wants you to blow on her swelling!”

“Huh!” Shen Xinglan blew several times on the swelling. He asked, “Yaya, tell me. Who made the swelling on the head?”

Yaya tilted her head and thought for a while. She said, “Baibai… Ah! Ah!”

“Chu Bai?”

A Miao pulled him close and said, “Yaya was accidentally hit when they were playing together. Your daughter cried so fiercely in the afternoon and scared Chu Bai.”

“This is the first time for her to get hurt. She must be afraid herself,” Shen Xinglan kissed the corner of A Miao’s mouth and then kissed Yaya.

Yaya saw that both she and Mama were kissed, then she lay in the arms of Papa with satisfaction.

“Today’s news said that many people protested against building the new port,” A Miao said and helped Shen Xinglan to take off his suit. “I guess they can’t build it?”

Shen Xinglan rolled up his sleeves. He held A Miao with one hand and Yaya in his arms as he walked to the dining room. He said, “If it’s fast enough, the results will come out this week.”

“After that? What should we do?” A Miao asked. She recalled that Shen Xinglan once said that the rights to develop this port was something that the Shen family had to have.

“Undoubtedly, we will take this opportunity to take over the project. I am sure the government dares not to suppress the price.”

The government had spent a lot of money on the surrounding construction, and this new port would be the landmark building of S City after it was built, with the highest lighthouse in Asia, also providing visits and bungee jumping.

“No leader would give up such opportunity,” Shen Xinglan said, putting Yaya into her child’s table and then helping A Miao pull out a chair. “As long as we can get the port to operate smoothly without affecting the migratory birds, they will pay a high price.”

“Do you have a way?” A Miao said as she gave Yaya a bib, “Those are birds. They don’t understand what you are doing, you…” She suddenly stopped, and then looked at Shen Xinglan.

“Oh! Yes, they don’t understand us, but some people know them!”

Wei Meng was called back by Shen Xinglan in this way. To be exact, Shen Xinglan called back Ding V, and Wei Meng volunteered to follow him back.

“Aren’t you going to Africa?” A Miao said and looked at the large stones on the table, “Why did you guys go to Mian City?”

Mian City, close to Yunnan Province, was a small town on the west side of Country Hua. Known for its rich jadeite, there were a large number of people that went there for gambling stones every year. Just as famous as the stone gambling were the drugs there.

“Remember Xu Shiguang?” Wei Meng asked. She was picking stones on the ground. “He called us there.”

A Miao was excited about hearing this. She asked, “Is it about vermin? Is there any new progress?”

“I don’t know yet,” Wei Meng said as she clapped her hands. “But he is still there, and I will inform you when there is a result.”

A Miao was somewhat disappointed. Shen Xinglan held her shoulders and said, “I provide Master Xu with material and human resources, and I’m not short of money. He is obsessed with it, and once there is a glimmer of hope, he will keep studying.”

“Well, I know!” A Miao said and brushed against his shoulder. “It’s nothing. Just suddenly it comes to me and makes me feel sad.”

Yaya yelled in her arms and stretched her small hands to get those stones.

“This is for Yaya,” Wei Meng said and put a piece of stone the size of a table tennis ball into the hands of Yaya. “There is jade inside.”

A Miao looked at her with doubt and said, “How do you know?”

“A guess.”

“…”

When they went to work on Monday, the government publicly assured the public that they would not affect the migration of the migratory birds. The port would be built after choosing another place or finding a solution so that everyone could rest assured.

“We will lose a lot of money if you do this!” Ji Yan said, shouting on the other end of the phone. “So much money has been spent already, now you say that you are not going to build it?”

It was unclear what the person on the other side of the phone had said, but Ji Yan threw the phone down angrily.

“Brother, what did they say?” Ji Xue asked. She was even more anxious than him. If they had no money, how could she buy to buy luxury bags and cosmetics…

“They said that selling the project would be the only choice and they’d see if anyone can think of a way to take it over.”
