“I didn’t kill her. I didn’t!” Bai Yongwei shouted and slammed the glass.

The guard beside her held her down and said, “If you keep behaving so excited, we will take you back to the cell.”

“Mom, Mom, calm down! Pick up the phone and listen to me!” Ji Yan said, trying to calm her down, “Mom, listen to me.”

Bai Yongwei calmed down and then picked up the phone.

“Mom, listen to me. It is clear that Shen Xinglan is behind all of this. He doesn’t want you to get come out. I’ve been collecting evidence. Now all you have to do is take care of yourself. I have paid the people here so they will take care of you.”

The look on Bai Yongwei’s face suddenly became ferocious. With her teeth clenched, she said, “I knew that I should have killed him at the beginning. And now I’ve fallen into such a situation, it’s all because of that son of a b*tch!”

“There’s nothing we can do about him.” Ji Yan thought for a while then said, “But, fortunately, the project at the port is going to start so that we can borrow money from the bank, and I will step up the development company.”

Bai Yongwei said with a sharp twinkle in her eyes, “Yes! As long as our company is still there, you can continue to fight him. But you’d better keep a low profile these days. I’m fine to stay in here. I want you to keep an eye on Ji Xue. I don’t want to see her get into any trouble.”

“Well, don’t worry! She hasn’t been out for a few days.”

Bai Yongwei’s face turned dark. She knew her daughter, so that she knew that her daughter’s reason for not going out was nothing but fear of losing face.

“The Bai family has already spoken to the court,” Ji Yan said with a sneer, “so no matter what the results will be, at least they are helping. I heard that they probably will reduce your sentence but it will take at least two years.”

After this kind of thing happened, no matter how strong her background was, Bai Yongwei still had to stay in prison for two years. After that, the prison might say that she performed well so that they would commute her punishment from life imprisonment to a fixed-term imprisonment. Then they would slowly reduce the years of punishment, and in the end, the person could get out.

“Send some people to keep an eye on Shen Xinglan,” Bai Yongwei said. “We are too careless. He must have been monitoring us, so he knows everything.”

Ji Yan nodded solemnly and said, “I understand that, and I will not give him another chance to harm you.”

After visiting Bai Yongwei, Ji Yan hurried back to the company. The port would start its construction in the next few days. He planned to apply for a loan immediately from the bank.

“This morning, the city’s bay has been visited by a large number of seabirds. It is reported that these seabirds are going to migrate further south, and will stay here for a few days to rest,” the journalist on the news reported.

A Miao smiled and said, “The migratory birds are coming.”

“Your smile is strange,” He Shishi said. And then He Shishi glanced at her and said to Ling Lang, “Surely, she had done some bad things.”

A Miao pointed at the TV and said, “Just keep watching.”

“Sister!” Chu Bai said and went over to Yaya with a big knife in his hand.

Yaya still couldn’t walk steadily now and she was holding the coffee table to move forward.

“Give!” Chu Bai said while sweeping his hand.

Ling Lang had been keeping an eye on them and she immediately reached out to stop her. Unexpectedly, Yaya suddenly moved fast and hit Chu Bai at once.

“Bang!” The big knife hit right on Yaya’s forehead.

“Wah, wah, wah!” Yaya burst out into tears and cried amazingly loud.

Little Chu Bai looked at Yaya, who was crying loudly, and then he was put aside by Ling Lang and his knife was taken away.

“Apologize to your little sister,” Ling Lang said and pushed him up to Yaya.

Yaya was held in A Miao’s arms, and the swelling on her forehead was quite obvious.

“Let me get the first aid kit,” He Shishi said and touched Chu Bai’s little head. “Don’t worry. Blow on your sister’s swelling and then she will stop crying.”

Chu Bai saw Yaya crying in such a sad way while having swelling on her head. He must have gradually realized that it was caused by him, so he burst into tears because of worry.

“What are you crying for?” Ling Lang asked then poked his head. “How dare you cry?”

A Miao stared at her and said, “What are you doing? Chu Bai didn’t mean to do it.”

“Sister… Wah!”

Yaya cried, gasping for breath. He Shishi took the first aid kit and then A Miao applied iodophor to Yaya’s swelling and sprayed it with Yunnan Baiyao.

“Okay, okay! Wait a minute and then it won’t hurt.”

Chu Bai wanted to hold the hand of Yaya, but Yaya still remembered that it was he who had just hit her, so Yaya slapped his hand away.

“Wah…” Chu Bai cried in such a sad way, but he had no idea what to do.

A Miao freed up her other hand to pick him up. She said, “No worries. Our little Chu Bai didn’t mean to. Your little sister will stop crying soon, so our little Chu Bai should stop crying now, okay?”

“Sister… hurt!” Chu Bai said. He was almost two years old and he could already to say a lot of words. He carefully leaned over to Yaya’s face and blew on her forehead.

There were tears in Yaya’s eyes, and she was looking curiously at Chu Bai at this moment.

“Blow Blow! No pain!” Chu Bai said. He was a boy, crawling everywhere all the time. Every time he hit something, Le Yi would do this to him.

So he also did the same to Yaya. He said, “Sister, don’t cry… Ah!”

“Baibai!” Yaya said. She never called him brother, but always called him Baibai…

Chu Bai was so happy! His little sister was finally willing to speak with him.

He stretched out his small hands to hold Yaya’s hand carefully, and this time, Yaya did not slap him away.

“Sister!” Chu Bai said and laughed.

Yaya saw him laughing so she began to laugh as well. She said, “Baibai!”

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.”
