Chapter 835: Probing.
Back then, Xiao Chen had only gone to the orphanage after he met Qiao Chengnan.
If it really was Zhou Erze, then his birth experience must have been changed, right?
Shi Caining sipped a mouthful of tea and hurriedly apologized to him. "I'm sorry, I caused you to be sad."
Zhou Erze shook his head lightly and did not mind at all. "It's alright, it's all over now."
"So did dad sponsor you or adopt you? I heard that dad adopted a lot of vagrants and orphans. Why can't I see any of them?" Shi Caining looked at Zhou Erze curiously, like a child who did not know anything.
Zhou Erze pursed his lips and sized her up in a strange manner. "I don't know either. However, some senior brothers and senior sisters won't stay in the Li family when they grow up."
Shi Caining nodded. She did not ask any more questions. If she asked too much, it would make Zhou Erze suspicious.
However, she felt that this Zhou Erze should not be Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's back was very tall, but this man seemed to be a little shorter.
But why did Gu Kuangen still insist on investigating this Zhou Erze? Shi Caining could not explain why, but he definitely had his own reasons for doing so.
No matter what, Shi Caining still hoped that Li Tingshen would take the initiative to return the child to her and not wait for Gu Kuangen's people to snatch it.
After all, taking the initiative and snatching it were two different concepts.
Zhou Erze did not say much. After drinking half a cup of tea, he took his leave. Shi Caining smiled faintly. "Why don't we have dinner here? You're dad's right-hand man as well. He won't mind having dinner with you here."
Zhou Erze shook his head. "There's no need. Thank you, Miss, for your kind intentions!"
Shi Caining pursed her lips and did not force him to stay. She sent him out of the house and looked at his departing car. She could not help but frown.
She returned to the kitchen and continued to work. Suddenly, she remembered that she had not informed Su Ranqing yet, so she called him to inform him.
"Mr. Su, I've thought about it. However, I still want to ask you where you are going to sketch and how long you will be gone for."
"You've thought about it? That would be great. I plan to have four assistants pass through the jungles in the southern part of Xialila, then go to green lake and then to the mouth of the green river. Don't worry, I will bring two female assistants and two male assistants. I will also bring enough things for camping," Su Ranqing said excitedly over the phone.
Shi Caining was stunned. Why was this Su Ranqing like an adventurer?
However, the Sharila Jungle was not considered dangerous. It was just a little big and easy to get lost. Most tourists did not like to go there; green lake and the mouth of the green river were famous scenic spots in Country Z.
"Mr. Su, you seem like an adventurer, not a pianist." Shi Caining was a little surprised. "You really want to travel through those three places on foot instead of going abroad to find a small town with beautiful scenery and settle down for more than ten days? Are you sure?"
In Shi Caining's subconscious mind, Su Ranqing was going to sketch outside. He should be going to some small towns with nice scenery, not walking.
"Caining, you don't know me very well. I still have some risk factors in my bones, but the three places I chose aren't dangerous, right? My life's favorite things are traveling, painting, sketching, and piano. I became a pianist because of my parents' expectations of me. Otherwise, I would have indulged myself and become an adventurer." Su Ranqing felt a little regretful. "I want to write a piece about the relaxed, human, and unique piano music on the journey. That's why I want to walk and experience the mood of the journey."
