CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 748: DISLOCATED LIVES 36

After confirming the cause, people in the company didn’t dare to speak loudly anymore. It was clear that the child’s mood was low because she was taken away. Everyone at the company liked Shuangshuang, mainly because she was a good person, very polite, and very filial.

No one in the company didn’t know that Shuangshuang tirelessly cooked meals for her parents every day and delivered them, fearing that eating outside food would be unsafe and harm their health. She also prepared a grand feast every week to help her parents entertain guests, an event no senior staff had ever missed.

Furthermore, Shuangshuang was sweet-talking to everyone at the company, from top executives to the janitors, without being arrogant or acting up because her parents were the bosses. She often made delicious snacks to share with everyone at the company.

In summer, she would bring cold drinks, and in winter, warm tea, along with all kinds of delightful snacks. She was especially thoughtful and would lend a helping hand during holidays if someone seemed overwhelmed with work.

The other day, when an employee’s child got a cold and had no appetite, Shuangshuang made porridge for several days in a row for that employee to take home.

Even if Shuangshuang did this to help her parents win people’s hearts, doing it so wholeheartedly couldn’t help but touch everyone, making them eager to work hard for the company.

Not only was Shuangshuang a likable person, but she was also outstanding. Everyone knew that the young boss had already earned more money than most people could in a lifetime. Jianyun and Liu Yun were famously doting parents, always flaunting their beloved child on social media.

Such an excellent, thoughtful, sweet, and filial child who could help her parents suddenly became someone else’s; it was unbearable for anyone.

Not to mention the child exchanged for Shuangshuang fell way short in comparison. It wasn’t prejudice against Fang Zhijin at the company, but ever since she arrived, she appeared close to everyone yet couldn’t hide the arrogance in her eyes, only being truly genuine with the executives.

When you’ve interacted with someone who showed genuine respect, it’s uncomfortable dealing with that hidden arrogance and disdain. People might not say it openly, but gossip inevitably arises in private. No wonder the boss was in a bad mood; they lost a pearl and got a worthless fish in return. Nobody could be happy about that.

In fact, the tense atmosphere at the company wasn’t liked by Jianyun and Liu Yun either. However, they couldn’t find joy as they were too distressed. At home, they tried to pretend to be happy to spare Fang Zhijin’s feelings.

But everywhere at home bore traces of Shuangshuang, making them start to miss her, wondering if she was comfortable at the Fang Family. Without Shuangshuang to talk to at home, things felt dull. They weren’t used to not eating Shuangshuang’s cooking, and without her there, they felt uneasy.

Jianyun and Liu Yun were nearly impulsive, wanting to take their daughter back from the Fang Family, raising both. At most, they would give more money to the Fang Family so the whole family could live comfortably forever. After all, the Fang Family had a son, and with the daughter gone, it was like she had just gone to college early.

They wouldn’t stop their biological daughter from visiting the Fang Family to see her adoptive parents. It would be just like a grown-up daughter leaving home for college and work. This way, both sides could be content, and they wouldn’t have to endure the pain of long-term separation from their daughter.

The more they thought about it, the more they liked the idea. Jianyun and Liu Yun couldn’t help but call each other, and they both agreed without planning it. But before Jianyun and Liu Yun could react, Shuangshuang’s lunch was already delivered.

Getting the lunch Shuangshuang sent from the secretary, along with the lunchbox, there was a beautifully crafted note inviting her parents to visit her new home, saying a driver would pick them up.

Receiving their daughter’s lunch was a pleasant surprise for Jianyun and Liu Yun. But seeing the note left them puzzled. A driver? Where would Shuangshuang get a driver? She wasn’t even old enough to buy a car, and the Fang Family wouldn’t hire a driver or buy a car for a girl under eighteen.

But sure enough, a driver did come in the evening to pick them up. Driving a car worth millions, the chauffeur, dressed in a suit, stood by the car and invited Liu Yun first, then Jianyun. On the way, they asked the driver and learned that the house, the car, and even the driver himself were provided by Chengfeng Wanli Company.

After getting an explanation, Jianyun and Liu Yun didn’t think much about whether Zhu Wanpeng had any ill intentions because this was quite normal. It was a common practice for companies to offer incentives to retain high-end talent and avoid losing them to competitors.

In fact, if their company had a talented technician like their daughter, on whom the whole game’s upgrade and operation depended, they would offer everything possible to keep this cash cow, let alone just a car, a driver, and an apartment.

Shuangshuang’s residence was in a high-end complex with large green spaces. Half of the area was occupied by high-rises and half by intricately designed duplexes, which were more expensive than the high-rises.

The community had excellent security measures with many guards at the entrance. Entry required an access card, and there were security patrols day and night to eliminate any safety hazards.

The duplex where Shuangshuang lived was about 700-800 square meters with an artificial pool on the rooftop, located in the city, making it even better than a villa. Zhu Wanpeng had indeed made great efforts to please Shuangshuang.

When Jianyun and Liu Yun arrived, Shuangshuang had already prepared a table of food. Seeing Jianyun and Liu Yun enter, she warmly welcomed them immediately.

"Mom, Dad, you’re finally here. I’ve just finished cooking, and it’s just the right time to eat. After eating, you can check out my place. Is it enough for you to stay? If you like it, you can stay anytime. It’s too spacious living here alone, not comfortable at all."

Shuangshuang’s demeanor was so natural, as if she had never left, still the same as when the family lived together. It made Jianyun and Liu Yun’s noses tingle with emotion. Although Shuangshuang had only been gone for a day, it felt like she had been gone for a long time in their hearts.

They never expected that when their daughter said she’d buy a house to take care of them, just one day later she had already gotten a house intending to take care of them, making it like she never left their side. This made Jianyun and Liu Yun very happy.

Although they were glad their daughter was still nearby, Jianyun and Liu Yun sat down and asked Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, why aren’t you living with your biological parents and instead are living outside alone?"

"Shuangshuang, did the Fang Family mistreat you? You have such a good temperament, you’d never be impulsive with others. Surely, someone bullied you!" Jianyun’s earlier question was more gentle and tactful.
