Tan Zhan's fees are too high, so chartering a car would be a real burden for them.
Tan Zhan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he seemed somewhat out of sorts. His eyes were fixed on one direction, and the suppressed emotion in them was inexplicably unsettling.
"Seven Treasures, come here."
His voice was somewhat hoarse, and his deep eyes, which looked like those of mixed race, seemed a little red.
Yu An frowned.
He instinctively said, "What are you talking about? We don't have any sevens here—"
Before Qibao could even utter the word "bao," Yu'an suddenly realized something.
He was dumbfounded: "The 'treasure' you're talking about, is it my seventh child?!"
He turned around and looked at Qi Zai, who was trying his best to hide behind Xie Chiyuan. There was nothing he didn't understand.
"Seventh Child?"
Yu An was still a little incredulous. He called out to Qi Zai, "This... is the dog of a man you were talking about?"
The moment the words "dog man" were uttered, Qi Zai trembled, while Tan Zhan's eyelids twitched.
"Brother, I don't know him well."
Seven Kids never expected that even after he threw away all the tracking devices, the other party would still be able to find him.
This is absolutely absurd!
Seven Cub huddled in the back, refusing to come out no matter what. He tugged at Xie Chiyuan's clothes and urged, "Aren't we still going to look for someone? Let's hurry up, or they'll all have run away."
Yu An's eyes held a complex expression.
He glanced at Tan Zhan, then at his own son. In the end, emotion triumphed over reason, and his scales tipped in favor of his son.
“Mr. Tan, I am Qi, Qi Zai’s older brother.”
"Our little one doesn't really want to see you right now, you see—"
"Big brother."
Without a second thought, Tan Zhan exclaimed, "I've been looking for Qibao for a long time. No matter what you say, I won't leave."
His older brother called out calmly and naturally, which infuriated Qi Zai.
"Get in my car."
Tan Zhan offered, "Besides the RV, I have several other vehicles parked nearby. You can choose whichever you like."
Yu An: "..."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Yu An couldn't help but ask, "Does it cost money?"
Tan Zhan: "..."
Tan Zhan's expression froze.
He cleared his throat and said, "No."
If he had known about Yu An and Xie Chiyuan's other identities earlier, he wouldn't have accepted a single penny of the money. Doing business with family members is just too unlucky.
Tan Zhan offered to provide a car, and although Yu An was tempted, she still thought of her son and decided not to ride in it.
The group remained locked in a stalemate.
Seven realized that his sister-in-law was unwilling to fight for him, so he poked his head out and said angrily, "Go away, my brother and I have things to do, don't bother me."
Qi Zai spoke bluntly, but Tan Zhan made it clear that he wasn't going to leave.
Even in front of his elder brother, Qi Zai can't unleash his full power when he's cursing.
Time passed little by little.
Seeing that they were going to be delayed any longer, Qi Zai gritted his teeth and compromised: "Big brother, let's ride in his car. It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. His car is quite comfortable."
Yu An had no objection to what kind of car they rode in.
He didn't want his little one to suffer, but Seven had already realized that now was not the time for him to deal with the trouble.
"I'll ride in his car."
Qi Zai walked out from behind Xie Chiyuan, angrily calling out to Xie Chiyuan, "Xie Chiyuan, let's go."
Just a moment ago, she kept calling me "sister-in-law," but now she's calling me "Xie Chiyuan" all the time.
It has to be said that the fickle young man's ability to change his tune is still top-notch.
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow and took Yu An to hitch a ride.
Tiger cubs aren't used to riding in cars, and their speed is already comparable to any vehicle.
Wu Zai led the way, with the driver following behind. The atmosphere inside the car was strangely awkward. Qi Zai clung to Yu An's back, while Xie Chiyuan talked to Tan Zhan.
"You have quite a lot of stuff in your car."
Xie Chiyuan watched as he skillfully laid out the fresh fruits and snacks from the refrigerator, and then took out a milk tea from a certain cabinet, and teased, "We've ridden in your car several times, and we still haven't noticed these."
Tan Zhan laid out the food and drinks in front of him: "Try them."
Xie Chiyuan hadn't even eaten yet when Qi Zai had already taken a plate and handed it to his older brother: "Big brother, this is finger lime, it's very nutritious, you should try it."
Seven of the cubs were already at Yu An's lips, and Yu An opened her mouth and ate one.
It's sweet and sour, and tastes really good.
Yu An was eating fruit with his head down when, without realizing it, Tan Zhan moved closer. He looked at Qi Zai and said in a low voice, "You've lost weight. Did you not eat properly while you were out?"
Seven didn't say a word.
Before he ran away, he was actually portraying himself as a delicate and innocent girl.
But as he continued running, his public image crumbled.
"I've ordered the latest game console, and the clothes you ordered last time are ready too. Do you want to go take a look?"
Although Tan Zhan deliberately lowered his voice, none of the people present were hard of hearing. His voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
Xie Chiyuan watched silently as he displayed his financial power.
Money proved useful; after a brief struggle, Qi Zai stood up. He stubbornly said, "Big brother, I'll just take a look and be right back."
"good."
Yu An had previously learned from Xie Chiyuan's reminder that his seventh son was a pampered child. But through observing him over the past two days, he discovered that his pampered child was also a lazy, carefree child who enjoyed life to the fullest.
Obviously, to turn a lazy bum into a rich bum, someone has to put in the effort.
My poor older brother can't do this...
The man who makes money off his older brother seems to be taking on this responsibility.
Qi Zai followed Tan Zhan to the small room that had been partitioned off in the RV. Yu An looked at Xie Chiyuan and then lay down in Xie Chiyuan's arms.
"It seems that Seven's relationship with Tan Zhan isn't as bad as it seems."
"I figured it out a long time ago."
Xie Chiyuan glanced at the door of the small room, then casually played with Yu An's fingers, saying, "Never mind them. It seems our precious little darling will be taken care of from now on."
He glanced at the items Tan Zhan had just taken out. It was just a bottle of mineral water with an angel wings logo, yet it cost over two thousand yuan.
Such a rich and privileged boy should be married off as soon as possible.
Qi Zai's troubles escalated into a minor family conflict, and Yu An and Xie Chiyuan's attention was entirely focused on Ying Jian.
“We should have arrested Ying Jian the moment we first saw him,” Yu An said regretfully. “We shouldn’t have lingered around him for so long.”
If they had apprehended Ying Jian sooner, they might have been able to find out Song Jun and his group's location sooner.
If Song Jun and the others had received treatment sooner, their condition might have improved.
Yu An had considered too many possibilities, and Xie Chiyuan gently instructed him: "What has happened cannot be changed, An'an, we just need to look forward."
Yu An: "..."
When Yu An heard this, for some inexplicable reason, he suddenly asked, "Can't things that have already happened be changed?"
"cannot."
Xie Chiyuan replied, "Because people can't go back to the past."
Yu An was taken aback.
Xie Chiyuan continued to instill in him the idea of looking forward: "No one can go back to the past, but we can look forward to the future. An'an, are you listening to me?"
Xie Chiyuan personally cooked chicken soup for his baby, and he thought he had made the chicken soup fragrant and rich, but Yu An didn't seem to like drinking chicken soup.
A while later.
Seventh Brother, dressed in a completely new outfit, appeared before his elder brother, gleaming with gold. His hair was a little messy, and his lips were slightly swollen.
But her complexion is very good.
Xie Chiyuan raised an eyebrow, looked at Tan Zhan behind Qi Zai, and his eyes clearly said, "Not bad, bro."
In such a short time, it seems they've gotten quite a bit of a bargain.
Tan Zhan responded with a reserved expression.
It doesn't matter if he's good or bad; he just performed normally.
Despite the little incident involving Seven, it didn't affect the car's speed.
I don't know how much time passed.
The tiger cub leading the way suddenly stopped, and the driver, seeing this, also stopped.
"arrive."
Yu An was the first to step forward. He glanced back at Tan Zhan, hesitated for a moment, and then changed his form of address: "How about I just call you by your name?"
Given the ambiguous relationship between Tan Zhan and their seventh son, it sounds really strange that he calls him Mr. Tan.
"Can."
Tan Zhan's demeanor was no longer as aloof as before. He politely said, "Big brother, you can call me Xiao Tan."
"Xiao Tan" sounds too disrespectful to his generation. After thinking for a moment, Yu An called out, "Tan Zhan."
