Then she read out her name: "Cheng Ran".
Clearly, Cheng Ran also saw her.
He just didn't get out of the car, and seemed unwilling to talk to her.
But not long after, Liang Shi saw Qi Jiao run out. She was about to go up and intercept her when she saw Qi Jiao run towards the blue sports car.
Liang Shi: "..."
Could Cheng Ran be involved in that incident?
Chapter 46
As usual, Rainbow waited at the door but her parents didn't come, leaving her alone; she was already used to it.
However, while she was standing there waiting for Teacher Qi Jiao, she saw Sister Liang Shi.
She wanted to raise her arm and call out to Sister Liang Shi, but the moment she raised her arm, she remembered that Sister Liang Shi's niece attended the same kindergarten as her.
Rainbow thought, "They probably didn't come to pick her up."
Rainbow felt a pang of disappointment, but awkwardly lowered her hand.
She carried a pink Mickey Mouse backpack, looked at the kindergarten that had suddenly become empty, glanced down at her smartwatch, then pretended not to care, put her hands in her pockets, and put her face expressionless.
The teacher from the next class glanced at her and said gently, "Rainbow, is no one coming to pick you up again today?"
“My mom will be here soon,” Rainbow said.
The teacher nodded, "Then wait a little longer."
After saying that, he left.
But Rainbow's senses were stronger than most people's, and she heard the two departing teachers whispering to each other.
"How did Rainbow get into our school? I heard that her mother is just a low-level employee."
"I don't know either, maybe it's because they're smart? Rainbow is the smartest kid in our kindergarten."
"The kids here have been studying since they were born, so how could they not be smart? One of the kids in my class can already recite 300 ancient poems by heart."
“Rainbow is different from others in terms of intelligence. Her overall strength is very strong. Last time I saw her at Qi Jiao's place, she was already doing junior high school physics problems.”
"Holy crap? Really? This guy's a genius!"
"Yes. But she was the only one left behind in the whole kindergarten, the child must be very hurt."
"Isn't Qi Jiao taking care of you? Oh right, Qi Jiao's girlfriend seems to be very rich."
"What's so strange about that? Qi Jiao is already very rich. The bags she carries are all worth over 50,000 yuan."
"Could it be that it was a gift from her rich girlfriend? That sports car is called Sea of Stars, and it costs over three million."
"..."
The two teachers' voices gradually faded away, and Rainbow lowered her head and kicked a pebble on the ground.
She raised her arm and pressed the area code of an international number, but deleted it all when she got to the third digit.
You can't dial this number, it will make Mom sad.
Rainbow sighed and kicked the lone pebble away. The pebble rolled a few times on the ground before being kicked back by someone else.
"Why are you sighing at such a young age?" Liang Shi stopped in front of her, couldn't help but ruffle her hair, and then squatted down. "What's bothering our little Rainbow? Why don't you tell me?"
Rainbow's eyes lit up when she saw Liang Shi, and the corners of her mouth turned up, but she quickly suppressed it and pretended to be calm. "Sister Liang Shi, are you here to see your niece? Her class has already let out for the day."
Liang Shi looked at her and chuckled, "No, I came to pick you up."
No matter how hard a child tries to act, they can't pretend to be an adult.
Undeniably, Rainbow is much smarter than other children, but at heart he is still a child.
They are even more insecure and lack love than other children.
"Huh?" Rainbow tilted her head in surprise. "Are you guys off work?"
"No, no." Liang Shi paused for a moment, then decided to tell a white lie. "I missed you. I just finished my work, so I came to pick you up from school. I'll take you out for something delicious later, okay?"
“And what about my mom?” Rainbow asked.
Liang Shi rubbed her head again, "Of course she's still at work, fighting for Rainbow."
Rainbow tugged at her backpack strap. "Okay."
Liang Shi asked her, "Is your schoolbag heavy? Do you need me to help you carry it?"
Rainbow shook her head. "I can do it myself."
Liang Shi glanced at Qi Jiao and Cheng Ran not far away. The two were sitting in a sports car, seemingly discussing something. It seemed their conversation had broken down. Qi Jiao turned her face away and was about to get out of the car when Cheng Ran immediately put her arm around her waist and gently coaxed her in a low voice.
They look like they're in a relationship.
However, based on Liang Shi's understanding of the plot and characters, Cheng Ran would not be the kind of person who would give up the entire garden for a single flower.
However, the possibility of a marriage alliance between the Cheng and Qi families cannot be ruled out.
She had just asked two people to get accurate information.
One is Liang Xinhe, and the other is Zhao Xuning.
Everyone says they haven't received any word yet.
Liang Xinhe's answer was fairly standard, but Zhao Xuning was a bit more agitated, saying sarcastically, "You're still in contact with Cheng Ran? Tsk."
Liang Shi: [I just happened to run into him; he was checking something.]
Zhao Xuning: [Don't forget what happened back then.]
Liang Shi: [I haven't forgotten. I'll make her give me an explanation.]
Zhao Xuning: [That would be best.]
Liang Shi sent her a meme of someone looking up at the sky and sighing.
Liang Shi provided the direction for the Huayue International incident, and Zhao Xuning used his connections to investigate it thoroughly.
Bai Weiwei had arranged to meet the director there, but Cheng Ran happened to see them. Cheng Ran then used the power of Huaguang Group to pressure the director, instigating him to use Bai Weiwei's phone to arrange a meeting with Xu Qingzhu.
They even specially changed their private room for them.
Bai Weiwei had originally booked a private room on the seventh floor and did not intend to stay for that long.
It was the director who took Cheng Ran's instructions and insisted on dragging it out until ten o'clock.
Even if you find out the truth, it won't do you any good. Cheng Ran disappeared from the entertainment industry for a while.
It's almost impossible to find this person.
I never expected to run into you here.
However, Liang Shi didn't intend to settle scores with her about that day. He came today mainly to find out about Mrs. Qi's situation from Qi Jiao.
She can't truly sever ties with the Liang family until she gets to the bottom of things.
She wanted to know when she had come into this world.
Even if one can survive in this world by suppressing their curiosity, it will always be a knot in their heart.
The knot in your heart must be untied, otherwise it will remain a knot for a lifetime.
Although Liang Shih was a Buddhist, he never shied away from problems.
Qi Jiao and Cheng Ran were still chatting inside the sports car, which made Rainbow curious, "Is that person Teacher Qi's girlfriend? Why does she look so fierce?"
Liang Shi turned her body away, saying, "Little girl, don't look."
Rainbow asked sincerely, "Wouldn't it have been prevented if I hadn't looked at it?"
Liang Shi: "..."
This question stumped Liang Shi.
Rainbow once again displayed her genius intelligence: "They will still argue. The traffickers won't stop kidnapping me just because I don't watch, and bad people won't stop hurting me just because I don't watch. Those harms are objective realities, and I will face them sooner or later, so why run away?"
Liang Shi: "...?"
She never imagined that one day she would be discussing this kind of issue with a five-year-old girl.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's to protect you."
"Shouldn't protecting me mean letting me see, hear, and learn more?" Rainbow shook her head to herself. "You adults are so strange."
Liang Shi: "..."
Hey!
You're the weird one!
“It’s because your body and mind are not mature yet. Watching people argue doesn’t do you any good.” Liang Shi patiently explained to her, “From the perspective of human development, children your age need to grow up in an atmosphere of love and warmth, which is beneficial to shaping your values.”
After she finished speaking, she paused, wondering if she had spoken too profoundly. Would a child understand what values were?
Unexpectedly, Rainbow frowned and said in confusion, "Without a loving and warm atmosphere, can't children develop correct values?"
Liang Shi: "..."
It must be said that Rainbow has a very unique perspective on issues.
It has a strong flavor of dialectical materialism.
So Liang Shi started talking to her about probability. She talked for a long time, and Rainbow nodded as if she understood, "I think I understand, but I still think it's not good to keep children from knowing anything."
Liang Shi: "..."
This is probably what they mean by "I understand, but I don't accept it"?
Rainbow continued, "It's like how bad guys prefer to prey on children who don't know anything. If children knew more, they would be more cautious and would understand that there are both good and bad people in the world, instead of assuming that everyone is good."
Some people in my class even think that police officers and doctors are bad people because when they misbehave, their parents say they'll have the police take them away or the doctor give them injections, so I think…”
She paused, then looked at Liang Shi, "It seems that your adult education methods are all a bit problematic."
After saying that, she reached out and patted Liang Shi on the shoulder, "Sister Liang Shi, I didn't mean to attack you."
