Beibei woke up to find that her father was no longer there. However, the jewelry he had sent was already delivered and lay on the table in her mother's room.
Looking at the jewelry on the table, Beibei turned to her mother and asked, "Mom, what should we do with these pieces?"
Liu Yuan looked at her child and replied, "These pieces are a gift from your father, so it's up to you."
After thinking for a moment, Beibei said, "Then let's give them to Mom!"
Liu Yuan was taken aback. "Why?"
Beibei hugged her mother tightly. "Because these pieces are so beautiful, I want Mom to be even prettier."
Touched by her child's heartfelt gesture, Liu Yuan squatted down and gently patted Beibei's head. "Good girl, Mom is already grown up and doesn't need these pieces. You should keep them for yourself!"
Beibei looked at her mother. "Mom, don't you want these pieces?"
Liu Yuan shook her head. "Mom doesn't want them; you keep them. You can wear them on special occasions."
Beibei tilted her head in confusion. "What are special occasions?"
Liu Yuan thought for a moment. "For example, attending weddings, banquets, or dances."
Beibei nodded slowly as if she understood. "Then why don't you put these pieces away, Mom?"
Liu Yuan smiled. "Because I think these pieces are too precious to just be stored away."
Beibei looked at her mother seriously. "Mom, if you don't wear them, they won't be worth anything."
Liu Yuan couldn't help but laugh at her child's innocent words. "You little rascal, you're quite clever for your age."
Beibei insisted, "I'm serious! If you don't wear them, they won't be worth anything."
Liu Yuan nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to you and put these pieces away."
Beibei clapped her hands in delight. "Yay! If Mom puts these pieces away, she can become even prettier!"
Liu Yuan chuckled and playfully pinched Beibei's nose. "You little rascal."
Beibei looked at her mother with curiosity. "Mom, when can I go to kindergarten?"
Liu Yuan thought for a moment before answering, "When you turn six years old."
Beibei's eyes widened with excitement. "So when will I be six?"
Liu Yuan looked at her child and replied, "In six months, you'll be six years old."
Beibei continued to inquire eagerly, "So when I'm six, can I go to kindergarten?"
Liu Yuan nodded affirmatively. "Yes."
Beibei's enthusiasm grew as she asked again, "When I'm six, will I get to meet lots of friends?"
Liu Yuan nodded again. "Yes."
Beibei's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she asked one last time, "When I'm six, will I get to play with lots of fun things?"
Liu Yuan smiled and nodded once more. "Yes."
Beibei looked at her mother and asked, "Now that I'm six years old, can I learn a lot of things?"
Liu Yuan nodded, "Yes."
Beibei continued, "Now that I'm six years old, can I help Mom with housework?"
Liu Yuan looked at her child and replied, "You're still young. You don't need to do housework. Just focus on studying well and growing up happily."
Beibei smiled at her mother, "I understand, Mom."
Liu Yuan then said, "By the way, Beibei, Mom plans to send you to kindergarten."
Beibei's eyes brightened, "Is it the kindergarten Dad mentioned?"
Liu Yuan shook her head, "No, Mom wants to personally choose a kindergarten for you."
Beibei asked curiously, "Why do you want to choose the kindergarten yourself?"
Liu Yuan replied, "Because Mom wants to give you the best education."
Beibei looked at her mother with trust, "Mom, I believe in you. You will definitely give me the best education."
Liu Yuan smiled gently, "Thank you, my child."
Beibei said sweetly, "Mom, I love you."
Liu Yuan smiled back, "Mom loves you too."
Beibei then asked, "Mom, can you sleep with me tonight?"
Liu Yuan chuckled, "Of course. Mom will sleep with you tonight."
Beibei beamed, "Thank you, Mom."
Liu Yuan affectionately patted her child's head and said, "You're welcome."
That night, Liu Yuan lay in bed with Beibei beside her.
Beibei looked at her mother and said, "Mom, tell me a story!"
Liu Yuan responded warmly, "Sure! What story do you want to hear?"
After thinking for a moment, Beibei replied, "I want to hear the story of Cinderella."
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, let me tell you the story of Cinderella."
Beibei nodded eagerly.
Liu Yuan began, "Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. Her mother had passed away and her father remarried a woman who had two daughters. They treated Cinderella very poorly..."
As Liu Yuan narrated the story, Beibei gradually fell asleep. Liu Yuan gazed at her child's peaceful face and smiled softly, “Goodnight, my child.”
Meanwhile, Chen Yan was busy working in Beishi. During his breaks, he often thought of Liu Yuan and Beibei and wondered what they were doing. Just as he was lost in these pleasant thoughts, a phone call came in.
It was his mother.
He immediately answered, "Mom, what's wrong?"
His mother's anxious voice came through, "Chen Yan, something happened to Zhang Wen!"
Chen Yan's heart sank. "What happened?"
His mother urged, "She’s being blackmailed, and now we don’t know where she is. You need to come back quickly!"
Furrowing his brows, Chen Yan stood up. "Mom, don’t worry. I’ll head back right now."
He booked the next available flight back to Beishi and, upon landing, rushed straight to Zhang Wen's house.
When he arrived at her doorstep, he knocked on the door.
After a moment, the door opened.
Chen Yan looked at Zhang Wen; her face was pale and she appeared exhausted.
He frowned. "Zhang Wen, what’s wrong?"
Zhang Wen looked at him and tears streamed down her face.
Seeing this, Chen Yan quickly stepped inside and closed the door. "Zhang Wen, stop crying for a moment and tell me what happened."
Through her sobs, Zhang Wen said, "Cousin, I’ve been blackmailed."
Chen Yan stared at her. "Who did it?"
Zhang Wen shook her head while crying. "I don’t know."
"Did you report it to the police?" he asked.
She shook her head again. "No."
"Why didn’t you report it?" he pressed.
Lowering her head, she replied, "I’m too scared to go to the police."
"Why are you scared?" Chen Yan asked.
Looking up at him with teary eyes, she said, "Because that person has my embarrassing photos."
Chen Yan was taken aback. "Embarrassing photos?"
Zhang Wen nodded. "Yes."
"Where did those photos come from?" he inquired.
She lowered her head again. "I took them before."
Chen Yan was at a loss for words.
Zhang Wen looked at him pleadingly. "Cousin, what should I do?"
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Chen Yan said, "Don’t panic for now. Did that person say when you need to send him the money?"
Zhang Wen looked at him with worry. "He said by tomorrow noon at the latest."
Chen Yan nodded, "Alright, you need to call the police right now."
Zhang Wen looked at him, "But..."
Chen Yan fixed his gaze on her, "No buts. You have to report it."
Seeing Chen Yan's determined expression, Zhang Wen finally gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll call the police."
At the police station.
Zhang Wen reported the case, and after the officers recorded the details, they immediately opened an investigation.
Chen Yan addressed the officer, "Officer, my sister is in danger. I hope you can catch that extortionist as soon as possible."
The officer looked at Chen Yan and reassured him, "Don't worry. We will solve this case quickly and ensure your sister's safety."
Chen Yan nodded, "Thank you."
The officer continued, "However, we need your sister to cooperate with our investigation."
Chen Yan turned to Zhang Wen, "Zhang Wen, you need to cooperate with the police."
Zhang Wen nodded, "Okay."
Chen Yan asked the officer, "Officer, can I take my sister home now?"
The officer nodded, "Yes."
Chen Yan turned to Zhang Wen, "Zhang Wen, let's go!"
Zhang Wen looked at Chen Yan and said, "Cousin, I'm scared."
Chen Yan comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'll be with you."
Zhang Wen nodded softly, "Mm."
---
A day later, the case was solved.
The extortionist had been caught; his name was Zhao Bin and he was Zhang Wen's ex-boyfriend.
Zhao Bin had been harassing Zhang Wen. When she could no longer tolerate it and decided to break up with him, he held a grudge and posted her private photos online.
Upon learning about this situation, Chen Yan immediately went to confront Zhao Bin.
He brought Zhao Bin directly in front of Zhang Wen.
He looked at Zhang Wen and said, "Zhang Wen, you talk to him."
Zhang Wen faced Zhao Bin and said firmly, "Zhao Bin, I've already given you the money. Why are you still doing this?"
Zhao Bin glared at Zhang Wen. "Zhang Wen, I loved you so much and sacrificed so much for you. How dare you break up with me?"
Zhang Wen replied calmly, "Zhao Bin, I appreciate what you've done for me in the past, but your love is too heavy for me to bear."
Zhao Bin shot back angrily, "Zhang Wen, let me tell you this: if you want me to delete those photos, you have to get back together with me!"
Zhang Wen looked at Zhao Bin sternly. "Zhao Bin, don't go too far."
Zhao Bin looked at Zhang Wen and said, "What's wrong with being excessive? If you don't want these photos to be seen by more people, you'd better listen to me!"
Zhang Wen shot back, "Dream on!"
Zhao Bin continued, "Zhang Wen, let me tell you, if you dare not to listen to me, I'll send these photos to your relatives and friends. Let's see how you face them then!"
Zhang Wen was at a loss for words.
Chen Yan stepped in front of Zhang Wen, coldly staring at Zhao Bin. "Are you really going to do that?"
Zhao Bin glanced at Chen Yan. "Who do you think you are?"
Chen Yan replied, "I'm Zhang Wen's cousin."
Zhao Bin sneered, "Cousin? You want to stand up for her?"
Chen Yan retorted, "Zhang Wen has already given you two hundred thousand. What more do you want?"
Zhao Bin said firmly, "I want her back."
Chen Yan shot back, "You're dreaming."
Zhao Bin glared at him. "Kid, do you dare oppose me?"
Chen Yan met his gaze. "I'm not opposing you; I just want to tell you that Zhang Wen has already given you two hundred thousand. You should be satisfied."
Zhao Bin warned him, "I advise you not to meddle in my business."
Chen Yan replied, "I'm not meddling; I just can't stand scum like you."
Zhao Bin's anger flared. "Kid, you're asking for it!"
Chen Yan remained calm. "If you don't want to end up in jail, you'd better delete those photos."
Zhao Bin challenged him, "Are you threatening me?"
Chen Yan responded coolly, "I'm not threatening you; I'm just reminding you."
Zhao Bin repeated himself, "Kid, I’ll say it again: don’t meddle in my affairs!"
Chen Yan reiterated, "I'll say it again: delete the photos now."
Zhao Bin glared at Chen Yan with fury. "I’ll kill you!"
With that, Zhao Bin lunged at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan easily dodged. "Are you sure you want to fight?"
Zhao Bin snapped back, "Stop talking nonsense!"
As he attacked again, Chen Yan evaded once more. "You’re forcing my hand."
With that, Chen Yan began to counterattack.
Zhang Wen watched anxiously from the side as the tension escalated.
After a while, both men finally stopped fighting.
Chen Yan looked at Zhao Bin. "You lost."
Zhao Bin lay on the ground, clutching his chest. "You..."
Chen Yan stared at him. "I'll give you one last chance to delete the photos."
Zhao Bin glared back. "What can you do if I don't?"
Chen Yan replied, "If you don't delete them, just wait to go to jail!"
Zhao Bin looked at him in disbelief. "You..."
Chen Yan continued, "I'm going to count to three. If you don't delete them, I'll send you to prison."
Zhao Bin's eyes widened. "You..."
Chen Yan began counting. "One, two, three."
Zhao Bin looked at Chen Yan. "Fine, I'll delete them."
Chen Yan insisted, "Do it now."
Zhao Bin took out his phone and deleted all the photos right in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan watched him closely. "This time I'll let it go, but if you ever pull something like this again, I won't be so forgiving."
Zhao Bin nodded. "I understand."
Chen Yan dismissed him with a wave. "Get lost!"
Zhao Bin scrambled to his feet and left in a hurry.
Zhang Wen looked at Chen Yan. "Cousin, thank you."
Chen Yan replied, "No need to thank me. Just don't associate with people like that anymore."
Zhang Wen nodded. "I understand."
---
Two days later, Chen Yan flew abroad again.
He spent half a month there, busy with work.
After wrapping up his tasks, he prepared to return home.
At that moment, he received a voice message from Liu Yuan.
He immediately opened it and heard Beibei's voice.
"Daddy, when are you coming to see me?"
Chen Yan's heart softened instantly.
