He didn't continue the topic, but showed him the program's discussions. Although there was criticism, it was generally positive. He also brought over the next script from the director.
"I didn't realize you were so busy. Take a good look, and I'll go wander around the vegetable shed." Lu Fei handed the file to Liu Yifeng and left, not wanting to disturb him further.
Liu Yifeng became engrossed in the document, only realizing the time when Tongtong called him at seven in the evening.
"Sorry, my darling. Papa is busy with files and will be home soon. You and Grandpa eat first, Papa will eat when he gets home."
It was still a distance home, so he didn't want them to wait and go hungry.
Little did he know, as soon as he stepped out, Sister Jin was waiting for him at the company building, just like before.
"I said, her affairs have nothing to do with me." He had intended to pretend not to see her and leave, but unfortunately, she saw him.
Sister Jin appeared very respectful, her demeanor different from when he had met her before.
"Don't be hostile. I've come to discuss cooperation with you."
"No need. I don't think there's anything for us to cooperate on." Liu Yifeng interrupted her before she could finish, stated what he wanted to say, and left.
It seemed quite absurd that Yun Duo'er would want to discuss cooperation with him; he found the idea laughable.
"Mr. Liu, I know you might have some prejudice against me, but you're popular right now, and we can't be the only ones looking for you. So, I hope you'll reconsider."
Seeing Liu Yifeng about to leave, Sister Jin finally stopped him, giving herself a chance to finish speaking.
"I don't have any popularity. I'm only on the show to help those who have difficulties starting businesses. So, don't have any other ideas. I would refuse anyone."
His gaze was firm, and eventually, Sister Jin slowly let go of his hand.
Upon returning home, he saw Tongtong still watching his program.
"Still watching? You admire Papa that much?"
He came to Tongtong's side and held him on his lap. He suddenly thought of Sister Jin's visit today and felt that woman was truly driven by self-interest, abandoning her child for fame before, and now clinging to him because of his popularity. It was a level of shamelessness he couldn't comprehend.
"Of course! You don't know how many children at school ask for my autograph. Because of Papa, I'm quite popular at school."
Tongtong's expression was full of pride. It seemed he enjoyed this feeling. Recently, Tongtong had indeed become more talkative than before.
Seeing Tongtong like this, he almost regretted it, regretting not sending Tongtong to school earlier. He had worried that Tongtong wouldn't fit in with them due to his age, but it appeared his worries were unfounded.
"That's good. As long as Tongtong isn't bullied, other things are minor." Liu Yifeng said, then hugged Tongtong tightly, truly afraid of losing him to that woman if he let go.
"Tongtong!"
With a rumbling sound, a downpour began outside. Liu Yifeng was startled awake by a dream of Tongtong being taken away.
He checked the time; it was almost time for work, but the rain showed no signs of stopping. It would be the old man taking Tongtong today, and Liu Yifeng was somewhat worried.
"Dad, I'll drive Tongtong later. The rain is too heavy today, so you shouldn't go." Liu Yifeng checked the time, then the continuous rain, realizing there was still enough time.
Liu Chunsheng shook his head. "It's fine if I take him. Just make sure Tongtong wears his raincoat. As long as Tongtong doesn't get wet, I'll be alright."
"No, I'll go."
Liu Yifeng absolutely wouldn't let Liu Chunsheng get soaked, so he rejected him with a firm tone.
"Yifeng, I saw it was raining today, so I thought Uncle might not find it convenient to take Tongtong, so I came over." Su Wanru arrived as the father and son were arguing.
It seemed she had thought of everything. Liu Chunsheng and Liu Yifeng exchanged a look, and then the old man went back to his room to call Tongtong.
"Thank you so much for the trouble. I was planning to take Tongtong, but the old man was reluctant. Fortunately, you came, otherwise, we'd still be at an impasse."
After seeing the old man leave, Liu Yifeng told Su Wanru what had just happened.
Su Wanru smiled. "I also thought it might not be convenient for the old man, and since it's not on your way to work, and I have nothing much to do, I thought I'd pick up Tongtong. Since it's been raining these days, I'll do it for the time being."
She looked at the time and the weather, deciding it was best to let her handle it for now, to save both the old man and Liu Yifeng the trouble.
"No, no, I can take him too. We can't always trouble you." Liu Yifeng directly refused. He had heard that the weather hadn't been great recently, but it was too sudden today, so he hadn't had time to notify Lu Fei. After today, he could let him know, making it easier for him to manage his work.
"Don't be polite with me. I have nothing going on at the company anyway. You must have a lot of contracts to deal with lately, so you focus on your work, and leave Tongtong to me. Don't you trust me?"
Su Wanru was also aware of the show's popularity, and coupled with the fact that everyone knew about Liu Yifeng's organic vegetables, many partners were eagerly seeking cooperation.
"No, of course not. I absolutely trust you, but it's too much trouble." Liu Yifeng felt a bit embarrassed. Tongtong's school matters had already troubled her a lot, so he truly felt a bit awkward.
Su Wanru patted Liu Yifeng's shoulder. "Don't worry, I don't mind the trouble. I'm Tongtong's aunt. What's there to trouble about? If you refuse again, then you're not treating me as family, are you?"
"Where did that come from? Of course, we treat you as family. Then, Tongtong will be in your care." Liu Yifeng still felt a little embarrassed, wanting to say more when Liu Chunsheng came out with Tongtong.
Seeing Su Wanru, Tongtong ran over and hugged her. "Auntie, are you taking me today?"
"Yes, it's raining today, so let's let Grandpa rest, and Auntie will drive you, okay?" Su Wanru said gently, looking at Tongtong.
It was evident that Su Wanru genuinely loved Tongtong.
Tongtong nodded happily. "Then, Papa, Grandpa, Tongtong is going to school." After speaking, he got into the car with Su Wanru and waved goodbye to them from the car window.
