Gou Sheng silently shook his head. It was apparent that Bei Bei was not the brightest child.

Since Bei Bei was not very smart, he would surely reveal seeing Bai Zhen to others. He probably wouldn’t understand what Gou Sheng meant either.

Gou Sheng asked Bai Zhen, “Do you want to tell your mommy about your brother?”

Bai Zhen shook her head. “Not for now, Brother Gou Sheng. This is our little secret, so you have to keep it to yourself, okay?”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Gou Sheng’s face. “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret.”

Afterward, Bai Zhen and Gou Sheng went back home with their minds full of thoughts.

When Bai Zhen arrived home, she ate her meal absentmindedly.

Bai Jiang couldn’t help but ask, “Baby, what’s wrong? You didn’t seem to enjoy your favorite braised pork ribs.”

When Bai Zhen heard this, she looked at Bai Jiang thoughtfully, then lowered her head and continued eating.

Bai Jiang was very puzzled by Bai Zhen’s behavior and asked her again, “Do you have something on your mind today? You seemed distracted during dinner, and you didn’t even answer Mommy’s question.”

Bai Zhen let out a deep sigh. “Mommy, what if, I’m just saying ‘what if’ we find brother and his father doesn’t want him to live with us? What should we do then?”

Bai Jiang immediately dismissed Bai Zhen’s concern without hesitation. “That won’t happen. Whether it’s legally or biologically, we have the upper hand.”

Bai Zhen furrowed her brow, feeling that her mother didn’t understand her words.

“But what if, Mommy? I’m still saying ‘what if’. What if the brother’s father has legal and biological support as well?”

Bai Jiang’s brow slightly furrowed upon hearing this. The situation Bai Zhen described was Bei Bei being with his biological father.

Under such circumstances, if Bei Bei had a deep emotional connection with his biological father, legally speaking, she might not be recognized as his family.

But she didn’t even know who the father of Baby and Bei BeI was. How could Bei Bei possibly be with his biological father?

“Baby, all these ‘what if’ you’re saying are impossible. Mommy will use the power of the law to protect Mommy and your brother. Don’t worry, I will find Bei Bei and bring him back to us.”

Observing Bai Jiang’s confident expression, Bai Zhen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Her mother seemed overly confident.

Bai Zhen could sense that despite Bei Bei didn’t talk much, he still had some emotional connection to that family.

She wondered what her father looked like and whether he would treat her well.

“Why are you two talking so much? Baby, have you found your father?” Bai Shu asked.

“No, that’s not it. I was just discussing a hypothesis with Mom,” Bai Zhen smiled. It was evident that she didn’t want to reveal her brother’s situation.

She knew that there was a concept called “taking things step by step”. If she wanted her brother to return to this family, it had to be done gradually.

“You’re quite a clever little rascal. You even understand such profound topics as hypotheses,” Bai Shu laughed heartily.

Then he turned to Bai Jiang and asked, “Jiang’er, Dad wants to know how things went when you went to treat the old principal.”

“Old principal? Which old principal?” Bai Jiang was puzzled, as if she hadn’t encountered any principal or similar person in the past few days.

“Didn’t that person’s son personally come to our house to invite you? The Wang family, remember?” Bai Shu said.

Bai Jiang pondered for a moment and finally had some recollection of the name Wang Li.

Her eyes widened, and she asked for clarification, “The person I saved that day was the principal of our elementary school?”

“Yes, exactly. If I’m not mistaken, you should be the last batch of students during his tenure as principal,” Bai Shu confirmed.

So, it was him!

Bai Jiang felt a surge of delight within her.

If Wang Li was indeed the principal of Chunfeng Elementary School, then perhaps after saving him, she would receive free publicity from him. This would ensure a steady stream of patients coming to her.

No matter what kind of difficult problem that dog system posed, she could easily complete it.

Perhaps sensing Bai Jiang’s thoughts, the system emitted a crackling sound.

“Host, please stop doubting the system,” it said.

What was this “dog system”? Although it liked dogs, it disliked the combination of the words “system” and “dog”.

Bai Jiang remained silent, deeply immersed in her joy.

Observing that Bai Jiang paid no attention, the system became even more dissatisfied.
