Chapter 856: Chapter 844: Zhan Qiaoyu Plays the Victim Zhan Qiaoyu had just finished speaking when Sanbao, Zhan Qiaomo, quickly asked, "Big brother, have you thought of a way to confirm it?" Earlier, twas tight, and they were afraid of losing track of the person who might be their mommy, so they only made a preliminary plan of who would follow her, without having tto discuss a way to confirm it. "Not yet, I'm still thinking. Let's not talk about it now, we're going to lose her if we keep talking." After saying this, Zhan Qiaoyu pressed a button on his watch and hung up the call.
After leaving the seaside, Qiao Jing felt much better.
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin then dragged her to a nearby lantern festival.
Qiao Jing wasn't very interested in the lantern festival and hadn't planned to go, but couldn't resist Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin's strong persuasion, so she went with them in the end.
There were quite a few people at the lantern festival, and along the way, many people pointed at Qiao Jing. Swhispered about her, while others openly and brazenly discussed her.

"Do you think it might be contagious? If we got it, wouldn't we becas ugly as her?" "Probably not, if it were contagious, those two women beside her would have caught it by now. But to be honest, this woman is really ugly!" "Don't you think that woman looks like a toad? Especially with those things on her face, it looks exactly like a toad's skin, hahaha..." Hearing these extremely unfriendly comments, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin were very angry and wanted to confront those who spoke rudely.
However, Qiao Jing, the person involved, remained calm and stopped the two from confronting them.
"Let them say what they want. It doesn't hurtto be talked about, so there's no need to let such people affect my mood and waste time." Although Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin were still indignant, since Qiao Jing said so, they gave up the idea of confronting those people and continued walking with her.
Zhan Qiaoyu, who was following behind, also heard those comments and felt increasingly uncomfortable. When Qiao Jing and the other two had walked a bit further, he angrily ran to the person who was laughing heartily earlier and shouted fiercely, "You're the toad! Your whole family are toads!" The person was momentarily stunned, and when they cto their senses, their face turned dark instantly, glaring menacingly at the little guy.
"You little brat, how dare you insult me? And my whole family? I think you're itching for a beating!" "Don't think that just because you're a kid, I won't dare to hit you. Apologize immediately, or I'll smack your butt!" Though the person's threatening demeanor seemed intimidating, Zhan Qiaoyu wasn't scared at all.
He puffed up his small face and gave a cold snort, "You're the one who should apologize! You insulted people first!" "You little brat, you really don't know your limits. Seems like I have to teach you a lesson for you to learn!" After saying this, the person really acted as if they were going to hit Zhan Qiaoyu.
At this point, everyone around couldn't just stand by. Sstepped up to protect Zhan Qiaoyu, while others angrily criticized the person who attempted to do harm.
"How can you, an adult, bear to hit such a small child? This is really disgraceful!" "Exactly, such a cute kid, how can you have the heart to be mean to him? This is utterly outrageous!" "I think the kid is totally right, you were the one insulting others first, you're the one who should apologize!" "It's one thing not to have manners, but to bully a child, that's just inhumane!" Under the strong condemnation and disdainful gazes of those around, the person's face turned sour, and finally, unable to withstand it, they slinked away with their tail between their legs.
After achieving victory, Zhan Qiaoyu wasted no time, afraid of losing them, and quickly chased in the direction Qiao Jing had gone.
However, he ran quite a distance and still didn't see any sign of Qiao Jing.
The little guy was a bit puzzled, there weren't any other pathways around here, so logically, it shouldn't be possible to lose them. Why couldn't he see them at all? While Zhan Qiaoyu was feeling confused, he suddenly turned around and bumped into someone.
Although the bump didn't hurt, the little guy instinctively rubbed his forehead with his tiny hand, saying, "Sorry, I didn't mean to, I didn't know someone was behind me." After apologizing, Zhan Qiaoyu looked up and realized he had bumped into the very person he was looking for. His eyes lit up immediately.
Qiao Jing, who got bumped into, also had a moment of brightness in her eyes.
Her gaze lingered on the little guy's face, thinking he was so adorable, his features were delicate and carved like jade.
When he grows up, he'll definitely be a heartthrob for countless young girls! Besides that, Qiao Jing felt a strange sense of familiarity with the little guy, although she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin, standing nearby, were also stunned by Zhan Qiaoyu's extremely high looks. They stared at him for a while and suddenly felt like he looked somewhat familiar.
Qiao Lin tugged on Qiao Hong's sleeve and whispered, "Why do I feel this kid looks a bit like that person E from the Zhan Family?" Qiao Hong nodded in agreement, "I feel the sway." After exchanging a glance, Qiao Lin looked back at Zhan Qiaoyu and asked, "Little guy, what's your name?" Zhan Qiaoyu shook his head and said seriously, "My Grandpa Zeng toldnot to tell my nto strangers." After saying this, he turned to Qiao Jing, blinking his big round eyes, "But if you're the one asking, I'll tell you." Hearing this, Qiao Lin felt a bit aggrieved. She snorted lightly, "Little guy, what do you mean by that?"
"You're so young and already have double standards, isn't that bad? Treating people differently just to ask ahame, have you considered my feelings?" Zhan Qiaoyu ignored Qiao Lin's complaints, still fixating his gaze on Qiao Jing, eagerly hoping she would ask for his name.
Qiao Jing was charmed by his cuteness and reached out to touch his little head an affectionate smile naturally appearing on her face. But instead of asking for his name, she asked another question, "Where are your parents?" Upon hearing this, Zhan Qiaoyu suddenly looked aggrieved, pouting, "I don't have a mommy, mommy is missing." Qiao Jing frowned slightly, pondering for a moment.
Judging by the little guy's words, could it be that his mommy abandoned him? But how could his mommy leave behind such a cute and well-behaved child? Perhaps something else happened? Regardless of the reason, it's quite pitiful for such a small child to be without his mommy... After a pause, Qiao Jing asked another question, “Then where did your daddy go?"
