Chapter 501: Let’s Give It a Try (Part 1)
The car drove for a while and turned into the community. Sheng Jianan parked the car in the garage and looked back at the little girl sitting in the back seat, "Xiao Yi, how about Daddy taking you home?"
"Okay."
The little girl looked excited, which made Sheng Jianan’s heart soften. Indeed, she was the child raised by that woman. How could she be so unsuspecting, not afraid that he might sell her?
Taking Su Weiyi upstairs, Sheng Jianan entered the password to go inside. This was the house he had someone buy these days, part of a new development by Shengshi Group. The house itself was already well decorated, just needing some furniture to be ready for moving in.
The reason for choosing a new apartment was, firstly, that Sheng Jianan feared Su Anle might still not be able to accept going home with him, and secondly, because the previous apartment wasn’t big enough. This one had four rooms; Sheng Jianan had already instructed for one to be made into a study, one into a studio, plus a bedroom, and a children’s room.
The studio was filled with many children’s paintings, countless drawing papers, and brushes. Su Weiyi was very excited, running inside and unwilling to come out.
Sheng Jianan sat down in the living room, occasionally going in to take a look. The little girl was quiet, holding a brush and doodling on paper. Although her drawings were all over the place, as long as she was happy, it was fine.
The phone rang again, and only then did Sheng Jianan remember that his mother had called earlier during the art exhibition, asking him to come home for dinner tonight. However, he had been distracted by the word "Daddy" and ended up hanging up.
Looking at the caller ID, Sheng Jianan narrowed his eyes, walked to the balcony, and picked up, "Hello?"
"Jianan, what happened just now? Why did you hang up?"
"Bad signal."
The person on the other end either didn’t notice his perfunctory response, or chose to ignore it, and continued, "Remember to come back tonight? Yaoyao is back from her business trip, I asked her over for dinner, you haven’t been back in a while."
Sheng Jianan glanced towards the studio’s direction and replied lightly, "I’m not free tonight."
"Why are you not free again? Isn’t it Saturday today?"
Sheng Jianan didn’t bother to explain further. He would have to go back to the Sheng Family, but not today.
"I have something on tonight, I’ll come back tomorrow at noon. Mom, I have things to do, I’m hanging up now."
After saying this, without waiting for a response, Sheng Jianan hung up the phone directly.
Standing on the balcony, Sheng Jianan’s eyes were cold, and his conversation with Shen Jiyan echoed in his mind; it was time to clear some things up.

On the other side, Su Anle and Bai Bing said they were shopping, but they didn’t really shop much. They found a place to sit and have afternoon tea. Qi Cheng was intensely gossiping about office rumors, and somehow the topic drifted to Lu Qilin.
"Senior Lu is now a millionaire lawyer. I heard he can earn seven figures for a single case and has his own law firm. He’s practically living the dream," Qi Cheng gossiped. Su Anle glanced at Bai Bing, finding her expression very calm, as if she was talking about someone irrelevant.
She and Lu Qilin last met when Lu Qilin was leaving B City, and since then, they hadn’t contacted each other. Listening to Qi Cheng talk about this now, Su Anle felt unsurprised.
Lu Qilin was excellent, always had been, and perhaps his lowest point was during that time.
He once owed millions, and now he was worth millions, which was entirely expected.
