"Sister Qiao, although I don't know my family very well yet, I still want to go back because I really want to see my parents, but..."
He paused and continued speaking word by word.
"I don't want to leave An An behind."
He knew yesterday that he was going to be taken back, and he had seriously considered it. He wanted to go back, but he didn't want An An to be alone in the orphanage.
Although An An can live a good life in the orphanage, he still can't worry about An An.
Moreover, he and An An grew up together and know An An's character best. If he left, An An would definitely cry.
Ping Ping stretched out his hand and carefully grabbed the corner of Qiao Jing's clothes, his big eyes full of helplessness.
"Sister Qiao, what should I do?"
Qiao Jing frowned and was thinking about this issue.
Now Ping Ping wants to go home, but can't worry about An An being alone, which creates a dilemma.
"Pingping, have you told your family about An An's situation?"
Pingping shook his head and answered truthfully:
"No, I didn't have much communication with Uncle Jiang. He only took me for a paternity test. He called me young master and said he would take me home."
Qiao Jing thought of the paternity test. She had checked it and found that there was no possibility of forgery.
Because it was Lu Zijin's hospital, there was no possibility that it could be forged with money, and it was impossible for a company as big as the Li Group to bring back an unrelated child.
Since the people in the Li Group don't know about Ping Ping's concerns yet, she needs to talk to them about the situation and find a solution.
Otherwise, Pingping would not be able to return to his family of origin with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jing frowned even more.
"I will tell them about An'an later. You just said you don't know your home yet? He hasn't told you about your home yet?"
When she heard Pingping say that she hadn't had much communication with Jiang Xiong, she felt doubtful in her heart.
After hearing Qiao Jing's words, Pingping breathed a sigh of relief and thought carefully for a while before speaking.
"Uncle Jiang told me that my family is in Nanjiang. My family runs a company. My mother only gave birth to one child. My name is Li Jingyan. My mother accidentally lost me when she took me out to play."
Qiao Jing was stunned when she discovered that Jiang Xiong had concealed the fact that Pingping's mother had a mental illness.
"Pingping, do you want me to call you by your original name, or Pingping?"
If Pingping wanted to go back, she had to make him familiar with his original name as soon as possible.
As for Jiang Xiong's concealment of Pingping's mother's mental illness, she could understand the Li family's thoughts.
After all, Pingping's mother suffered from depression because she lost Pingping. She must have felt very guilty because she didn't want Pingping to know about her illness for fear that her children would worry about her.
Ping Ping blinked his eyes blankly, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Sister Qiao, just call me Pingping. I'm not used to that name."
He hasn't decided yet whether to go back or not, so for him, the original name may not be useful.
Even if it comes in handy, he still wants Qiao Jing to call him Ping Ping.
It feels very friendly.
Qiao Jing nodded and asked the doubts that had been in her heart.
"Nanjiang is far away from the Imperial Capital. How did you come to the Imperial Capital from Nanjiang?"
If Pingping were on his own, it would be impossible to get from Nanjiang to the Imperial Capital.
There was a moment of confusion on Ping Ping's face, and he let out a dull "Ah".
Qiao Jing frowned, feeling that something was a little strange.
"Do not you remember?"
Is there any inside story?
But she hoped that she was overthinking it, otherwise things would become troublesome.
Ping Ping tried hard to search for the previous memories in his mind, but did not reply to Qiao Jing's words for a long time.
Qiao Jing couldn't bear to see Ping Ping trying so hard to remember but couldn't remember, so he stopped letting him rack his brains to think about it any more.
"Ping Ping, if you can't remember it, then you don't think about it."
Pingping shook his head, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remember! Sister Qiao, I was wandering around when I was lost. One day I went to the train station. I accidentally got on the train and was in the luggage compartment, and then I ended up here."
Qiao Jing nodded.
"So that's it, Pingping, you go back to class first, and I'll go talk to Jiang Xiong about An'an."
Fortunately, it was just an accident. If there was any inside story, it would involve many aspects.
After all, wealthy families are full of right and wrong, so she can't help but think too much about it.
Ping Ping responded obediently and stood up.
Qiao Jing and Pingping started walking towards the classroom. Before they reached the door of the classroom, they saw An An standing at the door from a distance.
She lowered her eyes and glanced at Ping Ping, and found a look of surprise and joy on the child's face at the same time.
Qiao Jing automatically let go of Ping Ping's hand.
Pingping immediately spread his short legs and ran forward, arriving in front of An An.
"An'an."
Qiao Jing said nothing, leaving space for the two little ones.
She knew that the two children only had a deep bond. After all, during those wandering days, they did not have family support like other children, but relied on each other to get through together.
She was very curious as to why An An came over at this time and wanted to say something.
Because An An had told her just now that she didn't dare to talk to He Ping, otherwise she was afraid that she would cry if she couldn't help it.
Then at this time...
An An's voice suddenly interrupted Qiao Jing's thoughts.
"Sister Qiao, I...I want my brother to go home."
When he heard An An's words, Qiao Jing's eyes showed a bit of surprise.
"Why?"
Not long ago, An An just told her that she didn't want Ping Ping to leave. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
An An gritted her teeth and tried her best to restrain the tears in her eyes from flowing out. She raised her head and looked at the sky.
"Because my brother will be accompanied by his parents when he goes back, and...my brother also wants to go home."
At this point, An An ran up behind Qiao Jing with a slightly forced smile on her face.
"I have no problem being alone! There are many children and teachers here, as well as Sister Qiao and Brother... Don't worry, just go home!"
Qiao Jing rubbed An An's little head with great distress and said nothing.
Ping Ping's initially hesitant face turned serious, his eyes shining with determination.
"Sister Qiao, if possible, I would like to take An An with me, or I would like to stay with An An."
An An was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up at Ping Ping, shocked and speechless.
Qiao Jing nodded.
"I understand. You can go back to class with peace of mind. I will take care of this matter."
She could try to communicate with the Li family and see their side's stance.
After all, Pingping has already made a decision, either go with An An or stay with An An.
Whether Pingping will go back in the end depends on the attitude of the Li family.
