The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1164 - 1133 Temporary Adoption

Snake King called He Tiantian’s workplace, and Zhu Zhitao said He Tiantian had gone home because she wasn’t feeling well.

He guessed that He Tiantian might be worried and couldn’t settle down at work, so she went home, so he called her home.

"Cousin, come to the police station near the train station, I have some matters," Li Xian said, thinking that as long as He Tiantian came over, they could probably go home and enjoy a big feast.

He Tiantian was startled but then understood, and asked, "What’s the matter? You didn’t do anything illegal, did you?"

"No, just assisting with an investigation. I rescued a child from a human trafficker, and the kid won’t let go of me, won’t be calmed by anyone else, so I thought of taking her home. But it’s a little girl, and I’m an unmarried male, which doesn’t meet the requirements, so I wanted you to come over, especially since I also live at your place, and the child would be going to your place anyhow. It might be better if you handle the paperwork," Snake King explained briefly.

He Tiantian’s heart blossomed with joy; the kid was quite the actor, she said, "Okay, wait for me, I’m free right now, I’ll come over immediately."

"Thank you so much, cousin," Snake King said, "Be safe on the road."

Snake King hung up the phone and said, "Okay, my cousin will be here soon."

He Tiantian took her ID card and her family household register, then asked Wei Yuanyuan to drive over.

The undercover bodyguards also began to follow.

It wasn’t the rush hour for commuting, so the car journey was smooth all the way, quickly arriving at the police station near the train station. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

He Tiantian, with her small shoulder bag, wearing a peach-red coat, shoulder-length hair, and little high-heeled leather shoes, came in from outside.

"Cousin, over here," Li Xian waved to He Tiantian, somewhat excited, they could go home soon.

He Tiantian quickened her steps, her gaze falling on Little Rotating Turtle’s face, which looked like a little flower cat, oh my, red eyes, the poor thing.

"Is this the child?" He Tiantian asked, squatting down to look at Little Rotating Turtle, "Hello there, could aunty invite you and uncle to come play at my house?"

Little Rotating Turtle pretended to hesitate for a moment, looking at Li Xian and then at He Tiantian, nodded, but didn’t speak.

Old Chen, Xiao Liu, and Little Li felt somewhat relieved seeing this.

"Hello, hello, I’m Captain Chen. This child should actually be taken care of by the government, but because Mr. Li saved her and she relies heavily on Mr. Li, according to the rules, Mr. Li can’t look after her, so we had to trouble you. However, I will apply for financial aid for you as soon as possible," Captain Chen explained, somewhat uneasily, worried He Tiantian might not agree.

He Tiantian smiled and said, "It’s no big deal, my family already has three children, one more doesn’t make a difference. We have a nanny at home, and I help take care of the kids too, I can manage it. It’s getting late now, let’s do the paperwork, I’ve brought the household register and my ID card."

Old Chen was pleased to see He Tiantian so agreeable, and said, "Comrade He is a good person."

"It’s pitiful for a child to encounter such things, any parent would be frantic," He Tiantian sighed, "As a mother, facing such an issue, of course, I must help out. Since the child is attached to my cousin, it’s fate. Don’t worry, I guarantee with my character that the child will be fine in our care. Besides, my cousin and I are financially capable of raising this child, so we don’t need any subsidies."

He Tiantian’s words made everyone even more convinced that she was a good person.

"By the way, where is your husband?" Xiao Liu asked while processing the paperwork, "Comrade He, don’t overthink it, we are just asking."

He Tiantian smiled, "My husband has been on a business trip recently. He’s a researcher, and I’m not clear when he will return, so he couldn’t be here."

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "I was just asking."

Having no male at home was actually better.

After the paperwork was done, He Tiantian squatted down, extended her hand, and said, "Let’s go home."

Everyone thought Little Rotating Turtle would be reluctant, but to their surprise, she looked at Li Xian and then opened her arms to He Tiantian.

The crowd was astonished!

He Tiantian lifted Little Rotating Turtle effortlessly, appearing very at ease, which made the crowd even more astonished.

Little Rotating Turtle clung to her mistress’s neck and closed her eyes; crying was very draining.

Li Xian said his goodbyes to the crowd, "Don’t worry, we will take good care of the child."

Old Chen, Xiao Liu, and others followed them to the gate, until He Tiantian’s car disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Old Chen was amazed and said, "Athletes really do have great strength!"

"I want to say that He Tiantian is really beautiful, even more so than on TV." Xiao Liu said, "Her household registration says she was born in ’55, she’s thirty-two this year, thirty-three in nominal age, but why do I feel she looks younger than me? I was born in ’64, and I’m only twenty-three this year."

Little Li remarked emotionally, "Natural beauty is hard to give up!"

"Alright, hurry and interrogate, and find the child’s family as soon as possible," Old Chen said. They had already taken photos and prepared the documents; now they were just waiting to get some information from the human traffickers.

"Yes, Captain." The two didn’t dare delay and quickly went to work.

In the car, since Wei Yuanyuan was driving, the Snake King, Little Rotating Turtle, and He Tiantian merely exchanged glances and didn’t show familiarity.

He Tiantian chatted with the Snake King, asking, "Can you tell me the details about what happened?"

The Snake King nodded, "Sure, today..."

Wei Yuanyuan, who was driving in the front, heard and said, "These human traffickers deserve to die!"

"Yes, a child is really important to a family," He Tiantian said, "Without the child, a family isn’t complete."

"Exactly," Wei Yuanyuan said, "these traffickers should be shot, they can’t be allowed such impunity!"

Later, Wei Yuanyuan talked about some of the atrocities committed by the traffickers, leaving He Tiantian with a heavy heart.

He Tiantian turned to Little Rotating Turtle and asked, "What’s your name?"

Ha-ha, she could finally reveal her name openly and honestly.

"I am called Xuanxuan," Little Rotating Turtle, Mengmeng, said with clean cheeks thanks to He Tiantian wiping them with a damp cloth; she was a fair-skinned little girl, even more adorable than she was the previous night.

He Tiantian couldn’t help pinching Little Rotating Turtle’s chubby cheeks.

The Snake King laughed; aside from some initial discomfort, he had gotten used to being around her and found Little Rotating Turtle quite entertaining.

This was also good, as it meant having a companion in the future.

Seeing people waiting to pick up their children at the school gate in front, Wei Yuanyuan suggested, "Should we stay and pick up Ruihua, Ruimin, and the third kid before we all head back together?"

He Tiantian looked at the car seats and said, "Li Xian, you go pick up the kids. I will take Xuanxuan home, give her a bath, and change her into clean clothes, then formally introduce her to the children."

Li Xian nodded, "Sure, we’re not far from home anyway."
