After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Doudou Comes Knocking

The next morning, Doudou rubbed her big eyes and completed her washing with the help of a servant.

She quietly pulled open the door, only to see a large dog with black and white fur?

The big dog’s tail wagged furiously as it howled and shook its head, looking around, while the dog leash was in the hands of the tall man beside it, Li Lingyang.

Doudou recognized at first glance that the fluffy large dog was the Siberian Husky Beile, raised by her godfather!

Her little face lit up with milky excitement.

“Doudou, don’t you really like Beile? Daddy got it from your godfather, and from now on, you’ll be its little owner,” Li Lingyang coaxed his daughter, handing her the leash.

Doudou pouted; she had asked Daddy many times to bring Beile over to play, but he had always brushed her off. Could she really keep Beile today?

She was happy for only a second before puffing up with indignation, huffing that Daddy was trying to bribe her with Beile!

But Miss Ning couldn’t be compared to Beile at all…

“What, you don’t want it?” Seeing the little girl still angry, Li Lingyang couldn’t help but laugh and say.

Doudou tilted her head, ignoring Daddy.

Li Lingyang stroked his chin, pretending to ponder, “No one in our family likes pets, and since even you don’t want it now, it looks like I’ll have to send it for humane destruction.”

“Ao wu…” Beile, who had been lazily lying about, heard the word “destruction” and exploded into action, jumping up and down around Doudou in a very flattering manner.

Doudou also panicked and hugged Beile’s dog neck, glaring at Li Lingyang, clearly saying not to destroy Beile!

“So, you’re willing to adopt it now?”

Annoyed and embarrassed, Doudou took the dog leash from Li Lingyang’s hands and gently petted the dog’s head to comfort it.

Then, she strutted off, leading it downstairs.

Chengcheng was the one who disliked these small animals the most. Of course, he didn’t like large dogs either; he preferred kings of beasts with aggression like tigers and lions!

So, he found Beile particularly displeasing, especially with its dumb Husky looks.

But Doudou took good care of Beile.

Previously, when Daddy was busy with work and had to go abroad, her godfather would sometimes bring Beile to play with her. It could be said that before Ningning showed up, Beile was a good friend of hers!

…

Another day of rest, and Ning Yichu went online to watch last year’s heritage competition footage.

Because it mainly promoted jade carving culture, the event was broadcast live in a large venue, showing the finalists’ live design and carving process.

But this culture was ultimately niche, and the peak number of live viewers was only in the tens of thousands, far less than the number of people watching a minor internet celebrity selling goods on some sound platform.

Beep, a WeChat message suddenly popped up.

It was from Granny Li’s voice message, “Yichu, your craftsmanship is really amazing, absolutely divine. I’m following the young people’s trend and posted this Xiuyu jade on my Moments, and many old friends are asking me who carved it. I told them it was a gift from you, but they didn’t believe me, insisting that you must have bought it at a high price from another master, haha…”

Ning Yichu blushed, somewhat at a loss for laughter.

This line pays a lot of attention to seniority and factions, as well as inheritance.

For example, several well-known jade sculptors in Imperial City each have their own exclusive studios, or have trained a batch of excellent apprentices. These people generally band together, excluding and suppressing newcomers and outside jade sculptors.

It’s a bit like the traditional culture of chess, where each generation’s famous masters are passed down and are considered more orthodox.

“If you don’t mind my humble skills, Granny, that’s good enough.”

“I wouldn’t mind at all, who was it, I have an old sister who gambled on stones abroad and cracked open two pieces of jadeite. She’s wondering what to do with them, and I’ve thought of recommending you. Just not sure if you’re available or not?”

“I am available. Do you know the specific size and dimensions of her jadeite?”

“I have no idea, I’ll just have her go to Beiji to find you.”

“Okay, thank you Granny for introducing business to me,” Ning Yichu said sweetly.

“What sort of business is this? It’s just two pieces of broken jadeite. Considering you saved Doudou, no amount of customers I introduce would be enough,” Granny Li said happily, but then she seemed to hesitate, as if she had more to say but was stopping herself.

Ning Yichu picked up on her granny’s dilemma, “What’s wrong, Granny? Is there something else you want to ask me?”

“Chu Chu, there’s indeed something that’s been weighing on my heart, making it hard to breathe. Hui Yue told me that Ningning is your child with another man. That’s not true, is it? Granny knows you’re in love with Aling, and you wouldn’t cheat while married…”

Through the phone, Ning Yichu couldn’t see Granny Li’s expression, but she could guess the complexity of her emotions at that moment.

Granny had always been a firm supporter of her, but she couldn’t reveal the truth!

Li Lingyang already had Shen Jiangqing and the twins. Taking Doudou away would just be icing on the cake, but what about her? She only had Ningning and Chen Bao.

“I’m sorry, Granny. I’ve let down your trust.”

The silence fell suddenly on the other end of the phone, and Granny Li let out a long sigh, as if convincing herself to accept this fact.

“It seems Aling isn’t lucky enough to have that blessing. But it’s not all your fault; he often neglected you back then, which was indeed too harsh…”

“If you like Ningning, I can send her over to keep you company often.” It could be seen as creating joyful moments between grandparent and grandchild. She believed Granny wouldn’t look down on Ningning because of her origins.

As expected, Granny Li was still happy after hearing this. “That would be wonderful! You have no idea how much I wish I had a little girl chattering away beside me whenever I see Doudou not speaking.”

The two chatted on and on for quite a while before Granny Li reluctantly hung up.

Aunt Tong noticed it was getting cold and draped a thin blanket over Granny Li’s shoulders.

Granny Li’s thoughts were in turmoil, and she grasped Aunt Tong’s hand, “Atong, do you think it’s true that Ningning isn’t really a child of our Li Family?”

Aunt Tong was Granny Li’s confidante and knew what she was thinking, “Madam, are you confused? If we can think of it, Young Master Ling must have thought of it too, and he will naturally get a paternity test done.”

“I know that, of course, but every time I see Ningning, I feel like she and Doudou could really be sisters…”

“Madam, you’re just fond of Ningning because she resembles Lady Ning so much, and naturally, that makes you joyous,” Aunt Tong reassured her gently, patting her shoulder.

Granny Li stood up with a slap of her thigh, “No, I won’t be at ease until I see the results of the paternity test with my own eyes!”

…

As evening approached, Aunt Wang finished making dinner for Ning Yichu and Ningning, and had to leave early for something at home.

Ning Yichu was mostly recovered, capable of handling simple household chores with no problem.

The mother and daughter had just taken their seats at the dining table when they heard someone knocking at the door.

“It must be Granny Wang forgetting her phone again. I’ll go open the door…” Ningning slid off the bench like an eel, dashed in a few steps, and twisted the doorknob open.

But what she saw was a gaping maw.

With sinister white fangs and a long tongue lolling out, dripping with saliva.

“Ah!”

Terrified, Ningning screamed at the top of her lungs.
