Shao Tianze took Yi and Miaomiao home.
On the way, Shao Tianze tried to get some useful information from Miaomiao. However, Miaomiao had been crying with fear.
The temperature in the car was very comfortable, which was neither too hot nor too cold.
After getting exhausted, Miaomiao fell asleep on Shao Tianze’s shoulder before getting home.
Seeing that, Gu Yi slightly pressed his lips and asked Shao Tianze, “Dad, do you believe that man?”
Hearing Gu Yi’s question, Shao Tianze gently pressed his lips and then smiled briefly, replying, “I believe Changle won’t harm you like this. Right, Yi?”
Hearing that, Gu Yi smiled and nodded, replying, “Yes.”
He knew that Shao Tianze valued that woman most.
That woman was always more important than him and his younger sister.
Gu Changle was waiting anxiously at home.
Ding Ali was gloating over Gu Changle’s anxiety.
Though she had been getting along well with Gu Changle these days, Gu Changle was still her thorn of flesh as no women wanted to share their men with others.
She was not different from others. If the man had told Shao Tianze that Gu Changle was the person behind the kidnapping, Gu Changle’s days in the Shao Family would have been numbered.
Ding Ali felt happy, but she couldn’t show it.
Nor did she want to posture in front of Gu Changle. So she covered her belly with her hands and prepared to return to her room.
Gu Changle didn’t want to see Ding Ali and felt even more annoyed and frowned when seeing Ding Ali covering her belly so dramatically.
She lurched to her feet.
Seeing that, the servant who was going to hand her a glass of warm water asked with concern, “Miss Gu, are you going out?”
Gu Changle cast a stern glance at her. Then she went straight back to her room without a word.
As soon as Gu Changle got back to her room, she couldn’t help wandering around in her room. After a while, she suddenly took out her phone and made a phone call as if she had thought of a way.
Before long, she heard Ding Ali’s exclaiming next door.
Gu Changle felt a bit better when hearing that.
When Shao Tianze returned, a family servant tapped on the door of Gu Changle’s room.
Hearing that, Gu Changle asked her impatiently, “What?”
“Mr. Shao is back.”
Hearing that, Gu Changle frowned and pondered for a moment before she walked out of her room.
She took a deep breath, preparing herself. Then she walked downstairs, wanting to speak to Shao Tianze.
No sooner had she got downstairs than she saw Miaomiao sleeping in Shao Tianze’s arms.
She called Shao Tianze, “Tianze, I…”
Shao Tianze cut her off, saying, “Miaomiao is asleep. Let me put her in the bed first.”
Seeing that Shao Tianze lowered his voice, Gu Changle nodded blankly and returned to her room, waiting for Shao Tianze.
Sure enough, Shao Tianze went to Gu Changle’s room after putting Miaomiao in the bed.
When hearing the door open, Gu Changle turned her head.
But out of her expectation, Shao Tianze slapped her hard across the face.
Gu Changle was totally unprepared for this and just went blank.
After a long while, Gu Changle covered her face and goggled at Shao Tianze, asking, “What are you doing?”
“Don’t play dumb with me.”
Gu Changle had never been beaten by Shao Tianze before and never got any bad treatment since she knew Shao Tianze. But now Shao Tianze slapped her in the face.
She could not take it. She frowned and immediately thought of Zhang Lei.
“Did that man tell you that I harmed Yi and Miaomiao?” Gu Changle defended herself, “They are my sister’s kids. How could I do that? Don’t believe his nonsense!”
She felt both nervous and afraid.
Shao Tianze had never stared at her so stonily like that.
And she didn’t want to be treated by Shao Tianze like this.
Shao Tianze eyed her coldly, saying, “Gu Changge has already died. Will you let them off?”
Of course she wouldn’t.
Gu Changle thought to herself.
However, she could not say it out.
Because she knew clearly that Shao Tianze valued and loved the two kids.
She pressed her lips and then looked at Shao Tianze, looking aggrieved, “Though we conspired together and killed Gu Changge, Gu Yi and Miaomiao are also your kids. For the sake of you, how could I hurt them?”
“I don’t believe a word of what you said.”
Shao Tianze looked at Gu Changle and continued with a colder voice, but he got a bit calmer, “Was it because you are worried that the two kids returned and will inherit the Shao Family that you wanted to kill them over and over again?”
Hearing that, Gu Changle denied immediately, “No!”
“Then why?” Shao Tianze asked Gu Changle.
Gu Changle insisted stubbornly, “I have never thought of hurting the two kids! Why did you believe a strange man’s nonsense? I’m telling the truth!”
Gu Changle glibly said that she was telling the truth.
But looking at the expression on her face, Shao Tianze didn’t believe her at all.
He knew Gu Changle well. Though he wanted to shield this woman from the bottom of his heart, his two kids would get killed by her if he continued indulging her.
He could let someone else inherit the Shao Family, but he could not let Gu Yi and Miaomiao die.
“Changle, listen up. I’m being serious. You can’t take their lives.”
Seeing that Shao Tianze said with great seriousness, Gu Changle clenched her fists, exclaiming, “I really didn’t do it!”
Shao Tianze didn’t believe a word of it. He lowered his eyes and left the room, saying, “You behave yourself.”
Hearing that warning, Gu Changle gnashed her teeth.
But no sooner had Shao Tianze walked out the door than he heard a vase being smashed.
Gu Changle and Shao Tianze were both taken aback and rushed out to see what happened.
Their first reaction was that someone was eavesdropping.
Sure enough, they saw that an antique vase lay in pieces on the floor. Meanwhile, some servants also rushed upstairs because of the noise.
Seeing the servants, Shao Tianze asked them immediately, “Did you see who broke the vase?”
One of them shook his head, replying, “Sorry, Mr. Shao. I didn’t.”
Shao Tianze lowered his eyes.
At that moment, Gu Changle said, “If it was Gu Yi or Miaomiao who broke it, they would probably overhear us. You mentioned that we murdered Gu Changge just now.”
Gu Changle whispered darkly in Shao Tianze’s ear, “If one of them heard our conversation, what would you do?”
Shao Tianze pressed his lips and remained silent for a moment, replying, “Not them.”
Gu Changle felt a bit amused at Shao Tianze’s answer.
“If they heard us, you want to eliminate them even if you are their father, right?”
Gu Changle said what was in Shao Tianze’s mind in no uncertain terms.
Hearing that, Shao Tianze clenched his fists and turned to warn Gu Changle, “Shut up.”
Though being dressed down, Gu Changle gloated over Shao Tianze’s displeasure.
She knew Shao Tianze very well.
As Shao Tianze had been a surgeon for years, he had already become heartless.
Even Gu Changge, who had been his wife for so many years, was killed by him. He would harden his heart and eliminate the two kids if they knew that he murdered Gu Changge. In this way he could keep the secret forever.
Gu Changle knew Shao Tianze was in a dilemma.
So she remained silent and went back into her room.
As soon as Gu Changle returned to her room, she heard another person was going upstairs.
Hearing that the person stopped, Gu Changle quietly opened the door a crack.
Just as she hoped, she saw the bodyguard who had been watching Ding Ali whispering something to Shao Tianze.
After the bodyguard had finished his words, Shao Tianze immediately followed him downstairs.
Gu Changle quietly closed the door. In moments, she heard Ding Ali’s cry from downstairs.
Gu Changle couldn’t help chuckling on hearing that.
Meanwhile, Ding Ali was dragged out of her room by the bodyguard.
She desperately tried to free herself from the bodyguard while defending herself, “It’s none of my business! Why should I get blamed?!”
Shao Tianze narrowed his eyes and looked at Ding Ali, saying, “I planned to let you live in the Shao Family for a while and make you treat Yi and Miaomiao like your own children. But I never expected that you got someone to kidnap my kids and wanted to kill them.”
“No! I didn’t do it!” Ding Ali strongly denied it.
Shao Tianze looked at her, asking, “So tell me, why a man called you to ask for a reward?”
“You tapped my phone?”
When Ding Ali finished, she immediately realized that that was not the point, explaining, “I don’t know why the man called me. I didn’t do such things! They want to set me up! They definitely want to set me up!”
Ding Ali tried hard to make Shao Tianze believe her.
But Shao Tianze replied, “Just abort your child and leave Yuncheng. I never want to see you again or let you stay in the Shao Family.”
With this, he motioned the bodyguard to drag Ding Ali out of the house.
The bodyguard understood and carried Ding Ali out of the house.
