Lin Nancheng walked out of the lounge and heard Song Guo’s gentle words to Xin Qiao.

From the angle he was standing, he could see that she was unconsciously pitiful.

Or to be more precise, his sensitive nerves were stung by her words that were almost self-belittling.

A feeling of heartache slowly spread from the bottom of his heart.

Song Guo and Xin Qiao sat with their backs to him, so they did not notice that he had already walked out of the lounge.

When Xin Qiao Heard Song Guo’s words, she quickly moved closer and hugged her waist. “Mom, in my heart, you are the best and the most beautiful. In this world, there must be no Auntie who is more beautiful and has a better temperament than you. That’s why you are the most suitable person for Dad. ”

Song Guo smiled. Her beautiful jawbone slowly caressed Xin Qiao’s soft hair. “So I’m so perfect in Xin Qiao’s heart! ”

“But unfortunately, dad already has a beautiful Auntie in his heart that he likes very much. There’s no place for mom, so Xin Qiao must never get along with dad with this idea, understand? ”

“Why, Mommy? ”

Xin Qiao Nestled in Song Guo’s arms and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t want you and daddy to be separated. I want you two to always be with me. ”

Song Guo frowned and thought for a few seconds before she slowly said, “Xin Qiao, you’re still young. There are many things in the adult world that you can’t understand, but you’re already six years old. You should know that everything has to come first, and feelings are the same. ”

“and… Daddy and mommy just don’t live together, but their love for you will never change. ”

Xin Qiao was still very sad, but she was afraid that her mother would be sad if she continued to be sad, so she quickly restrained all her sad emotions “Mom, although I really want you and dad to be together, if you can’t be together, I will always love you and always love you. ”

Song Guo Kissed Xin Qiao’s fair forehead. “Yes, Xin Qiao is so obedient. ”

Before she could say anything else, she heard steady footsteps behind her.

She turned around and saw a tall man walking over from the lounge.

She smiled at him. In the next second, she let go of Xin Qiao’s arms and stood up awkwardly. “sorry to trouble you. ”

Lin Nancheng did not say anything. He walked over and sat on the SOFA.

He placed the medical kit beside his leg and patted the seat beside him, indicating that she could sit down.

Song Guo pursed her lips and sat down. She watched as the man beside her skillfully took out the things needed to be bandaged from the medical kit and very cooperatively handed over the injured hand.

Lin Nancheng did not show any mercy. His face was dark throughout the entire bandaging process. His movements were impatient and rude, as if he could not be bothered with her anymore.

She was also very tactful and did not say a word. She silently endured his not-so-gentle bandaging.

After more than ten minutes, he finally finished bandaging her injured hand. She quickly withdrew her small hand that was placed in his large hand and said with a smile, “thank you, Lin. ”

Lin Nancheng snorted as a response.

Song Guo bit her lip in embarrassment and then tactfully stood up. “then… Lin, I’ll be leaving first. I’ll leave Xin Qiao to you for the next few days. ”

Lin Nancheng snorted in response again.

Song Guo was still smiling. She made a phone call gesture with Xin Qiao, then walked out of Lin Nancheng’s office in a hurry.

Xin Qiao watched Song Guo’s figure disappear before she dared to turn her head to look at Lin Nancheng. It was as if she was having an intense internal struggle before she asked in a low voice, “Dad, do you really have a beautiful aunt you like? ”

“No, don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense. ”

Xin Qiao frowned. “But mom said… ”

Lin Nancheng closed the medical kit in annoyance and stood up abruptly. “Don’t mention your mother’s words in front of me again. ”

Xin Qiao was startled by his actions, and then she let out a lonely “oh, ” indicating that she understood.

Lin Nancheng was shocked to realize that he had overreacted, but he could not explain it to a child. Even if he did explain, she might not be able to understand it.

After thinking about it, he chose to leave without saying anything.

Xin Qiao looked at his tall back and secretly shed tears for the first time.

…

In a high-class Western restaurant in Lin city.

Wen Xi had won the first prize in the piano competition a few days ago, and her wish was for Wen Nuan to accompany him for a day.

Wen Nuan did not go back on her word. After the organizers announced the results, she brought Wen Xi out to shop for clothes, but most of them were for herself. Except for when she passed by the Children’s store, Wen Xi pointed at the rifle in the window and begged her to buy one for him She had no choice but to buy it for him perfunctorily.

It was close to noon now, and she was a little tired from walking in her ten-centimeter high heels. She did not care about Wen Xi’s preferences and walked into the Western restaurant.

Wen Xi carried the spoils of Wen Nuan’s shopping and followed closely behind Wen Nuan.

After Wen nuan finished ordering her food, Wen Xi slowly walked over.

She crossed her fair and tender legs and could not help but glare at him “Wen Xi, can you not be so slow in everything you do? If you do this again, no matter what competition you win in the future, there will be no reward, let alone family time. Do you understand? ”

Wen Xi placed the things in her hands on the dining chair with great effort. Then, she pressed her hands against her trousers and lowered her head to admit her mistake. “I’m sorry, mom. I’ll change in the future. ”

“MM, your attitude of admitting your mistake is okay. ”

Wen Nuan saw that he was obedient, and the gloom in her heart was instantly swept away. “sit down. ”

Wen Xi nodded. Then, she climbed onto the Dining Chair and sat upright.

Wen nuan called the waiter over and only ordered a few things that she liked to eat.

Wen Xi really wanted to eat French fries, but she was afraid that her mother would think that he was picky. Until the waiter left, she did not dare to say anything.

Twenty minutes later, the waiter served the food that Wen Nuan had ordered. Wen Nuan casually gave Wen Xi some food and started eating.

Wen Xi picked up the Food Wen Nuan handed over and took small bites. She had a calm and reserved look and did not look like a child at all.

Wen Nuan disliked Wen Xi’s expression the most. She felt that it was an eyesore and waved her hand. “Go wait for me at the door when you’re full. ”

Wen Xi had just eaten a few mouthfuls and was not even half full. However, in order not to anger his mother, he still stood up and walked over obediently.

…

Lu Xiaoxiao had just finished eating with her friend and walked down from the floor of the private room when she saw the small figure standing at the entrance of the restaurant.

She didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but after a quick glance, she felt that the child’s facial features were too familiar. She couldn’t remember who that person was, so she could only walk over and strike up a conversation “little friend, why are you standing here alone? Where are your parents? ”

Wen Xi’s dark eyes stared at Lu Xiaoxiao without blinking. She didn’t say a word, but her expression was full of hostility and wariness.

The more Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him, the more familiar he looked. She couldn’t help but ask, “little friend, do you know your parents’ names? ”

Wen Xi turned around and ignored her.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw that he was ignoring her and also felt that she was being unreasonable.

There were thousands of similar people in this world. She only felt that he looked a little familiar. Even if she wanted to get to the bottom of it, as long as it was a sensible child, they would be so wary of her, right?

She did not stay any longer. Instead, she stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Just as she walked out, the phone in her handbag vibrated. She took out her phone and glanced at the name displayed on it. Then, she swiped the answer button. The next second, Lu Zhengming’s voice was heard. “Xiaoxiao, where are you now? ”

After Lu Xiaoxiao heard it, she didn’t answer. Lu Zhengming’s voice was heard again. “Let’s not talk about this for now. Something happened at home. Come back quickly. ”

After he said that, the other end of the phone cut off the communication.

Lu Xiaoxiao took the phone away from her ear and looked at the screen that was dimming bit by bit. Her heart seemed to sink into an ice-cold sea. For a few seconds, it even stopped beating.

One wave after another?

She sighed. Just as she was about to take a step forward, the hem of her clothes was pulled from the side. She turned around and saw the small figure she saw at the restaurant’s entrance.

Wen Xi raised her head and said with a choked voice, “Aunty, I got separated from my mother. Can you send me home? I know my home address. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that Lu Zhengming calling her to go back would mean nothing good, so she did not reject him. “Okay, I’ll send you back. ”

…

At the same time, at the intersection of the traffic lights on Hanshui road.

Wen Nuan had just received a call from Auntie Xia at the Western restaurant. She said that Fu Qingshan had brought Lin Yan back to the old residence, and Yu Jing had personally cooked for her. She was so agitated by these words that she went crazy. She picked up the spoils of war that she had bought today She hurriedly paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Halfway through the car, she suddenly remembered that Wen Xi was still standing at the other exit of the restaurant waiting for her.

Wen nuan quickly drove back. After asking the restaurant staff, they told her that Wen Xi had been taken away by a very beautiful young woman.

She had been with Wen Xi for so long, and she knew that he would not easily leave with a stranger. The beautiful woman who could take him away must be someone he was familiar with.

She filtered it over and over in her mind, and in the end, she focused her target on Lin Yan.

Right now, the person who was most eager for her to make a mistake was probably Lin Yan.

She did not continue to search and waste time. Instead, she quickly drove away, preparing to go back and confront Lin Yan.

Half an hour later.

Wen nuan drove the Black Bentley slowly into the courtyard of the Fu family’s old residence.

When Auntie Xia served the last dish to the dining table, Wen nuan just walked in from outside the door. After calling for people one by one, she walked to Lin Yan’s side and said in a low voice, “Lin Yan, I know you hate me, but you can’t have no principles and no bottom line. If you’re dissatisfied with me, then come at me. Don’t hurt the innocent, especially a few years old child. ”

Lin Yan blinked her eyes. “Miss Wen, are you acting? Otherwise, why can’t I understand what you’re saying? ”

“Lin Yan, I’m begging you. Give Wen Xi back to me! ”

Yu Jing didn’t take Wen Nuan’s words to heart at first. It wasn’t until she mentioned Wen Xi’s name that she had no choice but to ask, “Wen Nuan, explain things clearly first. ”

Wen nuan pursed her lips. Her eyes were already bloodshot “Grandma, it’s like this. Xi Xi won the first prize in the piano competition a few days ago. His wish was that I could accompany him for a day. I just had dinner with him in the restaurant. I went to the bathroom for a few minutes and when I came back, he was gone… ”

“Gone? ”

Yu Jing stood up and her emotions also became agitated. “How could he be gone? ”

“Grandma, I’m not judging a gentleman by his despicable heart. Someone who can keep an eye on US mother and son must be someone who hates us to the bone. I admit that I’ve taken over the nest. If you don’t like it, you can just chase me away. Why must you use such a dirty trick? ”

Although the warm words were not said to Lin Yan, everyone present could hear that her words were meant for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was expressionless, as if her slander was just a clown acting for her. She did not care at all.

Fu Qingshan went upstairs to the study room to knock on the door, but no one answered. He was slowly walking down the stairs when he heard Wen nuan speak softly, enunciating each word “I beg you, I can do nothing, I don’t care about anything, but Wen Xi is my life. I really can’t do without him. Please return him to me. ”

Wen Nuan spoke with confidence. Even Yu Jing glanced at Lin Yan, who had a calm expression on her face.

Auntie Xia stood at the side, not daring to breathe loudly or leave. She was afraid that if she made any noise, she would become the main culprit of this bloody storm.

Fu Qingshan saw Wen nuan standing beside Lin Yan aggressively, looking as if she wanted to eat her alive. He quickly walked down and stood in the middle without leaving a trace, blocking Wen nuan’s glare and clamor “Wen Nuan, are you a dog? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don’t bite? Why are you mad at Yan ‘er? ”

“Fu Qingshan, why are you asking me why I’m mad at her? Why don’t you ask her what she did? ”

Fu Qingshan laughed softly. “Wennuan, did I marry you? ”

Wennuan bit her red lips and her expression suddenly changed.

“I didn’t marry you. Who are you trying to show off to? I thought you were smart, but you’re just so-so. ”

Yu Jing, who was standing at the side, could not stand it anymore and quickly said, “Xiao Shan, don’t argue with Wennuan for now. Xixi is missing, so it’s inevitable that she will lose control… ”

Fu Qingshan did not hear her finish and interrupted her with a smile. “Grandma, this has nothing to do with her losing control. Xixi is missing. She can go to the police and not bite people like a mad dog. ”

“You… ”

The warmth in her eyes finally burst. She reached out and wiped it away. “Fu Qingshan, can you be reasonable? ”

“Sure, I love being reasonable. ”

The one who said this was Lin Yan.

She stood up from the dining chair, bypassed Fu Qingshan, who was standing between her and Wen Nuan, and walked to Wen Nuan. Then, they looked at each other. After a few seconds, she slowly said, “You said that I deliberately hid Wen Xi. Do you have any evidence? ”

“regardless of whether it was recorded by the surveillance camera or someone saw it with their own eyes, as long as you have conclusive evidence that I took Wen Xi away, then I will definitely apologize to you without a second word. So, please show us your evidence so that everyone will be convinced and not bluff. To be honest, this is really no different from a dog. ”

Wen Nuan was choked to the point of speechlessness, but she was unwilling to accept it.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from the direction of the stairs again. The person who appeared on the stairs was Fu Zhanglin, who had not come down from the beginning.

He held an exquisite walking stick in his hand and vaguely heard Wen Xi’s disappearance. He hurriedly shouted, “Wen Xi is missing. What’s the use of you making a fuss here? Hurry up and call the police. ”

Wen Nuan was already feeling uneasy. She was startled by Fu Zhanglin’s sudden voice. She responded and called 911.

Fu Zhanglin did not ask for details. He only asked her how Wen Xi had been lost.

Wen Nuan told him about how Wen Xi had gotten separated from her, only to receive a comment from Fu Zhanglin “You went out alone with the child, but you actually left the child behind and went to the washroom alone. In a few minutes, do you know that you can make a person prosper and ruin their reputation? ”

Fu Zhanglin’s words made Wen nuan tremble violently.

She thought that Fu Zhanglin liked her and did not even have principles or a bottom line. But now she finally understood that he did not have a bottom line, he had a bottom line, and this bottom line was Wen xi.

With Wen Xi, he could praise her to the sky.

But at the same time, without Wen Xi, she could only be an irrelevant passerby.

This understanding made her palms break out in cold sweat.

Fu Zhanglin didn’t say anything more. or rather, it was useless to say anything at a time like this. He could only pray that Wen Xi was fine and returned safely.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was already a little tense, but because of Wen Xi’s disappearance, it instantly dropped to the freezing point.

After the first few minutes of grief, Fu Zhanglin said in a low voice, “Xiao Shan, you have a lot of connections. Investigate how Xi Xi got lost. ”

Fu Qingshan nodded. “okay, I got it. ”

Wen nuan originally thought that her bluster just now would change everyone’s impression of Lin Yan, but she did not expect that it would backfire and make her the target of public criticism.

She frowned and began to feel annoyed at herself for being smart.

If she had carefully adjusted the restaurant’s surveillance cameras or the surrounding surveillance cameras to confirm who took Wen Xi away, it would be much more reliable than her bluster just now. This was really a mistake in her calculations.

Lin Yan was already very tired. After the battle just now, she looked even more tired. She reached out and tugged at the Hem of Fu Qingshan’s suit. “Fu Qingshan, I want to go back. I’m so tired and sleepy. I want to sleep well. ”

At this moment, the fragrance of the dishes drifted over. Suddenly, her stomach churned. She could not hold it in anymore and hurriedly ran in the direction of the washroom.

Fu Qingshan saw her jogging and chased after her to remind her softly, “Yan ‘er, slow down. You’re still pregnant. Be careful not to fall. ”

Fu Qingshan’s words were like a clap of thunder on the ground. Everyone in the restaurant was instantly woken up by the explosion.

But the warmth was blown beyond recognition.

She did not know what hit her heart, but she lost her rhythm immediately. She even felt suffocated for a few seconds.

She did not dare to imagine whether Lin Yan would replace her position if she was pregnant. She also did not dare to imagine whether she would surpass everything that she claimed to be unparalleled.

In short, she was very sad at that moment. It was a kind of sadness that was worse than death.

Fu Zhanglin and Yu Jing looked at each other, which made the atmosphere even more interesting.

After a while, Wen nuan asked in a low voice, “GRANDPA, grandma, Xixi hasn’t been found yet. I shouldn’t have asked such boring questions, but I still want to know what you will do to Xixi and me if Lin yan gets pregnant. ”

Her words made Fu Zhanglin and Yu Jing sink into a long period of contemplation. It was so long that Wen Nuan thought they wouldn’t answer. However, after about ten minutes, they said in unison, “I respect your young people’s choice. ”

Respect?

When had a family like the Fu family ever talked about respect?

She shook her head and smiled bitterly. Suddenly, she did not know what she was expecting. was she expecting Fu Zhanglin and Yu Jing to really love her?

How could that be?

They liked her and were willing to give her the chance to step into the Fu family because she was smart enough. Moreover, she had given birth to a smart and Cute great-grandson for them. Other than that, there was no other reason.

The living room fell into a long silence. On the other side of the bathroom, Lin Yan was lying on the toilet and vomiting.

Fu Qingshan squatted behind her and gently patted her back to ease her pain.

Lin Yan threw up everything in her stomach and sat on the toilet weakly. She didn’t want to move at all.

Fu Qingshan cleaned up her vomit and threw a wet towel to wipe her face, mouth, and hands. Then he bent down and carried her out. The people in the living room saw it and didn’t look surprised. Only the warm expression on their faces changed slightly However, it quickly returned to normal, so fast that no one noticed it.

…

After about twenty minutes, Xiao Bai put the surveillance footage of the restaurant and its surroundings on Fu Qingshan’s phone. After he connected it to the radar, he looked at the warmth and Wen Xi in the footage one by one.

He was a little far away, so he could not see their expressions. However, he always felt that Wen Xi was too reserved in front of her. That feeling did not feel like a happy mother and son relationship, but more like a stranger who was not related by blood Because only in a stranger would there be fear, he saw fear in Wen Xi.

After looking for a while, he finally saw the woman who led Wen Xi out of the restaurant.

In the picture, it was only the woman’s back, but from her figure and body, he could tell that she was someone he was very familiar with. As for where he had seen her before, he could not remember for a moment.

Wen nuan paced back and forth anxiously, afraid that something would happen to Wen Xi. Of course, she was also afraid that Wen xi would be fine, and then she would tell them that she asked him to stand as punishment, so they would lose each other.

Time passed, minute by minute. Every minute and second was extremely difficult to endure.

Lin Yan originally wanted to return to Qingshan villa to rest, but Fu Qingshan was afraid that she would go back alone without anyone to take care of her, so he directly let her go upstairs to rest.

She shook her head and was about to say that there was no need, when Fu Zhanglin opened his mouth and said, “since you’re pregnant, don’t try to be brave. HURRY UP AND GO REST! ”

Wen Nuan bit her lips, and her eyes reddened even more.

No one knew how much her heart hurt at this moment, and no one knew how afraid she was.

Lin Yan was too lazy to make a fuss. Besides, staying could make the warmth uncomfortable, so she stayed.
