Li Hongxia had had enough.

She didn't want to stay in this wretched place and suffer any more.

She called out to Shen Xu, who was standing next to Ning Yanshu, "Xu, come here. Come to Grandma's side."

Chen Xu shook his head like a rattle-drum.

Then he hid behind Ning Yanshu again.

Li Hongxia felt that her high blood pressure was about to rise by several kPa again: "Even you're going to upset Grandma, aren't you!"

Shen Xu remained unmoved.

Zhong Yan was somewhat surprised by his dependence on Ning Yanshu.

There was a hint of unfathomable meaning in his eyes.

She feigned concern and asked, "Ah Xu, where have you been? Do you know how worried Grandma was about you?"

"Is there a bad guy trying to hurt you? Or did someone kidnap you on purpose?" Zhong Yan's gaze kept drifting towards Shen Fu, intentionally or unintentionally. "Don't be afraid. If anyone bullies you, just tell Grandma, and we'll stand up for you."

Shen Xu shook his head frantically.

Realizing that he might be causing trouble for Xiaoshu and his third brother, he wanted to speak up and explain.

But because of autism, he was suddenly facing so many people in the ward.

Fear and timidity prevented him from uttering a complete sentence.

His hand, which was gripping Ning Yanshu's clothes, began to tremble.

His body trembled even more violently.

Sensing Shen Xu's panic, Ning Yanshu shoved them away: "You're not allowed to bully the little brother, and you're not allowed to lie and frame my dad! I found the little brother in the Disney restroom, it wasn't a kidnapping!!"

Li Hongxia and Zhong Yan were not the only ones who heard Ning Yanshu's explanation.

Even Ning Wan and Shen Fu were stunned.

How could Ning Yanshu know where Shen Xu was? ...

...

Seeing that Shen Xu still refused to return to her side, Li Hongxia couldn't help but get angry: "Shen Xu, are you really not coming back?!"

Seeing her anger, Shen Xu lifted his foot in fear.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he took another step back.

Zhong Yan gestured to Shen Yurong beside her with her eyes.

Although somewhat reluctant, Shen Yurong still roughly pulled Shen Xu over.

"Ahhh..." Shen Xu screamed and struggled.

His palm slapped Shen Yurong hard across the face.

As his fingernails grazed her cheek, Shen Yurong hissed in pain: "You brat, if you don't behave, I'm really going to hit you!"

Ignoring Shen Xu's resistance, he forcibly pulled him to his side.

Ning Yanshu rushed over to help, but was stopped by Ning Wan: "Mom?..."

Ning Wan gently shook her head at him.

Leaving aside whether they have the right to take Shen Xu away, even if they did, Old Madam Shen would never agree to it.

It was clear that Shen Xu was about to be taken away by Zhong Yan and her son.

Ning Yanshu suddenly ran to Shen Fu's side.

Then she went to Shen Xu and hugged him, saying, "Don't worry, big brother, we'll meet again in the future!"

It's strange, really.

Shen Xu, who had just reacted strongly, suddenly fell silent.

Until leaving, she showed no further struggle or resistance.

After they left, Ning Yanshu came to her senses.

He looked at Shen Fu and Ning Wan with some confusion, "Mom and Dad, you're staring at me like that... I'll get shy. (￣??)"

Ning Wan: "..."

Shen Fu: "Why did you give him my phone watch just now?"

Others may not have seen it clearly, but Shen Fu saw it perfectly.

Just now, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Ning Yanshu swiftly snatched his phone watch.

During the brief moment of the hug, he slipped the watch into Chen Xu's coat pocket.

"Because I'm really worried about the young man~"

After saying that, Ning Yanshu stuck out her tongue playfully: "It's just a watch. Dad is so generous and handsome, he definitely won't mind, right?"

"But that was a gift from Wanwan."

The implication is that he minds it very much.

I mind very much.

Helpless, Ning Yanshu could only turn his pleading gaze to Ning Wan again: "Mom..."

Ning Wan sighed.

Resignedly, he acted as a peacemaker: "Fine, I'll buy you a new one when we get back... Don't be angry~"

To appease him, Ning Wan tried to hold Shen Fu's large hand.

The next instant, their fingers intertwined tightly.

"Okay!~"

Shen Fu answered quickly.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corners of his slightly parted lips.

Ning Wan's tension eased considerably after this little farce...

...

That evening, at Shen Fu's insistence, he was discharged from the hospital and went home.

Song Mengwan and Zhao Shuigen also went home.

In order to continue observing the villains, 057 decided to stay.

Back downstairs in the apartment complex, there was still that familiar brazier and the peach wood branch that Old Mrs. Chen had just picked.

When she saw the bandage wrapped around Shen Fu's forehead, Old Mrs. Chen was filled with heartache: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

...

When you get home, close the door.

Before Ning Wan could speak, Ning Yanshu swiftly knelt down with a thud.

057 was utterly dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"

Ning Yanshu ignored it, pinched her ear and obediently apologized: "I'm sorry, Mom, Xiaoshu knows she was wrong."

Ning Wan didn't rush to wake him up, but instead asked, "What did you do wrong?"

“Xiao Shu shouldn’t have run away on her own, and she shouldn’t have brought people back without permission.” Ning Yanshu said, “Because Mom said, don’t pick up strange men, or you’ll end up like Li Chengyin or Fu Shenxing.”

Although he couldn't understand what his mother said, he carefully remembered every word she said.
