In the following days, Xiaozhu stopped sending videos home, and the signal was lost. He must have gone into the mountains. Ye Qingqing went back to her parents' home. Ye Mingcheng's clinic was still thriving, and many neighbors were sitting under the grape trellis in the Ye family's yard, enjoying the cool air and chatting.

With Wuchen not at home, Ye Mingcheng had no idea where the girl had gone. As Wuchen grew up, he became more and more lax in his discipline. Wuchen often stayed away from home for ten days or half a month at a time, but Ye Mingcheng was not worried. He figured that no scoundrel in the world could bully Wuchen had been born yet.

"Dad, this isn't right. Wuchen is a grown woman now. If she keeps running wild outside all the time, what man will want to marry her? Call her and tell her to come back right away." Ye Qingqing really disagreed with Ye Mingcheng's way of raising her.

To be honest, her biological father was even more unreliable than Ye Zhiguo before. However, Ye Zhiguo was ruthless, while Ye Mingcheng was too soft-hearted and had no authority in front of his children, especially Wuchen, whom he couldn't control at all.

"I can't call her, she says she's out of service area. It's fine, if she doesn't want to marry me, she doesn't have to. Anyway, I've saved enough money for her to live on." Ye Mingcheng acted like a nice guy.

Ye Qingqing felt a tightness in her chest. Her father didn't even try, and just gave up on Wuchen. How could he possibly live a comfortable life as a bachelor for the rest of his life? Even if he didn't get married, he should at least experience the taste of love, right?

But given Wuchen's wild and untamed personality, which man would dare to date her?

They were scared out of their wits and disappeared long ago.

Ye Qingqing called Wuchen, but as expected, he said he was out of service area. She tried calling several times, but the result was the same. She wondered which desolate place the brat had run off to.

“When that brat comes back, let her stay at my place for a few days. I’ll take care of her. What kind of behavior is it to run around outside all the time? Dad… you need to show some authority and not be so easy to talk to.”

Ye Mingcheng smiled gently, "As long as Wuchen is happy, that's all that matters. Qingqing, you can't worry about her right now. We won't interfere with that girl's affairs. Anyway, no one dares to bully her."

"It's all your fault for spoiling him. He's become lawless. I can't be bothered to talk to you."

Ye Qingqing was exasperated and stomped her feet a few times. Ye Mingcheng's indifferent nature was driving her crazy. Just like Gu Nianci, this mother and son were just like Yingchun in Dream of the Red Chamber. The emperor wasn't worried, but the eunuch was. However, they were luckier than Yingchun.

Gu Nianci had an old lady to take care of her, while her father, Ye Mingcheng, met her mother, Xu Ya Hui. Otherwise, with the Buddhist nature of these two, how could they survive in this cannibalistic world? They would have been devoured long ago.

A few days later, Ye Mingcheng became really anxious. Wuchen had been gone for half a month, but he still hadn't come home, and his phone was unreachable. This had never happened before; at most, he would go out for half a month and then come home.

"Now you're worried? I told you to discipline this brat more strictly, but you insisted on 'happy education.' Now this brat is practically out of control." Ye Qingqing was actually a little worried, but she couldn't help but tease her a bit.

They only look for her when something goes wrong. If they had kept Wuchen in check earlier, none of this would have happened.

“I definitely won’t let her go out this time, but where has she gone? I can’t get through to her on the phone, and I don’t have any definite news. Oh dear… I hope nothing bad has happened to her.” Ye Mingcheng was extremely anxious. His unwavering faith in his youngest daughter was now wavering.

Two fists can't beat four hands. Wuchen is indeed quite good at fighting, but if the opponent has more people, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
