Chapter 218 Guan Qing ran away

The sound of high heels came from the side.

The father and son turned to look at each other at the same time, their eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

"Daddy, Mommy is so beautiful!"

Zhou Songyan nodded blankly.

Li Mai's wedding dress was designed by an internationally renowned master and was just delivered a couple of days ago.

The wedding dress features a unique design with a cinched waist, making the waist appear even slimmer.

Her chest was covered by a white veil, revealing glimpses of her skin and creating a hazy, alluring beauty.

Chengcheng ran up to Limai, his bright eyes looking at her: "Mom, you're so beautiful!"

Li Mai touched her face and smiled, "Thank you, baby."

“My son looks very handsome in a suit.”

Chengcheng lowered his head shyly.

Zhou Songyan walked over and stood in front of them.

He gazed intently at Li Mai: "Wife, you're so beautiful!"

Li Mai couldn't stand the father and son, and felt embarrassed to praise them.

"I think the size is just right, no need to modify it."

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver the wedding dress to my home."

Their wedding will be held next Saturday.

Li Mai turned around and went to change out of her wedding dress.

Zhou Songyan's phone rang.

It's Sun Yuanjie.

He answered the call.

"Mr. Zhou, the mental hospital called and said that Guan Qing ran away this morning when no one was looking."

Zhou Songyan's expression changed.

"Send someone to look for it."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou."

Li Mai changed her clothes and came out, and saw from afar that Zhou Songyan's expression was not right.

She went over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Songyan said in a low voice, "Guan Qing ran away."

Li Mai was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Songyan: "I've already sent people to look for you, and I've assigned a few people to protect you and Chengcheng these next few days."

Li Mai didn't refuse: "Okay."

...

Guan Qing saw Zhou Songyan and his family of three happily walking out of the wedding dress shop, and she was so angry that she dug her nails into her flesh.

She was tortured in a mental hospital, so why is Li Mai so happy?

She hates it!

She hated that woman! And that child...

On the way back, Chengcheng asked, "Mom, can I have fried chicken today?"

"I haven't eaten this in a long time."

Li Mai's heart softened when she saw her son's pitiful appearance.

"Okay, I'll take you to eat."

Chengcheng smiled happily.

"Thank you, Mom!"

Zhou Songyan drove the car into the mall's parking garage.

After parking the car, the family of three took the elevator upstairs to the fried chicken restaurant.

It's very crowded on weekends.

Zhou Songyan went to queue up.

Li Mai helped Chengcheng find a seat.

Just then, a table of customers finished eating. After the staff finished cleaning up, Li Mai and Cheng Cheng sat down.

"Mom, I need to go to the toilet."

Li Mai usually lets him go by himself, but she was worried today, so she stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

...

The accessible restroom is broken and is currently under repair.

Chengcheng: "Mom, I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Li Mai: "Let's go to the men's room. Are you sure you can manage by yourself?"

Chengcheng nodded: "I can."

"Okay, go in by yourself. I'll wait for you at the door."

Chengcheng ran into the bathroom.

Li Mai waited for five minutes, but Chengcheng didn't come out.

She thought it would be crowded inside and she would have to wait in line.

Five more minutes passed, and Chengcheng still hadn't come out.

Zhou Songyan called: "Are you back?"

Li Mai: "Soon."

I hung up the phone.

Li Mai waited for another two minutes, a sense of unease rising within her.

She grabbed a man who was about to go inside and said, "Could you please check if there's a little boy this tall inside?"

She gestured.

The man nodded, indicating that he would help her take a look.

The man went in and came out a short while later saying he didn't have anything.

Li Mai turned pale with fright and rushed into the men's restroom while dialing Zhou Songyan's number.

"Honey, Chengcheng is missing. I'm in the restroom 100 meters from the fried chicken shop."

Zhou Songyan stood up abruptly and walked out.

"Honey, I'm coming right away."

Li Mai shouted loudly, "Chengcheng! Chengcheng, where are you?"

"Chengcheng, it's Mommy!"

No one answered.

She searched one room after another.

Just as I was about to push open the innermost bathroom door, it was pushed open from the inside.

Li Mai saw Guan Qing.

He was wearing a men's jacket and a baseball cap.

She had just seen this person; he came in after Chengcheng, his head bowed low, so she couldn't see his face.

Guan Qing looked at her with a sinister gaze: "Li Mai, long time no see."

Li Mai's hands were trembling. Her gaze shifted downwards and fell on Chengcheng lying on the ground.

“Chengcheng!!!”

Li Mai shouted loudly.

Her face was completely drained of color.

Li Mai pulled Guan Qing out and touched Chengcheng's face with trembling hands.

The usually lively little guy was lying quietly on the ground, his forehead was cut and bleeding.

"Chengcheng, it's Mommy. Please say something to me, okay? Don't scare Mommy..."

Guan Qing laughed maniacally: "Hahaha..."

"Who told him to be your and Zhou Songyan's son? Why should you be able to give birth to a son for Zhou Songyan?"

"You bitch! You've made my life so miserable, you won't have it easy either."

"You and your son should die together!"

Li Mai suddenly turned around and grabbed the knife that Guan Qing was thrusting at him.

The sharp blade cut Li Mai's hand.

"Guan Qing, you're a lunatic! Zhou Songyan never gave you any hope; it was all just your imagination. If you dare hurt Chengcheng, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Li Mai! If you hadn't shown up, Zhou Songyan would be mine. It's all your fault!"

"Guan Qing, even without me, Zhou Songyan wouldn't like a woman like you. No, no one would like a vicious person like you."

Guan Qing screamed in frustration, "Shut up!"

Li Mai sneered: "Did I hit a nerve?"

Guan Qing glared at her fiercely: "Li Mai, you're asking for it!"

She pressed the knife down hard on Li Mai.

"I'll kill you first! Then I'll kill your son!"

Li Mai: "You won't have a chance."

With a bang, Guan Qing was violently pulled away, flew out, crashed into the washbasin, and fell to the ground.

The knife clattered to the ground.

Zhou Songyan held Li Mai's hand, his eyes brimming with anger and worry.

"Wife."

"Honey, I'm fine. Take Chengcheng to the hospital quickly."

When Zhou Songyan saw Chengcheng in the small cubicle, her heart ached.

He strode over, picked up Chengcheng, and left quickly.

Li Mai didn't even bother to look at Guan Qing before leaving.

Guan Qing lay on the ground, watching the tall figure disappear into the distance, and roared, "Songyan! Zhou Songyan!"

Sun Yuanjie, who arrived with his men, subdued Guan Qing.

...

The Bentley sped along the road.

Li Mai hugged Chengcheng and cried her heart out.

Zhou Songyan knew that it was pointless to say anything now.

He was heartbroken, just like Li Mai.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Zhou Songyan took Chengcheng from Li Mai's arms and rushed into the hospital.

The doctor wheeled Chengcheng into the operating room.

Zhou Songyan held Li Mai's hand: "The surgery will take a while, let me take you to get bandaged first."

Li Mai shook her head: "My hand is fine. I'll wait here. Chengcheng will worry if he doesn't see me when he comes out."

Zhou Songyan didn't force her and asked the doctor to disinfect and bandage her at the entrance of the operating room.

After the doctor finished treating the patient and left...

Zhou Songyan pulled Li Mai into his arms: "Don't worry, Chengcheng will be fine."
