Chapter 187 The father and son acted with perfect teamwork

Murong Chen, playing along with his father's acting, feigned disappointment: "Ah, is there really no way we can do anything about it?"

Murong Ting remained silent.

Kong Mengjiao, on the other hand, felt a surge of passion in her heart.

It's true what they say, when you're sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow.

She took a deep breath, trying to maintain her smile and prevent her excitement from showing: "Brother Ting, if you really want to get custody of the children, I have a way. But if I help you, I hope that in addition to lifting the ban on the Kong family, you can also invest 1 billion yuan in the Kong family for free."

Upon hearing this, Murong Ting feigned deep thought, and after a long while, asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Do you really have a way?"

Seeing this, Kong Mengjiao quickly spoke up: "That's right, Brother Ting, our family has Kong Wange's mother's belongings. She valued these things very much. If you use these to threaten her, it will definitely help you fight her for custody of the other two children!"

Murong Ting leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, "How do I know if what you're saying is true?"

Seeing that Murong Ting still doubted her, Kong Mengjiao became a little anxious: "Brother Ting, if you don't believe me, I can call my sister right now, and you'll see how much she values ​​these things."

Murong Ting paused slightly, then said, "I believe Miss Kong's words. Then I'll trouble you to make the trip home."

The man's voice was deep and slightly hoarse. Kong Mengjiao blushed and said shyly, "It's no trouble at all. I'm more than happy to be able to help Brother Ting."

Murong Ting remained silent. Kong Mengjiao gritted her teeth, gripped her phone, and quickly left.

As her figure completely disappeared into the coffee shop, Murong Chen said, "Daddy, your acting is pretty good."

Murong Ting glanced at his son: "Do you think I'm like you? That's pretentious."

Murong Chen snorted: "What do you know? I'm afraid she'll be too reserved and won't take the bait, okay?"

Thinking of his little face, she became a little worried: "Daddy, do you think she won't come back?"

"Won't."

"Are you so sure?"

"She didn't take her bag."

Murong Chen looked at her seat and saw that it really was there; a delicate white handbag was placed on the stool.

It seems she really is going back to get something.

Murong Chen couldn't help but feel happy at the thought that he would soon get what his mother wanted.

Beside him, Murong Ting's expression also showed a hint of relaxation.

A short while later, Kong Mengjiao returned carrying a bag.

“Brother Ting, look.” She sat down and opened the bag: “These are the things left behind by Kong Wange’s mother.”

Murong Ting and Murong Chen both looked into the bag at the same time.

The two of them fell silent the moment they saw what was inside.

Inside the bag was only a fist-sized rock riddled with holes and oddly shaped.

Murong Chen couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Mengjiao, are you sure... this is a keepsake left by my grandmother? Is there nothing else?"

Kong Mengjiao coughed lightly and said, "That's all, just this one stone. Although I don't know what it's for, it's definitely something my sister's mother left behind!"

Actually, she picked out this stone from that pile of broken relics.

Although she was eager to prove herself to Murong Ting, she still felt a little uneasy.

It's absolutely impossible for her to hand over all her belongings.

So after much deliberation, she finally picked up this seemingly worthless broken stone.

If Murong Ting and the others change their minds later, she won't lose anything; the remaining relics will still be enough to threaten Kong Wange.

She had a brilliant plan in mind and thought she was incredibly clever!

Murong Ting picked up the stone and fiddled with it for a moment. He realized that even if Kong Mengjiao wanted to deceive him, there was no need for her to bring out a stone. This was too outrageous. He pondered for a moment and said, "I will accept this stone for now. If it can indeed help me control Kong Wange and win custody, then I can naturally agree to Miss Kong's conditions."

Hearing him say that, Kong Mengjiao felt reassured, and her eyes lit up with a smile: "Then I'll wait for Brother Ting's good news."

After saying that, she picked up her small bag and swayed away.

Murong Chen looked at the stone in Murong Ting's hand and whispered, "Daddy, what use is a stone? Is it really what Mommy wants?"

Murong Ting also had some doubts, but then he suppressed them.

He carefully wrapped the stone and lectured Murong Chen: "What do you know? Since this stone was left by your grandmother, it is definitely not an ordinary stone. Who knows, it might contain gold and jade inside, and bring longevity!"

Murong Chen was convinced: "Daddy, you're right. Let's take it back to Mommy now, she'll be so happy to see it!"

Murong Ting hummed in agreement, and the two of them, carrying the stone, joined Lin Cheng and the others before rushing home.

After finishing her phone call with Kong Zhizhao in the old house, Kong Wange couldn't fall asleep.

After lying in bed for a while, she went out of the house and strolled around the yard, thinking of various plans on how to steal the belongings.

My mother has passed away. It would be best if I could get her clothes, but it's not a big problem if I can't. The most important thing is the key.

The key is most likely among the mother's belongings.

Given Zhou Liru's jealous nature, these things will probably be thrown into the basement or attic, out of sight, out of mind.

However, the Kong family's basement and attic both require keys to open, so to get the items, you first need to get the keys from Kong Zhizhao.

The thought of this gave Kong Wange a headache—

This task is way too difficult.

Just as I was feeling down, a joyful little voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate: "Mommy, come out quickly, see what good things Daddy brought you!"

Kong Wange was slightly taken aback.

nice one?

What good things could Murong Ting give her?

In the blink of an eye, Murong Ting and the three little ones entered the courtyard.

She could see Murong Ting holding something in his hands from a distance, his face beaming with joy.

I just felt that he had been acting really strangely lately.

A moment later, the man approached and said carefully and gently, "Wanwan, you're awake?"

"Hmm, what's that thing you're holding?" Kong Wange asked curiously.

"Oh, right, this is for you!" Murong Ting picked up the stone with both hands and presented it to her face like a treasure, his eyes full of expectation: "See if you like it?"

Kong Wange took the black stone riddled with holes, her face full of confusion: "This is... what you wanted to give me? A... stone?"

Murong Ting, oblivious to Kong Wange's speechlessness, was beaming with excitement: "Wanwan, feel it and see if there's any difference between this stone and ordinary stones?"

Kong Wange: "...Yes."

Murong Ting's eyes lit up: "Right? I knew it..."

Kong Wange continued, "It's black and tattered!"

Murong Ting: "???"

The three little ones: "!!!"

Lin Cheng: "..."
