Wen Rou Rou was forcibly held by the maid, twisting her small body wildly and crying loudly.
The little hand reached out towards Wen Shu, "Shu Shu..."
Zhong Wanwan glanced at Jiang Yuanchao.
Jiang Yuanchao tried his best to avoid looking at Wen Shu, controlling himself to not act impulsively.
Zhong Wanwan tugged at his collar, reminding him to make a good impression.
He took a deep breath and walked over. "Wen Shu, you go back first. We can talk about it later..."
He grabbed Wen Shu's arm and, together with the security guards, tried to pull her out.
When Wen Shu saw him standing elegantly and calmly in front of her, her eyes immediately reddened, and she uttered a single word: "Get out!"
Jiang Yuanchao froze, "Wen Shu!"
Zhong Wanwan was secretly pleased with herself. She had better be even crazier, really crazy!
Su Ying quickly spoke up: "What are you all standing there for? Kick her out!"
Wen Shu gritted her teeth and cursed, "Su Ying, you heartless and vicious woman!"
Su Ying looked at her crazy appearance and curled her lips. At this moment, who wouldn't say that Wen Shu was crazy, and who would care what she was cursing?
Li Duo looked at the child, then at the woman who was frantically reaching out to the child.
His eyes darkened involuntarily.
"Wait a moment!"
When he spoke, everyone froze in place.
Li Duo looked at Zhong Tingsong: "Brother-in-law, do you know where this child came from?"
Zhong Tingsong was taken aback. Of course he didn't know, and he didn't intend to snatch anyone's child. He just wanted to smooth things over so as not to lose face.
If it really is this woman's child, then we can just let her take it back later.
He winked at Li Duo, "A Duo, it's alright. It's rare for you to come today, so don't meddle in women's affairs. She's just a crazy woman; don't let such a trivial matter spoil everyone's mood. Let's go upstairs!"
Li Duo then asked, "Does your brother-in-law know that the child is hers?"
Zhong Tingsong's expression stiffened for a moment. He hadn't expected Li Duo to disagree with him. "A Duo, I already said, this is a relative's child."
Li Duo ignored Zhong Tingsong's words, instead tilting his head slightly and asking expressionlessly, "Is that your child?"
Wen Shu had already been dragged to the corner, and she nodded frantically, "Yes! My little darling!"
"Go and get the baby!"
Wen Shu looked at him with a hint of disbelief.
She rushed upstairs, snatched the little one from the maid's arms, and quickly took off her coat to wrap the little guy up tightly.
Her clothes were torn by those crazy women, revealing glimpses of her fair skin.
Wen Rou Rou hugged her neck and cried pitifully, "Shu Shu, let's go home!"
"Okay, Shushu will take Rou Rou home now!"
Su Ying's face darkened. Hadn't she ordered the little beast to be locked in the bedroom bathroom? How did he get out?
Li Duo waited for her to come down with the child before saying, "You can ask for compensation."
Zhong Wanwan suddenly became anxious, "Uncle, why should she make the demands? She's unemployed right now, she's a vagrant, she's bound to ask for an exorbitant amount!"
Li Duo looked at her sharply, "Is this why you took her child?"
"I don't……"
Meeting Li Duo's gaze, Zhong Wanwan lowered her head.
She glared at Wen Shu with hatred, letting her take that little beast away so easily was such a good thing for her!
Wen Shu hugged Wen Rou Rou to cover her tattered clothes.
She went outside and said, "My only request is that no one connected to the Zhong family ever appears in front of me again."
After she finished speaking, she carried the child and limped away.
Jiang Yuanchao's gaze fell on the ground, where shards of glass had pierced her foot, leaving a trail of bloody footprints.
Zhong Wanwan immediately said, "Uncle, why are you helping that crazy woman? She almost burned our house down just now, she's a lunatic!"
Li Duo spoke up, "Whether she's crazy or not isn't important. What's important is why her child is in the Zhong family?"
Before Su Ying could speak, Zhong Wanwan explained, "Actually, she's a distant relative of Aunt Su. She's held a grudge against Aunt Su because of a misunderstanding, and Aunt Su is determined to make amends..."
"Was the child brought to the Zhong family with the parents' consent?" Li Duo asked directly.
Zhong Wanwan stammered, "Aunt Su actually wanted to help her..."
"The child was taken away, but does the child's family know?"
Zhong Wanwan was finally stumped by the question and dared not utter a word.
Su Ying also shrank back behind the people.
Zhong Tingsong's face turned ashen. "Aying, I know you're kind-hearted and want to help your poor relatives, but some people don't know what's good for them. Don't do this kind of thing again. You help them, but they don't appreciate it and even turn around and blame you."
"I know, I just felt sorry for her, I never expected..." Su Ying sighed, her face full of heartache.
Now all the blame is on her. It's all that wretched girl Wen Shu's fault for making her lose face like this!
Li Duo's gaze fell on the flat shoe. "I won't be staying at the banquet tonight. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Zhong Tingsong was a little anxious: "Aduo, don't let such a small matter spoil the mood..."
The distinguished guests who came to the banquet that evening were all there for Li Duo. What would happen to them if he left?
...
In the suburbs, Wen Shu carried Wen Rou Rou and limped along the roadside. It was getting dark and there were very few cars on the road.
She walked slower and slower.
Wen Rou Rou wrapped her arms around her neck and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Shu Shu, are you tired?"
"Not tired. Shushu is incredibly strong when she's holding Rou Rou; she could hold him forever." Wen Shu, panting slightly, asked casually, "Was Shushu's acting good just now? Was Rou Rou scared?"
Wen Rou Rou pressed her face against it, rubbed against it, and whined, "Shu Shu is silly, that's not good."
He kissed Wen Shu's face hard, saying, "Shu Shu, don't be afraid, Rou Rou will protect you."
Wen Shu's nose tingled, and she almost cried. She choked out, "Yes, my Rou Rou is the most reliable little man in the world."
A silver Bentley Flying Spur approached from afar, its imposing presence mirroring its owner's. Wen Shu quickly moved aside to let it pass.
Wen Shu dragged her feet and continued to move forward while holding Rou Rou.
The car that had been driving by suddenly stopped and reversed, moving to a position alongside Wen Shu.
The car window rolled down, and a flat shoe was thrown out.
"Put your shoes on and get in the car."
He sat in the back with his head down, his tone as domineering and forceful as he was.
Wen Shu looked at him warily. Li Duo glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and, seeing that she didn't move, looked up expressionlessly. "Not leaving?"
He's always been cold-hearted and indifferent; he doesn't have much compassion. If she doesn't leave, she's being ungrateful.
If it weren't for what happened tonight, he wouldn't have given this woman a second glance, even if she were on the road to her death.
