Chapter 307 Kidnapping
After hearing what Shao's mother said, Shao's father also fell silent.
During this time, they had been enduring Shao Ziyu's harassment, all for the sake of that possible chance to get news of their child.
Even if the possibility is already very, very small.
After all, more than twenty years have passed.
Looking at the silent father and the old man who hadn't spoken a word, he saw...
Finally, Shao's mother couldn't hold back her tears and said "I'm sorry" to Su Xiangwan and the other two before turning around and going upstairs.
Even though she walked quickly, she still couldn't hold back her emotions halfway through, and couldn't help but choke out a sob.
The entire restaurant fell silent instantly.
Mr. Shao sighed and said, "Dad, Xiang Wan, Yan Fei, Yi Rou, I'll go upstairs and keep her company."
Su Xiangwan and the other two watched Shao's father leave without saying another word.
Grandpa Shao gestured for them to continue eating, and then said, "Ever since my daughter-in-law found out that her own daughter had been switched, she has been silently shedding tears."
“These days, I have endured Shao Ziyu’s frequent harassment without having her driven away directly because I am worried that if Shao Ziyu really leaves and never appears again, she will really have no chance to find her daughter.”
"Today, after you arrived, she was able to chat and laugh with you during the meal, which was beyond my expectations. Perhaps... you are about the same age as the child who was switched, and seeing you gives her something to look forward to!"
Grandpa Shao did not try to persuade Xu Yirou to acknowledge him back just because of what happened today.
Instead, he calmly and slowly told the three of them about the situation of Shao's father and mother during this period.
Xu Yirou felt incredibly conflicted as she listened to Grandpa Shao's words.
Perhaps, her decision to avoid acknowledging her family was a mistake...
The meal ended in a somber atmosphere.
After the three said their goodbyes, they got into their car and drove towards the Gu family home, watched by Old Master Shao.
"sister in law."
Inside the jeep, Xu Yirou, somewhat dejected, said, "Do you think I should reveal my identity to them?"
Today, seeing Shao's mother's barely concealed sorrow yet forced smile, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
Su Xiangwan gently took her hand and said, "No one can make this choice for you. Only you know what you really want!"
Xu Yirou pursed her lips, her mind flashing with the loving and expectant gaze of Old Master Shao, the helpless and sad look on Father Shao's face, and Mother Shao's choked sob filled with sorrow.
She raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, before she spoke.
But at that moment, a person suddenly darted out from the alley entrance.
Wang Zhengyu instinctively slammed on the brakes, and then saw the man fall directly in front of the car.
"What happened?" Su Xiangwan asked.
"Young Miss, it seems you've accidentally bumped into someone. I'll go down and check."
As Wang Zhengyu spoke, he opened the car door and got out, walking to the car and trying to help the person up.
Unexpectedly, the man swung his hand back and threw a handful of lime powder into his eyes.
"ah!"
Caught off guard, Wang Zhengyu was completely blinded.
Then, the man grabbed a stone hidden behind him and smashed it down on Wang Zhengyu's head.
The other party was extremely ruthless, completely disregarding Wang Zhengyu's life or death.
A stone was thrown down, smashing Wang Zhengyu's head and causing blood to splatter everywhere.
He didn't even utter a sound before he passed out.
"Brother Wang!"
Upon seeing this, Su Xiangwan and the others sitting in the car immediately cried out in surprise.
Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanfei's first reaction was to rush out of the car, wanting to save Wang Zhengyu.
Unexpectedly, a group of people rushed out of the alley and surrounded them and the entire car.
"Don't move! Miss Gu, Miss Su, you'd better behave yourselves, otherwise, if I accidentally cut your pretty faces with this knife, that wouldn't be good!"
The leader leered at Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanfei, then said to the people behind him, "There's another one in that car, go and bring her down!"
Xu Yirou was sitting in the car.
The reason she didn't get out of the car was because she knew very well that compared to Gu Yanfei and Su Xiangwan, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, she was practically powerless.
Rather than getting off the bus and making things worse, it's better to stay in the bus and not cause them any trouble.
However, neither of them expected that the other side would have so many people, and that they were clearly prepared.
Upon seeing the other party approaching to arrest her, Xu Yirou wisely chose to get out of the car to avoid unnecessary suffering.
"Who are you? Since you know who we are, you should know that we are not people you can mess with."
Su Xiangwan forced herself to calm down.
If she were alone, she could do whatever she wanted without any worries, since she had a safety net to back her up.
Whether it's self-defense or killing the enemy, there's no problem.
But now, with Gu Yanfei and Xu Yirou by her side, she must calm down and come up with a foolproof plan to ensure that Gu Yanfei and Xu Yirou are not harmed.
"If we could, we certainly wouldn't want to be enemies with the Gu family. However, we're a bit short on cash lately and would like to borrow some money from the Gu and Su families."
The leading man looked at Su Xiangwan with a forced smile and spoke.
"Since that's the case... take me with you and release the two of them. They can go back and send a message so my family can prepare money for you."
Su Xiangwan felt a little more at ease. It was just a matter of money, so it was much simpler.
"sister in law!"
Gu Yanfei and Xu Yirou were both anxious.
"Sister-in-law, let me be the hostage! You..." Gu Yanfei glanced at Su Xiangwan's belly.
Her sister-in-law is still pregnant!
If she went with this group and something went wrong, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Xu Yirou also looked at Su Xiangwan with disapproval.
She shared the same thought, but she knew very well that she wasn't a member of the Gu family, and even if she wanted to help Su Xiangwan, these people probably wouldn't agree.
As for the imposters, don't forget that these people recognized Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanfei at a glance and greeted them precisely.
It's clear they've been planning this for quite some time.
"Little sister, don't speak."
Su Xiangwan shook her head at Gu Yanfei.
The leading man chuckled and said, "Miss Su's suggestion is good, but in my opinion, it would be more reassuring to take both of you with us. That way, we'd have more leverage, wouldn't we?"
