"You've come at the right time." Gao Hongfei nodded to the mental hospital caregivers, pointed to Chen Xiaomo and Lin Wan, and said, "Take them both back."
Lin Wan panicked upon hearing this and screamed, "I'm not sick! You have no right to lock me up in a mental hospital without my permission!"
The caregivers looked at each other in bewilderment. They had agreed to take one person back with them when they came, so why was there suddenly another one?
They looked at Gao Hongfei with confusion.
"Take the person back first, and I'll explain to Dean Li later," Gao Hongfei said.
When they came out, Dean Li specifically instructed them that this was the big spender, and that he was the one who made the decisions.
Several caregivers nodded and all turned to surround Lin Wan.
The other one is still lying down; you can tell at a glance that she doesn't require much effort. But this one looks like she'll be difficult to deal with, even though she's already an elderly lady.
Lin Wan looked at the several tall and burly caregivers in front of her, knowing she couldn't avoid them, so she ran straight to Chen Xiaoxia's side and slapped her hard across the face: "Are you dead? You saw so many of them bullying your mother, and you didn't even say a word?"
Chen Xiaoxia glanced at Lin Wan expressionlessly, paused for a moment, then turned to the caregivers and said, "My mother has lost her mind and is quite ill. Please arrest her and take her back to be locked up. I am her daughter and can testify to that."
The caregivers were stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. They had been worried about procedural irregularities, but now everything was in order.
Lin Wan was stunned, unable to believe that her daughter, who had always been obedient to her, would say such rebellious things.
She immediately came to her senses, and in a fit of rage, grabbed Chen Xiaoxia's hair and slapped her repeatedly: "You beast, how dare you say such a thing? I'm your mother, I'm your mother!"
Chen Xiaoxia didn't dodge, letting her hit her until she was tired. Then, with her slightly swollen face, she looked over and said, "I really am worse than an animal. As a mother, I have never properly protected her, letting her be schemed against by you time and time again. Now, it's time to pay the price."
Lin Wan, panting heavily, glared at her with a ferocious expression, raising her hand as if to strike again.
Chen Xiaomo, lying in Chen Xiaxia's arms, suddenly stirred and slowly opened her eyes, waking up. The madness that had filled her eyes before was gone, replaced by clear, innocent eyes, like those of a child.
Chen Xiaoxia asked with delight, "Xiao Mo, you're awake?"
Chen Xiaomo rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked around, and seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, she couldn't help but shrink into Chen Xiaoxia's arms in fear, asking, "Mom, where is this? Didn't we agree to go to the amusement park together?"
She seems to have forgotten what happened before.
"Xiao Mo accidentally fell asleep, so Mom brought him here to rest for a while. We'll go to the amusement park later," Chen Xiaoxia said, looking pleadingly at Gao Hongfei, hoping he could be lenient and not send them back to the mental hospital so soon.
Gao Hongfei met Chen Xiaomo's clear eyes, hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
When Chen Xiaomo saw Gao Hongfei, she felt inexplicably afraid and hid in Chen Xiaoxia's arms again.
Chen Xiaoxia looked at Gao Hongfei with gratitude, and quickly pulled Chen Xiaomo to her feet: "Come on, Mom will take you to the amusement park."
Seeing that Gao Hongfei was hesitant about Chen Xiaomo, Lin Wan didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. She immediately moved closer to Chen Xiaomo, forced a smile, and said urgently, "Grandma too, Grandma will go with Xiaomo too."
When Chen Xiaomo saw Lin Wan, a pure smile appeared on her face: "Okay, okay, okay, Xiaomo likes Grandma the most."
Lin Wan also smiled and said, "Grandma likes Xiao Mo the most too."
The people present, including Chen Xiaoxia, couldn't help but show expressions of disgust.
I've never seen anyone so shameless.
Xing Zhaozhao couldn't hold back any longer. She suddenly stood up, walked straight over, and pulled Lin Wan away from Chen Xiaomo.
"Grandma probably won't be able to go to the amusement park with Xiaomo. My sister has something very important to ask Grandma for help. Can Xiaomo lend Grandma to my sister for the time being?" Xing Zhaozhao asked Chen Xiaomo with a smile.
Chen Xiaomo tilted her head and looked at Xing Zhaozhao for a while: "Have I seen you somewhere before, sister?"
Xing Zhaozhao smiled and nodded: "We've met in a dream before, and we're very close."
"In that case, let's lend Grandma to my sister for now," Chen Xiaomo said generously.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Mo. Don't worry, Xiao Mo, you'll see Grandma when you get home tonight," Xing Zhaozhao said.
When Lin Wan realized her lifeline was about to disappear, she panicked. She opened her mouth to say something, but Xing Zhaozhao quickly covered her mouth and dragged her away.
Chen Xiaoxia quickly seized the opportunity to pull Chen Xiaomo away: "Come on, Xiaomo, let's go to the amusement park right away."
Chen Xiaomo responded with an "Oh," and then suddenly stopped as she passed by Gao Yang.
Gao Yang stood there nervously, not daring to move, his heart pounding rapidly.
Chen Xiaomo looked up at Gao Yang, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. She raised her hand to touch his face, and a tear suddenly rolled down her cheek.
"Huh?" She wiped away her tears, puzzled. "Why am I crying?"
Chen Xiaoxia bit her lip tightly, trying her best to hold back her sobs.
"I like you, little brother. Can you come play with me?" Chen Xiaomo looked at Gao Yang, a smile quickly spreading across her face as she asked.
Gao Yang's throat tightened, and he looked at Gao Hongfei questioningly. Seeing that Gao Hongfei agreed, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Gao Yang and Chen Xiaoxia, along with Chen Xiaomo, quickly left.
Seeing her last hope vanish completely, Lin Wan was furious.
"You shameless wretch! If I hadn't brought you to the capital, you'd still be begging for food in some remote mountain village. You're so ungrateful! You're treacherous!" Lin Wan cursed angrily, struggling to hit Xing Zhaozhao.
Xing Zhaozhao, of course, wouldn't give her a chance, holding her tightly: "I really do want to thank you. If you hadn't brought me here, I really wouldn't have been able to find Mingcheng so quickly. However, although I'm begging for food in this remote mountain village, I don't need your measly little profit. Before, I made a million just from selling that wooden box to Qin Shi."
Lin Wan was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Since you're not short of money, why are you so eager to come to the capital with me?"
“Of course I came to see Mingcheng,” Xing Zhaozhao said. “I lost contact with Mingcheng after his accident, and I’m so glad you brought me here.”
"Besides..." Xing Zhaozhao paused, then leaned close to Lin Wan's ear and said in a voice almost only the two of them could hear, "Of course, I need to keep a close eye on you. Knowing that you're plotting against my husband and son, do you expect me to just stand by and do nothing, like last time, letting you use my name to manipulate my son?"
Lin Wan suddenly realized something, a look of fear involuntarily appearing on her face. Her whole body trembled, and she cried out, "You are..."
