Just as I was feeling frustrated, my phone rang at the perfect moment.
"Uncle Li! Why are you calling me so late? Is something the matter?"
Li Xiuming sighed, "That's right! I've already found out Xi Zhihui's exact location. What are your plans for the next step?"
Chu Jiangyi raised his voice, "Found it? Where?"
"Xinjiang City!"
Chu Jiang couldn't help but admire him in his heart; he was quite good at hiding his true abilities.
"That old fox knows how to find a place. Xinjiang City is vast and boundless, a good place to hide. Uncle Li, have you inquired whether Xi Zhihui is alone there or with someone else?"
Li Xiuming sighed again, "You guessed right, it's not one person, it's three people, and they have a four-year-old son among them."
Chu Jiang frowned. "I really didn't expect that Xi Zhihui, such an honest and simple man, could do something like this. Luckily, the two didn't remarry, otherwise it would be bigamy. That woman is really tolerant, willing to stay with him even without a title or status. The woman beside him deserves a lot of credit. She's still married to Lin Bifan, yet she managed to have a mistress. She's truly amazing, I'm impressed!"
Li Xiuming felt helpless and unwilling to comment on these messy matters; there was simply no need to comment.
So what are your plans next?
Chu Jiang also sneered, "Bring them back to me at all costs. Don't forget they're a family of three."
"I know what to do."
"Thank you, Uncle Li!"
"Hey! There's no need for us to be so polite!"
Chu Jiang exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up the phone, his eyes fixed on the bathroom door.
This is something I absolutely have to tell Xi Ran.
He was at a loss for words, but he had to admit that Uncle Li was always very efficient and should bring the person back tomorrow. He needed to give Xi Ran enough time to prepare herself.
Things always have to be faced; if they aren't resolved, there will always be a knot in the sand.
As soon as Xi Ran opened the bathroom door, Chu Jiangyi strode forward, pulled her head, and led her to sit down on the sofa in the living room.
"What's wrong? You look so miserable. Who owes you money?"
Chu Jiangyi rolled his eyes at her. He was so worried that his hair had turned white, and she still had the mood to joke.
Regardless, Chu Jiangyi had to tell Xi Ran the whole story so she could be mentally prepared, since the person would be brought back tomorrow.
If Uncle Li's estimate is correct, they will arrive around 5 a.m. tomorrow and we will be able to see that eyesore family of three.
Chu Jiang pursed his lips, and finally reason prevailed over emotion. "Xi Zhihui has been found. You should be able to see him around tomorrow afternoon. Be prepared."
Xi Ran paused, her hand holding the water stopped, her eyes widened, and she looked at Chu Jiangyi with disbelief.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Xi Ran suspected she had misheard and asked Chu Jiangyi to repeat it.
Chu Jiang was not annoyed and patiently explained it again.
"Xi Zhihui has been found. He has a new family outside and a four-year-old son, which means..."
Xi Ran stared blankly in Chu Jiangyi's direction, and continued Chu Jiangyi's words, "So, Xi Zhihui has been away from home for four years, and his child is only four years old. When he plotted against me and Xi Yan, that woman was already pregnant?"
Although Chu Jiangyi was unwilling to admit it, he had to nod. Just as Xi Ran said, Xi Zhihui had been gone for four years, and the child was four years old. At that time, Na San was already close to giving birth.
To drag Xi Ran and Xi Yan into the abyss for the sake of his other son—what a scumbag!
How ironic!
Is having three children really that appealing?
They disregarded the lives of the other two children.
Chu Jiang really wanted to swear.
You could see Xi Ran sitting there, looking lost and dejected.
Chu Jiang also got up and sat down next to Xi Ran, patting her on the back.
"If you want to cry, then cry. Don't hold it in. But this is a one-time thing. It's not worth it for such a scumbag father."
Xi Ran tilted her head back, stubbornly refusing to let the tears fall, but her eyes uncontrollably reddened, and tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.
"I don't want to cry for him, it's not worth it, but why do I still feel so sad?"
