Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Chapter 36
"How could I, as a stepfather, have such an opportunity? How could I, as a stepfather, have such an opportunity?" These words kept echoing in Xi Wudeng's ears.
Xi Wudeng's hand holding the phone was almost unsteady, and he staggered onto the chair, panting heavily.
But the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and it was even difficult to breathe.
God knows how much energy he put into this patent. He investigated the patent holder, but couldn't find anyone. So he had to spend a lot of time and money to find a way and register his name with that person, just hoping that he could get a piece of the pie. For this reason, even after receiving news from the hospital that his long-lost biological daughter had been found, he still didn't care about it. He just kept on networking and making friends, hoping to be recommended to higher levels so that his company could get this opportunity and develop better.
But what? Who could tell him why? Why, despite all his calculations, he couldn't have foreseen that his own daughter, whom he had left alone, would grow up to look like that, let alone that she actually knew the patent holder?
If he had taken Beibei home as soon as he got the news, wouldn't he have gone to such great lengths and ended up with nothing?
In fact, if Beibei hadn't been stolen, then whether it was his ex-wife, the cooperation with the Chu family, or this opportunity today, that incredibly beautiful daughter, they would all be his! They would all be the glory of his Xi family!
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xi Wudeng suddenly started coughing violently.
Wang Chang rushed in upon hearing the noise, completely panicked. "What's going on? Let's go to the hospital!"
Xi Wudeng must not get into any trouble now. Her son is still young, and her two daughters are watching him closely. If something really happens to him now, she alone cannot defeat the power of his ex-wife!
Xi Wudeng didn't know what she was thinking, but he felt a little relieved when he saw her anxious expression. Even if this wife had many faults, she still cared about him!
But the relief did not last long. A few days later, Chu Qing and Shen Luan came up with their two daughters.
With them were the police.
"This...what happened?" He originally wanted to contact Ruoruo to build a good father-daughter relationship. He was very excited to hear that Ruoruo was going to come to City A in a while. He thought that he must show his fatherly love for her this time. As a result, she did come, but she did not come alone.
Chu Qing bluntly said that he wanted to see Wang E, and threw the results of their and Zhu Wo's investigation into Xi Wudeng in his face.
Xi Wudeng's face looked very ugly. He didn't expect that after not seeing his ex-wife for so long, he would have this attitude when he saw her.
But now that the police were there, he couldn't argue with her, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xi Zhaozhao was also at home, but when she saw the aggressive group of people, she quietly retreated to her room and did not dare to come out.
"Mr. Xi, you should first take a look at the information my mother specially prepared." Ruoruo stepped forward and said.
Xi Wudeng felt uncomfortable when he heard her address him, "I'm your father!"
It was obvious that she was willing to call Chu Qing "Mom", but she was not willing to call him "Dad". It was then that he suddenly remembered that every time he called her, the child never called him.
But he still bent down and picked up the thick stack of papers.
My face turned ugly from the moment I saw the first picture, and it got uglier the further I turned.
He angrily called Wang Chang out and yelled at her.
"Vile woman! I know you have your own little thoughts, but I didn't expect you to be so evil from the beginning, bitch!"
Ruoruo didn't like seeing him like this, so she quickly interrupted his pretense. Of course, maybe his anger was real, but Ruoruo didn't care.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xi, why don't you let the police interrogate first? Getting angry now won't help. We're only here as parties involved, and we just came by to take a look."
"By the way, I'd also like to ask Ms. Wang how I was secretly transported out of the villa area and thrown into S City." Ruo Ruo said, looking at Wang Chang without any emotion.
Wang Chang's face was stiff. It took her a long while to react. She pretended to be confused and said, "What do you mean by that? Why don't I understand? What's going on? Old Xi, don't scare me."
Her acting skills are very good. If she hadn't panicked just now, just looking at her current performance, she would seem to be really completely innocent. Even at such an old age, you can still see a pitiful expression on her face.
Ruo Ruo sighed and lost interest in asking her. No matter whether she was simply planning to become Mrs. Xi or there was something else going on, and no matter what methods she used, she could not get rid of the accusation.
"Mom, Dad, and Sister, let's go." They really just came here to visit on the way, and the most important thing was to go back to S City to see Mother Bai. After all, it had been so long since she was recognized, but the two sides had not yet met formally.
Her mother had always said that she wanted to thank Bai's mother in person. There had never been a suitable opportunity before, but recently everything that could be arranged had been arranged. Her eyes had recovered, Nian Nian had found a suitable person willing to donate bone marrow for her, and Akang's leg was also receiving stable treatment. The family was now ready to go to S City together.
Chu Qing still had resentment towards Xi Wudeng, but all the investigation results proved that Xi Wudeng really knew nothing about what Wang Chang had done, and he was also being plotted against. She couldn't do anything in front of the police. When Ruo Ruo said she wanted to leave, she naturally left quickly without hesitation, not wanting to stay here any longer and see Xi Wudeng's disgusting face.
As they approached the orphanage, Chu Qing's demeanor was completely different. She was incredibly humble, even debating in the car whether or not to kowtow to Bai Mama twice. She felt that even kowtow wasn't enough to express her gratitude. Ruo Ruo finally managed to dispel this horrible and embarrassing thought.
As soon as Ruoruo returned, the children in the yard surrounded her and called her "big sister" sweetly.
"Big sister, are your eyes okay? That's great! This is the chocolate our teacher gave me. Big sister, have some!"
"Sister is back~Sister Ruoruo is back~"
There were also a few introverted little puddings who stared at the strangers who came with Ruoruo but didn't dare to get close to them. They could only lie on the side and watch secretly.
"Big sister is so pretty! Even prettier than the stars on TV."
"But I heard from others that Big Sister seems to have found her family, and she might not come to our place again... Those following her must be Big Sister's parents, right? They both look very impressive, and Big Sister even came this time in a car that looked very beautiful and expensive."
"Isn't that great? Even though we won't be able to see Big Sister often, she can enjoy herself. Her parents are her biological parents, and they look very rich. Big Sister won't have to work so hard anymore..."
"But I'm... so scared. Will there be one less person to take care of us? Will Mother Bai be even more tired..."
"I think what you said is wrong, and what you thought is wrong. Mother Bai is tired because of us. We shouldn't be Big Sister's responsibility. It's a great thing that she can find her parents. I think we should be happy for Big Sister! Instead of worrying about what will happen to the orphanage without Big Sister. Even without Big Sister's help, we are still the best bottle pickers on this street! Or are you really so shameless that you want to be a burden to Big Sister? Tie her up in our orphanage and suck her blood for the rest of her life?"
"I'm not! I'm also happy that my elder sister found her family! I'm not a vampire, I can pick up bottles, I can copy homework for others, and I... I even eat less than you!"
Some children were whispering to each other, while others were running to call Mother Bai.
"Ruoruo, why are you back?" Mother Bai heard the children talking one after another about their elder sister coming back, and hurried out of the kitchen.
Of course she was happy about Ruoruo's return, but she couldn't help but worry that the child would become confused. It was obvious that she should get along well with her family at this time!
"Mom Bai! I miss you so much!" When Ruo Ruo heard Mom Bai's voice, she distributed the things in her hands to the little girls gathered around her, then quickly ran over and hugged Mom Bai.
"Tell me, you!" Mother Bai subconsciously wanted to hug her back, but when she saw the oil on her hands, she remembered that she was still wearing an apron!
"Hurry, hurry, get up quickly. The oil is all over you! Your eyes are healed, so how come your eyesight has deteriorated?" Mother Bai pushed her aside with her elbow, looking very disgusted, to prevent the oil smoke on her body from rubbing against her.
Especially when she saw that she was wearing a small white suit, she felt even more distressed. If it weren't for the oil on her hands, she would have slapped the child hard twice!
But it was obvious that the child was dressed much better than when he came to the orphanage before.
That’s good!
But, "What did I tell you on the phone? Didn't I tell you to get along well with your family? It's only been a few days, and you're already running back? It's time to eat now. After dinner, today... I can't do it today. There's no car. Go back quickly tomorrow! Don't stay here and get in my way!"
"Mom Bai, don't you miss your eldest daughter? I'm going to be sad if you say that!" Ruoruo wanted to hold Mom Bai's hand, but she dodged her again.
"You unlucky thing, my hands are covered in grease..." Mother Bai didn't finish her words. When she glanced around, she found that there were several people following her whom she had never seen before.
What an unlucky child! And the guests didn't even remind her!
Especially looking at the three people in luxurious clothes, Mother Bai probably guessed their identities.
She quickly stopped talking to Ruoruo, wiped her hands on her apron, took off the apron, found a child to take her back to the kitchen, and hurried to meet her.
