Chapter 26
"My friend works in IT, and this hotel was booked for him by his company," Ke Xin smiled and made up a lie.
Sister Wang nodded, seeming to understand: "Oh, what a talent."
"Hey, male or female? If you're a male, do you have a partner?"
Seeing that she was still trying to get closer, Ke Xin quickly evaded the question, "Sister Wang, he already has a wife and children, and he's bald, so there's no need to introduce him!"
Sister Wang said "Oh" meaningfully, and thought to herself: Could it be that Ke Xin is being kept by such a man, so she can afford to buy Hermès bags? In fact, if it is possible, she also thought that it is better than following Liu Yong, a butcher, and having to eat coarse food with him and help him take care of his ex-wife's children. When she thought of this, her expression instantly changed unpredictably.
"Then I won't disturb you from taking a bath," Ke Xin took the room card and prepared to take the little ball to wash up first.
The whole time, Xiaopiqiu stood in the corner like a transparent person, until Ke Xin took him to the bathroom and took a comfortable bath. Then she walked to the side bedroom, which had a children's bed and a large bed. Ke Xin pointed at the children's bed and asked Xiaopiqiu, "Xiaopiqiu, can you sleep in the children's bed tonight while Baobao and I sleep in the large bed?"
The little ball looked at the childlike crib, his eyes lit up and he nodded.
From the first time they met until now, Xiaopiqiu always had a tense face, and only now did his expression relax a little. But even so, Ke Xin felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She saw her childhood in him, so much so that she wondered whether she should impulsively tell Xiaopiqiu that your mother is coming to see you overnight and she doesn't abandon you. But she was afraid that if she told the child, she would be troublesome if Sister Wang next door knew about it.
She sent Jiaqi the whole story of the day, and Jiaqi quickly replied: "It doesn't matter if you keep it to yourself for one night. If anything happens tomorrow, give me a call and I'll come to support you immediately!"
Before going to bed, Ke Xin saw Sister Wang’s circle of friends. When she opened it, she found that she had posted several nine-square grids of messages today. They were all pictures of the buffet at the hotel and her wearing a bathrobe with level 10 beauty filters. They looked very low-key.
"I hope everything goes well tomorrow," Ke Xin turned off the screen, looked at the bright moonlight, and prayed silently.
Every time she felt helpless as a child, she would look up at the sky and pray silently, just like the little match girl now. In the past, she had imagined countless times that someone would pull her out of the sea of suffering like she is now, but she had to grit her teeth and get through it when she grew up. Now, let her be the benefactor she longed for as a child and help the little ball.
The next morning, before Ke Xin woke up from her chaotic dream, she heard rustling sounds in the living room.
She rubbed her eyes and saw that the little ball was sleeping soundly, so she tiptoed out of the room.
"Wake up," Sister Wang glanced at Ke Xin, then stuffed various bath products into her bag and said with a wry smile, "Don't let the hotel get away with it. You have to take all these with you when you leave."
Ke Xin nodded in agreement: "Of course, you go get ready first, I'm going to go wash up!"
Ke Xin closed the door and checked the time. It was exactly eight o'clock, the time for Cheng Cheng to get off the bus. She immediately sent Cheng Cheng a text message asking, "Are you there yet?"
After a while, the other side replied anxiously: "I'm here, I'm here. How is the little ball now? Can you record a video for me?"
Ke Xin recorded a video of him sleeping, and the other party quickly replied: "I'm taking a taxi now, it will be there in about half an hour!"
Ke Xin subconsciously became nervous. The rustling sounds in the living room gradually disappeared, followed by the sound of the door closing with a "click".
Ke Xin guessed that Sister Wang should have taken her son to have breakfast. Judging from the time she spent eating, drinking and taking pictures, it should last for two hours. If all went well, it would be just enough for her to get away with it.
After Ke Xin washed Xiaopiqiu and Baobao, seeing that it was almost time, she suddenly pulled Xiaopiqiu and said seriously, "Xiaopiqiu, your mother didn't abandon you. Your mother will come to pick you up soon!"
As soon as the words fell, the little ball immediately stood up and said in surprise: "What did you say, my mother is coming to see me?"
Ke Xin half-knelt down and nodded, then continued, "Yes, she'll be here soon, but you promised Auntie not to tell anyone about this. Keep all this a secret from your sister Wang!"
Little Ball's eyes immediately turned red, and he immediately understood what was going on: "I know." He choked and wiped his tears with his sleeves, sighed softly, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
In Ke Xin's eyes, the little ball's expression was like a lost lamb that had found its way home. Besides feeling relieved, she was actually a little envious. At least he had a biological mother who missed him and traveled through mountains and rivers to find him, but she herself never had one.
Realizing that her heart sank, she immediately extinguished the pessimism in her heart.
The phone rang, and it was Cheng Cheng calling: "Ke Xin, I'm sorry, Liu Yong intercepted me on the way. He seemed to know I was here to pick up the baby. What should I do?"
Liu Yong is the ex-husband she mentioned, and also Sister Wang’s current husband. How did he suddenly know that Chengcheng was coming?
Ke Xin frowned and subconsciously asked, "How about I call the police?"
"No, absolutely not! I've reported it, but the police will just treat it as a family matter. Not only will they be unable to help, but Liu Yong will hide my son somewhere else where I won't be able to find him!"
"Don't come over here, Mr. Liu! I curse your whole family to hell!"
Suddenly, there was a roar accompanied by a fight from the other side, and then the phone was cut off, and the originally noisy sound fell silent in an instant.
"Auntie Ke Xin, what's wrong?" Realizing that something was wrong, Little Ball pulled the corner of Ke Xin's clothes.
Ke Xin came to her senses and immediately sent the location given by Cheng Cheng to Jia Qi.
If Liu Yong caught Chengcheng, would Sister Wang get wind of it immediately?
Ke Xin glanced at Sister Wang's mobile phone screen which kept flashing in the living room, and guessed that it was Liu Yong who tipped off.
Fortunately, Sister Wang was eating at the buffet at the moment and didn’t have her cell phone with her.
The most urgent thing is to find a place to hide.
"Little Ball, Baobao, come out with me quickly!" Ke Xin put Sister Wang's cell phone in her bag, took the two children and immediately took the elevator out.
The buffet is located inside the lobby, and it boasts delicious food imported from all over the world. There are few fat and unfashionable aunties like Sister Wang here. Ke Xin only needs to take a quick glance to see Sister Wang and Lele happily eating with a table full of Jiayao.
Ke Xin quickened her pace and stopped a taxi: "Master, let's go to Lao Lin Villa!"
Lao Lin Villa is one hundred kilometers away from the city. It was only when she followed Fu Xuan on a date here that she learned from him that this is a private villa that only receives wealthy nobles. The address cannot be found on the map at all. It is extremely secretive.
In a hurry, she couldn't think of any other place where she could feel safe except hiding here.
The phone in her bag kept vibrating, and Ke Xin felt a little scared. Fortunately, Sister Wang didn't bring time to eat at the buffet. If she had brought it, she might not be able to get out of the door.
The little ball looked up expectantly and asked, "Sister Kexin, are you going to take me to find my mother?"
Along the way, little ball kept talking about his mother.
Facing his eager eyes, Ke Xin wanted to lie to Xiaopiqiu, but seeing his unusually calm and profound eyes, she told him the truth: "Xiaopiqiu, your mother met your father on the way. I don't know what happened, but I will take you to hide for now. Once your mother has dealt with your father, I will take you to see your mother, okay?"
Little Ball was surprisingly calm. He just said "OK" and then looked out the window with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
The baby, who was still confused, took Ke Xin's hand and touched her belly and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Why don't we have breakfast with Sister Wang before leaving?"
Ke Xin's eyes relaxed. "Mom will take you to Lao Lin Villa to eat better food, okay? There's a big playground there, and you can fish and catch shrimp, and there are peacocks and horseback riding!"
Bao Bao's innocent face instantly brightened up: "Really, Mom, I want to ride a horse. I really want to ride a horse. Wang Shiyao from our class always tells us that her parents take her riding horses. She even showed us a video of her riding a horse. She looks so cool!"
Ke Xin stroked her full hair and said, "Yes, there's a little ball to ride on too!"
The car quickly drove into Lao Lin Villa. After getting off the car, Ke Xin showed the card given by Fu Xuan to the doorman. The other party took a look at it and quickly drove a sightseeing car respectfully to take the three of them to the hotel.
The hotel is surrounded by mountains and has a large area. Along the way, sightseeing buses shuttle passengers on both sides of the road.
Among those who come here are politicians, businessmen, recluses, and even celebrities who are not convenient to show up can be caught a glimpse of one or two occasionally.
Everyone's face was touched by the gentle breeze, and their eyebrows and eyes were relaxed and smiling.
The two children were instantly attracted by the amusement park nearby. This amusement park was extremely large. At a glance, there was a huge Ferris wheel.
Ke Xin followed their gazes into the huge Ferris wheel, and suddenly remembered the candlelight dinner she and Fu Xuan had in the Ferris wheel, and the kiss that made her tremble.
"What are you doing?" Ke Xin opened Fu Xuan's dialog box and asked.
The other party didn't reply for a long time. She looked at the last chat record with melancholy. It was Fu Xuan's preaching yesterday and her dissatisfied response.
The sightseeing bus soon arrived at the hotel entrance, and a two-bedroom parent-child suite had already been prepared for them upstairs.
Ke Xin put aside her melancholy and walked into the private room with the children to eat breakfast when Jia Qi's text message came: "Ke Xin, it's a good thing you left in time. Did you know that Liu Yong and his gang arrived at the hotel right after you left? Now Liu Yong and his gang can't find you and are beating up Sister Wang!"
Jiaqi sent a video.
The video shows Liu Yong beating Sister Wang in the street until she was bruised and battered. Lele was crying beside him, and behind them followed a group of people with blue dragons and white tigers tattooed on their arms, and they all looked ferocious. Just from the video, one could feel the terribly depressing atmosphere.
Ke Xin immediately asked, "Where's Chengcheng? How is she?"
