This bastard doesn't come home for dinner, he's just out there playing with kids, right?
Meng Qinian clicked his tongue and hugged Nan Yuanman tightly: "What do you mean by 'abducted'? Such a cute child, can't he be my child?"
Meng Lei sneered: "You actually managed to give birth to such a cute child?"
The moment the father and son met, the tension instantly intensified.
Nan Yuanman blinked her round, watery eyes and politely reached out her hand to Meng Lei, asking in a childish voice, "Uncle, can you give me back the little coffin?"
"A small coffin?" Meng Lei was stunned for a moment. When he saw Nan Yuanman's gaze fall on the small red coffin in his hand, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at her with suspicion, asking, "Is this yours?"
This was the first time Meng Lei had ever spoken to such a tiny little girl, and his voice unconsciously softened.
Meng Qinian got goosebumps all over his body and said with disgust, "Old man, just talk, why are you pinching it like that? Aren't you disgusted?"
Meng Lei's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. "That brat!"
“It’s mine.” Nan Yuanman nodded.
Meng Lei recalled the eerie white mist that had dissipated when the small coffin was thrown at him, the screams he heard, and the car door that had inexplicably opened...
His gaze fell on Nan Yuanman with a hint of caution and scrutiny as he asked Meng Qinian, "What... happened just now?"
"Uncle was just blinded by a ghost." Nan Yuanman raised her chubby little hand and grabbed behind Meng Lei.
The little black imp, trembling on his back, was caught in her hand.
Meng Lei felt a lightness behind him, and his body, which had been feeling heavy and tired for days, suddenly felt much lighter. He stared wide-eyed at Nan Yuanman's empty hands in astonishment: "What... a ghost blinding me?"
Meng Qinian asked with a look of astonishment and uncertainty, "Are there really ghosts in this world?"
"Yes, do you want to see it?" Nan Yuanman made a hand seal and raised his hand to dim the flames on Meng Qinian's head.
Meng Qinian's vision blurred, and the next second, he saw the dark, charcoal-like thing that Nan Yuanman was holding in his hand.
It seemed to realize that Meng Qinian could see it, and it bared its teeth and roared at him. Its charcoal-black features were torn apart by its ferocious expression, making it look quite terrifying.
"Holy crap—!" Meng Qinian was so startled that he almost threw Nan Yuanman out. His face, which had regained some color, turned deathly pale, and his legs went weak.
There really are ghosts in this world!
Nan Yuanman gently tugged at the little ghost in her hand. The little ghost, which had looked extremely fierce, trembled like a sheep in her hand and dared not move.
Meng Qinian was extremely impressed by this and completely convinced that the Southern Fertile Crescent was the Celestial Master's doing.
She glanced at Meng Qinian, whose face had turned pale, put the little ghost into the small coffin, and said to Meng Lei, "Someone is raising this little ghost and using it to harm you."
"If you need my help to exorcise this little ghost, I can give you a 9.99% discount because of your big brother status."
Meng Qinian's lips twitched. He really had a lot of influence.
Meng Lei asked hesitantly, "You're a Taoist master? Kid, you're not just some charlatan this brat hired to fool me, are you?"
It's no wonder he thought that way; such a thing is just too fantastical.
Not to mention that Meng Qinian is unreliable. Ever since his mother passed away, nothing he has done has been easy.
And how old is this child? Not even six years old, right? He can't even recognize words at that age, how could he possibly be a Taoist master?
Meng Qinian had just recovered his senses when he heard Meng Lei's words, and his face instantly darkened: "Believe it or not, I don't care if you die!"
"Alright, that's fine. Let's go. I'll take you home. Let him find someone to deal with him himself!"
Meng Qinian angrily picked up Nan Yuanman and left. Nan Yuanman rested her chin on his shoulder, looked at Meng Lei, and said, "Uncle, if you want to find someone else, you should hurry up. I don't know if she only raised this little devil. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time."
She looked at Meng Lei's increasingly dark forehead and said, "Next time, Uncle won't be so lucky to escape."
Although Meng Lei was still somewhat skeptical, Nan Yuanman's words stirred up some waves in his heart. So when his assistant came to deal with the accident, he asked the assistant to get a copy of the nearby surveillance footage.
The assistant was quick; the surveillance footage was sent to his phone in less than ten minutes.
Meng Lei didn't go home; he sat in his car and watched the video.
When he saw himself opening the car door as if he were under a nightmare, getting out of the car and walking towards the road on the side, a chill ran down his spine and his limbs went cold.
Only after he saw the small coffin flying from the left and smashing him into the car did his cold limbs regain a little warmth.
He then realized he was covered in a cold sweat.
He also realized that what Nan Yuanman had said earlier was true. If... if she hadn't arrived in time, he would have already...
Thinking this, Meng Lei didn't dare to wait a moment longer and quickly took out his phone to call Meng Qinian.
The call was abruptly disconnected after two beeps.
Meng Lei: "..." This brat!!
-
Meng Qinian angrily berated Meng Lei the whole way, while Nan Yuanman gave him perfunctory replies, his eyelids slowly growing heavy.
I woke up too early this morning, and now it's dark, just in time for Namgyal Man to go to sleep.
As Meng Qinian was speaking, he felt a weight on his shoulder. Turning his head, he saw Nan Yuanman's chubby cheeks pressed against his shoulder, her big eyes closed, fast asleep.
The little girl's face was soft and her chubby cheeks felt wonderful to the touch.
Meng Qinian's voice unconsciously softened. He felt a sense of comfort at how easily Nan Yuanman trusted him, but he couldn't help but say, "You really aren't afraid that I'll sell you out?"
He lifted Nan Yuanman up a little to make her more comfortable, and for a moment he thought he might as well just take her back to the Meng family.
Anyway, she wasn't favored in the Jiang family. If he adopted her as his sister, he would definitely dote on her and protect her for the rest of his life.
However, considering the current dire situation of the Meng family, Meng Qinian clicked his tongue and carried her towards the Jiang family villa he remembered.
Forget it, let's wait until he's dealt with the Meng family's affairs...
As Meng Qinian approached the villa with Nan Yuanman, Chen Ma, who was waiting outside, spotted them instantly.
She paused for a moment when she saw Meng Qinian, her eyes darting around, then turned and shouted loudly inside, "Butler Li! I've found Miss Nan!"
The loud voice startled Nan Yuanman and Meng Qinian.
Meng Qinian frowned and gave Chen Ma a cold, displeased look.
Startled by Meng Qinian's gaze, Chen Ma lowered her voice involuntarily, but her tone remained reproachful: "Miss Nan, how could you run around like that? Do you know how worried the young master and madam were about you?"
"You actually troubled someone to bring you back! How incredibly inconsiderate of you! Get down right now! Go back and apologize properly to the young master and madam!"
Meng Qinian's face darkened, and just as he was about to give this old woman a good scolding, Nan Yuanman, who had been awakened, angrily took out a small coffin and slapped it hard on Chen Ma's head: "You're really too noisy."
"I don't like listening to you talk. When I'm around, you shouldn't talk. Oh right, you also like to be punished by standing. Well, you'll stand here tonight. You can go in whenever your so-called Miss Xinxin comes back."
Chen Ma instinctively raised her hand to block, but she was no faster than Nan Yuanman.
She felt a chill run down her spine, and instinctively opened her mouth to curse, but no sound came out.
Not only could she not make a sound, she also couldn't move.
He remained standing at the doorway, only his eyes could move.
Chen Ma: "!!!"
