Chapter 294 Mom, Don't Abandon Ningning
In the amusement park, Little Crystal kept her head down and looked listless.
Jiang Xingyao squatted down in front of Xiao Shuijing and asked, "Was Ningning frightened today? Shall we take Ningning to ride the carousel first?"
This was also the first time Jiang Xingyao had taken care of Xiao Shuijing by herself. She didn't know what Xiao Shuijing liked, so she could only try to divert her attention first.
Shen Ying has severed ties with the Shen family for two years. Since Xiao Shuijing was born, she has had almost no contact with the Shen family or Jin Yanzhou.
Both groups of people were strangers to her. She was taken away by both groups one after the other today. At such a young age, it's understandable that she was afraid.
Little Crystal pursed her lips, shook her head, and clutched Jiang Xingyao's clothes, her voice muffled: "I don't want to."
"What does Ningning want to play? Godmother will go with you to play," Jiang Xingyao said again.
Little Crystal lowered her head even further, looking as if she was hesitating. Jiang Xingyao waited for her quietly, and after a while, she heard her whisper, "Godmother, will Daddy take me away?"
Her words made Jiang Xingyao's expression turn serious, and she quickly asked, "Why does Ningning think that way?"
The child is young and sensitive, so Jiang Xingyao couldn't help but worry. Little Crystal had grown up in front of Shen Ying and would also want a father.
Little Crystal said, "Daddy, buy me food and take me to play. I'm scared."
She suddenly threw herself into Jiang Xingyao's arms: "Godmother, Ningning doesn't want a father, Ningning wants a mother, and wants to stay with her mother forever."
She didn't cry when Jiang Xingyao saw her just now.
But now tears were streaming down her face like a broken string of pearls, and she couldn't stop them. Jiang Xingyao quickly patted her back and said, "Ningning, don't be afraid. No one can take Ningning away. Mommy will never let Ningning go. Don't cry, okay?"
Little Crystal choked back tears, still clinging to Jiang Xingyao and crying incessantly: "Mommy, Ningning only wants Mommy."
"Okay, okay, godmother understands. Godmother will protect Ningning and won't let anyone separate Ningning and Sister Yingying, okay?" She took out a tissue and carefully wiped away the tear stains on Xiaoshuijing's face. "Our Ningning is the bravest little girl. Don't cry anymore, okay? If you cry again, your little face will be all messed up, and Mommy will be even more worried when she sees it."
Little Crystal was still sniffling, but she nodded obediently to Jiang Xingyao: "Mommy is tired, Ningning doesn't want Mommy to worry."
She took the tissue from Jiang Xingyao's hand and obediently wiped her face. Then she looked up at Jiang Xingyao, her voice still hoarse from crying, and asked, "Godmother, am I clean now?"
“It’s clean now, Ningning is great. Mommy has something to do now, how about Godmother takes Ningning to play first? What does Ningning want to play?” Jiang Xingyao asked again.
Little Crystal glanced at the amusement park entrance again, and this time she cooperated. Jiang Xingyao accompanied her on the carousel and bought her balloons and small toys in the park.
Little Crystal had been playing all day and was tired after a short while. Jiang Xingyao checked the time and realized that it had been almost two hours since they came out. She thought that Jin Yanzhou should leave soon, so she picked up Little Crystal and left the amusement park.
As expected, only Shen Ying was outside. As soon as she saw the two of them, Shen Ying quickly came over to greet them. Little Crystal was already asleep in Jiang Xingyao's arms.
Afraid of waking her up, Shen Ying had Jiang Xingyao carry her to the car.
Even though Shen Ying repeatedly said she was fine, Jiang Xingyao was still a little worried, so she drove Shen Ying back to her residence herself.
After calming Xiao Shuijing down, Jiang Xingyao told Shen Ying about Xiao Shuijing's situation: "Sister Yingying, Ningning cares about you a lot and is afraid of leaving you. When she wakes up, you can comfort her properly."
Shen Ying glanced at Xiao Shuijing's bedroom, her eyes filled with warmth, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
She would never let what Shen Youliang and his wife had done go unpunished.
Since the other party is going to target Little Crystal, she shouldn't blame her for disregarding any blood ties.
There are surveillance cameras at the airport. Shen Ying had already gotten her hands on the footage. She made sure the video of Shen Youliang and the others was clear, then compared their lip movements, added subtitles, and posted it online using her own account.
Shen Ying was already somewhat famous abroad, and now that she has returned to China, her studio is thriving. Her social media accounts are filled with prominent figures from the music, entertainment, and high-society circles.
The people she associated with all overlapped with the Shen family's social circle.
It's easy to imagine the uproar this video caused when it was released.
Jiang Xingyao also saw Shen Ying's actions. She didn't offer any advice, but simply said, "Sister Yingying, I'm Xiao Shuijing's godmother. If you have any trouble, just come to me. Don't be shy, I'll do my best to help you."
Shen Ying said, "I know, I definitely won't stand on ceremony with you. Yao Yao, it's getting late, why don't you have dinner here before you leave?"
After posting the video, she immediately tossed her phone aside and went to cook.
About an hour later, the steaming hot food was ready, and Shen Ying's phone started ringing non-stop, as if it had been injected with adrenaline.
Shen Ying glanced at it and then tossed it aside.
Jiang Xingyao saw it; the call was from Shen Youliang.
Shen Youliang is going crazy.
Ever since he got off the plane and turned on his phone, it was flooded with messages, mostly insults.
He has never cared about his reputation for most of his life. The scandal of Shen Ying's premarital pregnancy had never affected him. Now, because of this small matter, many people online are calling him a kidnapper and even criticizing the Shen Group as a kidnapper group.
Unfortunately, the culprit seemed to have vanished at this moment. No matter how many times he called Shen Ying, she didn't answer.
Madam Shen was also furious: "Is there something wrong with Shen Ying? We're all family. I just wanted to bring the child home to visit. Is she disregarding the interests of the Shen family over such a small matter?"
"Old Shen, in my opinion, it's your brother's fault. His wife spoils her too much. We have to talk to them about this."
Shen Ming complained, "Mom, you know perfectly well that my sister cares most about her child. She even severed ties with my uncle and aunt for the sake of her child. Do you still think this is a small matter?"
Madam Shen rolled her eyes: "We're all family. As her aunt, what's wrong with me helping her out when I see how hard she works taking care of the child?"
"You're being completely unreasonable." Shen Mingsu was a little annoyed. He felt that Madam Shen in front of him was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
Shen Youliang said, "What's all the noise about? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Shen Mingsu, Miss Gu is still waiting for you at home. Go home right now and coax her."
Shen Youliang also planned to go to Shen Hanzhi's house to force Shen Hanzhi to come forward and resolve the matter.
But he also knew that Shen Mingsu and Shen Ying had been close since childhood, and letting Shen Mingsu come along might cause trouble. Right now, nothing was more important than sending Shen Mingsu back to appease his new wife.
Shen Youliang's scheme ultimately failed.
He did see Shen Hanzhi, and Shen Mingsu also saw Gu Zhiyuan, but it was at the police station.
Before Shen Youliang could go to Shen Hanzhi, they were stopped by the police.
The reason was that Shen Ying posted messages online, deliberately not explaining her relationship with them, which caused too much of a stir and attracted the attention of the police, who determined it to be a malicious kidnapping.
Despite Madam Shen's repeated explanation that Shen Ying was their niece and that she only wanted to take the child back to the capital for a couple of days, she was still forcibly taken back to the police station by the police to give a statement.
Meanwhile, the scene of Shen Youliang being arrested at the airport was also captured by many people and uploaded to the internet.
In no time, the Shen family's scandal became common knowledge.
Shen Hanzhi was called by the police to pick her up, while Gu Zhiyuan came after seeing the news online and couldn't hold back any longer.
Originally, her arranged marriage partner was Shen Mingsu, such a handsome young man, which made her feel proud in front of her sisters.
But who knew that on their wedding day, Shen Mingsu would disappear without a trace, leaving her alone at the wedding, causing her to fall from grace and become the laughingstock of her sisters.
These past two days, Gu Zhiyuan has been barely suppressing her anger while staying at the Shen family's house.
She knew that given the relationship between the two families, it was the Shen family who had wronged her this time. As long as she behaved well, Shen Youliang and his wife would definitely make it up to her when they returned. As for the little incidents at the wedding, she could find a suitable way to explain them away, and she would once again be the enviable young mistress of the Shen family.
But Gu Zhiyuan never expected that what she would receive first was not Shen Mingsu's apology, but another scandal involving the Shen family.
Knowing that her girlfriends would definitely make fun of her in private over the next few days, Gu Zhiyuan finally couldn't resist coming to find out what was going on.
When Shen Youliang came out of the police station and saw Gu Zhiyuan, his expression also darkened.
He had always felt sorry for Gu Zhiyuan and was even thinking about how to comfort her on the way, but now anger had taken over his reason.
After all, no in-laws would want their new daughter-in-law to see them in such a shameful way. Since Gu Zhiyuan had received the news, she should have stayed home and waited instead of going to the police station to watch the spectacle.
Shen Youliang felt that Gu Zhiyuan was very tactless. When Gu Zhiyuan took the initiative to come over and greet him, he impatiently shouted, "What are you all standing here for? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Go home!"
Gu Zhiyuan felt extremely wronged. Her original ambition to marry into the family and reform Shen Mingsu seemed to have been largely extinguished.
With red eyes, she said, "Mom and Dad, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"I've only just married into the Shen family, how could you do such a disgraceful thing? How am I supposed to hold my head up in the future?"
She was talking about the incident where Madam Shen forcibly took away Shen Ying's child. Now everyone thinks there's a kidnapper in the Shen family. Her fake best friend even subtly asked her whether the Shen family is safe or not.
Thinking about all this, Gu Zhiyuan became so angry that she could hardly breathe.
