The driver's words filled Lu Xiu with mixed feelings.
She had very mixed feelings about this child.
Without a doubt, this was her child, a piece of flesh that had fallen from her womb, but she was not so willing to take her back.
With this child around, even if she manages to escape, seeing him will constantly remind her of the nightmares that once plagued her.
So she chose to abandon him.
But she never expected that the child would follow her all the way out and even help her flag down a car.
Did he intend to send her away from the very beginning?
Lu Xiu covered her face, tears streaming down her face through her fingers—
"Girl, do you want to turn back?" Seeing her crying like this, the driver assumed she was reluctant to part with her son and asked, "It's normal for couples to quarrel. How about you take your son back to your parents' house?"
Although the child looked a bit strange, the driver was kind-hearted. He was also a father, and if someone separated him from his little one, he would probably cry even more than the girl in front of him.
"No--"
Lu Xiu shook her head. She couldn't turn back.
Didn't she already make her decision from the very beginning?
She has completely given up on the child.
She had already prepared herself mentally—
A month later, a team of police officers arrived in the village.
The purpose was to arrest Ning Fengshou.
On the third day after Lu Xiu returned home, she called the police.
The driver never expected that he would be carrying a wealthy woman in his car. Looking at the woman's luxurious villa, the driver couldn't help but swallow hard.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
Is this girl from a wealthy family? How could she marry into such a poor, remote place? Most importantly, her clothes are tattered and don't match the villa at all.
An idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Is this girl perhaps abducted?
Having finally escaped, she abandoned her own son without hesitation.
And that was indeed the case.
However, he was just a driver and didn't have much to do with this matter.
When the family gave him a large red envelope, he felt its thickness and suddenly thought of the boy with the aloof eyes.
What a pity.
That child could have easily grown up in such a family, but because of his father's situation, it seems unlikely—
After thinking for a moment, the driver finally told him that Ning Hong had given him money and food.
You mean he gave you money?
"Um."
The driver nodded vigorously. "So, such a good son should be taken back as soon as possible."
However, he was ultimately disappointed.
Neither Lu Xiu nor Lu Lei had any different expressions, but neither of them had any intention of taking the child home.
"Xiu, we can't keep this child."
Lu Lei said simply.
For the Lu family, this child is a disgrace, and might even drag his sister down with him.
Lu Xiu was still crying, but she nodded firmly.
With Lu Xiu in such a state, the Lu family naturally wouldn't let her friend and Ning Fengshou off the hook.
They called the police immediately.
Lu Xiu's so-called good friend was simple; after going through a process, he was ultimately released without charge because there were no clues.
However, Lu Xiu directly snatched her man away.
It wasn't exactly like snatching him back. This man was originally dating Lu Xiu, but Lu Xiu suddenly disappeared, and the man searched for her for three whole years before finally marrying Lu Xiu, his friend.
Now that Lu Xiu is back, he divorced her without hesitation and remarried her.
The Lu family also called the police.
They couldn't let go of this pent-up anger. Besides, Lu Xiu had said that she wasn't the only one in the village who had been trafficked; there were quite a few other women there as well.
As for how Ning Hong would live after Ning Fengshou's arrest—the Lu family had already figured it out: they would send her to an orphanage.
After the police arrived in the village, they indeed rescued many women.
These women all had teary eyes when they saw the policeman.
They were finally freed, finally saved.
"What about Ning Fengshou?"
After rescuing the women, a policeman began to inquire about Ning Fengshou's whereabouts, since their main task this time, besides rescuing the women, was to arrest Ning Fengshou.
You mean Ning Fengshou?
Where are the others?
"He died a long time ago. He fell to his death a month ago when he was chasing after his wife."
police:"······"
"You have no idea how pitiful it is to leave behind an eight-year-old child."
The aunt next door said, wiping away her tears.
"Were you sent by his mother? Can you take him to his mother?"
"this--"
The Lu family has made it clear that they absolutely do not want this child.
His sister would be traumatized by seeing him.
Therefore, if they take the child away, they can only send him to an orphanage.
Ning Hong walked past the police officers, holding a tub of ice cream in her hand and happily eating it.
"Auntie, I bought one for Xingxing too, could you give it to him for me?"
The aunt next door: "..."
"Aze, come here and beg these police officers to take you to your mother. Children always need their parents by their side." Now that Aze's father is gone, his mother can easily take him back.
"Is he Ning Hongze?"
Wasn't he supposed to be incredibly pitiful?
Their clothes and appearance are quite nice, and their complexions are even better than those of the other children in the village.
The ice cream he's holding isn't cheap either.
What is it about these children that makes them so pitiful?
The police officer looked at the woman next door with a puzzled expression.
The auntie knew she had exaggerated some things she said earlier. But she still had something to say.
"This child has no parents? Isn't he pitiful?"
"this……"
If it were phrased that way, it would indeed be somewhat pitiful, but—the woman has made it clear that she doesn't want it…
"Child, do you want to go to an orphanage?"
"An orphanage?" Ning Hong raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, there are lots of children inside who you can play with, and—"
"Uncle, do you really think I'm a child?"
If it's not a child, then what is it?
The police officer stared blankly at Ning Hongze. This person, this age, this face? How could he not be a child?
“I know very well what an orphanage is. I have no intention of going there. Since my mother doesn’t want me anymore, I naturally won’t bother her. Just consider her mother—dead!” To be honest, Ning Hong felt sad.
He had been wondering if she would come to pick her up, since she seemed reluctant to part with him.
Of course, he might not go with her, but he just wanted to see what his mother would choose.
