To everyone's surprise, the relevant departments came knocking on their door, and Zheng Tianming and Zheng Lin went outside upon seeing this.
"That's right, someone called the police saying he was a witness to the serial kidnappings." As he spoke, one of them produced his identification.
Zheng Tianming was completely bewildered.
At this moment, Xu Lu got up from the sofa and walked over. This was no longer a question of whether his parents were arguing or not. Since he had witnessed the bad guy, he was not going to let him escape right under his nose.
He would be uneasy for the rest of his life if he backed down out of fear and let the bad guys get away with it. So many innocent children are his age.
My grandfather and father did not back down when faced with gunfire, and he will not back down either!
“It was me who made the call.” Xu Lu said as she walked over: “I remember what he looks like. He has a wide nose, his left canine tooth is shorter than his right, and he has a black mole on his collarbone.”
Xu Mengyu and Xu Sichen looked at each other, this child: "..." really takes after his roots.
Zheng Tianming held Xu Lu in his arms, letting him sit on his arm, and gently supported his back with his large hand.
Xu Lu spoke clearly and answered every question. Although he felt cold sweat, fear, and panic when he thought about what happened that night, he still recounted the whole incident clearly.
After everyone left.
Xu Sichen walked over, propped himself up on his legs with his hands, and looked intently at Xu Lu, whose chin was resting on Zheng Tianming's shoulder.
"Grandpa..." Xu Lu said a little shyly, slowly extending her hand.
Xu Mengyu looked at Zheng Tianming; she seemed to have no trust in him at all, and she felt a little guilty...
Xu Sichen hugged Xu Lu in his arms: "I'd like to see who's after my grandson." His eyes drooped slightly.
Zheng Tianming walked to Xu Mengyu's side and put his hand on her shoulder: "Miss, tell me, what were you thinking when you opened the door just now?"
"Uncle, is it time to eat?" Xu Mengyu turned her head and called out loudly to Pei Xiuyan, who was busy in the kitchen.
They were so far away, and the kitchen door was closed, that Pei Xiuyan couldn't hear anything.
“She just glared at you.” Xu Sichen said, then carried Xu Lu to the study.
Xu Mengyu quickly turned her head to look at Xu Sichen's back: "Dad! How can you do this?"
Xu Sichen, of course, ignored it.
He's best at tricking his daughter.
Zheng Tianming pressed his fingertips against Xu Mengyu's cheek: "Look at me, Miss, please answer my question carefully."
"You're yelling at me?" Xu Mengyu said, slapping Zheng Tianming's hand away. "You think you're the only one who can yell at people?"
When Pei Lan brought out the dishes and heard this sentence, his eyebrows twitched. The wording was the same, and it was obvious that they had discussed it a lot in the group.
"No way, you're starting to cause trouble for no reason?" Zheng Tianming said, then hugged Xu Mengyu. "Shouldn't we call it even?"
“Okay, we’re even.” Xu Mengyu nodded obediently.
Zheng Tianming kissed Xu Mengyu's cheek, leaving a red mark, before going to the kitchen to help.
Xu Mengyu rubbed her aching face. Had he misunderstood her meaning as "even"?
It wasn't until dinner that Xu Sichen carried Xu Lu out of the study, and the two of them chatted happily about something.
Xu Lu, in particular, was practically jumping for joy.
Xu Mengyu placed the served rice on the table: "We can pick up Miaomiao and the baby next week."
Ye Yuncheng, holding chopsticks, said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Li Mirui handed Ye Yuncheng a custard bun, saying, "Try this, it's really delicious."
"What exactly are you plotting? Can you tell me?" Xu Mengyu wasn't stupid; they were being so obvious.
Just as Ye Yuncheng was about to speak, Feng Xi placed a piece of braised pork in her bowl: "As expected of Professor Pei's cooking, it's fatty but not greasy. You should try it."
“Uncle, you will definitely tell me, right?” Xu Mengyu said, looking at Pei Xiuyan who was pulling out a chair.
Pei Xiuyan smiled gently, showing no intention of answering.
“...”
These people, I wonder what kind of bad things they're up to.
“What could we possibly be hiding from you? Aren’t you about to open your business?” Li Mirui said, then sat down next to Ye Yuncheng.
Does that mean Xu Mengyu understands?
They must have prepared a huge surprise for her!
She was serving the rice so quickly; it must be good that they had prepared it. She was almost impatient to eat it.
"I need to eat quickly, I need to go see Miaomiao later." Ye Yuncheng said, picking up her bowl. She had come straight home from a meeting at the company.
She usually goes straight to the hospital after get off work. Jiang Yi couldn't pack her things, so she asked her to come back and make the trip.
Xu Mengyu had originally wanted to get some information out of him, wondering what the surprise was.
Pei Lan pushed up his glasses and looked at his mother with a meaningful gaze. It was hard for him not to know, so he had already made preparations in advance.
He hadn't told Wanwan about this yet. She'd been in a much better mood lately, and he didn't want to dampen her spirits.
Xu Lu swung his legs as he ate braised pork. His grandfather praised him for being responsible and a real man, which made him beam with joy.
"What are you so happy about, wiggling your little bottom like that?" Xu Mengyu turned to look at Xu Lu, who couldn't suppress the smile even while eating.
Zheng Tianming reached out and pinched his chubby little face: "You got praised?"
No one knows a son better than his father, just like his mother, who praised the little peacock for spreading its tail feathers on the spot.
Xu Lu nodded.
"Oh right, Chen Han has been found." Xu Sichen had almost forgotten about this.
Xu Mengyu almost choked: "What?" She had already returned all the money that her fans had given her.
The show was never very engaging to begin with, it was like a makeshift operation. Fans were only spending money because they felt bad for her. Now that Chen Han had left, she couldn't let her fans down too much.
Xu Sichen picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth: "But he's already dead. His body was claimed by his family a few months ago."
This result was unexpected. Li Mirui looked up at Xu Sichen, her expression revealing her true feelings.
Xu Sichen reached out and pinched Li Mirui's nose: "You've never been able to clear up the misunderstanding about me in half your life?"
If he did it, this matter would have been settled long ago. Xu Mengyu refused to let him get involved, saying she could handle it herself.
The matter was indeed resolved in her own way, but Chen Han's whereabouts remained unknown.
"How did you die?" Xu Mengyu asked.
Xu Sichen's hand was slapped, and he looked at Li Mirui with a wronged expression: "I heard that he owes a lot of gambling debts and can't pay them back..." As he said this, he looked at Pei Xiuyan.
Pei Xiuyan was eating with his bowl in hand: "..."
Not only Xu Sichen, but everyone except Ye Yuncheng was looking at him.
"Wife, would you like to try some pork rib soup?" Pei Xiuyan asked slowly, his voice low but filled with tenderness.
Ye Yuncheng held up her hand with chopsticks in her hand: "Drink, I want a large bowl."
Zheng Tianming stood up and put his arm around Xu Mengyu's waist: "Didn't you say your back hurt? Come on, let me rub it for you..."
From his perspective, the less he knows about his elders' affairs, the better.
