Li Yumei couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she saw how much Tan Xiangchen cared about the two little guys, Liubao and Dabao.
She secretly made up her mind that once Tan Xiangchen recovered from his illness, she would let the two little guys leave immediately. She didn't want anyone to compete with her for favor, and she didn't want anyone to be more favored by Tan Xiangchen than her.
Liubao and Dabao hurriedly thanked Tan Xiangchen: "Thank you, Grandpa."
The two little guys were very cautious. They first observed Tan Xiangchen and Li Yumei eating before they dared to pick up their chopsticks.
After all, they don't understand the situation here, nor do they know the true identities of these two people.
Although Tan Xiangchen was very kind to them and made them feel familiar, they still remained vigilant.
Moreover, their bags were taken away by Li Yumei, and now it has become very difficult for them to contact the outside world.
…
At six o'clock the next morning, the sky over Pengcheng was just beginning to turn pale.
Li Yuzhu and Tan Zhengfan appeared at the Pengcheng airport dragging simple luggage.
The third brother had been waiting outside the station for a long time. When he saw them, he immediately came over, took the luggage, and said enthusiastically, "Auntie, Zhengfan, come this way. Zhengchu asked us to take you home."
Then, the three of them got in the car and drove towards the Tan family.
On the other side, Tan Zhengchu had not slept all night.
He was extremely anxious and had been running around looking for the whereabouts of Liubao and Dabao.
He went to the Ministry of Transport, and after some effort, he finally found out where the vehicle that Liubao and his friends were riding in went after it left Pengcheng.
Seeing that Tan Zhengchu looked exhausted, Lin Quan handed him a cup of coffee and said softly, "Zhengchu, don't worry too much. We have found out where the vehicle went. As long as we follow this route, we will definitely be able to find Liubao and Dabao."
Tan Zhengchu took the coffee but didn't drink it. He just sighed heavily and said, "They are children after all. I'm afraid they will be bullied and abused outside. As a father, I really can't rest assured."
At this moment, Lin Quan suddenly remembered something and reminded Tan Zhengchu: "Zhengchu, your mother has arrived in Pengcheng, you should go back to see her first."
Tan Zhengchu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back now, and we'll set out to look for Liu Bao and the others later."
At this time, Su Yingxue was still asleep.
Suddenly, the sound of a car woke her up from her sleep.
She opened her eyes drowsily and saw her daughter sleeping soundly beside her.
She gently laid her daughter back down on the pillows before standing and walking out of the room.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw several cars parked on the parking lot outside the main building. She couldn't help but wonder, thinking that Tan Zhengchu had returned.
Just when Su Yingxue was full of doubts, Li Yuzhu, Tan Zhengfan and others walked into the house with a cold air.
Su Yingxue saw them and asked in surprise, "Auntie, Zhengfan, why did you come back so early in the night?"
Li Yuzhu looked solemn, sighed, and said, "It's because Liubao and Dabao got into trouble. As soon as we heard about it, we rushed over."
Then, she comforted Su Yingxue, "Yingxue, don't worry too much. Although her child is a little willful, she won't hurt Liubao and the others. I plan to exchange myself for the grandchildren, and I believe she will agree."
Su Yingxue was confused when she heard Li Yuzhu say "she". She couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, who is the 'she' you are talking about?"
Li Yuzhu looked sad, and sighed, "It was my sister Li Yumei. She took Dabao and Liubao away."
Su Yingxue was shocked and realized that Tan Zhengchu had not lied to her before. Everything he said was true. It turned out that he had been quietly investigating the whereabouts of Liubao and the others.
After a while, everyone gathered in the living room.
When Tan Zhengchu walked into the house and saw the servants moving the luggage, he ordered, "Take the luggage to the room."
Then he strode to the sofa, sat down next to Su Yingxue and Li Yuzhu, and prepared to have a good chat with them.
Tan Zhengfan looked anxious and couldn't wait to ask Li Yuzhu: "Mom, what's going on? Tell me quickly."
Li Yuzhu looked a little uneasy. She subconsciously reached into her pocket as if she wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Tan Zhengchu was quick to move and held her hand, saying softly, "Mom, stop smoking. It's not good for your health."
Li Yuzhu's face was filled with tension, anxiety, fear, and many other complex emotions that Su Yingxue could not understand.
Seeing this, Tan Zhengfan said to Aunt Chen, the servant beside him, "Aunt Chen, take Mom upstairs to rest for a while."
Li Yuzhu waved her hand and said, "Don't do that yet. When Zhengchu comes back, notify me to go upstairs."
After Li Yuzhu and Aunt Chen left, Su Yingxue looked at Tan Zhengfan with curiosity in her eyes.
Tan Zhengfan also understood her thoughts, so he took the initiative to talk about his mother Li Yuzhu's past: "Sister-in-law, you don't know that after losing my father, my mother suffered from severe depression. At that time, she was unable to take care of herself and had no way to take good care of my brother, so my brother had a difficult childhood. The grandfathers also blamed my mother for my father's death, and she had no choice but to take my brother away."
Su Yingxue was surprised to hear that Zhengchu's mother Li Yuzhu had gone through so much hardship. She couldn't help but feel guilty for her previous misunderstanding of Li Yuzhu. She always thought that she was a romantic woman who abandoned Tan Zhengchu, but she didn't expect that these were all illusions.
At this time, Tan Zhengchu came home. He saw Su Yingxue still in the living room, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of anger: "Why are you still here? Can your body bear it? Don't you know how to rest well?"
Su Yingxue leaned on Tan Zhengchu, feeling his warmth, and felt at ease. She explained softly, "I just woke up. Actually, I've been worried about you."
When Tan Zhengfan saw Tan Zhengchu coming back, he immediately stood up, walked up to him, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother, you are finally back." Tan Zhengfan liked to follow Tan Zhengchu since he was a child. He was full of admiration for his brother, and this special feeling could be seen in his eyes.
Tan Zhengchu patted Tan Zhengfan on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The company's affairs during this period are all thanks to you. I have seen your work performance, and you have done a good job."
Tan Zhengfan scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then reminded Tan Zhengchu: "Brother, Mom is not in a good mood. Go upstairs and see her later."
Tan Zhengchu hugged Su Yingxue and watched her eyes turn red with tears still rolling down her cheeks. She looked haggard and helpless.
Tan Zhengchu felt so distressed that he gently reached out his hand, rubbed her head, and said softly, "Yingxue, don't cry. If you cry any more, your eyes will be damaged."
