Chapter 460: Strange Red Embroidered Shoes
Xiao Rui was huddled at the door with a fierce look on his face, and was pulled inside by Qi Chong.
He ran towards Shen Wan with his short legs, "Cousin aunt~~"
Before Shen Wan could react, Xiao Rui threw himself into her arms, his voice soft and sticky, without any of the arrogance of a young master.
Shen Wan pushed him away, looking indifferent: "Does your grandfather know that you are here?"
Xiao Rui pouted: "Grandpa went back to his family. I heard that great-grandfather was very angry. Grandpa doesn't have time to deal with me now!"
"I asked someone to check, and it turns out you are my cousin~"
Xiao Rui grabbed the corner of Shen Wan's clothes, tilted his head, and said cutely: "Cousin, I want to be as powerful as you!"
Shen Wan was speechless and pointed two fingers at Xiao Rui's forehead.
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and fell asleep.
She threw the man to Qi Chong like a chicken and said, "Send him back."
Qi Chong nodded: "If Xiao Renliang finds out that this little ancestor is missing again, he will definitely come to our house and go crazy. The Xiao family members are emotionally unstable, so it's better to stay away from them."
Just as he was carrying Xiao Rui out of the house with one hand, he saw a pair of red embroidered shoes at the door of the office.
The red embroidered shoes appeared suddenly, as if they came out of thin air.
The red color of the embroidered shoes was strangely overly bright. It didn't look like it was dyed with a dye, but more like the color that was soaked through layers of blood, a strong scarlet red.
"Boss, come and see!" Qi Chong shouted hurriedly.
Shen Wan walked closer and took a look. Others couldn't see it, but she clearly saw a faint blood thread coming out of the red embroidered shoes, and the other end was tied to Xiao Rui's delicate wrist.
"I came here with Xiao Rui." She said, "Don't send him back yet, go give Mr. Xiao a call."
Qi Chong put Xiao Rui down.
The moment the call was connected, he heard the sound of someone being beaten with a stick from the other side, accompanied by Mr. Xiao's furious questioning.
Qi Chong quickly turned on the speakerphone.
Only the angry voice of Mr. Xiao was heard.
"How dare you bastards hide such a big secret from me!"
"Xiao Wan is obviously my biological granddaughter, but you actually sent a fake to me. A fake who has replaced Xiao Wan's life for 18 years. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Xiao Renliang's helpless voice came: "Father, it is precisely because I am worried that you will insist on taking Shen Wan back to recognize her ancestral home after knowing her true identity, so Wen Li and I found a fake one to bring back."
"Chen Wan is destined to bring disaster upon herself and bring misfortune to her relatives!"
"Wen Li has already calculated that if she is allowed to return to her roots, the Xiao family will definitely be defeated by her, and everyone will be killed by her!"
"Bullshit!" Old Xiao said angrily, "Stop making such alarmist remarks!"
"Father, I'm not exaggerating. You've met Wen Li, right? His current fate is because of Shen Wan."
Xiao Renliang said helplessly: "If Chen Wan didn't have this fate of harming people, I would definitely take her home happily and take good care of her, but I can't gamble with the lives of all the Xiao family members!"
"Father, do you want to let the Xiao family fall and let your children and grandchildren die or get hurt just because of Chen Wan?"
Mr. Xiao on the other end fell silent.
The housekeeper hurried over with the phone in hand, "Grandpa, it's Qi Chong calling."
Old Mr. Xiao glared at his eldest son and took the phone to answer it.
Qi Chong coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Rui came to our office by himself. My boss told you not to worry."
Mr. Xiao's stern face became much kinder, "Rui Rui's mischief didn't affect you, did it?"
"It has no impact, except that a pair of red embroidered shoes followed him." Qi Chong said truthfully.
Mr. Xiao didn't understand: "What red embroidered shoes?"
"They are the red embroidered shoes that brides used to wear, with blood stains on them. Xiao Rui might be haunted by a ghost."
Mr. Xiao's face changed drastically: "I'll be there right away!"
When Xiao Renliang heard his grandson's name, he immediately became anxious, "Father, what happened to Ruirui? Did Chen Wan take Ruirui away?"
Old Xiao was furious, "Why did Xiao Wan arrest your grandson? He went to find Shen Wan, and there was a ghost following him!"
When Xiao Renliang heard that his grandson was haunted by a ghost, he could no longer kneel and hurried to get up.
"Kneel down!" Old Xiao shouted angrily, "You have made such a big mistake and you still dare to stand up?"
"And you two!"
The other two people are Xiao Jing and his father Xiao Shenghai.
Compared with Xiao Renliang's confident arguments, the two of them seemed much more aggrieved.
"Grandpa, let me go with you." Xiao Jing raised his hand weakly, "Wanwan and I are quite familiar with each other..."
Old Xiao glared at him: "You are not a good guy either. You knew that Xiao Wan was a family and you hid it from me. You should kneel down too!"
Xiao Jing: “…”
He was threatened by his second uncle!
It’s none of his business!
Mr. Xiao asked the butler to keep an eye on the three people and no one was allowed to get up without his permission.
After that, I rushed to the office as quickly as possible.
When he arrived, Shen Wan was holding the red embroidered shoes and examining them.
"Xiao Wan~" Old Mr. Xiao smiled and looked very amiable.
When he came to see Shen Wan, he did not forget to bring a bunch of gifts.
Chen Wan didn't look away, but said calmly: "Xiao Rui is fine, I'll leave the red embroidered shoes, you can take him away."
Old Xiao glanced at Xiao Rui who was sleeping soundly in the rocking chair and smiled: "This child likes you. He has been talking about you every day since he came home. It's good for him to be closer to you."
Shen Wan was about to say something when his eyes suddenly paused.
The red thread that she had just cut off suddenly emerged and reconnected to Xiao Rui's wrist.
Shen Wan frowned.
Mr. Xiao noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
He looked at the sleeping Xiao Rui in confusion. He was originally sleeping soundly, but suddenly he became restless. His two caterpillar-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and beads of sweat soon covered his forehead.
Shen Wan quickly walked over, tapped his forehead with two fingers, and muttered something.
"Tai Chi opens and closes, the universe turns into a shadow, the evil quickly retreats!"
The anxious Xiao Rui's frown gradually relaxed and his breathing became steady.
However, the blood-colored thread connected to his wrist still existed strangely.
Shen Wan gently patted Xiao Rui's little face and woke him up: "What did you dream about?"
"Cousin?" Xiao Rui woke up sleepily, threw himself into Chen Wan's arms, and burst into tears.
"Wow, wow, wow—Tiantian wants to eat me! That's scary!"
Mr. Xiao had a serious expression: "Tiantian? Who is Tiantian?"
Xiao Rui sobbed, as if he was frightened out of his wits, and kept repeating: "Tiantian wants to eat me! Aunt, help me!"
Mr. Xiao quickly called Xiao Renliang and asked him who Tiantian was.
Xiao Renliang didn't know who his grandson was talking about, so he had to ask his daughter-in-law again.
I learned from Ruirui’s mother that Tiantian is a good friend Xiaorui met in kindergarten. The two have been playing together since the small class until now.
