Feng Yueyue has been feeling uneasy lately.
After the holidays, besides doing her homework at home and going to her godmother's house to learn dance regularly, she would go to the supermarket with Feng Xudong.
Whenever she went out, she felt someone was watching her from behind.
Thinking of the beggars and human traffickers that everyone was talking about, Feng Yueyue felt horrified and quickly told her parents.
When Feng Xudong heard that, he immediately became anxious and shouted that he would call the police.
In comparison, Yu Rou seemed much calmer. She first held her husband down, saying that the police might not accept the case without evidence. She then hugged her daughter and whispered to comfort her, telling her not to be afraid.
The couple did not doubt Feng Yueyue's words, nor did they think she was scaring herself. After carefully asking about the situation, Yu Rou said:
"Let's go find Xi Feng."
They can't analyze anything by themselves. Xi Feng is a policeman, so he might be able to hear some clues.
Yu Rou and Feng Xudong discussed it briefly and decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
If you tell Lu Chunxiu and Cao Xiu, the former will be worried and unable to sleep at night, and the latter will probably just become a door god.
In the evening, they didn't care about etiquette and rushed to the compound in a hurry.
Unfortunately, Xi Feng was not there.
"That guy couldn't find his wife, so he just reported for annual leave without saying a word and quietly ran off to chase Zhiya."
Xi Jun felt helpless when talking about his son. He is already a father, but he is still as young and energetic as a boy.
Bai Lan asked someone to make tea for Feng Xudong and his wife, and asked softly:
"Is there something urgent you need from Xi Feng?"
Although Xi Feng is not here, Xi Jun still has some say and may be more perceptive than Xi Feng.
Yu Rou hesitated for a moment and then expressed Feng Yueyue's feelings.
"Yueyue had a miserable life. She was kidnapped when she was little. That family wasn't good either. After giving birth to a son, they treated Yueyue as a burden. She was indeed scared, but she never lied. Uncle Xi, what do you think we should do?"
human traffickers.
Xi Jun's face turned serious when he heard this. This was no small matter. There had been a lot of turbulent things happening recently and it was very chaotic.
If a human trafficker appeared under Xi Feng's nose, it would be a big deal.
"Can you tell me more specifically, which places are they?"
Afraid that Yueyue would recall the unpleasant past, Bai Lan took the initiative to stand up and take the child for a walk in the yard, leaving the space for Xi Jun and others.
Yueyue held Bailan's hand, her expression somewhat solemn.
"Grandma Bai, is my matter bothering Grandpa Xi?"
At such a young age, he actually said such sensible words, which made Bai Lan feel so much love for him. She quickly said:
"Grandpa Xi is a public servant. It's his duty to help the people solve their problems. Why would he be afraid of trouble? If you find something wrong, speak up bravely. Grandma Bai will praise you. But think about it. If you were afraid of trouble and didn't dare to speak up, and something really happened, how sad your parents would be?"
Feng Yueyue thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. Although her parents were very worried now, it was better than being sad.
Bai Lan couldn't help but sigh. Fearing that she would touch upon Yueyue's sad story, she took her to the sandpit in the courtyard, where many children played in the evening.
It might be better if you have a friend.
"Bai Lan, you came out early today."
"Hey, is this your child? Why does he look a little unfamiliar?"
As soon as Bai Lan appeared, neighbors and acquaintances came forward to greet her. They were even more surprised to see the delicate and graceful Feng Yueyue.
They had all seen the Xi family's children before, but this was obviously not the one in front of them.
"My relative's child happened to be visiting, so I took her out to play. What about your granddaughter? They're about the same age, right? Why don't you let her take Yueyue out to play together?"
The Xi family has always been popular in the compound. Bai Lan spoke, and soon several children were called over and led Feng Yueyue to build a fort in the sandpit.
The adults walked around the open space in groups of three or five, chatting about family matters, and the protagonists of their conversations were the Peng family in the compound.
"The son of the Peng family remarried, and he actually ran away during the wedding. I saw him from a distance that day, and the bride was far worse than the previous one. No wonder she ran away."
"How can we get a divorce if we're so far apart? I don't think it's that simple."
"Well, this is a tragic story. The first one gave birth to a daughter, the only child in the entire Peng family, and then she disappeared! They haven't had another child in all these years. There must be something wrong with their relationship."
Although the events of the early years were not publicized, some people still knew about it and accidentally told it out.
Bai Lan's heart trembled when she heard this, and she quickly asked:
"That can't be right. That's the Peng family's child. Who would dare to kidnap her? Besides, I've seen the Peng family's granddaughter before. Isn't her name Peng Nuan?"
"You only saw one child, but my nanny and the Peng family's nanny are very familiar with each other. I heard that although they are both called Peng Nuan, this one is adopted. They say they found the child just to give them some comfort."
No matter what era, gossip always spreads the fastest.
Bai Lan was very shocked. The Peng family only had this one child, but they didn't continue to look for him. Instead, they brought him back to deceive themselves. Isn't that like stabbing the mother in the heart?
No wonder they want to divorce.
"Hey, stop talking. The new daughter-in-law of the Peng family is here. It would be bad if someone heard us."
Someone with sharp eyes immediately reported the news. Bai Lan took a quick look and saw Pang Meiting wearing a high-end woolen suit that didn't fit her well, holding the hand of the elegantly dressed Peng Nuan.
Although the two chatted and laughed, their pace was completely out of sync. The child was bounding forward desperately, while Pang Meiting was like a colorful peacock, pacing leisurely.
In fact, Pang Meiting had already cursed Peng Nuan in her heart.
They're not even Peng's biological children, so what's the point of being so noble? Why are you running out for a walk instead of waiting for dinner?
She had just entered the Peng family, so the betrothal gift would never be touched. But Peng Bo was the only son of a wealthy family, and he didn't have much money in his bank account!
Pang Meiting hadn't had time to buy some nice clothes. She also had to pretend to be virtuous and agree to accompany Peng Nuan on a trip. It would be embarrassing to be too shabby to meet people outside the compound, so she had no choice but to ask Zhuo Qiang to borrow a set of old clothes to change into.
Peng Nuan didn't care about her embarrassment. The more uncomfortable Pang Meiting was, the happier she was.
She wanted to bring him out on purpose.
There are so many uncles, aunts, grandparents in the compound. Dad ran away at the wedding before, and the new mother has already lost face. It doesn’t matter if she loses face again.
Let others provoke her and make her realize that she is not worthy of the Peng family at all!
"Nuannuan, there are a lot of kids in the sandpit over there, you can go play with them too."
Pang Meiting wanted to shake the man off immediately, her hand was almost dislocated, but when she looked towards the sand pit, she saw a very familiar face.
Huh.
Why does that kid look so much like Bloomberg’s ex-wife?
Before she got married, she went to Wan Jingjing's workplace and saw her from afar.
And that chin is exactly the same as Bloomberg's!
