Chapter 61 Received news that Chanyi is still in the neighborhood
Murong Ting paused, his face grim, and said, "Answer it!"
Lin Cheng nodded and quickly accepted the call.
After a few words, he hung up the phone, his face beaming: "Young Master Ting, Chu Ning said he checked all the surveillance footage in the community these past few days and didn't see any young woman with two children leave the community. Just like you said, Chanyi is very likely still in the community."
Murong Ting's heart tightened, and he turned to Lin Cheng, saying, "Let's talk in the study."
"Okay!" Lin Cheng immediately understood. After all, Young Master Ting hadn't told the young master about the old man's illness yet, fearing that the young master would worry.
Before leaving, Murong Ting glanced at Kong Wange and said, "If you agree to these three conditions, you can stay; if not, you can move out now."
"But I advise you to wake up and not think about taking my son with you when you run away. The Murong family is not what it was five years ago. In Jiangcheng, no one can escape from under my nose, Murong Ting!"
After saying that, he led Lin Cheng into the study.
Kong Wange watched his disappearing figure with a complicated expression.
She wasn't intimidated by Murong Ting's words; she was astonished by his perseverance!
Who is actually sick?
That made him so persistent in his pursuit of Chanyi.
If he knew that Chanyi was her, and that she was still lurking right under his nose.
He'll definitely think she's deliberately playing a trick on him, and might even cruelly kick her out of the house.
Wouldn't that mean her entire plan would fall through, and she would never have the chance to see her son again, let alone persuade him to run away with her?
She felt a little flustered, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to dispel the man's suspicions.
Just then, Kong Ran came over.
"Mommy, what are you thinking about? Are you scared by Daddy?"
Murong Chen also looked worried.
He finally managed to persuade his dad and mom to live together, so he couldn't let his mom be angry with his dad.
While trying his best to find the right words, he comforted Kong Wange, saying, "Mommy, it's all Chenbao's fault for making Daddy so angry. Don't be afraid, Daddy isn't usually like this. Daddy is a gentle and warm-hearted man!"
"For example... uh, for example... Daddy is so gentle when he's asleep!"
Kong Wange came back to her senses, sighed softly, and squatted down to say to the two little ones, "Okay, Mommy knows, babies, don't worry, Mommy is fine. Mommy was just thinking about something."
Then, she patted Kong Ran's head, her face full of heartache: "Ranbao, Mommy is sorry, you've been wronged today."
Kong Ran was about to say a few words of comfort to his mother.
But the words caught in her throat. Her eyes darted around, and she adopted a pitiful expression. "Oh, yes, Mommy, I'm so glad you understand how wronged Ranbao is. Daddy is so cruel! He doesn't like me at all, and he's so mean to me. Ranbao is just a poor little thing nobody wants..."
Seeing her daughter upset, Kong Wange felt even more heartbroken.
Without thinking about anything else, she hugged Kong Ran and apologized again, "I'm sorry, baby. If you want anything, you can tell Mommy. Consider it Mommy's compensation."
Kong Ran rested her chin on Kong Wange's shoulder, her eyes sparkling, and whispered in her ear with a tearful voice, "Mommy, Ranbao doesn't have any big wishes in this life. I just want to play games with my little brother for two hours every day, and that will make me happy. Mommy, can you grant Ranbao's little wish?"
Kong Wange: "???"
She immediately sensed something was wrong, and released the child. She saw that Kong Ran was still squeezing her eyes tightly, but not a single tear fell.
"Oh dear, how embarrassing." Having been exposed for trying to play the victim, Kong Ran could no longer keep up the act.
"Crude acting." Beside him, the young movie star Murong Chen looked at him with a disappointed expression.
Kong Wange crossed her arms and looked at the two children with a leisurely air: "Tell me, whose idea was this?"
"It's my younger brother!"
"It's my older sister!"
The two were very good at betraying their teammates, pointing at each other as they talked.
"Want to play video games? Have you done the homework I assigned you?"
Have you memorized all the parts in the manual?
"Have you learned all the acupuncture techniques I asked you to practice?"
Faced with Kong Wange's three deadly questions, Kong Ran trembled with fear.
"And you, Chenbao, you'll have to learn these things from Mommy from now on."
"Ah!" Murong Chen frowned.
Kong Wange was about to give them another lecture when Kong Ran, seeing the situation was turning sour, glanced towards the study and quickly whispered, "Hey, Mommy, wait a bit before you scold us. Little Chichi must be getting impatient waiting in his room. Let's go upstairs and check on him!"
After saying that, she grabbed Murong Chen and said, "Run!"
Kong Wange shook her head as she watched Kong Ran drag Murong Chen upstairs in a flash.
This little girl is incredibly ambitious and always makes others suffer. Her worries are completely unnecessary.
Right now, it's more important to dispel Murong Ting's suspicions.
She opened her phone and found a photo she had taken in the US before. The photo was taken by her older brother when she went to pick him up abroad.
In the photo, under the setting sun, she is walking through the airport holding the hands of two little ones, one on each side; only their backs are visible among the three of them.
Back then, she had short hair and looked completely different from how she looks now.
Kong Wange examined it for a long time and felt it was safe, then sent it directly to her older brother Yan Su, who was still abroad.
“Brother, Murong Ting is still looking for me. I’ll give you a Weibo account in a bit. After you log in, help me post this photo, set the location to the airport in the United States, and write the caption ‘Three-day domestic tour over, returning home, arrived safely!’ and then spread it around.”
Not long after, Yan Su replied with "Okay".
Kong Wange felt a little more at ease.
Didn't Murong Ting think she was still in the neighborhood?
She then told him that she had left Jiangcheng and returned to M country.
After thinking for a moment, she edited another message and sent it: "I found my child. His name is Murong Chen, and he grew up with Murong Ting."
Yan Su replied instantly: "..."
Another message followed immediately: "So what happened back then? Was Aunt Zhang actually one of Murong Ting's people?"
Kong Wange: "It's a long story, let's talk about it in person. I just wanted to let you know that Chenbao doesn't want to come with me, so I might not be able to go back to the US for the time being."
Yan Su: "Okay, then I'll come back to China to find you after I've settled things here."
Kong Wange: "You're coming back?"
Yan Su: "Since you're not coming back, there's no point in me staying here."
See you back home. / Yay!
Kong Wange smiled slightly, a warmth inexplicably spreading through her heart.
Upstairs in Murong Chen's room, the three children were chatting animatedly.
"Ran-jie, is Daddy blind? Why won't he acknowledge you? You're clearly my sister!" Murong Chen said, his face full of worry.
Kong Ran pondered, "I don't know either. Maybe Daddy is sexist."
"Feudal!" Murong Chen and Kong Chi exclaimed in unison.
After saying that, Murong Chen looked at Kong Ran with a pained expression: "Sister Ran, I apologize to you on behalf of Daddy. Please forgive him this time."
"He's old and old-fashioned. We young people shouldn't take it to heart. If you have any grievances, take them out on me. I, Murong Chen, will take them on!"
