The Mei Family didn’t sleep well that night. Suppression, anger, shame, troubled everyone in the Mei Family.

The next day, Xie Lingzhi angrily took out all of Hua Hua’s belongings and burned them in the courtyard, making smoke fill the sky.

Passersby couldn’t help asking, "Saozi from the Mei Family, what’s going on? Why are you burning Hua Hua’s clothes?"

"Sick, contagious," Xie Lingzhi said coldly with her head down, it was a thoughtless remark.

This made the passersby quickly avoid the area.

Xie Lingzhi frowned and let out a cold snort.

....

"Old man, the child hasn’t woken up yet. Will he be hungry?" The couple didn’t choose to take the train but instead took a bus.

Moreover, this bus journey required several transfers. Each ride wasn’t long, seeing the elderly couple with a sleeping child, others would just think the child slept throughout and wouldn’t suspect anything. It was almost time to reach home, and the child hadn’t eaten for two days and nights, which worried Li Liang’s mother.

"It’s fine, we have been feeding him water all the way. He’ll definitely be hungry, but we’ll be home soon. Once we get home, if the child cries, we’ll just coax him. No way can he wake up on the road. If he wakes up and cries to find Mei Family, we’ll be in trouble, people on the bus will surely take us as child traffickers." To avoid unnecessary trouble, they could only feed the child some medicine.

Both of them were feeling uneasy, they didn’t know how the Mei Family would handle this when they found out they had taken the child.

If the Mei Family shamelessly reported to the police, things could go really wrong. Especially Li Liang’s mother, the more she thought, the more she felt they had been too reckless.

The couple thought it over, and decided that they wouldn’t go home immediately after returning to S City. Instead, they’d take the child to a place to stay for some time. If there was no movement, they’d go back. Meanwhile, they could use this time to bond well with the child.

Li Liang’s father and Li Liang’s mother got off the train and directly went to stay temporarily at a friend’s small courtyard.

When Hua Hua woke up, seeing the unfamiliar environment, he cried continuously, his voice exhausting.

Li Liang’s parents hurriedly comforted him, buying various toys for the child. Li Liang’s mother knew what Hua Hua liked to eat and specially made his favorite dishes.

The child was undoubtedly starving, seeing the food, he ate large mouthfuls while crying, but he missed Mom, missed Grandma. He wanted to go back.

But this Aunt Li claimed she was his real grandma, and the old man beside her was his real grandpa.

Hua Hua, being smart, felt he had been tricked and taken away secretly by this old woman. He didn’t know where this place was or how to get out.

Little Star had told him, if you encounter bad people, you should run to the police station, and you would be safe.

But he was watched so closely by these two people, he couldn’t run out at all.

He could only cry loudly, hoping to attract a kind-hearted person to come over.

Li Liang’s mother and Li Liang’s father spent these days in the small courtyard, thinking of ways to soothe Hua Hua.

.....

Meanwhile, in Capital City, Mei Langchi returned home happily with money from selling the factory.

He was greeted with a slap that almost knocked him down.

"You beast, you still have the face to come back."

Mei Langchi didn’t understand what was going on, frowned and touched his face, and coldly replied to Mei Shuping, "What are you doing, hitting me without any reason as soon as I got back, maybe it’s your son behind this?"

Mei Shuping was so angered by Mei Langchi’s words that his hand trembled, pointing at Mei Langchi, he said to his wife, "Xiao Zhi, you see, this is our son."

This time, Xie Lingzhi didn’t protect Mei Langchi, she approached and gave her son a slap.

This stunned Mei Langchi, he didn’t understand what mistake he made to cause even his most doting mom to hit him. This was the first time his mom hit him in his entire life.

"Xiao Chi, you really let me down, tell me, whose child is Hua Hua?"

As soon as these words came out, Mei Langchi snapped out of it, frowned, and glanced around the room, not seeing the child.

"Did you hear it from Ye Qing?" Mei Langchi thought Ye Qing had recovered and deliberately told the Mei Family about the child.

"Hmph, don’t mention that woman to me, let me tell you, Xiao Chi, today you must speak clearly, is Hua Hua that Li Liang’s son? His parents came over for their grandson, didn’t even notify us, and just sneaked off with the boy."
