Chapter 363 - Chen Chen Is My Daughter
Chen Chen and Tuan Zi were staying at the hotel, which was a five-star hotel.
“Anyway, it’s that asshole’s card, and I can’t miss the chance!”
She was lying on the sofa holding a pillow, and Tuan Zi was sitting opposite her.
“Mom…”
“Don’t talk to me, you actually colluded with that guy.” Chen Chen was so angry that she was tearful.
It turned out that the Wen family had received a threatening letter recently, defiantly sending a clear message that they would kidnap children, so they deliberately used the carnival that day. In order not to attract attention, Jiang Rui went along with Tuan Zi and her to visit the amusement park.
“Dad did that for the little boy,” Tuan Zi whispered, “Besides, I’m okay!”
Chen Chen suddenly looked at her seriously. “I ask you, if mom had been caught by the gangsters today and a gun was pointed at her, would you be afraid? Would you cry?”
“I would.” Tuan Zi said without even thinking about it, and then she threw herself into Chen Chen’s arms. “I’m sorry, mom. I know I was wrong, and I won’t keep it a secret from you again!”
Chen Chen hugged her. “Do you know how scared I was when I saw that you were caught by the gangsters today? All of you knew what was going on, but mom didn’t know! I saw you being pointed at with a gun, and I just thought about rushing to save you.”
“Woo… Sorry. I’m sorry, mom!” Tuan Zi probably understood what Chen Chen felt, and she cried sadly. “I will never lie to you again!”
“If you dare to lie to me again, I will leave,” Chen Chen said indignantly, “Especially if you lie to me for the sake of that asshole!”
Tuan Zi didn’t dare to put in a word for Jiang Rui, and she just nodded and huddled herself up in Chen Chen’s arms. Both the mother and the daughter were probably tired of crying, covering themselves with a blanket at hand and falling asleep together.
Chen Chen considered staying far away from Jiang Rui in the future, without knowing that the Wan family were going crazy!
“You say that Tuan Zi is the child of the Wan family.” Xin Qing couldn’t get it for a while. “What… what does it mean…?”
Chen Huan walked around excitedly. “It means that the mother of Tuan Zi is Liuliu!”
Xin Qing got excited, too. “Really? Are you sure?”
“I am sure!” Chen Huan held her hand and ran circles together with Xin Qing.
The door was opened and Ying Cheng came in. “Mom, why did you call me back in such a hurry?”
“Chengcheng!” Chen Huan rushed over to him. “What’s the name of Tuan Zi’s mother?”
Ying Cheng looked at her with a strange look. “She’s called Chen Chen! She has the same family name as yours!”
Chen Huan nodded while smiling. “She really is Liuliu, and it’s her formal name!”
“Liuliu’s family name is not Wan?” Ying Cheng was also shocked. “Then… then she married Brother Xiao Rui!”
“Liuliu was discontent with the family name of Wan, so she decided to have the same family name as mine!” Chen Huan said with her eyes open widely and asked, “You just said Liuliu married Ah Rui??”
Ying Cheng was choked by Chen Huan and couldn’t say a word.
“Let him go. He can’t speak.” Xin Qing brought him closer to her. “Have they obtained the marriage certificates?”
“Yeah!” Ying Cheng touched his neck and nodded. “But… they are married for the sake of Tuan Zi, not because of love.”
Chen Huan hurriedly asked, “Do they live together?”
“Of course!” Ying Cheng did not know that Chen Chen had run away from home with Tuan Zi.
Xin Qing pounded the table. “Call them back right away!”
“Wait a minute,” Chen Huan stopped her. “Chengcheng, you can go out first, I have something to say to your mother.”
Ying Cheng said yes and ran off.
“What’s wrong?” Xin Qing looked at her. “Don’t you want to see Liuliu?”
Chen Huan sighed. “I’ve been dreaming of seeing her all these years.”
When Liuliu ran away from home, she left a message and asked Boss Wan not to look for her. Otherwise, with the means of the Wan family, as long as she was still on earth, they could definitely find her. Liuliu said that she had forgotten the matter in a special way, and that she did not want to keep in contact with her past, which would make her live in pain forever.
“If we call them back now, Liuliu will definitely recall the past.” Chen Huan bit her lip. “Ah Rui must not know that she is Liuliu. Anyway, they are together now. It will be better to allow them to develop their relationship further, and when they fall in love, Ah Rui must have the ability to help Liuliu!”
Xin Qing patted her on the hand. “As it stands, you can’t see her now.”
“It’s okay. Anyway, I have been waiting for so many years, I don’t mind waiting for another two years.” Chen Huan wiped her tears. “By the way, could you please do me a favor?”
Xin Qing gave her a look. “Don’t mention it!”
“Well!” Chen Huan sniffed. “Don’t ask Ah Rui to come here in the Chinese New Year. In case that Liuliu follows him to come here, her identity will be disclosed. You can spend the Spring Festival with Ying Qingcang in the capital, and you can drop to see Liuliu.”
Xin Qing thought for a moment and promised with a nod. “Well, no problem. I want to see her, too.”
“You are the right person to see her, even Xunxun would be a wrong person. Liuliu must be afraid to see us. If you go to see her, she should feel relieved. After all, you just saw her when she was a child. She must think that you can’t recognize her now.”
Xin Qing understood what she meant. “I will see her in the name of Xiao Rui’s mother. That way, she won’t be afraid to see me!”
They asked Ying Cheng to enter, and told him to never to spill the beans. They were afraid that he was not reliable, so Xin Qing even threatened to stop Ying Cheng from being a bounty hunter if he allowed Jiang Rui to learn that Chen Chen was Liuliu.
When Jiang Rui entered the army on the second day, he found that everyone, those whom he met whether in training or on the road, looked at him with a strange look after giving a salute to him. Bear, Scar and Xiao Si were waiting for him in the office, and seeing him come in, they stood up straighter than usual.
“How is it going?” Jiang Rui sat down and asked.
“They have confessed everything!” Bear began to report. “They are sent from East Africa. Because of the illegal drugs sold on the black market, Wen Pintang destroyed their two bases. It seems that this group of people plan to avenge him brazenly. You helped him this time, but he may not be lucky enough next time.”
Jiang Rui frowned. “I can’t let anything happen to Wen Pingtang. He can dominate the Wen family, and without him, the people in the Wen family would go crazy.”
“Yes, then… do we need to keep watching them?”
“No.” Jiang Rui snorted. “It will be fine if he’s busy. If there’s something he can’t solve, he will naturally ask for our help. Doing Wen Pintang a favor is greatly rewarding.”
Bear nodded, and then stood still without saying anything. Jiang Rui pondered for a while and found that all three of them were still standing there.
“Anything else?”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“Yes… No…”
Three people gave three answers.
Jiang Rui threw the hat on the table. “Say it. I’m afraid that you will die if you suppress yourselves too much.”
“Boss!” Scar could not help saying it out, “Are you not going to find Mrs. Jiang?”
Bear and Xiao Si also stared at Jiang Rui. He glanced at them. “You’ve just reminded me that she assaulted a soldier, she should be arrested.”
“Boss…” Xiao Si got anxious. “How could Mrs. Jiang’s action be considered to assault a soldier? You don’t know how scared she was at that time. It was normal for her to slap you…” Bear covered Xiao Si’s mouth, silently yelling at him. “You’re gonna die!”
Sure enough, Jiang Rui’s face clouded, and he snorted. “You sure can talk about how scared she was so she dared to hit me!”
“When Tuan Zi was kidnapped, I saw Mrs. Jiang tremble all over and bite her lips. Her tears covered her face, but I’m afraid she even didn’t know she was shedding tears. She was completely out of control,” Xiao Si sympathetically said, “Boss, she is a mother…”
None of the three people spoke. The air in the room was somewhat stifling. Jiang Rui stood up. “I’ll go out. Bear, drive the car.”
“We’ll go, too!” Scar and Xiao Si raised their hands.
Jiang Rui glanced at them and did not refuse.
Tuan Zi looked at Chen Chen, who was gorging on meat. She said with worry, “Mom, you’ve eaten up three pig’s trotters.”
“It’s delicious!” Chen Chen placed a sugar taro in Tuan Zi’s bowl. “The dishes in a five-star hotel are better indeed!”
“Where will we go after the meal?” Tuan Zi asked tentatively. Chen Chen had not stepped out of the room from yesterday up to that moment, and she even asked the room service to have the dishes brought to them.
Chen Chen paused. “You are still on holiday anyway, so let’s go to the movies in the afternoon!”
“Oh.” Tuan Zi curled her lips, and when she wanted to say something, there were barks outside. She jumped off the chair suddenly. “It’s Hei Zi. Hei Zi came to me!”
Chen Chen stuffed a piece of pig’s trotter in her mouth and shouted. “You must have misheard. We’re in a hotel, where a dog must not be allowed in. Either way, Hei Zi cannot come here…” Then, she froze before finishing her words.
When Jiang Rui came in, he saw that the woman had pig’s trotter in her mouth, as she looked at him with a silly look.
“Dad!” Tuan Zi rushed up to her father, while Hei Zi swayed his tail hard beside her, almost breaking its ass.
Bear poked his head from behind. “Tut tut, this dog is really on intimate terms only with Tuan Zi, and it didn’t eat anything last night when you were gone.”
“Mom, give Hei Zi a trotter!” Tuan Zi ran back with the puppy in her arms.
Chen Chen stuffed the pig’s trotter in her mouth into Hei Zi’s mouth mechanically, then stood up and went into the bedroom.
“Tuan Zi! Come out and play with us!” Scar waved to her. Tuan Zi nodded, and she kissed Jiang Rui when she left. “Dad, mom didn’t mean to hit you. She was frightened yesterday and even had a nightmare last night. Don’t blame her!”
Jiang Rui kissed her back. “I won’t. It’s dad’s fault, and dad will apologize to mom.”
Hearing what boss said, Bear and the other two men felt relieved and left with Tuan Zi. Jiang Rui walked to the bedroom’s door and found that the door was locked.
“Open the door, or I’ll kick the door open,” He said outside the door.
“This is a hotel. If you dare to hit me, I will call the guards!” Chen Chen shouted inside.
Jiang Rui curled the corner of his mouth and said, “Who said that I would hit you? Hurry and open the door, or I will kick the door open.”
Chen Chen was struggling to make a choice inside. She lost her mind the day before and gave Jiang Rui a slap. At the moment, she was truly frightened. But if she didn’t open the door, when the man came in, she would die faster…
“You must swear first,” Chen Chen approached the door and said, “That you will never hit me definitely.”
Jiang Rui was an asshole, and he was anything but a gentleman who had never beaten a woman. She just knew it according to his previous deeds.
There was no sound outside the door. Chen Chen held the pillow and got into the quilt, considering that when he kicked the door open and started to beat her, it would be less painful.
“I definitely won’t beat you.” The man’s voice came in, “But my patience is wearing thin, so just open the door.”
Chen Chen rushed to the door. “I’ll open it right away! Right away!”
