Chapter 406 Childhood Sweetheart 13
âGood morning, Uncle!â Zhao Ying raised her hand to say hello and put the flour on her face unconsciously.
Chen Qing took the towel and wiped her face, âWhy did you get up so early?â
âIâm going to the hospital to send dumplings to Xiaopang later.â Zhao Ying wiped her face obediently and tried to make dumplings again.
Grandma praised her, âYou are better than your uncle.â
âHas my father walked the dog again?â Chen Qing filled a bowl of millet congee.
Millet was brought by them yesterday. Itâs golden, soft and tender with a layer of rice oil floating on it.
âHe got up after five.â Grandma brought a plate of salted vegetables, âIf I hadnât stopped him, he would have called you to the hospital.â
Chen Qing coughed twice, âWe canât be admitted to the ward until seven oâclock!â
Zhao Ying took a look at Chen Qing and wanted to say something. But she was frightened by Chen Qingâs eyes. She had to lower her head and didnât say anything.
âYingâ¦â When his mother came into the kitchen, Chen Qing lowered his voice and said, âDonât let Grandma and Grandpa know that they can go to the hospital at any time, or they will go tomorrow before dawn.â
Zhao Ying blinked and also lowered her voice, âWhy canât they go so early?â
âBecause I canât get up.â Chen Qing winked at her.
Zhao Ying was surprised to cover her mouth and she nodded, âI wonât say. Uncle can sleep late.â
They reached a secret. When Chen Qing finished breakfast, his father came back with Big Yellow.
âHave you finished your breakfast?â
Chen Qing knew what he was going to say. He stood up and put on his coat, âLetâs go, Dad. Iâll take you to the hospital.â
When they got to the hospital, Chen Xiaopang didnât wake up. Wang Cailian took the lunch box in her mother-in-lawâs hand and said, âMom, you got up early again, right?â
âIâm used to it.â Grandma looked at her daughter-in-law, âHow can you look thinner than in the video the other day? Did Chen Qing bully you?â
Chen Qing was aggrieved, âHow dare Iâ¦â
âMom, I was worried about Xiaopang.â Wang Cailian helped her to sit down, âWhen I knew that he was kidnapped, I really wanted to die.â
Grandma said, âYes! I was scared to death when your father told me.â
They talked and began to wipe tears. Grandpa had been staring at Chen Xiaopang. He also put Xiaopangâs arms and legs out of the quilt to see if there was a wound.
âXiaopang doesnât look thin.â Grandpa sat down with satisfaction, âItâs our ancestorsâ virtue that Xiaopang could come back safely this time. If this happens again, it will be too late for you to cry.â
Chen Qing secretly winked at Wang Cailian. Wang Cailian understood and said.
âDad, in fact, Yanjingâs public security is the best.â Wang Cailian said with a smile, âThe most important thing is to protect the central leadership, right? Do you see the police all over Changâan Avenue?â
âWe were also involved in this incident. To be honest, the kidnappers donât care about our familyâs money.â Wang Cailian said, âThey will kidnap the richer. They wonât kidnap us.â
âBut if we go back home, it will be different.â Wang Cailian changed her tone, âIf we go back, we should be the richest in the area. If someone wants to kidnap a child, Xiaopang will be the primary target.â
After listening to Wang Cailian, Grandpa was stunned. He even thought it made sense. Then the topic was over. Wang Cailian went to ask her mother-in-law what happened in the hometown this year. How about the cows? How many eggs did hens lay?
âXiaopang wakes up!â Zhao Ying suddenly shouted.
They went to the bedside at once. Chen Xiaopang looked at them in a daze. After waking up, he crawled out of the quilt and shouted.
âGrandpa! Grandma! When did you come?â
The old man hugged his fat grandson, âDo you want to scare me? Donât run around in the future.â
âIâm fine!â Chen Xiaopang said happily, âIâve had a good time with Tang Cao.â
The old man knew that Tang Cao was the child who got Xiaopang into trouble. He didnât like Tang Cao very much. But he knew he couldnât vent his anger on Tang Cao. He opened the pocket he had brought and took it out as he said.
âLook, these are all for you. Sausages, fried cakeâ¦â He took them out and then put them back, âYour mother said you canât eat it now. You can only see. Iâll take them home for you. When you get out of the hospital, they are all yours.â
Chen Xiaopangâs eyes widened, âGrandpa, how can you do this?â
âWhatâs the matter with me?â The old man said cheerfully, âIâm for you.â
Then he lowered his voice, âDo you dare to eat? Are you not afraid of your mother beating you?â
âIâm afraid.â Chen Xiaopang said sadly.
Wang Cailian gave some fried dried fruit to Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying looked at Chen Xiaopang and put them back, âIâll eat them with Xiaopang together after Xiaopang leaves the hospital!â
âWhat a lovely child!â Grandma touched Zhao Yingâs head and asked her to play with Chen Xiaopang. Then she asked Wang Cailian in a low voice, âHow is her mother now?â
âI donât know. We havenât been in touch lately.â Wang Cailian sighed, âWhen she left, she said that her work was not stable and the place was not suitable for a child. I called her a few days ago but no one answered.â
Just then, her phone rang. Wang Cailianâs eyes brightened when she saw the number.
âHello, Cong Fei?â
As soon as Zhao Ying heard Cong Fei, she ran over. She stared at Wang Cailian. Next second, her eyes were full of tears.
âOh, you talk to Ying first! She is going to cry.â Wang Cailian hurried to hand the phone to Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying took it and shouted, âMom!â
Then she ran to the inside room with the phone in her hands.
âWhat a coincidence!â Grandma laughed happily.
Wang Cailian saw Chen Xiaopang peering into the inside room.
âWhat are you looking at?â
Chen Xiaopang immediately took back his sight, âI didnât see anything!â
Wang Cailian smiled and secretly told Xiaopangâs grandma that Chen Xiaopang must be afraid that Zhao Ying would be picked up by her mother.
Zhao Ying and her mother talked on the phone for half an hour. Then she ran out happily, âAuntie! My mother is coming to pick me up!â
Chen Xiaopangâs toy fell to the ground.
âWhere are you going?â He didnât care about the toys and asked in a hurry.
Zhao Ying thought, âMi Country?â
âHello, Cong Feiâ¦â Wang Cailian took the phone.
A few minutes later, she hung up.
âYing, your mother said that she would come to pick you up in winter vacation, not now!â
Zhao Yingâs eyes were bright and she smiled. She was obviously very happy and she said, âYes, I know. Iâm still very happy. I can celebrate the New Year with my mother. She promised me when she left.â
Cong Fei hadnât called for so long. Zhao Ying thought her mother had forgotten her. Even sometimes when she saw the children who were abandoned on TV, she was afraid. She was afraid that she would be abandoned by her motherâ¦
âYour mother said that the place where she works for the time being can provide a nice place to live and she can pick you up for the New Year. Youâll come back and go to school after the New Year, because then your mother will change her job.â
Seeing Zhao Ying nodding happily, Wang Cailian felt sad. She asked Cong Fei come back. She could help Cong Fei. But Cong Fei was so stubborn. She must rely on herself.
âWhat does your mother do?â As soon as Chen Xiaopang heard that Zhao Ying would just leave during the winter vacation and then come back, he was not so uncomfortable.
Zhao Ying said, âMy mother is a lawyer! Do you know?â
âWhat is a lawyer? Is she like a teacher in our school?â
âOf course not. The lawyer is to help the police.â Zhao Ying actually didnât know what the lawyer is, but her mother told her so. So she told Chen Xiaopang.
Chen Xiaopang was very respectful. For him, as long as something was related to the police, it would be very powerful!
Grandpa and Grandma stayed until the afternoon. Wang Cailian told them not to come tomorrow morning.
âThe Tang Family said they would come to see Xiaopang.â She told Chen Qing. Chen Qing was not surprised.
Grandpa was not happy. He thought the boy of the Tang Family had bad luck. Xiaopang got into trouble because of them. Why would they come?
Then Chen Qing said to his father, âDad, people in the Tang Family are officials. The eldest uncle of the child is likely to be the nextâ¦â
He thumbed up.
âReally?â The old man understood at once.
âYes.â
Grandpa not only didnât come in the morning, but he didnât come in the afternoonâ¦
âXiaopang!â Bai Susu and Tang Yao came in with Tang Cao. Wang Cailian saw several bodyguards behind the door.
Chen Qing pretended to close the door and looked around. Four bodyguards stood at the door like guardsâ¦
âTang Cao!â Knowing that Tang Cao would come, Chen Xiaopang had been waiting for him. Seeing Bai Susu and Tang Yao behind him, he pretended to be polite quickly and called, âHello, Uncle and Aunt.â
âWhat a lovely child!â Tang Yao smiled, âHe was covered in mud before. I didnât look at him carefully. Now I think Xiaopang is blessed.â
Wang Cailian and Chen Qing laughed.
They didnât know what to say.
The members of the Tang Family were like the stars on TV. They were beautiful and handsome. But looked at themselvesâ¦
âSit down, sit down!â Chen Qing reached out to ask them to sit down. Tang Cao sat alone on the bed and talked to Xiaopang.
Bai Susu smiled at Wang Cailian and said, âI know your familyâs condition is not bad, so I wonât rush to pay for the medical expenses of the child.â
âDonât say that.â Wang Cailian also smiled, âThis little money is nothing.â
âWell, I understand.â The reason why Bai Susu didnât pay for medicine was that the Chen Family didnât need the money. She was afraid that they would think she would just pay for her medical expenses. After all, their son suffered a lot.
But she would pay back.
âI will say it directly.â Bai Susu nodded to Chen Qing, âYou can go to the Tang Consortium if you have time. Letâs see if there is anything we can cooperate with.â
Chen Qing was stunned. When he just wanted to say no, Wang Cailian touched his arm. He immediately responded and nodded with a smile, âOh, yes! When my son leaves the hospital, Iâll go there and then Iâll trouble Mrs. Tang.â
Seeing that he was not in a hurry to go and he would wait for the child to leave the hospital, Bai Susu thought highly of the family. Wang Cailian was a smart woman. She was sharper than Chen Qing in some thingsâ¦
âWhereâs your sister?â Tang Cao asked Chen Xiaopang, âIâll see how cute she is.â
âSheâs at home!â Chen Xiaopang asked, âWhere is your sister?â
âMy sister is abroadâ¦â
