"Where's Duoduo?" Jiang Xiaorou panicked instantly.
All she could think about was where Duoduo was, how serious the injury was, and why she got hurt.
"In the bathroom," Xuanxuan said.
Jiang Xiaorou rushed over immediately and saw Duoduo sitting on the ground crying, with blood still flowing from her hand. This really broke Jiang Xiaorou's heart.
"Duoduo, don't be scared. Auntie will carry you to see your little hand, okay?" Jiang Xiaorou approached cautiously.
The last time she saw Duoduo, Duoduo was very afraid of Jiang Xiaorou; she wouldn't even let her touch her. If it weren't for Jiang Xiaorou identifying herself and showing her photos with Jiang Yufei, Duoduo wouldn't have listened to her at all.
This time, Jiang Xiaorou was still careful.
"Okay."
Duoduo nodded.
Jiang Xiaorou was both shocked and happy. She quickly picked up Duoduo and went to her private room.
"Ms. Jiang, what's wrong?" Xu Feng hurried over.
"Find a few experts to come over. Duoduo has injured her hand," Jiang Xiaorou commanded assertively, her attention still on Duoduo's hand.
Xu Feng glanced at Duoduo's hand, it was just a cut, and some antiseptic would do. Why is Ms. Jiang so nervous? She's not her daughter, why all the fuss?
"Aren't you going yet?" Jiang Xiaorou exploded.
"Yes, right away." Xu Feng dashed out.
Half an hour later, a few experts really did come and cleaned up and bandaged Duoduo's wounds.
Jiang Xiaorou then held the child and didn't want to let go for a moment, afraid that Duoduo would be scared, she told her stories until Duoduo fell asleep in her arms while the doctor was treating her.
"Shush!"
Jiang Xiaorou wouldn't allow anyone to make noise; Xu Feng quickly sent the experts away and closed the door.
"Auntie, thank you," Xuanxuan said very seriously.
All that Jiang Xiaorou had done for Duoduo, Xuanxuan saw it all. He thought that auntie was much more gentle than Mommy. If auntie were Mommy, Duoduo definitely wouldn't have fallen just now.
"Silly child, we're all family, what's there to thank for? By the way, where are your Daddy and Mommy? Why did they leave you behind and not care at all! What kind of parents are they?" Jiang Xiaorou was really angry!
Back then, she was schemed against by Jiang Yufei and got pregnant with these two children, and Jiang Yufei took them away, which virtually ruined Jiang Xiaorou's life, and she nearly died at that time.
Now, Jiang Yufei, for her own benefits, neglected the children. Apparently, she never really cared for the two in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiaorou asked again.
Xuanxuan's expression wasn't good, and he did not answer Jiang Xiaorou's question.
"Xuanxuan, how about this? Why don't you and Duoduo come and stay at auntie's house for the night? My house is really big, and there are lots of toys too!" Jiang Xiaorou plotted.
She wanted to take away the children, to take them back and care for them herself. If she continued to leave them with Jiang Yufei, she was afraid that the children would truly be ruined.
"Okay, okay!" Xuanxuan was naturally happy; he liked Jiang Xiaorou very much.
But then he had second thoughts: "But Daddy and Mommy will worry."
"Don't worry! I'll talk to them. For tonight, just rest assured and stay at auntie's house with Duoduo. Moreover, Duoduo is asleep now, she's really tired, so let's not disturb her, okay?" Jiang Xiaorou said.
Xuanxuan was just a child, easy to deceive, and he really liked Jiang Xiaorou, so he was willing to stay at Jiang Xiaorou's house.
"Okay," Xuanxuan said.
Jiang Xiaorou brought the two children back to her nest.
Over the years, returning home alone every night, no matter how formidable she was, no matter how noble her status, the moment she came back home, Jiang Xiaorou always felt lonely.
But tonight, she wouldn't be lonely. It was the first time she took care of these two treasures. Although unfamiliar, she found joy in it.
"Auntie, aren't you sleeping?"
Xuanxuan looked at Jiang Xiaorou, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling so happily, even more tender than Mommy. Xuanxuan really liked Jiang Xiaorou.
"You go to sleep first, Auntie will wait a little longer," Jiang Xiaorou said.
"Auntie, good night."
"Good night."
Jiang Xiaorou bent down and kissed the child's forehead, feeling good about it. How great would it be if the two little treasures could always be with her?
Xuanxuan soon fell asleep, and Duoduo also slept soundly. Jiang Xiaorou wasn't in a rush to sleep; instead, she sat alone on the sofa and sent a message to Xu Feng to investigate the material of everyone who attended the class reunion five years ago.
It was on that night that Jiang Xiaorou was drugged and slept in the hotel, then had relations with someone, followed by being locked up by Jiang Yufei. Jiang Xiaorou had to find that man so she could use his hand to rightfully take the children back.
That man wasn't important. Once the task was accomplished, Jiang Xiaorou could give him a sum of money for him to leave far away, but the children had to be Jiang Xiaorou's.
Inside Binjiang Hotel!
Jiang Yufei's business deal wasn't going smoothly. Not only did she get taken advantage of by the other party, but she also didn't pry any valuable information — it was nothing but a waste. By the time Jiang Yufei realized it, the two little treasures were gone.
She searched the entire hotel without any sign of them, and she became frantic.
It was over, completely over. She had already angered Shen Yancheng tonight, and if she lost the children as well, she really wouldn't be able to return.
Jiang Yufei was so anxious that she went crazy, checking every room. Could it be that the children went home by themselves in the middle of the night? She dared not call, so she could only drive home to see if perhaps they went back by themselves.
Outside the villa!
The servants did not open the door for her, no matter how much Jiang Yufei yelled.
It was over, truly over. Shen Yancheng was really angry. Jiang Yufei panicked so much that in a rush, she called Shen Yancheng.
"Yancheng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose the children. Please don't be mad at me. Open the door so I can explain to you properly."
Shen Yancheng didn't know about the missing children. This call thoroughly enraged him, and he rushed out of the villa, clutching Jiang Yufei's throat.
"Jiang Yufei, have I been too good to you, too indulgent of you that you act out like this?"
Shen Yancheng's hands were shaking, and Jiang Yufei's tears were flowing. Her airway was blocked, and she felt she was not far from death.
"Yancheng, I really didn't do it on purpose. Today, I just went to a restroom, and when I came back, I found that the children were gone. I searched everywhere and couldn't find them. I really didn't do it deliberately. It must be someone trying to get back at me, using the children to target me.
Right, that waitress, she must hold a grudge against me, she definitely kidnapped the children, Yancheng, send someone to catch her now, it must be her doing."
Jiang Yufei's panicked expression was full of her endless fear, but she deftly found an excuse for herself, shifting the blame for losing the children entirely away.
"If you can't find the children, don't come back. This home does not need an idiot like you."
Shen Yancheng pushed her away, and Jiang Yufei fell heavily to the ground, crying a mess. She crawled back like a dog, almost catching Shen Yancheng's thigh, but at that moment, the door closed.
She was desperate and helpless, looking pitifully at Shen Yancheng like a dog.
"Yancheng, Yancheng, can you let me in please? It's raining, it's really cold."
Shen Yancheng turned and left without another word.
Jiang Yufei kneeled outside the door alone. She knew she wouldn't be able to find the children, so she would just keep kneeling here. Even if Shen Yancheng's heart was made of stone, he couldn't let her kneel at the door forever!
As long as he came out and opened the door, Jiang Yufei's plan to move him with her suffering would have succeeded.
