In the old house of the Kang family.
Xu Youning sat on the stairs while eating a sandwich and looking at the messy hall.
More than 20 years ago, the Kang family was regarded as a distinguished family in City A. Kang Ruicheng’s father had collected a lot of antiques through various means.
And now, most of the antiques in the living room had been smashed into pieces by Kang Ruicheng.
But Kang Ruicheng had the reason to fly into a rage.
This time, he had been confident in the plot against Shen Yuechuan. Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue really had no idea to fight back, but in the end, he was defeated by the truth that there was no blood relationship between Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun!
He had put in a lot of effort to do this but suffered a big smack in his face.
Xu Youning was a little surprised and was not quite sure what was going on.
However, she was happy to see such an ending.
One of his men came in with fear and reported to Kang Ruicheng, “Brother Cheng, we’ve checked it out. The documents of Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan’s adoption are real. Xiao Yunyun… is indeed not Su Yunjin’s biological daughter. There’s no problem with her being with Shen Yuechuan.”
Kang Ruicheng threw away another antique vase. “What the hell is going on? How could Xiao Yunyun not be Su Yunjin’s daughter!?”
His man took a step back and said with fear, “More than 20 years ago, Xiao Guoshan, who is Su Yunjin’s husband, caused a serious car accident. Xiao Yunyun was the female baby who survived the accident. Xiao Guoshan adopted her.”
“Why did Xiao Guoshan adopt a female baby who survived the car accident?”
Kang Ruicheng ordered coldly, “Find out the cause and effect of the car accident, as well as whether Xiao Guoshan adopted Xiao Yunyun for any other reason!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The man escaped from the old house like a gust of wind, as if they had been granted amnesty.
All Kang Ruicheng’s men knew that when Kang Ruicheng was angry, staying with him would only lead to death—Kang Ruicheng might vent his anger on anyone else at any time.
Xu Youning was the only exception.
It would be always safe for Xu Youning to stay with Kang Ruicheng.
Seeing that Kang Ruicheng’s anger was almost gone, Xu Youning wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, walked down, and said,
“Car accidents tend to happen accidentally. What’s the use of finding out the cause and effect of an accident? It will not make Yuechuan and Yunyun become siblings.”
Kang Ruicheng said with a meaningful smile, “There are some car accidents which were designed to happen.”
Seventeen years ago, Lu Boyan’s father’s car accident was not a real accident. It had just been designed to be an accident.
It occurred to him that the man who had been sent to prison in his place had been cast out of prison last year.
But he had been unable to find the man.
However, according to the information he had received Lu Boyan could not find that man, either. Therefore, he could rest assured for the time being.
Xu Youning didn’t know what had happened to Lu Boyan’s father, so she didn’t understand the implied meaning in Kang Ruicheng’s words.
She walked up to Kang Ruicheng and tried to persuade him, “Don’t waste your efforts.”
Kang Ruicheng stubbornly and decisively refused. “Even if it’s useless, I have to know the real story.”
He had planned it well, but it was unexpectedly reversed. At least he had to know what he had ignored.
Xu Youning knew that it was useless to persuade him, so she chose to shut up, but she couldn’t hide the smile on her face at all.
Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning and asked, “Are you very happy?”
Xu Youning shrugged and said, “As Yunyun’s friend, I’m certainly happy that Yunyun is staying with Yuechuan.”
Kang Ruicheng’s eyes became gloomy. “But, my plan failed. Don’t forget, you are following me.”
“When you planned to carry out this plan, I told you not to do that, but you were unwilling to listen to me.” Xiao Yunyun said helplessly, “Now, I can’t do anything about it.”
Kang Ruicheng didn’t know whether he was angry or not. He abruptly grabbed Xu Youning’s hand, took her to the second floor, pushed her into the room, and locked the door.
Xu Youning’s expression suddenly changed. She looked at Kang Ruicheng warily and asked, “What are you going to do?”
“I want you.” Kang Ruicheng’s eyes unknowingly darkened, emitting a signal full of aggressiveness and danger.
Xu Youning’s face suddenly turned pale. She kept stepping back and refused in a trembling voice. “Kang Ruicheng, don’t do that to me.”
Kang Ruicheng pounded hard on the wardrobe behind Xu Youning. He gritted his teeth and asked, “If Mu Sijue can, why can’t I?”
Xu Youning calmed down and said with a sneer, “Are you going to force me like Mu Sijue?”
“No, I’m not.” Kang Ruicheng approached Xu Youning while saying in a suggestive manner, “A Ning, I won’t hurt you like Mu Sijue. You have been following me and asking me to take care of you…”
Kang Ruicheng’s breathing became heavier and heavier. He loosened his grip on Xu Youning and gradually approached her.
Xu Youning forced herself to stay calm. When Kang Ruicheng’s lips were only three centimeters away from hers, she fiercely pushed him away.
Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning in confusion. “Why would you refuse me?”
Xu Youning hugged herself, trembling and shrinking into the corner. “Don’t touch me. You’re the same as Mu Sijue. Don’t touch me!”
Xu Youning seemed as if she was going to break down.
She knew that only in this way could she interrupt some of Kang Ruicheng’s thoughts.
Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning, and sure enough, he was misled.
He suddenly realized that Mu Sijue might have been forcing Xu Youning. The most intimate contact with her had never brought joy to Xu Youning, but torture.
He squatted down and caressed Xu Youning’s face with pity. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done this.”
Xu Youning warned Kang Ruicheng with red eyes, “If you do this again, I will leave here.”
“I won’t force you anymore.” Kang Ruicheng made a promise, and at the same time, he also made a request. “But you have to promise me that you will try to accept me, and you can’t always reject me.”
Xu Youning stared at Kang Ruicheng and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Kang Ruicheng was also not quite sure what was going on. He looked at Xu Youning blankly and said, “A Ning, I…”
“Bang bang!”
There were sharp knocks on the door, interrupting Kang Ruicheng’s words.
Kang Ruicheng looked back, stared at the door, and roared, “Who is it?”
“Brother Cheng!” The voice which was heard was very calm. It was Ah Jin, Kang Ruicheng’s trusted follower. “Mumu!”
Mumu was the nickname of Kang Ruicheng’s son.
Kang Ruicheng got up, rushed over, and opened the door. “What’s wrong with Mumu?”
Ah Jin saw that Xu Youning was indeed in Kang Ruicheng’s room. He was stunned for half a second, then he came to his senses and said, “Mumu is back!”
Hearing the last sentence, Xu Youning was the one who reacted more violently.
Xu Youning suddenly rushed to Ah Jin ahead of Kang Ruicheng, “Did you say that Mumu is back?”
Like Xu Youning, Mumu’s mother was from City G. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped and killed soon after she gave birth to Mumu.
That’s the case. Staying with Kang Ruicheng was greatly dangerous.
He was probably afraid that his son would also encounter the same disaster, so he was strictly confidential about his son and rarely went to visit his son in the United States. On the contrary, Xu Youning would visit him from time to time and had a deep relationship with little Mumu
“Yes, Mumu is back alone.” Ah Jin took a careful look at Xu Youning, then he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “He’s in the hall downstairs now.”
Xu Youning rushed downstairs. Ah Jin looked at her back and thought of another person far away in City G. His eyes were gradually filled with obscureness and anger…
When they got downstairs, Xu Youning saw a little boy carrying a small, dark green bag on his back.
The little boy wore a black hat, a sweater, casual pants, and a pair of white sneakers. He held a black and white striped baseball suit in his hand.
“Mumu!”
Upon hearing Xu Youning call him, and the little boy turned around.
Mumu took after his mother more, with a Roman nose, long eyelashes, thin lips, and tender skin as white as milk, which made him look like a cute baby.
Seeing Xu Youning, the little boy also got extremely happy. Immediately, he couldn’t keep standing steadily and calmly. He threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms and said, “Auntie Youning, I missed you so much.”
The little boy said in a childish and tender tone, melting Xu Youning’s heart. She touched his head and said, “I missed you too.”
The little boy’s long eyelashes fluttered a few times and asked, “Then why don’t you come to see me?”
Xu Youning squatted down and looked at the little boy face to face. She was about to explain when Kang Ruicheng’s voice came.
“Mumu!”
The stern and cold voice startled Xu Youning, not to mention Mumu, who was only four years old.
Mumu suddenly straightened his back and looked at Kang Ruicheng timidly. “Daddy.”
Kang Ruicheng walked over and looked at his son gloomily. “How did you come back?”
Mumu kept leaning toward Xu Youning and whispered, “I came back by plane.”
Kang Ruicheng frowned. “How could you buy the ticket?”
Then, Mumu became puzzled. He took out the ticket from his backpack and handed it to Kang Ruicheng. “I bought it at the airport.”
Kang Ruicheng looked at the ticket. “How did you know I was here?”
Even if it was his son, Kang Ruicheng could not imagine how a four-year-old child could fly back to the country alone from New York and return to the old house successfully.
Mumu blinked his eyes and said, “Dad, have you forgotten? You told me the address here and also told me that this is our home.”
Kang Ruicheng thought it over and vaguely remembered that he had indeed told his son the address of the old house.
However, Mumu was less than three years old then.
He actually remembered the address so clearly and found the place.
Xu Youning glanced at Kang Ruicheng and said, “Enough. Mumu is less than four years old. Stop asking him those meaningless questions. Why don’t you care if he was in danger on the way back?” Then she touched Mumu’s head and asked, “Did you take a taxi back from the airport?”
Mumu was obviously much more relaxed when he was talking to Xu Youning. He nodded hard twice and said, “I told the address to the taxi driver and asked him to send me here. In addition, I asked him not to sell me to others! It’s a pity that I don’t have China Yuan. I could only give him dollars. But when I got out of the car, I apologized to the driver!”
Xu Youning asked in confusion, “How many dollars did you pay the driver?”
Mumu opened his two tender white hands and said, “A thousand!”
Xu Youning was wordless.
