Chapter 292: Chapter 292: President Li Took Away Chengcheng’s Hair…

If it weren’t for the concern that Chengcheng had already been raised waywardly, and that his biological mother, Shen Jiangqing, might fall into any more trouble — a trouble that he wouldn’t be able to withstand and would completely send him to a dark place — then Shen Jiangqing dying ten times over wouldn’t be enough!

Shen Jiangqing was in despair.

She had just come out of the psychiatric hospital…

“All I want to do is stay by the sides of my two children, what’s wrong with that? I beg you, please don’t be so heartless…”

But Li Lingyang was unmoved.

Her tears had never worked on him!

Li Lingyang directly called Special Assistant Xu and sent Shen Jiangqing back to the psychiatric hospital again.

With her previous experience, this time the level of supervision she was under was raised a notch, and even the cell phone she had hidden was confiscated.

He wanted to eliminate every single possibility for her.

When Special Assistant Xu took Shen Jiangqing away, the world finally quieted down.

But Li Lingyang’s heart never found relaxation…

He missed Ning Yichu, and he also missed Chen Bao and Ningning.

But he had people search almost the entire Imperial City and still hadn’t found a trace of them.

Where exactly had Mo Baiyou hidden them?

Li Lingyang was restless in his heart and couldn’t help but stand in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, lighting a cigarette and gazing into the distance.

Right now, what were they doing…

And the matter of Ningning’s identity…

Although he had been busy these days, he had never forgotten about it and had already assigned Special Assistant Xu to investigate in secret.

He just hoped the results would come soon!

…

At the other end, in Ziyu Run Garden.

As soon as Ning Yichu turned on her phone, she could see countless messages sent by Li Lingyang —

“Chu Chu, where are you and the kids now?”

“Is the place you’re living in safe? How are the living conditions? Are you doing well?”

“The online rumors have been dealt with, you can come back now…”

“Ning Yichu, I miss you so much!”

“…”

When Ning Yichu saw the last message, it was as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled in her heart, with all kinds of tastes.

The profound affection that came too late was more contemptible than grass.

The conflicts between them had never been truly resolved…

Shen Jiangqing, Su Huimiao, these two people, were like bombs that could explode at any moment, ready to replay the tragedy of five years ago!

Rather than getting hurt again later, it would be better to cut the mess quickly with a sharp knife!

But why did her heart feel so uncomfortable…

Ning Yichu put down the phone, not letting her emotions be disturbed by him, walked out of the bedroom, and entered the living room.

The two little ones sat on the sofa, watching a movie!

But Ningning seemed to be in worse spirits than usual, looking listless and pale.

She had been fine just this morning!

Because Ningning had once suffered from leukemia, Ning Yichu was especially nervous about her condition and quickly approached her, asking, “Ningning, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell somewhere?”

“Mommy, don’t worry, I’m fine, I just feel a bit tired, really, it’s nothing!”

Ningning forced a smile, pale as it was.

Ning Yichu’s heart ached even more, “Is it because too many things have happened recently? Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up!”

Chen Bao also looked over with concern.

He had noticed Ningning’s condition as soon as possible and wanted to tell mommy…

In fact, since Ningning had been rescued from the kidnapping, she would occasionally get tired more easily than before.

But with the recent events exploding like bombs, one after another, and with people outside watching their family, she endured and didn’t tell mommy, not wanting mommy to be bothered again.

Ningning hugged Ning Yichu’s arm and acted coquettishly, “No need, I’ll be fine after some rest. Besides, there are so many bad people in Imperial City, let’s not show our faces for now.”

Humph, she knew all too well that those villains were after her mommy.

She and Chen Bao were just decoys…

Hui Yue cradled her daughter’s tender cheeks, her heart full of guilt.

At the same time, she hesitated…

The environment in Imperial City was too terrible, with overt and covert attacks everywhere, impossible to fully guard against. Should she consider changing Ningning’s environment?

When Chen Bao saw the entangled expressions of his mother and sister, he realized just how little power he actually had, clutching his small fists tightly, “Mommy, I really wish I could grow up fast, to protect you and my sister!”

Hui Yue slightly curved the corners of her lips, pinching his little head.

“Mommy’s darling, you are already doing great now!”

Ningning also perked up and praised him, “Brother, you don’t know how much I admire you. If it weren’t for you, Mommy and I would have been harmed long ago, you are the most, most, most amazing person in the world…”

But all this, it still wasn’t enough!

Chen Bao clenched his tiny fists even tighter, telling himself in secret that he must become even more powerful!

Since Ningning wasn’t feeling well, Hui Yue stayed with the little girl in the living room for a while and then coaxed her to sleep.

It was only in the afternoon that Mo Baiyou brought some news over.

…

Inside the ancestral hall of the Li Mansion.

Chengcheng, all alone, was being punished by kneeling in front of numerous ancestral tablets.

Every time he thought about what happened today, his mood was extremely restless, and he didn’t know how his mommy was faring now.

If daddy were to lose his temper again and send her away, he would be completely without support…

But what could he, a child, do?

“You little rascal, I heard you’ve been punished to kneel?”

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind the main door.

Chengcheng turned subconsciously and saw Li Jingtian’s figure drawing closer.

Although he was young, he often followed Shen Jiangqing around, and he had a hunch about the relationship between her and his mommy.

“Uncle, I did something wrong and upset daddy…”

He hung his head, looking very aggrieved.

Li Jingtian raised an eyebrow, “I’ve sent all the nearby servants away, get up first.”

“But what about daddy…”

“Listen to your uncle. You’re young, and you’ve just been through a serious illness. What if kneeling too long damages your knees?” Li Jingtian’s eyes deep as he looked at Chengcheng.

This young face, which usually seemed nothing special, actually reminded him somewhat of Li Lingyang, which was quite off-putting.

But ever since Shen Jiangqing hinted that there was something fishy about Chengcheng’s origins, he’d begun to feel…

The kid was rather pleasing to the eye.

Chengcheng also felt very wronged.

All because of that annoying Doudou, if she hadn’t tattled to daddy, things wouldn’t have ended up this way…

That damned Doudou had better pray she doesn’t fall into his hands!

“I’ll stay kneeling. It’s just for one hour. If daddy suddenly checks in and finds I’ve got up, I’ll be punished even more, and you’ll get into trouble too, uncle.”

Li Jingtian couldn’t help but feel the kid was clever and articulate.

He didn’t insist further but fetched a softer cushion for Chengcheng to kneel on.

Kneeling became more comfortable for Chengcheng, who then asked, “Uncle, do you know what’s happening with my mommy now?”

Li Jingtian had been paying attention to the situation in the Li Mansion; how could he not know!

Before, he had been strung along by Shen Jiangqing, who always had an excuse for not telling him the truth, even though she was free now.

Well, this time he didn’t plan to help her anymore…

After all, there were ways to find out the truth other than from her mouth.

“I didn’t hear any commotion when I came in, so I don’t know your mommy’s situation,” Li Jingtian said, “But Shen Jiangqing is your mommy after all. Even if your daddy is angry, he won’t do anything to her.”

It used to be that way, but times have changed…

Chengcheng was even more troubled.

Li Jingtian feigned a look of distress and reached out to touch his head.

Between the fingers, he subtly took one of the boy’s hairs.
