Shen Qingqing left the hospital and walked towards her car, simultaneously dialing Ke Lin's number.
"Find the Ning family's address for me."
"Understood."
Hanging up, she got into the car and casually put her phone in her pocket. She glanced at the car's clock; it was 2:30 PM.
As the minutes ticked by, five minutes later, Ke Lin's call arrived.
"Ms. Shen, I've found it. The address is Changfeng Street..."
"Alright, thank you for your trouble."
Shen Qingqing hung up, started the car, and soon arrived at the address Ke Lin had given.
She knocked on the Ning family's door.
A young woman opened the door, wearing an apron, likely the Ning family's housekeeper. She looked at Shen Qingqing, puzzled, "Who are you?"
"I am Shen Qingqing. I'm looking for Ning Xin."
"Please wait a moment."
The door closed with a thud. Shortly after, it opened again, and Ning Xin appeared. "Ms. Shen, what an honor to have you visit. I didn't personally greet you. Please, come in."
Shen Qingqing followed her inside. As Ning Xin instructed someone to prepare tea and brought out a cake, Shen Qingqing had no mood for pleasantries.
"Let's get straight to the point. Your sister took my child. I want to ask, what exactly does she want? Why did she take my son?"
Ning Xin's expression turned serious. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Is there any reason for me to lie to you?"
"But why would she take your son?" Ning Xin asked, confused. "Besides, how did Ning Su manage it? Isn't your son at your home?"
Shen Qingqing checked the time. It had already been half an hour since her son was taken. She grew more anxious. "I took my son to the hospital, and we got separated inadvertently. I checked the surveillance footage and saw that Ning Su was the one who carried him away. I tried calling Ning Su, but her phone was unreachable. I had no choice but to come find you."
Ning Xin took out her phone from her pocket. "I'll call Ning Su right now. Don't worry, if she really took your child, I'll help you get him back."
She dialed Ning Su's number.
It was completely unreachable.
Ning Xin began to feel uneasy and somewhat believed Shen Qingqing's words. She then called her assistant, asking him to investigate Ning Su's current location.
The assistant responded quickly. Shortly after, Ning Xin received a call informing her that Ning Su had gone to Fu's Group. She immediately told Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing turned and headed for Fu's Group.
Just as she reached the entrance, she received a call from Fu Jingshu. He didn't ask any questions, only said one sentence, "Chenchen is with me."
"I understand."
After hanging up, Shen Qingqing immediately set off for Fu's Group. Ning Xin followed. In the car, Ning Xin said, "Don't worry, if she really did anything to Chenchen, I won't shield her."
Ning Su was her sister, but Chenchen was also Shen Qingqing's son. While she cared for her sister, she also understood Shen Qingqing's concern and anxiety for her own child.
Shen Qingqing said coldly, "Are you implying that as long as she didn't do anything, it's okay for my child to be with her?"
"...She brought him to Fu Jingshu, didn't she?"
"How can you be sure she brought him, rather than Fu Jingshu discovering him himself?"
Ning Xin was momentarily speechless.
Shen Qingqing snorted, her expression showing a clear refusal to engage further.
The car quickly stopped in front of the company building. Shen Qingqing and Ning Xin went upstairs one after the other.
Upon reaching the secretarial office, the secretary saw Shen Qingqing and was taken aback. "Madam, why are you here?"
She glanced back at the office.
Shen Qingqing looked at her. "I'm looking for Jingshu. Is he in there?"
"Yes, yes, he is."
Ning Xin noticed the secretary's obvious guilty expression and had a bad feeling. Had Ning Su really done something with Fu Jingshu?
Shen Qingqing, however, simply replied with a faint "Mm" and pushed open the office door.
Ning Xin paused for a moment before following her in.
Inside the office.
Fu Jingshu sat behind his desk, with Ning Su standing beside him, her gaze fixed on him like a hawk.
Fu Jingshu remained as cold as ever. Chenchen sat on his lap, both father and son sharing the same indifferent expression, completely ignoring the woman beside them.
Shen Qingqing stood at the doorway, arms crossed. "Is this an inconvenient time for me to visit?"
Hearing her voice, father and son both looked up. Chenchen slid off his father's lap and ran with his short legs towards Shen Qingqing.
He hugged her leg tightly!
Shen Qingqing lowered her gaze and looked at Chenchen. With one hand behind her back, she closed the door.
Chenchen looked up at her, his eyes pleading, "Mommy."
Shen Qingqing ignored him and looked up at Ning Su, who was beside Fu Jingshu. "Why did you come here? And why did you take my child?"
Ning Su's gaze towards her was no longer friendly.
"Don't you know why I'm here? If you hadn't lost the child, would I have seen him? I brought the child here to help you. What is this tone?"
Shen Qingqing said calmly, "Since you found my child, shouldn't you have called me to inform me?"
"I don't have your phone number!" Ning Su retorted unhappily. "How dare you question me? I helped you! You should be thanking me. You're so ungrateful!"
After speaking, she looked at Fu Jingshu and her sister Ning Xin, complaining, "Jingshu, Sister, don't you have anything to say? I was trying to help, so why is she treating me like this? What right does she have! If I had known this, I should have just pretended not to see him!"
Shen Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, her smile not reaching her eyes. "So, I should thank you."
"Of course! Not only should you thank me, but you should also apologize to me for your attitude just now!" Ning Su watched her expectantly, waiting for her to offer thanks and an apology.
Shen Qingqing's lips twitched slightly. Before she could speak, Fu Jingshu's cold voice cut in, "She doesn't need to apologize. If you insist on hearing an apology, perhaps I should offer one?"
Ning Su looked at him with a pained expression. "You know I can't bear to hear you apologize."
Fu Jingshu stood up, walked to Shen Qingqing's side, and stood with her. He then guided the pair, one adult and one child, to sit on the sofa. He turned and looked at Ning Xin, who was standing at the door.
"Please, come in."
Ning Xin was surprised by his courteous attitude and walked over to sit down.
Ning Su naturally followed her sister closely. Seeing Fu Jingshu's extreme protectiveness towards the mother and child, she felt intense jealousy but dared not voice it.
At least in front of her sister, she couldn't show any lingering desire for Fu Jingshu.
Otherwise, her sister would immediately drag her away!
Even so, Ning Xin glanced at her, grabbed her wrist, and said softly, "Wait until we get home, and I'll settle the score with you."
Ning Su pouted, appearing unconcerned.
As long as she could see Fu Jingshu, it was worth being lectured by her sister later.
As the sisters were whispering, they suddenly felt a cold gaze fall upon them. Turning their heads, they saw it was Fu Jingshu.
