Chapter 886: Chapter 886: Coming to Confront
Chi Yue, afraid that Fu Mianmian might let something slip, whispered something to her, and only then did Fu Mianmian walk away cheerfully.
Before leaving, she made a face at Chu Nuo.
When Chi Yue turned to face Fan Zhanqing again, she had already regained her composure.
“Zhan Mobai is not here, you can leave now.”
Zhan Qing frowned, “You brought him back.”
“No.” Chi Yue denied, “The three of us came back together, isn’t Zhan Mobai at home?”
Chi Yue wouldn’t admit that they took Zhan Mobai away.
Thinking of the chaos the Siheyuan in Beijing had been turned into, she thought, Zhan Qing would definitely go back to check, and she was also glad that Fu Rongyin didn’t let anyone clean up the courtyard.
However, Zhan Qing clearly didn’t believe what she said.
“Lin Wanyun took him away, besides you, who else could she have gone to?”
Chi Yue laughed, “Your analysis has a bit of a flaw. The Zhan Family’s Young Madam has been in Beijing for so long, doesn’t she have at least one friend? I’ve known her for less than half a year, how could she trust me with her child? Mr. Zhan doesn’t think that’s a problem?”
Zhan Qing glanced at her, then lowered his gaze, seemingly contemplating the truth of her words.
“Ah Qing, perhaps we really misunderstood Mrs. Fu, Xiao Bai might not be here.” Chu Shuang said softly.
Zhan Qing wanted to say something, but Fu Rongyin strode in from outside, “What are you doing here?”
As soon as he spoke, Fu Rongyin protectively shielded Chi Yue behind him, looking at Zhan Qing as if he were looking at a band of bandits.
Zhan Qing coldly glared at him, “Where’s my son?”
“Your son isn’t at your house, you’re asking me?”
“Fu Rong, don’t change the subject, you were the one who took the child, no one else could have taken him from my territory.”
Fu Rongyin nodded unabashedly, “Your analysis is correct, but why would I take him away? Not to mention whether your son is a promising seed, even if he is, I wouldn’t keep a wolf in my house.”
Chi Yue knew he was referring to the possibility of Zhan Mobai becoming his son-in-law, but Zhan Qing misunderstood him.
“Our Zhan Family might not be as big as Ou Chi, but we’re not so envious of your Ou Chi as to use even a child.”
Fu Rongyin knew he misunderstood, yet he didn’t explain, instead he continued, “No one can predict what will happen in the future.”
Zhan Qing seemed to lose his patience, “Fu Rongyin, I have no grudges with you, return my son immediately, he’s the Zhan Family’s heir, you can’t just take him like that!”
Upon hearing “Zhan Family heir,” Chi Yue subconsciously glanced at Chu Shuang, and sure enough, she noticed her expression change slightly, with something flashing through her eyes.
Chi Yue subtly retracted her gaze, “Mr. Zhan, instead of wasting time here, you’d better use your time wisely to find him, just afraid someone with ulterior motives will beat you to it; by then, the Zhan Family might have to change heirs.”
Fu Rongyin wasn’t shy about expressing his opinion, “My wife is right.”
Zhan Qing eventually left.
When he left, his face was extremely sullen.
Chu Shuang walked beside him, holding Chu Nuo’s hand, softly comforting, “Maybe Xiao Bai really isn’t here, don’t worry too much.”
Zhan Qing paused in his steps, scrutinizing her for a while, asked, “What do you think?”
Chu Shuang thought for a moment and said, “I think we should ask Miss Lin again. Xiao Bai was taken by her from home, she’s surely the person most aware of Xiao Bai’s whereabouts.”
