Chapter 105 Who are you trying to scare?
As she expected, things turned out exactly as she had predicted.
Fan Bingbing really ran away, and she ran away the day before yesterday. The girl used the excuse of "going to her grandma's house to play" to slip away halfway through.
It wasn't until early this morning, when Fan's mother called her grandmother's house to inquire, that she learned her daughter hadn't gone at all. The whole family searched high and low, and only just now found a note in Fan Bingbing's room.
Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone, and before Tong's mother could call back, she dialed the number herself.
At first, Tong's mother didn't believe it, saying that Ya Ya was still there yesterday afternoon, saying she had gone to a classmate's house. But hearing Liu Xiaoli's anxious tone, she also became uneasy and quickly called the classmate's house to ask, only to find that she hadn't gone at all.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoli's vision went black.
The shock of being kept in the dark, the pride of knowing the child had accomplished something great, even the slight bitterness towards the "fake sister"...
At this moment, all his emotions turned into heartache for his daughter's safety.
Is it really as Liu Qianqian said, that he "made a name for himself"?
No, this is absolutely terrifying!
She muttered to herself, "How could this happen... Zhou Xiaobai, you wicked devil, it's all your fault, you kidnapped my Qianqian... Qianqian is still so young, what if she gets bullied? What if she's taken to some remote mountain village to become someone's wife..."
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, imagining Liu Qianqian running back ten years later with disheveled hair, carrying a little baby with a face covered in mud, calling her "Grandma"...
Her eyes stung, and she could no longer hold back her tears, sobbing, "Waaah...waaah..."
All my emotions turned into tears, which flowed uncontrollably.
Zhou Wenqiong is similar.
She held Liu Xiaoli tightly, unsure how to comfort her.
Is it Zhou Xiaobai's fault? She doesn't know. She wants to vent, but she doesn't even have a target.
Her eyes were already wet, but she knew now was not the time to cry.
We need to find a way to locate them.
But how can we find them? They have no way to contact us...
She took the tissue Yang Yuying offered, looked up at Chen Minghua, and her face was full of helplessness.
Chen Minghua and Li Jun looked at each other, their hearts filled with a mix of emotions.
There are concerns – concerns about whether this press conference can even proceed.
There's also lingering fear—fear that if something really happens to the child, will I be considered an accomplice?
Suddenly, Chen Minghua remembered something and slammed his hand on the table: "The phone! That's right, the phone! Call them!"
Zhou Wenqiong's eyes lit up, then she shook her head: "They don't have telephones!"
"Yes! They bought a cell phone last month, and I have the number." Chen Minghua's hands were trembling slightly as he took out his phone, found the number, and dialed it.
Liu Xiaoli immediately stopped crying, and like grasping at a lifeline, she lunged forward, snatched the phone, and held it to her ear—but all she heard was a "cannot be connected" message.
After finally getting through, it said the other party was already on another call...
She wouldn't give up and kept dialing again and again.
At this time, in the western frontier.
Fan Bingbing drove Liu Qianqian at breakneck speed, and it was nearly 10:30 in the morning.
"Sister Bingbing, let's hurry! There should be a signal at the top of the mountain, right?" Liu Qianqian pouted and pointed to the mountain in front of her, her face full of unhappiness, urging them on.
We had fun and enjoyed ourselves this morning.
But now, she misses her mother.
But the road was deserted, with hardly any cars around, and even when passing through small towns, there was still no cell phone signal.
She was so angry she wanted to curse.
About ten minutes later, the car finally reached the top of the mountain. Her phone finally got a signal, but all the calls were from Chen Minghua's number. Without thinking, she hung up, called again, hung up again, repeatedly…
Sensing Liu Qianqian's anxiety, Zhou Xiaobai and Tong Liya emerged from the space, both looking puzzled—why did they stop?
Finally, during a break in the phone calls, Liu Qianqian quickly dialed her mother's number...
Here in Guangzhou.
Liu Xiaoli was extremely anxious! Why wasn't Qianqian answering the phone? Had something happened? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, as if she had lost her soul.
Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she was about to hang up, but then, as if remembering something, she answered the call.
"Feed?" Liu Xiaoli's voice trembled.
"Mommy! Mommy!" The tadpole was looking for its mother.
Liu Xiaoli's legs went weak and she almost fell.
Zhou Wenqiong quickly helped her up, snatched the phone and pressed speakerphone: "Qianqian? Is that you? Where are you? Where's Xiaobai? Is she with Bingbing and the others...?" She spoke rapidly, like a machine gun.
"Um... Auntie, it's me." Liu Qianqian's sweet voice was filled with longing. "I missed you."
"Your auntie misses you too! Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up!" Zhou Wenqiong asked into the phone, not caring about anything else at that moment! No press conference was as important as her two children.
"No need, no need, we're so far away—" Liu Qianqian was interrupted by Liu Xiaoli before she could finish speaking: "Liu Qianqian, you've really grown up! Now, right now, get back here immediately!" After the initial shock, Liu Xiaoli's maternal authority instantly kicked in.
"No, I want to play some more!" Liu Qianqian retorted stubbornly—I was just thinking how good you were to me, and now you're trying to bully a child again? If we go back, my bottom will definitely get a beating. What a waste of all my longing.
"Where is it? Tell me now! If you don't, I'll teach you a lesson!" Liu Xiaoli threatened again.
"You can't hit me!" Liu Qianqian gritted her teeth and retorted directly. The emperor is far away, who's afraid of who?
"You little bastard—" Liu Xiaoli was furious, her voice cracking.
"I'm the egg you laid!" Liu Qianqian was overjoyed, finally able to speak freely and unleash her true colors as a "queen of verbal sparring."
"You—" Liu Xiaoli's words caught in her throat; she couldn't win an argument, nor could she get a chance to fight. She was furious: "Where's Zhou Xiaobai? Tell him to answer the phone!"
Liu Qianqian laughed heartily, finally having won this round. She pressed the speakerphone button and gestured towards Zhou Xiaobai with her chin: "Tell me, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
The three little ones stood to the side silently rubbing their foreheads.
Zhou Xiaobai gave Fan Bingbing and Tong Liya a look—see, I told you so, this is the true nature of a little tyrant.
On the other side of Era Records, everyone who heard this conversation through speakerphone felt their stomachs clench, and even Zhou Wenqiong's face turned red.
Liu Xiaoli coughed twice to suppress her embarrassment and asked quickly, "Xiaobai, where are you? Bring Qianqian back. Are Bingbing and Yaya here too?" This time she finally calmed down a bit and stopped trying to scare people.
"Sister Li, we're far away. We just picked up Sister Yaya." Zhou Xiaobai lied.
"Where exactly are you? Your sister and I will come pick you up." Liu Xiaoli softened her voice—she would appease them first, and then deal with them severely once they were caught.
"We're in western Xinjiang, you can't get here," Zhou Xiaobai said honestly. Anyway, we're thousands of kilometers apart, and besides, he has the money to treat you later, so he's not afraid you'll object.
"What?" Liu Xiaoli's mind went blank... Zhou Wenqiong picked up the conversation: "Little brother, how did you manage to get there so far?"
She voiced what everyone was thinking.
"Sis, our flight is at 5:30 this morning, and Sister Bingbing picked us up." Zhou Xiaobai said casually.
Liu Xiaoli was truly enraged this time!
Running that far away, I heard it's not safe there, you're incredibly brave!
She grabbed her phone and yelled, "Zhou Xiaobai, Liu Qianqian, you two little rascals, get back here right now! I'll teach you a lesson!"
After being rebuked by the little bastard, she changed her words.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian snatched the phone back, baring her teeth and speaking in a lisp with an air of domineering confidence: "Who are you trying to scare? I'm your mother! I'll spank you!"
A person should keep their word. With that oath of "I'll call you Mom" as a safety net, she wasn't afraid.
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue; everyone on both sides of the phone was stunned by this outrageous statement.
