Chapter 128: The Bad Woman Is Trying to Snatch Daddy Again

Li Beijue finished up the work at hand, and seeing that the time was about right, he prepared to head out.

He arrived downstairs and saw at a glance that the three little ones were in the back garden.

Li Beijue intended to say hello and then leave, so he walked straight over.

As he drew near, he heard Mobai saying to Yanbao: "I wonder when Mommy will be able to come back..."

Li Beijue's brow furrowed, his gaze swept around, and sure enough, Jiang Baobao was nowhere to be seen, so he asked in a deep voice: "She isn't home?"

The three little ones were startled, suddenly stood up, and looked up at him in unison.

Yanbao hurriedly explained: "Daddy, Mommy had something to do and went out."

Li Beijue's brow furrowed even tighter.

She went out?

What business could she possibly have that she had to go out today?

Can she not even stay home on the weekend to accompany the children?

Li Beijue gave a cold snort in his heart, then heard Yanbao ask: "Daddy, are you going out too? It's almost time for lunch, aren't you going to stay and join us?"

Li Beijue felt a bit guilty being watched by the little one's big eyes, so he had to explain simply: "Auntie Rumeng was in a car accident, Daddy is going to check on her, I will be back very soon, and I can spend the afternoon with you all."

"Auntie Rumeng?"

Hearing this, Yanbao was stunned for a moment and quickly exchanged a look with Mobai.

It's that Liu Rumeng again!

She must be coming to snatch Daddy again!

Neither of the two little ones liked Liu Rumeng, and they instantly understood each other's meaning.

Mobai hurriedly said loudly: "Then Daddy, take us with you!"

Li Beijue was suddenly in a bit of a dilemma.

He pondered for two seconds, shook his head gently: "Auntie Rumeng is injured, it probably isn't very convenient to bring you along, and Daddy is just having lunch with her, I'll be back very soon..."

"Why can't you take us to have lunch!" Mobai pretended to be angry and interrupted Li Beijue: "It's one thing that Mommy isn't home, but Daddy is going out to eat something good and won't take us! We won't cause any trouble! We just want to go out with Daddy!"

It was rare for Mobai to be this clingy; Li Beijue listened, his expression hesitant for two seconds.

Yanbao also hurriedly pressed the advantage: "Daddy, take us with you, we are so bored at home..."

With both sons speaking up, Li Beijue naturally couldn't bear to refuse any longer.

He hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

Mobai and Yanbao instantly put on smiling faces and directly grabbed Tiantian's little hand: "Then we want to take our little sister too! She likes eating delicious food the most!"

Li Beijue was slightly taken aback, glanced at the silent little girl, then looked at the happy expressions of Mobai and Yanbao, and in the end, he didn't speak to dampen their spirits, tacitly agreeing that they could take Tiantian along.

On the other side—

Liu Rumeng sat before her vanity mirror, looking at her "makeup" with satisfaction.

She had deliberately used foundation to make her complexion look much paler than usual.

Her lips were also somewhat pale, with only a hint of pink, making her look sickly.

After admiring it in the mirror for a long time, she casually grabbed the bandages nearby and wrapped her arm and hand layer by layer.

"This should be about right..."

Liu Rumeng nodded with satisfaction, grabbed her bag with one hand, and prepared to head out.

Just as she opened the door, she happened to see her sister Liu Xin'ai passing by her doorway.

"Sister... are you going out too?" A flash of embarrassment crossed Liu Rumeng's face.

Liu Xin'ai paused, looked at her in confusion, and asked: "Rumeng, it's just a scrape on your arm, why are you wrapped up like this? Are you going out?"

Liu Rumeng hurriedly brushed her off: "I'm going out to eat, I have an appointment with a friend, Sister, don't ask so many questions!"

As she spoke, she turned quickly and walked toward the stairs.

Liu Xin'ai watched her back, shook her head helplessly, and didn't ask further.

The two parted at the door, and Liu Xin'ai drove straight to a café not far from home.

Inside the shop—

Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang had already arrived early.

Jiang Baobao's eyes were fixed on the window, her heart inexplicably uneasy, and she couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Tang, you said that Doctor is a classmate of your brother's, so she shouldn't be very old, right? Is she really that capable?"

Cai Xiaotang knew she was just worried, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, I heard she specifically came back after advanced studies abroad! The hospital there wanted to keep her but couldn't!"

The two chatted casually for a bit, Jiang Baobao's mood gradually relaxed, and she withdrew her gaze.

Not long after, they heard the wind chime at the shop door ring.

Jiang Baobao looked up subconsciously, but was stunned when she saw the woman who walked in.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze swept around, and upon seeing Jiang Baobao's table, her expression became quite colorful.

"Doctor Liu! Over here!"

Cai Xiaotang had seen a photo of Liu Xin'ai beforehand and hurriedly stood up to greet her.

Liu Xin'ai snapped back to reality, walked over with some hesitation, but her eyes remained fixed on Jiang Baobao beside Cai Xiaotang.

"Baobao? When did you come back?"

Liu Xin'ai sat down opposite the two and asked with some hesitation.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned at these words, looked at Jiang Baobao in surprise, and asked subconsciously: "Baobao, you know Doctor Liu?"

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for an instant, and she nodded gently.

Liu Xin'ai was once the fiancée of her uncle, Jiang Chenghao.

She had once seen the two of them looking happy and sweet together.

When she returned to the Jiang Family Old Residence that day, she had also thought of this matter, but she did not look into it deeply.

Because there was simply no need to think about it.

After her uncle had such an incident, naturally, no woman would be willing to marry him anymore.

But she had not expected that they would actually meet here by a twist of fate.

The brain specialist that Cai Xiaotang had found turned out to be Liu Xin'ai!

Neither of the two spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang looked at this one, then looked at that one, keenly sensing that something seemed not quite right.

Liu Xin'ai examined Jiang Baobao carefully for a long time before she finally asked, "You disappeared without a word back then, and it worried your uncle terribly..."

"It was my lack of consideration back then; if I had known he would meet with such an incident, I definitely would not have stayed away for so long."

Jiang Baobao replied in a low voice, her tone somewhat heavy.

The conversation between the two fell into an awkward stalemate once again.

Liu Xin'ai sighed, picked up her coffee cup and took a sip, then asked softly, "Did you look for me today because you wanted to ask about your uncle's condition? Since you returned, have you seen him? Is he doing well?"

She asked three questions in a row, which made Jiang Baobao unable to help but be taken aback for a moment.

Jiang Baobao stared at Liu Xin'ai for a few seconds, and her heart suddenly trembled slightly.

She pondered for two seconds before answering in a low voice, "He and Grandmother are both living very poorly; I went to see him two days ago, and the two of them can only live in the Flower Room in the garden now."

As soon as Jiang Baobao finished speaking, the coffee cup in Liu Xin'ai's hand suddenly trembled violently.
