Chapter 394 Killing Yan Lan
Chapter 394 Killing Yan Lan
"You!" Qin Shi's pupils shrank sharply, and he seemed to be nailed to the spot, staring intently at Xiao Chaochao, his tone filled with disbelief and shock.
"Chao Chao!" Yan Lan quickly caught up and hugged her son tightly. Her gaze fell on Chao Chao's face, and she stopped in her tracks.
She looked down and saw that her son's originally fair face was now covered with tiny red rashes, and even the tips of his ears were red. Was it an allergic reaction?
My son was quite prone to allergies when he was young because he was weak and sickly. However, he has improved a lot over the years with proper care and now doesn't have allergies as long as he avoids allergens.
"mom!"
Chaochao didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She happily hugged Yan Lan's neck, rubbed her little head against her neck, and then secretly glanced at Qin Shi next to her. She quickly stuck out her tongue and said in a soft voice, "Mommy, I accidentally got pollen on my face from the flower bed."
Yan Lan instantly understood that this was not an "accident" at all; it was clearly something the little guy did on purpose.
Sure enough, Chaochao snuggled closer to her and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Mom, my sister said at lunch that Dad will come to pick us up for lunch today..." As he spoke, he winked his round eyes at Yan Lan, his little face showing a hint of slyness.
That way, Dad won't see through them.
He doesn't plan to acknowledge his father, since his father is so good to Xiao Qin Fang.
He plans to observe his father for a while longer. If his father is truly unkind to his mother and him, he will disown him.
Yan Lan was both amused and annoyed. She gently tapped his little nose with her fingertip and was about to speak when she heard Qin Shi's voice, which carried a hint of unconscious concern: "Is your son alright? He has so many red rashes on his face. Should we take him to the hospital to get checked out now?"
He looked at Chaochao's little face, which resembled a "monkey's bottom," his brows furrowed tightly, his feelings extremely complicated.
Logically speaking, this is Yan Lan's son, and has nothing to do with him. He shouldn't care about him, and should even feel some rejection.
But looking at the little guy, so thin and small, and how obediently he hugged Yan Lan's neck, he felt no dislike at all. Instead, he felt a pang of worry.
Upon hearing Qin Shi's words, Chaochao secretly glanced at him again, her little hands tightly gripping Yan Lan's clothes. She didn't dare to speak again, only burying her head even deeper.
"It's an old problem, nothing serious. Just go back, take some medicine, and rest for a few days."
Yan Lan lowered her head and touched Chaochao's flushed face, her tone filled with heartache, but a helpless smile flashed in her eyes.
This little guy has certainly made the most of his allergies.
She knew in her heart that Qin Shi came today mostly because he was worried about Xiao Xi. In the future, he would be busy with the affairs of the Qin family and would not be able to come and accompany his daughter every time.
"I'll take you all back together."
As Qin Shi spoke, his gaze swept over Yan Lan's motorcycle parked not far away, and his brows furrowed instantly. His tone was full of disapproval, "It's too unsafe to ride a motorcycle with two children. My motorcycle is right in front of me."
Yan Lan did not refuse.
She knew she had to create the illusion in front of Chaochao and Xiaoxi that "even if we get divorced, Mom and Dad can still get along well," not wanting to leave any lingering resentment in their hearts.
She carried Chaochao, and Qin Shi carried Xiaoxi. The four of them walked side by side to the parking lot. Along the way, Xiaoxi would occasionally tell Qin Shi a few interesting stories about kindergarten. Qin Shi listened patiently, his tone much gentler than usual.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a sinister gaze was fixed on them from a luxury car not far away—it was Bai Xiaoyu.
Her face was extremely pale, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white.
A few days ago, Song Chi exposed Liu Shiyu's affair, and she was also implicated. She finally managed to suppress it by spending money. Because of the dispute at St. Mary's Kindergarten, she has been able to avoid picking up her son, Xiao Qinfang, recently.
In order to regain face at the kindergarten and to force Qin Shi to spend more time with her, she specially arranged for Qin Shi to pick up Xiao Qin Fang today. However, every time she called, she was met with Qin Shi's cold voice assistant reply: "Hello, the owner is busy and cannot answer the phone at the moment."
In the back seat of the car, Xiao Qin swung his legs, complaining with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Mom, isn't that Dad? Why is he with that woman and two kids? Why didn't you let me look for Dad before? I want the latest game console, I want Dad to buy it for me!"
Bai Xiaoyu was even more annoyed by her son's words, but she could only suppress her anger. She reached out and pressed her son's shoulder, her voice tight: "Mom will buy you the game console. You're mistaken, that's not Dad!" As she spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Yan Lan, it's you again!
Bai Xiaoyu felt like she had a lump of cotton stuck in her throat, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became—Qin Shi's recent change in attitude was obvious to everyone, all because of Yan Lan's return! Before, even if he was cold to her, he would at least give her a few words of response, but now, he couldn't even be bothered to answer the phone.
"What about Grandpa? Grandpa hasn't come to see me in a long time either. Before, when Dad was busy, Grandpa would bring me delicious food and play with me." Little Qin Fang asked again with a frown, his tone full of grievance, and he didn't forget to shake Bai Xiaoyu's arm.
These words made Bai Xiaoyu feel even more frustrated and breathless. She had only heard from someone a few days ago that Shen Yunzhong had been arrested, and for murder no less!
Shen Yunzhong used to be her support. With him around, Old Madam Qin would give her some face. But now that her support has fallen, she has no place in the Qin family. If things continue like this, she and her son may be completely abandoned by the Qin family.
"Grandpa's been busy lately, but he'll come see you when he's done." Bai Xiaoyu patted her son's head, but her mind was already a jumbled mess.
Suppressing her anger, she drove Xiao Qin home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Bai Lin sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a cup of tea and drinking it.
Bai Xiaoyu waved to Xiao Qinfang: "Go to your room and play the game console. Mommy and Auntie need to talk." Upon hearing that there was a game console to play, Xiao Qinfang immediately forgot his earlier complaints and happily ran back to his room.
"Sis, didn't you say before that you knew some people in the underworld who could help me solve some troubles that I couldn't bring to the table?" Bai Xiaoyu walked to the sofa and sat down, her voice low, but her eyes couldn't hide her urgency.
Bai Lin paused slightly in her teacup, causing a ripple in the tea. She looked up at Bai Xiaoyu, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, and slowly asked, "Oh? Judging from your expression, you've run into someone difficult? Who are you trying to deal with?"
"Yan Lan, Qin Shi's ex-wife." Bai Xiaoyu said these three words almost through gritted teeth. When she mentioned this name, the resentment in her eyes was impossible to hide.
“Ever since she came back, Qin Shi has become a completely different person. He ignores me and Fangfang, and even President Shen was imprisoned because of her. If it weren’t for her, I would be Qin Shi’s lawfully wedded wife now, and I wouldn’t be in this situation!”
As she spoke, her tone became even more ruthless: "I don't care what methods you use, as long as you can make her disappear from Singapore completely, I'm willing to pay any amount of money!"
