My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 583 - 590 Unattended_1

On the fourth day, Xu Feng’e received a court summons, Lin Xiangwan was accusing her of defamation.

Ever since she received the summons, Xu Feng’e had been feeling anxious and annoyed.

She had phoned Qin Gang, who kept insisting that he was on his way. But it had already gotten late, and he was nowhere in sight.

Xu Feng’e started complaining to the old lady again. "Mother, you can’t just stand by while I’m in trouble. I was just trying to protect Qin Muchuan and our family’s reputation. You can’t just let me go to jail!"

The elderly Mrs. Qin was extremely troubled. She didn’t want to deal with Feng’e. She was never a fan of hers, and always found her distasteful.

But, relationships were complex and unpredictable after all. Perhaps it’s because ’the enemy of my enemy is my friend’? The old lady seems to be slightly inclined towards Feng’e now. "Stop crying, when Muchuan returns, I’ll ask him to talk to that woman. Let’s see what she really wants!"

"Okay!" Xu Feng’e wiped away her tears. "She has no mercy, regardless of anything I’m still part of the Qin family!"

At the mention of this topic, the old lady was full of complaints. "She can betray Muchuan, dealing with you is even easier!" freeweɓnøvel.com

A glint appeared in Xu Feng’e’s eyes. "Mother, I don’t think we can allow her to stay in our family any longer. Drive her out!"

The old lady pursed her lips tightly, not uttering a single word.

Divorce?

If they truly divorced, what would happen to the two kids?"

Xu Feng’e could tell what was troubling her mother-in-law. "Mother, Jingya always had a soft spot for Muchuan, and she has been a mother to Tongtong for so many years. I admit that I was the mistress and I usurped her, but Jingya, my niece whom you saw growing up, is a very reliable girl. She will never do anything to hurt Muchuan!"

Jingya?

The old lady sunk into contemplation.

Seeing a lack of resistance, Xu Feng’e carried on with her persuasion. "It is true that I seized an opportunity all those years ago, thinking that I could arrange for Jingya to marry Muchuan. Jingya has always listened to me and agreed because she loved Muchuan. All things considered our Jingya ended up as the real loser. She’s been mothering Tongtong for 6 years, has been single all this while. Now, she’s already 30 years old and it won’t be easy for her to find a boyfriend..."

"To be fair, Jingya is a good girl."

Xu Feng’e nodded vigorously. "Indeed, though she didn’t graduate from a prestigious school, she still holds a bachelor’s degree and she’s quite attractive. Most importantly, I can guarantee that she’s still pure and has never messed around with other boys!"

The conversation was finally heading in a promising direction. The old lady had a spark in her eyes. "Alright, I will take this into careful consideration!"

The sky was getting darker outside the window, and the silvery moonlight fell on the phoenix tree branches, as the air grew increasingly quiet.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waited anxiously for Qin Muchuan’s return, but he never came back, nor did Lin Xiangwan.

The two children upstairs were also engrossed in their own sorrow and resentment.

Tongtong was holding her doll without any expression on her face, staring blankly in one direction.

Ranran was tearing up pieces of paper incessantly - the floor and the bed were littered with the shredded pieces.

Suddenly, Ranran ran to the window again and looked into the courtyard.

But the yard was still quiet, not a single car had come in.

"What do we do, mommy and daddy are not coming back!" Ranran said in despair.

Tongtong remained silent.

Ranran, not receiving any response, tears rolled down his cheeks, blaming his sister. "This is all your fault! Why did you talk to mom like that? Why did you ignore her? Mom kept knocking on your door for three days and kept talking to you, but you ignored her. This morning, when mom made breakfast for you, you even fed it to the dog, and didn’t let me interact with her. Mom must be devastated, that’s why she doesn’t want to come back!"

Under her brother’s rebuke, Qin Yutong also began to shed uneasy tears, like mercury trickling down. Every teardrop embodied her sadness and confusion. She cried helplessly as she continuously wiped her cheeks, "I didn’t mean to ignore mom, but I’m afraid she’ll abandon me again. I thought that if I threw a tantrum, mom would stay by my side! All I wanted was a little bit of her attention– was I wrong to feel this way?"

Ranran was also weeping miserably. "Of course you were wrong! If you don’t want mom anymore, why would she want to stay here? ..sob..sob.. I don’t want to stay here anymore. I was supposed to be with mom, but now that she’s gone, she doesn’t want me either..."

Ranran intended to say that he had really got the bad end of the deal since he was originally supposed to be with his mother.

"Sob...sob..." Yutong wiped away her tears and took out her cell phone. "I’ll call mom, I’ll ask her to come back!"

Ranran widened his watery eyes, full of hope. "Yes, hurry up and call her!"

Yutong quickly dialed the number, holding her breath as she waited.

However, despite repeated attempts, nobody answered the call.

The two children sank into even deeper sorrow.

’Bang bang bang...’ Various nails were being driven into the walls, and the air was filled with dense dust.

"This plasterboard needs to go up a little... Yes, that’s it..." Lin Xiangwan, dressed casually, with a headscarf on her head and a mask on her face, was directing amidst the chaos.

The worker standing on the ladder, under her command, nodded a few times "Is this ok?"

"Absolutely!" Lin Xiangwan managed to say despite her cough.

With a clang, the day’s work was finally done.

Once the workers had climbed down from the ladders, Lin Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing off the workers, Su Yueze pointed at the front door. "You can knock off now too, go home!"

Lin Xiangwan lingered in the empty house, reluctant to leave.

Su Yueze couldn’t help but frown. "What are you still fussing over? It’s not even completely renovated yet. You can tidy up after the cupboards are installed!"

Lin Xiangwan, still in her dusty clothes, continued to dawdle around, her back towards Su Yueze. "If you’re in a rush to get home, feel free to go ahead. I can take a taxi home."

Su Yueze’s frown deepens. "At this hour, can you really take a taxi home alone? Are you just making things easy for lechers?"

Lin Xiangwan, still with her back towards him. "I’m not that useless, I can fight off people if I need to!"

"Oh please, while you might be able to handle a woman, do you really think you stand a chance against a man?" Su Yueze urged her again. "Hurry up and go home before Qin Muchuan starts worrying!"

Lin Xiangwan stood up straight, chuckled sarcastically. "Rest assured, he won’t worry about me. Not just him, no one will worry about me!"
