"The child was originally ours; weāre just taking the child away now. Even if they call the police, weāre not in the wrong." Mr. Li Liang is an educated person, and saying this now isnāt because he doesnāt understand the situation.
Instead, heās certain that in doing so, the Mei Family wonāt make a big fuss for the sake of their reputation.
After Mr. Li Liang said this, he pondered for a moment and added, "When we leave, you should leave them a note along with the results of the appraisal, so they know why weāre taking the child."
"Alright, Iāll follow your advice then. But being a nanny is really tough, no wonder Sister Wu wanted to leave. That Mei Family is really not a good place, always such a mess, just like our family before Wei Xue was around, even more chaotic. Iāve been there for so many days and not once did it feel relaxed."
"Letās just take care of the child, donāt worry about them. You just need to endure for a few days, and after we take our grandson away, let them handle their own mess. Howās the child doing lately?"
"Oh, you wouldnāt believe it, our grandson is really well-behaved. When he gets home from school, he doesnāt cry or fuss, just sits quietly and does his homework. Even after heās done, he doesnāt rush to play. I initially felt sad seeing him sitting alone, so I encouraged him to go out and play, but the family didnāt allow it. They said they were afraid he might get hurt again, like last time when he hit his head and needed several stitches. It was quite the ordeal."
Mr. Li Liang seemed surprised, "Are you talking about the time just before we left, when the child hit his head?"
"Thatās right. It was partially our fault for leaving so hastily. The childās injuries were really severe, and thereās still a scar on his head. Itās quite scary, and we hadnāt known a thing about it. I regret it now," Li Liangās mother still worries.
"Ah, it was our hurry that caused this. We should have taken the child to the hospital first. Luckily, the child is fine now; we must take better care of him from here on.
"Absolutely, although they look proper in public, in reality, they donāt take care of him as we do. We must treat the child well."
"Yes, yes, letās first get the child out safely. We should head back now before staying out too long and arousing suspicion."
"Okay, I will head back. Donāt skimp on yourself when youāre alone. Eat what you should."
"Got it, got it."
Only Li Liangās parents know about this matter.
Xie Lingzhi has been working on Mr. Mei these days, but he hasnāt budged. She canāt see her son, her husband is out all day, and sheās troubled by failing to persuade the elderly. In her frustration, she gave up trying and spent the whole day playing cards, ignoring everything.
....
On the second day after Lin Wan was discharged, Han Yi returned. Seeing the two moms taking good care of Lin Wan and the child, Han Yi felt grateful and guilty.
"Look, how cute the baby is. Mom says he looks just like you when you were little." Han Xingyang grows uniquely every day now.
Han Yi smiled gently, carefully holding his son, much more experienced than with Little Star, "Yes, he really does. Xiao Wan, thank you for everything; Iām sorry I couldnāt come back sooner."
"Silly, donāt say that. Iām fine, the baby is fine, and thatās enough. I just hope both our kids are well. Oh, about Xingyangās household registration..." Lin Wan recalls and updates Han Yi.
Han Yi furrows his brows, "Donāt worry about that. Iāll call my father-in-law and ask him to keep an eye on Xingyangās matters; the Mei family wonāt cause problems."
"Thatās good to have you here." With Han Yi back, Lin Wan felt assured, "By the way, how long can you stay home?"
"Depending on the recruitment situation, if itās prolonged, we might go home together." Han Yi smiled warmly, "Iāll be here with you and the baby for the next few days. Whatever you want to eat, let me know; no need to trouble Mom, Iāll cook for you."
Lin Wan chuckled, "Iām not planning to binge during recovery; Iāve already gained over ten pounds, I canāt afford to gain ten more."
