Chapter 282 The child was taken away
Lin Ran's unease continued until she got off work.
Fortunately, the company is just starting out and doesn't have too many tasks on hand.
As soon as it was time to leave work, Lin Ran hurriedly left the company.
Su Yi originally wanted to say a few words to her, but seeing her run away, he could only helplessly shift his gaze to Fu Sinian.
"Boss, you said..."
Before Su Yi could finish speaking, Fu Sinian had already finished packing his things and stood up, ruthlessly interrupting him.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I have something to do now, so I'll be going now."
Su Yi's face was filled with utter bewilderment as he watched the two people leave one after the other.
However, this time, Fu Sinian did not leave with Lin Ran after going out; instead, he drove to the mall.
"Sir, is there anything you need?"
Fu Sinian looked around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke in a very domineering voice.
"Wrap up all the toys here that are suitable for little girls."
"Wait, just pack up a few of the best-selling ones for me. Too many isn't good."
Although Fu Ssu-nien changed his mind at the last minute, the waiters showed no displeasure whatsoever.
You should know that the toy store here is the largest toy store in Kyoto, and the most popular toys are not cheap.
Normally, selling just one item would bring in a substantial commission, so when Fu Sinian asked for so many at once, they were practically worshipping him.
Fu Sinian looked at the terrifying number, swiped his card without changing his expression, picked up his toys, and turned to leave.
Su Yi was right last night. Lin Ran cares most about her child. If he can please Niannian now and Niannian likes him, wouldn't he have many more opportunities than someone else?
Fu Ssu-nien was very confident when it came to pleasing children.
Regardless, he had watched Nian Nian grow up, and the little girl was usually quite affectionate towards him. She wouldn't ignore him and go after a strange man, would she?
As Fu Sinian thought this, he couldn't help but hum a song, his contented expression suggesting he was already holding the reins.
Meanwhile, Lin Ran's unease grew stronger, and she went straight to the kindergarten without stopping.
It was just after school, and Lin Ran waited patiently at the gate. But it wasn't until only a few children remained in the kindergarten that she finally realized something was wrong.
"Hello, I am Lin Niannian's mother. Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Lin Ran's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and she could only calm down by pinching her palms hard.
The teacher thought for a moment before explaining.
"Wasn't little Niannian picked up this afternoon?"
"They were picked up? Impossible, who came to pick them up?"
Hearing the teacher's words, Lin Ran completely broke down.
She asked in a trembling voice, a million possibilities flashing through her mind in an instant.
Seeing her like this, the teacher finally panicked.
For a kindergarten, having a child taken away by someone is no small matter.
It's very likely that the entire kindergarten will go out of business because of this.
Realizing this, the teacher panicked and tried hard to recall the scene from the afternoon.
“Every year, she was picked up by a man. The man was very handsome and tall, and he was driving a black car.”
"By the way, Niannian knows him. The man claimed to be Niannian's father. I only let him take the child away because Niannian knew him."
Dad every year...
Lin Ran immediately understood something and turned to run away without saying anything to the teacher.
What usually seemed like a short distance felt incredibly long to Lin Ran today.
She stood panting at the door, holding the key in her hand, but she couldn't get the keyhole right. A thin mist welled up in her eyes with anxiety.
pat.
Fortunately, the key went in, and Lin Ran couldn't wait to push the door open and go inside.
In the living room, two people were sitting on the sofa talking. Upon hearing the sound, they turned their heads in unison to look over.
When Lin Ran saw Niannian, her mind went blank for a moment before she came to her senses.
Xiao Jingchen clearly hadn't expected Lin Ran to return so suddenly. He glanced at the time, his face showing some regret.
Time has flown by without me even noticing.
"Mommy, you're back! There's so much delicious food here, come and eat!"
Niannian didn't notice the strange atmosphere. She waved to Lin Ran and then lowered her head to eat the snacks.
Xiao Jingchen opened his mouth, about to explain, when Lin Ran strode over.
Her usual gentleness was gone, and she unceremoniously pulled Lin Suisui up from the sofa.
"Lin Suisui!"
"Who gave you permission to sneak away from the kindergarten with other kids? Do you know how scared Mommy is?"
What if you get arrested?
Lin Niannian had never seen Lin Ran so fierce before. She pouted, tears instantly filling her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to cry.
She clutched the hem of her clothes nervously with her two little hands, her mouth pursed as she cried silently.
Xiao Jingchen felt extremely sorry for her, patted her little head, and began to explain.
"Don't be angry, it's all my fault."
"I originally planned to take Niannian with me for a while, and then send her back before you found out, but I forgot to check the time."
Xiao Jingchen looked quite helpless, but he explained earnestly. Someone who didn't know better might have thought he was talking about some big business deal.
But Lin Ran only glanced at him, grabbed his sleeve, and pushed him out the door.
"If Mr. Xiao has plenty of free time, why don't you go to the company and see if there's any work that needs to be done?"
"Instead of secretly taking someone else's child when they're not around."
The words "other people's children" struck a deep chord in Xiao Jingchen's heart. He was about to retort, but when he met Lin Ran's red eyes, his heart softened.
“It’s my fault, but year after year…”
"My child is none of Mr. Xiao's concern. If there's nothing else, please leave now."
"It would be best if you never came here again."
Lin Ran practically screamed out the last sentence.
She slammed the door shut and squatted down on the floor, panting.
Niannian, who was standing behind her, seemed to realize what was happening and burst into tears.
"Mommy, I'm sorry, I'll never do it again, please don't be angry, Mommy."
Nian Nian jogged up to Lin Ran and tried her best to open her arms to hug her.
"Mommy, Niannian was wrong, please don't be angry anymore, please don't ignore Niannian, waaaaah..."
A heart-wrenching cry rang in her ears. Lin Ran raised her head, her eyes red, and pressed the small bundle into her arms with both hands.
"I'm sorry, Mommy shouldn't have yelled at you so loudly just now. Did I scare you?"
Lin Ran's tears kept falling, and her tone was full of regret.
