Chapter 239: I Saw Your Mom
In the Gu Group, Lisa ran into the meeting room and whispered in Gu Zijin’s ear when he was having a conference.
“Dismiss.” Rising to his feet, Gu Zijin ordered.
President Gu left. Then, there was endless muttering about this.
Gu Zijin had been frowning since he stepped out of the room. He gave the documents in his hands to Lisa, “Cancel the video conference tonight.”
“Yes, sir.” Answered Lisa. Anger flashed across Gu Zijin’s face. Peeping at her boss, Lisa felt sorry for Li Cheng. ‘Well, he took his eyes off Qin Xiaobai. As a result, Yan Yuxiao took the kid away.’
Lisa stopped until she followed Gu Zijin to the elevator, “See you, Mr. Gu.”
As soon as the man arrived at the first floor, he saw Li Cheng who sat on the sofa in the hall.
“What happened?” Gu Zijin asked with a livid face.
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Gu. Yan Yuxiao led away Little Master when I was out.” Li Cheng had left for starting the engine. He had never expected that Yan Yuxiao would succeed in such a short time.
Gu Zijin scowled. Technically, Yan Yuxiao wouldn’t lay hands on Qin Xiaobai at this point. “Find out where they are!”
“Got it.” Li Cheng left straightaway.
Yan Yuxiao was not muddleheaded. Indeed, she wouldn’t attack Qin Xiaobai now because the wedding day was coming. Besides, she didn’t take the kid away. Qin Xiaobai followed her.
“Xiaobai, what would you like? I will buy you some.” Yan Yuxiao stared at Qin Xiaobai, trying to grin more amiably.
“I’m not here for food.” Qin Xiaobai kept a straight face, showing impatience.
He followed Qin Yuxiao because she said she would tell him something about his mother. However, the woman hadn’t mentioned Qin Muxuan since they entered this restaurant.
“Take it easy. Come and sit with me. I will tell you.”
“You’d better keep your word.” Qin Xiaobai snorted.
“That’s all for now. Oh, we also need a dessert.” Yan Yuxiao returned the menu to a waiter.
Nodding, the waiter took it and left. Yan Yuxiao placed a gift box, which was in the bag beside her, on the table. “Xiaobai, this is a Spiderman figure. It’s a limited edition. Do you like it?”
Qin Xiaobai cocked his ears when hearing there was a Spiderman figure. He couldn’t help but glance at it, and then he ignored Yan Yuxiao’s words.
Yan Yuxiao had been rebuffed by Qin Xiaobai many times, which she got used to. “I saw your mom two days ago.”
“Where’s Dabai?” As soon as the woman mentioned Qin Muxuan, the kid turned to her immediately.
However, Yan Yuxiao changed the subject, “If you accept the gift, I’ll tell you.”
Frowning, Qin Xiaobai had no choice but to take the figure. “Deal. Now you can tell me.”
At the same time, a waiter served the dishes.
“No worries. Let’s have the meal first.”
Qin Xiaobai finally realized that Yan Yuxiao had no intention to reveal Qin Muxuan’s whereabouts. The sly woman tricked him into dining with her.
Indeed, Yan Yuxiao tried to seize the opportunity to bond with Qin Xiaobai, but she didn’t expect to ruin the chance.
“I’m gonna leave. Enjoy yourself.” Qin Xiaobai hopped off the sofa and left with his mask and cap on.
Desperate, Yan Yuxiao rushed out. “Xiaobai!” As soon as she was at the entrance of the restaurant, a group of paparazzi surrounded her. She forgot to put on her sunglasses, so those lensmen recognized her instantly.
“Ms. Yan, I’ve heard that you’re here to dine with Mr. Gu and his ex-wife’s son. What do you think about becoming Qin Xiaobai’s stepmother?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Not knowing how these paparazzi got the news, Yan Yuxiao thought, ‘Apparently, they are here to wait for us.’
“Ms. Yan, is Qin Xiaobai in the restaurant?”
Yan Yuxiao gave a stiff smile, ‘Qin Xiaobai? He’s gone. You didn’t recognize him because he wore a mask and a cap!’
“Sorry. I’m here to dine with Xiaobai. We had a good time. Hope you guys would leave us alone. Thank you.” As an actress, Yan Yuxiao didn’t give them a straight answer, but brushed them off with a few words.
Yan Yuxiao’s words made the reporters think Qin Xiaobai was in the restaurant. In order to be consistent with her ambiguous words, Yan Yuxiao returned to the restaurant and stayed for another hour. Noticing they were gone, she left in disguise.
On the other side, Qin Xiaobai called Li Cheng as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant. The man felt relieved after receiving the phone call. Immediately, he informed Gu Zijin. Li Cheng then drove to pick Qin Xiaobai up.
Qin Xiaobai waited for Li Cheng at the curb.
The kid booted small stones with his mouth pouting. He was downcast. ‘If I had known that, I wouldn’t have followed her. That woman detests Dabai. How could she tell me Dabai’s whereabouts?’
Qin Xiaobai regarded Yan Yuxiao as a vicious woman.
“Little Master!” Li Cheng parked the car in front of Qin Xiaobai.
“Sorry to trouble you.” The child apologized with his head down.
‘I shouldn’t have said nothing and followed Qin Yuxiao.’ Qin Xiaobai’s phone was mute, so he didn’t notice Li Cheng had called him several times.
“Little Master, it’s good to see you are all right. Mr. Gu’s worrying about you.”
“Then… May I go to daddy’s company? I don’t wanna go home.” Qin Xiaobai jumped into the car. He considered Yan Yuxiao’s words, ‘She might really know where Dabai is!’
“Of course. Little Master, please fasten the seatbelt.” Li Cheng nodded. The car headed to Gu Zijin’s company.
On their way, Qin Xiaobai guessed if Yan Yuxiao had seen Qin Muxuan two days ago, she wouldn’t have met him today. She should have come at him after seeing Qin Muxuan unless that was a remote place.
‘No wonder daddy can’t find Dabai. It seems that Dabai isn’t in City A.’
Thinking about that, Qin Xiaobai asked Li Cheng to speed up. The kid was desperate to see Gu Zijin and tell his father his speculation.
After a while, they arrived at the Gu Group.
