Chapter 1485: Chapter 1254
"Your father, you..."
Old Lady Gao’s lips quivered, unsure of what to say.
Because at this moment, she clearly understood that her husband’s mood was truly terrible; otherwise, he wouldn’t be furrowing his brows and smoking heavily.
But the situation had already unfolded, what could she do now?
Old Master Gao smoked three cigarettes one after another. Before heading to the study, he left instructions for Old Lady Gao: "When they return, have them come to the study to see me."
"Alright."
Old Lady Gao responded.
...
Taking the bus all the way to the train station, Wang Xiaohui felt continuously uneasy. She hadn’t intended to take her daughter back to her parents’ home in Hu City, but after thinking carefully at home today, she finally decided to leave the house with her daughter before Old Master Gao got off work to avoid trouble.
Reason?
She was afraid, afraid that the trouble she caused yesterday would lead Old Master Gao to surely not let her off.
"Mom, I don’t want to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house."
Getting off the bus, Wang Xiaohui carried a luggage bag in one hand and held her daughter Little Moonlight in the other hand. Suddenly hearing her daughter’s words, she couldn’t respond and just kept holding her daughter’s hand tightly, heading forward.
"I want to go back to our own home, Mom. I don’t want to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house; they only like the little girl at Uncle’s house and are not nice to me at all."
Gao Xinyue tried to free herself from Wang Xiaohui’s grip, but she was too small and weak. Wang Xiaohui almost pulled her into a jog; otherwise, Gao Xinyue wouldn’t be able to keep up and might end up being dragged on the ground.
"Don’t talk nonsense, how can your Grandma and Grandpa not be good to you?"
Glaring at her daughter, Wang Xiaohui grumbled discontentedly: "If it weren’t because of you, would I be taking you to Grandma and Grandpa’s house?"
Her family’s conditions weren’t as good as the Gao Family’s, but were still decent. However, in her parents’ hearts, her siblings were more important than her. If it weren’t for her meeting Gao Qiming while studying in North City and using some tricks to marry into the Gao Family, they probably wouldn’t have cared much if she were to die far from home.
Yet, given the current situation, she couldn’t afford to overthink; she just wanted to leave North City as soon as possible.
If things settled down at home without any signs of trouble, she would bring her daughter back.
"Wang Xiaohui!"
Gao Qiming and the driver searched the train station but couldn’t find Wang Xiaohui. They checked the ticket counter for the next train to Hu City and confirmed that Wang Xiaohui was still in North City because the latest train had left an hour ago, and the next one wouldn’t depart for another two hours.
Given that certainty, Gao Qiming and the driver searched the station thoroughly, even asking a cleaning lady to check the women’s restroom, but they didn’t find Wang Xiaohui and her daughter.
Unexpectedly, just as they exited the waiting hall, considering searching near the bus stop, they saw Wang Xiaohui holding Gao Xinyue’s hand, hurriedly approaching the hall. Immediately, Gao Qiming shouted.
"Daddy! Daddy, hug me!"
Upon hearing Gao Qiming’s voice, Wang Xiaohui stopped in her tracks, momentarily stunned. This gave Gao Xinyue the chance to break free and run towards Gao Qiming with her little legs.
It wasn’t that Wang Xiaohui intentionally released her daughter’s hand; she simply lost grip for a moment, combined with Gao Xinyue’s effort, leading to this moment where Wang Xiaohui could only watch helplessly as her daughter ran to Gao Qiming and was picked up by him.
"Come home with me."
While holding his daughter and approaching, without Gao Qiming’s instruction, the driver took Wang Xiaohui’s luggage bag, giving her no chance to refuse. When she snapped back to reality, fear and anxiety filled her eyes, "I told my mother-in-law I was taking Little Moonlight to my mom’s for a while."
"Dad instructed me and Uncle Li to come to the train station to take you and Little Moonlight back."
Gao Qiming said, holding his daughter in one arm and grasping Wang Xiaohui’s arm with the other. Regardless of her expression, he guided her towards the black sedan parked at the roadside with the driver, Master Li.
"Gao Qiming, let go!"
Upon hearing Gao Qiming’s words, Wang Xiaohui panicked, realizing that now sitting in the car meant she was being taken back to the family compound under Old Master Gao’s orders. It seemed she really had stirred up trouble at the kindergarten yesterday.
To prevent Wang Xiaohui from taking any drastic actions, Gao Qiming kept hold of her arm even while seated in the car before it started moving.
