Chapter 680
680 Raised Her Foot and Kicked Ye Ziqi Out of the Room
And then, Su Manman forcefully dragged the two kids towards the door…
“Mama, we didn’t! Mama, save us!” Fu Xinxin cried and shouted, tear streaks evident on her fair and pretty little face.
Even Fu Xinxin hadn’t seen this coming, that she and her younger brother would be dragged outside by Su Manman to be tossed into the lake.
All along, the pair of siblings were used to behaving in a tyrannous manner. Regardless of what happened, so long as they were kids, no one could do anything to them!
However, Su Manman completely disregarded the fact that they were kids! She was so fierce that it frightened them!
“Fu Manman! Did you not hear them say they didn’t push him?” Ye Ziqi screamed. “Fu Cheng, are you a dead man? Go and drag that Tuan Tuan kid down and let them confront each other!”
Fu Cheng frowned. He remained frozen to his spot as he said to Su Manman, “Let go of the two of them first! If it’s truly their doing, I’ll naturally give the Fu family an explanation!”
“Fu Cheng, are you a man or not!” Ye Ziqi’s eyes had a fierce glint. She detested how meek Fu Cheng was in front of the Fu family.
“Fu Manman! Since you claimed that Tuan Tuan said it was my kids who pushed him into the lake, then fine, I’ll go look for him and get him to come down and have a confrontation!”
Ye Ziqi then released her daughter’s arm and charged upstairs angrily, her eyes reddened and looking ferocious.
“Stop there, Ziqi!” Fu Cheng called after his wife. Seeing that Ye Ziqi didn’t stop despite his appeal for her to do so, he glanced at his son and daughter, then looked towards Housekeeper Ye. “Uncle Ye, I’ll trouble you to look after the two kids!”
Fu Cheng then ran after Ye Ziqi.
Housekeeper Ye quickly said, “Miss Manman, don’t be anxious. When Young Master Tuan Tuan comes down, we can clarify matters. You can flare up when the truth is revealed!”
“Fu Manman! Let go of those two kids!” Su Manman’s grandfather, Fu Qingshui, angrily rebuked her!
After all, Su Manman had spoken harshly of Fu Cheng to his face. He felt it was overboard of her to say that Tuan Tuan was the one truly carrying the Fu family’s blood and ask what darned things his two brats were.
This was as good as stabbing a knife in Fu Cheng’s heart!
Seeing a grim-faced Su Manman yanking the two children who shamelessly tried to stay on the ground, Su Manman’s mother feared that things might get out of hand, so she frantically ran over to pull at Su Manman. In a small voice, she said, “You can wait until after we clarify matters to throw them in! What’s the hurry?”
…
Lin Nuan hugged Tuan Tuan and sat by the window. Seeing the child’s eyes, which remained reddened, she gritted her teeth.
The laughter and insults spewed after the two kids pushed Tuan Tuan into the water still vividly replayed in Lin Nuan’s mind. Especially those of Fu Xinxin, who was still quite a young child. Although she looked innocent, her heart turned out to be so vicious!
Lin Nuan wouldn’t let this matter rest just because they were kids. She was going to claim justice for Tuan Tuan!
Lin Nuan embraced Tuan Tuan tightly, the side of her face pressed against Tuan Tuan’s forehead. Upon hearing the child’s even breathing, her eyes felt sore and swollen.
Lin Nuan had experienced the fear of near-death situations!
For such a small child to experience something like that… How frightened must Tuan Tuan have been when he was struggling in the chilly lake water!
Lin Nuan seemed to have heard Tuan Tuan’s desperate voice as he shouted for his mama!
Lin Nuan’s throat felt swollen and painful. Subconsciously, she hugged Tuan Tuan even tighter, afraid she’d lost Tuan Tuan just like that!
Before she had Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan didn’t understand how a mother felt. Now, she could perfectly understand why so many mothers would lose their cool and get into a quarrel with others upon seeing their children injured, even without finding out what had happened.
At that time, when she glared at Fu Cheng’s two kids, she even had the urge to murder them!
Especially the girl who said that Fu Huai’an would be devastated if Tuan Tuan died—Lin Nuan really wanted to chop her into pieces!
Lin Nuan’s eyes were watery and red. She closed them and gently kissed Tuan Tuan’s forehead, hugging him tightly.
“Bump—”
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Tuan Tuan, who was in Lin Nuan’s arms, got a scare. He instantly opened his eyes and let out a crying sound, his fear evident in his eyes. He thought that he was still in the lake, and his arms were flailing about trying to grab Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan frantically moved Tuan Tuan into an upright position in her arms and patted his back. “Don’t be scared, Tuan Tuan! Mama is here! Mama is here!”
Ye Ziqi, whose eyes had reddened, was standing at the door.
Lin Nuan held Tuan Tuan tightly and stared at Ye Ziqi with a dark look. With Tuan Tuan in her arms, she got up and walked towards the door, her murderous intent evident in her red eyes. It was as if she carried a wind with her as she walked.
“Lin Nuan! What did you tell Fu Manman to make her insist on throwing my children into the lake? My two kids said that they didn’t push your kid! You’re accusing my children based on your empty words! Do you dare to bring this child downstairs and have him confront my two kids?”
As Ye Ziqi saw Lin Nuan walking towards her, she ferociously pointed a finger at Tuan Tuan and demanded. She looked at Tuan Tuan with a gaze that suggested she wanted to eat him alive.
Having jolted awake from the scare, Tuan Tuan held onto Lin Nuan’s neck as if his life depended on it and began to cry hysterically.
With a dark face, Lin Nuan walked to the door. At that point, Fu Cheng had caught up to Ye Ziqi. Lin Nuan’s expression remained unchanged as she raised her foot and kicked Ye Ziqi out of the room. Ye Ziqi’s abdomen hurt from that kick, and as she retreated and fell into Fu Cheng’s arms from that forceful kick, she screamed, “Lin Nuan!”
Lin Nuan slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside, then carried Tuan Tuan towards the bed…
Ye Ziqi struggled to get out of Fu Cheng’s arms, wanting to knock on the door again. However, Fu Cheng grabbed Ye Ziqi’s collar in one swoop and yanked her towards the stairs. In a low voice, he warned her, “Don’t add to my troubles!”
Ye Ziqi gazed at Fu Cheng with her reddened eyes. Seeing the somber look in his eyes, she gritted her teeth and held back her tears.
Ye Ziqi was clear about their goal for returning this time around. She also knew that it’d do their plan no good if she were to continue kicking up a fuss at the Fus’ house!
But this concerned her kids, so she couldn’t hold herself back!
In the room, Lin Nuan gently caressed Tuan Tuan’s back as she whispered in his ears, “Tuan Tuan, Mama is here! It’s Mama… don’t be scared! It’s Mama…”
Tuan Tuan’s crying eased, but the little arms that were clutching onto Lin Nuan were still trembling.
After Tuan Tuan managed to calm down, Lin Nuan squatted down and let him stand in her arms. She cupped her hands around Tuan Tuan’s little face and said to Tuan Tuan, whose eyes had reddened, “Tuan Tuan, Mama will go downstairs now to help you get back your necklace, okay?”
When Tuan Tuan heard that his mother was going to help him retrieve his necklace, he nodded vigorously. “En!”
“Then be good and stay here by yourself. Mama will get someone to come and keep you company, okay?”
The minute Tuan Tuan heard this, he squirmed into Lin Nuan’s arms and refused to let go of her neck. “No!”
Lin Nuan knew that Tuan Tuan was traumatized from the incident and needed a sense of security the most at this moment…
She felt terrible, unwilling to leave Tuan Tuan here alone.
Furthermore, having seen how Tuan Tuan was pushed into the lake, Lin Nuan was terrified of letting Tuan Tuan out of her sight.
With a heavy heart, Lin Nuan gritted her teeth and asked, “Then, do you want to go downstairs with Mama?”
Tuan Tuan nodded. “En!”
Lin Nuan placed her hands on Tuan Tuan’s shoulders, her heart aching for him. Her gaze was fixated on Tuan Tuan as she asked, “There will be a lot of elders downstairs later, and the two that pushed you into the lake will be there as well. Are you afraid?”
