Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

Su Jian’an reacted quickly, and she immediately realized that Xu Youning was trying to persuade her.

She interrupted Xu Youning. “What are you talking about? Kang Ruicheng is such a despicable person. Even if it weren’t for you, he won’t miss any opportunity to threaten Boyan. You can’t blame the kidnap on yourself.”

“…”

Next, Su Jian’an said in a commanding tone, “Also, stop talking about that. Youning, you are pregnant. Once you return to Kang Ruicheng, not only you but also the child will be in danger. We can’t let you go back!”

“…”

Xu Youning did not expect Su Jian’an to stay firm. She didn’t know what to say next.

If Mu Sijue and Su Jian’an didn’t treat her so well, perhaps it would be easier for her to make a choice.

“Don’t think about it. Let’s go back first.”

Su Jian’an pulled Xu Youning back to the villa.

Luo Xiaoxi sat on the sofa in the living room. When she saw Su Jian’an coming back, she suddenly stood up and asked, “Jian’an, what happened?”

She vaguely felt that the air at the top of the mountain had even become charged with tension.

She did not like this feeling.

“…” Su Jian’an was silent for a moment. “Kang Ruicheng kidnapped Aunt Zhou and my mom.”

“Kang Ruicheng kidnapped Auntie Tang and Aunt Zhou?” In disbelief, Luo Xiaoxi opened her eyes wide, and then she completely exploded with anger. “Is Kang Ruicheng a beast? Even if he is a beast, can he do things within boundaries? Auntie Tang and Aunt Zhou are both very old. He actually kidnapped two old people who have no power to fight back!”

With her eyes turning red, Su Jian’an said weakly, “Xiaoxi, you’re right. Kang Ruicheng is a beast without boundaries, and he can do anything.”

Luo Xiaoxi came over, took out a piece of tissue, and handed it to Su Jian’an. “Are you greatly worried?”

Su Jian’an closed her eyes, and the tears almost came out of her eyes.

Fifteen years ago, Kang Ruicheng had already been eager to kill Tang Yulan to eliminate any future troubles. Now, when Tang Yulan was in his grasp, it was unknown how Kang Ruicheng would torture the old lady.

She did not know if the old lady could hold on.

“Don’t cry.” Luo Xiaoxi stroked Su Jian’an’s back and added, “Where are Boyan and Boss Mu? Do they know?”

Su Jian’an nodded. “They have left to deal with it.”

“Leave it to them.” Luo Xiaoxi pulled Su Jian’an to sit down and confidently comforted her. “Boyan and Boss Mu will definitely make Kang Ruicheng die miserably. Auntie Tang and Aunt Zhou will come back safe and sound!”

Su Jian’an wiped her eyes. At the moment, she could only comfort herself as Luo Xiaoxi did.

Luo Xiaoxi suddenly remembered another thing. “Where are Mumu and Yunyun? Are they back?”

Su Jian’an said, “Boyan just sent some people to pick them up. They should be back soon.”

Luo Xiaoxi was still worried. She took out her mobile phone, unlocked it, and said, “I’ll call Yunyun.”

At the same time, Xiao Yunyun’s car just arrived at the checkpoint.

Xiao Yunyun clearly felt that there were so many guards at the checkpoint today. Everyone looked cool and serious as if they were facing a formidable enemy on the mountain.

Something happened, indeed.

Xiao Yunyun unconsciously clenched Mumu’s hand.

Mumu felt a slight pain, but he didn’t moan. He just asked, “Sister Yunyun, why didn’t Granny Zhou come back with us? Didn’t you say that she would come back with us after buying the ingredients?”

“Granny Zhou…”

Xiao Yunyun was thinking about how to explain it to the little boy when her phone rang. She quickly answered the phone. “Cousin-in-law!”

“Yunyun, where are you?” Luo Xiaoxi’s voice came, and she sounded a little anxious. “Have Boyan’s men taken you back?”

“We met a long time ago.” Xiao Yunyun said, “We just passed the checkpoint. We’ll soon arrive at the top of the mountain.”

Passing the checkpoint meant that Xiao Yunyun was already in their territory and she was safe.

Luo Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief. “Fine. We’ll wait for you.”

“Cousin-in-law, hold on.” Xiao Yunyun covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, “What should we do about that thing?”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi knew what Xiao Yunyun was referring to. She pondered for a few seconds and said, “I’ll discuss it with Jian’an first.”

“OK.”

Xiao Yunyun hung up the phone and tried her best to look at Mumu naturally. The little boy was staring at her with innocent eyes and waiting for her to answer where Aunt Zhou went.

She remembered that when she left the hospital, Shen Yuechuan arranged for some people to escort her while telling her that Aunt Zhou might have been kidnapped by Kang Ruicheng.

Shen Yuechuan especially reminded her to take care of Mumu. Of course, the most important thing was to keep herself safe.

Now, how could she tell Mumu that Aunt Zhou was in his daddy’s grasp?

“Sister Yunyun,” Mumu blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.” Xiao Yunyun forced a smile and temporarily found an excuse for Aunt Zhou’s whereabouts. “Granny Zhou may have been back.”

Mumu replied with an “oh” and said obediently, “Then let’s go back to find Granny Zhou!”

Xiao Yunyun’s smile almost collapsed.

After arriving at the top of the mountain, neither Mumu nor she could find Aunt Zhou.

Xiao Yunyun suddenly remembered that when Su Jian’an called her, she said happily that she would celebrate an unforgettable birthday for Mumu so that he could happily end his life on the top of the mountain.

However, because of his daddy, this birthday might have become the worst birthday in Mumu’s life.

Then again, since things went wrong, would her cousin and cousin-in-law still celebrate Mumu’s birthday?

On the top of the mountain, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi were also thinking about the same thing.

Su Jian’an was no longer in the mood to celebrate, but Mumu… would leave soon, as a bargaining chip in their negotiation with Kang Ruicheng, wouldn’t he?

This four-year-old kid had to face the grievances between Kang Ruicheng and them, and he also had to accept the fact that he was standing against them.

Luo Xiaoxi asked Xu Youning, “Youning, what do you think we should do? Or do you have any suggestions?”

Xu Youning only said, “I’ll listen to Jian’an.” At this time, she was no longer qualified to speak.

After that, two pairs of eyes were fixed on Su Jian’an at the same time. Both of them were waiting for her to make a decision.

Su Jian’an thought for a long time and finally said, “Let’s celebrate.”

Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Jian’an in surprise and confusion. “Are you sure?”

Su Jian’an nodded. “This is our original plan. After celebrating his birthday, we… may have to use him.”

Luo Xiaoxi knew what Su Jian’an was referring to. Kang Ruicheng kidnapped Tang Yulan and Aunt Zhou, making them become his bargaining chips.

They must also have a bargaining chip in the negotiation with Kang Ruicheng.

Without a doubt, Mumu was their biggest bargaining chip.

When the little boy first came here, no one thought of using him.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had no choice, Su Jian’an and Lu Boyan would not use a four-year-old child.

Su Jian’an just wanted to make it up to Mumu through this celebration.

Luo Xiaoxi nodded, looked at Xu Youning, and asked for her opinion.

“I have no objection, but I have a request.” Xu Youning said, “If we have to tell Mumu the truth, I hope that I’m the person who will tell him.”

The truth was too cruel, far beyond what a four-year-old child could bear.

Xu Youning was the person that Mumu was most familiar with. Only she could pacify Mumu and let the little boy calmly accept and face the fact.

Su Jian’an said, “I also intend to do the same.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mumu pulled Xu Youning in.

The little boy glanced at the people in the living room and said, “Eh?” “Why are you the only ones here? Where is Granny Zhou?”

“…” For a moment, no one knew how to answer. The living room was shrouded in a strange silence.

Mumu tilted his head and was suddenly enlightened. “Ah!” He said, “We’re in Auntie Jian’an’s house. Granny Zhou must be in Uncle Mu’s house!”

Before the adults answered, Mumu ran out quickly and returned to the villa next door.

Su Jian’an said, “Let’s go too.”

Xiao Yunyun cast a puzzled look at Luo Xiaoxi. “Will my cousin still celebrate Mumu’s birthday?”

Luo Xiaoxi nodded, took Xiao Yunyun’s hand, and walked with her to the next door.

At the same time, Mumu had rushed back to the villa next door.

As soon as he entered the door, the little boy found that Uncle Mu’s house was different. He stopped, looked carefully, and then was stunned.

The living room was filled with the images in his favorite cartoons, as well as some things related to those cartoons. There was also a line of English words made of colorful balloons on the TV wall. It read: Happy Birthday to Mumu.

Mumu did not know exactly when his birthday was, because no one had ever celebrated his birthday. It was a few days after his birthday that someone remembered it.

However, since his birthday was over and they all said that they would celebrate it next year, he could only let it go.

Today, Auntie Youning decorated the house like this, so it should be his birthday today, right?

Could anyone celebrate his birthday this year?

Mumu slowly turned around and looked at Xu Youning, Su Jian’an, and others.

Su Jian’an raised her lips with difficulty. “Happy birthday, Mumu.”

“Thank you, Auntie Jian’an!”

Mumu was really happy, and the corners of his small mouth were raised to the maximum. The smile on his face spread into his pure eyes as if his pleasure were going to spread across this villa.

Xu Youning walked in and touched Mumu’s head. “Are you happy?”

Mumu nodded, with his eyes shining brightly. “This is the first time someone has celebrated my birthday. I’m very happy!”

Su Jian’an dialed a number and asked the staff of the club to send the cake over.

Mumu’s eyes widened in surprise. “Is there still a cake?”

“Yep.” Xu Youning said, “Auntie Jian’an made it for you.”

“Wow!” The little boy looked at Su Jian’an and said, “Thank you, Auntie Jian’an!”

Su Jian’an’s throat seemed to be stuck by something. She opened her mouth, but could not make any sound.

In the end, she managed to say three words. “You are welcome.”

Mumu indeed didn’t have to thank her.
