Chapter 178 Children-oriented
Seeing Xia Nuan puzzled, Di Yun couldn’t help but remind her, “If you want to get the custody of the child as soon as possible, you should testify in court on behalf of Su Weiwei.”
She understood at once and then said with a smile, “This is no problem. It’s just, Mr. Prosecutor, I’m wondering what do you want me to tell? The truth, or something exaggerated?”
“Now the great influence of Ye Sichen’s lawsuit has already gotten the Allies involved. So, you need to exaggerate to make sure the wining of the case. Moreover, if Su’s Family wins the lawsuit, Ye Sichen would definitely be sentenced. And that would be a good thing for you.”
That was quite frank for him to say.
Obviously, he wanted Xia Nuan to give false testimony in the court so that Ye Sichen would be implicated in Su Weiwei’s death.
“That sounds reasonable. However, since it is necessary to exaggerate, I may need to prepare for it elaborately…” She said perplexedly.
Di Yun understood her intention. Then he gave a check to her and said, “This is a check with a face value of ten million. Please take it. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not doing this to buy you off. The check is just a reward for your courage to testify in court.”
Of course, he just made it sound good. However, Xia Nuan knew exactly what he was doing. She smiled and took it over, “Mr. Di, I will definitely testify in court according to your request. Not only in order to clear Su Weiwei’s name, but also to support your work.”
Di Yun firstly had some precautions against Xia Nuan. However, when she received the check, he let his guard down completely and couldn’t help smiling at her.
Before leaving, he told her that tomorrow was the opening day of the court session and she must be present. After negotiating the details with him, she left the coffee shop.
When she got in the car, Lan called to say that the bodyguards had arrived.
Xia Nuan heard a news on her way to meet the bodyguards.
It was about Ye Enchen. According to the news, Ye Enchen was missing.
She looked ahead and couldn’t help sneering.
When she left the other day, she locked his bedroom deliberately and distracted his subordinates with a note, saying that he had left in his name.
No one cared about Ye Enchen’s missing but Ye Sichen’s lawsuit. Tomorrow was the day of the hearing, but Ye Sichen was in hospital.
The doctor told the police about the cause of his disease. But the police issued a message to the media that Ye Sichen fell unconscious because of excessive nervousness.
Everyone believed in this statement except Xia Nuan and some fans who had faith in him. Most of the public firmly believed that Ye Sichen was the one who killed Su Weiwei.
Xia Nuan was upset for this. So, she sped up to contact with her bodyguards.
The bodyguards were mostly women and they were agile. Their arm strengths were comparable to those of men. In fact, she didn’t want to mobilize them at the beginning. However, given the entanglement of Ye Sichen last time, she really didn’t want to experience that again.
She assigned the bodyguards their works and began to prepare for the court trial tomorrow in advance.
“Ms. Xia, Mr. Lacy wants to see you.” The bodyguard came in and said.
Xia Nuan was in a daze. Then she closed the file, got up and followed the bodyguard to the living room.
Lacy was dressed in an English style casual dress with sunglasses. He was looking around.
“Mr. Lacy? What can I do for you?” Xia Nuan came to him and said.
Lacy came to his sense and took off his sunglasses, then he said, “Nuan, since you are in Modu City. Why don’t you go and see your children?”
Xia Nuan smiled bitterly and served a cup of tea for Lacy. Then she said, “Of course I want to see them. But do you really think he would give me that chance?”
The man she mentioned was Ye Sichen.
Every time she thought of his being in hospital, she felt distressed.
Lacy sighed and took a sip of tea. After a while, he said, “As their mother, you are obliged to take care of them. Although Mi Ke’er earnestly wish to accompany them every day, I oppose her to doing that.”
The woman paid too much attention to the children and didn’t have time to exchange feelings with him. He was so angry that he came here to look for Xia Nuan. He hoped that Xia Nuan would accompany her children. Only in this way could Mi Ke’er have more time with him.
Xia Nuan looked at Lacy and asked after a moment, “Is he getting better?”
“After he was undressed and examined, he fell into a coma. Then he was taken to the hospital by the police. Even I can’t stand this humiliating treatment, not to mention Ye Sichen. He always pays attention to his own conduct. But now…” Speaking of this, Lacy sighed again and then said, “Although sometimes I’m jealous of him, I don’t believe he would hurt anyone. I’ve worked with him for several years and I know what he is really like.”
Xia Nuan felt distressed again to hear that Ye Sichen was forced to take off his clothes for examination.
“The children stay with Mi Ke’er. I can take you there. Let’s go. I know you miss them, too.” Lacy interrupted Xia Nuan’s thoughts.
Xia Nuan said expectantly, “I, are you serious that I can go there?” Last time because she went to find…
“Why can’t you go? You are their mother and you are obliged to take care of them.” Lacy urged Xia Nuan.
Driven by Lacy’s words, Xia Nuan couldn’t help but get up and follow him out.
They got in the car. Then Lacy started the engine and drove straight to Mi Ke’er’s apartment.
Xia Nuan repressed her excitement and followed Lacy in.
“Auntie Mi Ke’er, where is my father? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
“And, why don’t you allow us to watch TV?”
“Because the signal is broken. Your father is on a business trip and he won’t be back in a couple of days.” Mi Ke’er explained to Wuyou and Nianci patiently while serving meals for them.
A strict inspection was underway on the manor. In order not to affect the three children, Ken sent them to Mi Ke’er and asked her to look after them.
Mi Ke’er was also happy to take care of them. She only hoped that Ye Sichen would win the lawsuit as soon as possible, and she hoped even more that the three children would not be affected by this incident.
“Is that true? Auntie, don’t lie to us cause we are not kids anymore.” Wuyou frowned as he held her hand.
“I didn’t. How can I lie to you?” She said sincerely and touched Wuyou’s head. But when she saw Wuyou’s piercing eyes, which were exactly the same as that of Ye Sichen, she felt a little guilty.
However, what she said was just a white lie.
She thought inwardly.
After she served food for Wuyou and Nianci, she began to brew milk powder for Ansheng. She was too busy to wash her face and rinse her mouth, but she was most willing to do what she was doing.
Now Ye Sichen was in trouble. At this moment, she must share his burdens and cares.
“Children, see who is coming.” Lacy’s gentle voice ringed out in Mi Ke’er’s apartment.
Wuyou and Nianci put down their spoons and followed Lacy’s voice. They saw a woman in black standing behind him. Then the woman took off her sunglasses and walked toward them.
“Mom!”
They said in unison and put down the spoons hastily. Then they ran towards the direction of Lacy in succession.
Xia Nuan stretched her hands and held them in her arms.
They held her face and kissed constantly.
Mi Ke’er took Ansheng out of the bathroom and saw Xia Nuan. She became stern.
When she saw that Lacy was also here, she became dissatisfied even more. Given the children were here, she couldn’t say anything outrageous. Therefore, she could only keep a stiff face.
At first, she thought that it was Ye Sichen’s fans who came to visit the three children. After all, some of Ye Sichen’s fans kept buying foods and toys for them recently. But she didn’t expect that Xia Nuan was here this time.
And it was Lacy who took her here!
“Mom, you are not allowed to leave this time anyway.” Nianci held Xia Nuan’s hand and said continuously.
Xia Nuan kissed Nianci and said, “Well, I won’t leave.”
Wuyou pondered for a moment and then looked at Xia Nuan, “Do you know where dad goes?”
Xia Nuan glanced at Mi Ke’er and said, “He goes on a business trip and will return soon.”
“So, dad was with mom and mom comes back in advance. Is dad still on his way home?” Wuyou asked.
She nodded and said reluctantly, “Yes.”
Wuyou didn’t believe this saying until now.
When Xia Nuan looked at Ansheng, he was smiling at her with his dark eyes. Seeing his sweet dimples and lovely face, Xia Nuan couldn’t help but hold Ansheng in her arms, but Mi Ke’er kept away from her deliberately.
Xia Nuan felt sad.
Ansheng stretched out his hands and throwed himself on Xia Nuan. Seeing that Mi Ke’er forcing him tightly, he kept wriggling. Then she had to put Ansheng in Xia Nuan’s arms and sat on the sofa alone in silence.
Xia Nuan knew that Mi Ke’er didn’t want her to come here, but now she did not have the time to pay attention to Mi Ke’er’s feelings and just wanted to take a good look at Ansheng. She held Ansheng’s face and kissed constantly, “Baby, my sweetheart.”
Ansheng stretched out his little chubby hand and touched her face. She held his hand and put it on her lips.
“Ansheng, I am your mother. Can you still recognize me?” Xia Nuan took Ansheng in her arms and sat down. Wuyou and Nianci drew close to her.
“Mom, Ansheng has grown up. He has new teeth now. Look at it. We can see his two small teeth when he laughs.” Nianci liked talking as much as before while Wuyou sat beside Xia Nuan, holding her hand.
Ansheng chuckled and had two white teeth as Nianci said. Xia Nuan couldn’t help but kiss on his face and he sounded happily in a childishness voice.
Wuyou and Nianci grinned from ear to ear.
Xia Nuan held them in her arms and felt at ease.
Lacy sat beside Mi Ke’er and dragged her into the bathroom while Xia Nuan stayed with the children.
Mi Ke’er managed to get rid of him, but failed in the end because she was not as strong as Lacy.
