Chapter 288: 287 Conquer the heart_2"You could say that," Luo Yuzhu replied, quite confident that Xiaofeng was on her side: "Xiaofeng, think about it: if I become successful in the future, I can be your support. Have you thought about how much I could help you? Moreover, you’re already over five months pregnant, and in a few months, you’ll give birth. You’ve always had trouble with Fat Lady, do you trust her to seriously take care of you during your confinement? Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll be there to take care of you."
Xiaofeng listened as she rambled on, and her lips twitched again: "Aunt Mei is very skilled at taking care of people; she will take good care of me."
"She is old after all, not like a mother," Luo Yuzhu couldn’t help but paint herself in the best light.
"I can help," Xiaofeng’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked down at the water cup in her hands: "Tonight, my father called and said my brother has disappeared. You know, my brother is not smart, and now that he’s gone missing, I’m really worried. If you can help me find my brother, I’ll agree with your plan."
Until Luo Yuzhu mentioned Su Peng, Xiaofeng had to speak up first, to make sure whether it was Luo Yuzhu who had people take her brother away, or someone else took him.
...
He Ximei and the others
"He shouldn’t even think about it." He Ximei shuddered at the thought.
"But he has thought about it, and not only that, but he has also taken Pengzi away. Sister-in-law, Pengzi was literally bought with your own life. If Pengzi really wants to spend his life with his real father, what can you do?" Ma Donghua thought she had seen right through the situation.
This matter was indeed very simple, not complicated at all.
"Sister-in-law, talking about this is premature. The urgent matter is to find people first, finding Pengzi is what’s truly important," Su Wenqing said, looking at the clearly upset He Ximei, interrupting Ma Donghua’s speculations.
"Speculation or not, Pengzi must have gone with his real dad. You don’t even have to guess; you can figure it out just with your toes."
He Ximei didn’t want to listen anymore and walked towards the next house to knock on the door.
As they asked around, everyone said they didn’t know where Zhang Dacai had gone, nor had they seen Su Peng.
...
Luo Yuzhu listened as Xiaofeng brought up Su Peng, a slight smile forming on her face.
It seems her arrangement to have Su Peng taken away had worked, as Xiaofeng was now turning to her for help.
But she would never admit that she was behind it; if Xiaofeng knew that she had taken the person away, what would Xiaofeng think of her?
Who knows what mess it could lead to.
"Your older brother disappeared?" Luo Yuzhu feigned surprise. "Where did he disappear, in the city or in the countryside?"
"He was working in the fields of Lihua Village, and when he didn’t come back for half a day, my parents went out looking for him and realized he was gone."
Listening to her mention of her parents, Luo Yuzhu realized that from the moment she entered, Xiaofeng hadn’t addressed her as ’mom’ even once.
