My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

That night, Le Bao fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

After being hit by their mother, the brother and sister cried for a long time.

In the end, the two brothers, Lu Chenyue and Lu Feng, each took one of the two children away.

Even after being hit, Le Bao still wants her mother to hug her.

Shen Wanning also felt sorry for the little one and gently comforted him while holding him.

"Mommy didn't mean to hit you, baby. You're too young, it would be dangerous for you to go out. Mommy, Daddy, and the rest of the family would worry about you. Remember what Mommy said, okay?"

"I've got it, boohoo."

The little one sobbed, his tiny hands clutching Shen Wanning's clothes tightly.

"Give it to me."

Lu Chenyue was worried that she would get tired from holding him, so he wanted to take him from her.

"Need not."

Shen Wanning sat on the bed holding Le Bao, and only gently placed her on the bed after she fell asleep.

Taking the hot towel from Lu Chenyue, Shen Wanning wiped away the tears on Le Bao's face.

"The little guy is probably really sad tonight."

Of course! She was hit by her beloved mother, and no one came to her aid.

Shen Wanning knew this too, and lovingly stroked Le Bao's cheek.

That night, the little one was still sobbing in his sleep, and Lu Chenyue, heartbroken, didn't sleep well all night.

The next day was Monday, and everyone who was going to school or work got up early, except for the two little ones who were still being carried down.

After dropping their two children off at school as usual, Shen Wanning and Lu Chenyue returned to their respective companies.

Shen Wanning pushed open the office door and vaguely heard conversations next door, mixed with sobs.

Following the sound, they found Gu Nansheng and Lin Zhixia.

"Xiaxia, what's wrong?"

Shen Wanning put down her bag and sat down next to Lin Zhixia.

"Ningning, I really have no home anymore."

Lin Zhixia hugged Shen Wanning and burst into tears.

"No rush, take your time, I'm here."

Shen Wanning patted her back and gently comforted her.

"My parents had a big fight, and now my dad has moved out. He and my mom have both started new families outside, and they've kept it all a secret from me."

The incident started when Lin's father's current wife went to look for him downstairs at the Lin family's company and was spotted by Lin's mother. The two then had a heated argument in the office.

Lin's mother accused Lin's father of breaking the rules, saying that they had agreed to stay together even after the divorce, and to maintain a good image as a couple in front of outsiders to stabilize the company's stock price.

But when Lin's father's current wife appeared downstairs at the company, the agreement was broken.

The two argued all the way from the company to their home, revealing each other's secrets.

Little did they know that Lin Zhixia, who was standing outside the door, had heard everything they said clearly.

It turns out that her parents had both remarried long ago. Her father had another son, and her mother had a younger sister with her current husband.

Now that their relationship can no longer be concealed, they are thinking of going home separately.

Instead of pushing Lin Zhixia around, they were all vying for her.

When Lin Zhixia heard this news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She stood at the doorway, her body limp, too weak to even stand.

She always believed that even though her parents were divorced, they were still the ones who loved her the most.

But reality dealt her a heavy blow.

In the end, she was the one who was superfluous.

The room was still noisy, even accompanied by cracking sounds.

Lin Zhixia didn't know how she left home or how she got back to her apartment.

She sat on the sofa in the living room all night, not even answering Xiao Nanfeng's calls.

Looking at the phone vibrating wildly on the coffee table, Lin Zhixia ultimately didn't answer it.

She simply sent him a message saying she was too tired today and wanted to rest early.

After putting down her phone, she hugged her knees, her eyes fixed on the screen.

She was still hoping for something—hoping her parents would come looking for her.

But she waited all night and didn't receive a call from either of them.

And so, Lin Zhixia drove to the company in a daze, almost getting into a car accident on the way.

At this moment, her eyes were dark, and she was still wearing yesterday's clothes, without even removing her makeup.

When Gu Nansheng saw her like this, he was shocked.

"It's okay, Xiaxia, you still have me. I'll always be here for you."

Seeing her best friend like this, Shen Wanning felt heartbroken and burst into tears.

"Waaaaah"

Just then, her phone vibrated in her bag.

She held Lin Zhixia in one arm and took out her phone with the other.

The caller was Xiao Nanfeng.

"Hey, sister-in-law, has Xiaxia gone to the company?"

Xiao Nanfeng's voice sounded urgent on the phone.

"Yes, it's here."

Xiao Nanfeng rushed back this morning.

He called Lin Zhixia many times last night, but she didn't answer.

Although he received her message, based on his understanding of Lin Zhixia, he knew something must have happened to her.

She had initially thought of calling Shen Wanning, but then she realized that given Lin Zhixia's personality, she would definitely keep something from those around her and deal with it on her own.

So he booked the earliest flight, the one in the early morning.

People who care about you will notice something is wrong with your words and actions.

After getting off the plane, I went straight to Lin Zhixia's apartment, but the security guard said that Miss Lin had gone out very early today.

That's why she thought of calling Shen Wanning.

Is she...with you?

He used the morning to find out about the Lin family.

The matter has now escalated, and news that the Lin couple had already divorced, remarried, and had children has spread to a small circle.

He felt sorry for her and blamed himself for not being there for her when she was most helpless.

"Yes, I'll stay with her."

Gu Nansheng tactfully left, leaving the space to her two good friends.

"May I go see her?"

His tone was full of caution.

Shen Wanning did not reply directly, but instead looked at the person lying in her arms.

Lin Zhixia naturally heard Xiao Nanfeng's words through the receiver.

However, she didn't want to see anyone right now.

Seeing that Lin Zhixia remained silent, Shen Wanning knew her answer.

"She probably doesn't want to see anyone right now. Don't worry, I'll stay with her."

Xiao Nanfeng had also guessed this outcome, and his expression was somewhat dejected.

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of her, sister-in-law. Please call me if she needs anything."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Nanfeng went to Lu Chenyue's company.

Seeing his unkempt appearance, Lu Chenyue said:

"The Xiao family went bankrupt?"

Xiao Nanfeng, unusually, did not argue with him.

The expected confrontation did not occur. Lu Chenyue stopped writing and looked up at him.

Something's not right!

"What happened?"

Lu Chenyue stood up from his chair and walked to Xiao Nanfeng.

"Brother Yue, something happened to her. I want to help her, but she doesn't want to see me."

Xiao Nanfeng was completely dejected, as if he had been drained of all his energy, and had no strength left.

Lu Chenyue was stunned for a moment, then guessed that he was referring to Lin Zhixia.

He didn't say anything, but simply sent Jiang Lin a message asking him to make a cup of coffee and come in.

Judging from his appearance, he must have rushed back overnight.

The couple tacitly comforted their friend today.
