185 019 Xiao bin being picked up
When Lin Li drove to the kindergarten, the school had just ended. The parents at the school gate led their children out, holding hands as they prepared to go home, chatting and laughing.
Lin Li parked the car to the side. When she got out of the car, she saw teacher Chen standing at the door and talking to a mother. Lin Li looked around but didn’t see the little guy beside her.
After closing the car door, she went straight to teacher Chen. When Lin Li walked to teacher Chen’s side, the mother with the child had also spoken to teacher Chen and left happily with the child. Before she left, the little girl she was holding her hand even waved goodbye to teacher Chen obediently.
Teacher Chen also waved to the child. When she put down her hand, she saw Lin Li walking towards her. She was stunned at first, then she walked over to her and asked Lin Li with doubt, ” why is Mrs. Zhou here? ”
Lin Li was stunned by her question and smiled. “I’m here to pick up Xiao bin from school.” As he spoke, he looked around, but he still didn’t see the little guy. He asked, ” “Teacher Chen, where’s Xiaobin? Why don’t I see him?”
Teacher Chen looked at her strangely and said, ” “Xiao bin was picked up by his mother in the afternoon. Mrs. Zhou, don’t you know?”
“Her mother took her away!” Lin Li’s eyes widened in surprise. She looked at teacher Chen and asked, ” “Are you sure?”
Ms. Chen nodded and told the truth, ” Xiao bin’s mother came to pick him up a few times before, so we know each other. In the afternoon, Xiao bin’s mother came over and said that she wanted to bring Xiao bin back to his grandmother to celebrate her grandmother’s birthday, so she picked him up before lunch. Mrs. Zhou, don’t you know? ”
Lin Li shook her head. I don’t know. When Ling LAN left in the morning, her face was still filled with anger. Why did she come to pick up the child in the afternoon?
“How could it be like this!” Teacher Chen didn’t expect this at all, but she thought that this was Xiaobin’s biological mother and not anyone else. She wouldn’t do anything to harm the child, so she said, ” “Uh, that, that Mrs. Zhou, why don’t you give her a call first?”
Lin Li glanced at her, then reached into her pocket and took out her phone. She called Zhou han directly, but the phone rang a few times without anyone picking up. Lin Li then remembered that he seemed to have a small meeting with various departments later, so she guessed that he might have left his phone in the office. As she thought about it, she immediately called Special Assistant Xu.
Special Assistant Xu’s call was picked up very quickly. She was really in a meeting. Special Assistant Xu’s voice was very low on the other end of the phone. Hello, Secretary Lin? ”
“Assistant Xu, are you in a meeting right now?” Lin Li asked directly.
“Yup,”
is Zhou han with you? please pass him the phone. I have something urgent to look for him. Lin Li said a little anxiously.
“Uh,” Although Special Assistant Xu was a little confused, he could tell from her tone that she really had an urgent matter to attend to. He did not ask further and nodded. “Oh, Okay, okay.”
The call was quickly passed to Zhou han, and a low voice came from the other side of the phone. Hello? ”
Upon hearing his voice, Lin Li quickly asked, ” Zhou han, Ms. Chen said that Xiao bin was taken away by her mother. Do you know about this? ”
Zhou han didn’t speak for a while on the other end of the phone, making people wonder if he was listening or if he heard what she said clearly.
After waiting for Zhou Han’s reply for a long time, Lin Li tried to call him softly. Zhou han? ”
After a long while, when Lin Li was still struggling to decide whether she should repeat what she had just said, his low and unchanging voice came from the other side of the phone. He said, ” I understand. ” It was only these four words. After he finished speaking, he hung up. The only thing that echoed in Lin Li’s ears was the busy tone.
Lin Li stared at the phone number in a daze for a while. She muttered in her heart, does he know that the child was taken away by his mother or not?
Teacher Chen, who was standing at the side, saw that she had hung up the phone and quickly asked, ” “What do you mean? was the child taken away by his mother?” His tone was a little anxious, and his expression was full of worry.
In fact, it was no wonder that teacher Chen was so worried. After all, the child had been studying in their kindergarten, and she was the child’s form teacher. If anything happened to the child, she, as a kindergarten teacher, could not bear the responsibility. Moreover, it was the child’s mother who picked up the child at noon. She had been here a few times before, so she recognized her.
Lin Li glanced at her and thought about Zhou Han’s calm tone. This child must really be with Ling LAN. With this thought in mind, she nodded at teacher Chen. yes, he should be.
Seeing her nod, Ms. Chen smiled and said, ” that’s good, that’s good. Nothing will happen to the child if he’s with his mother. Mrs. Zhou, don’t worry too much.
Lin Li only smiled in response and didn’t say anything more. She said goodbye to teacher Chen and turned to walk towards the car parked across the street.
She didn’t drive home directly. Lin Li drove the car back to the company again. When she came out of the elevator, the meeting between the few department heads and Zhou han in the conference room had just ended at this time. The door of the conference room was opened, and Zhou han was the first to come out with a folder. He didn’t see her and directly entered his office next to the conference room.
The other people followed him out of the meeting room one after another. They were still discussing the contents of the meeting with their heads lowered. When they walked to the elevator and Saw Her Standing There, they just nodded and casually greeted her. Then, they entered the elevator one after another. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
After all those people had left, Lin Li didn’t even put down the bag in her hand. She directly carried her bag and pushed open the door of Zhou Han’s office.
Hearing the movement, Zhou han just raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued to read the documents in his hand.
“Is Xiao bin at his mother’s?” He didn’t make it clear on the phone, so Lin Li was still a little worried.
“Yes.” Zhou han only responded and continued to look at the document in his hand. Actually, he had called Ling LAN right after he hung up. The child was indeed with her, but it wasn’t that she missed the child or anything. Ling LAN just wanted to use the child to threaten him. Just like what she had said in the office this morning, she said that if he didn’t help her, she would take the child away.
“Why?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou han raised his head and saw Lin Li standing there, looking straight at him. The expression on her face was one of confusion.
He put down the document in his hand and looked at her. Zhou han asked, ” she’s the child’s mother. Is there a problem with her coming to pick up the child? ”
Lin Li was at a loss for words. Ling LAN was Xiao bin’s mother. It wasn’t a problem or inappropriate for her to take the child away. However, she was still a little worried. She thought of the day when the nurse had given the child an injection. She thought of how he had shook his head and said that his mother had given him more pain when she had asked him if it had hurt!
Her heart ached for the child. She was afraid that he would be like this again when he returned to his mother’s side! She was a little scared when she thought about it. She looked at Zhou han and said with some emotions and excitement, ” “Ling LAN will abuse children! She’ll stab Xiao bin with a needle.”
Zhou han only glanced at her and didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and continued to look at the document in his hand. He took a pen and drew circles on it.
Lin Li was a little anxious. She put her hands on the table and looked at him. She said a little quickly, ” “Did you hear what I said? she will really hit the child! Are you really the Father of the child? how can you not care about your own son at all?”
“Pa! Clang clang” Zhou han fiercely slammed the document in his hand on the table and stared at Lin Li. His face was filled with anger.
As she was not prepared, she was shocked by his sudden situation. She looked at him in a daze, her heart thumping. what, what are you doing? ” It was too sudden, and Lin Li still had some lingering fear as she looked at him.
Zhou han stood up and placed his hands on the table. He looked into her eyes and said, ” Lin Li, you’d better be clear. I’ve worked with you more than marriage. It’s clearly written in the contract that I’m asking you to pick up our child from work to work. You and I both know that this marriage is more like a cooperation than a marriage. We’re not husband and wife, just business partners. Since it’s a cooperation, it’s the same as work. Since it’s work, please don’t bring your personal feelings into work. Don’t force your thoughts on me. My child will be picked up by whoever I hand it to. You don’t need to care about this. Whether Ling LAN aborted the child or not is none of your business. Please know your place!” Zhou Han’s tone was very heavy, and his expression was too scary.
you ... Lin Li looked at him, her face flushed red. She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak for a while.
Zhou han ignored the awkwardness on her face and sat back in his seat. He took the document that he had just slapped on the table. Without looking at her, he said coldly, ” “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
“Hehe.” Lin Li laughed coldly. Her voice was so cold that it could freeze everything around her. I was being a busybody. I’m really sorry. I’ll know my place in the future! With that, he turned around and left.
Watching her turn around and leave, hearing her slam the door shut, Zhou han leaned back on the Leather Swivel Chair, looking up and closing his eyes.
He was very frustrated. He knew that the child wouldn’t suffer after Ling LAN brought him back. He knew that Ling LAN would hit and scold the child. He also knew that she had used needles to prick the child. Just now, he had wanted to go over to Ling Lan’s place to bring the child back, but his heart was filled with a d * mned annoyance. He couldn’t forget the test report that he had received back then! He knew that the child was innocent, but he could not ignore it.
“Damn it!” Zhou han cursed in a low voice and threw the documents on the table onto the ground in frustration. He stared at the papers on the ground and grabbed the car keys on the table. He took the coat that was placed on the sofa in the reception area and rushed out of the office like the wind.
