The Villain’s Mother-Chapter 287: Without mental toughness, who could bear those experiences? (1)
Chapter 287 – Without mental toughness, who could bear those experiences? (1)
Little Wang’s matter was concluded and with a satisfactory explanation. The police were relieved. After all, it was devastating for a family to lose a child. They didn’t want to see tragedy. In contrast, Little Wang’s reappearance didn’t put Father Ruan and Mother Ruan’s minds at rest. They blamed themselves for a long time. In the span of a night, they had aged a lot. They were fortunate that Little Wang had been found, but what if he hadn’t?
There was an incident reported like that in the news. A child had gotten lost. The child’s grandma couldn’t stand it and deliberately jumped into a river in self-blame.
Recalling that piece of news, Mother Ruan felt that she couldn’t bear to live either if Little Wang was lost forever.
It was only Ruan Xia that had doubts about Little Wang and Song Tingshen’s explanation. She said to Song Tingshen, “Which one of your friends is that unreliable that he would take a child away without saying anything? Could it be that he doesn’t know we would be worried? Tell me, let me know which friend it is. I want to give him a call and scold him to relieve my anger. Isn’t he deliberately trying to scare us?”
Song Tingshen knew it wouldn’t be easy to fool Ruan Xia with their lie. He said without changing his expression, “He called me, but I missed his call. Let it go. I’ll talk to that friend less in the future.”
Ruan Xia thought it over. Her expression changed. “Maybe your friend has malicious intentions. Don’t look at me that way. A person that will take a child away without getting the parent’s consent isn’t a good person! If something really happened to my son, I’ll never let your friend off!”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Song Tingshen paused and added, “I’ll resolve this matter. Don’t worry about it.”
Ruan Xia glared at him. She felt that Song Tingshen was too easygoing about this matter. This was a big deal, and he was actually downplaying it. How could he be so calm no matter what he encountered?
“How can I not worry? Little Wang is still young. He has no danger awareness. Song Tingshen, go look at the news. Many times the culprits were acquaintances of the victim. It’s not always total strangers. I’m so angry. Tell me your friend’s number. I insist on calling him and giving him a piece of mind. You should tell the police about him too, so that they’ll take him down to the police station and educate him. Little Wang isn’t his child. How could he take him away without a word?! Even if I want to sue him, I’m in my rights!”
Little Wang was eavesdropping on the side and playing with his toys. This was his first time seeing his mom so angry. He couldn’t help but tremble for a moment.
Song Tingshen quickly hugged her and coaxed, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. Don’t be so angry. Little Wang is here with us now. Shouldn’t our top priority be to educate him?”
Seeing that his heartless father was pushing the blame onto him, Little Wang hastily dropped his toy and lied down on the sofa. “Mom, I’m tired.”
Ruan Xia hastily picked up Little Wang and warmly coaxed him, “Okay, go to sleep when you’re sleepy.” The tone she used when speaking to Little Wang was completely different from the one she used with Song Tingshen.
Song Tingshen touched his nose and sighed. Sure enough, once a woman had a child, her husband was tossed to the end of the line. The husband shouldn’t even think about competing for favor. There was no way to win no matter how he competed.
Although Little Wang wasn’t sleepy to start with, once he was tucked in, it didn’t take him long to fall asleep once he closed his eyes.
