Quadruplets’ Charm: The Tycoon’s Hidden Heirs
Chapter 476 - 475: What If It Really Gets Lost

Chapter 476: Chapter 475: What If It Really Gets Lost

At night, when the quadruplets came back, they even asked her if she had done something with Dad during the day.

Xing Ling gave a few noncommittal answers.

In her heart, she thought, I did way too much!

Trouble was a frequent visitor!

She really wanted to go out to work...

Of course, she could only wish, unable to do anything...

Before going to bed, she received a call from Ye Yuli, "Is Ye Sihan at the Xing Family’s place?"

"He got hurt here a while back and had just settled down."

"I think this is his scheme!"

"What do you mean?"

"How did he get hurt out of the blue? Are you sure it’s not a self-inflicted scheme?"

"It’s not, I was there when it happened. A drunkard fired and hurt someone," Xing Ling said.

"Couldn’t that have been someone he paid off? I’m not being paranoid for no reason, it’s just that my brother’s thoughts have always been quite dangerous," Ye Yuli reminded her.

Xing Ling frowned, unable to accept his suggestion, "You’re thinking too much."

"I hope I am thinking too much. Otherwise, you’re going to get hurt by him again," Ye Yuli worried.

"Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll be careful."

"So, now that he’s injured and staying at the Xing Family’s, you can’t come out?" Ye Yuli asked. "It shouldn’t affect your freedom, right?"

How could Xing Ling tell Ye Yuli that it was because Ye Sihan was injured and not in good health, so she couldn’t leave?

It sounded as if she cared about Ye Sihan.

In reality, it was because he was the quadruplets’ biological father, and she didn’t want the quadruplets to think their mother was heartless and cold.

She decided not to mention it, "No, the backyard at home needs to be redone recently. My older and second brothers are busy, so I have to oversee it."

Ye Yuli fell silent for a long time before asking, "Xiaoyu, you don’t still have feelings for Ye Sihan, do you?"

"What kind of feelings?"

"I’m afraid you’re going soft and will agree to get back with him."

"You’re overthinking it. There’s no chance of that happening."

"With your word, I can rest easy. After all, I don’t want you to get hurt again. What happened before was too awful."

Xing Ling didn’t need his reminder to know what she should and shouldn’t do.

The hurt she suffered, how could she let it happen again!

As for what Ye Yuli mentioned about Ye Sihan’s self-inflicted scheme, she did not take it to heart.

How mentally disturbed would Ye Sihan have to be to let someone shoot at him? And almost lose his life?

After class, the quadruplets sat close together on the edge of the flowerbed, appearing as if they were plotting something important.

Upon listening, it turned out they were worried about their mom and dad’s affairs!

"I asked the maid, mom and dad barely spend any time together."

"No progress at all."

"Dad has been living at the Xing Family’s for a week now, I think, if we don’t do anything, dad could stay for a month and it would still be pointless,"

"What should we do then?" Xibao asked.

"Let’s all share any ideas we have," Junjun said.

"We should create some crisis for dad," Haohao suggested. "Do you guys remember that uncle from last time?"

"I disagree," Zhengzheng said.

"Why?" the others asked.

"Dad will surely lose control. If things get out of hand, it will only make mom angrier," Zhengzheng said.

"Oh, that’s called backfiring," Junjun said.

"Then you give us a suggestion," Haohao said crossly.

"I haven’t thought of a perfect one yet," Zhengzheng said. "How about the three of us fight a life-and-death battle? Mom and dad, wanting us to get along, will definitely reflect, and then mom will go back to Kyoto with dad."

"Get lost!" Junjun and Haohao immediately pounced on him and started fighting.

Watching her three brothers roll together, Xibao’s face was very calm, her tongue licking an ice cream.

She hoped that this time, when they returned to Kyoto for the summer holiday, mom would come with them.

Half a month passed, and during these two weeks of observation, the quadruplets noticed that their parents were still keeping their distance as always.

Summer vacation was about to start, and the four children were very anxious.

Xing Ling, however, was calm, thinking that once the children were on vacation, Ye Sihan would finally be able to leave.

He wouldn’t have any other excuse to keep lingering around here.

During this time, she tried her best to avoid Ye Sihan.

But Ye Sihan always seemed to appear before her.

At first, she could use the excuse of his feeling unwell, but later? There were no excuses left, he just boldly sat beside her.

Fortunately, he didn’t do anything inappropriate.

It seemed he was just simply keeping her company.

One afternoon, just after waking from a nap, Xing Ling received a call from the school, "Ye Xibao is missing."

Xing Ling was so scared that she felt cold in her limbs. After inquiring about the details and learning there was nothing unusual, just that Xibao was nowhere to be seen, she remembered the incident three years ago when Xibao was taken away by Ye Yuli. Could it be Ye Yuli again?

Xing Ling immediately called Ye Yuli.

"No."

"Yuli, don’t lie to me."

"How could I possibly lie to you? I really didn’t go looking for the child," Ye Yuli said.

Xing Ling hurriedly hung up and rushed out of the room, nearly bumping into Ye Sihan who stood at the door.

She didn’t know why Ye Sihan was at her bedroom door, and she didn’t have the mind to ask.

After a moment’s hesitation, she turned to leave.

Ye Sihan grabbed her arm, "What happened?"

"...Nothing happened," Xing Ling said, biting her lip and looking down.

"You might want to look at the color of your face right now," Ye Sihan persisted, scrutinizing her.

"It’s... the school called, saying they can’t find Xibao. I don’t know the situation, I need to go and see now, please let me go..." Xing Ling was panicking inside.

This place was more chaotic than the capital; if she really was lost, what should they do?

She dared not think about the consequences.

Ye Sihan’s expression grew serious, "I’ll go with you. Can you walk?"

Xing Ling nodded.

Ye Sihan then took her hand and they went downstairs.

They got into the car, which headed straight for the school.

On the way, Ye Sihan called the Xing family brothers, asking them to employ their influence here, which would be more convenient.

By the time they reached the school, the Xing family brothers also arrived around the same time.

They found out from the teacher that Ye Xibao, just like other students, had gone to use the restroom after class and hadn’t been seen returning to class.

When asked if Xibao went to the restroom with anyone, they all shook their heads.

They then asked the three sons, who said they hadn’t been with Xibao after class.

In other words, Xibao had gone to the restroom by herself and then disappeared.

The surveillance footage showed Xibao entering the restroom and never coming out.

The restroom had a window with only a child’s footprints on it.

It was guessed that perhaps Xibao had been lured out from there.

Xing Ling immediately objected, "My daughter wouldn’t just climb out of a window because someone talked her into it!"

"But looking at the footprints, it’s clear she left on her own," insisted the school.

A bodyguard squeezed through the crowd at the door, "We’ve found the location tracker watch, it’s on the small hill behind the school."

The watch was, in fact, worn on Xibao’s wrist.

Everyone moved to the back of the school and began a widespread search for Xibao’s whereabouts.

But by this time, Xibao had already run far away.

However, as she walked, she became lost.

Fearfully standing among the mountains, she looked around bewilderedly.
