Chapter 422: Chapter 421: (3 more updates)

Following the human trafficker’s guidance, Xu Niannian and Jin Yu finally found the location of Yang Cuihua.

Jin Yu sat in the car, watching the two human traffickers to prevent them from causing trouble, with Xu Duoyu also in the car.

Xu Niannian got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.

The hotel clerk was fidgety and anxious at this time, feeling guilty for losing the child under his watch.

But he was also worried about inviting trouble upon himself.

He even dared not wake Yang Cuihua, just wanting to pretend as if he knew nothing.

When Xu Niannian walked in, she happened to see Yang Cuihua lying on the bench, fast asleep and snoring loudly.

Seeing that Yang Cuihua was alright, Xu Niannian’s heart finally settled back into her stomach, while at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated at her mother’s carefreeness.

Fortunately, Xu Duoyu was fine, otherwise her mother would have felt unbearably guilty later on.

The hotel clerk, already restless, suddenly saw such a beautiful woman entering the lobby and his stunned expression completely changed.

He stammered for a good while before asking, "You, hello, are you staying at the hotel?"

Xu Niannian turned her head to look at the man and then at Yang Cuihua asleep on the bench.

Her mother was asleep, but this man wasn’t.

She furrowed her brows, wondering whether this man was in cahoots with the traffickers or had simply not seen anything.

She approached him, pretending not to see Yang Cuihua on the other side, and said indifferently to the lovestruck gaze of the man, "Hello, I want to ask you, have you seen a mother and son? The woman is in her forties, about this tall..."

Xu Niannian gestured to indicate Yang Cuihua’s approximate height, then continued, "The child is six years old, a chubby little boy."

The hotel clerk, hearing this, immediately stiffened—wasn’t this just the mother and son he had seen earlier?

Feeling somewhat guilty, he asked, "What is your relation to them?"

"That’s my mother and brother."

As Xu Niannian spoke, her unwavering gaze drilled into the hotel clerk, who’s guilt was laid bare before her.

Upon hearing this, the hotel clerk’s face fell with gloom.

So, the older woman hadn’t lied to him; she really had come to find her daughter, and it wasn’t a ruse to get free lodging.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have allowed them to sleep in the lobby.

And that little boy wouldn’t have gone missing.

The hotel clerk’s feelings of guilt escalated to new heights.

He pointed shakily to Yang Cuihua on the opposite bench, "The person you are looking for, is that her?"

Xu Niannian pretended to follow the direction of his pointing and then expressed surprise, "That’s my mom."

The hotel clerk, no longer caring about why Xu Niannian was confirming her own mother’s identity rather than excitedly running over to wake her, completely wilted.

The older lady really hadn’t lied.

Xu Niannian kept her eyes on the hotel clerk, seeing his dejected appearance and suspecting that he might have colluded with the traffickers.

Just as she was about to interrogate him, the hotel clerk suddenly said, "Then you should quickly call the police to find your brother, he might have been taken by human traffickers."

"You know?" Xu Niannian asked.

The hotel clerk, helpless and fearing that Xu Niannian might not believe him, explained the whole situation to her in detail.

Hearing this, Xu Niannian finally understood.

This man wasn’t with the traffickers; he just didn’t want to attract trouble.

He had the opportunity to stop it or to help, yet he chose to be indifferent. To be honest, Xu Niannian harbored resentment towards such people.

If she had arrived a moment later, her brother might have been abducted by the traffickers.

Once taken by traffickers, who knows where he could end up being sold.

Yet Xu Niannian also understood that this matter had nothing to do with him.

He had neither the right nor the obligation to watch over her brother for her.

Though she was displeased, she had no right to blame others.

After confirming that he was not in league with the traffickers, Xu Niannian no longer pressed the issue and politely thanked him before turning around to call out to Yang Cuihua.

Yang Cuihua happened to be dreaming when suddenly someone woke her. She was about to lose her temper.

Seeing Xu Niannian, Yang Cuihua paused, rubbing her eyes uncertainly.

"Mom, let’s go home," Xu Niannian said gently.

Finally recognizing that it was her own daughter, Yang Cuihua jolted awake and climbed off the bench.

"Baby Nian?"

"Mom, it’s me." Seeing Yang Cuihua sleeping on the hard bench and her hair in a mess, Xu Niannian felt heartachingly sad.

How uncomfortable the bench must have been.

If she had gone to the station to pick her up earlier, none of this would have happened.

Seeing her own daughter, Yang Cuihua couldn’t stop smiling.

"Oh my girl, how did you find this place?"

Xu Niannian didn’t go into detail, only saying that Xu Zhiqiang had called her.

Yang Cuihua was so happy to see her daughter that she grabbed Xu Niannian and insisted on giving ten times the room rate to the hotel guy.

To flaunt her daughter’s wealth.

The hotel guy didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, no, no need, you should go find your son."

"Son?" Yang Cuihua came to her senses and slapped her thigh, "Ah, where did that little Bunny brat Duoyu run off to?"

Xu Niannian hurriedly said, "Duoyu is in the car."

The hotel guy gave her a look, but Xu Niannian didn’t see it; she led Yang Cuihua out the door.

The matter of paying ten times the room rate, Xu Niannian didn’t mention and didn’t pay either.

Paying ten times the room rate for sleeping on a bench? She wasn’t that generous.

If her mother had been staying in a room, let alone ten times, she would have been willing to pay twenty times.

As soon as Yang Cuihua got in the car, she saw two human traffickers, the sturdy man she didn’t recognize, she never met him before, but that woman she did recognize.

She asked her son-in-law in surprise.

"Xiao Jin, what’s with these two, you caught them?"

Jin Yu called out to ’mom’, then told Yang Cuihua about how Duoyu had almost been taken away by the two people.

Xu Niannian meant to stop him, not wanting Yang Cuihua to worry since the incident was over and Duoyu was safe.

Telling her would only make Yang Cuihua worry and feel more guilty.

Jin Yu understood Xu Niannian’s intention, but he did not follow it.

He felt it was necessary to let his mother-in-law know.

To make her more vigilant and careful when with the children in the future.

When Yang Cuihua heard that Xu Duoyu was almost snatched by traffickers, her face turned white with fear, and she pounced on the two human traffickers, scratching their faces.

"I’ll kill you, these worthless scoundrels, daring to kidnap my son!"

Once Yang Cuihua unleashed her fury, nobody could stop her. The two people were immediately scratched until their faces bled, yelling for ’dad’ and ’mom’, trying to hide everywhere.

Unfortunately, the carriage was only so big, and the doors were locked; there was no escape.

Xu Niannian knew Yang Cuihua needed to let off some steam and did not stop her.

If it weren’t for fear of affecting the baby, she would have wanted to pounce on them and kill them too.

After Yang Cuihua dealt with the two traffickers, although she let off some steam, she wasn’t relieved, rather, she was still scared after the fact.

She often blurted out that she wanted to throw Xu Duoyu to the dogs, but never really intended to do so.

She was partial, but she still cared about her son.

He had almost been kidnapped—how could her heart not ache?

No matter how troublesome the child was, he was still flesh from her own stomach.

Yang Cuihua reached out, wanting to take Xu Duoyu into her arms, her eyes red.

Rarely showing a less fierce expression in front of Xu Duoyu, she pursed her lips and said, "Son, come to mom."

Xu Duoyu responded immediately, "No, I want my sister; you’re the stepmother."

Suddenly, that trace of guilt in Yang Cuihua’s heart evaporated in a second, leaving no trace behind.

"I will beat you to death, you little Bunny brat."

But this time, although Yang Cuihua cursed, she didn’t actually beat Xu Duoyu, instead, her eyes were still red.

Xu Niannian had been in a frantic worry all day, and only now, having finally found Yang Cuihua and Xu Duoyu, was she able to relax.

She could even join in the laughter at Xu Duoyu’s words.

Jin Yu watched the warm scene of the family of three, feeling fortunate that they had arrived in time.

Fortunately, they had chosen the right path.

There were three roads coming from the train station junction, and he had paid two groups of people to search the other two roads.

Thankfully, it was he and Xu Niannian who took this road.

Otherwise, they would have missed them.

If Xu Duoyu had really been kidnapped, he couldn’t imagine how heartbroken his wife would be.

Thinking of this, Jin Yu felt even more repulsed by the traffickers.

Now late at night, there was no one working at the police station.

Not wanting to make a big scene and cause the family to worry, especially Xu Wentian and Gao Lihong, if the two of them knew that their grandson was almost kidnapped by the bad guys, they would inevitably cause an uproar.

Xu Niannian asked Jin Yu to drive to the new house she had bought.

This was a place she bought temporarily for Xu Duoyu and Yang Cuihua to stay, knowing that they would come today, Xu Niannian even had the beds made after buying the house.
