“The kids have always been staying with me.” Ning Ran retorted immediately.
“From this incident, it’s obvious that you can’t even protect the kids. Do you want something bad to happen to them again?” Nan Chen looked at her coldly.
Ning Ran couldn’t find any words to reply.
“You mean, everything was my fault?” Ning Ran said.
“I didn’t say everything was your fault, but this incident indeed proved that you were not capable enough of looking after the kids. Children of the Nan family are different from the other kids. Everything they do will be observed and judged. If they continue staying in that low-class estate, it is easy for them to get attacked any time!” Nan Chen and Ning Ran started arguing at the dinner table.
Dabao and Erbao looked silently at each other.
“Your girlfriend was the one who caused it, not me! Furthermore, the kids were not kidnapped at my house. You can’t put all the blame on me!” Ning Ran raised her voice.
“This is not a matter of who caused it. The topic of discussion now is the safety of the children. It is safer for them to stay at the Nan family. We can’t afford to take any risks!” Nan Chen was already losing his patience. He thought that Ning Ran was selfish and possessive, without any regard for the children’s safety.
Ning Ran felt wronged, although indeed, she did not want to lose the rights of the kids to the Nan family.
But the kids were her flesh and blood. Was it wrong for a mother to want to be with her children? A mother did not want to lose her children because she loves them, how can that be called being selfish?
Suddenly, tears welled up in Ning Ran’s eyes.
Ning Ran was not an emotional person, but she just felt like crying at that instant. She just felt so wronged and she was no longer able to control her feelings.
“Mom……” Erbao was shocked. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Ran.
“I am not staying at the Nan family!” Dabao, who was quiet until now, spoke up, expressing support for Ning Ran.
“I am not staying too! I will be with mom!” Erbao followed.
The kids thought that Ning Ran cried because she worried about them staying at the Nan family.
No matter how intelligent the children were, it was still difficult for them to grasp the actual reasons for the adults’ arguments.
Ning Ran’s tears stunned Nan Chen.
He did not think that he had said anything that hurt Ning Ran. Everything he expressed was merely facts and he was only thinking for the children’s safety.
Nan Chen was very well aware that he would not get lucky every time, to be able to have the children back.
“Mom, don’t cry. Dad! You are bullying mom.” Zheng Lunlun was upset with Nan Chen.
“Don’t join in the fight.” Nan Xing gave Zheng Lunlun a look and hoped that he would stop.
“Dad is bad!” Zheng Lunlun continued to give Nan Chen his angry stare.
“My dear Lunlun, please don’t make things worse!” Nan Xing was unable to stop Lunlun.
“Nan Xing, you are their father. What do you think?” Nan Chen gave Nan Xing a cold stare.
“Errrrrrrm……I……” Nan Xing looked from Nan Chen to Ning Ran and felt torn.
If he was honest with himself, he naturally hoped that the kids stayed at the Nan family.
But looking at the tearful Ning Ran, he couldn’t bear to say that.
Nan Xing thought that if he expressed support for Nan Chen’s idea, it would be two men ganging up against one lady.
“Do you wish to put your children at risk of being in danger again?” Nan Chen asked Nan Xing sharply.
“Of course I don’t wish for that to happen. Ning Ran, would you like to consider……”
“F*** you! Over my dead body!” Ning Ran cut him off before Nan Xing could finish his sentence.
Initially, she only felt wronged. But after Nan Xing joined in the conversation, she felt that the two men from the Nan family were ganging up to pressurize her.
Initially, she felt wronged; but now, she was exasperated.
“I gave birth to the kids and I raised them. Where were you people from the Nan family during all those times? Have you contributed a single penny or even anything? Now that the children are all grown up, you are here to take them away from me? Just because the Nan family is so wealthy, do you think you can bully a weak woman like me? Shame on you!” Ning Ran yelled.
Nan Xing mumbled gibberish under his breath.
Nan Chen felt awkward and took a deep breath. He didn’t expect Ning Ran to spout vulgarities. It seemed that the conversation had to stop here.
“Let’s meet at court then. Let the judge decide who shall have the rights of the kids.” Nan Chen stood up.
Ning Ran stared at Nan Chen angrily, but did not utter a single word.
The Nan Family was one of the most prosperous families in the Flower City. Ning Ran was well aware that if they had to go to court, she had no chances of winning.
Poker face Nan Chen was threatening her.
“The kids are mine. You do not have any decision rights on this matter.” Ning Ran persisted.
These words had some effects on Nan Chen. He was merely their uncle. The children’s dad, Nan Xing, had not even said anything yet. Indeed, it seemed like he was meddling in another family’s affairs.
Nan Chen gave Nan Xing a hard stare and stopped talking. He instructed Zheng Lunlun to leave with him.
“Dad is a bad guy! I am not leaving!” Zheng Lunlun was pitting himself against Nan Chen.
Nan Chen looked even more uncomfortable. Why was it that everyone was against him?
Although he needed to settle some business matters, the other reason he decided to leave with Zheng Lunlun in the evening was so that he could get medical attention at once.
“We have to go back to see the doctors!” Nan Chen said to Zheng Lunlun coldly.
“You are so bad! You are mean to mom!” Zheng Lunlun continued to give Nan Chen the angry stare.
“Let’s go!” Nan Chen dragged Zheng Lunlun away from his seat.
Zheng Lunlun was usually afraid of Nan Chen and never dared to retort.
However, things were not the same now. Because of the brain damage Zheng Lunlun suffered, his intellectual abilities were regressed to that of a young child’s.
As such, as Nan Chen tried to drag him away, he held on tightly to the back of the chair and refused to move.
This scene that was unfolding was unsettling to the restaurant server. This group of unbelievably gorgeous looking people was fighting with each other?!
Nan Chen felt like he was going mad. This was so embarrassing!
“Ok! Do whatever you want!” Nan Chen, who was in a bad mood, finally let go of Zheng Lunlun.
He had meant well, but look at what he got in return!
“Hmpf!” Zheng Lunlun exclaimed.
Ning Ran immediately gave Nan Xing a look, urging him to appease the situation.
Ning Ran knew that Nan Chen was going to bring Zheng Lunlun to treat his brain condition.
She was also hoping that Nan Chen could take Zheng Lunlun back, so that he could seek medical attention as soon as possible.
However, it wasn’t her place to comment on that. So she could only trust Nan Xing to take on the task.
But Nan Xing could not understand what Ning Ran was trying to communicate to him as she had just hurled vulgarities at him a moment ago.
“Brother, you should hurry on and leave. We will take Lunlun back.” Nan Xing had completely misinterpreted Ning Ran’s “look”.
Ning Ran felt like she was going to explode at that moment. What an idiot!!!
“Are you asking him to stay because you are going to find him a doctor?” Ning Ran questioned Nan Xing.
“I……didn’t brother already made the medical arrangements?” Nan Xing was confused.
“Then why are you asking him to stay???” Ning Ran yelled.
Only then Nan Xing realized that was what Ning Ran was trying to mean.
“Lunlun, leave quickly with uncle. Uncle will bring you to the doctor’s!” Nan Xing tried to persuade Zheng Lunlun.
“Hmpf! you are a fake dad!” Zheng Lunlun refused to budge.
Nan Xing was at a loss now. He was the fake dad, and Nan Chen was the bad dad. Both of them could not be trusted.
You see, not that I didn’t try, but I’m unable to do it, your highness! Nan Xing looked pleadingly at Ning Ran.
Looks like I have to do this myself! Ning Ran stood up and walked over.
