CHAPTER 325: CHAPTER 325: USING THE CHILDREN TO TRAP HER

Ningwan was shocked, not expecting her mother to call her by her childhood name.

"You... you remembered everything?"

"No, I just remembered a part, but you are my daughter, I remembered that. Ningning, I’m sorry, I forgot you." Tang Xiaowan apologized with a choked voice.

Ningwan shook her head, "It’s okay, it’s not your fault, Mom. Thank you for still being alive, and thank you for letting me see you again."

"Wanwan, let’s leave here first. I’m afraid Wan Yufeng will catch up soon. It’s not safe to stay here long," Zhan Hanjue reminded.

Ningwan nodded and immediately let go of her mother, getting into the car with her.

However, Xie Mingyu was displeasured and said, "I was the one who came to rescue you and got you out. How can you go with him? If you’re leaving, it’s with me in my car."

"Xie Mingyu, thank you," Zhan Hanjue suddenly expressed gratitude.

Xie Mingyu was stunned!

After all, from the moment they met, they had always been at odds. Every meeting involved a verbal spat, and they had never spoken kindly to each other.

Zhan Hanjue suddenly thanking him was indeed surprising.

"Young Master, let’s get in the car," Shangxue softly reminded.

Xie Mingyu came back to his senses, with a strange expression, he got in the car with Shangxue.

However, they hadn’t left Philadelphia yet when Wan Yufeng caught up with them.

"Ningwan, you’re free to leave, but your mother cannot," Wan Yufeng said coldly.

Tang Xiaowan shivered slightly.

Ningwan grabbed her mother’s hand, letting her sit in the car while she got out.

"Wan Yufeng, you destroyed my family and imprisoned my mother. What right do you have to stop her from leaving?"

"Let your mother come out. I want to talk to her," Wan Yufeng said.

Ningwan sneered coldly, "She doesn’t want to see you, and she doesn’t want to see you for the rest of her life."

"Whether she wants to see me is for her to say," Wan Yufeng insisted firmly.

But Ningwan also had a stern face, refusing to give an inch, and both sides reached a stalemate.

Finally, Tang Xiaowan came out and pushed the car door open.

"Wan Yufeng, let us leave,"

"Xiaowan, do you really want to leave me, ignoring the years of affection between us?" Wan Yufeng asked sadly.

When speaking of marital affection, Tang Xiaowan was in agony.

"I have a husband and children. I don’t know what happened in between, nor do I want to know. But you are not my husband."

"We’ve been supporting each other for over a decade and have two children together. You’re saying we’re not a couple?"

Wan Yufeng called down Wan Tianning and Wan Tianci.

The two children got out of the car, tears in their eyes as they looked at Tang Xiaowan.

Especially Wan Tianci, who was still young, although a bit arrogant and domineering, was still just a six-year-old child.

Probably Wan Yufeng told him that their mother did not plan to take them with her, so upon seeing Tang Xiaowan, he burst into tears and cried, "Mommy, don’t you want me anymore? You used to love Tianci the most, but do you not want Tianci anymore?"

Tang Xiaowan covered her mouth crying, Ye Ningwan was her child, but Tianning and Tianci were also her children.

How could she bear not to want them?

"Of course not, how could Mommy not want you? Come over here, come to Mommy."

Listening to Mommy saying she wouldn’t abandon him, Wan Tianci was overjoyed and was about to run over.

However, he was pulled back by Wan Tianning.

"Don’t go over, she wants to leave Dad. If you go over, you’ll have to leave Dad too. Do you only want Mommy and not Dad?" Wan Tianning asked angrily.

Indeed, being a bit older made one understand more.

She knew very well that now was the time for Mom and Dad to split, and choosing one meant giving up the other.

Obviously, she preferred staying by Wan Yufeng’s side.

With her reminder, Wan Tianci hesitated too, pouting and unsure of what to do.

Ningwan frowned deeply, she had long known that it would come to this.

No matter what, her mother was unable to make a decision.

The flesh of the palm and back of the hand is equally cherished, and besides, these two pieces of flesh are younger and seem to need a mother’s care more.

If this stalemate continued any longer,

her mother, whether willing or not, would have to return to Wan Yufeng because of the children.

Then what would she be?

What about her father?

Would her father die in vain?

Should her family be torn apart like this?

"Call the police," Ningwan said in a low voice to Zhan Hanjue, "Even though I really don’t want it to come to this, there’s no other choice."

"Are you sure?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ningwan said, "Yes, no matter if my mother blames me, this is the only way."

Actually, when she had just been rescued, Xie Mingyu also suggested calling the police, but she had stopped him.

Until Zhan Hanjue came, and she saw her mother, she was still hesitant about reporting to the police.

Even though calling the police was the best choice, she didn’t want to be the one to do it.

If one day her mother regrets it, she doesn’t want this incident to become a barrier between mother and daughter.

But now, she had no better way.

Perhaps, Zhan Hanjue was long prepared.

Soon, he made the call to the police, and the officers arrived.

But how could Wan Yufeng easily admit to kidnapping and imprisoning anyone?

"Director Chen, we’ve known each other for years, don’t you know what kind of person I am? This is just a family matter, just some children fooling around. Xiaowan, come here! It’s fine if the children are making trouble, but you can’t follow along," Wan Yufeng, like a good old man, first explained to the director and then spoke warmly to Tang Xiaowan.

However, since Zhan Hanjue dared to call the police, he was fully prepared.

Director Chen didn’t listen to Wan Yufeng’s explanation at all and directly had him taken away.

Wan Yufeng was dumbfounded.

"I want to see my lawyer."

"Mr. Wan, please come with us first and then you can see your lawyer."

With a serious face, Wan Yufeng had no choice but to leave with the police.

Nonetheless, as he was leaving, he glanced at Wan Tianning and instructed her, "Take care of your brother, and don’t hold a grudge against your mom."

Ningwan’s face turned livid with anger.

This man was truly malicious. If he hadn’t mentioned this, perhaps Wan Tianning wouldn’t think his arrest had anything to do with her mother.

Yet, he deliberately pointed it out, making Wan Tianning believe it was her mother who caused his arrest.

Sure enough, after he was taken away, Wan Tianning screamed at Tang Xiaowan, "Why did you do this? In your eyes, are Dad and my brother and I not worth as much as this woman? You even sent Dad to jail for her, I hate you, I hate you."

"Tianning, it’s not like that," Tang Xiaowan explained.

But Wan Tianning didn’t listen at all.

All she knew was that because of Mommy, Dad got taken away.

Their family broke apart because of Mommy and some unknown woman.

She immediately grabbed Wan Tianci’s hand, not wanting to stay here a moment longer, telling the driver to take them home.

Tang Xiaowan chased for a couple of steps but couldn’t stop them, and the car drove away.

At this moment, she was no longer willing to leave with Ningwan and got in the car immediately, telling the driver to chase after the siblings.
