After rebirth, she took Zaizai to flirt with her ex

Chapter 23 Missing
After hearing his grandson's promise, Cheng Jiacheng felt sweet in his heart. When he looked at the old guys who wanted to steal his grandson from him, he looked very proud.

"I know you are all jealous that I have such a lovely grandson. If you want a grandson, just have one yourself."

What's there to be proud of? He said it as if he was the only one who had grandchildren and they didn't.

The others thought sourly, and Old Li, who was very close to Cheng Jiacheng, chuckled.

"By the way, why don't you see the child's mother?"

He had heard that Lao Cheng had recently recognized his grandson, and it was only now that he thought that the mother and son seemed to be a bit shameful as the mother of the child.

He also felt that this rumor had some truth. The evidence was that the woman did not appear on such a big occasion tonight.

The others quickly understood Lao Li's intention to see Cheng Jiacheng make a fool of himself, and Dadi agreed without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter if Shishi and the others don't come on this big day, why doesn't your wife come either?"

"Yes, we haven't met your wife yet. If we meet her on the road in the future, it would be boring if we don't know her."

"Your grandson is so cute. Does he look more like his father or his mother?"

Being teased by others, Cheng Jiacheng felt a little unable to stand down, so he had to ask the housekeeper beside him in a low voice.

"What's going on with Gu Xinyue? Why does it take so long to go to the bathroom? Please let someone go in and take a look."

When the housekeeper asked Gu Xinyue to go to the bathroom, Cheng Shishi and Zhong Zhizhong appeared in full makeup.

"Dad, I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I'm late."

Cheng Shishi was dressed in jewels and made a high-profile appearance like the protagonist of a banquet.

After arriving, she greeted the guests warmly.

Before she came, everyone was talking behind Cheng Jiacheng's back about the breakdown of his relationship with his wife and daughter because he wanted his grandson to recognize his ancestor.

Now the arrival of Cheng Shishi and others has broken this rumor.

Seeing the father and daughter talking and laughing in a harmonious atmosphere, everyone's expectation of seeing a joke was dashed.

Not long after, the housekeeper came back in a hurry, leaned next to Cheng Jiacheng and reported in a low voice.

"The young lady is not in the bathroom. I searched many places and couldn't find her. I suspect she is missing."

Cheng Jiacheng's face turned serious. The housekeeper had been with him for decades and was always doing things right. When he said that Gu Xinyue might be missing, he was really missing.

Noticing the actions of the two of them, Cheng Shishi felt secretly proud and deliberately asked loudly: "Dad, we have been here for so long, why haven't we seen my sister-in-law yet?"

Normally she would not even call Gu Xinyue sister-in-law, but now she shouted so loudly in front of outsiders, for fear that they would not know who she was talking about.

Cheng Jiacheng glared at Cheng Shishi coldly. In front of outsiders, it was hard for him to teach his daughter a lesson and make everyone laugh.

"Mommy went to the bathroom." The little guy on the side answered first.

When the little guy said this, everyone didn't think much about it.

Worried that going too far would arouse her father's suspicion, Cheng Shishi curled her lips, thinking that as long as Gu Xinyue never showed up, her plan would succeed.

In order to create the illusion of singing and dancing, Cheng Jiacheng asked the butler to find Gu Xinyue again while flying around with the little guy so that the guests had no chance to mention Gu Xinyue again.

In the middle of the banquet, a waitress rushed in with a panicked expression and yelled loudly.

"No, someone fainted in the bathroom!"

Cheng Shishi immediately asked: "Did something happen to my sister-in-law?"

Hearing her shouting like this, everyone also remembered what the little guy said just now that his mother had gone to the bathroom. Counting it, it was almost half an hour.

"Hurry up and find someone to go in and see what's going on!"

"Do you want to call the doctor?" Everyone expressed their opinions, and Cheng Jiacheng glanced at Cheng Shishi meaningfully.

He knew that the person in the bathroom was definitely not Gu Xinyue, but because of Cheng Shishi's shout just now, he could only let people in to take a look.

The female guest who had a nuisance followed the waitress into the bathroom. After a while, they helped a middle-aged woman out, but it was not Gu Xinyue.

Cheng Shishi looked a little strange when she saw that it was not Gu Xinyue but the cleaning lady who came out.

"Mommy is missing. Did something happen to Mommy?"

The little guy ran into the bathroom with his short legs. After looking around for Mommy, he started crying.

When the little guy cries, he doesn't make a sharp cry like other children, but cries inconsolably, making a whining sound like a small animal.

Seeing him crying so pitifully, Cheng Jiacheng's whole heart clenched into a ball. He hugged him distressedly and coaxed him with gentle words.

"Don't worry, Mommy will be fine. Grandpa is here."

At his signal, the housekeeper began to interrogate the cleaning aunt.

"Why did you faint in the bathroom? Have you ever seen the young lady?"

Before the cleaning lady could answer, the little guy noticed with sharp eyes that the phone she was holding belonged to Gu Xinyue.

"Why did you steal Mommy's phone?"

Realizing that other people were looking at her unkindly, the cleaning lady trembled and stuttered in explanation.

"No, I didn't steal the phone. I found this phone inside."

The housekeeper immediately asked: "Where did you pick up this mobile phone? When did it happen?"

The cleaning lady’s eyes flickered as she explained the time and place where she picked up the phone.

"Then how did you faint inside? What happened?" the housekeeper asked again.

The cleaning aunt was also confused. She took Cheng Shishi's money, knocked Gu Xinyue out when she entered the bathroom, took her cell phone away, and prevented Gu Xinyue from contacting the outside world.

According to the plan, when the banquet was halfway through, she would pretend to find Gu Xinyue in the bathroom and lure everyone over.

The purpose was to frame Gu Xinyue for having a tryst with other men during the banquet.

Little did she know that she had just opened the bathroom door and wanted to take the man who had taken Cheng Shishi's money into the bathroom. During the second half of the scene, she was knocked unconscious for some reason.

When she woke up, she was already lying on the bathroom floor.

Of course, she didn't dare to say these words. Faced with the housekeeper's questioning, she had to be vague and try to get over it.

"When I was washing the toilet just now, I accidentally stepped on the water on the ground, my foot slipped, and I fainted like that."

The housekeeper asked: "So have you met Miss Su?"

"No, I haven't seen her." Sister Qing denied it.

Next, the housekeeper asked the cleaning lady several questions, but he didn't get any clues.

Unable to ask for clues about Gu Xinyue from her in-laws, and worried about Gu Xinyue's safety, someone suggested calling the police.

"You can't call the police." Cheng Shishi immediately denied the suggestion.

As soon as the words came out, he felt that his words were a bit abrupt, so he quickly made up for it.

"I don't know now whether my sister-in-law is missing or running away on her own."
