Upon hearing Wenwen's words, Yunyao made a "shh" gesture to her.

She jumped through the window, walked up to Wenwen, and pulled her arm to the bedside.

"Sister Wenwen, I knew you were home, so why did your mom say you weren't here?" Yun Yao asked, looking puzzled.

Seeing that Yun Yao didn't know about Xiao Ye, Wenwen was even more conflicted. Should she tell her?

Ono has been sent to the countryside by his wife. They plan to bring him back after things have calmed down, saying he's a relative's child from the countryside.

"Sister Wenwen, what's wrong?" Seeing Wenwen's condition, Yunyao continued to ask.

She remembered what Wenrou had said, so she didn't mention Ono to her and pretended not to know.

"Yun Yao, did you know that your cousin Xiao Ye is missing?" Wenwen asked, looking at Yun Yao.

Yun Yao shook her head. "I don't know."

She didn't hear Ono's voice when she came in through the window, so she guessed that Ono might not be here.

However, after hearing Wenwen say this, she was very puzzled.

If Ono wasn't at her house, how would she know that Ono was missing?

Yun Yao still believed in Wenwen, after all, Wenwen had helped her a lot in the past.

She and Wenwen are good friends, but if she really takes Xiaoye's little brother away, they will break off their friendship.

After struggling with the decision, Wenwen decided to tell Yunyao the truth.

"Yun Yao, your little brother Xiao Ye was actually taken away by my mother. My grandma is currently on her way back to her hometown with him. She plans to leave him with relatives to raise for a while and then bring him back in a few years."

Wenwen couldn't bear to lie to Yunyao. Aunt Wenrou and Aunt Tanlin had been so good to her and had helped them so much back then; she couldn't repay kindness with enmity.

"Go back and tell your mother to drive to the countryside to look for him," Wenwen said again.

Yun Yao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Thank you for telling me all this, Sister Wenwen. We're still friends."

After she finished speaking, she prepared to climb back through the window.

Wenwen was afraid she would fall, so she reached out and grabbed her.

"Don't climb out the window. I'll lure my mom away, and you can take the opportunity to leave my house."

After Wenwen finished speaking, she opened her room door and went out.

At this moment, Li Caixia was busy in the kitchen, holding the money Wen Wan had given her. She had just bought a lot of meat from the market.

Tan Lin's family is wealthy, and she usually gives Wen Wan a considerable amount of pocket money.

She had saved all that money, and this time she gave some of it to Li Caixia.

This made Li Caixia feel even more that it was the right decision to let Tan Lin raise Wen Wan. Now that she has money to spend, she felt that she had not given birth to this daughter in vain.

"To be honest, Wen Wan is a really good girl. The Wen family is so rich, she will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Just her allowance alone is quite a lot, and she can even help our family occasionally."

Seeing Wenwen walk in, Li Caixia said with a smile.

Wenwen frowned upon hearing this. "Mom, when we entrusted Wanwan to others for upbringing, we never intended to take her back. How could you go to the school to see Wanwan without permission, and even let her steal money from home to give to you?"

Wenwen didn't know why her mother had become like this. Looking at Li Caixia in front of her, her eyes were full of disappointment.

"What do you know? The Wen family is so rich, what's a little bit to our family? What can I do with my meager monthly salary? I still have to support your schooling. If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death long ago."

When Li Caixia heard Wenwen say that, a hint of anger immediately rose on her face.

Seeing this, Wenwen didn't say anything more. She knew that no matter what she said, Li Caixia would definitely not think that she had done anything wrong.

She glanced at the doorway and gave Yun Yao a wink.

Seeing that Li Caixia hadn't noticed, Yun Yao quietly slipped out of the room.

Wenrou was waiting at the door. When she saw her daughter come out, she hurriedly went up to her and asked, "Yaoyao, how is it? Is Xiaoye inside?"

Yun Yao shook her head. "It's just Sister Wenwen and her mother at home."

Wenrou frowned upon hearing this.

Just then, she heard her daughter speak again: "But Sister Wenwen said that Xiaoye was sent to a relative's house in the countryside by his grandmother and stepfather. They said they would bring him back in a few years."

Upon hearing Yun Yao's words, Wenrou's expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly called Tan Lin and Wen Jinian.

Upon receiving Wenrou's call, Tan Lin and Wen Jinian quickly rushed over.

While Wenrou was waiting for them, she also called Huo Yanchuan.

They went back to find Ono first, and asked him to bring the police officers to come later.

This matter has already involved human trafficking. These days, there are many ignorant people who always try to take advantage of loopholes and harbor侥幸 (a sense of luck or chance).

"Will Ono be alright? Why did they take my Ono away?" Tan Lin asked worriedly in the car.

Wenrou, sitting in the front driving, said coldly, "Then we'll have to ask Wen Wan. Yun Yao said that Wen Wan even used your money to subsidize Li Caixia. It seems she must have known about her background all along, otherwise how could she have gotten involved with Li Caixia?"

Upon hearing Wenrou's words, Wen Jinian's expression darkened.

He never expected that this matter would be related to Wen Wan.

When Tan Lin wanted to adopt Wen Wan, he knew she wanted a child, so he didn't stop her.

Although Tan Lin has been good to Wen Wan over the years, he still hasn't been very close to her. He always felt that the girl was very cunning. Sometimes when the family bought delicious food, she would eat it all herself and not leave any for him and Tan Lin.

Tan Lin always said that Wen Wan was still a child, and it was normal for her to be greedy.

Being greedy is one thing, but being selfish is another.

He thought he had been very good to Wen Wan over the years, but he never expected that she would be such an ungrateful wretch.

Tan Lin fell silent at this moment. She never expected that Wen Wan would actually help her in this matter.

He had been so good to her, buying her whatever she wanted since she was little.

All the clothes are brand new; I've never asked for someone else's hand-me-downs.

In recent years, she has treated Wen Wan like her own daughter.

I give her pocket money so she can buy things she likes.

Unexpectedly, she not only gave all that money to Li Caixia, but also stole money from her family to subsidize them.

Because of her soft heart, she and Li Caixia ended up sending her own son away.

If anything happens to her son, she will absolutely not let this family off the hook.

Yun Yao found out the address of their relatives in the countryside from Wenwen, and without delay, she drove straight to the countryside.

She drove the car, while the old woman and the others took the shuttle bus, which had a long way to go.

At this moment, Wenrou had already floored the accelerator, wishing she could grow wings and fly over to rescue Xiaoye.

Soon, their car arrived at the village entrance that Wenwen had mentioned.

After inquiring, Wenrou and Tan Lin went directly there.

Not long after the old woman and her group arrived in the village, Wenrou and her group arrived.

Wenrou inquired with the villagers about the old woman's relatives and confirmed that she was carrying a boy when she arrived.

"It's Ono, it must be my Ono, let's go over there quickly." Tan Lin was very excited when she heard this.

Wen Jinian reached out and supported her arm, and together they walked towards the house.

Upon hearing the sound, Tan Lin's legs went weak.

"It's Ono's voice."

Her little wild one, she finally found a way to beat up her own son.

Wenrou raised her foot and kicked the door hard.

The people inside were startled by the noise. They looked towards the door and froze for a moment.

The old woman was still holding Xiao Ye in her arms. When Xiao Ye saw Tan Lin and Wen Jinian, she struggled and cried out to them, "Mommy, Daddy."

When Tan Lin saw her son, she rushed over, snatched the child from the old woman's arms, and hugged him tightly in her arms.

"Little Ye, don't be afraid, Mommy's here." Tan Lin quickly comforted Little Ye when she saw that he was quite frightened.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house? That's not your child, he's my grandson."

After the old woman realized what was happening, she tried to rush forward to snatch Xiao Ye, but Wen Jinian stopped her.

"Say that again? How did my son become your grandson? This is human trafficking, you'll be going to jail."

Wenrou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiaoye had finally been found.

Wen Jinian's words made the others panic, but compared to that, the old woman's desire for a grandson reached its peak.

She watched as her long-awaited grandson was taken away, and she sat on the ground, so angry that she started crying and making a scene.

"Help! Someone's trying to kidnap my child! My grandson has been taken away!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Lin argued with her, "This is clearly my child. You kidnapped him from my side."

The neighbors outside heard the noise and rushed over. Some wanted to help, but just as they were about to step forward, they saw Wenrou holding an axe.

"I'll chop anyone who dares to come near me. The evidence against them for human trafficking is conclusive. The police will be here soon to take them away. If you want to get involved, I don't mind having the police take you away with them."

Those who wanted to come up and help started to back down when they heard Wenrou's words.

None of them wanted to go to jail or get themselves implicated in this matter.

Seeing that no one was willing to help, the old woman became even more anxious.

She got up from the ground, ready to fight with Wenrou and the others, when she heard several footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Yanchuan arrived with officers from the Public Security Bureau.

The evidence of their trafficking of Xiao Ye was already presented to them, and the police officers arrested them all without saying a word.

After finding Xiao Ye, Tan Lin and Wen Jinian took Wen Rou's car home.

On her way home, Tan Lin had already made up her mind.

At that moment, Wen Wan and Aunt Liu were at home. Upon hearing the noise, Aunt Liu hurriedly ran out.

"Ono, Ono is back." Aunt Liu cried when she saw that Ono had finally been found safe and sound.

When Wen Wan heard that Xiao Ye had returned, she clenched her fists tightly, her face filled with hatred.

She thought she would never see Ono again in this life, and that she would be her parents' only child.

I didn't expect him to find it after all?

She stood up and went outside. When she got to the door, she saw Tan Lin holding Xiao Ye and rushed forward crying, "Little Ye, Mommy, we found Little Ye!"

She thought Tan Lin was unaware of what she had done, and saw that Xiao Ye was also crying very sadly and feeling guilty.

Tan Lin looked at the daughter she had raised for four years with a cold face.

She raised her hand and slapped him hard.

"You still know Ono is your brother? What have you done that you really think we still don't know?"

This is the first time in all these years that Tan Lin has hit Wen Wan.

Wen Wan covered her face, unable to believe that her mother would hit her.

"Mom, I don't know what you're saying?"

Wen Wan tried to argue, but Tan Lin looked at her coldly. She didn't want to hear a single word from Wen Wan now and went inside with Xiao Ye in her arms.

Seeing that Tan Lin ignored her, Wen Wan looked at Wen Jinian beside her and called out with a wronged expression, "Dad."

Wen Jinian's face was gloomy. He sneered and said, "I'm not your father. You should know your own background. We've raised you for so many years, which is more than enough. Since you miss your biological parents so much, I'll send you back in a bit. After that, you'll have nothing to do with us anymore."

After Wen Jinian finished speaking, he followed Tan Lin inside.

Wenrou glanced at Wenwan with a cold expression.

When Wen Wan heard that they were going to send her back, she panicked.

Her parents are so poor, what could they possibly give her?

She doesn't want to go back; she wants to stay here.

Unfortunately, it was too late for her to realize all this. Tan Lin didn't even want to say a word to her anymore, nor did she want to see her again.

Her heart was broken. From then on, they severed ties with Wen Wan and were no longer family.

"Mom, I was wrong. Please don't send me away. I'll never do it again." Wen Wan went in, knelt down in front of Tan Lin, and cried with snot and tears all over her face.

Tan Lin, however, showed no change in expression, looking at her with a cold indifference throughout.

"I'm not your mother. Your mother's name is Li Caixia, remember that?"

After Tan Lin finished speaking, she handed the child over to Wen Jinian to take care of. She and Wen Rou took Wen Wan out the door and headed towards Li Caixia's house.

"I haven't taken my things yet."

Wen Wan wanted to go back and pack her things, but Tan Lin pulled her away.

"Your things? I bought all of those for you. You're not my daughter anymore, so those things don't belong to you."

Tan Lin wouldn't allow her to take anything from the house, and pulled her by the arm, leading her outside.

Wen Wan cried out, but Tan Lin remained unmoved.

Wenrou coldly watched her perform. If she had known she was an ungrateful wretch, she shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to adopt her in the first place.

When they arrived at Li Caixia's house, Tan Lin walked straight in and kicked the door open hard.

Li Caixia had just finished cooking when she heard the noise and came out.

When he saw Tan Lin and Wen Rou at the door, he was suddenly startled.

"Li Caixia, she is truly your good daughter. Since you two are of one mind, I'm returning her to you now. From now on, she has absolutely no connection with our family."
