"Daddy will carry you to see Mommy, okay? Mommy got sick with worry when she knew you were missing and has been in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yi's eyes reddened further, and she anxiously said, "I want to see Mommy!"
Jin Lan immediately carried Jian Yi to see Jiang Yan. On the way, Jian Yi asked about her mother and brother, not mentioning her own suffering at all, only showing concern for her mother and brother's condition.
Jin Lan's heart ached. This child was clearly an exceptionally good child. Her sister was truly out of her mind to think Jian Yi would harm the baby.
When Jiang Yan saw Jian Yi, she held her tightly and didn't let go, wishing she could attach the child to herself. Jin Lan, fearing Jian Yi would press on Jiang Yan's belly, tried to take the child away, but Jiang Yan refused. The joy of finding her child again, mixed with fear and regret, made her want to hold the child close, not letting go for a moment.
Jian Yi also held her mother tightly. The mother and daughter cried together for a long time.
It wasn't until dinner time that Jiang Yan reluctantly released Jian Yi, and the mother and daughter ate together.
Jin Lan returned and asked his daughter, "Jian Yi, who was the boy who escaped with you?"
"Ah, I forgot about him. It was him who helped me escape." Jian Yi was so happy to see her parents that she completely forgot about Fu Chen.
"Is that so? Then we must thank him properly. That child is our family's benefactor," Jiang Yan said quickly.
Jin Lan agreed.
After dinner, Jiang Yan insisted on going to see Fu Chen. Fu Chen had also woken up and was being served a light meal by the nurse. He was eating slowly because he had been starved for so long and couldn't eat anything greasy.
Seeing Jian Yi and her parents arrive, he immediately put down his chopsticks, got off the bed, and stood respectfully. "Hello, Auntie and Uncle."
Jiang Yan looked at the handsome boy, who appeared refined and polite. She immediately took a liking to him. Jiang Yan enjoyed beautiful people and things.
"Hello, hello. Thank you for saving my Jian Yi. Auntie really needs to thank you properly," Jiang Yan said.
"Auntie, Jian Yi and I helped each other escape. It wasn't just me saving her; she saved me too. Please don't be so formal, Auntie," Fu Chen replied very politely.
"Sit down and talk. No need to stand," Jin Lan said, gesturing for everyone to sit.
Jin Lan also ordered another meal to be brought. The four of them sat down and ate, talking as they did. Jin Lan asked Fu Chen his name and where he lived, and Fu Chen answered each question.
He wasn't from Jing Shi but from a city very close to Jing Shi. He said, "I overheard the traffickers saying that someone hired them to kidnap me and also ordered them to kill me. Those traffickers thought that since I was older, they could sell my organs for more money, so they didn't follow the employer's orders and kill me."
Jiang Yan and Jin Lan exchanged glances and looked at Fu Chen with sympathy. "Can you guess who it was?"
Fu Chen shook his head. "At first, I thought it was my stepmother. Then I thought about it carefully, and there were two other people who could also be suspects. So, I'm not sure who it is right now."
"Then don't worry for now. Once you've recovered, you can stay at Auntie's house. When we figure out who wanted to harm you, then you can go home. If you go back now, that person might not give up and could still come after you," Jiang Yan said sympathetically towards the boy, who looked only a little over ten years old.
