Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

"What's going on?" Li Xin sat on the chair next to Gong Di and looked at Mo Chen. Mo Chen was leaning back in his chair, obviously still in pain.

Li Xin looked at Gong Di.

Gong Di looked at Li Xin and said, "I sent the people back. The house was really burned beyond recognition and uninhabitable. I arranged for them to stay in a nearby hotel. As for the situation of his family, they only told half the truth. The old man died two years ago due to health problems and lack of money for treatment. The house caught fire a year ago. The neighbors said that the fire broke out suddenly in the middle of the night, but they don't know how it started. The woman became mentally ill the day after the house burned down. The child has indeed not been to school for a long time."

"I asked them how they knew where Rongyue was, and they said they saw the report about Rongyue's donation." Gong Di looked at Mo Chen.

"They don't even have a cell phone in their situation, where did you see the report? Cough cough cough... And donating money has nothing to do with knowing the address of Rongyue's company. She wasn't at her own company when she donated the money." Mo Chen suppressed a cough, "Rongyue asked you to send them back because she knew how far their home was from here and they couldn't go back by themselves. Then how did they get here? How did they find Rongyue's company so accurately, kneel in front of her, and even hold her back to take pictures?"

"Yeah, I also think someone is teaching them to do this. The article is so close, it must have been prepared in advance and sent out as soon as the photo was obtained." Li Xin wondered in his mind who could deal with Rongyue like this.

"But... Rongyue's relationship network is very simple and she is a kind person. I really have no idea who she could be enemies with." Gong Di was also stumped.

The three of them were silent for a while.

"How about the child..." Mo Chen still leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed.

"Rongyue asked me to take good care of him and send him to school tomorrow. I have already made arrangements. The child is a very honest child. When he heard that Rongyue was going to send him to school, I could clearly feel that he was very happy." Gong Di reported the child's situation.

Gong Di looked at Mo Chen and nodded slightly. He suddenly understood what Mo Chen meant. He turned and looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin was also looking at him, and it seemed that Li Xin also felt that the breakthrough of this matter had to start with this child.

"I'll go back and talk to the kid alone." Gong Di stood up, glanced at Mo Chen, and then went out.

"Go back. Don't come if you feel so uncomfortable. Can't you handle these things by lying at home?" Li Xin looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen opened his eyes and felt that the surrounding environment seemed to no longer rotate. Li Xin was right and he should go back. He forced himself to stand up while suppressing the dizziness and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Li Xin held Mo Chen. Even through his clothes, he could feel the heat on his body. Li Xin carried the almost unconscious Mo Chen out of the office and rushed straight to the hospital.

… …

At night, Rongyue coaxed the children to sleep and put away their toys in the living room. While cleaning up, she thought about everything that happened that day. There were also two things that kept turning around in her mind: she hadn't seen Mo Chen for a day and didn't know how he was doing, and how could she not go back to see Xiaokun's mother.

When Li Xin entered the room, he saw Rongyue sitting on the carpet with a toy in her hand, in a daze. He looked at Rongyue's right arm. She was wearing a long sleeve that covered her arm.

Li Xin walked to the sofa and Rongyue saw him. Her first reaction was to look at the door.

"Mo Chen is not at my house." Li Xin sat on the sofa. He was also tired today. He had just returned from the hospital. He did not even go into his own house but came directly to Rongyue. He felt at ease only when he saw her.

Rongyue looked at Li Xin's expression, she stood up to pour a glass of water for Li Xin, sat next to Li Xin, and handed the water to Li Xin. "Have you had dinner?"

Li Xin shook his head and drank the water. He had been in the hospital all the time and had no time to eat.

Rongyue got up and went to the kitchen, took out the ingredients, and made a simple noodle soup. She knew that Li Xin had a bad stomach and he always didn't pay attention to it. Every time she knew that Li Xin hadn't eaten, she would simply make him some noodles.

Li Xin looked at Rongyue until she put the noodles into the bowl. He walked to Rongyue, picked up the bowl of noodles and put it on the dining table. Rongyue took the chopsticks, sat opposite Li Xin and handed the chopsticks to Li Xin.

Although the two people didn't say a word, they had a tacit understanding.

Li Xin opened his phone, handed it to Rongyue, and then began to eat noodles seriously.

Rongyue took Li Xin's phone and looked at it. There was a video on it. The picture was of Kun Youming, and the angle of view seemed that Kun Youming didn't know that he was being filmed.

Rongyue clicked on the video.

Gong Di: [Youming, tell your uncle the truth, how did grandma die.]

Kun Youming: [Grandma died of illness. She was very seriously ill. My parents refused to take her to the hospital. It was useless for me to beg them.]

Kun Youming choked with sobs.

Gong Di comforted Kun Youming for a while.

Gong Di: [How did your house catch fire? Where do you and your parents live? ]

Kun Youming: [Someone set fire to my house. We have no other place to live, so we live in the destroyed house.]

Gong Di: [Do you know who they are? ]

Kun Youming: [I don’t know them. They were some fierce uncles who asked my dad for money. They came a few times but my family didn’t have any money to give them. The last time, they burned down the house in the middle of the night.]

Kun Youming: [My mother called Aunt Rongyue and wanted to ask her for money, because Aunt Rongyue also gave her money to renovate our house, so she wanted to continue asking Aunt Rongyue for money. But before my grandmother died, she told us not to ask Aunt Rongyue for money anymore, so I tore up Aunt Rongyue’s phone number. Since then, my mother…began to lose consciousness. Until now, the only thing she remembers is to find Aunt Rongyue and ask for money.]

Gong Di: [Do you still remember Aunt Rongyue? How does she treat your family? ]

Kun Youming: [Grandma said that Aunt Rongyue was a good person. Not only did she spend money to build a house for us, she also saved grandma’s life, spent a lot of money on grandma’s medical treatment and hospitalization, and finally saved my aunt. Aunt Rongyue also had someone send a lot of money to grandma secretly for the last time. Grandma didn’t let my parents know and kept the money for my schooling. But in the end, my parents found the money and grandma got sick and died. They didn’t let me go to school.]

Kun Youming: [However, Aunt Rongyue said today that I can go to school tomorrow! Is that true? Can I really go to school! ]

Gong Di: [Yes, you can go back to school tomorrow. So how did you find Aunt Rongyue today? ]

Kun Youming: [A few days ago, my family received a package with some money and a cell phone, as well as Aunt Rongyue's address. My dad saw these and brought us all the way here to find her.]

Rongyue put down her phone and said, "Why are you recording this?"

Li Xin finished eating and looked at Rong Yue, "Kun Jun, this is your brother Xiao Kun who came to see you today. He got involved in gambling in the past few years and owed a lot of high-interest loans. His house was burned down by these debt collectors."

Rongyue nodded, "So that's how it is. Once you get involved in gambling, it's like a bottomless pit. One million... I don't know how much it can fill."

Li Xin kept looking at Rongyue.

Rongyue thought for a while, then looked up and saw Li Xin looking at her seriously.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did you watch the video carefully? I just asked you to listen to a story, right?! Didn't you hear a few things that were wrong?" Li Xin was helpless.

"Someone deliberately gave Kunjun my address... Other than that, I don't see anything wrong..."

"You noticed this! And you still ask why this video was taken! Don't you check your phone? Don't you think someone is deliberately targeting you?!"

Rongyue nodded, "Except for public opinion, it has no effect on me. Please don't post this video of the child. He is a sensible child, not a tool. He cannot be used like this."

"He can be used by others to harm you, but you can't use it to clarify the facts. Does that make sense?"

"The child is innocent. Others can do this, but I can't. Besides, I gave them money, and they didn't have any substantial impact on me. I can't push a child out because of unfounded troubles! He is so old, and being forced by his parents to kneel and kowtow in front of so many people is already hurtful to his self-esteem. Fortunately, his face was not photographed. If this video is sent out, everyone will know him. How can he go to school? How can he hold his head up in front of his classmates and teachers!"

Rongyue looked at Li Xin seriously and said, "Anyway, this video cannot be used! I don't agree!"

"No substantial impact?" Li Xin said as he reached out and held Rongyue's right arm.

Li Xin held Rongyue's arm with a little force, and the pain in Rongyue's arm suddenly became clear.

"Hmm!" Rongyue pushed Li Xin's hand away, but couldn't. The pain made her almost cry.

"It hurts!" Rongyue was so angry that she hit Li Xin's hand a few times.

"If you don't let go I'll bite you!"

Li Xin looked at Rongyue who was about to cry, helplessly, he got up, washed a warm towel and sat next to Rongyue, rolled up her sleeves, and saw that the purple bruise on her arm could not be covered even by the towel.

Li Xin wrapped the towel around Rongyue's arm.

"Once public opinion starts to ferment, it will be more than just a pain in the arm. You can never think the worst of people."

"People have their mouths on them, they can talk all they want, I can't cover their mouths. Besides, what's so scary about it? People just like gossiping, and when the limelight passes, no one will care. It's not like I haven't experienced that before!"

Rongyue wiped the tears from her face and wanted to grab the towel to cover her face, but she couldn't pull Li Xin away. She could only hit Li Xin again to relieve her anger.

Li Xin endured the beating and looked at Rongyue crying and pretending to be stubborn. He was angry and felt sorry for her. He didn't want to say any soft or hard words and thought it would be easiest to solve the problem directly.

After a while, Li Xin saw that Rongyue had calmed down.

"Mo Chen is in the hospital."

Rongyue looked at Li Xin.

"I had a high fever caused by pneumonia and fainted in the office today. I'm better now after going to the hospital. I didn't tell my grandfather and uncle because I was afraid they would worry."

Li Xin glanced at Rongyue's expression.

"Mo Chen was shot not long ago. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit the heart, but his lungs were seriously injured. The doctor said that it was fortunate that it did not penetrate the lung lobe, otherwise..." Li Xin paused and sighed softly.

Rongyue missed a beat while listening to these breaths.

"Then... now that you're back, what will he do?"

"Assistant Dong is here. Mo Chen was worried about you asking me to come back first."

"Is his brain burned out? Why should you worry about me?!" Rongyue was a little angry with Mo Chen. He couldn't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant!

Li Xin looked at Rongyue and chuckled.

The next morning, Li Xin came early. Rongyue was making breakfast in the kitchen. Li Xin and the two children left together after breakfast.

Rongyue packed the porridge and side dishes and went straight to the hospital.
