Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Finally seeing her daughter, Meng Tang immediately squatted down and steadily caught the little one who rushed towards her.

The moment Meng Tang held Bao Xin in her arms, she noticed how thin she had become, and she immediately stroked her rosy little face with heartache.

"I'm sorry, Xinxin, Mommy is late. Xinxin, you've suffered here. Why are your eyes so swollen? Have you been crying?"

If Bao Xin said that Fu Jishu bullied her, Meng Tang would pick up a kitchen knife and rush over to fight him to the death right now.

Bao Xin tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "Uncle scared Bao Xin a little, but Bao Xin is brave. Uncle is so kind. If you give Bao Xin candy and toys, Bao Xin will accept it."

Although Baoxin is not even three years old, her language skills are already quite good.

Hearing her words, Meng Tang was amused by her childish talk and patted her little head affectionately.

Fu Jishu should thank Baoxin for being so sensible. Even though she was initially frightened by Fu Jishu, she forgave him after he gave her snacks and toys.

Children's world is so innocent; as long as they are happy now, they will soon forget about their previous unhappiness.

“Our Xinxin is the best girl ever. Mom promises Xinxin that she will never leave Xinxin’s side again.”

Baoxin nodded vigorously and stretched out her chubby little hand, "Mommy, pinky promise."

After Meng Tang and the little girl made a pinky promise, the little one asked again, "Daddy, what about it?"

Very well, the mother and daughter had just reunited and hadn't even exchanged a few warm words before Baoxin was already thinking about Song Guanting again.

Whether it was due to blood ties or Song Guanting's exceptional skill in charming children, the little one had already taken a liking to Baoxin after only a few days with him, even proactively inquiring about his whereabouts.

"Daddy is moving his luggage. We're going to stay here for a few days. Xin Xin, do you know which room your stepmother is staying in?"

Bao Xin immediately raised her little hand, "Hey, Mommy, why won't Uncle let Mommy hold Bao Xin?"

On her way to find Li Su, Bao Xin counted on her fingers and complained to Meng Tang.

“Uncle wants Baoxin to call him Dad, but Baoxin already has a dad, so Uncle doesn’t call Baoxin’s dad.”

"Uncle even scared the young mother to tears. Be brave, Baoxin, stay with the young mother."

Fu Jishu is a real scoundrel when he goes crazy; he even made Li Su cry. It seems we shouldn't stay here any longer.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Baoxin pointed forward with her little hand and said, "We're here."

Meng Tang was initially worried that someone might be watching the door, but there was no one at the bedroom door, making it seem easy to escape.

However, given Fu Jishu's cunning, Meng Tang dared not let her guard down. She put Bao Xin down first, then quietly went over and tried to open the door.

With a click, the door opened.

There was no lock?

Meng Tang opened the door and quickly scanned the area, but did not see Li Su.

Just as Meng Tang was wondering if Bao Xin had taken her to the wrong place, she suddenly heard a faint sound from her right side.

She then noticed that there was another room on her right, indicating that there were rooms within rooms.

"Susu?"

Meng Tang tentatively called out, just as her hand was about to reach for the doorknob.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a tall figure walked out of the room.

Meng Tang only caught a glimpse of the corner of a bed, but before she could get a good look, Fu Jishu had already closed the door behind her.

"Miss Meng, weren't you going to see Baoxin? Why are you here?"

Fu Jishu stood in a condescending posture, his deep black eyes hidden behind gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a cold aura.

However, Meng Tang was not afraid of Fu Jishu and readily agreed, saying, "Xinxin misses her stepmother, so I brought her to see Susu. Is she inside? Please make way, Mr. Fu, I'd like to talk to Susu."

But Fu Jishu's long arm blocked her way, preventing her from moving forward.

Her tone was also cold: "Miss Meng, you must have come to the wrong place. This is my bedroom. Su Su is not here. Besides, she was jet-lagged and is still asleep. I will tell her you came to see her when she wakes up."

"Mr. Fu, you wouldn't be deliberately preventing me from seeing Su Su, would you?"

Meng Tang kept looking for an opportunity out of the corner of her eye, but Fu Jishu was too tall and imposing, and she couldn't find a way to break through.

Fu Jishu said without even blinking, "How could that be? Miss Meng is Su Su's best friend, and it was I who sincerely invited Miss Meng and President Song to stay at Xiangshan Yayuan for a few more days."

"If I didn't want Miss Meng to have contact with Su Su, why would I have invited you to stay here?"

Meng Tang said, "Really? Since President Fu said so, I naturally believe him."

As she spoke, Meng Tang seemed to truly believe her and turned to leave.

But as Fu Jishu lowered his hand, Meng Tang suddenly turned around and grabbed the doorknob.

With a click, just as she was about to break through the last barrier and rush in, Fu Jishu grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully.

With a thud, Meng Tang's back unexpectedly slammed into the hard wall.

The back of my head seemed to have hit something at that moment, and my head felt a little stuffy.

Before Meng Tang could fully recover, he heard a furious shout from behind him: "Fu Jishu, let go of my wife!"

A fist, swift as the wind, swung heavily towards Fu Jishu.

Fu Jishu barely managed to dodge, and Song Guanting pulled Meng Tang into his arms.

"Tangtang, are you hurt anywhere?"

Meng Tang blinked slowly twice before she could see that Song Guanting looked anxious and was checking her over with great concern.

She raised her hand and pressed it against Song Guanting's hand. "I'm fine."

"Fu Jishu, you're asking for death!"

Song Guanting was not very willing to cooperate with Fu Jishu.

Fu Jishu actually dared to lay a hand on Meng Tang. Did he think he was dead?

As he spoke, Song Guanting clenched his fist again.

But this time Meng Tang stopped him, saying, "Song Guanting, stop. It's just a misunderstanding. I'm fine. Let's go out first."

"But if he dares to lay a hand on you, I'll skin him alive, or I'll change my name to something else!"

Meng Tang sighed and looked at him, "Say it again."

Just a moment ago, Song Guanting was fiercely determined to fight Fu Jishu to the death, but he instantly fell silent because of Meng Tang's words.

"I won't say anything more. Baoxin must be hungry. Shall we take her to eat first?"

Having mastered how to keep Meng Tang from getting angry, Song Guanting turned around and picked up Baoxin.

But as soon as he picked her up, Song Guanting's expression changed, and he glared fiercely at Fu Jishu.

"You surnamed Fu, have you been abusing my daughter? How come my precious daughter has lost so much weight in less than a day?"

Fu Jishu rolled his eyes. "Song Guanting, if you have eyes on your forehead, then donate them. Did you feed all the snacks I prepared for Baoxin to the dogs?"

“Your opinion doesn’t count. It’s up to my daughter to say. Baoxin, did this guy surnamed Fu bully you? Don’t be afraid, just tell Daddy, and Daddy will beat him until he’s crying for his parents.”
