After the Tang family mother and daughter were driven away, Tang Wanning quickly hugged Le Bao and comforted her.

The little guy's face was already swollen high. Children's skin is delicate, and Tang Wanrou's long nails were used with force. At this moment, Le Bao was crying so hard that he couldn't catch his breath.

"Baby, it's all Mommy's fault. Mommy didn't protect Le Bao well."

With a sob in her voice, Tang Wanning kept comforting Le Bao, saying it was all her fault that Le Bao had suffered such a serious injury.

Lu Chenyue looked at the two people who were hugging and crying. They were the two most important people in his life, but they were hurt in front of him. He felt very bad.

"Let's go to the Lu family's house; the doctor is already waiting."

Lu Chenyue believed that the drugging incident three years ago was related to Tang Wanning, so his only intention in coming here was to get the child. But given the current situation, he couldn't separate the child from the child's mother.

Tang Wanning took ice cubes from the refrigerator, wrapped them in a towel, and gently placed them on Le Bao's chubby cheeks, completely ignoring the fact that her own face was also swollen.

Let's go.

Tang Wanning did not refuse to go to the Lu family.

Le Bao does need a doctor right now, and secondly, it would be good to get things cleared up once and for all during this visit.

On the way to the Lu family's house, Le Bao had cried herself to sleep and was sobbing in Tang Wanning's arms. Usually, she would have been put to sleep by her mother by this time.

The little one still had tears on his eyelashes, and his eyes were too closed to open, but he stubbornly refused to sleep.

"Baby, go to sleep. Mommy's here. There won't be any bad people."

Tang Wanning felt sorry for Le Bao, who was frightened and dared not sleep, so she hugged Le Bao tighter and hummed the little tune she usually used to lull her to sleep.

Slowly, the little one fell asleep in his mother's arms.

It was a bit chilly at night, so Tang Wanning took off her coat and covered Le Bao with it, while she herself, wearing only short sleeves, hunched her shoulders.

Seeing Lu Chenyue throughout the entire process in the rearview mirror, he silently turned on the car's heater.

The warm air whirred, becoming the only sound in the entire car.

The Lu family's estate is located halfway up the mountain and is an independent manor with a large area.

When the car drove into the manor, Lu Jianguo was waiting at the gate, with a doctor in a white coat standing next to him.

Upon receiving Lu Chenyue's message, Lu Jianguo immediately wanted to rush to the scene. Lu Chenyue told him to call the doctor, as they were already on their way back.

"What happened? How did the baby get hurt?"

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Lu Jianguo rushed to the front of the car, craning his neck to look at Le Bao inside, while blaming Lu Chenyue.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Lu Chenyue walked over to Tang Wanning and opened the car door.

"Let me hug you."

Thinking that it would be difficult for Tang Wanning to get out of the car while holding the child, Lu Chenyue reached out to take the child from her.

"No need, she'll wake up if it's someone else."

Tang Wanning refused Lu Chenyue's help, carefully carrying Le Bao, and slowly climbed out.

Seeing the old man standing at the car door, Tang Wanning nodded. She had just seen him that morning, and she didn't expect to see him again so soon.

After the group returned to the house, Lu Chenyue gestured for the doctor to examine the child.

When Tang Wanning removed the clothes covering Le Bao, his swollen little face was clearly exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Who dares to hurt a child of the Lu family like this?"

Lu Jianguo roared angrily, startling Le Bao, who was fast asleep. Le Bao pouted and was about to cry.

Tang Wanning quickly patted her back and gently comforted her.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lu Jianguo pulled Lu Chenyue aside and asked him what happened.

"The Tang family, very well, a mere Tang family, dare to touch anyone from my Lu family. I will make them pay a hundredfold for the injuries my baby suffered."

When it comes to protecting their own, no one is better than the Lu family. Besides, she's the only girl in the Lu family for generations.

Lu Jianguo summoned the housekeeper and ordered him to take people to the Tang family immediately to make them pay back a hundredfold for the injuries suffered by Le Bao and her mother.

In other words, if Le Bao and Tang Wanning each received one slap, the entire Tang family would receive 100 slaps.

While they were still arranging revenge, Le Bao was crying loudly in pain from the disinfectant alcohol.

Le Bao, who had finally fallen asleep, was woken up by the pain from the doctor's disinfectant alcohol. Before she even opened her eyes, tears and mouth were already streaming down her face.

"Waaaaah, no, no!"

Le Bao pushed away the doctor's outstretched hand while burying her face in Tang Wanning's arms.

"Don't cry, baby. Grandpa's here. Grandpa will get you something yummy, okay?"

Upon hearing the crying, Lu Jianguo strode over and circled around the sobbing little girl, wishing he could take her suffering upon himself.

"Okay, okay, baby, Mommy's holding you, we won't wipe anymore, we won't wipe anymore."

Tang Wanning gestured for the doctor to remove the cotton swab. She knew how painful it was; even adults couldn't bear it, let alone children.

Fortunately, the disinfection process had already been completed once, and now it's time to apply the ointment.

Lu Chenyue stood to the side, watching Tang Wanning pat the little one while shedding tears, and he felt powerless for the first time.

After Le Bao calmed down, Tang Wanning carefully took the ointment the doctor handed her, squeezed it onto Le Bao's injured cheek, and gently spread it.

The ointment felt cool and refreshing, and when applied to the skin, it relieved the pain and burning sensation. This time, Le Bao didn't cry.

"Let's take the child to the room first."

Seeing that Le Bao had fallen asleep again, Lu Chenyue called a servant and took Tang Wanning and her son to the guest room upstairs.

Are you planning to only have the child?

Lu Jianguo astutely pointed out Lu Chenyue's thoughts.

Lu Chenyue didn't speak; he was also conflicted.

"Slap"

"Is that really what you're planning?"

Seeing that Lu Chenyue didn't speak, Lu Jianguo knew that this was really what he was planning, so he hit him on the leg with a stick.

Why did you hit me?

Lu Chenyue glared angrily at his father, only to be inexplicably struck with a stick.

"I'll beat you up, you heartless bastard! That woman gave birth to the child all by herself and raised her to this age. You just take her away like that? Who do you think you are?"

Lu Jianguo couldn't understand how he could have given birth to such a cold-blooded son.

"She sowed the seeds of her own actions three years ago, and now she has to accept the consequences."

Lu Chenyue still harbors resentment over being framed three years ago.

"I......"

"I did not do this voluntarily."

Lu Jianguo had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Tang Wanning, who was coming downstairs.

She placed Le Bao on the bed in the room, held her and patted her for a while, then asked the maid to watch over her from upstairs while she went downstairs to find the Lu family father and son. But as soon as she reached the stairs, she overheard their conversation.

"Three years ago, I was also a victim. The Tang family drugged me and wanted to give me to their business partner. I struggled to escape, but you dragged me in. Believe it or not, that was my first time."

Tang Wanning calmly recounted what happened three years ago; that incident no longer stirred any emotion in her. Now she had Le Bao, her whole world.

"I won't give Le Bao to you. She's my precious baby, born with my life on the line. I named her Tang Anle because I hope she'll have a peaceful and joyful life. You can come to see her anytime, but don't even think about taking her away from me."

A mother's determination is unwavering; no one should underestimate a mother's resolve.
