Chapter: 959
Xiao Churan and Dong Ruolin had already arrived before them.
Ye Chen and Xiao Churan took a step into the room, only to see Xiao Chunran pacing back and forth in the living room.
Xiao Chunran saw them come in and hurriedly asked, "Dad, Ye Chen, how many mahjong parlors did you go to?"
Xiao Churan hesitated and said, "I'm not sure... anyway, we just kept looking for places that had mahjong or card rooms and asking about the situation."
Xiao Chunran pressed on: "What was the result?"
"Nothing......" Xiao Churan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ah, Chunran, your mom is a big person, she won't get into any trouble. At most, she might be swindled by some fraudulent organization, but you don't need to worry too much about it..."
"I can't help worrying!" Xiao Chunran's eyes were red with tears: "What if Mom gets into some kind of emergency? There's no news from her, and anything bad could happen. And the longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes. Look at all those missing persons cases reported online - how many of them have a happy ending? Most of them are just terrible stories..."
Xiao Churan looked awkward: "There's nothing as dangerous as you're thinking... you should think about what your mom has that might attract some trouble. Is she rich enough to be robbed of her money? We've already spent all our savings at home, and... is she attractive enough to be kidnapped for her looks? Thieves would risk getting caught just once to kidnap someone like her..."
"Father!" Xiao Chunran said with a hint of anger: "How can you say such things?"
Xiao Churan was now thinking only of Han Mei Qing, and after drinking some wine, he felt free and uncaring about Ma Ran. So he said nonchalantly: "Well, okay, the words might be harsh, but every word is true - she can't be robbed of her money or kidnapped for her looks... what kind of danger could she get into?"
"Besides, Mom's temper is something you should know. Who would dare to provoke her? She gets so angry that even dogs in our neighborhood won't bark at the window outside, and you're still worried about her getting into trouble?"
"Xiao Chunran was left speechless by Xiao Changkun's words, and his nose suddenly twitched with a hint of anger. He asked indignantly: 'Dad! Are you just coming back from drinking?!'"
At first, Xiao Chunran didn't notice that Xiao Changkun had been drinking.
But upon closer inspection, he suddenly caught the scent of alcohol on him and was immediately filled with unexpected anger!
In normal times, dad loves to drink a bit, and she has no opinion about it. But what's key is that he said he was going to find mom at the mahjong parlor, but how did he still come back drunk?!
This...... this proves that he didn't go to find mom at all, but rather...... went drinking instead!
As soon as Xiao Chunran asked him if he had been drinking, Xiao Changkun hastily covered his mouth and took a few steps back, frantically explaining: "Don't say such nonsense! I haven't been drinking!"
"You're the one saying nonsense!" Xiao Chunran's anger surged as he stomped his foot: "I can smell the alcohol on you now! You didn't have it when you left, but you do now! It's definitely from in between!"
Saying that, she tightly gazed at Xiao Changkun's collar and discovered a few oil spots, her eyes red from anger: "Mom went missing and couldn't be found, but you didn't even try to find her, and instead ran off to drink and eat. You must be very happy indeed!"
Xiao Changkun awkwardly said: "Oh, um... oh, I mean... I really haven't been drinking..."
Xiao Chunran grew furious: "Dad, do you think I'll believe that?"
Xiao Changkun knew he couldn't keep lying and so looked at Ye Chen, saying: "It was Ye Chen who called me to go out."
After finishing, she quickly shot a glance at Ye Chen, implying good son-in-law, this one's got your back.
Ye Chen, being a clever person, nodded immediately without hesitation, saying: "That's right, that's right. Dad is telling the truth. I did call him to go drinking."
In reality, Ye Chen was very clear about it - he hadn't had any drinks himself, Xiao Changkun was just staggering around drunk. The more they talked, the less Xiao Chunran would believe. JrNovels.com
