My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 822 - 831 Distinguish Right from Wrong

Lin Xiangwan returned home and, troubled, did not immediately see Qin Muchuan. Instead, she locked herself in the small cottage, not even letting the children in.

Qin Muchuan didn’t disturb her, knowing she needed time to settle and reflect.

Having to accept so many significant matters all at once, she needed to face and think about them rationally!

Xiao Qingyao entered Qin Muchuan’s room, frowning slightly, his gaze holding a trace of disapproval.

"Sit down!"

Qin Muchuan lifted his hand, signaling for him to sit on the chair beside him.

Xiao Qingyao didn’t speak but pointed his finger at him.

Qin Muchuan understood what he meant and curled his lips slightly.

"You, you, one day you’ll regret your decision!" Xiao Qingyao said.

Qin Muchuan smiled indifferently. "What can be done about it? I can’t just not tell Wanwan the truth, right? Now that we’ve found out who her mother is, it’s better to have fewer regrets in her life."

"I don’t see it as fewer regrets, only more!" Xiao Qingyao didn’t want to reproach him, but he couldn’t help it. "Look at you, if she doesn’t want to meet her mom, let it be. Yet you encourage her to go see her. Isn’t this just making trouble for yourself? What’s driving you?"

Qin Muchuan smiled; he wasn’t looking for trouble, he just didn’t want to leave room for any grievances.

After all, Li Hongge was guilty of a capital offense. If she truly died without a chance to feel regret, she would probably hate him even more, wouldn’t she?

She would definitely say, "Why didn’t you persuade me to meet her? If you had persuaded me, I would have definitely seen her!"

How could he make amends then?

"That Hong Lang must have said something to Wanwan, definitely painted you in a terrible light, claimed she is not worthy of death and surely pressured Wanwan to have her extradited back to the USA!" Xiao Qingyao asserted confidently.

Hong Lang was no ordinary fox; she was the ancestor of all seductresses. Lin Xiangwan was no match for her own mother.

For such a woman, there’s no need to consider familial love, for she has none—only interests and manipulation.

"Ah, if Wanwan believes her and gets swayed by her, then poor Wanwan will definitely get hurt by her own mother!" Xiao Qingyao expressed worriedly.

Qin Muchuan thought for a while. "Wanwan is a smart woman; I trust her. Give her time and she’ll figure it out!"

"I hope so!"

That evening, Lin Xiangwan finally emerged from her room. She brewed a pot of jujube and goji berry tea and brought it to the room.

"Jujubes nourish the blood and qi, and goji berries are a good remedy for heat clearing. Drinking some will be good for your health. You’ve been cooped up in the room all day; you must be feeling overheated!" Lin Xiangwan poured a cup and handed it to him.

"Thank you!"

Qin Muchuan took it and had a sip. Indeed, the taste was quite good. "Tell me, how did you feel after meeting with her today?"

Lin Xiangwan pondered for a moment and spoke the truth. "Honestly, at first, I didn’t feel anything; it was like meeting a stranger. It was only my reason telling me that this person is your mother, you know her. Besides that, I felt nothing at all!"

"..." Qin Muchuan didn’t interrupt her.

"But then, when she kept calling herself ’mom,’ it made me feel quite uncomfortable!" Lin Xiangwan said this and sneaked a glance at him. "My mother is Hong Lang; has she killed anyone?"

"Currently, there’s indeed no direct evidence proving she killed anyone with her own hands. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t killed..."

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "I understand. She’s the leader of a crime organization; how could she not have killed? How else could she establish her authority!"

"Yes! And there are also many who have died indirectly because of her!"

"..."

"Wanwan, do you feel sorry for her?" Qin Muchuan stroked her hair.

Lin Xiangwan looked at him with a bewildered expression. "It’s not that I feel sorry for her; I was never her daughter, and I have no idea how to be her daughter. She asked me to plead with you to give her a break, to not prevent her extradition to the USA, claiming that she would have a chance of survival if she goes back. I’m not sure whether to help her or not!"

Qin Muchuan smiled and looked at her openly. "Wanwan, I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with this. Hong Lang has always been our target for many years; our goal has always been to take down her and her organization. To tell you the truth, getting evidence of her crimes isn’t difficult. The difficulty lies in the sentencing laws of various countries. We’ve obtained solid evidence before, but conflicts with other countries have prevented us from bringing her down completely. I can even tell you that because she pays a huge amount of taxes to the USA annually, and her other businesses provide many job and development opportunities there, the US government might protect her. The result then might be that she could be released without charges... And all our past efforts would be in vain! We can’t have any slip-ups, so this time we’ve got the conditions to not allow her extradition. This time, we must hold her here!"

Lin Xiangwan nodded. "I understand!"

"Wanwan, I can’t help you. Will you be angry with me, do you feel alienated from me?" Qin Muchuan cautiously asked.

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "Of course not; I know you are on the side of justice, and I also know she is in the wrong!"

"Thank you, thank you for supporting my work!"

"It’s not just about supporting your work, but I must be clear about right and wrong. Wrong is wrong. If she could be helped, I would definitely help her. But now she’s lost the chance to be helped by others, and I can’t do it either." As she spoke, Lin Xiangwan’s tears fell. "The only thing I can do for her is to bring or send her whatever she wants to eat, whatever she needs. Beyond that, I really can’t do anything! Of course, if she really dies, I can help claim her body!"

"Mmhm!" Qin Muchuan gave a smile. He had indeed not misjudged her.

Li Hongge, who hadn’t gotten a response from Lin Xiangwan, asked the police to inform Lin Xiangwan that she wanted to see her again.

Lin Xiangwan agreed and promptly went there.

This time Lin Xiangwan went, she was even calmer than before. "Do you need anything? Just tell me, I’ll bring it to you the next time I come!"

"Haven’t you spoken to Qin Muchuan yet? To let me go!"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "When he and I are at home, we don’t talk about other matters!"

"Why not talk about it? If he won’t talk, you should! Don’t forget, I’m your mom; you can’t just stand by and watch me die, can you?" Li Hongge said with every sentence, insisting that she was her mother and that Lin Xiangwan wouldn’t ignore her.

Lin Xiangwan didn’t like to hear this. "Let’s just keep things official. He won’t go out of his way to make things difficult for you; you’ll just have to leave it to fate!"
