Jing Zhi felt that since that night, Shi Sheng's state was a little strange. She was always absent-minded. When he asked her what was on her mind, she would just give him a brief answer.
"Xi Xi." Jing Zhi walked to Shi Sheng's side. Before he could speak, the door was suddenly knocked open and Zhu Feng rushed in.
"Young Master Jing, something happened."
Jing Zhi frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
"Ye An … Ye An and Ye Ran." Zhu Feng panted and pointed outside, "Someone insisted that Ye An is their son and now they want to take him away."
"Lead the way." Shi Sheng turned around expressionlessly and walked out of the door.
Zhu Feng hurriedly led the way.
Ye An was in a market where people could freely exchange goods. A group of people surrounded the area so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
On the way, Zhu Feng had already told Shi Sheng what happened.
They were going out for a stroll today. Ye An also wanted to go, so they brought him along. Who knew that they would meet a couple in the market. They stopped Ye An and said that he was their son and daughter.
Ye An said that he didn't know them and the couple started to quarrel.
Shi Sheng squeezed into the crowd and saw the couple in dirty clothes at a glance. Although their faces were thin, he could still recognize that they were the people that Shi Sheng saw in the bakery album.
"Sister." Ye An saw Shi Sheng coming over and immediately hid behind her.
"Who are you? Give my child back to me! " The woman reached out and dragged Ye An, "This is my child. You human traffickers, give my child back to me."
Shi Sheng protected Ye An and took a step back. He looked at the woman coldly, "Your child?"
His eyes were so cold that the woman couldn't help but feel guilty. But when she thought that this was her child, she didn't feel guilty.
"This is my child. His name is Ye An and he was born on May 6, 2004. Her name is Ye Ran and she was born on October 15, 2012. "The woman shouted loudly," Give my child back to me. "
The onlookers immediately whispered to each other.
"I think this child looks a little similar to them. Could it really be her child?"
"Well … he does look a little similar."
"Look at this child. He's dressed neatly, and he's also fair and chubby. He doesn't look like he's ever suffered. If my child is treated like this, I'd rather she be with someone else. "Someone sighed.
The man held the agitated woman and pleaded, "Please return the child to us."
"Those are our children. Why are you begging them?" the woman screamed. "It's only right that we want our children back."
Shi Sheng curled his lips into a half-smile. "You left your children at home to save your own lives. Why didn't you consider that they were your children back then?"
The woman and the man froze.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Many people in the base had lived there since the establishment of the base, so they had brought their families here. They still had familial ties in their hearts, and they felt that it was shameful to abandon their children like this.
"We …" The woman looked around. The crowd was pointing at her, and she couldn't find anything to say.
The man's face was full of grief. "We went out to look for food. We wanted to go back to pick them up after we found food, but we didn't expect to run into a flood. We couldn't go back to where we lived. We had no choice."
Ye An grabbed Shi Sheng's clothes and looked at his parents without saying a word.
"Yes, yes, we had no choice. An An, it's your mother. Come here. I'm here." The woman tried to squeeze out a smile. "An An, I'm here to take you and your sister home."
Ye An shrank behind Shi Sheng. He had begged them to take his sister away, but they had abandoned him in the end. Could he trust them now?
No …
No.
He didn't trust them.
His sister had said that people were habitual offenders. As long as they did something once, it would be easier for them to do it the second time.
"We're very grateful that you brought our children here, but you can't keep them. We are their parents. Children should grow up with their parents."
"Ye An, are you willing to go with them?" Shi Sheng looked down at Ye An.
Ye An shook his head.
"Look, it's Ye An who doesn't want to go with you." Shi Sheng spread his hands.
The woman pointed at Shi Sheng and shouted, "You must have said bad things about us to my son. Now my son doesn't recognize us. How can you be so vicious? You stole someone else's son. Give him back to me!"
"When you abandoned my sister and me, we had nothing to do with each other." Ye An's voice was very loud, and the crowd suddenly quieted down. "If it weren't for my sister, my sister and I would have starved to death. You wouldn't have been able to see us at all."
As a child, he didn't even have the ability to protect himself, let alone take care of a baby.
There must be someone to protect him since he was able to come here alive.
Ye An's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't stop his tears from flowing out.
The man immediately bowed and said tearfully, "We know that you saved our son. We are really grateful to you, but we only have two children. Please give them back to us."
The woman also seemed to have an epiphany. She knelt down with a plop, kowtowing and begging, "Please give us back our children. Please."
"Captain Han, it's Captain Han."
The crowd suddenly parted, and Han Yu came in with a few people. "What's going on?"
Mu Xin stood beside Han Yu. Her eyes swept from Shi Sheng to Jing Zhi for a moment, and finally fell on the couple. She said in surprise, "Brother Ye, Sister Ye, what are you doing?"
The Ye couple was probably very familiar with Mu Xin. Father Ye whispered a few words to Mu Xin.
"Since this child is Brother Ye's, Miss Jing, you should return him to Brother Ye." Mu Xin said righteously, "Children should be with their parents. You forcibly took away someone else's child. Aren't you breaking up their family?"
Be reasonable, Female Lead!
Before Shi Sheng could speak, Mu Xin continued, "Miss Jing, if you return the child to Brother Ye, I will compensate you with supplies."
She said it as if Shi Sheng didn't return the child because the Ye couple didn't give them anything.
If Shi Sheng and his people were dressed sloppily and looked sallow and emaciated, the onlookers might believe it. However, they were dressed neatly and didn't seem to be short of supplies.
Mu Xin's words had no effect.
They raised their children so well. Would they be interested in the supplies you gave them?
Shi Sheng thought seriously, "How many supplies can you give me? One car or two? "
The onlookers: "…" Pfft, girl, your style is wrong!
Shouldn't you be disdainful?
However, compared to disdain, this car of supplies was even more strange.
People's lives were not worth much now. Who would exchange a cart full of supplies for two children?
