“The kids have always been staying with me.” Ning Ran retorted immediately.
“From this incident, it’s obvious that you can’t even protect the kids. Do you want something bad to happen to them again?” Nan Chen looked at her coldly.
Ning Ran couldn’t find any words to reply.
“You mean, everything was my fault?” Ning Ran said.
“I didn’t say everything was your fault, but this incident indeed proved that you were not capable enough of looking after the kids. Children of the Nan family are different from the other kids. Everything they do will be observed and judged. If they continue staying in that low-class estate, it is easy for them to get attacked any time!” Nan Chen and Ning Ran started arguing at the dinner table.
Dabao and Erbao looked silently at each other.
“Your girlfriend was the one who caused it, not me! Furthermore, the kids were not kidnapped at my house. You can’t put all the blame on me!” Ning Ran raised her voice.
“This is not a matter of who caused it. The topic of discussion now is the safety of the children. It is safer for them to stay at the Nan family. We can’t afford to take any risks!” Nan Chen was already losing his patience. He thought that Ning Ran was selfish and possessive, without any regard for the children’s safety.
Ning Ran felt wronged, although indeed, she did not want to lose the rights of the kids to the Nan family.
But the kids were her flesh and blood. Was it wrong for a mother to want to be with her children? A mother did not want to lose her children because she loves them, how can that be called being selfish?
Suddenly, tears welled up in Ning Ran’s eyes.
Ning Ran was not an emotional person, but she just felt like crying at that instant. She just felt so wronged and she was no longer able to control her feelings.
“Mom……” Erbao was shocked. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Ning Ran.
“I am not staying at the Nan family!” Dabao, who was quiet until now, spoke up, expressing support for Ning Ran.
“I am not staying too! I will be with mom!” Erbao followed.
The kids thought that Ning Ran cried because she worried about them staying at the Nan family.
No matter how intelligent the children were, it was still difficult for them to grasp the actual reasons for the adults’ arguments.
Ning Ran’s tears stunned Nan Chen.
He did not think that he had said anything that hurt Ning Ran. Everything he expressed was merely facts and he was only thinking for the children’s safety.
Nan Chen was very well aware that he would not get lucky every time, to be able to have the children back.
“Mom, don’t cry. Dad! You are bullying mom.” Zheng Lunlun was upset with Nan Chen.
“Don’t join in the fight.” Nan Xing gave Zheng Lunlun a look and hoped that he would stop.
“Dad is bad!” Zheng Lunlun continued to give Nan Chen his angry stare.
“My dear Lunlun, please don’t make things worse!” Nan Xing was unable to stop Lunlun.
“Nan Xing, you are their father. What do you think?” Nan Chen gave Nan Xing a cold stare.
“Errrrrrrm……I……” Nan Xing looked from Nan Chen to Ning Ran and felt torn.
If he was honest with himself, he naturally hoped that the kids stayed at the Nan family.
But looking at the tearful Ning Ran, he couldn’t bear to say that.
Nan Xing thought that if he expressed support for Nan Chen’s idea, it would be two men ganging up against one lady.
“Do you wish to put your children at risk of being in danger again?” Nan Chen asked Nan Xing sharply.
“Of course I don’t wish for that to happen. Ning Ran, would you like to consider……”
“F*** you! Over my dead body!” Ning Ran cut him off before Nan Xing could finish his sentence.
Initially, she only felt wronged. But after Nan Xing joined in the conversation, she felt that the two men from the Nan family were ganging up to pressurize her.
Initially, she felt wronged; but now, she was exasperated.
“I gave birth to the kids and I raised them. Where were you people from the Nan family during all those times? Have you contributed a single penny or even anything? Now that the children are all grown up, you are here to take them away from me? Just because the Nan family is so wealthy, do you think you can bully a weak woman like me? Shame on you!” Ning Ran yelled.
Nan Xing mumbled gibberish under his breath.
Nan Chen felt awkward and took a deep breath. He didn’t expect Ning Ran to spout vulgarities. It seemed that the conversation had to stop here.
