Chapter 349 Age Questioned
"Of course!" Ruolan agreed almost immediately.
She hopes that Mengmeng can make many friends at school, which is why she brings her classmates home to play.
Ruolan continued, "You invite her over, and Mom will make you some delicious snacks."
"Next weekend," Mengmeng thought seriously. "My brother said he'd take me to the antique market again this week."
“Okay, next week then.” Ruolan replied, reaching out to stroke Mengmeng’s hair.
She couldn't help but glance out the window. It was already getting dark, and Tian Tian still hadn't returned.
She wanted to vent her frustration, but was worried it would affect Mengmeng. She pressed one hand against her chest, acting as if nothing was wrong.
……
on the road.
The more sweetly she waved her arms, the more thoroughly the passing vehicles drove away.
Looking at her was like seeing a raging flood or a ferocious beast, so he stepped on the gas and sped up his pace.
The more times it happened, the more agitated Tian Tian became.
"damn it!"
The swear words that slipped out left Tiger looking completely bewildered.
Is she really only four years old?
His tone of voice, word choice, and work style, upon closer examination, are not something a child could do; rather, they resemble those of a seasoned adult.
Tiger couldn't help but ask, "Are you really only four years old?"
The two of them had been standing there for almost half an hour. As Tian Tian listened to Hu Zi's questions, she instantly transferred her anger to him.
"What? You questioned my abilities back then, and now you're questioning my age?"
Are you afraid I'll question you?
Tiger didn't back down at all and retorted without hesitation.
There are too few geniuses in this world, so there must be other reasons for her actions that are beyond her years. Tiger knows that some people look young, but their actual age is far beyond what their appearance should indicate.
Sweetie watched as her eyes darted around and instantly understood what he was thinking.
"Are you wondering right now if I have dwarfism?" Sweetie asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Tiger didn't mince words, "Isn't that right?"
"Why don't you go back later and do some research on what dwarfism is really like?" Sweetie said confidently.
Tiger turned around and, through the dim streetlights, carefully examined Sweetie's appearance.
Her face is so young, and her eyes and brows exude a childlike charm. It has to be admitted that Sweetie really does look no different from a three-year-old.
"Not planning to flag down a car? Planning to stay here all night?" Sweetie watched as Tiger wasted his energy and time trying to figure out her age.
It had been four or five hours since she got out of school, and Tian Tian had no idea what was going on at the Gu family's house.
Thinking of this, she looked at the cars coming and going without stopping, and felt a surge of anger.
"Tiger?"
From his side and behind, he could faintly hear a woman calling out.
Tiger and Sweetie turned around at the same time to look at Ji Mengran, who was struggling to walk up from below.
"Why did you come here?" Tiger stepped forward and reached out to take her hand.
After climbing up the slope, Ji Mengran looked at the sparse vehicles on the road and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you haven't stopped any cars, so I came to see what's going on."
Sweetie snorted coldly, her tone reproachful, "Don't choose a place like this to meet again next time."
"Let's just meet at the school gate," Tiger added.
Sweetie realized he was saying that on purpose, just to make him unhappy.
"There's a signal here." Ji Mengran didn't reply, and took out her phone to check the signal strength, which had returned to full.
If I had known this would happen, I should have let her come in the first place.
Sweetie snatched her phone away and immediately called the repair shop.
"How did it go?" Ji Mengran asked as Tian Tian hung up the phone.
"They'll be here in ten minutes," Tian Tian said, turning and walking back the way she came.
She returned to the car, opened the door, and got in.
Ji Mengran stood by the car door, looking down at Tian Tian inside who looked dissatisfied.
"It was indeed my oversight today, and I will not make the same mistake again."
"Your mistake has caused me a lot of trouble."
Sweetie was feeling annoyed, wondering how she should explain things when she got back.
Could it be a kidnapping?
But if Gu Yinshen insists on chasing after the kidnapper to verify whether she is lying, it will create even bigger trouble and make the Gu family more cautious.
After much thought, Tian Tian decided to go back and tell the truth.
Half an hour later, the car was finally fixed.
On the way back, Tian Tian closed her eyes to rest, knowing that there was still a tough battle to fight when she got back to the Gu family.
"Mengran, get out of the car and wait for me at the coffee shop across the street." Hu Zi parked the car on the side of the road.
Hearing the sound, Tian Tian looked up and around. She said, "I'll get off here."
Given Gu Yinshen's current suspicions about her, she cannot allow anything related to them to be exposed to him.
Tiger didn't refuse; after she got out of the car, he immediately drove away.
Sweetie stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi.
Seeing that she was riding in a taxi alone with a child, the driver couldn't help but ask, "Child, are you not accompanied by a parent?"
"Can't I sit without a parent?" Sweetie asked.
Upon hearing this, the driver, seeing her quick wit, immediately smiled and replied, "Of course not, I was just asking casually."
He's just a driver; making money is his most important thing.
After Tian Tian got in, the driver asked, "Where to?"
“Police station!” Sweetie said.
I thought she would go home or to a training course or something, but I never expected her to go to the police station.
The driver couldn't help but look up and glance at Tian Tian in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
A sense of gossip stirred within him, and the driver asked curiously, "What are you going to the police station for so late?"
Sweetie looked up at the rearview mirror and met the driver's gaze through the mirror.
The driver felt a chill run down his spine and quickly looked away, focusing on the road ahead.
He's just a kid, why does he look so fierce?
The driver was puzzled but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The taxi soon stopped in front of the police station.
After dropping a hundred-yuan bill, Tian Tian nimbly got out of the car.
Bang~
The driver felt a chill run down his spine. If it weren't for the money, he would have wanted Tian Tian to get out of the car right then and there.
Upon entering the police station, Tian Tian went straight to the lobby.
The police officer on duty saw Tian Tian's small figure enter from outside and immediately stood up from his seat to greet her.
"Little girl, what brings you to the police station so late?" The officer on duty crouched down and asked Tian Tian gently.
Sweetie said, "I can't go home!"
Upon hearing this, the police immediately asked, "Where did you get separated from your parents?"
