The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 253 Looking for Hometown

It was already early morning when we returned to the Wen family's old house.

As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Ning Miaofu and Wen Qingqing sitting on the sofa.

Both of them were dressed in home clothes. They had obviously stayed up all night and looked tired.

"Didn't I tell you to get some rest early!" Wen Mochen was newly married and hurriedly strode to greet his wife.

"How can you let Miaofu and I feel relieved when you just leave in the middle of the night? Not to mention us, even mom stayed up all night with you."

Wen Qingqing looked at Wen Mochen with a hint of reproach.

Ning Xi suddenly felt guilty: "Mom, don't blame uncle, he is also worried about me and my brother."

Ning Miaofu was afraid that Wen Qingqing would blame her, so she hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Sister, this is all my fault. You don't know, they tried their best to protect me yesterday. Thanks to the careful arrangements, I was able to get married to Mo Chen smoothly."

Wen Qingqing sighed heavily: "How can I not know what's going on here? I'm just afraid that they will be too reckless and get hurt!"

Ning Xi and Wen Mochen looked at each other with a look of confusion on their expressions.

"Mo Chen Xiaoxi is back? Qingqing, why didn't you say anything?"

While talking, Mrs. Wen was helped out by the nanny. She was still wearing pajamas and her hair was a little messy.

"Grandma! Just rest early. Why wait for us?"

Ning Xi saw that her grandmother's eyes were also bloodshot, and knew that she had not slept well, so she hurriedly went up to help Mrs. Wen.

"If I don't keep an eye on you, why don't you keep my old lady in the dark about something?"

Although Mrs. Wen's face turned gloomy, she still felt sorry for her granddaughter and was reluctant to get angry with Ning Xi. She just rolled her eyes at Wen Mochen.

Ning Xi helped her sit down on the sofa. The old man held the armrest of the sofa tightly with his palms and looked at Wen Mochen with a cold face: "Tell me, did you catch that beast Wen Fuheng yesterday?"

Ning Xi was secretly surprised. As expected of her grandmother, she had keen insight. Although she was old, her vision was still steady and ruthless.

"Mom! There is nothing we can do. He has tried to harm our whole family several times! If we don't catch him this time, I'm afraid our whole family will be killed by him!"

Wen Mochen was afraid that Mrs. Wen would miss her family ties, so his tone was particularly stern and cautious.

"Do you think I'm an old fool?" Mrs. Wen let out a long breath: "I thought I didn't have this son a long time ago! He deserves it if he refuses to repent!"

Although she said this, Ning Xi still saw the looming tears in Mrs. Wen's eyes.

"Mom, I'm also afraid that you will be upset after hearing this and have already handed me over to the police."

As Wen Mochen spoke, he quietly looked at Mrs. Wen's face, fearing that the old mother would get angry and do something bad.

There was silence. Mrs. Wen took out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her moist eyes: "I have nothing to blame. Now that everything is settled, it is important for our family to live a down-to-earth life from today on!"

Wen Mochen and Wen Qingqing sent the old lady back to her room to rest. Ning Xi glanced at Ning Miaofu, who was going back to her room alone. She had already spoken a few words, but she still swallowed them.

She vaguely felt that the whole family seemed to have known about Ning Miaofu's life experience for a long time, and the impact of this incident was by no means as simple as yesterday's wedding incident.

Perhaps, the answer will be revealed soon.

After going back to her room and resting for a few hours, Ning Xi got up and went to the villa in the afternoon.

They were tired from attending the wedding last night, and Ji Yunxu and Qin Yu had just woken up.

Seeing Ning Xi coming over early, both of them were a little puzzled. Qin Yu was even more concerned about her health: "Xiao Xi, you were so tired yesterday. Why didn't you take a good rest? How can your body bear it?"

Ning Xi smiled: "Don't worry, I understand my body, it'll be fine."

Ji Yunxu's eyes were concerned: "Xiao Xi, you came here so early, do you have something to tell us?"

"I just want to go out, and I came here specifically to say that I was supposed to accompany you to play around." Ning Xi did not tell them the true purpose of going out this time, but simply apologized and explained a few words.

When Qin Yu heard that she was going out, she gave her many warnings, fearing that something might happen to her.

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Ning Xi felt at ease after hearing this. Having such a caring best friend was something she could only wish for.

A few people said a few more words before reluctantly parting ways.

Returning to the Wen family's old house again, Ning Xi simply packed her things and explained the whole story to her mother. Although Wen Qingqing was reluctant, considering that Wen Mochen had already agreed, she could only agree.

"Be careful on the road. James is also careless. If there is anything you can't take care of, be careful yourself."

When Ning Xi went out, she saw James waiting in the car with a travel bag beside him. She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you bring so many things?"

"Of course I prepared it for you. My second uncle told me just now that if I don't take good care of you, I won't have to come back!"

Ning Xi knew that he was just joking, so she didn't pay attention.

Soon, the car was on the highway.

Seeing that the scenery on the roadside was completely different from what it was back then, Ning Xi couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

When she was in school, often during winter and summer vacations, her grandfather would take her to the countryside, where the climate was pleasant and the environment was quiet.

Grandpa is busy with experiments that he can never finish, but Ning Xi likes to read under the shade of a tree, collect herbs, play games, and be happy alone.

Fortunately, despite the passage of time, the route in her memory was still very much the same. Ning Xi also had a good sense of direction since she was a child. Following the route on the mobile map, she basically found the right direction quickly.

After about seven or eight hours of journey, they arrived at a strange mountain village.

Seeing the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Ning Xi immediately determined that this was the place where her grandfather had taken her. She looked at the newly erected sign at the entrance of the village, Changliu Village.

"Xiao Xi, are you sure this is here? Why does it seem like no one lives here?"

James stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the quiet path around him. Ning Xi frowned slightly: "Follow me."

Following three twists and turns along the path, a half-new but not old village house suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.

Ning Xi, who was familiar with the door, found the key under the stone beside the door. It was intact and without any rust.

After staring at her dumbfounded for a while, James shouted in surprise: "I'll go! Xiao Xi, you have a secret base here, why didn't you tell me?"

The moment they pushed the door open, the two of them were choked and coughing. The inside was filled with dust and shredded paper everywhere.

All kinds of bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, which had obviously been severely damaged by someone.

Ning Xi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, and any warmth in her memory was gone.

No wonder, after my grandfather left in a hurry that day, he never came back again...
