Mu Shaoling then went upstairs and knocked on the door.
Taotao's childish voice came from the bedroom, "I'm asleep."
Mu Shaoling's movements stopped abruptly. Ruanruan saw his frown and comforted him: "Dad, don't worry about my brother. He won't be angry for more than one night."
Listening to his daughter's sensible words, he sighed, touched the child's head, and said, "Dad still has something to do, you take care of your brother."
"I understand, Dad." Ruanruan nodded.
Mu Shaoling walked back to the study. Every night, he would deal with the affairs of T Group. In the past two years, the group had grown bigger and bigger, and more and more responsibilities fell on his shoulders.
After Ruanruan left, she knocked on the door and said: "Taotao, I am your sister, let me in."
Taotao's voice came, "Sister, I'm asleep."
Listening to his angry voice, Ruanruan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't you want your father to sleep with you today?"
"I don't need him to accompany me, I went to bed by myself, sister, I'm so sleepy!" Taotao responded from inside, opening the closet and finding her biggest schoolbag.
Ruanruan listened to what he said and knocked on the door again.
Taotao resolutely did not open the door.
She sighed and said, "Okay, sister, I won't disturb your rest, Taotao, see you tomorrow."
Taotao rolled his eyes, stood on a small stool, and pulled the clothes on the wardrobe. He planned to run away from home and attract his father's attention!
After packing up his clothes, he stuffed his favorite books and snacks into his schoolbag, smashed the piggy bank and took out the saved money.
After everything was ready, he lay on the bed and counted the time.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Mu family's old house was very quiet, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Taotao gently opened the door and looked at the corridor. Only a dim lamp was shining on it. He saw that the study door was ajar and there was still light coming out from inside.
He tiptoed over there, gently pushed open the door, and saw Mu Shaoling already lying on the sofa bed, falling asleep without turning off the light.
Taotao smiled, returned to the bedroom, picked up her small schoolbag, picked up her own small bag, and escaped from the Mu family's old house.
The old house was in a remote place. After walking for a while, he felt so tired that he simply threw the study on the ground and sat on it, panting.
"So tired." Taotao looked at the schoolbag beside him. Knowing that he would be so tired, he would not bring so many things.
After leaving his old house, he realized that he had nowhere to go.
Taotao squatted on the roadside and said to himself, "Should we go back?"
In an instant, he shook his head and rejected his idea, "No, I can't go back, it would be too embarrassing!"
So he simply dozed off against the wall with his small schoolbag in his arms.
There were no taxis passing by here at night, so he had to wait until daytime to leave!
The next day.
Taotao woke up among a group of people watching. He rubbed his eyes, looked at a group of adults surrounding him, and asked doubtfully: "Uncle and aunt, what are you looking at?"
One of the men doing morning exercises knelt down and asked him, "Kid, why are you sleeping here? Are you lost?"
"I'm not lost." Taotao stood up, picked up his schoolbag, and dusted himself off.
One of the ladies looked at his clothes. If he could afford to wear children's clothes of this brand, he must be a child from a wealthy family. She asked kindly: "Child, tell aunt, where is your home? Auntie will take you back."
"
When Taotao thought about going back, she thought of Mu Shaoling educating her yesterday, and immediately shook her head, "No, auntie, I won't go back."
"You are a child who is in danger outside. How can you not go back?" The lady looked at him. There are so many human traffickers who abduct children. It would be a pity if such a beautiful child fell into their hands.
Thinking about it, her love became even more overwhelming, "Come, Auntie's car is parked over there, I will take you back."
The old man doing the morning exercise also agreed: "Yes, you are so young, what should you do if you encounter bad people outside alone? Your parents will definitely be worried, so go back."
"Auntie, I don't want to go back to my dad's house, I want to find my mom." Taotao said with a deliberately aggrieved expression.
He didn't want to go back to his old house with these people, so he had to sell it to the poor.
When several people heard this, they suddenly realized that it turned out to be a child from a single-parent family. This child must have been sentenced to his father, but his father was not good to him, so he went to find his mother.
He probably escaped and got lost, so he had to sleep on the roadside for one night.
Taotao rolled her eyes and held the lady's hand, "Auntie, I know my mother's address. Can you call a taxi for me? I have money."
When the lady saw that he looked so cute and cute, with his dark eyes as bright as black pearls, her heart suddenly softened.
"Isn't it too dangerous for you to take a taxi by yourself?" she said.
"No, usually taxi driver uncles are good people. Besides, aunt, please leave me a phone number and write down the taxi's license plate number when the time comes. When I get to my mother's house, I'll call you to let you know it's safe!" Tao
Tao thought of a way to reassure her.
"Are you sure you want to take a taxi? Don't you need me to take you there?" the lady asked.
"Auntie, you have to go to work, so I won't disturb you. I'll just take a taxi." Taotao blinked. He didn't even know where he was going. If he asked him to send him there, his lies would definitely be exposed.
expose.
"Okay." After hearing this, the lady stood on the side of the road and stopped a taxi.
She asked Taotao to remember her phone number and the taxi's license plate number. She gave the driver a hundred-dollar bill and said, "Please, please send this child to his mother."
"Don't worry." The driver nodded in agreement.
The taxi drove forward slowly. When Taotao was asked about the location by the driver, he casually gave an address.
That was the address where Ruan Bai often took him to.
After hearing this, the taxi driver murmured: "Okay, kid, sit tight, I'll take you there now."
"Thank you, uncle driver." Taotao said sweetly, making the driver happy.
After arriving at the location, Taotao took out money from her small schoolbag and wanted to give it to the driver. The driver shook his head and said, "The lady who just put you on the bus has already given it to you. Get out of the car and go find your mother."
"Okay, thank you, uncle driver." Taotao thanked him again and did not insist on paying. After all, he had to fight Mu Shaoling to the end, so he needed money.
The driver opened the back seat door and watched him jumping out of the car. He looked around again and asked, "Where's your mother?"
"My mother lives in that community!" Taotao pointed at a nearby community casually, blinked and said, "Mom doesn't know I'm coming yet, so I can just go up there."
