Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Making a Phone Call

At that moment, she noticed a crowd of neighbors gathered at her door, staring at her house.

She immediately burst into tears, wailing pitifully, "My child is missing! Don’t you think I’m sad and heartbroken? How can she slander me like this? I’m the mother! I—"

Just then, someone in the crowd couldn’t take it anymore. "We can’t really see you being so sad and heartbroken. I heard you laughing in your house just yesterday! Oh, right, the smell of chicken from your place last night was so strong you could probably smell it a mile away. You were even fighting with your nephew over a chicken leg. I heard the whole thing loud and clear—"

The moment she said this, the eyes of the watching neighbors went wide.

"Is that for real?"

"It’s true. I smelled it too; that chicken was delicious. The Lan family’s kid was even crying that his aunt ate his chicken leg."

With a second person backing up the story, everyone now believed it.

"Tsk, her daughter is missing, and she can still stomach food."

"Exactly. If this were anyone else, wouldn’t the mother be frantic with worry by now?"

"Look at her, just staying at home, not even going out to search."

"Could it be she intentionally lost her daughter just to get revenge on the Qin family?"

...

The crowd’s back-and-forth criticisms made Lan Qingman furious.

"She’s my child! How could I possibly lose her on purpose? Are you trying to watch me die? Fine, then I’ll just die right here in front of all of you—"

The crowd: ...?

’Forget this. We can’t get tangled up in her meltdown.’

’Let’s get out of here—’

In an instant, the crowd scattered and was gone.

Lan Qingman’s face was dark as she slammed the door shut.

She gritted her teeth. "Sheng Shulan, that old bitch. She’s going to die a miserable death—"

She truly hated her ex-mother-in-law to the bone. ’Why can’t she just drop dead already?’

...

"Auntie, where are you going now?"

"I’m going to the police station first to ask about the situation. When I get back, I’m calling Qin Wenhao. He might not be in Beijing City, but he has a lot of connections. He’ll know what to do."
