The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1053 - 440: Lu Wangshu Goes Out to Find Mom on His Own

Xu Qian did not understand how significant that "maybe I did something wrong and made her angry" could be to lead to Song Qiao’s disappearance since yesterday.

She had doubts in her heart, but seeing her son’s expression, the words were stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken.

The ward was very quiet. Assistant Xue had already gone out to handle the discharge procedures. Although staying in the hospital was best for Lu Jingchen, since he had decided to leave, there was nothing they could do to stop him, right?

After Lu Jingchen finished his porridge, his gaze fell on Lu Wangshu beside him. The things Song Qiao had said before, including the decisions she made, had caught him completely off guard.

He had no idea why she had suddenly made these decisions.

Decisions... to divorce him.

Lu Wangshu put down his small spoon, picked up a napkin to wipe himself, and when he looked up, he saw his father staring at him. Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze, he wriggled his small body before obediently saying, "Dad, I’m done eating..."

Lu Jingchen snapped back to reality, looking at his son with slightly dark eyes, but said nothing, just hummed in acknowledgment, "Later, you’ll go home with Grandma first."

Lu Wangshu responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "What about Mom? Is Mom at home now?"

The man’s body stiffened, he looked down at his son, and his hand in his pocket couldn’t help but clench. After a moment, he finally spoke, "Your mom won’t be coming home for now. I’ll take you to find her another day, okay?"

Although Lu Wangshu didn’t quite understand, he had heard his father’s words just now. After thinking about it, he nodded obediently, but his heart already had a bold idea.

...

After leaving the hospital, Lu Jingchen went straight to the company, throwing himself entirely into work, while Xu Qian took Lu Wangshu back to the villa.

In the afternoon, a call from the old house informed Xu Qian that Lu Tianming had woken up.

Xu Qian would have been content just knowing this, but the butler said that Mr. Lu needed to see her, insisting she return today. Reluctantly, she agreed after some thought.

Lu Wangshu was sitting on the sofa, practicing his writing with a pen. After Xu Qian hung up the phone, she directly asked him, "Xiaoshu, do you want to go see Grandpa with Grandma?"

Lu Wangshu put down the pen, looked at Xu Qian, and decisively shook his head, "I won’t go. I’ll wait at home for Dad to get off work."

Although Aunt Chen had gone out to buy groceries, Xu Qian was quite assured about Lu Wangshu, knowing her grandson was very intelligent, different from children his age, even smarter than the average child, with a high sense of safety.

After thinking about it, she gently patted his small head and spoke, "Grandma has to go see Grandpa about something. You stay at home and don’t run around. Aunt Chen will be back soon from buying groceries, don’t leave the house, understand?"

Lu Wangshu nodded seriously immediately, "Got it, Grandma!"

Xu Qian quickly left, and as soon as she was gone, the little guy stood up and ran directly to the study on the second floor.

A few minutes later, he came downstairs with a backpack and a small children’s smartphone in his hand.

Once on the first floor, the little guy opened his backpack and took out a piggy bank and a particularly exquisite wallet, which he had "commandeered" from Uncle Xicheng, and it was filled with a lot of his New Year’s money he had saved up.

He also had a bank card given by Grandpa, with tens of thousands in it according to Grandma. He didn’t know exactly how much that was, but guessed it must be quite a lot. He didn’t bring the bank, instead, he had hidden it in his room.

He took out a hundred yuan from the wallet, put the piggy bank and wallet back in the bag, then slung the backpack on his shoulders and headed for the door. Due to his height, he couldn’t reach the door handle, so he dragged a stool from the side, climbed up on it, and opened the door.

...

Ten minutes later, Lu Wangshu stood at the roadside outside the villa area, looking at the time on his phone, and furrowed his little brows impatiently, looking quite like Lu Jingchen.

He pouted and muttered at the phone, clearly having booked a taxi online before leaving, yet there was no sign of it still.

While dissatisfied and considering whether to file a complaint online, the sound of a car engine came from nearby. He looked up and saw a taxi approaching, raising his small hand to wave vigorously.

Soon, the taxi stopped by his side but didn’t open the door for him. Instead, the window rolled down slightly, and the driver leaned out to ask, "Hey there, little one, what brings you here?"

The driver uncle appeared friendly and didn’t seem like a bad person. After a careful look, Lu Wangshu lifted his little head and asked, "Aren’t you here for a pickup?"

The taxi driver nodded, "Yes, this is a wealthy area, though I’m not sure who booked a taxi online..."

"That was me. I just booked it," the little guy declared.

The driver was taken aback and, after scrutinizing him, laughed with disbelief, "You? Little friend, was it really you who booked the taxi?"

The little guy immediately nodded, "Of course it was me. Don’t you see I’m the only one waiting here? Open the door, I need to get in. Otherwise, I’ll file a complaint against you."

The taxi driver didn’t open the door immediately but asked again, "Where are your parents, little one?"

"My dad is at work; I need to find my mom." He was growing impatient and stomped his foot anxiously, "Are you letting me in or not? I’ll call to complain if you don’t let me in."

The driver chuckled at his insistence, starting to believe he had indeed booked the taxi online, and promptly opened the back door.

Once seated inside, Lu Wangshu, though initially indifferent, felt immensely relieved. He handed his phone to the driver, "Uncle, could you please take me to this place? My mom is there."

The phone displayed an address he had found earlier by sneaking a peek at his father’s computer in the study. He had taken a picture of it.

The driver glanced at the address, recognizing it immediately, but couldn’t help advising, "Little one, going out alone is really dangerous."
