The Second Love

Chapter 364 I Rushed To Save Your Sister

In addition to being dumbfounded, I was also at a loss for words. "No, Lou, did you and Mohan go to track Yurou?" I asked. Lou yelled into the phone, "Sis, have you been pregnant and clueless for three years? Get the facts straight, okay?!" I was itching to retort, but my mom suddenly reached out and snatched the phone away. Her action was so swift that I didn't even have time to react. I could only hear my mom shouting into the phone, "Son, say it again to Mom." I sighed, realizing that this matter wouldn't be resolved today. In my opinion, Yurou was already twenty-one. It was perfectly normal for her to date and engage in some close activities beyond friendship.Although she never mentioned whether she had a boyfriend or not, I remembered when I was with Dominic Hartnell, I kept it a secret from my family at first. At this point, Lou probably already spilled everything to my mom. I heard my mom anxiously instructing, "Hurry, you and Xiaohan go and intercept Yurou. Don't let her go upstairs to a hotel room with someone!" "I'm coming right away. You must stop her and wait for me!" After saying this, my mom handed the phone back to me and rushed towards the bedroom. I didn't care about the phone anymore and casually threw it on the sofa, following her. However, I couldn't walk fast. When I caught up, my mom had already closed and locked the door from the inside. I tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. I had to stand outside the door, holding my belly, knocking and shouting, "Mom, why did you lock the door? What are you going to do?" "Mom, don't be impulsive. Why don't you call Gianna Zanetti first?" "Yurou is already in her twenties. She has her own judgment. Don't..." Before I could finish speaking, the door clicked open. My mom glared at me angrily and scolded, "Why am I being impulsive? I'm rushing to save your sister!" I couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Mom, you're exaggerating. After hearing you, it feels like Yurou has been kidnapped." My mom glared at me again and said, "She's not really kidnapped, but it's almost the same." "You said it yourself, Yurou is only twenty-one years old, with a bright future ahead of her. If she gets deceived, it would be a disaster!" "There are so many malicious people and scammers in society nowadays. Yurou is beautiful but lacks experience, making her susceptible to sweet talk and deception."My mom bombarded me with words like a machine gun, leaving me speechless. "Mom, are you saying Yurou is naive and can't distinguish between good and bad people? She's a student at a prestigious university, shouldn't she have some discernment?" My mom was already putting on her shoes, raising her hand to dismiss my concerns. "Regardless of her discernment, I can't just ignore this matter once I know about it." "You, Gianna Zanetti, entrusted her to us for care. How can I explain if something happens?" "Alright, you stay at home. I'll go and bring a few kids back." My mom got dressed and prepared to leave. I grabbed her arm and said, "I'm going too. I can't leave you alone." My mom tapped my head impatiently. "What are you going to do with your big belly?" "If something unexpected happens, we still have to take care of you. Don't cause trouble for me. Stay at home!" I refused to let go and insisted, "If you don't let me go, then you can't go either!" Seeing my mom's displeased expression and her brewing anger, I quickly added, "Mom, I just want to see what the situation is. With only a few of you, the old and the young, how can I feel at ease?" "Rest assured, I'll take care of myself when the time comes. I won't recklessly charge ahead." My mom had no choice but to agree in the end. The two of us hailed a taxi as soon as we left the block and headed straight to the hotel Lou mentioned. By now, I assumed he and Mohan had already intercepted the person. I hope nothing goes wrong. In the car, I once again suggested that my mom call Gianna Zanetti.But she said that distant water couldn't put out a nearby fire. Calling now wouldn't help, so it would be better to wait until we bring the person back home. I thought about it and realized she was right. Gianna Zanetti and the others couldn't fly back in an instant. Driving fast would also be unsafe. Fortunately, there was no traffic at this time, and the hotel Lou mentioned wasn't far. In just twenty minutes, my mom and I arrived at the location. As soon as we got out of the car, I saw Lou, Mohan, Yurou, and an unfamiliar man sitting on the couch in the hotel lobby. Just by looking at it, the atmosphere didn't feel pleasant. My mom saw it too. She told me to slow down and not to rush, but she herself hurriedly ran into the hotel. After my mom and I went in, the unfamiliar man stood up. He was quite polite, smiling and nodding at us as a way of greeting. Then he turned to Yurou and said, "Since your family is here, you should go back with them first." "After you go home, explain everything clearly. If there are no issues, we'll continue as usual tomorrow. I'll wait for your call." Yurou pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just nodded. After the unfamiliar man left, only our own people were left. My mom went forward and grabbed Yurou, looking her up and down, asking if she had been taken advantage of. But Yurou was obviously angry. Not only did she not respond, she forcefully shook off my mom's hand. If it weren't for Lou quickly reaching out to support her, my mom might have fallen to the ground. "Yurou, what are you doing? My mom is just concerned about you!"Yelled at by Lou, Yurou also exploded, "You don't know anything, why are you making a fuss?" "You even followed me, is that called concern?" Lou angrily retorted, "If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you afraid of being followed?" "If it weren't for you being my cousin, who would care about following you!" "You can hang out with whoever you want, it's none of my business!" Yurou's eyes turned red, "Who's hanging out with anyone? Don't slander people!" Seeing that the argument was getting out of hand and it was in a public place, I quickly walked between the two. "Alright, is it nice to have so many people watching? Let's go home and talk." "Lou, be more careful with your words, don't be so reckless." "Yurou, even if there has been a misunderstanding, we are still worried about you and don't want you to be deceived. Please calm down, let's go home first, alright?" "No!" Yurou shoved me aside and exclaimed, "You're intentionally doing this, all of you are bullying me!" As a result of that push, my balance abruptly became unstable, causing me to take two steps back and forcefully collide with the back of the sofa. The sudden pain caused me to panic, and I gradually lost strength, ending up sitting on the ground.
