Chapter 539: Chapter 538 Luo Xiaolang Returns to His Country (Third Update)
Luo Xiaolang didn’t manage to get through to Yin Qin.
With a gritted teeth, she felt somewhat agitated.
Inside the nanny van leaving the competition spot, everyone was in high spirits. The match was a totally crushing victory. Most of the team members were in their twenties, and couldn’t hide their joy.
Except for Luo Xiaolang and Joe.
Joe had been observing Luo Xiaolang and had noticed her unusual behavior.
“What’s the matter?”
Xiaolang looked back.
“What happened? I noticed something was off before the match.”
“I’ve received a call from Ji Baixing. He said Yin Qin is currently looking for a lawyer to take custody of Little Tiger,” Luo Xiaolang said candidly.
Joe’s expression also changed.
Luo Xiaolang said, “I’ve really trusted Yin Qin too much. I always thought that no matter how bad he is, he couldn’t stoop so low. I thought if he wanted to take Little Tiger’s custody, he would do it openly, I didn’t expect him to play such a sneaky trick.”
“I’ll accompany you back to China,” Joe decided without hesitation.
Luo Xiaolang was taken aback.
“I’m booking the earliest flight back. We’re not far from Jin City, three hours, it’ll be quick.”
“No need,” Luo Xiaolang shook her head.
Once Yin Qin decides to snatch, going back now would be futile.
“You must go back,” Joe asserted.
“I don’t really need to, there’s a match next week, I should be completely focused on it this week.”
“Do you think you can focus?” Joe countered.
“I’ll try my best.”
“You were distracted even during such a tense match, do you think you can concentrate at all during training? Instead of wasting time dividing your attention, it’s better to go back and get to the bottom of this.” Joe said bluntly, “Personally, I don’t think Yin Qin is that bad!”
“Huh?” Luo Xiaolang was somewhat surprised.
“Although I have not interacted with Yin Qin, I think he is simple-minded, not someone who likes to scheme against others. So, I think there might be some misunderstanding here. If it’s a misunderstanding that affects your mood for the upcoming matches, I don’t think it’s worth it.” Joe’s expression was firm.
Luo Xiaolang fell silent for a few seconds. “It’s not a misunderstanding.”
Joe frowned.
“Yin Qin is indeed not a complex-minded person, nor the type who likes to compete with others for anything, but he has one fatal weak point.”
“You’re talking about Ji Baixing?”
“Yes.” Luo Xiaolang nodded, “He does whatever Ji Baixing says.”
“It’s not like he will obey blindly without distinction between right and wrong.”
“Nothing is impossible, Yin Qin is not himself in front of Ji Baixing. He can do anything for her. So, if Ji Baixing insists on getting Little Tiger, he will really take Little Tiger away. Moreover, Ji Baixing can’t have children now, may likely take Little Tiger away to make up for Ji Baixing’s lifetime regret.”
“If that’s the case, it’s really a bit tricky.” Joe admitted bluntly.
Luo Xiaolang looked at him.
“To my understanding, if it really comes to a tug of war, Yin Qin’s chances of winning are greater.”
“Why? Isn’t Little Tiger my child? Shouldn’t the child I gave birth to be with me?” Luo Xiaolang got a bit emotional.
“The court will not think so. The law will only consider who can provide a better environment for Little Tiger’s development. First of all, Yin Qin’s family’s conditions are better than yours, and he has a family whereas you are an orphan. The court will assume that you haven’t experienced family warmth and therefore don’t know how to convey affection to the child. Secondly, Yin Qin has a stable job with considerable income. As for you, regardless of how e-sports are currently promoted by the country, it’s still viewed as a game that can easily lead astray teenagers from an education perspective. Lastly, you often have to leave due to games. As soon as you’re gone, Little Tiger is left with no relatives around, which affects his physical and mental development. The fact that you left for a game abroad and had Little Tiger sent back to Yin’s family for care is an irrefutable fact! Furthermore, since Ji Baixing can’t have children, and Little Tiger is their only child, the court may rule in favor of giving custody to Yin Qin.”
Luo Xiaolang gritted her teeth, wishing she could strangle Yin Qin at that moment.
“If Yin Qin really premeditated this, then we’ve already lost this custody battle.” Joe analyzed, drawing the conclusion.
Luo Xiaolang really didn’t expect that Yin Qin had her send Little Tiger back to Yin Family’s care intending to take Little Tiger away, to let the court see that she indeed gave up on Little Tiger for games. She’s not a fit mom and doesn’t have the ability to take care of Little Tiger well.
“Therefore, it’s still essential to go back home to clarify the truth,” Joe reconfirmed.
In his heart, he believed that Yin Qin would not be so cunning and deceitful.
If Yin Qin really turned out to be so cunning, then he didn’t need to mince things for Luo Xiaolang anymore.
A man like Yin Qin wasn’t worth wasting time over.
Luo Xiaolang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.”
She knew very well that if she didn’t go back, she might feel distracted in the following days of training.
…
After his match, Luo Xiaolang booked the earliest plane and arrived in Jin City by 5 PM. As soon as he got off the plane, he rang Yin Qin again.
This time, Yin Qin picked up.
Seeings it was a call from Luo Xiaolang caused an emotional flutter in Yin Qin.
But he knew all too well that Luo Xiaolang wasn’t looking to talk to him. He was most likely calling about Xiaolang.
He tried his best to appear calm as he answered, “Xiaolang, about Xiaolang…”
“As for Xiaolang, don’t even think about it. I’m going to the Yin Family now. If you have time, join us. If not, I will take Xiaolang myself.”
“You’re back? Weren’t you participating in the match?” Yin Qin was confused.
“Yin Qin, I don’t want to hear a single word from you, neither do I want to believe you.” He then abruptly hung up the call.
Yin Qin frowned.
The next second, he quickly left his office.
On his way out, he ran into Ji Baixing.
Ji Baixin had come to hand him custody documents. She needed his signature for the upcoming court case. No matter what, she was determined to force Yin Qin to seize Xiaolang, even if it completely destroyed their relationship.
“Where are you going?” Ji Baixing, noticing Yin Qin’s haste, grabbed his arm.
Yin Qin glanced at Ji Baixing, “Luo Xiaolang is back. I’m going home.”
Ji Baixing was taken aback, then hurriedly said, “I’ll go with you.”
Yin Qin truly didn’t want Ji Baixing to tag along, but he didn’t feel like arguing with her now.
Yin Qin quickly drove off to the villa.
He arrived back-to-back with Luo Xiaolang.
Qin Keqin was shocked to see Luo Xiaolang’s return, she had just seen him on a live TV broadcast. But in the blink of an eye, he was standing before her.
She quickly approached him, “Xiaolang, you’re back? Weren’t you going to wait until the next match was over before returning? Why are you back now?”
“Auntie, where is Xiaolang?” Luo Xiaolang asked.
“He just fell asleep. Old Wu is watching over him…”
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Xiaolang rushed upstairs.
Qin Keqin was bewildered; watching her son quickly follow Luo Xiaolang and pull him back by the arm, he demanded, “What’s the matter with you? Speak clearly…”
Luo Xiaolang jerked his arm, and forcefully pushed Yin Qin away.
Luo Xiaolang’s brute strength was immense. Yin Qin was knocked over, a sharp noise reverberating through the space.
“Luo Xiaolang, are you out of your mind?” Yin Qin, gritting through the pain, asked fiercely.
Luo Xiaolang’s pace faltered slightly.
He said, “Yin Qin, be straight with me, are you trying to take Xiaolang away? Were you intentionally supporting me to compete in the game so that you could scheme something behind my back? Just admit it, there’s no need for these dirty tricks!”
Luo Xiaolang was unusually emotional.
It was rare for her to reveal her emotions so openly.
“What are you talking about…”
“Yes.” Ji Baixing standing beside Yin Qin suddenly spoke, “We indeed plan to bring Xiaolang back home.”
Luo Xiaolang’s face darkened.
Qin Keqin was now completely confused.
When was it decided that Xiaolang would be taken back home?!
She challenged angrily, “Ji Baixing, don’t talk nonsense. When did I say we’re taking Xiaolang from Luo Xiaolang?”
“Auntie, I didn’t have a chance to tell you yet, this is the decision Yin Qin and I made.”
“What?!” At that moment, Qin Keqin was truly furious.
She wished she could kill that goddamn son of hers, Yin Qin!
Is he so in love with Ji Baixing that he’s willing to betray everything?!
