 Chapter 1

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°What did you guys say? Is Jiang Chen really back?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en held her belly and panted as she was about to give birth. She couldn¡¯t stand up straight because of the pressure in her belly. The triplets she was carrying had put a heavy burden on her petite body, but when she heard the news about the man, even the pain seemed to have subsided.


    ¡®Is he really back? Is he back because I¡¯m about to give birth?¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t help but be ecstatic when she thought of this. She didn¡¯t even realize that her hands were shaking. After all, Jiang Chen was the children¡¯s father in her belly.


    Since Su Zhi¡¯en got married, she had only seen him for a day, and they hadn¡¯t seen each other again after that¡ª it was Jiang Chen who impregnated her when he left.


    ¡°My babies, Daddy just doesn¡¯t like Mommy, but he still cares about you guys! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come home when you guys were about to be born.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes were gentle as she touched her belly. She really loved Jiang Chen and their children.


    At night, Su Zhi¡¯en did not prepare to rest as she usually would. Instead, she couldn¡¯t hide her excitement as she kept looking at the door. She heard that Jiang Chen was on the flight home that night.


    ¡°Master Jiang has returned!¡±


    As the servants shouted, Su Zhi¡¯en quickly stood up. However, the moment she stood up, her face immediately turned pale. She saw that more than one person was standing at the door.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, you unfilial son! I asked you to come back to accompany your wife as she gives birth. Why did you bring another woman back?¡±


    Old Master Jiang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Jiang Chen.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I mean? I¡¯ve never admitted that Su Zhi¡¯en is my wife. This marriage is a joke. The person I want to marry has always been this woman, Tong Jingxian!¡±


    Jiang Chen was wearing an indigo high-cut suit. His handsome face was as perfect as though it had been carefully sculpted, and his black eyes were even more dazzling. Jiang Chen looked at his birth father with a provoking gaze. It was as though he was using his marriage to make his point.


    When Old Master Jiang heard this, he was so angry that he could no longer stand up. He pointed at Jiang Chen and scolded angrily, ¡°Do you still have a conscience? Zhi¡¯en is about to give birth. It¡¯s been hard for her to carry these three children for you, and she is in constant need of oxygen. She¡¯s always anxious and uneasy throughout the day. Listen to yourself!


    ¡°Let me tell you, the Jiang family only has one daughter-in-law, and that is Su Zhi¡¯en! Other random women will not be allowed to enter this home!¡±


    Jiang Chen sneered, ¡°So what if you allow it or not? Just like when you let Su Zhi¡¯en into our home, did I allow it? As for the three children, if you didn¡¯t drug me on our wedding day, they wouldn¡¯t even exist! Su Zhi¡¯en and her children aren¡¯t even worthy of being a member of the Jiang family.


    ¡°Without the children that Father expects and without the wife whom a husband loves and respects, I really don¡¯t know how some people would still want to remain in this home.¡±


    The son angered Old Master Jiang so much that he couldn¡¯t speak. Su Zhi¡¯en, who was standing beside the sofa behind Old Master Jiang, also didn¡¯t utter a single word. Jiang Chen¡¯s every word was like a knife stabbing into her heart¡ª she felt that she couldn¡¯t breathe again.


    In fact, she really couldn¡¯t breathe. The world in front of her eyes had turned dark. All she could think about was Jiang Chen¡¯s words¡ª she wasn¡¯t worthy.


    ¡°Ah! Oh my goodness, Young Madam is bleeding!¡±


    ¡°What?¡±


    As if they didn¡¯t exist, the quiet servants panicked when they saw Su Zhi¡¯en collapse. Even though Old Master Jiang didn¡¯t care, everyone else in the Jiang family home knew how much Su Zhi¡¯en cared about her pregnancy. They noticed that Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s feet had unknowingly been covered in blood. In an instant, the entire Jiang family home was in shambles.


    Blood flowed down Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s legs and onto the ground. The womb of a woman carrying triplets could not tolerate too much stress. The slightest mishap would result in a dead body and three lives. Moreover, Su Zhi¡¯an was in her third trimester. Jiang Chen¡¯s expression could not help but change¡ª he did not want Su Zhi¡¯an to die.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, the thing that was an eyesore to you is finally gone. Heh¡­¡±


    The moment before Su Zhi¡¯en closed her eyes, she said to Jiang Chen, ¡°All my expectations and love for you have vanished at this moment. All that remains is despair.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s last words were also the first words Jiang Chen heard. It was the first time she had spoken to him. Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard these emotionless words. He subconsciously clenched his fists. However, before Jiang Chen could say anything, the large group of people had already lifted the pale-faced Su Zhi¡¯en and left the Jiang family home.


    Ten minutes later, the unconscious Su Zhi¡¯en was laid on the cold operating table.


    ¡°Ah Chen, you don¡¯t have to worry. This has nothing to do with you. It¡¯s already the twenty-first century, yet you are still in an arranged marriage. It¡¯s ridiculous, and you even used such underhanded methods.¡±


    At that moment, Jiang Chen and Tong Jingxian were the only ones left in the hall of the Jiang family home.. Tong Jingxian was about to continue persuading him, but Jiang Chen, who had never lost his temper toward Tong Jingxian, suddenly yelled, ¡°Shut up! You don¡¯t have the right to interfere in the Jiang family¡¯s matters!¡±

 Chapter 2

    Jiang Chen interrupted Tong Jingxian fiercely. At that moment, his gaze became incredibly terrifying. Seeing this, Tong Jingxian couldn¡¯t help but tremble. She didn¡¯t say anything else, but as she lowered her head, her gaze became distorted, and she cursed in her heart.


    ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en, you¡¯d better not come back. You¡¯d better die on the operating table with the children in your belly! Otherwise¡­¡¯


    Three hours later, the lights in the hospital¡¯s operating theater finally dimmed.


    ¡°Master Jiang, I am truly sorry. When the pregnant woman was sent over, she had suffered a serious hemorrhage, and her amniotic sac ruptured. There were three children in her womb. We were only able to save one. We¡¯ve done everything that we could.¡± The doctor held the only surviving baby in his arms and announced the news with regret.


    When Old Master Jiang heard the news, his entire body staggered. He felt as though the world was spinning as he fell onto a chair. He had three grandchildren and one daughter-in-law, but only one survived.


    ¡°Old Master Jiang¡­¡±


    The family was in chaos once again. When Jiang Chen heard the news, he had already left with Tong Jingxian and was heading to his private apartment. Jiang Chen¡¯s hand holding the steering wheel paused slightly when he received the news.


    ¡°She¡¯s dead?¡±


    ¡°Yes. The hospital said that she was already in poor health and held on for a long time. The severe bleeding instantly took her life, but one of the three children in her womb was saved and was brought back by Old Master Jiang. It¡¯s a boy.¡±


    After the assistant finished explaining the details over the phone, he was worried that Jiang Chen would not believe him. The assistant even took photos of the bodies of one adult and two children and sent them over.


    Jiang Chen parked his car by the roadside and looked at the pictures on his phone. He was silent for a long while. Although he was expressionless, the veins on the back of his hands revealed his thoughts.


    Five years later, at a top private hospital in Country R.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was wearing a white coat and standing under a big screen. She explained a case study in a fluent foreign language in the meeting room, and in front of her was a group of hospital specialists. Su Zhi¡¯en had a low ponytail, and her delicate face only had light makeup. Her skin was as white as snow, and she stood out from the crowd.


    ¡°So, what Dr. Bai means is that this patient doesn¡¯t actually need surgery but only requires acupuncture to achieve full recovery? A young doctor in the crowd was the first to ask.


    ¡°Yes! Surgery is not the only solution.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en gave a faint smile and nodded. However, her smile did not reach her ears, making people feel that it was not sincere.


    That¡¯s right, Su Zhi¡¯en was now Dr. Bai¡ª Bai Zhi, to be exact.


    Five years ago, God did not let her die that night because the doctor managed to save her. However, she hoped that the doctor would officially declare her dead. She did not want to go back to the Jiang family, and she did not want to see Jiang Chen anymore¡ª she moved to Country R.


    Relying on the traditional Chinese medical skills that her mother passed down, she took her mother¡¯s surname and changed her name to Bai Zhi. Here, she was an excellent doctor and worthy of her grandfather¡¯s mantle. She had been following her grandfather around since she was young, but she only knew how to read medical books when she was younger.


    At this time, when the experts in the meeting room heard Bai Zhi¡¯s affirmative words, they were a little hesitant about whether or not they should use Bai Zhi¡¯s method. However, Bai Zhi did not wait for their reply. She looked at the time, tidied up her things, and left immediately.


    ¡°Is Dr. Bai picking up her child at this time?¡±


    ¡°I believe so.¡±


    Bai Zhi hurried downstairs. When she saw her colleagues greeting her, she simply nodded and continued to rush over to pick up her child. At this moment, she was already running late.


    Twenty minutes later, at Angel Kindergarten.


    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re so late today!¡± Bai Yuning stood at the kindergarten entrance, which was already empty. Bai Yuning was wearing a pink dress and a little red hat with braided hair on both sides. She looked thrilled when she saw her mother.


    Seeing this, Bai Zhi quickly went over to coax her little child. This child looked like a lady, but she had an arrogant attitude. Bai Yuning was a very difficult child to coax.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Baby. I lost track of time in the meeting today, but I promise that I won¡¯t be late next time. Will you forgive me?¡± Bai Zhi held Bai Yuning¡¯s tiny hand and sincerely asked for forgiveness.


    ¡°Okay then, I¡¯ll forgive you this time. Oh, right, Brother bought me a lot of snacks just now, which I¡¯m usually not allowed to eat!¡±


    Bai Yuning looked at her mother with a smug look in her eyes. She was hinting to her mother that if she were ever late again, she would get hungry and have to eat something that Bai Zhi usually didn¡¯t allow her to eat.


    Hearing this, Bai Zhi tapped Bai Yuning¡¯s little nose helplessly. She didn¡¯t even need to think about it. Bai Yuning must have run away from her brother, forcing him to look for her.


    However, her brother must have other ways to prevent his sister from eating junk food. As Bai Yuning¡¯s twin, her brother was really sensible and took good care of his sister, as though he was a little adult.


    Bai Zhi let out a big smile. Only in front of the children did Bai Zhi have a genuine smile. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go see what your brother has bought for you.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Yuning nodded vigorously.


    A few minutes later, Bai Zhi finally found her son. However, why did her son, who the teachers always praised, look so proud and disgusted?


    ¡°What a coincidence! Why does the kid who is about to transfer into our school look so much like Bai Yu¡¯an?¡±


    ¡°That does seem to be true now that you¡¯ve mentioned it.¡±


    The teachers held the photos and compared them to Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s small face..

 Chapter 3

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s small eyes looked at the person in the photo with disdain. Then, he pinched his own face and asked, ¡°It doesn¡¯t look like me at all. Does he have a fleshy face like mine?¡±


    The teachers replied, ¡°No.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an then pointed at the corner of his eyes. ¡°Then look at how good I look when I smile. My watery eyes are charming. Does he have eyes like mine?¡±


    The teachers replied, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Hmph.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an crossed his crossed arms and nodded his head in satisfaction. His stern look made the teachers laugh.


    However, after such a comparison, the teachers felt that Bai Yu¡¯an and the boy in the photo were not very similar. After all, Bai Yu¡¯an was like a ray of sunshine. He was adorable and handsome. As for the boy in the photo, he had a straight face, and there was no childlike innocence in his eyes. Instead, it looked as though he was angry and gloomy. However, a child should never be that angry and gloomy.


    ¡°Yu¡¯an? What are you doing over there?¡± Bai Zhi looked at this scene and asked curiously.


    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re here! I didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡±


    When Bai Yu¡¯an heard his mother¡¯s voice, he smiled very sincerely and ran straight to his mother. He was really a child who loved to smile. His smile was bright, just like a ray of sunshine. His facial features simply struck a striking resemblance to that boy in the photo, but Bai Yu¡¯an was not as cold or gloomy as that other boy.


    ¡°Really?¡± Bai Zhi skeptically asked her son.


    Bai Zhi looked at Bai Yu¡¯an suspiciously. ¡°Last time, you told everyone to pretend to be sick so that you could go out to play. Did you honestly do nothing wrong this time?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong!¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an looked helpless. ¡°What happened last time was all a big misunderstanding. How could such a smart and elegant young man like myself do something like that?¡±


    If Bai Yu¡¯an wanted to go out and play, he would first crash the school¡¯s computers and then think of a way to avoid being caught by the surveillance cameras.


    ¡°The teachers just thought that I was too cute and called for me. Okay, let¡¯s go home quickly. I¡¯m hungry. Mommy, you¡¯re really late today. Do you see any other children outside?¡±


    Bai Zhi remained silent. She had no choice but to endure the child¡¯s playful ridicule. Bai Zhi was wrong in this matter. Bai Zhi greeted the teachers and took the children home.


    As soon as they entered the house, Bai Zhi was about to prepare dinner when she received a call from the hospital saying they agreed to use Bai Zhi¡¯s method to treat their patient.


    ¡°Are we proceeding with the treatment now?¡±


    Holding the phone, Bai Zhi looked down at the two children, who gestured that they were hungry. She sounded hesitant.


    ¡°Yes, the patient¡¯s family has arrived. They rushed over as soon as they received the news from the hospital. They are all waiting for you as we speak, Dr. Bai.¡±


    At the end of the conversation, the nurse sounded helpless. They worked in a private hospital, so the patient¡¯s family could summon the doctors as they wished, just because they were rich. The family members could not care less about what the doctors were doing, and the doctors had to be at their service immediately. Bai Zhi had no other choice, so she agreed to take the treatment. She needed this job and the money.


    ¡°Yu¡¯an, Mommy needs to go to the hospital. Can you bring Yuning along with you to go and have dinner? Mommy has prepared a small cake for the two of you. I promise I¡¯ll make a nice big meal for you two when I get back.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an patted his small chest. ¡°No problem! Don¡¯t worry, Mommy. We¡¯ll be careful, and we will be waiting for you to come home.¡±


    Like a little adult, he walked his mother out. Bai Zhi felt that she could be at ease knowing that Bai Yu¡¯an was around. However, Bai Zhi didn¡¯t know that right after she left, Bai Yu¡¯an, whom she was most at ease with, went straight into her study.


    ¡°Yu¡¯an, what are you doing? Mommy said that she¡¯s allowing us to eat cake.¡± Bai Yuning had another identity¡ªshe was a foodie.


    ¡°Sit down and eat your dinner. You¡¯ve gained weight recently.¡±


    ¡°The teachers showed me a photo today. The person in that photo looks exactly like me. I have to hack into the principal¡¯s computer so that I can see what¡¯s going on for myself.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s expression was serious. Within a few minutes, he managed to hack into the Principal¡¯s computer and found the information he was looking for. If Bai Zhi had seen this, she would definitely be shocked because the boy in that photo was her child. In essence, Bai Yu¡¯an and the boy in the photo looked alike.


    ¡°He really looks exactly like you, Yu¡¯an!¡±


    When the photo was revealed, Bai Yuning was still angry at Yu¡¯an for saying that she had gotten fat. She saw that the boy in the photo wore a petite suit. His entire mouth was circular-shaped.


    Although the boy looked like her brother, she still recognized him because her brother didn¡¯t have a suit and never wore one. Her brother hated to wear suits, and she did not know why.


    Bai Yu¡¯an had a scrutinizing look in his eyes. ¡°Jiang Wei.¡±


    ¡°Brother, could he be the boy in that small box? Is he also my brother?¡± Bai Yuning thought of something and turned to look at Bai Yu¡¯an in shock.


    Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning were both aware of a box that their mother had secretly hidden. She often opened it and cried when she was alone. When their mother was not at home, Bai Yuning and her brother had previously opened it to take a look.


    Inside the box was a small piece of clothing that looked like it had been worn. The clothing did not belong to them as their mother would not secretly cry with their clothes in her hands. Bai Yu¡¯an did not answer his sister. He only memorized the address and information that was on the computer screen.


    Meanwhile, Bai Zhi had already arrived at the hospital.


    ¡°Where are the patient¡¯s family members?¡±


    The nurse looked at the panting Dr. Bai Zhi with a pained expression. The nurse knew that Dr. Bai Zhi was a single mother and that her two children probably had not eaten yet.


    ¡°They¡¯re in the director¡¯s office. Dr. Bai, be careful. That particular family member has a bad temper and seems to be senile..¡±

 Chapter 4

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Bai Zhi nodded in acknowledgment of her colleague¡¯s kind reminder. She tidied up her white coat, put on her mask, and walked into the director¡¯s office.


    ¡°Dr. Bai Zhi, you¡¯re finally here. The patient¡¯s family has been patiently waiting for you for a while.¡±


    The Director immediately stood up when he saw Bai Zhi. The patient¡¯s family members were tough to talk to. He was already old and had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen anyone be so condescending toward doctors.


    The look of disdain that the patient¡¯s family member gave the Director made him feel as though he was the plague. Now that the Director saw Bai Zhi, he felt as though his guardian angel had arrived, so he quickly invited Bai Zhi in.


    If it weren¡¯t for the patient¡¯s background and the people supporting them, the Director would not be interested in helping them.


    When Bai Zhi turned to look at the person across from her, Bai Zhi¡¯s usually indifferent expression suddenly changed. This was considered a drastic change in her expression five years later. From that night onward, other than when she was with her children, Bai Zhi¡¯s expression had not changed at all.


    ¡°Director, is this the fine doctor you mentioned?¡±


    Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman also stood up. She was tall and had exquisite makeup on her face. She had a mischievous expression on her face when she looked at people. She also had a high and mighty temperament as she constantly looked down on people.


    It was Tong Jingxian. She had a completely different temperament in front of Jiang Chen. However, this was something that Bai Zhi already knew.


    ¡®So the patient I am going to be treating is her? Or is it someone related to her?¡¯


    Bai Zhi¡¯s eyes turned cold. Even though she was wearing a mask, the director could feel Dr. Bai Zhi¡¯s sudden change in demeanor.


    Su Zhi¡¯en and Jiang Chen had indeed been in an arranged marriage back then. Strictly speaking, it was a marriage alliance. After they were born, the parents of both parties had arranged a marriage between their children. At that time, Su Zhi¡¯en really didn¡¯t take the marriage seriously, even though she liked Jiang Chen.


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t have to marry him. However, something happened to Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s family later on. Her family was destroyed, and she was alone. Old Master Jiang didn¡¯t abandon her as the others did. Instead, he brought Su Zhi¡¯en back and attempted to clean up the Su family. He even allowed Su Zhi¡¯en to marry into the Jiang family and legally move in, giving her a home.


    At that time, Su Zhi¡¯en was lying when she said that she wasn¡¯t moved. Her feelings for Jiang Chen had also changed. However, she didn¡¯t expect that later on¡­


    Su Zhi¡¯en took a deep breath and pulled herself back from her memories. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I just remembered that something was wrong. I made the wrong plans.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± The hospital director¡¯s mind was confused.


    ¡°What I mean is that I can¡¯t treat her illness. Let¡¯s get another doctor to handle this situation.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en blurted this sentence and turned around to leave. The hospital director was stunned. He became even more confused.


    When Tong Jingxian heard this, her expression changed immediately. She had raised her ambition in the past few years. Jiang Chen had also supported her during that time. When had she ever suffered such grievance?


    ¡°I rushed over when I received the call. You dare to turn your back on me?! Do you know who I am?¡± Tong Jingxian¡¯s words were full of warning.


    However, Su Zhi¡¯en ignored her. She pushed the door open and left.


    ¡°What is with her rotten attitude? Who does she think she is? Does she think highly of herself? Why doesn¡¯t she want to acknowledge me?!¡± Tong Jingxian was so angry that she stomped her feet.


    ¡°No, Madam Jiang, please don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll look for her now. We will treat Master Jiang Tomorrow.¡± The Director simply comforted her and proceeded to turn around to look for Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Madam Jiang? So Su Zhi¡¯en was supposed to be treating Jiang Chen? So, they were alive and well after all. It was such a pity.


    Su Zhi¡¯en left quickly. She did not even change out of her white coat. She sat in the car, her hands shaking as she held the steering wheel.


    ¡®What¡¯s wrong with me?¡¯


    It had been five years, but she had never taken the initiative to think of them. She thought that she had forgotten about them, but it turned out that she had not.


    To say that she had forgotten about them was just a lie. How could she live with hatred day in and day out? It was just that she wanted to kill that woman just now and then finish the job by executing Jiang Chen with a thousand cuts.


    ¡®Jiang Chen, why are you still alive? How could a person who would rather step on the bones of his child be worthy of living? Jiang Chen clearly knew that I was about to give birth. At that time, he had provoked me because he wanted me to die along with the children in my womb.¡¯


    Jiang Chen¡¯s words rang in Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s ears once again like a curse.


    Su Zhi¡¯en had changed her name to start a new life, but that woman¡¯s appearance made her return to the hatred-filled Su Zhi¡¯en in the past¡ª Bai Zhi was like a dream to her.


    It took a long time for Su Zhi¡¯en to calm down before driving home. When she got home, the children were already asleep. When she saw her children, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s hostility immediately vanished.


    ¡°Is Mommy back?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an muttered as he was half asleep.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en lowered her head and kissed the two children gently. ¡°Yes, Mommy is home.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an seemed to have gotten an answer as he was half asleep and continued to sleep even more peacefully. Su Zhi¡¯en looked at the two children and fell silent again. She got up and went to the study room to make a call.


    ¡°Wanling, do me a favor. Go to the hospital tomorrow and¡ª¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en booked three tickets to Country H while contacting her good friend Ba Wanling..

 Chapter 5

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Meanwhile, on the top floor of a high-class hotel in Country R.


    Jiang Chen looked at the woman who was crying in front of him. His long legs were crossed, as his pristine white shirt was not wrinkled. He exuded an elegant and menacing aura. After settling down for five years, this man became even more outstanding.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s assistant, Ming Ze saw that Tong Jingxian was crying the whole time and noticed his boss¡¯s impatience, so he immediately asked¡ª however, he kept addressing her as Miss Tong instead of Madam Jiang.


    ¡°Miss Tong, so you¡¯re saying that this so-called top-class private hospital doesn¡¯t live up to its reputation at all? Even the doctors are phonies?¡±


    ¡°Yes, if I hadn¡¯t gone there myself, I wouldn¡¯t have found out that the best hospital in Country R, which is supposedly known as the capital of medical treatment, would be just an empty shell.


    ¡°The young doctor¡¯s attitude was horrible. I only asked her a few questions, and she ended up scolding me. Did she think that I didn¡¯t understand her? She even said that she had never thought of treating Jiang Chen at all!¡±


    Tong Jingxian added fuel to the fire and portrayed everything that had happened that day. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be able to swallow her anger. As expected, when Jiang Chen heard this, his eyes turned malicious.


    ¡°What is the name of that doctor?¡±


    ¡°I knew that her surname was Bai, but she was very easy to find because she was the only Chinese medical doctor in their hospital.¡±


    Tong Jingxian couldn¡¯t wait to tell him the news. The viciousness in her eyes was as though she wanted to kill the other party immediately.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s expression was indeed unsightly. He had had severe insomnia for several years. Recently, his condition has worsened. Even regular doses of sleeping pills were no longer effective.


    Insomnia combined with the long-term use of sleeping pills caused major side effects. His temperament became more and more violent. He even wanted to kill some people at one point. If his condition weren¡¯t so untreatable, Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t have needed to seek the help of this particular hospital.


    But what kind of doctor would think of not treating him?


    ¡°Ming Ze, go and investigate Dr. Bai Zhi. I want to see what her deal is.¡±


    Ming Ze nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Also, tell Shi Hao to come and see me.¡± Shi Hao was the old hospital director.


    Ming Ze accepted the orders and immediately headed out to handle them. When Tong Jingxian saw this scene, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smug smile. ¡®How dare the young doctor be arrogant toward me? Who does she think she is?¡¯


    Meanwhile, Su Zhi¡¯en was extremely restless because of the woman she saw at the hospital that day. She did not look at her cell phone, nor did she realize that someone had called her multiple times. She had muted her cell phone.


    The alarm clock rang at three in the morning. Only then did Su Zhi¡¯en wake up to see seventy-eight missed calls. For a moment, she thought that she was dreaming. It was the hospital that kept trying to reach her.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was not from the emergency department, nor was she from the Western wing of the hospital. The hospital had never called her in the middle of the night before, but now she had seventy-eight missed calls. This could only be because of the woman from yesterday.


    Thinking of this, Su Zhi¡¯en instantly became determined. ¡°Children, hurry up and get up. Let¡¯s go out for a trip today.¡±


    The two children narrowed their eyes and mustered up all their strength to struggle out of bed. Their little voices were soft. ¡°Go out on a trip? Hmm? We¡¯re going out to play!¡±


    When they realized what they would do, they immediately bolted up. Bai Yu¡¯an asked, ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t you have to go to work? Don¡¯t we have to go to kindergarten either? Where are we going?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to Country H. I¡¯ve booked all the plane tickets. Isn¡¯t this a surprise?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en answered her son¡¯s question while helping the two children to get dressed. They had to leave immediately. If not for the earliest plane ticket to Country H being at three o¡¯clock in the morning, she would have left with her children at any other time of the day.


    When the two kids heard that they were going abroad for a vacation, they were incredibly excited. They finished packing up in ten minutes and set off. At that moment, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s phone rang again. It was her good friend Ba Wanling.


    Before Su Zhi¡¯en could speak, a clamor was on the other side. Her good friend, Ba Wanling¡¯s voice, was mixed in the middle of the clamor, ¡°Oh my goodness, Bai Zhi, what happened to you? A bunch of people came rushing into your consultation room. The other staff members thought that those people were going to tear your office apart. It was so chaotic. Are you asking for leave again at this time? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s expression was not good either.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I already told the patient that I couldn¡¯t treat him. He¡¯s probably there to look for more information. Do not worry. Since that is the case, you have nothing to worry about.¡±


    Ba Wanling was skeptical. However, Su Zhi¡¯en did not say anything else. Si Zhi¡¯en hung up the phone, carried the two children into the car, and drove to the airport.


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t want to expose herself. She had no intentions of seeing Jiang Chen again for the rest of her life, and she couldn¡¯t let the Jiang family know about the two children. Besides, Su Zhi¡¯en knew very well that she could not stand up to the Jiang Family, one of the top three business empires in the world.


    Su Zhi¡¯en had asked Ba Wanling to help her hide the information, but it was too late. ¡®Who would have thought that that b*stard would send someone to kill me in the middle of the night? Was he crazy? Why was he making such a big deal out of this?¡¯


    Indeed, a bitter man like Jiang Chen would never change.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was nervous throughout the drive to the airport, and she was still worried. ¡°Yu¡¯an, take care of your sister. Mommy needs to go and change the boarding pass.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an nodded obediently. He could see the nervousness in his mother¡¯s eyes. When Su Zhi¡¯en had gone to change the boarding pass, she wasn¡¯t sure what was happening. She was unlucky in everything she did. Finally, she managed to get into the queue, but the automatic exchange machine malfunctioned..

 Chapter 6

    Su Zhi¡¯en had no choice but to queue up again at the manual labor counter. When she was next in line, the staff member at the counter checked Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s ID and said, ¡°Is this information correct, Dr. Bai Zhi? I¡¯m very sorry. We¡¯ve received news that you¡¯ve been restricted from leaving the country.¡±


    The staff member saw that the hospital¡¯s name had appeared on the news, so she added to the conversation. ¡°If you have any inquiries, please speak to the authorities or ask your hospital for more details.¡±


    Hearing this, Su Zhi¡¯en was stunned. She felt as though she heard things.


    ¡®I¡¯m not a criminal, and I haven¡¯t broken any laws. Why am I restricted from leaving the country?


    ¡°F*ck!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t help but swear. When she heard the staff member speak about the hospital and ask her if she was a doctor, Su Zhi¡¯en instantly understood. ¡°That b*stard, I haven¡¯t seen him for five years, and his influence has grown. He even managed to make the airline restrict me from leaving the country. He even found out that I was going to travel to Country H.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an, who was waiting for Su Zhi¡¯en, paid close attention to his mother. He pulled his sister over when he saw that his mother was not in a reasonable frame of mind.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Mommy?¡± Bai Yuning asked.


    ¡°Huh? It¡¯s probably nothing!¡± Bai Yu¡¯an replied.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was so angry that she began to feel a little dizzy. When she heard her son shout, she immediately gathered her thoughts. She still had the children with her. It was acceptable if Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t escape, but she couldn¡¯t allow Jiang Chen to find out about the children. If that b*stard discovered her, she would be in serious trouble.


    Su Zhi¡¯en then kneeled in front of the children. ¡°Yuning, I¡¯m very sorry. Mommy has some matters to attend to at the moment, so I can¡¯t take you abroad to play. I¡¯ll ask Aunt Wanling to pick you up later, Okay?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning fell silent. Although the two children were still young, they could see the panic and guilt in their mother¡¯s eyes. ¡°It¡¯s okay, and you won¡¯t have to worry, Mommy. We¡¯ll take good care of each other.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning nodded their heads in assurance.


    This made Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes well up with tears. She hugged the two children tightly and sent them to the coffee shop where she and Ba Wanling often went. She then proceeded to send a message to Ba Wanling.


    At this moment, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s phone rang once again. It was a call from the hospital¡¯s director. He wanted her to return to the hospital immediately.


    Su Zhi¡¯en sorted out the two children and drove to the hospital. She wasn¡¯t afraid of seeing Jiang Chen, but she couldn¡¯t let him find out about the children. She was worried that Jiang Chen would take the children away from her. Even though he didn¡¯t like Su Zhi¡¯en and didn¡¯t care about the children, he might attempt to take the children away from Su Zhi¡¯en. She didn¡¯t owe Jiang Chen anything, and she never wanted to see him again.


    ¡®I have even moved halfway across the world, so how was Jiang Chen able to find me? I can¡¯t possibly bring my children to a strange country, can I? However, it has already come to this.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en began to calm down, returning to her usual cold and distant demeanor. Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already waited in the director¡¯s office for a long time. In his hands were Bai Zhi¡¯s work permits. He had a half-smile on his face, and his gaze was like that of a wild beast, ready to attack.


    ¡®Bai Zhi was indeed from a medical family, given her medical name. It would be easy for a descendant of a medical family to fake their death.¡¯ Jiang Chen had greatly underestimated Su Zhi¡¯en.


    ¡°Master Jiang, Dr. Bai Zhi has arrived and will be with you shortly.¡± Seeing Jiang Chen¡¯s expression, Director Shi Hao was so scared that his voice trembled. Then, he looked at Assistant Ming Ze and asked, ¡°Is everything okay?¡±


    Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t able to sleep last night. He had traveled back and forth between the hospital and the hotel multiple times. As for Ming Ze¡ª who was being questioned, he didn¡¯t dare utter a word. Ming Ze was quite frightened at this time.


    He didn¡¯t know if Jiang Chen was okay. Ming Ze knew that when Jiang Chen found out about the death of Su Zhi¡¯en and the two children, he had personally selected three caskets¡ª Su Zhi¡¯en and the two children were then buried in the name of the Jiang family.


    In the past five years, Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t even mentioned his marriage to Tong Jingxian. So, Ming Ze really wasn¡¯t sure if there was anything wrong with Jiang Chen. When everyone was immersed in the terrifying atmosphere of the waiting room for more than half an hour, there was finally a sound outside the director¡¯s office.


    ¡°Director, I¡¯m back.¡± Upon hearing this, Director Shi Hao hurriedly opened the door as though it were a timed sport.


    Jiang Chen was still holding Bai Zhi¡¯s work permit in his hand. His pupils constricted when he heard this as he immediately opened the work permit from the middle. ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en, we finally meet.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en had already anticipated this moment. She took a glance at the man in front of her. It had to be said that Jiang Chen was inherently good-looking. No matter how much he aged, he would remain handsome. His facial features were distinct, his eyebrows were as sharp as blades, and his eyes sparkled as though they were stars. Even though his eyes were bloodshot at this moment¡ª like that of a wild beast, the natural nobility and elegance were still present in his demeanor. However, no matter how good-looking he was, the fact remains that he is simply a b*stard.


    ¡°Director Shi Hao, what did you call me here for?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s voice was cold but clear. She glanced at the b*stard before turning to look at the director. It was as though she had never met that b*stard before, and it did not cause her the slightest bit of disturbance.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s gaze changed. He looked at the woman who had finally appeared in front of him. She was wearing a white coat and a mask. The murderous look in his eyes became even more intense.


    ¡°Dr. Bai Zhi, this is Master Jiang. He¡¯s the patient who was searching for you yesterday. Hurry up and take a look at him.¡± The Director couldn¡¯t wait to get this matter over with.


    ¡°Director, I have already made myself very clear yesterday. I have read the wrong case file. I cannot treat this person. You can look for another doctor to handle this case.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en turned around and left without any hesitation.


    Director Shi Hao and Ming Ze were shocked..

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Before the Director and Ming Ze could react, Jiang Chen had already stood up from behind them. He quickly walked over, grabbed Su Zhi¡¯en, attempting to leave, and slammed her against the door.


    At that moment, Su Zhi¡¯en felt as though Jiang Chen had broken her back. Medicine wasn¡¯t the only thing she should¡¯ve studied for the past five years. She should have learned basic martial arts as well. If so, she could have beat the b*stard to his death right now.


    As for the Director and the assistant, they chose to keep their mouths shut. They were utterly dumbfounded.


    ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en, do you want to play? Fine, I¡¯ll play along.¡± Jiang Chen was undoubtedly enraged. He wasn¡¯t aware of the twisted expression on his face. Jiang Chen resembled a wild beast, prepared to tear its prey apart at any given moment¡ª his prey being Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Ripping off her face mask, Jiang Chen saw Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s true face appear in front of him. Jiang Chen let go of her hand and proceeded to strangle her neck. Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s entire face raised as she began to breathe heavily. Jiang Chen took a good look at Su Zhi¡¯en. She seemed to have a completely different demeanor.


    ¡®As expected of someone who had died five years ago, she still looks as dumb as ever.¡¯


    Even as death was approaching, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face remained indifferent. It looked as though she was not the one who was about to be strangled to death. She looked at Jiang Chen as though she had no ties with him, and like he was a stranger, cold and even disdainful. Seeing her react this way, the furious Jiang Chen was utterly stunned.


    ¡®She shouldn¡¯t be reacting this way.¡¯


    ¡°If you¡¯re going to strangle me to death¡­ then so be it¡­ I advise you to get this over with quickly¡­ I have already died once¡­ D-Do you think I¡¯m afraid of dying a second time? Let me tell you. If you don¡¯t kill me today, sooner or later, I will be the one killing you!¡±


    Jiang Chen felt that this woman was purposefully infuriating him to death. She was constantly challenging him. In an instant, Jiang Chen¡¯s grip became even tighter. He couldn¡¯t control his rage and anger.


    ¡°Director Jiang! Please let go. If you continue to strangle her, the doctor will die!¡± Seeing this, Ming Ze had no choice but to stop him. Jiang Chen had undoubtedly lost his mind. Ming Ze felt as though he had used all of his strength to get Jiang Chen to release Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Su Zhi¡¯en survived and was rescued by the assistant. She sat down on the ground, clutching her neck as she coughed and tried to catch her breath.


    ¡®This b*stard¡¯s temper has gotten worse. What an animal!¡¯


    It took a while before Su Zhi¡¯en was able to calm down.


    ¡°I can¡¯t strangle you to death just yet. It would seem that you didn¡¯t die five years ago. What about the two children? They didn¡¯t die either, right? Where did you take them? What right do you have to raise my children secretly?


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about walking out of here alive.¡± Jiang Chen tried his best to suppress his anger. He asked calmly, but every word he spoke was as cold as ice. The murderous rage in his heart did not dissipate at all.


    When Jiang Chen thought about how he had been the cause of three lives back then, he blamed himself and regretted it. Later on, he treated his only surviving son very well. Jiang Chen tried his best to make things right with his son. He also didn¡¯t tell anyone about his marriage to the other woman.


    Now that he thought about it, Jiang Chen felt like a complete fool. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and his blood pressure was rising. Jiang Chen had never suffered such a setback. It was all very amusing.


    Su Zhi¡¯en, who was currently sitting on the ground, looked up and sneered at Jiang Chen, ¡°I¡¯m not dead just as you thought I was. I am so sorry for disappointing you!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en looked at Jiang Chen coldly. ¡°Jiang Chen, I am not indebted to you. It was okay that I was married to you, but you impregnated me and left me with those three children in my womb. Was I the one who forced you to do that?


    ¡°You could have chosen not to marry me and refuse to show up at the wedding! It¡¯s all because you didn¡¯t have the guts to fight against your family. You¡¯re using your incompetence to shift the blame onto me.


    ¡°That¡¯s all you can do. Do you think you¡¯re innocent? Why are you taking your hatred out on me? I wasn¡¯t the cause of this! Is marriage between families something that I alone can decide? You¡¯re not entirely innocent.


    ¡°Your thirst for love and freedom on that day almost caused me and my children to die on the operating table. I have never pretended to be entirely innocent, so why don¡¯t I deserve to live?¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡± At this moment, Jiang Chen was so shocked that he couldn¡¯t utter a single word in retaliation.


    But even so, the sarcasm on Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face became even more apparent. ¡°What a pathetic animal you are! I faked my death just to fulfill your thirst for love and freedom. You brought Tong Jingxian to the Jiang family home and said you were in love with her.


    ¡°So I decided to surrender and give up my position in the family to her. You ended up becoming a widower, and the Jiang family couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Isn¡¯t that right? You should be thanking me instead.¡±


    Jiang Chen looked at the woman in front of him, and for a moment, he didn¡¯t seem to recognize her.


    ¡®When did she become so sharp-tongued? Every word she said was as sharp as a knife¡ª stabbing me in the heart.¡¯


    The current Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t seem to be as submissive as she used to be. In the past, Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t even dare to raise her head when she saw Jiang Chen, let alone talk to him. At this moment, everyone could see how livid Jiang Chen was.


    ¡°This is priceless. You still feel like you¡¯re the victim in this situation, huh? Men, take her back to the hotel!¡± Jiang Chen held his anger in for a long time before saying this.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s expression changed when she heard this. ¡°What right do you have?! I¡¯m a citizen of Country R. This is a violation of diplomatic law!¡± Jiang Chen sneered and retorted, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you what rights I have. It¡¯s because I¡¯m here. I am the law!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re the law? I think you¡¯re an idiot that is blind to the law! Who do you think you are! It was you who wanted me dead back then, and now you won¡¯t let me go. It¡¯s the twenty-first century.. Do you think you can still have three wives and four concubines? Let go of me, you arrogant man! Where are you taking me?!¡±

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Su Zhi¡¯en was being carried to the hospital¡¯s first floor by the bodyguards, Jiang Chen, who was on the third floor, could still clearly hear her cursing¡ª her curses were as colorful as a rainbow.


    Ming Ze looked at his boss as he held his forehead. However, he could not hide the cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He was so scared that he immediately lowered the sound of his heavy breathing. He was afraid that his boss would kill him to stop him from breathing so loudly.


    Ming Ze never imagined that his boss¡¯s former wife would change drastically over five years. It was a scary sight to see. Ming Ze was just a part-time worker, and he couldn¡¯t handle it.


    Meanwhile, in a high-end apartment, Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning had been brought back home by Ba Wanling. ¡°Alright, you two, I have to go and open up the shop¡¯s doors. You two stay here and play. I will buy you some delicious food when I get back. I will buy you food that your mother usually won¡¯t allow you to eat.¡±


    Bai Yuning was the first to nod in agreement. Of course, Bai Yu¡¯an, who was a bit more mature, also nodded. However, as soon as Ba Wanling left, Bai Yu¡¯an immediately ran to the phone.


    ¡°Brother, are you going to call Mommy?¡± she leaned on her brother¡¯s shoulder with her chubby little face.


    ¡°Yes, I want to know if mommy is really in the hospital.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an reacted faster and calmer than Bai Yuning.


    After saying that, he dialed the number of the hospital that Su Zhi¡¯en worked at. Bai Yuning seemed to have thought of something, so she opened her mouth and waited for someone to answer the call. After more than ten seconds, Yuning looked at her brother and put down the phone with a frown. ¡°Mommy is not in the hospital.¡± Bai Yuning fell into silence.


    ¡°Mommy lied? Where could mommy be if she was not in the hospital?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an felt that something seemed a little off about his mother today. He went straight into Ba Wanling¡¯s study without further delay and turned on the computer. His chubby fingers clicked and clacked on the keyboard, and soon, the surveillance footage of Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s hospital appeared in front of his eyes.


    However, the surveillance footage only displayed public areas. Bai Yu¡¯an saw that his mother had indeed entered the hospital. When she appeared again, she was being carried out by a big man dressed in black.


    Meanwhile, on the top floor of a particular high-class hotel, Su Zhi¡¯en had been cursing Jiang Chen ever since she was brought in. It was as though all of Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s resentment and hate over the years had been unleashed. It was also a great regret that she didn¡¯t scold Jiang Chen to death in the past.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, no matter what you think, I still won¡¯t be able to treat you. I can¡¯t wait for you to be sick all year round! You¡¯ll die as an incomplete being.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was then dragged to the top floor. She pointed at the bastard in front of her and continued to curse. However, before Jiang Chen could retort, a small figure walked out from the other side of the living room.


    The person looked at Jiang Chen and said, ¡°You¡¯re back? You¡¯re half an hour late. There¡¯s no need to go to kindergarten today. Forget it!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was utterly stunned. She had been cursing the whole way up the hotel and was emotionally unstable. It was as though someone had poured cold water on her. This boy looked exactly like Jiang Chen. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold. Even his tone of voice was very much like that b*stard.


    Jiang Chen continued to ignore Su Zhi¡¯en and kneeled before his son. His tone was surprisingly patient. ¡°Daddy has other matters to attend to today. I¡¯m sorry for wasting your time. I¡¯ll make it up to you in the future, okay?¡±


    Jiang Wei was still expressionless as he sarcastically replied, ¡°Are you this punctual when you go for your meetings?


    Jiang Chen and Su Zhi¡¯en were both stunned.


    ¡°Who is she?¡± Jiang Wei didn¡¯t wait for Jiang Chen to answer. He raised his head and looked at Su Zhi¡¯en. When Su Zhi¡¯en heard him, her entire body began to tremble. She couldn¡¯t help but clench her fists¡ª he was her child.


    Words lingered on Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s lips. She wanted to tell him that she was his mother. However, Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t say it out loud. In fact, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to tell him.


    At this moment, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even give Su Zhi¡¯en a chance to say anything. ¡°You don¡¯t have to care about this insignificant person. It¡¯s okay, and we won¡¯t go to the kindergarten today. Uncle Ming will bring you downstairs to play.¡±


    Jiang Wei remained silent and nodded. He didn¡¯t even bother to look back at Su Zhi¡¯en when he left with Ming Ze.


    ¡°Insignificant person? I¡¯m his mother.¡± Perhaps it was because she wasn¡¯t ready to meet Jiang Wei yet. But Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s arrogance and sarcasm were gone. She was on the verge of collapse. The words ¡°insignificant person¡± echoed in Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s mind. Besides that, the first look that Jiang Wei had ever given her was a cold. It was as though a knife had stabbed her.


    ¡°Is that so? If I recall, his mother has been dead for five years. If we didn¡¯t cut the grass on your grave, then it would be as tall as him, right?¡± Jiang Chen glared at Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s defeated look and sneered. He elegantly poured himself a glass of red wine. Su Zhi¡¯en was cursing Jiang Chen the whole time, but her demeanor immediately changed when she saw Jiang Wei.


    Su Zhi¡¯en heard Jiang Chen¡¯s voice and wanted to yell at him. However, his words reminded her that she should have been dead a long time ago. Jiang Wei thought that his mother had been dead for five years.. Now that she has suddenly reappeared, how could she explain herself to Jiang Wei? Could she honestly tell him that his mother wasn¡¯t really dead and that she had given up on him back then?

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face turned pale as she bit her lip. This was the first time that Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t refuted her fiercely.


    Jiang Chen saw and felt it too. He finally let out a big sigh and swirled the glass of red wine in his hand. The contempt on his face grew even more significant. ¡°It seems like you¡¯ve remembered how you abandoned and lied to him. This is very good. I see that you¡¯d rather die than let him know that he has a mother like you.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en clenched her fists tightly. ¡°Jiang Chen, what do you think you¡¯re doing? You don¡¯t want me to treat you, do you? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll take my chances and kill you? Let¡¯s not waste any more time. You can either kill me or cut me up into tiny pieces, do whatever you please. I just hope that I will never have to see you again when this is all over. Even in death!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en gritted her teeth and looked away from Jiang Chen. She was outraged when he said that, but she became calm after that. It was meaningless for her to continue cursing him.


    ¡®What harm could a person like me do by cursing him? As for that child¡­¡¯


    ¡°Ha!¡± The man sneered. ¡°At least you know your place. I know you are a doctor, but why would I let you treat me now? And why would I vent my hatred by killing you and cutting you into tiny pieces? You faked your death and left for five years.


    ¡°Do you know how the people that you left behind lived after that? Of course, you do. I¡¯m not one of them. How did those people who cared about you live the past five years?¡± At the end of his sentence, Jiang Chen¡¯s voice became fierce. He wanted nothing more than to bite her to death.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en heard this, she couldn¡¯t help but stagger. How could she forget Old Master Jiang and her uncle¡¯s family? Old Master Jiang was very kind to her. Even if his son disapproved of Su Zhi¡¯en and their marriage, Old Master Jiang has always acknowledged Su Zhi¡¯en and given her great privilege in the Jiang family.


    There was also her uncle and aunt. When the Su family had gone bankrupt, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s father went to prison, and her mother committed suicide. This broke the entire Su family apart. But her uncle managed what was left of her family, and her aunt took care of her. The Jiang family was even willing to accept Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Even after all of that, Su Zhi¡¯en faked her death and vanished. At that moment, she didn¡¯t care about anyone. She just wanted to leave that life. Because of Jiang Chen, she unexpectedly hurt many people who cared about her. Su Zhi¡¯en closed her eyes in agony. Her tone was emotionless as she said, ¡°It was all because of you.¡±


    ¡°Because of me? Su Zhi¡¯en, don¡¯t you feel any shame? Take a good look at yourself. If you hadn¡¯t agreed to marry me back then, would we have ended up like this? Would I have been drugged and had s*x with you?¡± Jiang Chen put down his wine glass and stared at Su Zhi¡¯en.


    ¡°It would seem as though you are right. No one forced me. I was stupid and naive. I willingly married you and caused this situation. It¡¯s all my fault, so are you satisfied? If all you wanted to do was humiliate and hurt me, then you¡¯ve succeeded. You¡¯ve broken the illusion that I¡¯ve spent five years creating. I have become delusional. Can you let me go now?¡±


    It had been five years, and Su Zhi¡¯en thought that Jiang Chen would at least be merciful when he saw her again, but in reality, she was not worthy of his kindness. But why was she like this? If she was stupid, couldn¡¯t Jiang Chen cover up the damage he had caused her?


    But thinking of that child made Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s emotions break down even more. Has she been enjoying herself these past five years? Jiang Chen looked up at Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s bloodshot eyes only to feel his blood rush. Was she sick? She was cursing him all the way here. Jiang Chen had only said a few words, but Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face suddenly turned pale.


    ¡°Do you think this is over? I¡¯ll bring you back home and let the others take a good look at you. I¡¯ll let them see what kind of person they have been mourning these past five years.¡±


    Jiang Chen didn¡¯t expect Su Zhi¡¯en, who had already calmed down, to go crazy after saying that so suddenly. She picked up whatever she could find around her and threw them at Jiang Chen. He dodged with a livid expression on his face. This woman was simply unreasonable. Jiang Chen then pushed the door open and left.


    If he stayed, not only would he be furious, but he could also be beaten to death at any time. If that woman couldn¡¯t kill Jiang Chen by throwing random objects at him, she would try to smash him to death with them.


    As Jian Cheng was leaving, Su Zhi¡¯en looked at the group of bodyguards surrounding the door and cursed at Jiang Chen as he turned his back on her, ¡°Jiang Chen, you¡¯re a sc*mbag! You are blind to the law. You¡¯re an animal. Where the hell are you going?! Let me out!¡±


    Meanwhile, at the hotel¡¯s bottom floor where Su Zhi¡¯en was being held captive, a five-year-old boy stood in the lobby and wandered around. Bai Yu¡¯an had spent more than an hour there. No matter how smart he was, he was still a child, so it was a little difficult for him to go out independently. He had followed the footage on the surveillance camera to track down the car that had left with his mother. It took him a lot of time and effort to locate the hotel.


    Bai Yu¡¯an struggled to stand on his toes as he reached out his hand that held an iPad. There was a screenshot of a license plate on the iPad. He knew that the car had stopped at this hotel, so he immediately went to the front desk and asked the lady at the front desk, ¡°Ma¡¯am, may I know who owns the car with this license plate?¡±


    The lady at the front desk looked at the handsome little boy in front of her. ¡®Wasn¡¯t this the young master who lived in the VIP¡¯s penthouse on the top floor?¡¯


    She then asked with a surprised look on her face, ¡°Young Master Jiang, why are you here? Didn¡¯t you go to the restaurant just now?¡±

 Chapter 10

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡®Huh? Young Master Jiang?¡¯


    Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s eyes shifted. He seemed to have thought of something and immediately climbed onto the chair beside him. He held his little chubby face and moved closer to the lady at the front desk, causing her to blush.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, I did go to the restaurant just now, and I came back. But that¡¯s not important. Ma¡¯am, look at this screenshot. Do you recognize the license plate on this car? Who does this car belong to?¡±


    The lady at the front desk was stunned for a moment. ¡°Isn¡¯t this your family¡¯s car? Your father drove it back just now.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s smile became even brighter. ¡°That¡¯s right. We have too many cars back home, so I got it mixed up. Bye, Ma¡¯am!¡±


    After saying that, Bai Yu¡¯an did not bother to look at the expression on the lady¡¯s face. He climbed down from the chair and ran away, afraid that the lady would notice something was wrong. After all, he was not Young Master Jiang.


    Since the lady recognized him as Young Master Jiang, it seemed that they really did look alike. Bai Yu¡¯an still remembered the photo he saw at the kindergarten yesterday. He had also checked the information on that boy. That boy¡¯s name was Jiang Wei, and he lived in that hotel.


    Meanwhile, at the hotel¡¯s restaurant. ¡°Uncle Ming, when are we going back to the hotel?¡± Jiang Wei was wearing a tiny suit. He slowly wiped his mouth and sat upright on the chair as he impatiently asked Ming Ze when they were going home.


    Jiang Wei was a person who looked exactly like Bai Yu¡¯an. But his personality, temperament, and behavior were completely different from Bai Yu¡¯an. If one were to describe Bai Yu¡¯an as warm and sunny, then Jiang Wei would be the exact opposite because he was always cold and gloomy.


    Jiang Wei didn¡¯t like to talk, and he was even less willing to communicate with others. He has a cold and distant personality. He even has a gloomy expression on his face. Jiang Chen has taught him well. He was more like a qualified heir to the Jiang family than just a regular child.


    ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk. What kind of Young Master is this? He acts like an adult. Doesn¡¯t he get tired of being so tense all the time? He doesn¡¯t even look like me, either. We are not alike at all. I hate wearing suits the most.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an leaned behind the hotel¡¯s restaurant door and observed Jiang Wei for a while, murmuring in a low voice.


    Ming Ze then said, ¡°Young Master Jiang, I¡¯m not sure when exactly we¡¯ll be going home. We¡¯re here to treat your father¡¯s illness, remember? Don¡¯t you want him to get better?¡±


    ¡°Is that lady upstairs going to treat him today?¡± Jiang Wei¡¯s expression was cold, but he still felt that the doctor should treat his father.


    ¡°Yeah, about that¡­¡± Ming Ze didn¡¯t expect Jiang Wei to ask him about this, so he hesitated to answer Jiang Wei¡¯s question. Jiang Wei¡¯s cold face suddenly frowned. ¡°Then tell my father to be more polite to the doctor that¡¯s treating him. Why was he being so aggressive toward her?¡± Ming Ze was at a loss for words.


    Bai Yu¡¯an, who was spying on them, was flabbergasted. ¡°What? That boy¡¯s father was being aggressive toward my mother? Does that boy¡¯s father have a death wish?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an didn¡¯t continue listening and turned around to head to the top floor. Two minutes later, the group of bodyguards guarding the top floor noticed that the elevator had opened, and a small boy with a cold face walked out. The group of bodyguards was immediately surprised.


    ¡°Young Master Jiang, you¡¯re back.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an imitated the cold expression he saw when he spied on the boy that resembled a little adult. He frowned and asked, ¡°Where is my father?¡±


    ¡°Director Jiang went out. He said that you should go and rest when you come back. He will be back soon.¡± The group of bodyguards didn¡¯t suspect a thing. Even though Bai Yu¡¯an was not wearing a suit, no one noticed that he wasn¡¯t the real Jiang Wei. They answered respectfully and opened the door for Bai Yu¡¯an.


    Bai Yu¡¯an continued to look inside with a straight face. ¡®This room is huge, but where is my mother?¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an looked away as if he did not mean to. He stared at the group of bodyguards again with an expressionless face. ¡°I got this. You guys can leave now.


    ¡°Yes, Young Master Jiang! Wait, we can leave?¡±


    ¡°Do you not understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an imitated Jiang Wei and blurted out another sentence. His extremely impatient expression was very similar to Jiang Wei¡¯s. The group of bodyguards immediately kept quiet and proceeded to leave.


    Bai Yu¡¯an looked around silently as he slightly opened his mouth. He didn¡¯t expect the little adult to be that intimidating. Bai Yu¡¯an didn¡¯t know that the group of bodyguards was intimidated by Jiang Wei because he was the heir to the Jiang family. Everyone that knew the Jiang family responded to them with caution.


    ¡°Mommy?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an walked into the huge room and called out to his mother. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an thought he would have to search for a while, but he didn¡¯t expect to get a reply so quickly. He followed the voice and ran over.


    Bai Yu¡¯an looked at Su Zhi¡¯en sitting on the floor behind the sofa and nervously asked, ¡°Mommy, what happened to you?!¡±


    ¡°Yu¡¯an? What are you doing here? Where is your sister? Has she been caught? Hurry up and leave. This is a very dangerous place!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en thought she was dreaming when she heard her son¡¯s voice. When she looked up and saw that it was really her son, she didn¡¯t care about the tears on her face anymore. She looked up and down at Bai Yu¡¯an and told him to leave quickly.


    Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s heart sank, seeing his mother like this. ¡°Who hurt you, Mommy? Was it a big bad man?¡±


    ¡°No one hurt me, don¡¯t worry about that. How did you get in here? Forget it. You have to leave right this instant!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t want to continue to dwell on the possibility of Jiang Chen seeing her son. She couldn¡¯t let Jiang Chen find out about the existence of Bai Yun¡¯ing and Bai Yu¡¯an. However, Bai Yu¡¯an was already very angry at this moment..

 Chapter 11

    ¡°Yu¡¯an, what are you doing? We have to leave quickly!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en looked at Bai Yu¡¯an as he walked around the room angrily. Bai Yu¡¯an found a pen and paper and quickly wrote, ¡°You¡¯re finished!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked when she saw this. Su Zhi¡¯en only thought about escaping with Bai Yu¡¯an. After Bai Yu¡¯an finished writing, he proceeded to flee with his mother.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Chen managed to find another doctor to treat him because he had not slept for several days. When he found out that Su Zhi¡¯en was not truly dead, he was so angry that he could not sleep for yet another night. He was on the verge of exploding with anger.


    However, the doctor in front of him could not do anything about his illness either. ¡°Master Jiang, you should know that your psychological issues are the cause of your insomnia. It¡¯s futile no matter how many doctors consult you. You should also know that your body can¡¯t handle it if this continues to drag on.¡±


    The doctor was also helpless. The doctor knew that valium wouldn¡¯t be sufficient to fully cure Jiang Chen¡¯s insomnia, but the doctor had no other choice but to prescribe Jiang Chen some valium. ¡°If you have psychological issues, you should probably consult with a psychiatrist, Master Jiang.¡±


    ¡°Psychological issues?¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. When he heard this, his expression became even more unwilling.


    Seeing this, the doctor could only remain silent. If Jiang Chen was unwilling to listen to the doctor¡¯s advice, what else can the doctor say?


    ¡®If people with psychological issues were treated well by others, there wouldn¡¯t be so many people with psychological issues walking around, would there?¡¯ Besides, for a person like Jiang Chen, his psychological issues were a curse that even he was afraid to tap into. Instead, he hid them deep within the depths of his heart, tormenting himself.


    In the end, the doctor prescribed Jiang Chen a higher dosage of valium. Jiang Chen took the pills and was about to leave when he received a call from the hotel.


    ¡°Director Jiang, the woman got away!¡± Ming Ze said in a panic.


    ¡°What? Say that again!¡± Jiang Chen replied angrily.


    ¡°The woman got away and left a note. I¡¯ll send you a photo of the note on your phone!¡± Ming Ze didn¡¯t dare to read the note to Jiang Chen.


    When Jiang Chen saw the note, he felt he might not sleep again. The veins on his forehead began to bulge. Jiang Chen, who was already in a bad mood, couldn¡¯t help but swear.


    ¡°She¡¯s the one who¡¯s going to be finished! Who could have done this? How was she able to escape?! I want you all to find out what happened. What are you all doing standing around?! Are you waiting for an invitation to start work?!


    ¡°No, Director Jiang, we¡¯re not waiting. We¡¯ve already checked the surveillance cameras, which have been hacked. The bodyguards said they haven¡¯t seen anyone other than Young Master Jiang.¡± Ming Ze¡¯s voice became quieter toward the end.


    ¡°F*ck!¡± Jiang Chen felt as though his head was about to explode.


    However, that was not the end of the call. Ming Ze remained silent for a moment before he continued to speak in a trembling voice, ¡°There¡¯s one more thing, someone sent out a video of us kidnapping Su Zhi¡¯en when we were at the hospital today, but I don¡¯t know who did it. Now, the entire internet is talking about us. They are saying that they want to seek justice for the female doctor who was kidnapped.¡±


    The CEO of one of the top business empires in the world had angrily commented on the video. The video on the internet has gone viral. Jiang Chen¡¯s head was about to explode from anger. He has made an enormous miscalculation. He knew that he wouldn¡¯t be able to fall asleep, but he didn¡¯t expect to pass out so suddenly. The doctor panicked, looking at Jiang Chen, who had suddenly passed out.


    Su Zhi¡¯en wasn¡¯t aware of her son¡¯s bravery before this. She quickly left the hotel and wanted to run away with her two children. Ba Wanling was confused and didn¡¯t know when Bai Yu¡¯an had left the apartment. She even saw Su Zhi¡¯en take Bai Yuning away. ¡°What happened?¡±


    However, Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t have time to explain herself to Ba Wanling. If she left with the two children, she would never go back to Jiang Chen. Su Zhi¡¯en owed a lot of people, and she felt guilty. But if she really went back to that b*stard, her two children wouldn¡¯t belong to her anymore.


    The Jiang family wouldn¡¯t allow their children to be raised in different countries. Bai Yu¡¯an and his sister meant the world to Su Zhi¡¯en. She could only continue to live through these past five years because of her children.


    ¡°Mommy, are we really going on a trip this time?¡± Bai Yuning was sitting next to her brother. She looked at her brother, playing with his iPad, before raising her head to ask her mother.


    ¡°Yes, we¡¯re going on a trip. We¡¯re going to Aunt Sona¡¯s house. She called me just now and said that the grapes in her garden are ripe. She wants us to try them.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en did her best to coax her children. She didn¡¯t want her children to worry. Since Su Zhi¡¯en wasn¡¯t allowed to leave the country, her only option was to bring her children to a remote place and hide there for now. She thought that Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t stay around forever.


    Because Su Zhi¡¯en was quite anxious, she ignored what the two children whispered about. After Bai Yuning found out where they were going, she didn¡¯t bother her mother again. As long as her mother and brother were by her side, she wasn¡¯t afraid of anything. Bai Yuning was just about to take a nap when she saw a photo pop up on her brother¡¯s iPad¡ª it was a photo of a boy.


    Bai Yuning opened her small mouth in surprise. ¡°Brother, who is that boy? Is that boy related to us? He looks exactly like you?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an quietly replied, ¡°He¡¯s not a boy. Mommy probably didn¡¯t give birth to him.¡±


    After the surveillance footage of the hospital was released with the scene depicting Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s kidnapping, the citizens could identify who the man in the video was.


    ¡°His name is Jiang Chen. That man must be Jiang Wei¡¯s father.¡±


    He looked so much like Jiang Wei, or rather, the three of them looked so much alike.. So¡­

 Chapter 12

    Uncertainty appeared on Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s face for the first time. However, this uncertainty did not last for long. As Su Zhi¡¯en drove further and further away, Bai Yu¡¯an directly blocked the GPS signal of their car.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Chen woke up and returned to the hotel. The uproar that took place on the internet had already been quelled. However, the person who left a note and escaped with Su Zhi¡¯en was still nowhere to be found. All the surveillance cameras had been hacked. Jiang Chen was so angry that he almost fainted again.


    ¡°Trash! All of you are f*cking trash! I spent so much money paying you guys, yet you can¡¯t even handle such a simple task!¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir. This is all our fault. Please calm down, Director Jiang. We will continue to look for them.¡±


    Ming Ze looked at Jiang Chen¡¯s expression and was afraid that Jiang Chen would do something terrible again out of anger. Ming Ze didn¡¯t mind being scolded by Jiang Chen, and he only hoped that Jiang Chen would quickly calm down.


    ¡®The other party was so confident in his ability to save Su Zhi¡¯en that he even arrogantly left behind a threatening note. He must have come prepared.¡¯


    Jiang Chen rubbed his eyebrows as his blood began to surge. ¡°Where is Jiang Wei?¡±


    ¡°He went back to his room to rest. Also, thanks to Young Master, the uproar on the internet had been quelled. In less than a minute, he managed to disable the whole server. This allowed the company to have breathing room to solve this current matter.¡±


    ¡°What a bunch of imbeciles, you were all outwitted by a child!¡± The so-called elites that Jiang Chen hired were not as capable as his son. He did not know which part he should be happier about.


    Jiang Chen rubbed his eyebrows and took a few deep breaths. He picked up the note¡ª it was a hotel post-it note, but its writing was charming and slightly immature.


    ¡°Did you gather any useful information?¡±


    ¡°It seems to have been written by a man,¡± Ming Ze said.


    He simply thought that the handwriting was formal as though a man had written it. However, when he saw Jiang Chen¡¯s expression, it was even more frightening than before. It was as though he wanted to kill someone. Ming Ze gave himself a slight slap.


    ¡®What was I blabbering about?¡¯


    ¡°A man? Su Zhi¡¯en is an adulterer! However, I might be wrong. If she had any ties with this man, he would be Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s boyfriend. He could even be Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s husband. After all, it has been five years, and Su Zhi¡¯en is also very young¡ª¡±


    ¡°Slap!¡±


    Before Ming Ze could finish his sentence, he was slapped in the face by the post-it note.


    ¡®Good heavens, that slap came out of nowhere!¡¯


    ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s husband, eh? You might be right. Let me tell you right now, if you don¡¯t find out who this ¡®husband¡¯ is today, I¡¯ll hurt you real bad!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at his assistant.


    ¡°Huh? Why would you say that, Director Jiang? What I meant was that this person could be Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s partner.¡±


    As he finished speaking, Ming Ze looked at Jiang Chen, who was as terrifying as a demon from hell, and realized what he had said. Ming Ze seemed to be in a state of shock and immediately attempted to switch his words around.


    ¡°No! I said that wrong. I didn¡¯t mean it that way. Su Zhi¡¯en doesn¡¯t have a husband, and she doesn¡¯t have a partner¡ª¡±


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    Ming Ze immediately went out to look for the man. After everyone had left, Tong Jingxian walked out of the back room. Her eyes were filled with hatred.


    ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en, you¡¯re not dead?!¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en was why Tong Jingxian could not become a member of the Jiang family. She thought that if Su Zhi¡¯en had died, she would finally be called Madam Jiang.


    ¡®I never imagined that Jiang Chen would want to keep our marriage a secret. It turns out Su Zhi¡¯en isn¡¯t truly dead. I won¡¯t let you get away with this, Su Zhi¡¯en!¡¯


    Tong Jingxian clenched her fists as she thought angrily.


    Su Zhi¡¯en drove without a hitch. They arrived at Sona¡¯s manor in the evening. Sona was the first patient that Su Zhi¡¯en treated after arriving at the hospital in Country R.


    Back then, Sona experienced acupuncture for the first time. Sona couldn¡¯t believe it. Sona was diagnosed with a stubborn disease that troubled half of her life and a young lady actually managed to cure her.


    Therefore, Sona took a liking to Dr. Bai Zhi. As long as ripe fruits were available at the manor, she would give them to Su Zhi¡¯en. Over time, Sona and Su Zhi¡¯en became good friends.


    Seeing that Bai Zhi had brought her children along, Sona was delighted. She was a woman who lived alone. Sona was in her forties and did not have children of her own. But she especially took a liking to the Bai siblings.


    Su Zhi¡¯en felt more at ease when she saw Sona. After all, the manor was located in a remote area. After staying at Sona¡¯s manor for less than two days, Sona approached Su Zhi¡¯en with a phone in her hand. ¡°Bai Zhi, Miss Ba Wanling called and is asking for you. She said that she was not able to get through to your phone.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. ¡®Why would Ba Wanling call Sona?¡¯


    When Su Zhi¡¯en picked up the phone before she could say anything, Ba Wanling was crying as she said, ¡°Bai Zhi, I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to betray you, but they were threatening to throw me into the sea. I¡¯m afraid, and I don¡¯t want to die.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s mind was in a mess.


    ¡®This has to be Jiang Chen¡¯s doing. That b*stard is so despicable.¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face turned red with anger.


    ¡°Where are you?¡±


    Ba Wanling said, ¡°I¡ª¡±


    ¡°Tell Su Zhi¡¯en that she has thirty minutes to get here, or else I¡¯m going start lowering you into the sea bit by bit until you inevitably drown!¡±

 Chapter 13

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Zhi¡¯en could feel the man¡¯s vicious and murderous aura from miles away¡ªit was Jiang Chen.


    ¡°This has nothing to do with Ba Wanling.¡±


    Jiang Chen and Su Zhi¡¯en both understood this had nothing to do with Ba Wanling. But in Jiang Chen¡¯s mind, it was now all about forcing Su Zhi¡¯en to come out from hiding. Su Zhi¡¯en began to tremble with anger at the thought of this.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, you¡¯re such an a*shole.¡±


    Jiang Chen promptly hung up the phone and began to time Su Zhi¡¯en. Hearing the phone¡¯s beeping, Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t help but throw the phone out. She had no other choice but to face the lunatic, Jiang Chen.


    ¡°Mommy, what happened?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an has been paying close attention to his mother¡¯s condition for the past few days. When Bai Yu¡¯an overheard his mother¡¯s conversation over the phone, his whole body began to tremble, and he proceeded to throw the phone further away. His chubby little face was full of worry.


    ¡®Did the bad man come to hurt Mommy again?¡¯


    ¡°Mommy is okay, Yu¡¯an. However, I need you to do something for me. Can you take your sister with you to stay with Mommy¡¯s uncle for a while? I will come to look for you soon.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en kneeled before her children as she struggled to balance her emotions. She carefully explained her plans to her children. After all, it was tough for the children to leave their mother, and now they have to go live with unfamiliar relatives.


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t want to do that, but she couldn¡¯t think of any other way. She had to meet up with that b*stard and save Ba Wanling. She couldn¡¯t take her two children with her, and she couldn¡¯t leave them alone in a foreign country.


    According to Jiang Chen¡¯s insidious nature, she couldn¡¯t rule out the possibility of him finding out about her two children. Su Zhi¡¯en could only think of splitting up and sending the children back to the city for now.


    Bai Yu¡¯an blinked his big bright eyes. ¡°Okay, I promise to do as you say. I will take good care of my sister and wait patiently for mommy to return. But you¡¯d better come home early.¡±


    Hearing her son¡¯s promise and words of comfort, Su Zhi¡¯en did not say a word. She felt sad as she pinched her son¡¯s cheeks. Bai Yu¡¯an was truly mature for a young child that had to leave his mother. He didn¡¯t cry or make a fuss. He even promised his mother that he would take good care of himself and his sister.


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t have much time to waste. After Bai Yu¡¯an agreed, she asked Sona to send the two children to the airport and called a trusted friend to pick her children up from the airport.


    After that, Su Zhi¡¯en drove the car to the agreed meeting place. When she arrived, she saw Ba Wanling tied up on the dock¡¯s deck as Ba Wanling was crying in fear. Su Zhi¡¯en felt terrible instantly.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, I¡¯m already here. Let her go!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en knew that Jiang Chen was nearby. A group of bodyguards surrounded Ba Wanling, so she could only wait for Jiang Chen to come out before making a move.


    Sure enough, Jiang Chen knew that Su Zhi¡¯en had arrived, so he leisurely walked out of the boat. ¡°What perfect timing. If you don¡¯t come with me willingly, I¡¯ll have my men throw that woman into the sea. The rope is already tied,¡± Jiang Chen casually explained.


    He didn¡¯t show any sympathy to the woman crying in fear. Only when Jiang Chen achieved his goal would he have a different reaction. He really was a lunatic.


    Su Zhi¡¯en thought, ¡®It would seem that I can¡¯t argue with a lunatic.¡¯


    She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, ¡°Let her go. I¡¯m already here. Didn¡¯t you want to bring me back to the Jiang family? I¡¯m right here. I won¡¯t run away.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Why are you so straightforward this time? Then why did you run away last time? I don¡¯t really care. It¡¯s just that your friend over there almost visited the King of Hell.¡± Jiang Chen was wearing a dark blue suit and casually sat on a chair his men had placed. His posture was lazy, and his tone was relaxed. He then signaled his men to let Ba Wanling go.


    ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to betray you, I swear.¡± Ba Wanling immediately apologized to Su Zhi¡¯en after being released. Ba Wanling was too ashamed to look at Su Zhi¡¯en, but she was afraid. The people that kidnapped her were lunatics.


    Su Zhi¡¯en hugged Ba Wanling. ¡°I know, you don¡¯t have to apologize to me. I was the one who let you down. They kidnapped you because of me. I am the one who should be apologizing.¡±


    Ba Wanling cried in a low voice as she was still distraught. She apologized to Su Zhi¡¯en, but she didn¡¯t forget the situation that she was currently in. She looked at the man behind Su Zhi¡¯en, and her voice was hoarse as she asked, ¡°Who are they? I know you. You can¡¯t get involved with these people. What¡¯s going on? Why are they looking for you?¡±


    As a good friend, Ba Wanling was truly worried about Su Zhi¡¯en. However, how could Su Zhi¡¯en tell Ba Wanling the truth? Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s biggest hope now was that Ba Wanling wouldn¡¯t get involved with anyone else just because of her.


    Of course, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t have much patience for others. He immediately asked someone to take Ba Wanling away. In the end, only Su Zhi¡¯en and Jiang Chen were left on the deck.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes were neither happy nor sad. She had long calmed down. Otherwise, when she saw Jiang Chen, she would definitely curse at him.


    Jiang Chen saw that Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes were as cold as a winter storm. There was no warmth in them, and he also saw a deep sense of hatred. She truly despised him..

 Chapter 14

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to look at me that way. I¡¯m just bringing you back as an apology. Don¡¯t worry. Even if you die, I¡¯ll bring your corpse back with me.¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s bloodshot eyes narrowed as he clenched his fists.


    ¡®What gives her the right to look at me this way?¡¯


    ¡°You¡¯re bringing me back as an apology? I really don¡¯t understand you, Jiang Chen. What are you doing? I¡¯ve already hidden so far away from you. I¡¯m not an eyesore to you. Why are you going through so much trouble just to bring me back? Aren¡¯t you afraid that my appearance would make your love life even more difficult?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en felt that Jiang Chen¡¯s words were a joke, but Su Zhi¡¯en had a point. Five years ago, Jiang Chen had caused so much trouble just to be with Tong Jingxian. All of that had nothing to do with Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°You think too highly of yourself, Su Zhi¡¯en. In my eyes, it doesn¡¯t make a difference to me if you¡¯re dead or alive. If you didn¡¯t show up today, I would still find you, kill you, and bring you back! Do you think that you can change my mind?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en clenched her fists till they turned pale. Jiang Chen was as sharp and cruel as he once was, making it hard for people to breathe. Su Zhi¡¯en did not speak anymore.


    ¡®It has been five years. Why am I expecting him to say anything decent? I must be the one going crazy.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en was then brought into the boat without any struggle. It turned out that this was their means of transport. However, Su Zhi¡¯en did not care about any of this. She just lay on the bed emotionlessly.


    ¡°Young Master Jiang, the wind and waves are very strong. You¡¯re in danger¡ª¡±


    ¡°If you don¡¯t shut up, I¡¯ll show you what true danger is!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en wasn¡¯t able to sleep well. In her daze, she heard the sound of an argument. That threatening tone reminded her of Jiang Chen. However, Su Zhi¡¯en quickly sat up because that voice sounded like a child.


    ¡®A child? Was that Jiang Wei? It must be him. Jiang Chen intends to bring me back, which means Jiang Wei must be here.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en immediately became excited at the thought of this. She ran toward the window, and sure enough, she saw a boy dressed in a black suit. Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes began to tear up when she saw Jiang Wei.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± Jiang Wei, who controlled a drone by the fence, heard someone calling out to him. He frowned and turned around to look. His expressionless face was a little unhappy because someone had interrupted him.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en saw Jiang Wei turn around, she vigorously waved her hand. ¡°Over here, Jiang Wei, Mom¡ª Aunt Zhi¡¯en is down here.¡± She almost said that she was his mother. But she didn¡¯t dare to let him find out. She was afraid to look into Jiang Wei¡¯s eyes. How was she going to tell him?


    Jiang Wei finally saw Su Zhi¡¯en, but there was a lack of surprise in his eyes that Su Zhi¡¯en had hoped to see. Jiang Wei¡¯s expression was extremely cold as he looked at Su Zhi¡¯en with the same impatience as Jiang Chen.


    While facing the boy who looked like Bai Yu¡¯an, Su Zhi¡¯en noticed two completely different expressions. One was a heavenly and lovable boy, and the other was devilish and gloomy. At this moment, Su Zhi¡¯en felt a sharp pain in her heart.


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    ¡°Young Master Jiang, we¡¯ve been outside for long enough. Let¡¯s hurry and go back inside.¡± The bodyguard blocked Jiang Wei¡¯s way, not wanting him to go to Su Zhi¡¯en.


    The sight of this made Su Zhi¡¯en anxious. ¡°I hope you remember me. We met at the hotel.¡± She gestured at the window, hoping that Jiang Wei had not forgotten that they had met before. Fortunately, he remembered.


    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±


    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me! May you come a little closer so I can take a closer look at you? Just for a glance.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes began to tear up more and more as she pleaded.


    ¡°Young Master Jiang, we really have to go inside. If you¡¯re out here for too long, Director Jiang will be furious.¡±


    ¡°Go away!¡± Jiang Wei glared and walked past the bodyguard. This made Su Zhi¡¯en extremely happy. She could finally take a good look at Jiang Wei. They had not said a word to each other when they met at the hotel.


    ¡°Why are you locked up down there? Aren¡¯t you a doctor? You¡¯re supposed to be treating my father.¡± Jiang Wei walked over, but he didn¡¯t intend on chatting. He immediately stated his purpose for walking over and looked at Su Zhi¡¯en coldly.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s heart was in great pain at that moment. It was even more painful than Jiang Chen¡¯s words.


    ¡®It¡¯s all my fault. If I hadn¡¯t left Jiang Wei behind, he would not have turned out this way. He would have been like his siblings, like a little ray of sunshine.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en reached out her hand through the window. She wanted to touch Jiang Wei.


    ¡°She¡¯s just a doctor. She¡¯s here to treat your father.¡±


    ¡°Then why is the doctor down there? Why did Father lock her up?¡± Jiang Wei was just as difficult to fool as Bai Yu¡¯an.


    After assessing her current situation, Su Zhi¡¯en knew that things were not that simple. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry about Mom¡ª Aunt Zhi¡¯en, your father didn¡¯t do anything bad. It¡¯s already late, and the waves are strong.. You should go back inside, okay?¡±

 Chapter 15

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Zhi¡¯en had no intentions of talking about those matters with her son, so she changed the subject. ¡°It¡¯s too windy outside, and It¡¯s really dangerous for you to be standing by the fence playing with your drone. Plus, the waves are making you wet. I¡¯m worried that you might catch a cold.¡±


    However, Jiang Wei didn¡¯t listen to her at all. Seeing that Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t answer his question, Jiang Wei turned around and continued to play with his drone.


    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business! Go get me more batteries!¡±


    ¡°Y-yes, Young Master Jiang.¡± The bodyguard was in a difficult position.


    The sight of this made Su Zhi¡¯en anxious. Just as she was about to persuade Jiang Wei, someone walked over. ¡°Jiang Wei, you¡¯re not allowed to play out here anymore. You¡¯ve been playing for too long. If you don¡¯t go back inside right now, your father will be furious!¡±


    Hearing the voice of the person, Su Zhi¡¯en looked over. It was Tong Jingxian.


    ¡®So she¡¯s here too.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s surprised expression didn¡¯t last long. However, there was nothing to be surprised about, considering the relationship between Tong Jingxian and Jiang Chen.


    ¡°Jiang Wei! Didn¡¯t you hear what I said? Your clothes are wet, and your hands are cold. I¡¯ve already told you not to come out and play. What if you get sick? You have no idea how weak you are, do you? Hurry up and put your drone away. You¡¯re not allowed to play out here anymore!¡±


    Tong Jingxian walked over and noticed that Jiang Wei was still playing with his drone. She impatiently felt Jiang Wei¡¯s clothes and found that they were indeed wet. Her expression became even uglier. However, Jiang Wei refused to listen to her. He ignored Tong Jingxian¡¯s yelling as he continued to play with his drone.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, are you deaf?! Do you want to get punished again? Put the remote control down now!¡± Seeing that Jiang Wei was not obedient, Tong Jingxian continued to scold him. Her tone became even more impatient. She even grabbed the remove control as she spoke, but Jiang Wei refused to let go. Tong Jingxian became more and more impatient until she pinched his arm with all her strength.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en saw this, her expression changed immediately. Jiang Wei was a very stubborn child. He was weak and lacked maternal love when he was younger. This led him to become eccentric and even gloomy. When Tong Jingxian scolded him, he would resist even more fiercely.


    Su Zhi¡¯en could see that Tong Jingxian¡¯s hands turned pale as she tried to pull the remote control away from Jiang Wei. Tong Jingxian¡¯s face turned red as she continued to pull at the remote control in Jiang Wei¡¯s hands.


    Tong Jingxian began to pry Jiang Wei¡¯s hands open one by one, as though she was letting him know that he was overestimating his ability to resist. Su Zhi¡¯en could see that Tong Jingxian had caused Jiang Wei¡¯s hand to bruise from such a distance.


    ¡°Tong Jingxian, you b*tch! Let go of him! Who told you to treat him that way?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en was furious as she yelled.


    Tong Jingxian, who was about to teach Jiang Wei a lesson, suddenly had a drastic change in expression.


    ¡®Damn it!¡¯


    She was so focused on teaching Jiang Wei a lesson that she forgot that Su Zhi¡¯en was locked up nearby.


    ¡®What do I do now? Su Zhi¡¯en has seen me. What if she told Jiang Chen about this?¡¯


    Everyone knew that Jiang Chen¡¯s bottom line was his son. At the thought of this, Tong Jingxian let go of Jiang Wei¡¯s hands. She had a flustered look on her face.


    ¡°Tong Jingxian, you¡¯re as crazy as Jiang Chen! Have you been treating him like this for the past five years? Don¡¯t you have a heart? How could you treat a child like this? He¡¯s Jiang Chen¡¯s son, after all. You¡¯re already married to Jiang Chen, so why are you making things difficult for Jiang Wei?! He¡¯s only five years old!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en gripped the windowpane tightly.


    ¡°Hey, Su Zhi¡¯en, I honestly don¡¯t know what you¡¯re saying. What¡¯s wrong with what I¡¯m doing? I was worried that Jiang Wei would catch a cold, so I told him to pack his drone up and come back inside quickly.¡± Tong Jingxian immediately calmed down and said calmly.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was so angry that she wanted to beat Tong Jingxian to death. ¡°I saw what you did, yet you¡¯re still trying to deny it. You forcefully pried his fingers from the remote control and even pinched his arm. Not only did I see it, but the bodyguard saw it too!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t dare to imagine what this woman had done to Jiang Wei when no one was looking. However, Tong Jingxian didn¡¯t expect Su Zhi¡¯en to accuse her. Tong Jingxian smiled charmingly and walked to the bodyguard. ¡°What did you see?¡±


    After saying that, Su Zhi¡¯en saw cold sweat appear on the bodyguard¡¯s forehead. The bodyguard¡¯s face was filled with fear and nervousness. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t see anything.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, did you hear that? He didn¡¯t see a thing. You¡¯ve wronged me, Su Zhi¡¯en, or are you trying to slander me and reclaim your position as Madam Jiang? You¡¯re honestly dreaming if you have such thoughts. You¡¯re destined to be disappointed now that I¡¯m Jiang Chen¡¯s wife!¡±


    Seeing Tong Jingxian, who was so pleased with herself, Su Zhi¡¯en was utterly furious. Tong Jingxian had twisted the truth. The most frustrating thing was that the bodyguards actually listened to her.


    If Su Zhi¡¯en were to attest, Jiang Chen would not believe her. Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. She could no longer look at Tong Jingxian and proceeded to turn her attention to her son instead. ¡°Come here, Jiang Wei. Let Aunt Zhi¡¯en take a look at your hands, will you?¡±


    ¡°You still want to comfort Jiang Wei? Let me tell you, Jiang Wei is usually very naughty. It¡¯s normal for him to have a few bruises. Do you honestly think that Jiang Chen would believe what you tell him?¡± Tong Jingxian asked sarcastically..

 Chapter 16

    ¡°Tong Jingxian, you know very well what you¡¯ve done. I wasn¡¯t around in the past, but now that I¡¯m back, I won¡¯t let you get away with how you are treating Jiang Wei!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s voice was filled with a ruthless tone.


    Tong Jingxian stood in front of Su Zhi¡¯en and looked into her bloodshot eyes. Su Zhi¡¯en was overflowing with murderous intent, and Tong Jingxian could not help but shudder. Tong Jingxian thought that Su Zhi¡¯en shouldn¡¯t be left alive.


    ¡°Seal the window. You should have heard Director Jiang¡¯s orders. It doesn¡¯t matter if this woman dies. So pay close attention to her! Do not let her escape.¡± Tong Jingxian ordered the bodyguards in exasperation.


    Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at Tong Jingxian any longer. She proceeded to wave at Jiang Wei with all her might. ¡°Jiang Wei, come over and let me take a look at your hands.¡±


    Jiang Wei was a little confused. He didn¡¯t understand why Su Zhi¡¯en was so eager to take a look at his hands. ¡®Did Aunt Jingxian do something wrong? I¡¯ve always been treated this way, and no one has ever said anything about it.¡¯


    Jiang Wei didn¡¯t like to interact with others, so naturally, he didn¡¯t communicate properly. In his eyes, how Tong Jingxian treated him was normal.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, come here quickly. Let me take a look at your hands,¡± Su Zhi¡¯en begged. She tried her best to convince the bodyguards to let Jiang Wei come over with tears in her eyes. She wanted to see how her son was doing.


    Su Zhi¡¯en had carried Jiang Wei in her womb for ten months. As a mother, Su Zhi¡¯en had abandoned Jiang Wei at birth. She felt that she had let Jiang Wei down, so how could she idly watch her son get abused? Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s voice was hoarse as she said, ¡°Jiang Wei, come over. Mommy¡ª Aunt Zhi¡¯en is begging you, okay?¡±


    Jiang Wei gazed at the window blankly while Su Zhi¡¯en was crying and begging in desperation. At last, he couldn¡¯t help but go over. Although he was not good at communicating with others, he could still sense the love and care of Su Zhi¡¯en. Jiang Wei had never experienced such strong affections before.


    Jiang Wei finally began to walk over. However, Tong Jingxian would not let the boy interact with Su Zhi¡¯en. Tong Jingxian immediately picked Jiang Wei up and fiercely demanded, ¡°Seal the window immediately. Otherwise, you¡¯re all fired!¡± She then carried Jiang Wei away.


    This made Su Zhi¡¯en almost pass out from anger. ¡®Jiang Chen, how could you be so blind? Why would you fall for such a woman? Or is it because Jiang Wei doesn¡¯t belong to that woman that you love so much? Do you not care about your own son?¡¯


    As the bodyguards sealed the window, Su Zhi¡¯en collapsed onto the ground. Su Zhi¡¯en fainted because she hadn¡¯t eaten for a day. Besides, she wanted to see Jiang Chen.


    ¡®Why would she go on a hunger strike just to see me? Is it because of the incident that took place yesterday? Does she still think that Tong Jingxian mistreated Jiang Wei?¡¯ Jiang Chen, who had just rested, heard the news and frowned.


    Ming Ze was nervous. Tong Jingxian had told Ming Ze that she was stopping Jiang Wei from playing outside, so she forcefully carried Jiang Wei back indoors. However, Tong Jingxian was rough with Jiang Wei, but Ming Ze ignored her actions.


    Ming Ze didn¡¯t expect Su Zhi¡¯en to go on a hunger strike because of this. At this moment, Ming Ze didn¡¯t know how he would react to Jiang Chen¡¯s words. Suddenly, one of the bodyguards came in from the outside. ¡°Director Jiang, there¡¯s been an incident. It seems that the woman committed suicide!¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Jiang Chen, who was rubbing his eyebrows, stopped immediately. Cold sweat began dripping down his forehead. ¡®Suicide? It would seem that Su Zhi¡¯en is really crafty. She even pretended to hurt herself to this extent.¡¯ Jiang Chen then rushed over with a livid expression on his face.


    When Jiang Chen arrived at the locked cabin, he thought that Su Zhi¡¯en would ambush and attack him. After all, he only thought that Su Zhi¡¯en was trying to trick him. But Jiang Chen did not expect to see Su Zhi¡¯en lying in a puddle of blood. Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes were dull, like a wilting flower.


    ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en, what the hell did you do?!¡± Jiang Chen was genuinely shocked. He felt as though his head was about to explode. He rushed over and grabbed Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s bleeding wrist. ¡®She really did slit her wrist!¡¯


    ¡°What are you standing around for? Hurry up and get the first aid kit!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Director Jiang, right away!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Chen, you¡¯re finally here. I should be glad, right? It would seem that you still have some sense of humanity left in you. You rushed over knowing that I¡¯m going to die.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en tried to look at Jiang Chen with much effort. She had held on for more than ten hours, and her eyes were already swollen from crying.


    The veins on Jiang Chen¡¯s forehead began to throb. ¡°Are you f*cking delusional?! Do you really think I¡¯m afraid of you dying? Do you think I would still care about you if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I already told Old Master Jiang that you are still alive?!¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s ashen lips curled into a mocking smile. Indeed, if it wasn¡¯t for Old Master Jiang, why would Jiang Chen care whether or not Su Zhi¡¯en lived? After all, Jiang Chen had clearly told Su Zhi¡¯en that he didn¡¯t care if she lived or not.


    Su Zhi¡¯en slowly closed her eyes and stopped looking at Jiang Chen. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, can you return Jiang Wei to me?¡±


    ¡°What did you say?¡±

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡®What is Su Zhi¡¯en saying?¡¯ Jiang Chen felt her request was utterly unbelievable.


    ¡°I want my child back! You can hate and resent me all you want, Jiang Chen, even if you want me to die. Just treat Jiang Chen well because he is your biological son, and let him live a good life. He¡¯s just an innocent child. You can¡¯t be so cold-blooded to him.¡±


    At this point, Su Zhi¡¯en suddenly opened her bloodshot eyes. She resembled a trapped animal that was staring at Jiang Chen.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s eyebrows furrowed even tighter. ¡°Do you know what nonsense you¡¯re spouting? Who would dare treat Jiang Wei poorly?¡±


    ¡°Then why did you let that b*tch near Jiang Wei? Do you know how she treats him? She violently pried at Jiang Wei¡¯s fingers and even pinched his arm. Jiang Wei is only five years old.


    ¡°I carried him in my womb for ten months. I almost gave my life to give birth to him. If you don¡¯t take care of him, then I will. I beg you to give him back to me! I promise to raise him well and never get in the way of the Jiang family, okay?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s body trembled. She couldn¡¯t care less about the pain in her body, and she struggled to sit up. She had trouble breathing because of the pain in her wrist. Back then, Su Zhi¡¯en hesitated to leave Jiang Wei behind. If she had known that Jiang Wei would end up like this and be abused, Su Zhi¡¯en would have taken Jiang Wei with her.


    However, when Jiang Chen heard Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s words, not only did he not believe her, but he also pushed her away. His face was full of disgust and hatred. ¡°I want to know what you honestly think. Do you think you can persuade the Jiang family to chase Tong Jingxian away so that you can reclaim your position as Madam Jiang? In your dreams!¡±


    ¡°Chase Tong Jingxian away?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? You¡¯re intentionally blaming Tong Jingxian for abusing Jiang Wei so that you can reclaim him for yourself. Now you¡¯re threatening me by slitting your wrists and playing a trick on me? Do you think I¡¯m a fool, Su Zhi¡¯en?¡± Jiang Chen looked at Su Zhi¡¯en. He looked as though he couldn¡¯t bear to look at her any longer.


    Su Zhi¡¯en suddenly smiled¡ªit was a sad and absurd kind of smile. ¡®Tong Jingxian is perfect, pure, and as flawless as the moonlit skies in Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes. But she is an unbearable existence in my eyes. Tong Jingxian only knew how to play tricks!¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en looked elsewhere and suddenly stood up from the ground. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even have time to react. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t expect her to grab something and stab him. Jiang Chen¡¯s pupils constricted.


    ¡°Oh, how bittersweet¡­ Yes, Jiang Chen, I¡¯ll take you down with me. I¡¯m willing to exchange my life for my son¡¯s. I want you never to let that woman touch my son! I hope you still¡­ have some conscience left¡­ Don¡¯t worry. I wouldn¡¯t want to be Madam Jiang again, even if I was reincarnated.


    Su Zhi¡¯en enunciated each word with blood in her mouth as she looked at Jiang Chen. Her eyes seemed to have been filled with blood. She had cursed herself and the others in the cabin so ruthlessly. The people who looked at her felt a chill run down their spines.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s face was pale as his heart began to throb uncontrollably in pain. He clenched his fists, and for the first time, he didn¡¯t dare to look into such a pair of eyes. ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en must¡¯ve gone crazy! Does she know what she¡¯s doing?!¡¯


    Jiang Chen rushed over and held Su Zhi¡¯en. He saw that the thing that she had stabbed him with was a piece of broken glass. Jiang Chen did not know how deep the piece of glass went. He did not dare to touch the glass, nor did he dare to pull it out.


    ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en, you¡¯re f*cking insane! I should have your brain examined!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s head was about to explode. He shouted at the bodyguards, who did not dare to come in. ¡°Go and get a first aid kit, quickly!¡±


    There was also another doctor on board the boat. Jiang Chen was about to lose his mind. He had never seen such a crazy woman.


    From the moment Jiang Chen and Su Zhi¡¯en got married, she had given Jiang Chen the impression that she was submissive. But now, Su Zhi¡¯en was constantly keeping Jiang Chen on his toes. Just because of what he had previously said to Su Zhi¡¯en, it seemed as though she no longer cared about her life. However, Jiang Chen isn¡¯t a fool. His bloodied face began to show signs of relaxing up.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en found out about Tong Jingxian¡¯s abusive behavior, Tong Jingxian had already thought of dealing with that situation. Tong Jingxian knew very well that since Su Zhi¡¯en had caught her red-handed, Su Zhi¡¯en would not let it go that easily. So Tong Jingxian took the initiative and immediately brought Jiang Wei to his father to admit her mistake.


    Sure enough, Jiang Chen did not blame her. When Tong Jingxian had told him that she had accidentally hurt Jiang Wei, he only glanced at Jiang Wei¡¯s hands. Seeing that Jiang Wei did not react to the bruises on his hands, Jiang Chen let Tong Jingxian off the hook.


    Tong Jingxian had pretended to be a good wife and a good mother for five years, and she has been very successful thus far. This made Tong Jingxian confident in herself. Tong Jingxian was still living comfortably, especially when she heard that Jiang Chen didn¡¯t intend to see Su Zhi¡¯en even though she was on a hunger strike. Tong Jingxian became even happier.


    ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en, do you think you can compete with me?¡¯


    Tong Jingxian heard that Su Zhi¡¯en had committed suicide only when night fell did her expression change slightly.


    ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en did all that just to lure Jiang Chen over? Was she honestly that desperate?¡¯


    The more Tong Jingxian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She was just about to go over to take a look when she saw that a bodyguard had already arrived. ¡°Miss Tong, Director Jiang is asking for you..¡±

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    In an instant, Tong Jingxian¡¯s hands and feet turned cold. The thing she was most afraid of had come to pass. For five years, she had always been by Jiang Chen¡¯s side, as Madam Jiang. But this was the first time she had been brought to Jiang Chen in such an improper manner.


    That night, the sea breeze was even colder than usual, sending chills down Tong Jingxian¡¯s spine. With every step she took, she felt her heart skip a beat. Tong Jingxian looked at the man in front of her. At this moment, Jiang Chen was carefully examining Jiang Wei¡¯s tiny hands. He was so meticulous that he didn¡¯t even look past Jiang Wei¡¯s fingernails.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, did you call for me?¡± Tong Jingxian¡¯s heart began to throb erratically¡ªendless panic spread through her. Tong Jingxian¡¯s legs began to tremble, as she didn¡¯t dare to approach Jiang Chen.


    Jiang Chen ignored Tong Jingxian as he examined Jiang Wei¡¯s tiny hands. He then covered his son with a quilt so that Jiang Wei would not be exposed to the cold sea breeze.


    Seeing this, Tong Jingxian trembled even more violently. ¡°Jiang Chen, I¡ª¡±


    ¡°Did you hurt him or not?¡± Jiang Chen looked up and immediately questioned Tong Jingxian.


    Tong Jingxian looked at Jiang Chen¡¯s face, and it was full of murderous intent. It seemed to resemble the cold sea breeze outside. Tong Jingxian couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Her legs went weak as she kneeled in front of the door. She knew Jiang Chen too well.


    ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Jiang Chen, I was being impatient. I honestly didn¡¯t do it on purpose, I¡ª¡±


    ¡°So you admit it! Are you crazy, Tong Jingxian? Who gave you the right to touch my son?! I wouldn¡¯t even do this to Jiang Wei. How dare you hurt him! Where did you get the guts to do this?!¡± At the end of his speech, Jiang Chen¡¯s tone was cold, as though he wanted to skin Tong Jingxian alive. Jiang Chen¡¯s glare resembled a demon that crawled out of hell.


    Tong Jingxian immediately collapsed. Her entire body went limp, and she trembled uncontrollably. ¡°I was wrong. I was truly wrong. I¡¯ve never had a child of my own, so I would inevitably lose my temper when faced with Jiang Wei. It was unforgivable. Jiang Chen, I hope you can understand. Who¡­¡±


    Even now, Tong Jingxian continued making excuses and whined about her grievances. Fortunately, she stopped herself before she finished her sentence. Otherwise, Jiang Chen might have killed her right then and there. The problem is, who hadn¡¯t disciplined their child before?


    For some reason, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of the bloody scene.


    ¡®This was all for Jiang Wei. Su Zhi¡¯en risked her life, and Tong Jingxian denies treating Jiang Wei poorly. Was it because Jiang Wei isn¡¯t Tong Jingxian¡¯s biological son? But no matter what, Tong Jingxian and I have been together for five years.¡¯


    The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the angrier he became¡ªhis eyes turned red. Looking at Tong Jingxian, who had been with him for five years, disappointment and disdain swept through his body. He picked up a glass cup next to him and threw it at Tong Jingxian.


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand! Get lost! You¡¯re not allowed to go anywhere near Jiang Wei from now on. You¡¯re also not welcome in Fu Mansion anymore! I never want to see you again!¡± Fu Mansion was where Jiang Chen currently lives.


    At this moment, Tong Jingxian felt as though she had been struck by lightning. Jiang Chen was trying to draw a line between them.


    Tong Jingxian was utterly dumbfounded. She didn¡¯t care about the glass of water that was thrown at her as she immediately crawled toward Jiang Chen. ¡°No, Jiang Chen, you can¡¯t do this. How can you chase me away? You know I love you. Have you forgotten what you said when you brought me back to the Jiang family home five years ago? Jiang Chen!¡±


    Tong Jingxian¡¯s screams echoed into the cold sea breeze, but all of this had nothing to do with Su Zhi¡¯en. Extreme fatigue and excessive blood loss caused Su Zhi¡¯en to be unconscious for the remainder of the night.


    The following day, Su Zhi¡¯en was awoken by the sun¡¯s warmth. ¡°You¡¯re awake. How do you feel?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en was a little surprised.


    There was someone beside her. She opened her eyes and was surprised by the person beside her. ¡°Assistant Ming Ze?¡±


    ¡°Yes, many years have passed since we last met. It¡¯s such an honor that Madam Su still remembers me.¡± The young man was wearing a white shirt, his face was clean and refined, and he wore a pair of dark-colored glasses. He looked like an ordinary person, but he was very organized. He was Jiang Chen¡¯s assistant¡ª Ming Ze.


    Su Zhi¡¯en smiled faintly. How could she not remember this Ming Ze? When Su Zhi¡¯en got married, Jiang Chen left the very next day. Ming Ze helped to manage the Jiang family and Jiang Chen¡¯s company. Su Zhi¡¯en still remembered that she had always waited for news about Jiang Chen whenever Ming Ze came to visit.


    Su Zhi¡¯en then sat up straight. ¡°What honor? It was all thanks to you that I lived a decent life in the past. Then why are you here now?¡±


    ¡°You were badly injured last night, and you seem to be doing fine in the cabin. I just came to check on your IV drip. How are you feeling now?¡± Ming Ze then thoughtfully poured Su Zhi¡¯en a glass of water.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was a little embarrassed as she picked up the glass of water. ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Ming Ze, but I¡¯m fine. By the way, how is Jiang Wei doing? Did Jiang Chen talk to that woman? He¡­¡± As Su Zhi¡¯en spoke of this, she looked a little anxious.


    Ming Ze quickly comforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Madam Su, Director Jiang has already taken care of Young Master Jiang. Miss Tong is no longer allowed to get anywhere near Young Master Jiang. You can rest assured..¡±

 Chapter 19

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Ming Ze knew that Su Zhi¡¯en would ask about this, so he told her everything that had happened while she was unconscious. Hearing this, Su Zhi¡¯en finally let out a sigh of relief.


    It seems that Su Zhi¡¯en has won the battle this time. ¡®That b*stard isn¡¯t so stupid after all.¡¯ Jiang Chen¡¯s so-called lover, Tong Jingxian, had blinded him to the point where she could do whatever she wanted and got away with it.


    ¡°Then can I go and take a look at Jiang Wei?¡±


    Hearing that, Ming Ze looked a little embarrassed. He looked away and said, ¡°But you haven¡¯t recovered yet. You¡¯d better get some more rest.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t think much of it. Her injuries were not serious, but she had still lost a lot of blood. However, Su Zhi¡¯en was a doctor, so she knew what she was doing at that time.


    Just as Su Zhi¡¯en was about to get out of bed to look for Jiang Wei, Ming Ze attempted to stop her. ¡°Madam Su, Director Jiang told Young Master Jiang that his mother has been dead for five years. He doesn¡¯t want to see Young Master Jiang get hurt again. So please¡­¡±


    Such a simple sentence shocked Su Zhi¡¯en. She stopped moving and sat on the bed in a daze. Jiang Chen¡¯s words that night were already considered to be kind. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Su Zhi¡¯en had risked her life to save Jiang Wei, Jiang Chen would have said even worse things last night. However, Su Zhi¡¯en knew that she could refute Jiang Chen about anything involving Jiang Wei.


    But, what right did she have to see Jiang Wei? It already hurt too much when Su Zhi¡¯en first gave up on Jiang Wei. How could she confess to Jiang Wei that his mother was still alive, but she abandoned him back then? It was too cruel for a child.


    ¡°Madam Su, let¡¯s talk about something else. You don¡¯t have to worry about Director Jiang mistreating Young Master Jiang. If Young Master Jiang needs anything, Director Jiang will personally handle it. Otherwise, why would Director Jiang bring his son along when he came to Country R to look for a doctor to treat his illness?


    ¡°It¡¯s also because Young Master Jiang¡¯s health has been bad since he was younger, and his blood type is rare. Director Jiang is worried that something terrible might happen to his son if he goes out to play for too long. Director Jiang will bring his son with him wherever he goes.


    ¡°Director Jiang even found a kindergarten in Country R so that Young Master Jiang could make new friends.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was silent for a long while before she asked, ¡°Jiang Wei has a rare blood type?¡±


    Ming Ze nodded. ¡°Young Master Jiang is like you. He has an Rh-negative blood type. He was born prematurely and was in critical condition. The hospital was also short on blood.


    ¡°Director Jiang personally flew a helicopter to the City¡¯s General Hospital to acquire more blood for Young Master Jiang. That was how Director Jiang managed to save his son. Director Jiang sincerely cares about his son, and he would never abandon Young Master Jiang.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s expression darkened when she heard this. She should be glad that Jiang Chen still cared so much for Jiang Wei. ¡°I understand. Thank you, Ming Ze. You can go back to your duties now. There¡¯s no need for you to come over and check on me. Also, you don¡¯t have to call me Madam Su anymore. There¡¯s no need to address me so formally anymore.


    ¡°I am no longer the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. I¡¯m afraid that Jiang Chen will be unhappy when he hears about this. Plus, I have never thought about being Madam Jiang again.¡±


    Ming Ze opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, he only sighed and bit his tongue. Ming Ze then turned around and walked out of the cabin.


    In the end, Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t ask to see Jiang Wei. She just quietly recuperated for the time being.


    Jiang Chen noticed that Su Zhi¡¯en was obedient, so Jiang Chen didn¡¯t ask his bodyguards to keep her locked up. Su Zhi¡¯en now had some freedom.


    However, Jiang Chen and Su Zhi¡¯en had agreed that she was not to interact with Jiang Wei. On the boat that was about to dock, Jiang Wei wandered around the boat by himself. ¡°Why are you still locked up?¡±


    Jiang Wei had come out to play with his drone. However, when Su Zhi¡¯en saw Jiang Wei, she could not control herself and stood up. ¡°Jiang Wei, why are you here? Did you sneak out?¡±


    ¡°Hmph!¡± Jiang Wei snorted impatiently, took his remote, and turned around to leave. Jiang Wei was so different from Bai Yu¡¯an. No matter who Bai Yu¡¯an faced, he would never have such an attitude. Bai Yu¡¯an was warm, polite, and was like a ray of sunshine.


    However, Jiang Wei was just like his father. Jiang Wei was filled with a cold and arrogant aura. Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t help but feel pain in her heart. She carefully followed Jiang Chen.


    ¡°You¡¯re really good at piloting drones. The drone is so high up.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en looked at Jiang Wei as she attempted to connect with him. After everything that Ming Ze had told her, Su Zhi¡¯en was even more afraid of seeing Jiang Wei. The guilt in her heart grew even more significant, especially when she saw him. Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t bring herself to look Jiang Wei in his eyes.


    Jiang Wei ignored her words and treated Su Zhi¡¯en as if she didn¡¯t exist.


    ¡°Did you know that if you add a bit of tinfoil onto the tail of this type of drone, it can fly higher? You will also be able to control its direction better.¡± As soon as Su Zhi¡¯en said this, Jiang Wei looked at her with a cold expression on his face.


    Seeing this, Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°I can do it for you!¡±


    She immediately went to look for tinfoil. Bai Yu¡¯an had told her about the tinfoil before. Although Jiang Wei and Bai Yu¡¯an had never met, they had the same hobbies, and Su Zhi¡¯en bought a lot of these things for Bai Yu¡¯an. Su Zhi¡¯en managed to find a few empty cigarette boxes.


    ¡°Look, this is tinfoil. I¡¯ll put in on the drone for you to try later..¡±

 Chapter 20 - She Was Finally Back

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Zhi¡¯en squatted down in front of Jiang Wei, panting as she carefully took out the tinfoil inside the cigarette box. At first, Jiang Wei didn¡¯t take this seriously, but he was still a child. He was still curious to see what Su Zhi¡¯en was doing, so he looked at her with attentiveness.


    ¡°Have you ever done something like this before, Jiang Wei?¡±


    Jiang Wei didn¡¯t answer, nor did he respond. Because of his eccentric personality, he rarely spoke to people. When Su Zhi¡¯en noticed this, she didn¡¯t force him to reply. She slowly removed the tinfoil from the cigarette box and said, ¡°Jiang Wei, look!¡±


    Although Jiang Wei still didn¡¯t speak, Su Zhi¡¯en could still see his eyes light up. Su Zhi¡¯en was extremely happy to see this. Jiang Chen had a novel reaction, and Su Zhi¡¯en struck while the iron was hot and said, ¡°You can try it too. We just need a few more pieces of tinfoil. Help Aunt Zhi¡¯en find some more, and we can make the drone go even faster. What do you think?¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Wei finally responded. He took the cigarette box with his fair hands and squatted down to help Su Zhi¡¯en. She peeked at her son from time to time. From her point of view, her son¡¯s small face was as exquisite as a porcelain doll¡ªprecisely the same as Bai Yu¡¯an.


    Additionally, Su Zhi¡¯en hoped that Jiang Wei would become much gentler when he became entirely focused. ¡®I hope to make up for my past mistakes and that you could forgive me in the future.¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en thought in her heart.


    After about ten minutes, the mother and son finally modified the drone. ¡°I hope that you can fly the drone higher after doing all that work.¡±


    ¡°Okay,¡± Jiang Wei responded again as his drone flew dozens of meters higher.


    ¡°You see? Aunt Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t lie to you, right?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en clapped her hands excitedly, trying to stimulate her son¡¯s emotions. Jiang Wei was also delighted as the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Chen realized that Jiang Wei was missing, and this was what he saw when he found his son. Jiang Wei, who was usually cold and indifferent, actually had a smile on his face, and Su Zhi¡¯en, who had reluctantly agreed not to interact with Jiang Wei, actually went back on her words.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s expression immediately became forbidding. ¡°What are you doing?! Who allowed you to see Jiang Wei?¡± Jiang Chen said every word through his gritted teeth.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face immediately turned pale, and all of her enthusiasm seemed to have been extinguished by a tub of cold water. ¡°I¡ª¡±


    ¡°Are all my men dead?! Take Jiang Wei back inside and lock this woman up. No one is allowed to let Su Zhi¡¯en out without my permission!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t give Su Zhi¡¯en a chance to explain herself, nor did he want to hear her explanation. The bodyguards took Jiang Wei away as they held Su Zhi¡¯en back.


    Jiang Chen had already said that he wouldn¡¯t allow Su Zhi¡¯en to hurt Jiang Wei again, and Su Zhi¡¯en had also reluctantly agreed to his request. Now that Su Zhi¡¯en had gone back on her words, Jiang Chen felt as though he had been tricked again. Also, Jiang Wei had always been raised by him, and he wouldn¡¯t allow anyone to touch Jiang Wei¡¯s things.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was brought back to the cabin. This sudden change of events made Su Zhi¡¯en confused. ¡°Jiang Chen, listen to me. I have thought this through clearly. I can make up for my mistakes. I will never let him get hurt again. I can do it. Would you just trust me for once?!¡±


    She had gotten along well with Jiang Wei just now. That was her opportunity to make things right with Jiang Wei, and she believed that she could get Jiang Wei¡¯s forgiveness.


    However, when Jiang Chen heard her words, he could only sneer. ¡°How could you ever make it up to Jiang Wei? You faked your death for freedom and abandoned your family. What right do you have to try and make amends? Why didn¡¯t you take a look at yourself when you lectured me? What makes us so different from each other?


    ¡°We have nothing more to discuss. I¡¯ll remind you one last time. If you want your uncle¡¯s family to be safe, you better behave yourself, or else¡­¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t finish his sentence, leaving Su Zhi¡¯en to imagine what he would do to her uncle¡¯s family if she misbehaved.


    In the end, Su Zhi¡¯en was being locked up again. However, she wasn¡¯t locked up for long because they soon reached the shore. ¡°Miss Su, we¡¯ve arrived, but we can¡¯t take you to the Jiang family home today. I¡¯ve already arranged a place for you to stay for the time being. The bodyguards will take you there.¡± It was Ming Ze who came to open the cabin door for her.


    It didn¡¯t matter if she was brought to the Jiang family home a day later because Su Zhi¡¯en had yet to figure out how she would be able to face Old Master Jiang, who had treated her like his own daughter. She didn¡¯t dare to imagine what it would be like to see Old Master Jiang again. He would be incredibly disappointed.


    Su Zhi¡¯en naturally had no right to say anything as she left with the bodyguards. After leaving for five years, she had finally returned to this country. Her feelings were conflicted.


    Looking up, the outline of the city was still there. However, the high-rise buildings that rose from the ground and the hustle and bustle of the city were different from five years ago. So, Su Zhi¡¯en felt unfamiliar.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was now back in Country B.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was taken to an apartment by the bodyguards. She did not know the exact location, however. She was unfamiliar with this city. What was familiar was the tightly locked apartment. Simply put, it was tightly locked to prevent Su Zhi¡¯en from escaping..

 Chapter 21 - Mother Is Such a Worrisome Person

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t expect to be locked up as soon as she returned. She even thought of visiting her children. How was she going to do that now? Seeing that the bodyguards were about to leave, Su Zhi¡¯en shouted, ¡°What about my phone? Can you return it to me now?¡±


    ¡°Why would you need your phone? Do you want to call someone to come and save you? Keep dreaming. You¡¯re not escaping this time! Don¡¯t even think of getting someone to come and save you. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. None of you will be able to escape.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en stood at the door as the bodyguard said this, so she turned around and left¡ª Su Zhi¡¯en felt irritated.


    Su Zhi¡¯en got nothing out of that conversation. She was simply locked up with nowhere to go. She even thought about climbing out of the window. But if she did that, she would still be at least be a dozen floors up. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t climb out of the window, she decided to pick the lock instead.


    Su Zhi¡¯en wasn¡¯t planning on giving up that easily. She found a bunch of tools and was about to pick the lock when she suddenly heard a click. Su Zhi¡¯en stood still while she saw the door opened by itself.


    ¡°Mommy, what are you doing? Were you about to pick the lock? It seems that I was right. You were kidnapped by the evil man again. Who did you get into trouble with, Mommy?!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en never imagined that Bai Yu¡¯an would be the one to open the door for her. Bai Yu¡¯an was furious when he saw his mother holding some tools to pick the lock. Su Zhi¡¯en felt as though her eyes were playing tricks on her. Otherwise, how would Bai Yu¡¯an be here since Su Zhi¡¯en had just arrived in this city?


    ¡°Yu¡¯an, how did you find this place?¡±


    ¡°You worry me, Mommy. How could I be at ease if I didn¡¯t put a tracking device on you? What have you been doing these past few days? The tracking device showed that you were in the middle of the sea. Did that evil man kidnap you?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an was very angry. He then removed the tracking device that he placed on Su Zhi¡¯en. On the other hand, Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked. She felt as though Bai Yu¡¯an had tremendously outwitted her.


    ¡°It would seem that the evil man hasn¡¯t learned from his mistake from the last time. I have to teach him a lesson.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an felt that he should write a more threatening note this time.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en saw this, she quickly hugged him. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood, Yu¡¯an. That man didn¡¯t kidnap me, and he¡¯s a patient of mine. That man couldn¡¯t travel by plane because of his illness, so we came here by boat instead.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an looked skeptical. ¡°Really?¡±


    ¡°Yes, my son. The cell phone signal wasn¡¯t good as we were on the boat. I haven¡¯t been able to contact you. It¡¯s all Mommy¡¯s fault.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en continued to coax Bai Yu¡¯an. She didn¡¯t want Bai Yu¡¯an to continue investigating Jiang Chen. If Bai Yu¡¯an continued, then Jiang Chen would inevitably find out, not only that, it was also because Bai Yu¡¯an was so brilliant that he would definitely find out who Jiang Chen truly is.


    Bai Yu¡¯an was indeed brilliant, but he was still just a kid. There were some things that he just didn¡¯t understand. After hearing his mother¡¯s words, Bai Yu¡¯an became silent for a while before he said, ¡°Then why are you locked up?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not locked up. Did you see any bodyguards outside? I just felt as though it wasn¡¯t safe with no one else being around, so I tried to tighten the lock.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en spewed nonsense with her eyes wide open.


    Bai Yu¡¯an remained silent. He didn¡¯t understand why his mother lied to him about that evil man. It seems that Bai Yu¡¯an would have to investigate that man more carefully.


    In the afternoon, Ming Ze received the news that Su Zhi¡¯en, who was locked up in the apartment, had escaped yet again. Ming Ze¡¯s heart skipped when he heard the news, but suddenly, he received another call.


    ¡°Assistant Ming Ze, this is Su Zhi¡¯en. I¡¯m sorry, I just wanted to see my family, so I ran out for a while. But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll go back to the apartment after seeing them.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en deliberately called to tell Ming Ze about this, making Ming Ze feel conflicted. He glanced at Jiang Chen, who was sleeping on the bed as he said in a whisper, ¡°Don¡¯t let Director Jiang find out. Come back quickly.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en had no objections, so she hung up the phone.


    Ming Ze looked at the phone in his hand as he felt even more conflicted. ¡®I should be happy, right? Five years have passed, and Director Jiang¡¯s ex-wife still remembers my phone number.¡¯ Ming Ze had a slight headache as he turned his head to look at his sleeping boss. Suddenly, a doctor walked into the room.


    ¡°Assistant Ming Ze, Master Jiang¡¯s scans are out. He was very fortunate this time. There were no signs of ruptures to the blood vessels in his head. But just because it didn¡¯t happen this time doesn¡¯t mean that it won¡¯t happen next time. You have to understand that in Master Jiang¡¯s case, a cerebral hemorrhage could easily occur.¡±


    ¡°Then what should we do?¡± Ming Ze became very anxious when he heard this.


    The doctor shook his head and said, ¡°You are aware of his illness as well. Many doctors have already consulted him. You guys even went abroad. If I may ask, didn¡¯t you guys find a doctor who can treat Master Jiang? Can¡¯t that female doctor treat him?¡±


    When Ming Ze heard this, he sighed even louder. ¡®If Su Zhi¡¯en weren¡¯t able to treat him, then it would be fine. We could just look for another doctor. But now that we know that there aren¡¯t any other doctors who can treat Director Jiang, we absolutely have to convince Director Jiang¡¯s ex-wife to treat him..

 Chapter 22 - Drowned in the Sea

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Meanwhile, Su Zhi¡¯en had already arrived at her uncle¡¯s house with Bai Yu¡¯an. Just as she had expected, the moment she entered the house, she was greeted by a barrage of curses from her uncle.


    Five years ago, Su Zhi¡¯en had already told her uncle about her two children and that she wasn¡¯t truly dead. But Su Zhi¡¯en and her uncle had never met since then, and she has not even called him once.


    No matter what, it was only fitting for Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s uncle to scold her. ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en, if you¡¯re so capable, then why did you come back? You shouldn¡¯t come back for the rest of your life if your so capable, right?!¡±


    ¡°This is my home. How can I not come back?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en lowered her head in shame.


    ¡°You¡¯re bullsh*tting me! Your surname is Su, and this is the Bai family home! This is my home, not yours!¡± Uncle Bai was furious.


    When Bai Yuning heard the yelling, she hugged her brother in fear and began to cry. ¡°Why is Grand-uncle scolding Mommy? Does he not like Mommy?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an comforted his sister. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just that Mommy was disobedient. That¡¯s why Grand-uncle is scolding her. Just like how Mommy scolded us whenever we were disobedient, right?¡± When Bai Yuning heard her brother¡¯s explanation, she stopped crying.


    Sure enough, after scolding her for a while, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s aunt walked out of the bedroom. ¡°That¡¯s enough. No matter how much you scold her, she can¡¯t undo what had happened in the past. You should save your strength. If you die from anger, no one will come to visit your grave.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s uncle fell silent as Su Zhi¡¯en tried to explain herself. ¡°Aunt¡ª¡±


    ¡°Stop. You don¡¯t have to explain yourself. Just tell me what you¡¯re thinking. Are you really going to see Old Master Jiang?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s aunt¡¯s temperament was calmer than her uncle¡¯s. Her tone was cold, and her face was expressionless. There was a sense of estrangement all over her body, making Su Zhi¡¯en lower her gaze.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if I end up meeting Old Master Jiang, he will restore my household name, then I will belong to the Jiang family once again. So I don¡¯t want to meet him.¡±


    ¡°But if they force you, then you have no choice either,¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s aunt said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll think of something. But what about my children? I¡¯m worried that the Jiang family will find out about them, so I can¡¯t allow my children to continue living here¡ª¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s up to you to decide!¡± Before Su Zhi¡¯en could finish her sentence, her aunt blurted out a cold sentence, and in an instant, the rest of Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s words were stuck in her throat.


    Su Zhi¡¯en had always been a little afraid of her aunt. It was because her aunt had an intimidating aura. Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s aunt was the eldest daughter of a family of scholars. As for Su Zhi¡¯en, who was a fool who could not do anything right, she did not dare to talk to her aunt. When Su Zhi¡¯en was growing up, the Su family had caused her uncle¡¯s family a lot of trouble, so she was ashamed to even look at her aunt.


    Su Zhi¡¯en then left with her two children and went to a house that she had found.


    After Su Zhi¡¯en left, her uncle was silent for a long while before he said, ¡°Xiuying, why are you still blaming Su Zhi¡¯en? She honestly did not understand what she was doing. Yanxi is coming home soon. Do you want her to be uneasy when she gets home?¡±


    Shen Xiuying looked coldly at her husband sitting in the wheelchair, then turned around and left.


    Yanxi was the wheelchair-bound uncle¡¯s daughter and the person who hated Su Zhi¡¯en deeply five years ago.


    Meanwhile, Su Zhi¡¯en sorted out her two children and registered them into the nearest kindergarten, preparing to let them go to school here.


    ¡°Huh? Aren¡¯t we going back home, Mommy? Are we switching kindergartens?¡±


    Bai Yuning¡¯s face was filled with shock when she heard that she would be switching kindergartens. Bai Yuning was a very sentimental girl. She had several good friends in Angel Kindergarten. One of them was responsible for doing homework with her, the other was responsible for playing with her, and the other was responsible for bringing her delicious food.


    Su Zhi¡¯en softly pinched her daughter¡¯s cheeks. ¡°We¡¯re only staying here for a little while. Mommy has a patient to treat, and he needs some time to recover, so my two babies will have to put up with Mommy¡¯s nonsense for a while.¡±


    ¡°Alright then.¡± Although Bai Yuning was a little reluctant, she still nodded and agreed maturely.


    Meanwhile, Bai Yu¡¯an was busy. He was looking for information on that evil man. He thought about this carefully, ¡®I need to do a background check on that bad man so that we can have a fight between two men! I absolutely cannot let this man harass my mother!¡¯


    However, when Bai Yu¡¯an looked at Jiang Chen¡¯s high-definition photo, he was shocked. ¡®Why does he look so much like me? He can¡¯t possibly be my father, right?¡¯ When Bai Yu¡¯an thought of this, his eye¡¯s widened. He ran to his mother¡¯s side and asked, ¡°Mommy, you told us that our father died, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, why do you ask?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en nodded unknowingly when Bai Yu¡¯an asked her this question out of the blue. Su Zhi¡¯en would always say the same thing whenever her children asked this question, so her nod was just a reflex.


    This time, however, Bai Yu¡¯an had a strange reaction. After a while, he asked, ¡°Then how did he die?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en was stunned for a moment. She had never thought of this before. ¡°He was uh¡­ He accidentally drowned in the sea! The kind of death where you could never find the body. Yes, that¡¯s how he died!¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an was skeptical. ¡®Is this a made-up story? So, could that evil man really be my father?¡¯ At the thought of this, Bai Yu¡¯an became angrier. He decided that he would find this evil man.. ¡®Why is this evil man harassing my mother, and why didn¡¯t he want my sister and me?

 Chapter 23 - An Opportunity to Meet Jiang Wei

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Zhi¡¯en did not know what her son was thinking at that moment. She was making use of her time tidying up Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s room. After all, she had to return to the apartment later so that Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t find out that she had escaped.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Seeing that Ming Ze was calling her, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s heart skipped. ¡®Did Jiang Chen find out that I managed to leave the apartment?¡¯


    ¡°Madam Su, I have something to discuss with you.¡±


    ¡®Ming Ze is calling me Madam Su again.¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en could feel that there was indeed something important that Ming Ze wanted to discuss. Su Zhi¡¯en was a little surprised. ¡°What is it?¡±


    Based on her current circumstances, what else did Ming Ze have to discuss with Su Zhi¡¯en?


    ¡°Do you want to meet Young Master Jiang? You have an opportunity to meet him now. I was just wondering if you are willing to meet him.¡±


    ¡°Is that true?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t believe what she heard.


    However, Ming Ze still nodded as though they were speaking in person. ¡°Yes, as long as you can cure Director Jiang¡¯s illness, I promise that you can meet Young Master Jiang every day.¡±


    ¡°You want me to cure Jiang Chen¡¯s illness?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en tightened her grip on her phone. She seemed to have expected this.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll be honest with you. Director Jiang didn¡¯t bring you back to the Jiang family today because the blood pressure in his brain had increased, and he fainted because he fought with you on the boat. Director Jiang is currently in the hospital, but if you can cure his insomnia¡­ Well, is there a need for me to tell you? He will probably let you meet Young Master Jiang. What do you think, Madam Su?¡±


    Ming Ze finally told Su Zhi¡¯en why he called. To get Su Zhi¡¯en to agree, he also said that Jiang Chen had fainted on the boat in the morning.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was stunned for a moment. ¡®That arrogant man, Jiang Chen, is hospitalized? It¡¯s no wonder I didn¡¯t see him and Jiang Wei when I got off the boat. It seems that something bad happened.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t help but boast and say, ¡°I definitely can cure Jiang Chen. After all, I was the one who studied his case back then. If it weren¡¯t because the patient was Jiang Chen, I would have cured him immediately, and he would have fully recovered long ago. It¡¯s good enough that Jiang Chen didn¡¯t die immediately. You should be glad that he¡¯s still alive.¡±


    Ming Ze remained silent for a while. He then smiled helplessly and said, ¡°Yes, I shall come over to pick you up later, Madam Su. Don¡¯t worry. As long as you can treat Director Jiang¡¯s illness, everything will be fine. Although Director Jiang has said that he won¡¯t allow you to meet Young Master Jiang, you are still that boy¡¯s mother.


    ¡°When you go to Director Jiang¡¯s house to visit Young Master Jiang, he won¡¯t be able to stop you even if he wants to, don¡¯t you think, Madam Su?¡±


    That last sentence Ming Ze said was the key to everything. Su Zhi¡¯en was instantly moved after hearing that. What she lacked most was a chance to build a relationship with Jiang Wei. How could she make it up to Jiang Wei if she didn¡¯t even have a chance to do it? How could she ever ask for his forgiveness then?


    Su Zhi¡¯en had to agree to this proposal, but not without making her own requests. ¡°Then Jiang Chen can¡¯t lock me up anymore. I want to stay at my uncle¡¯s house instead. Otherwise, they will be worried about me. It won¡¯t look good if my uncle comes looking for me in the Jiang family home, right?¡±


    Ming Ze then replied, ¡°Of course, that won¡¯t be a problem. You just need to help Director Jiang be able to sleep normally again. We will not restrict your freedom. But you must remember the prerequisite for all of this. You must be able to cure Director Jiang¡¯s insomnia!¡±


    ¡°I know!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en agreed readily.


    All Su Zhi¡¯en wanted was time and freedom. This way, she could take care of her two children by sending them to kindergarten during the day and bringing them back by night. It was the same pattern as to when they were abroad.


    As for curing Jiang Chen¡¯s illness, Su Zhi¡¯en had utter confidence in herself. At the end of Ming Ze and Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s conversation, they had agreed that they would start the treatment tonight. Ming Ze would pick her up at the apartment later. As long as the treatment worked, their agreement would be official.


    ¡®Will Ming Ze be arriving soon? If so, I better go back quickly.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en immediately hung up the phone and looked at Bai Yuning and her brother. ¡°Alright, you two, Mommy has to go out for a while. I have something urgent to attend to. Mommy will call you later, and I will ask Aunt Su to come over as well. okay?¡±


    Aunt Su was an old servant of the Su family. After the Su family went bankrupt, she went to the Bai family home and took good care of Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Bai Yuning didn¡¯t say anything. She only turned her attention to her brother and saw that he raised his head to ask, ¡°Where are you going, Mommy? You¡¯re not coming back tonight, right?¡±


    ¡°Why would you think that? Mommy will only be gone for a while. I¡¯ll be back in an hour or two, don¡¯t worry.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en comforted her son as she called Aunt Su.


    As expected, when Aunt Su heard that she would be taking care of the two children, she immediately agreed. Knowing that Aunt Su would be around to look after the two children, Su Zhi¡¯en left the house without any worries.


    Bai Yuning then said, ¡°Brother, Mommy is acting weird.¡± The little girl ran to the balcony with her brother and looked at her mother. She squatted beside Bai Yu¡¯an and looked down curiously with her big eyes.


    Bai Yu¡¯an also squatted down and looked at his mother as he frowned. ¡°Hmph! Mommy must be going to the evil man¡¯s place again..¡±

 Chapter 24 - What a Nice Family of Three

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Bai Yuning heard this, she was immediately terrified. ¡°An evil man? Then isn¡¯t Mommy in danger? Let¡¯s go save Mommy!¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that right now because I¡¯m planning to look for the evil man tomorrow.¡±


    Bai Yuning¡¯s eye¡¯s instantly widened. ¡°You¡¯re going to look for the evil man? Then I want to come too! I don¡¯t like evil men who harass Mommy either.¡±


    ¡°No, you need to cover for me at the kindergarten. When I find the evil man tomorrow, I will come back and tell you the next step in our plan.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± The two siblings quickly agreed.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en returned to the apartment, she didn¡¯t have to wait long before Ming Ze arrived in his car. Seeing this, Su Zhi¡¯en took the medical bag that she had prepared earlier and got into the car. ¡°Which hospital will we be going to?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re going to the Fu Mansion. Director Jiang has already gone home.¡±


    When Su Zhi¡¯en got into the car, she thought she was going to a hospital. She did not expect to go straight to Jiang Chen¡¯s mansion. Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s whole body suddenly tensed up. She felt a sudden jump in her chest, and even her breathing became erratic.


    Su Zhi¡¯en had never been to Jiang Chen¡¯s mansion before. When Su Zhi¡¯en married Jiang Chen five years ago, she had only seen him once on their wedding day. Now she has the chance to go to Jiang Chen¡¯s mansion.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en was staying at the Jiang family home, she knew that Jiang Chen had other homes of his own. It¡¯s just that Su Zhi¡¯en never dared to go and take a look at them.


    She didn¡¯t even dare to ask for news about Jiang Chen, nor did she dare to mention his name too often. Su Zhi¡¯en was afraid that Jiang Chen would hear that she was asking about him and make Jiang Chen hate her more. Su Zhi¡¯en thought about it, and at that time, she was so submissive that she lost all sense of dignity¡ª love made her blind.


    Now that Su Zhi¡¯en has returned five years later, she finally went to Jiang Chen¡¯s mansion. Su Zhi¡¯en felt that it was ironic. She looked out of the window and found it amusing. It was late fall, and the night was frigid. Su Zhi¡¯en looked at the world outside the window and felt her heart turn cold.


    ¡°Madam Su, Director Jiang just got discharged from the hospital today. If his attitude is bad when you arrive, can you bear with it a little? I¡¯m worried that if he gets angry again, he¡¯ll¡ª¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m a doctor, and Jiang Chen is my patient now. I know this better than you. Besides, we have an agreement. I¡¯ll make sure I don¡¯t provoke him.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en retracted her gaze and replied faintly.


    Ming Ze heaved a huge sigh of relief when he heard this. No matter what, it would be fine as long as they didn¡¯t make too much of a fuss. They arrived at the Fu Mansion¡¯s number one courtyard ten minutes later.


    Pillars carved out of white marble could be seen at the grand and imposing entrance of the mansion. The corridor was arched as golden roses decorated it. They were simplistic but luxurious, not to mention the stunning scenery of the garden. Su Zhi¡¯en looked at every detail attentively. It turned out Jiang Chen lived in such a grand mansion.


    ¡°Madam Su, I will drop you off here. You can go in directly from here.¡±


    ¡®I can directly go in from here? Isn¡¯t Ming Ze coming with me?¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en collected her thoughts and ran back toward the car. ¡°But I¡¯ve bever been here before, and you didn¡¯t tell Jiang Chen that I¡¯m here. It would be difficult for him not to get angry if I went barging into his mansion, right?¡±


    ¡°No, Madam Su, I¡¯ve already told Director Jiang that you are coming, and I don¡¯t want to disturb him.¡± Ming Ze comforted Su Zhi¡¯en with a smile from inside the car. Ming Ze didn¡¯t look like he was lying.


    But his foot was already on the gas pedal. As soon as Su Zhi¡¯en stepped into the mansion, Ming Ze immediately stepped on it and didn¡¯t look back. Ming Ze didn¡¯t dare to show up at the mansion any time soon. ¡®It¡¯s all up to fate now.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en believed Ming Ze and didn¡¯t notice his little tricks. She thought what Ming Ze said was true, so she picked up the medical bag next to her and boldly went into the mansion. ¡®Since Ming Ze had already told Jiang Chen that I was coming, there¡¯s no reason for Jiang Chen to yell at me, right?¡¯


    A few minutes later, at the entrance of Fu Mansion, Su Zhi¡¯en continued walking as she came across a garden. It was not as quiet as she imagined because bodyguards were coming out to stop her.


    ¡®Was Ming Ze telling me the truth?¡¯ With this thought in mind, she held the medial bag in her hand and boldly rushed forward. ¡°Where is he?¡±


    It was strange. When Su Zhi¡¯en finally reached the main entrance, she did not see anyone. ¡®Could Jiang Chen be upstairs?¡¯


    However, when Su Zhi¡¯en stepped into the mansion, she saw a pair of pink slippers on a shoe rack next to the door. They stood out next to the man¡¯s leather shoes and child¡¯s shoes. It seemed harmonious.


    ¡®What a nice family of three.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s gaze suddenly stopped there. In that second, she felt as if something was hammering at her chest. It was a little painful, and her breathing seemed to become erratic again.


    ¡®These slippers should belong to that woman..¡¯

 Chapter 25 - Cerebral Hemorrhage

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Su Zhi¡¯en was married to Jiang Chen, she didn¡¯t even have the right to visit this place. But it would seem that someone had already become the female owner of this place. The three members of this mansion were happy together, but the child belonged to Su Zhi¡¯en¡ª how ironic was this?


    ¡®Why wouldn¡¯t they just return Jiang Wei to me?¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en stood there as her heart ached. Even her blood seemed to have frozen. Five years ago, only fear and unwillingness filled Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s heart, which made her feel conflicted.


    ¡°Who are you? Who let you in?¡± Just as Su Zhi¡¯en was staring at the pair of slippers, lost in her own thoughts, a woman¡¯s voice suddenly echoed from behind Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Su Zhi¡¯en heard this and snapped out of her daze. ¡°Huh? I¡¯m the doctor who came to take a look at Director Jiang. I didn¡¯t see anyone around, so I thought I would come in myself. Is Jiang Chen home?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en quickly composed herself and turned to look at the woman who appeared behind her.


    The woman was a maid who was about forty years old. When the maid saw Su Zhi¡¯en barging in, she looked distraught. ¡°You¡¯re treating Master Jiang? Why haven¡¯t I heard about this?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s impossible! I was brought here by Master Jiang¡¯s assistant, Ming Ze. Didn¡¯t Ming Ze tell you? You could even ask Master Jiang. If he disagrees, then I won¡¯t come in.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s tone turned cold.


    However, the maid still didn¡¯t understand what Su Zhi¡¯en was talking about. Just when Su Zhi¡¯en was about to leave to look for Ming Ze, someone upstairs heard all the commotion that took place downstairs.


    ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en? Who let you in?¡± Jiang Chen stood at the stairway as his hair was a little wet. Jiang Chen¡¯s tall and slender body only had on ordinary home clothes. He looked very casual. However, this did not affect his inherent noble aura deep within his bones.


    Su Zhi¡¯en looked at Jiang Chen, who had finally appeared. She was stunned for a moment. ¡°Ming Ze let me in. He said that you wanted me to treat your illness.¡±


    ¡°Ming Ze told you that? Su Zhi¡¯en, you have to limit your lies, okay? Do you honestly think that I would give him such an order?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t expect Jiang Chen to deny it. However, because of Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s lie, Jiang Chen¡¯s handsome face, which was initially pale, immediately became red, as though he was about to burst a blood vessel.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked. ¡®If Jiang Chen really wanted to me to treat him, then Ming Ze wouldn¡¯t have let me come into the mansion alone just now. So, I was deceived by Ming Ze?¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s expression immediately became unsightly.


    ¡°So, am I right? Have you gone mute or deaf?¡± Jiang Chen saw the look on Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face, and his eyes were filled with indifference as they had a hint of sarcasm in them. He then proceeded to walk down the stairs.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked as she tried to explain herself. ¡°Wait a minute. Listen to me. Ming Ze was the one who called me. He said that you fainted when you were on the boat and were sent to the hospital. He also said that you almost died from a cerebral hemorrhage. He told me to come over to take a look at you. So, since I¡¯m here, we should try to stay calm. Let me take a look at you. What do you say? I don¡¯t want to argue with you.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en tried her best to hold her emotions back when she saw Jiang Chen and even offered to take a look at him. Since things had already come to this, Su Zhi¡¯en had to bear with it to at least have a chance to see her son.


    Ming Ze was right. As long as Su Zhi¡¯en succeeded, Jiang Chen might agree to let Su Zhi¡¯en see her son. However, just as she finished speaking, Jiang Chen sneered.


    ¡°Take a look at me? Do you think I¡¯m going to put my life in your hands? I know what you¡¯re thinking, Su Zhi¡¯en. You just can¡¯t wait for me to die so you can take my son away from me. Let me tell you. You¡¯re dreaming if you think I¡¯m going to let you do that.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was angered and began to laugh. She wasn¡¯t going to leave quietly. ¡°No, let me tell you! I don¡¯t want to take my son away from you because I just realized how pointless it would be for me to take him away. Jiang Wei will naturally inherit your business and all of your money when you¡¯re dead.


    ¡°As his mother, all of his inheritance will be mine too. So, don¡¯t you think this is a much better deal for me? When the time comes, I¡¯ll look for a new victim. If anyone dares to disobey me, I¡¯ll give them a cerebral hemorrhage as well!¡±


    ¡°What the hell did you say, Su Zhi¡¯en?! I dare you to repeat it!¡± These words were like poking a hornet¡¯s nest. In an instant, the murderous aura from Jiang Chen burst out. His face looked as though dark clouds covered it.


    It seemed that in the next moment, as long as Su Zhi¡¯en were to say anything unpleasant, Jiang Chen would tear her into shreds. But if he lost his temper, his cerebral hemorrhage would get triggered..

 Chapter 26 - Using a Chainsaw to Split Open a Ladle

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this moment, Su Zhi¡¯en felt provoked by Jiang Chen. ¡®If he wants me to repeat myself, I¡¯ll repeat myself. Does he think that I¡¯m afraid of him?¡¯


    ¡°Am I wrong? I told you I wanted to treat you, and you said I wanted to kill you. Since that¡¯s the case, then we¡¯ll do as you wish. Let me tell you, if you hadn¡¯t ¡®offered¡¯ me your sperm back then, there wouldn¡¯t have been a relationship between us.


    ¡°I¡¯m treating your illness for the sake of my son. I¡¯ll let you live a few more years. Otherwise, it will be useless even if you were to kneel and beg me!¡±


    Jiang Chen was shocked. The hall was in complete silence, and the atmosphere was genuinely terrifying. Even the maid felt numb.


    ¡®This is too terrifying. Who on earth is this woman? She dares to say such things to Master Jiang. Whenever Miss Tong came here, she didn¡¯t even have the guts to behave this way. When Miss Tong was here, she would always coax Master Jiang. With just a glance, Miss Tong would stop speaking. So who does this woman think she is? God?¡¯


    The maid, who had been here earlier, was weary of all this commotion. She then tried to slip away and hide.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Just when everyone present at the mansion thought that there would be a bloodbath between Su Zhi¡¯en and Jiang Chen, a small figure suddenly appeared from upstairs¡ªit was Jiang Wei.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s anger immediately subsided. She raised her gaze to look at Jiang Wei and revealed a smile as though she was pleasantly surprised. It was a genuine smile that came from the bottom of her heart.


    ¡°Why did you come out of your room, Jiang Wei? Did I disturb your sleep?¡±


    ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Wei was straightforward. The indifferent expression on his face was filled with impatience after being disturbed.


    Su Zhi¡¯en no longer felt like arguing with the arrogant Jiang Chen. She quickly walked toward the stairs, raised her head, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Jiang Wei. It¡¯s late, and I¡¯ve disturbed your sleep. Don¡¯t worry. We won¡¯t argue anymore. You should go back to sleep.


    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you wearing a coat? You could catch a cold. Go back to your room and get some sleep.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en turned into a typical mother with all the nagging she did.


    However, Jiang Wei had no intentions of talking to her at all. He stood upstairs and looked at his father with a gloomy face. ¡°Father, you once told me that a doctor should treat every disease. The doctor is here now, so how come you¡¯re not letting her treat you?¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment. He probably didn¡¯t expect his son to question him so suddenly. Moreover, his mind was still in a state of lunacy from being angered by Su Zhi¡¯en, so he didn¡¯t have time to react.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want the doctor to take a look at you now, then you can¡¯t force me to see a doctor in the future too.¡± Jiang Wei uttered those unkind words from above and turned around to leave.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, how could you be so rude?¡± At this moment, Jiang Chen¡¯s handsome face turned dark as though dark clouds covered it. This son of his showed him no mercy. Even the old geezers, who were the Board of Directors in the Jiang Corporation, had to be respectful when they saw Jiang Chen. However, Jiang Wei didn¡¯t seem to care at all.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. His eyes stared at Su Zhi¡¯en, red as if he wanted to skin her alive. He hadn¡¯t forgotten what Su Zhi¡¯en had said.


    ¡°Fine, if you don¡¯t want me to take a look at you, I won¡¯t, alright?! I¡¯ll go away now. I just don¡¯t want to bother Jiang Wei.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en felt a headache when she saw the look in Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes. She didn¡¯t want to argue with him anymore, so she turned around and left, just like Jiang Wei.


    But as she was leaving, the arrogant Jiang Chen relented, ¡°Su Zhi¡¯en, just so you know, I¡¯m only going to let you treat me for my son¡¯s sake. If you make even the slightest mistake, I guarantee you that your uncle and the rest of his family will all be buried alongside you!¡±


    ¡®Am I the crazy one here? Do I honestly have to treat this arrogant man? And why does he always threaten me with my uncle¡¯s family?¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en stopped and stared at Jiang Chen coldly. ¡°Then, If I manage to cure you, please have some morals afterward. Try not to bring your entire family down with you. I would like my son to live a long life, you illiterate!¡±


    Jiang Chen was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect Su Zhi¡¯en to become so fierce and ruthless when she was such a fearful and submissive person in the past. But the two of them finally reached a temporary agreement.


    Perhaps it was because Jiang Chen didn¡¯t trust Su Zhi¡¯en, or maybe it was because he had never tried acupuncture before. The amusing part was that the arrogant Jiang Chen, who had a nasty attitude toward Su Zhi¡¯en, was now listening to her instructions while lying on the sofa.


    Su Zhi¡¯en saw a trace of tension on Jiang Chen¡¯s face.


    ¡®Oh, is he nervous?¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en pulled a stool over with a cold expression on her face, sat behind Jiang Chen¡¯s head, and half-jokingly, half-mockingly said, ¡°Oh Great Director Jiang, you don¡¯t have to be so nervous. I can¡¯t pierce through that thick skull of yours with a tiny needle. If I wanted to do that, then I¡¯d use a chainsaw. Only then should you be nervous!¡±


    Jiang Chen fell silent..

 Chapter 27 - She Should Have Ripped His Head Off

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Jiang Chen wanted to knock Su Zhi¡¯en on her head. He glared at the crazy Su Zhi¡¯en. In the end, he closed his eyes, and his tense body slowly began to relax.


    Su Zhi¡¯en noticed this and proceeded to pick up a needle, and she then began to pierce the acupuncture points on Jiang Chen¡¯s head carefully.


    As for Jiang Chen¡¯s illness, when Su Zhi¡¯en saw his medical record in Country R¡¯s hospital, she already knew how to treat it. She even held a seminar at that time. Insomnia was known as a sleeping disorder in the western medical world.


    Their treatment methods were nothing more than valium and psychological counseling. However, these treatment methods had significant drawbacks. The patients would begin to develop independence to valium. Once a patient became dependent and stopped taking valium, falling asleep would be even more challenging, especially if the patient wasn¡¯t in a good mental state.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en took a look at Jiang Chen¡¯s medical records, the first thing she thought of was to use her needles to seal the acupoints that had been the cause of his trauma. This method would not have any significant side effects.


    Only then would Su Zhi¡¯en prescribe some medicinal herbs to Jiang Chen. The medicinal herbs would slowly enter his body, replenish his Qi, and improve blood flow. By then, the medicinal herbs would naturally cure him of his insomnia.


    ¡°Ngh¡­¡±


    After just one needle, Su Zhi¡¯en heard the arrogant Jiang Chen snort in pain. Seeing this, Su Zhi¡¯en immediately looked at him and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you feel pain in your ear? Did your vision blur for a moment?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en would abandon any personal thoughts when she was treating a patient. She was a doctor with a conscience that has sworn an oath. So, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t need to worry about Su Zhi¡¯en killing him on the spot. Even if she did end up killing him, it wasn¡¯t the right time.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s half-clenched fingers twitched.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en saw that Jiang Chen didn¡¯t answer, she proceeded to pick up a second needle. ¡°Relax, those are regular occurrences. You will feel better after this needle goes in, and your nerves will temporarily slow down.¡±


    Jiang Chen, lying on the sofa, felt another needle-like pain on his forehead. Immediately, his head, which had been in constant pain for a long time, felt as though it had finally been suppressed. A sense of exhaustion overcame him as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.


    ¡®It seems that his crazy woman is quite capable.¡¯ As Jiang Chen was losing consciousness, this thought appeared in his mind. After that, he fell into a deep sleep with a strong sense of fatigue. It has been a long time since he could get any proper sleep. ¡®I can finally fall asleep peacefully.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en was relieved when she saw that Jiang Chen had fallen asleep. At least no one was foulmouthed during this process. This acupoint was challenging to locate. Jiang Chen was too sick, which caused several acupoints to be blocked. Fortunately, Su Zhi¡¯en was able to identify the correct acupoints in the end.


    Su Zhi¡¯en withdrew the needles and planned to take a break. As soon as she pulled the needle out, the arrogant Jiang Chen, who had finally fallen asleep, tilted his head. When Su Zhi¡¯en saw this, she subconsciously reached her hand out to hold his head. Jiang Chen¡¯s head then slipped into her palm.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked.


    The unfamiliar warmth in her palm shocked her. She immediately pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, pushing Jiang Chen away. She was so scared that her face turned pale.


    ¡®This is ridiculous.¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en and Jiang Chen were no longer involved with each other, and she had told herself countless times that Jiang Chen was just an irrelevant stranger to her. If she had the chance, she would have liked to rip his head off.


    While Jiang Chen was asleep, his usual aggressiveness and coldness were gone. His soft, fair skin and distinct facial features were a rare sight to see. For a moment, Su Zhi¡¯en felt as though she had returned to her childhood, back to when she first saw Jiang Chen.


    ¡°Is he really asleep?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked and immediately came back to her senses. Jiang Wei had come downstairs and was staring at his father.


    ¡°Yes, he¡¯s asleep. Jiang Wei, why did you come downstairs? Aren¡¯t you supposed to be asleep?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en immediately gathered her thoughts and put away the medical bag beside her.


    Jiang Wei ignored her and went straight to his father¡¯s side. He was genuinely concerned about his father. It was just that Jiang Wei was not good at expressing himself. It was apparent that he didn¡¯t have much experience interacting with people.


    Other than talking to his father, Jiang Wei didn¡¯t care to speak with the servants, or rather, he just didn¡¯t care about anyone else at all. He usually did not respond to anyone else that approached him.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry, Jiang Wei. Aunt Zhi¡¯en will definitely cure your father.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Wei raised his head and looked at Su Zhi¡¯en.


    ¡°Of course, I will. Aunt Zhi¡¯en will never lie to you. You should know that I¡¯m a famous doctor. Every patient that I¡¯ve ever treated has fully recovered.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en purposely told Jiang Wei about all the patients she had successfully cured over the past five years to reassure him. She just wanted him to know that he had nothing to worry about.


    Seeing that the frown on Jiang Wei¡¯s face gradually disappeared, the corners of Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s lips began to curl up..

 Chapter 28 - He Seemed to Have Offended Her

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Okay then,¡± Jiang Wei replied expressionlessly and turned around to go back upstairs.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was stunned. ¡°Jiang Wei, are you going upstairs already?¡±


    Jiang Wei replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going back to bed.¡±


    Jiang Wei finally responded to Su Zhi¡¯en because she had treated his father. Su Zhi¡¯en was extremely happy that Jiang Wei had finally responded to her. She quickly walked toward him and struck while the iron was hot. ¡°Can Aunt Zhi¡¯en tuck you in?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need,¡± Jiang Wei firmly refused.


    Su Zhi¡¯en felt that she had overstepped, but she didn¡¯t force Jiang Chen, nor did she give up trying to interact with him. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to come and visit her son, so of course, she wouldn¡¯t give up trying so quickly. ¡°By the way, I brought you some delicious food. You should try some. I think you will like it.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t wait for Jiang Chen to react. She immediately turned around, picked up her bag, and took out a box of hibiscus cake. It was Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s favorite, and she had just made it today. She would often make it because Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning also liked it.


    When Ming Ze called and said that Su Zhi¡¯en would have a chance to see Jiang Wei, she subconsciously packed the last box of hibiscus cake as she was leaving the house. However, she didn¡¯t expect to give it to Jiang Wei.


    Before Jiang Wei could say anything, the maid appeared and said, ¡°What do you have in your hands? How dare you give that to Young Master Jiang?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I made it myself. There are no issues with it. Here, I¡¯ll eat some to show you that it¡¯s safe.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en just wanted to prove that the cake wasn¡¯t poisonous.


    Even though she was just a maid, she refused to believe Su Zhi¡¯en. The maid didn¡¯t really care if the cake that Su Zhi¡¯en brought was poisonous or not.


    ¡°Just because you ate it doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s not poisonous. Who are you to offer Yong Master Jiang strange food? He won¡¯t just eat any food! Young Master Jiang, let¡¯s go back to sleep.¡±


    ¡°Y-You¡­¡± Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face turned red. She was Jiang Wei¡¯s mother, but the others treated her as though she was just a stranger.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s eyes turned red as she looked at Jiang Wei get taken away. She felt offended at this moment, as though a knife had stabbed her heart. It was so unbearable that she almost began to cry. She only wanted to see her son¡¯s reaction.


    Just like that, Jiang Wei was being taken away by the maid. However, Jiang Wei felt Su Zhi¡¯en gazing toward him for some reason. It reminded him of that time on the boat when Su Zhi¡¯en looked at him with the same intensity. She had bitterly begged Jiang Wei to go over so that she could get a closer look at him.


    ¡°Give it to me!¡± Jiang Wei suddenly turned around and looked at Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Amid Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s sadness, she became overjoyed as if she had come back to life. She immediately ran over to Jiang Wei with the box of hibiscus cake in her hands.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, I knew you wouldn¡¯t mind. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve made it with fresh ingredients, and it¡¯s very delicious. You can try it anytime you want. I can make more if you like it.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en squatted in front of Jiang Wei, as her eyes were still red. When she said this, she couldn¡¯t help but be happy. She foolishly laughed and cried at the same time.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Jiang Wei said coldly. He then took the box of hibiscus cake into his room. Jiang Wei had never eaten such a thing before. He was the future heir of the Jiang family. All of his clothes, food, and accommodations were top-notch. He had never eaten anything that a professional chef didn¡¯t prepare.


    Jiang Wei glanced at the hibiscus cake. It was fragrant, and it smelled like honey and flowers. He knew that he would like it the moment he smelled it.


    Su Zhi¡¯en then left feeling satisfied. As soon as she left, the maid who had tried to stop Su Zhi¡¯en immediately returned to her bedroom and secretly made a phone call. ¡°Miss Tong, the woman you mentioned, came to Fu Mansion just now.¡±


    ¡°She did?!¡± Tong Jingxian was so shocked and angry that even her voice changed.


    The maid quickly nodded. ¡°She said that she came here to treat Master Jiang. I saw her treating him with acupuncture, and Master Jiang ended up falling asleep. She even brought a box of hibiscus cake that she made for Young Master Jiang, and he surprisingly accepted it. Who is that woman, Miss Tong? Why didn¡¯t Master Jiang and his son chase her out? I also seemed to have offended that woman. This¡­¡±


    Tong Jingxian was silent. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to the maid¡¯s pointless ranting. Tong Jingxian only felt anger in her heart. ¡®It would seem that I have underestimated you, Su Zhi¡¯en. It looks like you have some tricks up your sleeve. Not only did you manage to go into Fu Mansion, but your ex-husband and your son have also begun to trust you. Do you want to reclaim your position as Madam Jiang? Keep dreaming!¡¯


    Tong Jingxian¡¯s eyes glinted with a strong murderous intent as she stood in the darkness.


    ¡°Miss Tong, are you there?¡±

 Chapter 29 - Two Little Foxes

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯re overthinking it. Su Zhi¡¯en is the doctor that Master Jiang hired from abroad. Don¡¯t be nervous, Aunt Lin. You just need to take good care of Master Jiang and Jiang Wei. Don¡¯t let them get sick.¡±


    Tong Jingxian resumed her gentle tone. At this moment, all of her anger had seemingly subsided. She began comforting the maid instead. Tong Jingxian sounded gentle and virtuous.


    Hearing this, Aunt Lin immediately stopped worrying and recomposed herself. ¡°I don¡¯t know what Master Jiang is thinking. You are such a good person, Miss Tong. Why did Master Jiang forbid you from coming to Fu Mansion?


    ¡°You looked after this place well. Whenever Master Jiang would come home, there would be hot meals prepared for him. You even took excellent care of Young Master Jiang¡¯s living arrangements. Why is Master Jiang so fickle-minded?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, Aunt Lin, it¡¯s all my fault. I don¡¯t blame them.¡±


    ¡°Why do you say that? Young Master Jiang is an only child. He¡¯s spoiled, stubborn, and disobedient. Which child doesn¡¯t need to be disciplined from time to time? Don¡¯t worry, Miss Tong. I¡¯ll convince Master Jiang to let you return to Fu Mansion as soon as possible.¡± This was the last thing Aunt Lin said to Tong Jingxian before hanging up the phone.


    As soon as Aunt Lin hung up the phone, Tong Jingxian began to smile. Her expression resembled a venomous snake, cold and malicious, and it would make people shudder at the sight of it.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en returned to her rental apartment, Aunt Su had already left. Aunt Su had even left some food for Su Zhi¡¯en. The two children had also gone to bed early.


    ¡°My dear babies. Mommy has let you down again.¡± When Su Zhi¡¯en saw her children sleeping soundly, she felt guilty. She quickly removed her shoes and went into her children¡¯s room. As Su Zhi¡¯en pushed the door open, she whispered, ¡°Yu¡¯an, Yuning, are you asleep?¡±


    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re finally home,¡± Bai Yu¡¯an answered as he was still awake.


    Su Zhi¡¯en felt even more guilty. She hugged Bai Yu¡¯an tightly in her arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Yu¡¯an. It¡¯s all my fault. After I¡¯m done here, I promise that I will bring you and your sister back to Country R as soon as possible, okay?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an nodded obediently. ¡°Okay, Mommy. You don¡¯t have to worry. Just focus on your work. I will take good care of Yuning.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en began to feel even more upset. She hugged Bai Yu¡¯an and made a promise to him, reminding herself that she could no longer ignore her children. Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning were also her children. Su Zhi¡¯en then coaxed her son to sleep and returned to her room.


    However, as soon as she closed the door, Bai Yu¡¯an opened his eyes again. He wasn¡¯t sleepy at all. ¡°Mommy must have been harassed by that evil man again. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have said those words all of a sudden. Why is that evil man constantly harassing my mother? Even if you are my real dad, I will never forgive you for this!¡± Bai Yu¡¯an clenched his fists.


    The following day, because Bai Yuning and her brother were going to a new kindergarten, Su Zhi¡¯en woke up early to make their favorite breakfast. ¡°Yuning, wake up! Yu¡¯an is waiting for you. He¡¯s already prepared to go to kindergarten.¡±


    ¡°No, he¡¯s not. Yu¡¯an isn¡¯t up yet. I¡¯m going back to sleep for a little while more.¡±


    The children loved to stay in bed, and whenever they heard their mother¡¯s voice, they would become even more pampered. Although the children didn¡¯t say it aloud, they missed their mother so much that they returned to being regular children. Bai Yuning began to play tricks on her mother, so she immediately curled up in her blanket, like a little worm inside a cocoon.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en noticed this, she didn¡¯t pull the blanket off. Instead, she began to tickle her daughter¡¯s little neck. Su Zhi¡¯en immediately heard the sound of giggling coming from under the blanket.


    Bai Yu¡¯an was much more trouble-free, however. From the moment Su Zhi¡¯en opened the door, he had already quickly gotten up. After changing into his uniform, he went straight into the bathroom. Half an hour later, Su Zhi¡¯en and her children were finally ready to head out.


    ¡°Mommy, when will you come to pick us up? Make sure you¡¯re not late this time!¡± Bai Yu¡¯an looked at his mother, who had hurriedly brought him and his sister to the car, with a sad expression on her face.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en heard this, she quickly promised her son, ¡°I won¡¯t be late this time. Mommy will arrive on time to pick you two up.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning, sitting in the car¡¯s back seat, looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. They only needed to know that their mother would arrive at the appointed time so that they would have enough time to execute their plan. ¡®Just you wait, you evil man. Bai Yu¡¯an is coming to have a little chat with you!¡¯


    As for Su Zhi¡¯en, she still had to go to Fu Mansion.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Chen woke up from his sleep, feeling good.


    Su Zhi¡¯en planned to continue treating Jiang Chen, but as she entered the pharmacy, she received a message from Ming Ze. ¡°Madam Su, Director Jiang is awake. Please come to Fu Mansion immediately!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en looked at the message on her phone and urged the staff member at the pharmacy to quickly hand her the medicine before rushing over to Fu Mansion.


    Jiang Chen had slept exceedingly well last night. It was the first time he could sleep so soundly after many years. Therefore, Jiang Chen was in a better mood today. ¡°Pass this message on.. There will be a company meeting in exactly half an hour!¡±

 Chapter 30 - The Doctor-Patient Relationship Shouldn’t Be So Tense, Right?

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Jiang Chen was unprecedentedly energetic today. In the mirror, he looked at himself as his dark-colored shirt and straightened collar made him look noble and elegant.


    ¡°Yes, Director Jiang!¡± Ming Ze immediately unlocked his phone and informed the company members about Jiang Chen¡¯s important announcement.


    Jiang Chen then put on his wristwatch a few minutes later and proceeded to leave Fu Mansion.


    ¡°Um, Director Jiang, Doctor Su is currently on her way here. Why don¡¯t you wait for her to arrive so that she can take a look at your condition before you leave?¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯re so free recently, why don¡¯t you take over the new project in Africa?¡± Jiang Chen, who was striding down the stairs, made a serious consideration.


    Ming Ze shuddered and didn¡¯t dare to speak again. He was afraid of the hot weather in Africa, so he wasn¡¯t interested in going. ¡®I shouldn¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s lives anymore if I want to live a full life, right?¡¯


    Furthermore, Ming Ze had already done so much. Whether or not he accepted this opportunity was up to him. Ming Ze accepted his fate and continued to follow behind Jiang Chen.


    Just as Jiang Chen and Ming Ze were about to leave, a slender figure suddenly appeared in front of them. With a bang, the slender figure bumped into Jiang Chen.


    Ming Ze was dumbfounded. Without thinking, he quickly turned around and ran away, and as for Su Zhi¡¯en, who bumped into Jiang Chen, she sighed and began to wonder what had happened.


    ¡°Good morning, Director Jiang. Are you heading to work?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en hurriedly recomposed herself and tidied up her hair. She didn¡¯t feel the need to explain herself. After all, she seemed to have purposefully bumped into Jiang Chen.


    Jiang Chen was livid, and his good mood was gone instantly. ¡°Who let you in this time? You¡¯re getting bolder and bolder by the day, Su Zhi¡¯en. Do you have a death wish?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m getting bolder, Director Jiang, nor do I have a death wish. We¡¯ve already discussed how I wanted to live last night. I¡¯m your doctor, and you are my patient. I¡¯m just being responsible. Did you sleep well after I treated you with acupuncture?


    ¡°It¡¯s just that piercing only two acupoints won¡¯t fully cure your illness. You also need medicine. I¡¯ve brought all the medicine you need with me.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en then wiggled the medicine bag she had brought in front of Jiang Chen.


    When Jiang Chen saw the medicine bag, his expression immediately became unsightly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Chen, I¡¯ll say this one last time. I¡¯m your doctor, and you¡¯re my patient. Besides, I¡¯ve already promised Jiang Wei that I¡¯ll definitely cure you.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t give him the chance to refuse. She grabbed Jiang Chen¡¯s hand and immediately checked his pulse.


    The veins on Jiang Chen¡¯s forehead throbbed violently. For a moment, he almost shoved Su Zhi¡¯en away out of reflex. However, when he looked down at Su Zhi¡¯en, she looked different than usual.


    Her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as a lake. Under the morning sunlight, her expression revealed a particular attentiveness. It was an expression that only a doctor would have when diagnosing a patient. Jiang Chen reluctantly accepted this.


    ¡°It¡¯s just as I thought. The blockage is still severe. That¡¯s not much of a problem, however. You will feel more of a change after taking this medicine for a week.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en let go of Jiang Chen¡¯s hand and sternly told him the results of her diagnosis.


    Jiang Chen had already calmed himself down. Hearing this, he pulled his hand back emotionlessly. His cold gaze then swept over the medicine bag in Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s hand. ¡°Just give the medicine bag to the servants here.¡±


    ¡°No, I have to extract the essence in the herbs myself. I¡¯m afraid that the servants might ruin it. The medicine needs to be treated with utmost care.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en frowned and refused.


    ¡°You¡¯re afraid that my servants will ruin the herbs? Do you think that the servants that have been in the Fu Mansion for more than ten years are just for show? Do you think that I¡¯m a three-year-old child, Su Zhi¡¯en? Do you honestly think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re trying to do?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face was ashen as she stood there. She knew that she couldn¡¯t hide it from Jiang Chen. After all, her motive was apparent. No matter how hard she tried, Jiang Chen would always be able to see right through her.


    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll admit it. I just wanted to use this as an excuse to see Jiang Wei. But is that too much to ask? I¡¯m his mother. It¡¯s not against the law for me to see him, right? Honestly, why would I speak about the law to a person who is blind to the law? I¡¯m trying to cure your illness. Can¡¯t you just take it as a small token of appreciation? A doctor-patient relationship shouldn¡¯t be so tense, right?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en then raised her head as she became misty-eyed. Her hair and delicate face were full of grievance and sadness. She couldn¡¯t control herself whenever she mentioned Jiang Wei.


    Jiang Chen was stunned for a while, and at that moment, the image of Su Zhi¡¯en slitting her wrist with a piece of broken glass on the boat the other night just to get Jiang Chen to protect his son suddenly appeared in his mind. ¡®Even if this woman had a thousand wrongdoings, I can¡¯t deny that she truly loves her son.¡¯


    Jiang Chen proceeded to leave without saying a word.


    Meanwhile, Ming Ze, who was hiding not too far away, saw their whole interaction. When he came out of hiding and went to follow Jiang Chen, he secretly gave Su Zhi¡¯en a thumbs up and whispered, ¡°Well done..¡±

 Chapter 31 - A Strange Woman

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Ultimately, Su Zhi¡¯en was allowed to stay. After she finished brewing the medicine for Jiang Chen, she excitedly ran upstairs to look for her son. ¡°Jiang Wei?¡±


    ¡°Why are you yelling? Young Master Jiang hasn¡¯t woken up yet! Master Jiang said that you are allowed to stay and brew the medicine, but he didn¡¯t say that you could disturb his son!¡± When Aunt Lin saw Su Zhi¡¯en calling for Jiang Wei, she angrily intervened.


    However, Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t be bothered with Aunt Lin. She had already gotten Jiang Chen¡¯s permission so no one else could stop her from looking for her son. When Su Zhi¡¯en heard that her son hadn¡¯t woken up yet, she immediately went to the kitchen to make her son an exquisite breakfast.


    She didn¡¯t know what Jiang Wei liked to eat, so she just made something his siblings would like. She always felt that her children enjoyed the same things. Su Zhi¡¯en then carried the food to the second floor and looked for Jiang Wei¡¯s bedroom based on her memories from last night.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, it¡¯s Aunt Zhi¡¯en. Are you awake? I made you some breakfast. I prepared custard buns, chicken porridge with a preserved egg, and banana pancakes. I think you¡¯ll like them.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en managed to find the room and gently knocked on the door. She then called out to Jiang Wei. However, she was a little disappointed. She called out to him a few times, but there were still no signs of movement inside the bedroom.


    ¡®He hasn¡¯t woken up yet, has he?¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en was about to leave and wait downstairs for a while when a small figure suddenly appeared in the corridor to her right. ¡°What are you doing here? Who let you come upstairs?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was shocked. She turned her head and saw that Jiang Wei was not in the room. ¡°Jiang Wei? So you were already awake. Let¡¯s go downstairs and have some breakfast. Are you hungry? Why aren¡¯t you wearing a coat?¡±


    Jiang Wei didn¡¯t pay any attention to her. Instead, he just turned around and left. Su Zhi¡¯en seemed helpless. She was very patient with Jiang Wei, especially when he was reluctant to interact with her. She proceeded to follow him.


    Soon, they came across a wide-open garden. At this time, Jiang Wei ran straight to the children¡¯s playground to play. ¡®So this is how rich people lived.¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en placed the food she brought over onto a marble table in the garden and walked toward the playground. ¡°Jiang Wei, let¡¯s have some breakfast before we play, okay? Otherwise, you¡¯ll starve.¡±


    ¡°No!¡± Jiang Wei retorted impatiently.


    Su Zhi¡¯en felt troubled. ¡®This is one tough kid to coax. He doesn¡¯t seem to behave like his brother at all. Yu¡¯an just ate obediently without even being told.¡¯ Su Zhi¡¯en squatted beside Jiang Wei and thought for a moment. ¡°Jiang Wei, I¡¯m guessing that you want to go and visit your father, right? So, how about this, as long as you finish your breakfast, I¡¯ll promise to take you to him.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Wei reacted instantly.


    It seems that Su Zhi¡¯en was right. ¡®This is what children with autism are like. They are detached and refuse to interact with others. However, there is someone that Jiang Wei relies on very much, and no one could separate Jiang Wei from that person.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en felt a little jealous of Jiang Chen. ¡®One day, Jiang Wei is going to rely on me instead!¡¯


    Jiang Wei ended up eating the breakfast that Su Zhi¡¯en had brought up. When Aunt Lin came up to collect the dishes, her eyes opened wide. ¡°Young Master Jiang, did you eat all of this?¡±


    ¡°Yes, he ate all of it. Is there something wrong?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en felt that it was strange when she heard this. ¡®This is a child¡¯s normal appetite. Why did she react that way? Does Jiang Wei usually have a small appetite?¡¯


    Jiang Wei didn¡¯t usually eat much at home. He would only eat a little bit of food unless his father personally made it for him.


    Aunt Lin carried the dishes downstairs in shock. She then pondered for a moment and proceeded to call Tong Jingxian. ¡°Miss Tong, that woman is suspicious. She cooked some food for Jiang Wei, and he ate all of it.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Tong Jingxian was trimming some branches when she heard this on the other side of the phone. With a snap, she accidentally cut some flowers.


    ¡°Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! I lied to Master Jiang and told him that the food he had cooked for Young Master Jiang was still available, so he went straight to work. I waited for him to leave and proceeded to cook some food on my own for Young Master Jiang, but he didn¡¯t eat any of it.


    I would¡¯ve called you and asked you to cook for him, but that annoying woman came over again,¡± Aunt Lin said in disgust over the phone as though she wanted to kick Su Zhi¡¯en out of Fu Mansion immediately.


    Tong Jingxian was in a daze as she held the scissors in her hand and continued cutting away. She ended up cutting up a whole pot of flowers that were in perfect condition.


    ¡°Miss Tong?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s completely fine as long as Jiang Wei is getting enough to eat. Everything has to be done with Jiang Wei¡¯s health in mind.¡± Tong Jingxian put down the scissors, closed her eyes to suppress her anger, and comforted Aunt Lin gently on the phone.


    Hearing this, Aunt Lin was so touched that her eyes began to tear up. The worry that she felt concerning Su Zhi¡¯en had subsided. ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Miss Tong. You¡¯re so generous even in this situation. But it¡¯s okay. We still have plenty of opportunities to convince Master Jiang to let you come back to Fu Mansion.¡± Aunt Lin promised Tong Jingxian once more before hanging up the phone.


    ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en, huh? I won¡¯t allow you to hang around here any longer..¡¯

 Chapter 32 - Father and Son Finally Meet

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    As Jiang Wei had finished his breakfast, Su Zhi¡¯en kept her promise and prepared to bring him to visit his father. She was going to deliver the medicine to Jiang Chen, anyway. However, she didn¡¯t know that Bai Yu¡¯an had also visited Jiang Chen at noon.


    ¡°Please be careful, Brother. When you see the evil man, you must teach him a lesson for me. Don¡¯t let him harass Mommy anymore!¡± As Bai Yu¡¯an set out from the kindergarten, Bai Yuning repeatedly reminded her brother.


    Bai Yu¡¯an patted his chest and quickly nodded in agreement.


    Thirty minutes later, at the Jiang Corporation in the city¡¯s center. Bai Yu¡¯an was afraid of being discovered, so he deliberately avoided the main entrance, went toward the underground parking lot, and entered the elevator.


    However, when he took the elevator to the floor that he had found based on his research, he suddenly came across a glass door in front of him. Bai Yu¡¯an had no means of entering this room.


    ¡°This is the office area that Director Jiang went to. Why is there a glass door in the way? Could I have been mistaken?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an felt discouraged as he stood there and looked around.


    Seeing that there was no way of getting into the room, Bai Yu¡¯an was about to return to the elevator to go to the other floors and take a look when he heard a mechanical voice suddenly sound from the glass door, ¡°Biometric identification successful. Please enter, Jiang Wei.¡± Then, with a click, the glass door opened.


    ¡®Jiang Wei? That little adult?¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an was confused.


    It seems that his guess was correct. Jiang Wei was the evil man¡¯s son, and because Bai Yu¡¯an had the same face as Jiang Wei, the automated biometric system recognized him.


    ¡®So the evil man is my father who apparently drowned?¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an began to get angry at the thought of this. He then entered the room passed the glass door. Only then did he realize that he wasn¡¯t in Jiang Chen¡¯s office at all. Instead, he was in a fully accessorized and luxurious lounge area.


    There was a television, a sofa, a bed, and other entertainment equipment. It looked like a home. ¡®This is probably where the evil man rested. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be a glass door outside with an automated biometric system installed.¡¯


    After Bai Yu¡¯an took a good look at the lounge area, he decided to go out and continue his search for the evil man. But at this moment, the sound of the glass door opening echoed. ¡°Biometric identification successful. Please enter, Jiang Chen.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an was shocked. It was the evil man. ¡®Why is he here? What should I do now?¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an panicked and quickly ran backward. After anxiously looking around for a while, Bai Yu¡¯an rushed into the bedroom and hid in its closet.


    Although Bai Yu¡¯an was looking for the evil man, he didn¡¯t expect that the evil man would discover him so soon. Bai Yu¡¯an only wanted to come over to gather information on his enemy so that he wouldn¡¯t be so helpless when the evil man harassed his mother next time.


    Bai Yu¡¯an hid in the bedroom closet as he held his breath. However, he didn¡¯t expect the evil man to come into the bedroom and head straight to the closet that he was hiding in.


    ¡°What the hell is in that medicine? It¡¯s so bitter, and it smells horrible!¡±


    Jiang Chen, who had just been forced to drink an entire cup of medicine in his office, reached out and opened the closet door. He was about to get a change of clothes because the smell of the medicine stuck onto his clothes.


    ¡°Ouch!¡±


    ¡°What in the world?!¡±


    Jiang Chen and Bai Yu¡¯an stood at the closet door staring at each other. They did not make a sound, as the atmosphere became awkward.


    Jiang Cheng discovered Bai Yu¡¯an, who was hiding in the closet. Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s face was ashen, but what made Bai Yu¡¯an curious was that the evil man stared at him for a long while before revealing a confused expression on his face.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, why are you here? Weren¡¯t you in the office?¡±


    ¡®Jiang Wei? That little adult is also here?¡¯ The brilliant Bai Yu¡¯an immediately understood what was happening. Bai Yu¡¯an reacted quickly and smiled sweetly at the evil man. ¡°Yes, I just came upstairs!¡±


    Jiang Chen was stunned. ¡®Did my son just smile at me? I think the bitter medicine affected my vision. He also said that he had just come upstairs. Then why didn¡¯t I see him on the way up here? Did he sneak past me while I was on the phone?¡¯


    Jiang Chen squinted his eyes, but he didn¡¯t overthink it. Suddenly, his phone began to ring. ¡°Since you¡¯re up here, you should stay. The female doctor has already left. Don¡¯t go wandering around. I¡¯ll bring you home when I¡¯m done with work.¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an blinked his almond-shaped eyes. The female doctor? Was he referring to Mommy? So Mommy brought the little adult here?¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an wasn¡¯t able to process all this information in time. However, he was a brilliant kid, so he obediently nodded when he heard that the evil man told him to stay up here.


    ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t go wandering around. You can continue doing your work.¡±


    Jiang Chen was again confused by the bright smile on the child¡¯s face. ¡®It seems as though that dreadful woman has affected him. I¡¯ve already said that she can¡¯t be allowed to interact with my son, and now look at what¡¯s she¡¯s done to him. He didn¡¯t even call me Father just now!¡¯


    Jiang Chen¡¯s face turned gloomy.


    When Bai Yu¡¯an saw that Jiang Chen had finally left, he hurriedly ran out of the lounge area and exited through the glass door..

 Chapter 33 - The Most Shocking Scene

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s eyes glinted. Now that Jiang Wei was also here, it would be a huge problem if Jiang Chen were to find out that the two children looked exactly alike. Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s instincts reminded him that he and his sister must not be discovered.


    Bai Yu¡¯an snuck out and planned to head to the kindergarten. Just as he was about to leave the door, he unexpectedly saw Aunt Su and his sister dragging a little boy about his age into the car at the building¡¯s entrance.


    ¡°When did they get here? Why were they dragging the little adult into the car?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an felt as though he was going crazy. Just as he was about to run out of the building, a voice echoed from behind him.


    ¡°Young Master Jiang? Why did you come downstairs? Didn¡¯t Director Jiang tell you to stay in the lounge? It¡¯s dangerous here. Let¡¯s go back to the lounge. Uncle Ming Ze will bring you back upstairs.¡± Coincidentally, Ming Ze was also downstairs.


    Bai Yu¡¯an could only watch helplessly as his dumb sister and the muddle-headed Aunt Su dragged the struggling Jiang Wei into the car. As for himself, he was forcefully brought back to the lounge. Bai Yu¡¯an felt as though the world was ending.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, I asked you a question. Why didn¡¯t you stay in the lounge as I told you to? What did I tell you when I left the lounge? When did you become so disobedient?¡± After hearing that his son had snuck out, Jiang Chen walked into the office and proceeded to question him.


    Bai Yu¡¯an remained silent and felt a little disgruntled. He wanted to tell Jiang Chen that he wasn¡¯t his son but someone who looked exactly like him. Bai Yu¡¯an didn¡¯t expect the little adult to be taken away so suddenly.


    Bai Yu¡¯an sat on the sofa, feeling discouraged. He held his face as he sulked. ¡°Can you leave me alone? I¡¯m getting very annoyed right now. I ran downstairs because I wanted to play. I¡¯m already five years old. I¡¯m no longer a child, and you can¡¯t lock me up forever. I have basic human rights, too.¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± As Jiang Chen sat at his desk, he could no longer care why his son did not call him Father, and he only felt suspicious. Jiang Wei would never say too many things at once, and he would never tell others that he was annoyed.


    Jiang Wei was a person who would quietly isolate himself in his room whenever he would get angry or annoyed. There was no way that Jiang Chen would ever hear the word annoyed from his son¡¯s mouth.


    His son also said he didn¡¯t want to be locked up anymore and wanted to go out and play. Jiang Chen felt that something was off about his son. He frowned and walked out from behind his desk toward his son. ¡°Jiang Wei, look at me. Let me ask you something. Did that female doctor say something to you?¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an immediately raised his head and blinked his almond-shaped eyes at the evil man. He still didn¡¯t want to admit that this person was his father, who apparently drowned at sea.


    However, the impostor Jiang Wei¡¯s reaction made the evil man¡¯s eyebrows furrow even more. ¡°That female doctor was the one who brought you here. Did she say anything to you this morning? Why did you decide to follow her here? What exactly happened between the two of you?¡±


    Jiang Chen had an interrogative tone. It was as though the doctor he was talking about had done something unforgivable to his son. His face was filled with disgust and hatred.


    ¡®So this is how the evil man would harass Mommy? It¡¯s one thing for a man to abandon a woman and her two children, but he also has the nerve to accuse and harass her?¡¯


    Bai Yu¡¯an was enraged. He jumped up from the sofa and stood in front of Jiang Chen with his head held high and his chest puffed out. His face was red as he said, ¡°What do you mean? What did she do wrong? She treated your illness and brought me here. What¡¯s wrong with that? Why are you interrogating me like this?¡±


    ¡®This child even used the word interrogating.¡¯ Jiang Chen was stunned as he didn¡¯t expect his son to refute. ¡®He would usually sulk and hide, previously or just isolate himself in his room. So when did he learn to argue with me?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯m not questioning her, Jiang Wei. I¡¯m just telling you not to trust others so easily.¡±


    ¡°That doctor lady isn¡¯t just a regular person. She treats me very well!¡± Bai Yu¡¯an was furious. He shouted angrily at the evil man, turned around, and ran out.


    ¡®It seems as though I¡¯m right. This man couldn¡¯t possibly be my father. He even told me not to trust Mommy and slandered her right in front of me!¡¯


    Bai Yu¡¯an quickly ran toward the door as his eyes turned red. Jiang Chen was indeed at a loss for words. Just as he was about to chase after the child, Ming Ze just so happened to walk in. Ming Ze was shocked when he saw the child rushing over with his teary eyes.


    ¡°What happened? Director Jiang, did you make Young Master Jiang cry?¡± Ming Ze closed the door and hugged Bai Yu¡¯an.


    Jiang Chen stood by the sofa and pinched his fingers guiltily. He then went over to the child and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Jiang Wei. It¡¯s all my fault. Will you accept my apology? I shouldn¡¯t have questioned you about the female doctor. Please forgive me.¡± Jiang Chen squatted down in front of the child and genuinely apologized.


    Jiang Chen did an excellent job as a parent in this regard. He taught the child that everyone makes mistakes. When he realized that he had made a mistake, he would personally apologize to the child, and the incident that took place was indeed Jiang Chen¡¯s fault.


    ¡®Although Su Zhi¡¯en is detestable, my son is right. She has, without a doubt, treated my illness and my son well.¡¯ Jiang Chen knew that he shouldn¡¯t let his anger get the best of him and slander Su Zhi¡¯en in front of the child.


    Jiang Chen picked up the child who had stopped making a fuss and returned to the office.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Wei, who had been forcefully brought to the kindergarten, experienced the most terrifying and shocking moment of his life..

 Chapter 34 - We’re Twins

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Brother, it¡¯s a good thing we brought you back. Otherwise, Mommy would have found out.¡± With Aunt Su¡¯s help, Bai Yuning had successfully brought her brother back to kindergarten. She held her brother¡¯s hand and said this in a childish voice.


    Jiang Wei was very resistant, and he didn¡¯t like to be touched. However, along the way, the little girl not only kept touching him with her chubby little hands, she even leaned on him. Jiang Wei felt numb. ¡®Why is she hanging on to me like an octopus?¡¯


    ¡°Why did you say that your mother would find out?¡± Jiang Wei asked dryly.


    ¡°Because we have a break from kindergarten. I also found out that the kindergarten here is only open for half a day on Wednesdays. The teachers said that children aren¡¯t allowed to stay in the kindergarten. So, I quickly called Aunt Su and asked her to pick me up so that we could go and look for you.¡±


    Bai Yuning was incredibly proud of herself when she spoke about this. Otherwise, when their mother came to pick them up later, she would find out that one of her children was missing.


    Bai Yuning held her brother¡¯s hand and skipped into the classroom. As they entered, the teacher expectedly waved at them to come over. ¡°Bai Yuning, it looks like you¡¯ve found your brother. Come over quickly. Your mother will be here soon. Get your schoolbags and follow me.¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Yuning replied in a childish voice. She took out her schoolbag from the locker and carried it on her back.


    Jiang Wei was shocked. This was the kind of school life he was utterly unaccustomed to and had never seen before. Jiang Wei also attended kindergarten, but it was the best kindergarten in the city. The surrounding environment was beautiful, the facilities were top-notch, and the people who went to that kindergarten were rich.


    But in this kindergarten, the teachers were down-to-earth, and the children seemed friendly and harmonious. It was something that Jiang Wei had never experienced before. He then silently let Bai Yuning carry his schoolbag as the teacher brought them out of the classroom.


    ¡°Mommy, you¡¯re here!¡± After being brought out of the classroom, Bai Yuning¡¯s sharp eyes saw a familiar figure. She immediately ran toward her mother excitedly.


    Jiang Wei was surprised. ¡®Mommy? Isn¡¯t that the female doctor that¡¯s treating my father? But she only recently dropped me off at my father¡¯s office building. Is she this girl¡¯s mother?¡¯ Jiang Wei was perplexed. He just stood still and stared blankly at the two people in front of him.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Yu¡¯an? Come on. We¡¯re going home.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en noticed that her son hadn¡¯t come over yet, so she quickly waved at him. ¡®That¡¯s strange. He doesn¡¯t seem to be happy today.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en put Bai Yuning in the car and went to Jiang Wei. ¡°Yu¡¯an, are you angry? Is it because Mommy is late again? I¡¯m really sorry, Yu¡¯an. Mommy didn¡¯t know that the kindergarten is only open for half a day today, so it was already late when I received the call from the kindergarten. Please don¡¯t be angry, okay? Please do Mommy a favor and smile?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en reached out her hand and attempted to playfully pinch her son¡¯s chubby face. However, the moment she moved, the little child turned his head and avoided Su Zhi¡¯en reflexively.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was dumbfounded. She almost thought that the child standing in front of her was not Bai Yu¡¯an but her other son, Jiang Wei, whom she had just spent the whole morning with.


    ¡®Who is Yu¡¯an?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Jiang Wei only gave Su Zhi¡¯en a cold reply in the end as he walked away. Su Zhi¡¯en stared at him in a daze. After a while, she gathered her thoughts and quickly chased after the child.


    ¡°Yu¡¯an, are you really that angry? Please don¡¯t be mad anymore. I know I¡¯m wrong. How about this, Mommy will treat you to ice cream, okay?


    ¡°Yes! I want blueberry-flavored ice cream, and I also want to have a roasted hotdog!¡± Jiang Wei did not answer, but Bai Yuning did as she clapped her hands happily.


    Twenty minutes later, Su Zhi¡¯en, who had bought some vegetables, finally brought her two children back to the rental apartment. At this time, the two children had already devoured two ice cream cones and two roasted hotdogs.


    ¡°Is it good, Brother?¡± Bai Yuning was a foodie, and her mouth was still stuffed with food when she came into the house with her brother.


    This was what a day in the life of the Bai siblings was like.


    Jiang Wei was holding an ice cream cone in his hand. He felt a little awkward, but he couldn¡¯t control the temptation of its delicious flavor. He nodded and took another bite as his mouth was already covered in ice cream.


    It was indeed delicious. Jiang Wei had never eaten junk food before. His father did not allow it and said that it was not healthy. This was the first time Jiang Wei had been allowed to have junk food.


    Seeing that the two children were eating happily, Su Zhi¡¯en went into the kitchen to cook. A few minutes later, the house phone suddenly rang. ¡°Yu¡¯an, could you answer the phone? Mommy is cooking. Go and see who¡¯s calling.¡±


    Jiang Wei glanced at the ringing phone not too far away. He finally stood up and went over to pick up the phone. ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°Is this Jiang Wei?¡±


    Jiang Wei didn¡¯t expect to hear his name immediately when he answered the phone.. Jiang Wei¡¯s beautiful eyes glinted as he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

 Chapter 35 - A Scam Call

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°This is Bai Yu¡¯an. Aren¡¯t you at my house? My mother and sister addressed you as Bai Yu¡¯an, right?¡± The tone of voice on the phone was playful. The child¡¯s voice was similar to Jiang Wei¡¯s, but it sounded much lighter, as though it was chirpier.


    ¡®Bai Yu¡¯an? So these people are confusing me for Bai Yu¡¯an?¡¯ Jiang Wei finally understood. His face turned dark. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why have I been mistaken for you and brought here? Also, where are you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m at your house, Jiang Wei. Just so you know, we look exactly the same, and that¡¯s why we were mistaken for each other. We¡¯re twins!¡±


    ¡°Huh? We¡¯re twins?!¡± Jiang Wei was shocked by Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s words as he stood by the television cabinet with a confused look on his face.


    Bai Yu¡¯an sounded helpless. ¡°Yes, I was going to look for your father today because he¡¯s constantly harassing my mother. But when I got there, I realized that they had mistaken me for you. Even your father didn¡¯t realize it. That¡¯s why I think we¡¯re twins, Jiang Wei.¡±


    ¡°Twins, huh?¡± Jiang Wei subconsciously repeated himself.


    ¡°Yes, think about it. After you were brought back to my house, my mother and Bai Yuning also thought you were me. This means that we look exactly the same, and twins look alike. Do you see where I¡¯m going with this?¡±


    Jiang Wei pondered for a long while and finally agreed with Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s explanation. However, when Jiang Wei looked at the people in the kitchen and thought of the junk food that he had eaten for the first time just now, his face immediately turned dark again. ¡°If we are twins, then why did she want you and not me? Father also told me that my mother died five years ago.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± It seems that it was Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s turn to be confused on the other end of the phone call. ¡®Is he talking about my mother? Is Jiang Wei blaming my mother for not wanting him and saying that my mother is supposed to be dead?¡¯


    Bai Yu¡¯an was unhappy when he thought of this. ¡°You believe that? That man must be lying. My mother said that my father drowned at sea. What did your father say about your mother?¡±


    Jiang Wei remained silent and stood still with a livid expression on his face. ¡°Why do adults lie to people?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Wei, adult matters are very complicated. It seems that we can¡¯t just believe whatever they say. We have to figure out what happened between them, why they decided to split up, and why they separate us as well.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an finally revealed why he was investigating Jiang Chen.


    Jiang Wei heard his plans and agreed. ¡°Then what should we do now?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an thought about it carefully and said, ¡°I think we should meet up first. Now that we¡¯ve swapped places, they may inevitably find out about our plan. So we should switch back for now.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an was right. The first thing they needed to do now was return to their respective positions. Otherwise, who knew what would happen if their parents were to find out? Su Zhi¡¯en already knew of Jiang Wei¡¯s existence from the current situation. However, that evil man was clueless about the existence of Bai Yu¡¯an and Bai Yuning.


    Jiang Wei agreed to this plan.


    ¡°Yu¡¯an, come and eat. Mommy has made your favorite braised prawn dish!¡± Just as the two brothers discussed their plans over the phone, Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s voice echoed from the kitchen.


    When Bai Yu¡¯an overheard this over the phone, his eyes glinted. ¡°Mommy is asking for you. Jiang Wei, if you haven¡¯t gotten along with Mommy yet, you have to pretend to enjoy yourself now. You should also know that Mommy is the best person in the entire world.¡±


    Jiang Wei felt a little annoyed as he harshly hung up the phone with a slam.


    ¡°Who was on the phone, Yu¡¯an?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en asked as she came out of the kitchen with some dishes in her hands.


    Jiang Wei had a gloomy smirk on his face as he said, ¡°It was a scam call!¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en heard this but didn¡¯t care to react. She then brought the rice and the dishes that she cooked over to the dining table. She filled a small bowl with rice and placed it in front of her son. ¡°This is for you, Yu¡¯an. I made your favorite braised prawn dish as well.¡±


    ¡°What about me? You¡¯re so biased, Mommy. What about my favorite chicken drumstick dish?¡±


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s still in the pot. I forgot all about it.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en quickly ran over and brought the dish over as she apologized to Bai Yuning with a smile on her face. ¡°Sorry, there¡¯s been a lot going on lately.¡±


    Fortunately, Bai Yuning wasn¡¯t angry after she ate.


    The rental apartment was not nearly as luxurious as Fu Mansion, but the atmosphere was much better. Everyone was happily sharing a meal around the small dining table. This was the kind of warmth and happiness that Fu Mansion lacked.


    Jiang Wei finally lowered his head and was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat, but when he looked at the bowl of rice in front of him, he fell silent.


    Meanwhile, in Fu Mansion, Bai Yu¡¯an was eating with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen had personally cooked the food. However, while the father and son were eating, a person suddenly arrived at the entrance of Fu Mansion.


    ¡°Master Jiang, Miss Tong came by with some autumn pear syrup for Young Master Jiang. The syrup that Young Master Jiang was drinking before this has already run out, so Miss Tong made some more and brought it over.¡±


    ¡®Who is this, Miss Tong? She even makes autumn pear syrup, especially for Jiang Wei?¡¯


    Bai Yu¡¯an raised his head curiously and looked at the evil man before him. He noticed that when Jiang Chen heard that this woman had come to the Mansion, the evil man¡¯s handsome face immediately turned dark.


    ¡°Who allowed her to come here? Tell her that Jiang Wei doesn¡¯t need the autumn pear syrup!¡±


    ¡°But, Master Jiang, Miss Tong is the only person that makes the best autumn pear syrup. Young Master Jiang always starts coughing during the winter. The syrup is necessary for Young Master Jiang. Whenever Young Master Jiang drinks it, he feels much better.. Have you forgotten, Master Jiang?¡±

 Chapter 36 - The Ladys Attitude

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Aunt Lin was still trying to help Tong Jingxian to step foot into Fu Mansion. When Jiang Chen was reminded of his son¡¯s cough, he still had an unsightly expression on his face, but his attitude was not as uncompromising as before.


    No matter how bad Jiang Chen¡¯s temper was or how merciless he became toward others, he would always make his son¡¯s health a priority. Tong Jingxian knew this very well, which was why Aunt Lin deliberately kept reminding Jiang Chen about his son¡¯s cough.


    In the end, Tong Jingxian walked into the dining room with a bottle of autumn pear syrup in her hand.


    ¡°Jiang Chen, may I come in?¡± Tong Jingxian¡¯s face was pale and sickly, and she was wearing a white sweater and a light pink plaid skirt.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Miss Tong? You don¡¯t look well.¡± When Aunt Lin noticed this, she quickly ran over to help Tong Jingxian with her things and asked with concern.


    Tong Jingxian shook her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. I just have a cold.¡± She then looked at the man in front of her with a gentle gaze and a hint of expectancy. However, Jiang Chen paid no attention to her at all.


    When Jiang Chen saw that Bai Yu¡¯an was absent-minded while eating, his slender fingers tapped on the table. ¡°Jiang Wei, you have to focus while you¡¯re eating!¡±


    ¡°Oh.¡± When Bai Yu¡¯an heard this, he raised his eyebrows and continued to eat.


    ¡®Who is this? Tsk, tsk, tsk. She looks like a person with high status, but why is she dressed in such skanky clothing? It also seems as though she deliberately made her face look pale. This woman¡¯s makeup skills are not bad. If her eyes weren¡¯t such a dead giveaway, I would¡¯ve believed her. Is this woman here to gain sympathy?¡¯


    Bai Yu¡¯an continued to eat as he secretly watched the interaction between Tong Jingxian and Jiang Chen. As expected, after seeing Jiang Chen ignore her, Tong Jingxian¡¯s expression stiffened as it revealed a great sense of disappointment.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, please remember to drink this autumn pear syrup. Oh right, Aunt Jingxian also knitted you a pair of gloves. The weather is getting cold. You always wanted me to knit you a pair of gloves so you could go out and play, right?¡±


    Tong Jingxian surprised the child and took out a pair of knitted woolen gloves from her bag. She really wanted to knit those gloves by herself even though she came from a wealthy family and could easily purchase one.


    Aunt Lin ran over to Tong Jingxian again and said, ¡°Wow, Miss Tong, you¡¯re so talented! You even know how to knit gloves all by yourself. These are much better than the ones that are sold in stores. Master Jiang, take a look at the stitching and the patterns. No amount of money could buy something as special as this.¡±


    As Aunt Lin said this, she took the pair of gloves and immediately went to Jiang Chen¡¯s side. Jiang Chen took a look at the hand-knitted gloves. From the quality to the design, it was apparent that Tong Jingxian had put a lot of effort into these gloves. The material on the outside and the inside of the gloves were soft and velvety. It was especially suitable for children like Jiang Wei, who was poor in health.


    Jiang Chen¡¯s expression finally began to ease up. He retracted his gaze and tacitly agreed to this matter. When Tong Jingxian saw this, she was immediately overjoyed. She took the pair of gloves over and stood beside Bai Yu¡¯an. ¡°I hope that you will allow me to help you put them on so that we can see if it fits.¡±


    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s see if they fit.¡± Bai Yu¡¯an smiled and stretched out his hands to help put the gloves on.


    ¡®Judging from this woman¡¯s appearance, she would often come to this house.¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an had to accept the gloves so that he wouldn¡¯t cause a scene.


    However, just as Tong Jingxian was putting on the gloves for Bai Yu¡¯an, another person rushed in from outside of Fu Mansion. Without an announcement, the person barged in and said, ¡°Jiang Chen, I heard that Jiang Wei is back. How is he? Is he alright?¡± It was Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s mother.


    Bai Yu¡¯an pulled his hand back almost instantly.


    Jiang Chen and Tong Jingxian were stunned. Their expressions changed so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, especially Tong Jingxian, whose face became unsightly.


    ¡®Su Zhi¡¯en, you b*tch, you came at the right time.¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en rushed to Fu Mansion in a hurry when she heard Ming Ze say that Bai Yu¡¯an, who was currently mistaken as Jiang Wei, almost got lost this afternoon. Su Zhi¡¯en was worried, so she rushed over to check on him.


    ¡°Why is this woman here? Did you let her touch your son again, Jiang Chen?¡± When Su Zhi¡¯en saw Tong Jingxian in the same room as her son, her gaze became cold.


    When they were on the boat, Su Zhi¡¯en did everything in her power, including slitting her wrist to get Jiang Chen to agree not to let this b*tch near her son again.


    ¡®What is going on? Why is Tong Jingxian here? The three of them are happily eating together with such intimacy. Has Tong Jingxian reconciled with Jiang Chen?¡¯


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s face turned red with anger. Especially when she saw the gloves on her son¡¯s hands and that Tong Jingxian was so close to her son.


    ¡°Have you gone insane, Su Zhi¡¯en? Who told you that you could just barge in here? What do you take this place for? You think this is a place where you can come and go as you wish?¡± Jiang Chen spoke.


    Every word carried a murderous tone as he gritted his teeth. It was as if he wanted to immediately drag Su Zhi¡¯en over and chop her up into tiny pieces.


    ¡®How dare he speak to Mommy like that?!¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an was utterly displeased when he witnessed this. He almost opened his mouth to defend his mother. How could he let his mother be treated like this?


    However, Tong Jingxian suddenly intervened, ¡°Don¡¯t act like that, Jiang Chen. Miss Su is your doctor now. Surely, there¡¯s a reason for her visit.¡± She then walked toward Su Zhi¡¯en with a smile on her face..

 Chapter 37 - Awesome Son

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Miss Su? Take a seat and have some dinner. You probably haven¡¯t eaten yet. I¡¯ll ask a servant to get a bowl and chopsticks for you. We can talk while we eat.¡±


    Tong Jingxian stood in front of Su Zhi¡¯en with a dignified and gentle manner of a noblewoman. Tong Jingxian¡¯s simple instructions to the servant fully displayed the imposing manner of a lady from a wealthy family.


    Su Zhi¡¯en clenched her fists as the expression on her face turned cold. ¡°It¡¯s not necessary. I only came here to check on Jiang Wei because I received a call from Ming Ze saying that Jiang Wei almost got lost when we were at the Jiang Corporation.¡±


    ¡°Oh, so that¡¯s why you¡¯re here. That¡¯s fine then. Jiang Wei is perfectly fine. He just doesn¡¯t like to talk to people, and he prefers to keep things to himself. I¡¯m guessing that he just went looking for his father at that time, but couldn¡¯t find him, so he went downstairs. He¡¯s fine now, Miss Su. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Tong Jingxian was very understanding as she consoled Su Zhi¡¯en.


    After hearing this, Su Zhi¡¯en couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer as her face turned pale. She could hide her feelings toward an arrogant person in front of anyone, but not in front of her son. She couldn¡¯t ignore the fact that someone else had stolen her role as this child¡¯s mother.


    ¡°Since he¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll take my leave. Sorry to bother you.¡± After saying this, Su Zhi¡¯en turned around and prepared to leave. She was considerate and polite because she didn¡¯t want to look like a lunatic before her son.


    ¡°You¡¯re too kind, Miss Su. Since you¡¯re already here, why not sit down and have some dinner with us? If you¡¯ve already eaten, you can eat some more. Don¡¯t let Jiang Chen scare you. He always has such a bad temper.¡±


    Unexpectedly, Tong Jingxian refused to let Su Zhi¡¯en leave. She pulled Su Zhi¡¯en back regardless of whether or not she agreed. She proceeded to bring Su Zhi¡¯en over to the dining table enthusiastically.


    Su Zhi¡¯en glared at Tong Jingxian coldly. ¡®What is this b*tch up to?¡¯


    Tong Jingxian didn¡¯t look at Jiang Chen as she did this because deep down in her heart, she didn¡¯t want to see Jiang Chen leave just because he saw Su Zhi¡¯en.


    ¡°Aunt Zhi¡¯en, did you purposely come to visit me?¡±


    ¡°Y-yes, I did.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en looked at the child next to her in shock. She didn¡¯t realize that he had suddenly come over to her side, that she even stuttered a little. ¡®Why is this child so enthusiastic all of a sudden?¡¯ For a moment, Su Zhi¡¯en didn¡¯t know how to react.


    ¡®My mother is so simple-minded sometimes that she allows these people to harass her to this extent. Why are you still in a daze? Fight back!¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an proceeded to sit down next to his mother. He then waved at the servant across from him and said, ¡°Bring me my bowl.¡±


    ¡°Huh? You want to sit next to me?¡±


    Not only were Tong Jingxian and the others caught off guard by the child¡¯s words, even Jiang Chen, who was sitting across from him, had a surprised expression on his face.


    ¡°Why are you sitting there? Come back here and finish your meal quickly.¡± The surprise on Jiang Chen¡¯s face didn¡¯t last long as it was immediately followed by anger. His handsome face turned livid as he told Bai Yu¡¯an to quickly return to his original seat.


    But why would Bai Yu¡¯an return to his original seat? Su Zhi¡¯en was his mother, and most of the people in the room were harassing her. If he didn¡¯t protect Su Zhi¡¯en as her son, then who would?


    Bai Yu¡¯an imitated Jiang Wei and coldly glanced at the person across from him. ¡°I don¡¯t want to sit there! Aunt Zhi¡¯en is here to visit me, so I¡¯ll sit with her.¡± He then turned and faced his mother. ¡°Aunt Zhi¡¯en, I want to have a taste of the dish over there. Will you help me with it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll get it for you!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en was about to cry from excitement. She quickly picked up her chopsticks, picked up a large portion of food from the plate that her son was pointing at, and put it into his bowl.


    ¡°Thank you, Aunt Zhi¡¯en!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome, Jiang Wei. Hurry up and eat.¡± Everyone in the dining room was petrified. This was because they had never seen Young Master Jiang act so coquettishly toward anyone, let alone ask someone to help him with his food. After all, he was just like his father, a serious germaphobe. Jiang Wei would never eat something that was touched by others.


    ¡®This is utterly insane!¡¯ Tong Jingxian could no longer keep up her pretenses. She clenched her fists and glared at the mother and son with hatred in her eyes¡ªTong Jingxian had a vicious expression on her face.


    Jiang Chen was also angry. He would never have thought that this d*mn woman would affect his son to this extent in just one day. ¡®What is she trying to do? Is she trying to steal my son from me? She¡¯s dreaming if she thinks she can do that!¡¯


    ¡°Aunt Zhi¡¯en, look at my gloves. Don¡¯t they look great?¡±


    ¡°They really do look great!¡± Su Zhi¡¯en, who was pealing the shrimp shells with her head lowered, subconsciously glanced at her son¡¯s hands when she heard his words. When Su Zhi¡¯en recalled what she saw when she entered the dining room, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.


    ¡°I know, right? Aunt Jingxian knitted these for me. She said that she knitted these herself.¡± After Bai Yu¡¯an heard his mother¡¯s praise, he deliberately stretched out his hands so that Su Zhi¡¯en could take a closer look at the gloves.


    ¡°She knitted those gloves herself? It surely doesn¡¯t seem like it. If it was hand-knitted, the spaces between the stitches couldn¡¯t possibly be so uniform. A seasoned tailor wouldn¡¯t sew the beads onto the gloves after the fact. They would have used the stitching on the gloves to hide the seams and make them look tidier and more natural. How could this be hand-knitted?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en finished explaining her thoughts and sneered, ¡°This doesn¡¯t seem to be hand-knitted. Hand-knitted thread knots aren¡¯t usually tied like this.¡±


    ¡°What? Really?¡± With Bai Yu¡¯an¡¯s doubtful exclamation, the dining room immediately fell silent.


    As for Tong Jingxian, her expression instantly changed.


    ¡°What do you mean? Why are you saying that the gloves aren¡¯t hand-knitted? Do you have experience with making these things, Su Zhi¡¯en?¡± Jiang Chen was the first person to question her. He didn¡¯t know why, but he just didn¡¯t want to believe that Su Zhi¡¯en was telling the truth..

 Chapter 38 - Why Did You Beg Her

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Su Zhi¡¯en heard this, she glanced at Jiang Chen with a smug expression on her face. ¡°Of course, I have experience with these things. I knit a lot of these every year. I hand-knitted the sweater that I¡¯m currently wearing myself,¡± Su Zhi¡¯en said as she tugged at the sweater that she was wearing.


    In an instant, the atmosphere in the dining room became even more silent. Su Zhi¡¯en looked at everyone at the dining table, whose expressions immediately changed. She especially looked at Tong Jingxian, whose face turned ashen.


    Su Zhi¡¯en was finally in a better mood. She then picked up her chopsticks and continued to peel the prawns. What a coincidence, she had just peeled some prawns for her children at home, and now she¡¯s peeling prawns for her other child as well.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want them anymore. You didn¡¯t knit these gloves yourself. You can take them back, you liar!¡± Bai Yu¡¯an was being supportive of his mother. After his mother finished speaking, Bai Yu¡¯an took the gloves and threw them at Tong Jingxian, sitting across from him.


    Tong Jingxian¡¯s face instantly turned even more ashen. ¡°No, Jiang Wei, please listen to me. I-I bought the thread myself, and I also asked someone to make the beads specifically for these gloves. I-I chose all the accessories, but I just didn¡¯t know how to knit!¡±


    ¡°So, you didn¡¯t knit it yourself, yet you told me that you did? You¡¯re just a liar! How am I supposed to trust you anymore?!¡± Bai Yu¡¯an yelled, and this time he was even angrier than before. He threw his chopsticks onto the dining table, turned around, and was about to get up from his chair.


    Su Zhi¡¯en saw him and quickly stopped the child. ¡°Don¡¯t get mad, Jiang Wei. I¡¯ll knit something for you, okay? I¡¯ll knit whatever you want. Now, why don¡¯t we return to having a good meal?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an raised his head and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. Bai Yu¡¯an had a look of disappointment on his face.


    Su Zhi¡¯en¡¯s heart was already in a mess of pain when she saw this. She proceeded to hug her son tightly and whispered in his ear, ¡°Of course. Why would I ever lie to you? Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll knit you something the day after tomorrow.¡±


    As Jiang Chen was about to explode from anger, Tong Jingxian suddenly pounced on him. With a thud, she knelt on the ground and hugged his legs.


    ¡°Please believe me. I didn¡¯t mean to lie. I honestly wanted to make the gloves myself, but I had never learned how to knit before. I tried my best to knit them myself, but I couldn¡¯t. Look at my hands. They¡¯re full of cuts and scars. I love you so much, and I wish to be Jiang Wei¡¯s mother. I didn¡¯t mean to lie about this. I felt as though I didn¡¯t have a choice!¡±


    Tong Jingxian stretched out her hands that were covered with cuts and scars in front of Jiang Chen, and her eyes were filled with tears¡ªTong Jingxian looked pitiful.


    When Su Zhi¡¯en saw what Tong Jingxian was doing, she immediately knew that Tong Jingxian was up to no good and that this was her backup plan. Once Tong Jingxian was exposed, she would revert to her tricks.


    Jiang Chen stared at Tong Jingxian¡¯s hands for a while. Then, the anger in his eyes disappeared. Su Zhi¡¯en was very disappointed in Jiang Chen when she saw this. As long as Jiang Chen loved Tong Jingxian, he would not see her manipulative behavior.


    ¡°You are just troubling yourself.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I know it¡¯s a lot of trouble, but I still want to be Jiang Wei¡¯s mother. I¡¯m willing to do anything for him. Since Miss Su knows how to knit, she can teach me, can¡¯t she? I¡¯ll work hard, I promise. After learning from Miss Su, I can knit for Jiang Wei. I can knit him whatever he wants to wear.¡±


    Tong Jingxian was just copying what Su Zhi¡¯en just said.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to teach you how to knit! I already know how to knit things for Jiang Wei, so why would you need to learn how to knit?¡± Su Zhi¡¯en felt provoked. After a wave of overwhelming anger surged in her chest, she didn¡¯t even think before she blurted out an incredibly intense rejection.


    Su Zhi¡¯en could have held it in, but as long as someone had treated her children poorly, she would quickly lose her cool. As soon as she finished speaking, the faces of everyone present in the dining room turned ugly. Especially Jiang Chen.


    ¡°You really are a horrible person. Miss Tong only asked if you would be willing to teach her to knit. Why did you rudely reject her? Young Master Jiang doesn¡¯t belong to you, so why do you worry so much about him? Did you forget your place?¡±


    Aunt Lin was the first to speak. She looked polite on the surface, but she said every word sneeringly. Her words were like knives stabbing into Su Zhi¡¯en.


    ¡°Aunt Lin, you have no right to speak. Miss Su was offering to knit gloves for Jiang Wei simply because she wanted to. Who allowed you to talk to her like that? You should know your place.¡± After Aunt Lin finished speaking, Tong Jingxian immediately refuted her.


    Tong Jingxian remained on the ground as she hugged Jiang Chen¡¯s leg. The tears on her pretty little face had not even dried yet when she began to scold Aunt Lin harshly. It was as though Tong Jingxian was trying to defend Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Su Zhi¡¯en sneered and stared at Tong Jingxian¡¯s pretentious behavior as she felt extremely disgusted. Su Zhi¡¯en should be convinced at this level of acting at the very least, but Tong Jingxian could never be able to fool her.


    However, the arrogant Jiang Chen was delighted. When he saw Tong Jingxian begging at his feet and that she was seemingly understanding and open-minded, his anger dissipated.


    ¡°Why are you begging Su Zhi¡¯en to teach you how to knit? If all you want is to be good to my son, then there are many other things that you can do for him..¡±

 Chapter 39 - Which One of Them Was Blind?

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Tong Jingxian raised her head in ecstasy. ¡°Do you honestly mean what you said? Does that mean you forgive me? I¡¯m so happy, Jiang Chen.¡± Tong Jingxian cried in excitement.


    However, at this time, she was genuinely crying because she knew that she had succeeded in gaining Jiang Chen¡¯s trust. Tong Jingxian suddenly felt as though she should thank Su Zhi¡¯en.


    Su Zhi¡¯en trembled uncontrollably because of her anger, disappointment, and overwhelming sadness. She had never thought that Jiang Chen would be so gullible. It was as though he didn¡¯t even care.


    Tong Jingxian was the woman Jiang Chen loved the most, so no matter what she did or how many mistakes she made, Jiang Chen would always forgive her and pretend that those mistakes never happened. It was just like when Su Zhi¡¯en was pregnant, Jiang Chen would just ignore her and step on her bones just to please the love of his life, Tong Jingxian.


    Su Zhi¡¯en could only hug her son tightly and shut her teary eyes.


    ¡°Aunt Zhi¡¯en?¡± Bai Yu¡¯an felt his mother¡¯s tears on his shoulders. He immediately spread his arms and tightly hugged his mother. ¡®So this is how they treat my mother. It seems that Mommy made the right decision when she chose to leave.¡¯ Bai Yu¡¯an was so glad that he had stayed by his mother¡¯s side all these years.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be sad, Aunt Zhi¡¯en.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sad. I¡¯m just disappointed. Don¡¯t worry. I will never let you get hurt. Even if I have to risk my life to protect you.¡± Su Zhi¡¯en looked into her son¡¯s eyes as she comforted him.


    Bai Yu¡¯an just remained silent, but Jiang Chen already began to feel that something was off. He finally looked over and said, ¡°What do you want to do, Su Zhi¡¯en?¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en was finally able to calm down as she replied, ¡°What do I want to do? Since you don¡¯t care about your son¡¯s safety, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless. From now on, my only goal in life is to make you lose custody of Jiang Wei!¡±


    ¡°Oh? Who¡¯s going to help you do that?¡± Jiang Chen felt as though he had just heard a joke.


    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s just going to be me. Since I could come back from the dead, making you lose custody of Jiang Wei should be a breeze. Don¡¯t forget, when a rabbit is cornered, it will bite. Just wait and see, Jiang Chen.¡±


    As Jiang Chen looked over, he saw a twisted killing intent present in Su Zhi¡¯en blood-red eyes. There was no doubt in his mind that if he were to give her a knife at this moment, Su Zhi¡¯en would immediately use it to slaughter everyone who stood in her way.


    Jiang Chen trembled as she said, ¡°Are you insane?!¡±


    ¡°I have nothing more to say to you! Let me tell you, Jiang Wei, the next time I come over and see the slightest bruise on my son¡¯s body, I will immediately make sure to put that b*tch in a coffin!¡±


    After Su Zhi¡¯en finished threatening Jiang Chen, she pulled Aunt Lin, who was standing beside her, raised her hand, and stabbed her in the neck. Aunt Lin didn¡¯t have much of a chance to react.


    Everyone present in the dining room only heard a scream. Aunt Lin held her neck and fell onto the ground, leaving the people present in the dining room shocked as though they had been struck by lightning. Everyone was petrified as Aunt Lin finally stopped twitching on the ground.


    Then they saw a shiny silver needle in her neck when they looked down. Everyone felt a chill run down their spine. Tong Jingxian was so scared that she could barely speak.


    ¡°What have you done, Su Zhi¡¯en?! You¡¯re insane. How dare you kill someone here? Are you out of your mind?¡± Jiang Chen finally came to his senses. He stared at Aunt Lin, who had fallen onto the ground, and yelled.


    Jiang Chen was about to explode. ¡®Does she realize what she has done? Aunt Lin is a human being, not an animal, and Su Zhi¡¯en just killed her in cold blood. This woman has lost it. When did she become so cold-blooded and violent?¡¯


    Jiang Chen was so filled with rage that his thoughts began to scramble. ¡®Which one of us is blind to the law now?¡¯


    But Su Zhi¡¯en did not have the slightest intention of panicking. When Jiang Chen yelled at her, she only stared at Jiang Chen with a menacing smile on her face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Jiang Chen? Are you afraid? If you¡¯re afraid, then remember this moment. You¡¯d better not push me to a corner, Jiang Chen. You should all be careful.¡±


    Su Zhi¡¯en resembled a demon out of hell. After uttering those words, she proceeded to leave Fu Mansion. Jiang Chen trembled all over.


    Tong Jingxian was at a loss. ¡®That lunatic! She left just like that, and no one thought of stopping her?¡¯ It was not until Su Zhi¡¯en exited the door and was about to escape that Tong Jingxian came back to her senses.


    ¡°Stop her! She just killed someone. How can you let her get away so easily?! Chase after her quickly, you idi*ts!¡±


    Tong Jingxian yelled harshly, no longer pretending to be kind and virtuous. Her heart was filled with the desire to catch Su Zhi¡¯en and tear her limb from limb. She also felt excited because now she had an excuse to get rid of Su Zhi¡¯en once and for all..

 Chapter 40 - His Father Had Gone Too Far

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Unfortunately, Tong Jingxian¡¯s desires would be left unfulfilled. This was because she heard a grunt from Aunt Lin, who was lying on the ground gasping for air.


    ¡°Cough, cough, cough. Miss Tong, I-I finally caught my breath.


    After that, the dining room fell silent yet again.


    Meanwhile, in an old rental apartment, Jiang Wei looked at the phone that was ringing in front of him about an hour after his mother had left. He pondered for a moment before answering the call. ¡°Hello?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Wei, is Mommy back yet?¡± This was the first thing Bai Yu¡¯an said after Jiang Wei answered the call.


    Jiang Wei took a quick look around the house, frowned, and replied, ¡°No, she hasn¡¯t come back yet? What happened?¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an had a concerned look on his face when he heard that his mother had yet to return home.


    ¡®It¡¯s been a while since Mommy left Fu Mansion, and she has yet to return home. It seems that my silly mother must have secretly gone to that place to cry again.¡¯ In the past, when Su Zhi¡¯en was abroad, she would secretly go somewhere to calm down whenever she had a bad day before returning home because she was afraid that her two children would worry about her.


    Bai Yu¡¯an now wished that he could fly so that he could fly home and look for his mother.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, we need to switch back right now!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Wei was shocked when he heard this. ¡°Now? Didn¡¯t you say that we were going to switch back tomorrow?¡± After having so much fun in the afternoon, Jiang Wei felt that he wanted to spend more time with his mother. He didn¡¯t want to return to the cold and gloomy Fu Mansion.


    But Bai Yu¡¯an became impatient on the other end of the call. ¡°I can¡¯t stay in this d*mn house any longer, Jiang Wei!¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡± Jiang Wei asked with a frown.


    ¡°It¡¯s all your father¡¯s fault. Let me ask you something, Jiang Wei. Who is that woman by the name of Tong Jingxian? How can your father not see how manipulative she is? He also said that my mother is a lunatic. Does your father have brain damage or something?¡±


    After a while, Jiang Wei, who had a look of disdain on his face, said coldly, ¡°Tong Jingxian is my father¡¯s girlfriend. Well, she¡¯s our father¡¯s girlfriend, and she said that she wants to be my mother.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an didn¡¯t want to dwell on Jiang Wei¡¯s words. Instead, he replied with a troubled tone in his voice, ¡°So she¡¯s most likely going to become your stepmother in the future?¡±


    Jiang Wei shook his head and replied, ¡°Perhaps she will be my stepmother in the future. However, I don¡¯t like her, and I don¡¯t want her to be my stepmother.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an heard the sincerity in Jiang Wei¡¯s voice as he expressed his thoughts about Tong Jingxian and finally felt a little more at ease.


    ¡°Jiang Wei, as your twin brother, I am glad that you think that way. After I found out about the identities of you and your father, I wanted to reunite our parents, but thinking about it now, it might be a huge mistake.


    ¡°Your father really disappointed me. I have never seen such a horrible man. He is not good enough to be with my mother! Although we have the same mother, we do not have the same father.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an almost yelled out the last few words. It was clear that the events during dinner had caused him a lot of trauma.


    Jiang Wei was speechless in the end. He knew about Tong Jingxian¡¯s manipulative behavior. She would always put on an act in front of his father, acting as though she was kind and virtuous whenever he was around. But she would be cruel and unkind behind his father¡¯s back.


    Jiang Wei never bothered to talk about it, so he never told his father.


    Jiang Wei finally agreed to the exchange plan. He hung up the phone and proceeded to do as Bai Yu¡¯an said. Jiang Wei coaxed Bai Yuning with some junk food and then left the rental apartment.


    Half an hour later, at Fu Mansion, Jiang Wei arrived and snuck into his room. The twins, who were separated at birth, finally met each other.


    ¡°We really do look like the same person.¡±


    Bai Yu¡¯an let out a massive sigh of relief after seeing his long-lost twin brother for the first time. Jiang Wei did the same, but before he could say anything, the passionate Bai Yu¡¯an had already opened his arms and gave Jiang Wei a big warm hug.


    In an instant, Jiang Wei felt a warm feeling deep within his heart. Before he could process this feeling, he heard Bai Yu¡¯an say that he was leaving. When Jiang Wei heard that, he immediately felt depressed. ¡°Then when will we meet again? Also, will Mommy still come and visit me?¡±


    When Jiang Wei heard Bai Yu¡¯an talk about what had happened during dinner, he was worried that his mother would never come to Fu Mansion again.


    However, Bai Yu¡¯an patted Jiang Wei¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Mommy loves you very much. She will definitely come and visit you again. You just need to remember to defend Mommy whenever she comes to visit. Don¡¯t let your father harass her again, okay?¡±


    Jiang Wei immediately nodded and said, ¡°I won¡¯t let my father harass our mother again.¡±


    Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, who was downstairs, decided to go to his son¡¯s room after calming down. Not long ago, after Su Zhi¡¯en left, his son had thrown a tantrum and ran to his bedroom. It was the first time that Jiang Wei had pointed at his father, told him that he hated him and never wanted to see his father again.


    Jiang Chen had a frown on his face as he walked up the stairs. After going up to his son¡¯s bedroom, Jiang Chen pondered for a while before knocking on the bedroom door. ¡°Jiang Wei, open the door. Daddy wants to come in and talk to you.¡±


    When Jiang Wei heard that his father was at the door, he immediately grabbed a pillow and ran to his bed to pretend to be asleep. Jiang Wei had no intentions of speaking to his father at all. He thought that his father had crossed the line this time. ¡®How could Daddy harass my mother for a woman like Tong Jingxian?


    ¡°Jiang Wei?¡±


    ¡°What? I¡¯m trying to sleep!¡±
