Chapter 260 Cruel Punishment
Chapter 260 Cruel Punishment
After Siyi got into the car, she realized that her hands were trembling and her palms were sweaty when she fastened her seatbelt.
She tried hard to regulate her breathing, but Bei Bei could still see through her strained expression.
"Mom, are you unhappy?"
The little guy had already climbed up, hugging the driver's seat with both hands, and leaned over to look at Siyi's profile. "Did that uncle bully you? Mom, tell me, and Beibei will protect you!"
Even if she was in a bad mood, her son's words warmed her heart.
Siyi smiled faintly, trying not to look at the figure not far away. She started the engine, turned the car around, and stepped on the gas. "No, that uncle is a friend of my mother's, but we haven't been in touch for many years. We only met recently, so there are some things I want to clarify."
"But your uncle just said that he and you have a very close relationship!"
This problem has been bothering him for a long time.
Beibei knew she didn't have a father from a very young age.
But he had a very kind Uncle Zheng, but an uncle is still an uncle.
It seems unlikely that he will become her father.
Now, suddenly, an uncle who is even better looking than Uncle Zheng appears, and claims to have a very close relationship with my mother.
In his little head, he was thinking that if that strange uncle really pursued his mother, he wouldn't object; that person seemed very impressive.
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the steering wheel slightly. She had no idea what Jiang Yan had said to the two children, but just hearing what Beibei said made her feel a little flustered.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her speaking speed, so that her voice barely trembled, "This is what my uncle... told you?"
While asking, I cursed Jiang Yan in my heart several times. I had told her not to say certain things yet. Sure enough, I couldn't trust that man. I must never let him have any contact with the two children alone again!
Who knows what kind of things he might say when he can't control his big mouth?
"Yes."
Beibei told Siyi everything she had just said to Jiang Yan, and then tilted her head to ask Siyi, "Mom, does that uncle like you? He said he did something wrong to you in the past, so you've been angry with him all this time. Even now that you've met him, you still won't forgive him, right?"
Children often speak without thinking.
But they are also the most innocent, without any guile whatsoever.
Beibei's words were clearly blurted out, but to her own ears, they sounded like a terrifying bomb, causing her to mistake the brake for the accelerator.
When I stepped on the accelerator, the car screeched to a halt in the middle of the road.
The two little ones lurched forward, but thankfully they were both wearing seatbelts, which prevented a major disaster.
Siyi, still shaken, turned her face away. "Are you alright?"
"It's okay, Mom. Are you too nervous? Why did you suddenly slam on the brakes?"
Beibei shook her head, looking at her mother's deathly pale face. Tiantian, on the other hand, sat quietly in the back the whole time. The little girl couldn't speak, so she usually kept her thoughts to herself.
Siyi stretched out her slender fingers and gently pressed her temples. A car was about to pull up behind them, so she quickly calmed herself and pressed the accelerator again. "Beibei, remember what Mommy said. That uncle did know Mommy before, but we haven't seen each other for many years. You might see him often in the future. Don't have any prejudice against him. He's not a bad person. Don't ask any more questions, okay?"
"Oh." Seemingly unable to glean any secret, Bei Bei nodded somewhat dejectedly.
Siyi freed one hand and nudged him, "Go, sit down with your sister."
Seeing the two little ones sitting neatly in the back, Siyi felt no sense of relief.
Now it seems he knows everything he should and shouldn't know. He'll definitely come looking for the two children every now and then, just look at his attitude.
She knew he couldn't just abandon these two children.
Moreover, I heard he got married three years ago, but there has never been any news about him having children.
So Siyi was still very flustered.
If one day he wants to fight for custody of her, what should she do?
Moreover, if he keeps coming to look for the child during this time, how should she deal with him?
What a headache!
Siyi propped herself up with her hands, driving while occasionally rubbing her temples.
My mind is a mess, I can't make sense of anything at all.
-
Jiang Yan walked towards his hotel room while tugging at his shirt collar, but he stopped as soon as he reached the door. He raised his eyes slightly, looked at the three people standing at his door, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Upon seeing Jiang Yan finally return, Manager Cai hurriedly rushed forward, bowing and scraping, "President Jiang, you're finally back! We...we've been waiting for you for so long! President Jiang, could you spare some time for us? Let my wife and children properly apologize to you."
Jiang Yan looked down at the man in front of her, her gaze slowly falling on the trembling child leaning against his mother. She felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him.
That just so happens, he's in a very bad mood.
This family walked right into the line of fire; how could he possibly push them away?
He raised one eyebrow expressionlessly, walked past Manager Cai, and headed straight for the room.
Manager Cai had no idea what his attitude was, but the thought that his resort, which he had run for many years, might become a pipe dream made him grit his teeth and drag his wife and daughter inside.
The woman's scent still seemed to linger in the entryway. Jiang Yan stood there, closed her eyes, took two deep breaths, and finally walked to the sofa in the living room.
The broken glass on the ground has been swept up, and the red wine stains have been cleaned.
Jiang Yan sat back in the seat Si Yi had just occupied, her arms outstretched, her delicate chin raised as she looked at the family of three before her. She frowned slightly, her tone indifferent and cold, "Weren't you going to apologize? Are you just here to apologize standing up?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Cai thought there was hope, so he quickly pulled his wife over, pushed her forward, and whispered in her ear, "Hurry up and apologize to President Jiang! Look at what you've done, go now!"
Although the woman was unwilling, she had no choice but to step forward, given Jiang Yan Hui's status and her husband's life's work. She could only pull her daughter along, saying, "Ms. Jiang, I really...I really didn't know that little mute...no, that Ye Mengtian is your child. If I had known, I absolutely wouldn't..."
"What? You won't speak up if it's my child, Jiang Yan Hui's child? But if it's not, you can insult me like that, right?" He sneered, interrupting the woman, his sinister gaze falling on the little girl beside him. "You know Ye Mengtian?"
Manager Cai was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He rushed forward, almost kneeling down, "President Jiang, it's all my daughter's fault. She's just a child and doesn't know any better. President Jiang, can you please forgive us? We're willing to apologize to Miss Ye in person, we'll even kneel down..."
"husband……"
The woman's expression changed. She could accept apologizing, but why did she have to kneel down?
In fact, it was just a matter between children at first.
Ye Mengtian happened to be in the same extracurricular class as her daughter. Despite being mute, she was better at drawing than her daughter, and later she even participated in a city-wide painting competition.
I was furious with my daughter, and when I saw her today, I wanted to vent my anger, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
Unfortunately, in Jiang Yan's opinion, what's wrong with kneeling?
He doesn't care at all. Some damage has already been done. Can an apology erase everything?
He didn't know whether he was angry at himself, at the woman who spoke such harsh words, or at the little girl; no matter how he looked at her, she just seemed an eyesore.
The tall man suddenly stood up from the sofa, walked around the coffee table in a few steps, and grabbed the child's slender neck. His eyes were particularly frightening. "You know Ye Mengtian?"
Since they can call out Tian Tian's full name, they must know each other.
The little girl was so frightened by Jiang Yan Hui's powerful aura that she burst into tears. The mother, heartbroken, was completely distraught and lost all her temper. She rushed over, hugging Jiang Yan Hui's leg and begging for mercy, "President Jiang, President Jiang, it has nothing to do with the child, it's my fault, it's all my fault as a mother. I shouldn't have said that to your child. Please, take your anger out on me, please, spare my daughter, please..."
"President Jiang, please have mercy and spare our child..."
Manager Cai was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Jiang Yan Hui with a thud.
Although Jiang Yan was furious, he still had a child in his arms, and no matter what, he couldn't really take his anger out on a child.
He released the child's neck and said, word by word, "Ye Mengtian is my precious child. Who do you think you are? How dare you mock her for not being able to speak? You want to protect your family business, don't you? Fine, starting today, for the next five years, if your daughter dares to utter a single word, then I will make sure that the entire Cai family disappears from this world forever. Do you hear me?"
The woman turned pale, utterly shocked.
Isn't this making her child a living mute?
But can she say no?
Manager Cai was already kowtowing, "Yes...yes...President Jiang, we will definitely do it, we will definitely do it! From today until the next five years, my child will not speak again until he is eleven years old! Otherwise, President Jiang can do whatever he wants with him."
