Chapter 9: He Came Looking for His Mother

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?”
