Qin Jun looked despondent, enduring her slap willingly, and apologized, "I’m sorry, Aunt. I didn’t dare tell you, afraid that you couldn’t handle it once you found out."
Tears welled in Jiang Chenyue’s eyes, her emotions intense, "Do you think I’m handling it well now!"
"I’m sorry, Aunt."
Jiang Chenyue’s tears moistened the corners of her eyes, she spoke bitterly, "I’ve already wronged your sister, and you want me to wrong her again? What kind of a mother am I in her life, causing her to be taken away by bad people, ending up in a loveless family being bullied for twenty years, finally appearing only to mistake someone else for her, failing to recognize her myself, helping a fraud to bully her, ruining her career. Tell me, did I do nothing when she was in danger? Am I still a mother?"
Qin Jun realized his perspective was too narrow, he lowered his head to apologize, "Aunt, I’m sorry, I only thought of myself, and handled this matter according to my own thoughts without considering your feelings. I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. Please don’t be angry, you just started to recover, don’t let me harm your health again. If you want to hit me, I’ll do it myself."
He pretended to slap himself.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Chenyue saw this and grabbed his wrist to stop him.
Qin Jun seized the moment to show a pitiable expression, looking at her like a child who did something wrong, "I want you to vent your anger, Aunt, don’t be angry at me, I know I was wrong."
Jiang Chenyue’s anger and dissatisfaction subsided significantly, she released his hand and said with annoyance, "I know you did it on purpose to show me."
Qin Jun immediately leaned closer to cajole, "Aunt can’t bear to be mad at me after all, she’s not angry anymore."
Jiang Chenyue glared at him irritably, "You’re just eighteen?"
Qin Jun restrained himself a bit, curling his hand to cover his lips, pretending to cough to dispel his embarrassment. After all, being a child she raised since young, Jiang Chenyue couldn’t bring herself to project her anger onto him after the fury subsided. After calming down a bit, she pursed her lips and asked, "Has the whole Shen Family returned to the country?"
"How did you know?"
Then he guessed she probably asked someone after Rong Yan left.
"Shen Siyuan’s parents and brother have returned, Sir Shen will return tomorrow. I heard there’s a celebration for Sir Shen’s 60th anniversary next week. If it wasn’t for Shen Siyuan’s matter, he would also return next week. His early return might be related to Shen Yu and their activities over the past few days having no good effect. So, he might organize that celebration within these two days, taking the opportunity to invite Xixi and Li Shengxiao, and also some seniors to apply pressure, forcing them to release Shen Siyuan."
"Release Shen Siyuan?" Jiang Chenyue’s face sank, she sneered aloud, "They’re not pretty, but their thoughts are!"
Qin Jun observed her reaction somewhat gloomily, and then said in a low voice, "We can’t really blame them for thinking so. They don’t regard Xixi highly; to them, perhaps Xixi’s life isn’t as important as Shen Siyuan being hungry in the police station for three days."
His frank words were like a knife stabbing Jiang Chenyue’s heart. Jiang Chenyue first closed her eyes as if to calm down, then said, "That was the past, back then we didn’t find your sister. It’s different now! We’ve found her! Since when do people from the Chu Family get bullied by others! What is the Shen Family anyway, their daughter dares to almost take your sister’s life, I didn’t take her life so I’m being polite!"
