Chapter 1583: An Incident Occurs

This time Jiang Xinyu was not having it. She held the little girl, soothing her. Finally, she stopped crying, and by now they were both drenched in sweat.

Jiang Xinyu gave her a bath, applying talcum powder to her armpits and the backs of her knees. Only then did she put on a vest, which belonged to Tingting when she was little. The fabric was cool and comfortable to wear.

She gave the little girl some water to drink. After crying for so long, she must be thirsty.

Jiang Xinyu’s anger was rising rapidly. No need to say, it must have been Yin Shuang’s doing. But why? Even though children can be annoying and love to cry and make a fuss, you could always choose not to engage.

The child had been comforted. Jiang Xinyu didn’t react immediately; she wanted to wait for Wei Kaiyun and Han Xiangjun to return.

She wasn’t afraid of Yin Shuang but feared that if something happened, there would be no one to comfort the child.

Yin Shuang was also quite scared when she heard the child’s heart-wrenching cries. However, she consoled herself, thinking the child was too young to speak. So, she remained hopeful that she’d get away with it.

She was particularly angry today, mainly because she recalled the man who had abandoned her. With the child crying noisily beside her, she lost control for a moment.

Her mind was in turmoil. However, nothing happened for a long while. Now she was relieved, thinking it hadn’t been discovered.

That afternoon, Jiang Xinyu took the child outside to soak up some sun. The little one didn’t have much awareness of her surroundings yet, but she liked staying close to Jiang Xinyu.

Yin Shuang came over, “Xiao Jiang, let me hold Shishi.”

“No need.”

Jiang Xinyu carried the child to Shang Zhenkun’s room, where he was listening to Zhou Zhiping read the newspaper.

Seeing them come in, Zhou Zhiping stopped reading the newspaper.

“Xinyu, what’s the matter?”

“Master Shang, this child was harmed by that mentally unstable woman.”

As she spoke, she pried apart the child’s toes.

Shang Zhenkun’s eyesight wasn’t very good anymore, so he put on his glasses and saw the child’s wound.

“Xiao Jiang, this woman might not be right in the head. Let’s wait for Xiao Wei to come back and discuss it.”

“That’s what I was thinking too. I’m afraid the child will get scared. What on earth did Wei Kaiyun do?”

Jiang Xinyu felt a little cross at Wei Kaiyun. A mother can’t bear to see a child hurt, and though this wasn’t her biological child, she was raising her, so she blamed her man for it.

Yin Shuang was now completely at a loss. Jiang Xinyu’s earlier demeanor had scared her. She really didn’t know what to do, and she wandered around the room, truly worried. Now she regretted it a little.

Her cousin had found her this job. This household was really good. She didn’t have to do much except take care of children. The pay was not bad either. If she lost this job, where would she find another one?

Jiang Xinyu had never felt this anxious before. She just hoped they would return quickly.

The first to return were Shi Xian and Tingting, who saw their mother holding the little one.

“Mom, isn’t it uncomfortable holding her in this heat?”

Jiang Xinyu nodded, it was indeed quite hot. However, she felt guilty towards the child, so she kept holding her, to ease her own guilt.

“Go do your homework.”

Shi Xian shrugged, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and left.

Tingting was more observant, “Mom, is little sister feeling unwell?” The little girl seemed a bit listless.

“Yes, she’s not feeling well. Go do your homework.”

Tingting knew her mother was in a bad mood, so she also slung her backpack and walked away.

Shi Jing and Feifei, along with two others, also returned.

Seeing Feifei, Jiang Xinyu’s eyes reddened. This scared Feifei a lot.

“Mom, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

Shi Jing hadn’t noticed earlier and was talking with Shang Zhenkun. Hearing Feifei’s words, he jumped in fright, took two or three steps forward, and asked, “Mom.”

“Look at Shishi’s toes.”

Feifei, being quite observant, pried them open for a look and gasped.

“Mom, don’t be sad, it’s okay. Dad and Uncle Han will be back soon.”

Jiang Xinyu felt she had been too at ease these past few years, panicking over such a small matter, needing to be comforted by the children.

Jianbin came in. Shi Jing called him over to check the little girl’s foot, and he was so furious that his chest heaved. Unlike his father, Jianbin quite liked this little girl.

But how could such a thing happen?

Shi Jing held Jianbin back, “Let’s keep an eye on that woman; don’t let her get away.”

The little girl squirmed in Jiang Xinyu’s arms. Jiang Xinyu carried her back to the room, helped her use the toilet, and nursed her.

The more she looked at her, the more guilty she felt towards the little girl.

Han Xiangjun came back and, hearing Feifei’s words, immediately entered Jiang Xinyu’s room.

“Xiao Jiang, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, we’ve got this.”

Wei Kaiyun also came in. Jiang Xinyu wasn’t having it anymore, glaring at Wei Kaiyun furiously.

The little girl had already fallen asleep. The three of them came out.

“Feifei, go in and look after Shishi.”

“Got it, Mom.”

Yang Run Tai also wanted to go in this time and wasn’t stopped.

Wei Kaiyun’s face looked very unpleasant.

“Shi Jing, Jianbin, you two go to this address and get Chen Zhiming over here. Right now.”

The two immediately left with the cart.

Now, Jiang Xinyu felt confident. She remained seated in the living room, not voicing her complaints against Wei Kaiyun, as she intended to do that privately with him later.

Yin Shuang was called in. Seeing the scene, she knew it was really all over this time.

So she got scared, her eyes especially flustered.

“Why’d you do that? This is just a four-month-old baby. How could she possibly have gotten in your way?”

Jiang Xinyu couldn’t hold back her anger anymore after suppressing it for so long. She was too furious—no mother can stand such things.

Yin Shuang didn’t say a word. She just stood there with her head down.

Wei Kaiyun patted Jiang Xinyu’s hand, worried that she was too upset. He knew that children were his wife’s soft spot—even though this wasn’t her biological child, she was raising her.

“Not talking? That’s fine; you’ll talk soon enough.”

Shi Jing and Jianbin arrived at Chen Zhiming’s home,

“I’m Jiang Shijing, Wei Kaiyun’s son. My dad wants you to come over right now.”

Chen Zhiming had just gotten home and was about to eat. Hearing Shi Jing’s words, he said, “You two stand over there, I’ll go after finishing my meal.”

“Ha, you can eat, but our family can’t. Your cousin has harmed our child.” Jianbin was very unceremonious.

Chen Zhiming paused for a moment, “Alright, let’s go,” deeply regretting his failure to heed his wife’s advice. If he hadn’t meddled with his cousin’s affairs, such a situation wouldn’t have arisen.

Not to mention Wei Kaiyun being his boss, even as just colleagues, it was still a big deal to harm someone in the workplace.

He rode his bike, following the two young men. He knew Wei Kaiyun had four children, and these two sons were quite good-looking.

They reached the Wei Family; Chen Zhiming followed them in and entered the living room, looking at the people inside, then at his cousin standing in the middle.
