Chapter 1584: Trouble Occurs

“Vice Director Wei, I’m terribly sorry.”

Wei Kaiyun nodded, “Old Chen, just let me ask you, do you know the issue with this woman?”

Chen Zhiming looked a bit troubled, “I don’t know either.”

“Then make him speak up, you know it.”

Shi Xian had already called Old Yang over.

Jiang Xinyu now felt she was making an unnecessary fuss. Why call Old Yang over?

“Xiao Shuang, speak up, why harm the child?”

Yin Shuang kept her head down.

Old Yang had just entered the room to check on the child’s condition.

After coming out, he looked at Yin Shuang, “With your mindset, do you think you can remain silent?”

Yin Shuang wasn’t unwilling to speak but was scared and unsure how to say anything. She had been despised and abandoned by her husband, which had mentally affected her. Now similar questioning reminded her of that man’s past interrogations.

Before Old Yang could speak again, Yin Shuang suddenly squatted down, hugging her shoulders.

“Why don’t you want me? I didn’t do anything with that person, why? It’s you who wronged me.”

She repeated this sentence over and over, which sounded terrifying to outsiders.

“Old Chen, did you introduce such a person to me?”

“Vice Director Wei, I genuinely didn’t know. She’s my aunt’s cousin. After she got divorced, her family feared she might become distressed, so they wanted her to find a job here. I truly didn’t know she was like this.”

Jiang Xinyu sneered, thinking, “Is this how you evade responsibility? My child is only four months old, how can you let her harm him this way?”

Wei Kaiyun patted her hand, but Jiang Xinyu shook him off. She was in a very bad mood.

Wei Kaiyun’s face changed. Xinyu had never reacted this way before.

Old Yang had never seen Jiang Xinyu so emotionally intense either.

“Xiao Jiang, it’s okay. People like her should be sent straight to the farm. Don’t be angry.”

“Yes, don’t be angry. It’s not your responsibility.”

Jiang Xinyu realized her reaction was somewhat excessive and tried to calm her emotions down a bit.

“You don’t need to pretend. I want to hear the truth.”

Yin Shuang still squatted on the ground, muttering. Chen Zhiming watched his cousin like this, feeling torn between compassion and anger.

“Vice Director Wei, it seems my cousin genuinely suffered from a mental shock.”

“Chen Zhiming, we’re colleagues, so it’s impossible for this matter to just be glossed over. If you feel it’s unreasonable, we can follow the proper procedures. Honestly, this child belongs to my friend, is raised in my home, and this incident occurred. Plus, this person was introduced by me. Can this really be settled with just claiming she was mentally shocked?”

“Vice Director Wei, she is a pitiful person, discarded by a man.” Chen Zhiming felt compelled to fight for his cousin, thinking that if they pursued official procedures, it would ruin her future.

“Just tell me the truth and I’ll consider it.”

Jiang Xinyu was insistent today, wanting to know why this woman acted viciously.

Chen Zhipeng guessed this was Wei Kaiyun’s wife, and their request wasn’t unreasonable.

So he squatted beside Yin Shuang, “Xiao Shuang, if you don’t want to spend the rest of your life on a farm, tell the truth. Tell the truth, and I can help speak for you.” Chen Zhiming was at his wit’s end. Originally, he thought he was helping both his cousin by finding her work and relieving his superior’s difficulties, but it turned into a situation where he was caught off guard.

Listening to her cousin’s words, Yin Shuang calmed down a lot and suddenly stood up.

“I harmed the child because I thought about that ungrateful man, and while the child was crying beside me, I poked her. But she cried louder, aggravating my irritation.”

“When the child cried, we couldn’t possibly fail to hear it.”

“It happened after you went out in the morning. The old people were outside strolling.”

Jiang Xinyu’s face turned pale with anger, feeling guilty that her first instincts disliked her, yet she still kept her around. If she hadn’t kept her, the child wouldn’t have suffered.

Hence, she lost control.

“Do you have any sympathy? A four-month-old baby barely knows anything.”

Wei Kaiyun, seeing his wife so upset, quickly grabbed her hand, “Xinyu, don’t be angry. It’s okay.”

Han Xiangjun stood up at this point, “The child is mine and has been treated this way, as his father, I cannot remain silent and inactive. Let’s discuss what to do.”

Chen Zhiming found himself in a tough spot, considering it was impossible not to know Han Xiangjun in the Capital.

“Vice Director Wei, my cousin really suffered mental shock. Could we compensate the child a bit, and I’ll send her back home?”

Han Xiangjun snickered, “Quite a nice thought.”

“Mr. Han, please be merciful this time and spare her; she’s genuinely pitiful.”

“I question whether you truly were unaware of her issue or knew and still sent her here.”

“I genuinely didn’t know, only that her life’s been tough back home and she’s been feeling down. My aunt sought me out, which is why I agreed to let her come here.”

Jiang Xinyu calmed down, stood up, and returned to her room. She genuinely despised this woman but also blamed herself for not caring enough, resulting in her child’s ordeal.

Wei Kaiyun saw his wife return to their room, knowing their daughter was inside, and felt at ease.

“Chen Zhiming, we don’t want money, but this matter can’t just be let go.”

“Vice Director Wei, she’s a woman abandoned by a man. What could she do? Would you actually send her to the farm or hospital, which would completely ruin her life? Vice Director Wei, give her one more chance. I’ll send her home tomorrow.”

Han Xiangjun waved his hand, “Go, considering my temper, she should be punished, but I’ll be merciful today; go.”

Wei Kaiyun looked displeased at Han Xiangjun, as this could leave his wife feeling unsettled.

Han Xiangjun shook his head, resolving it himself so Xiao Jiang wouldn’t be burdened. It was best he handled it this way.

Need money? He’s not lacking it. How much could they offer? Even if she was locked up, the family here would remain dissatisfied. Better all around just to leave it be.

Chen Zhiming was momentarily stunned, not expecting it to be resolved so easily.

“Old Chen, make sure to remember, we aren’t pursuing it further, but if she ever harms others again, it won’t be ignored next time. Ensure she doesn’t go out to harm others.”

Chen Zhiming nodded profusely, “Vice Director Wei, I understand, I’ll definitely tell my aunt to ensure my cousin’s watched. Thank you for giving her this chance, she used to be a very gentle person.”
