Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 356: She’s Not Your Mother

“Then what does Dongli Shenghua think?” Wei Shuyi couldn’t help but worry about Jiaren Wu’s situation.

People like Donli Shenghua were ruthless. He must have investigated Jiaren Wu’s identity. What would he do to her? Wouldn’t her situation become dangerous?

With the wolf as her companion, Jiaren has to live in danger every day.

Wei Shuyi felt sorry for Jiaren Wu.

Fang Yusheng said, “He will definitely keep testing Jiaren.” Actually, Fang Yusheng was more curious about one question. Why did Dongli Shenghua keep Jiaren Wu by his side even though he knew that she was once a police officer? Does he enjoy the feeling of playing with an enemy to death, or does he have another motive?

“It’s also possible that she doesn’t know the true identity of the Dongli Shenghua.”

This was also possible.

After all, only a few people knew of the identity of Dongli Shenghua.

Even Fang Yusheng had managed to find out Dongli Shenghua’s true identity only with Yan Nuo’s help.

Wei Shuyi didn’t know whether Jiaren Wu knew the identity of the Dongli Shenghua or not. Was it a coincidence that she approached him, or was it intentional?

But his mood became heavy.

The two men returned to the living room together. Wei Shuyi saw a little boy playing in the living room. The boy was about six years old. He wore a gray monk robe and was playing with Fang Zikai on a cushion.

Jiaren Wu squatted next to the two children like a nanny to prevent them from getting into a conflict.

Sensing someone looking at him, Dongli Ao raised his head.

Wei Shuyi had met Dongli Shenghua only once, but he had a deep impression of him. In his memory, that person had the same cold expression as this child. This child is indeed Dongli Shenghua’s son. He’s simply a mini version of him.

Dongli Ao slowly retracted his gaze.

He asked Jiaren Wu, “Sister Wu, is that your boyfriend?”

Jiaren Wu nodded and said, “You have to call him Brother.”

Dongli Ao pursed his lips and said disdainfully, “Him? Brother?” His gaze swept across Wei Shuyi’s face. In the end, he said with disdain, “He doesn’t look any younger than my daddy. I will call him uncle.”

Wei Shuyi narrowed his eyes.

Regardless of whether it was his words or his expression, this child was asking for a beating.

At this moment, Dongli Ao started to be a busybody again.

He said, “Sister Wu, if this is the man you’re talking about who’s more attractive than my daddy, then I can only say that you don’t have good taste.” The little guy snorted coldly. That arrogant expression made Wei Shuyi grit his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

“Why don’t you consider being my daddy’s girlfriend when you guys break up one day?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiaren Wu instantly felt terrible.

She looked at Wei Shuyi worriedly.

Wei Shuyi really couldn’t hold it in anymore. He handed Fang Zicheng to Fang Yusheng and walked over quickly. Squatting in front of Dongli Ao, he looked at the kid with a flat gaze. Then, he used his index finger to poke Dongli Ao’s cheek and pretended to be fierce. “Little guy, do you know that trouble starts from the mouth? Don’t think that I’m unable to do anything to you just because you’re young. Jiaren will dote on you because of her work, but I won’t.”

Dongli Ao was not afraid of Wei Shuyi at all. He pointed a middle finger at him.

Wei Shuyi frowned.

Dongli Ao said arrogantly, “What’s so great about hitting a child! If you have the ability, go hit my daddy.”

Wei Shuyi retracted his finger, not bothering to argue with him.

He did not like this child. He’s not cute at all.

Jiaren Wu shook her head at Wei Shuyi and comforted him. “Xiao Ao is just a child. Don’t listen to him.” She quickly swore to prove her innocence. “I like you very much, and I have no feelings for Mr. Dongli.”

Wei Shuyi smiled.

When Dongli Ao heard this, the corner of his mouth sank.

Dongli Ao stayed for only half an hour before going back.

He had been silent when he left, and it seemed that someone had made him angry.

After he left, Wei Shuyi asked Jiaren Wu, “Does he really like you?”

“Not necessarily,” Jiaren Wu said. “He thinks that I have ulterior motives for being his daddy’s bodyguard.”

“What motive?” Wei Shuyi asked calmly.

Jiaren Wu shrugged and didn’t hide anything. She said, “He thought I wanted to be his stepmother. Didn’t you see that Dongli Shenghua raised a child, who he had before getting married, and has a messy private life? As a young lady, I must be blind to fight with the other girls to be this kid’s stepmother.”

Wei Shuyi laughed.

He caught Fang Zikai, who had rolled off the cushion, and placed him back on it. As he played with the kid, Wei Shuyi pretended to ask casually, “Then, do you have any other motives for getting close to Dongli Shenghua?” As he asked this, he kept observing Jiaren Wu’s reaction from the corner of his eyes.

However, Jiaren Wu curled her lips in disdain and replied without hesitation, “If it wasn’t because his salary was high, who would be his bodyguard?”

Wei Shuyi didn’t reply, but his heart sank.

Her reaction is too natural. There is no sign of her acting at all.

In that case, was it really just a coincidence that she went to apply for the job of Dongli Shenghua’s bodyguard?

Fang Yusheng, who was standing a distance away, turned to look at Jiaren Wu when he heard this. His eyes were also slightly narrowed. It was obvious that he was trying to guess if Jiaren Wu was telling the truth.

***

After being sent to the gate by Qi Bufan, Dongli Ao raised his head and thanked him. Then he walked toward Mansion Number Seven.

Dongli Shenghua was at work today. Only the housekeeper and the butler were at home.

When the butler saw that Dongli Ao had returned, he walked out to welcome him.

“Young Master, why are you back so early today?” Dongli Ao often went to the Fang family’s house to play recently. The two children of the Fang family were really cute. This cold-looking young master loved those two children very much. In the past, when he went to Mansion Number Nine, he would not return until two hours had passed.

What a strange day!

Dongli Ao lowered his head and stepped on the stairs. He entered the main door and walked into the villa without looking back.

Seeing that he was ignoring him, the butler could not help but guess that the young master had been angered by the Fang family.

At night, when Dongli Shenghua returned home, it was already past eight.

“Where’s Xiao Ao?”

The butler said, “Little Master went upstairs after dinner.”

Dongli Shenghua glanced at the gaming room and curiously asked the butler, “He didn’t play games and stayed upstairs?”

“No.”

Dongli Shenghua went upstairs and pushed open Dongli Ao’s room.

He knew that the boy was pretending to be asleep.

“Who provoked you in the Fang family today?” Dongli Shenghua sat by the bed and asked him. He thought that the two little fellows from the Fang family had bullied him. Dongli Ao was a good-for-nothing to be bullied by two babies, who drank milk.

Dongli Ao’s eyes opened a crack. “I’m asleep,” he said. “Please don’t talk to me.”

Dongli Shenghua smoothly said, “Then, Xiao Ao, please have a few words with your daddy in your dream.”

Dongli Ao fell silent and simply closed his eyes.

“Why are you unhappy?”

If there was anyone in this world that Dongli Shenghua cared about, it would be this little fellow.

The child with his eyes closed said, “She really doesn’t like you.”

Stunned, Dongli Shenghua subconsciously asked, “Who?”

“Jiaren.”

Dongli Shenghua’s eyes darkened. He held Dongli Ao’s hand and said, “Daddy doesn’t like her either. She has someone she loves. Xiao Ao, you have to accept this fact.”

“But she looks so much like Mommy. How could she not like you?”

A flash of pain appeared in Dongli Shenghua’s eyes. It was very faint and disappeared very quickly.

The child’s hand was meaty, but it seemed fragile when he squeezed his palm. It would almost break if he squeezed it. Dongli Shenghua looked at his son’s small hand and sighed. Then he said, “Xiao Ao, your mother is no longer here. No matter how much Jiaren resembles your mother, she is not her.”

Dongli Ao did not say anything. He just covered his head with his little monkey.

When Dongli Shenghua saw him like this, his cold face warmed up a little. He touched his son’s soft hair and heard his son say in a muffled voice, “But I want my mother.”

Dongli Shenghua’s heart ached.

“I’m sorry!”

He lowered his head and kissed the side of Dongli Ao’s face.

Dongli Ao burrowed his head into the blanket.

Dongli Shenghua did not hear his cries, but he saw his small shoulders shaking.

“Sigh…”

***

The next day, Jiaren Wu came to the villa to send Dongli Shenghua to work.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Dongli Ao squatting on the ground, holding a stick in his hand and drawing something.

Jiaren Wu went over to take a look and saw a demon-like figure.

“Who did you draw?”

Dongli Ao had already heard her footsteps and knew that she was here.

“None of your business!”

His tone was especially arrogant and somewhat rough.

Jiaren Wu did not know how she had provoked him.

She then went to the garage and checked Dongli Shenghua’s car. After confirming that there was no problem with it, she came back to inform Dongli Shenghua that they could set off. The two of them walked out of the villa one after another and passed by the place where Dongli Ao had previously painted. Jiaren Wu looked down and saw a few letters written beside the little devil.

B + W.

Jiaren Wu was stunned for a moment. She pondered for a moment and felt that Dongli Ao had most likely written her initials.
