Chapter 422 - The Naughty Child of the Wan Family
Since Wan Junhao could remember things, he knew that his family background allowed him to do anything at will and no one in the Caesar Academy would dare to seek trouble with him. Luckily, Wan Qingsi was strict with him and gave him a better upbringing to keep him from being a bastard. But now, being despised by Tuan Zi, he could not tolerate this.
“Don’t think you can be so arrogant just because you have a lovely face!” Wan Junhao’s face darkened and he said, “If you can’t beat me, I won’t call you Sister.”
When Tuan Zi was about to rebut him, her eyes glanced in front and then she ran ahead, smiling. “Uncle!”
Wan Qingsi held her in his arms and said, “Good girl, I already know about everything. I’ll help your mother vent her anger!”
“Well, my dad seems to have a plan!” Tuan Zi knew that he was talking about Bai Weirong.
Seeing the man who never hugged him hold Tuan Zi in his arms, Wan Junhao curled his lips and ran over. “Dad! I like my sister so much.” Then he looked at Wan Qingsi with his big twinkling eyes in order to beg for his hug.
Out of expectation, Wan Qingsi cast a glance at him and said, “Who’s Junjun? Who allows you to use reduplication?”
“The child did nothing wrong. We called him Junjun!” Chen Huan held Wan Junhao in her arms for she didn’t allow her son to scold her grandson while the little boy was almost crying.
Jiang Rui gave him another hit and said, “Crying again. Sissy.”
“Didn’t you hear that?” Wan Qingsi hurt his son’s feeling once more, and then said gently to Tuan Zi, “Tuan Zi, can you do me a favor? Teach your brother something these days, for he is too stupid.”
Tuan Zi smiled at Wan Junhao and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle. I’ll take care of him well.”
Wan Junhao was stunned for a moment because he did not expect this sister who he had never met before to be so popular. Now, he started to worry about his place in the family. Chen Huan noticed that his grandson was unhappy, but her battle value in front of Wan Qingsi was so lame, so the only thing she could do was hold him in her arms and comfort him.
“Junjun, could you take me to see our little sister?”
When Wan Junhao was about to refuse her, he caught a warning sign from his father. So he had to jump down from Chen Huan sadly and walk into the room hand in hand with Tuan Zi.
“Your son is nothing special,” Jiang Rui said bluntly. Chen Chen objected to him weakly. “I think he’s cute.”
“He’s not a girl. What can being cute bring him?” Wan Qingsi said coldly, “He’s spoiled by the comfortable environment. When the summer vacation comes, I’ll send him to your place and you can teach him.”
Jiang Rui squinted his eyes and said, “As long as you are willing to do so.”
“What’s there to be hesitant about? If I lose him, we can have another.”
Chen Chen walked slowly to pull her mother and asked, “Does my brother dislike Junjun?”
“Though he said so, he would kill those who bully his son.” Chen Huan rolled her eyes and said, “Anyway, Junjun is spoiled a lot. Your dad keeps saying that he will throw him to the bottom of the base.”
Chen Chen was shocked, for she knew that the bottom of the base was where the killers were trained and where Wan Yi and Wan Wu were produced.
“Junjun’s only five! Even if he put him there, he won’t get up.”
“Your dad has said that he would put him there during summer vacation.” Chen Huan paused to think and then continued, “So it’ll be better if he goes to your place!”
That was true… He would be tortured wherever he was sent. But at least the army would be a little more merciful.
In the evening, they had a happy dinner. Ah Sha’s daughter was just a hundred days old, who was a small and soft ball with facial features resembling Ying Wang’s.
“Where is Wangwang?” Jiang Rui asked.
Xin Qing smiled and said, “Chasing after a girl.”
“Haha!” Ying Cheng said proudly, “It’s said that he was dumped by a girl in his company. That girl went abroad, so my brother followed her.”
“He must have been smitten by her.” Ah Sha took the baby from Wan Qingsi and said, “Come, we should take a bath!”
Then all the men went to the study of Boss Wan, and walked out after a long talk. Staying there the whole week, Wan Junhao behaved himself on the fourth day. No matter if it was a game or riddle, he was totally defeated by Tuan Zi.
This was a heavy strike to the little boy. At night, he sat on the seashore feeling frustrated.
“You can’t even bear this. How can you claim to be a member of the Wan family?” Jiang Rui sat next to him but Wan Junhao gave him a stare and said, “You all like Sister Tuan Zi but no one likes me.”
Jiang Rui flicked his forehead and said, “Such a sissy to be so jealous of your own sister.”
Seeing the little guy almost crying, Jiang Rui slowly said, “May I tell you a story?”
“Go on!” Wan Junhao said impatiently.
The elder man and the younger man talked until late at night, and the next day, everybody noticed the change that had happened to Wan Junhao. Several days before, he treated Tuan Zi poorly, but now, he was like a little tail following Tuan Zi every day.
When Chen Chen was going to leave, the boy held Tuan Zi’s hands tight and said, “Sister, I’ll visit you on my vacation. Wait for me!”
Since they went back from the island, Chen Chen supposed that Jiang Rui would return to the army immediately. But two days passed, and he still stayed at home.
“Brother Xiao Rui…”
Jiang Rui was peeling an apple for her. “What’s the matter? Are you bored staying at home? Then we can take a walk outside. Today, Tuan Zi will go to see the Wen family so we can have dinner outside. What do you want?”
“Brother Xiao Rui, why are you still lying to me?” Tears came down as soon as she finished her words.
Jiang Rui was shocked by her. “What’s wrong? Why are you shedding tears?”
“Is there something happening to you?” Chen Chen asked, crying. “You don’t even go to the army. Did they dismiss you… In fact… in fact, it was all my fault. I’ll go to them and tell them the truth. You must take me there!”
“Silly girl, who said I’m dismissed? They don’t dare to do so.” Jiang Rui held her in her arms and said, “Don’t cry. I’m only on vacation.”
Chen Chen sobbed and asked him in doubt, “Really? Don’t lie to me.”
“Why should I lie to you?” Jiang Rui wiped her eyes and said, “Don’t worry. Obviously, I’m the target but they take advantage of you. Your brother and I won’t let it go easily. We need time.”
“Is that Lu Tao?”
“Right.” Jiang Rui took a towel and continued, “Only if he gets rid of me can he share the world with the Bai family. But he overestimates himself and underestimates me.”
After he helped her wash her face, he said, “Now, you must feel some relief! Change your clothes and we’ll go out for a walk.”
Jiang Rui took Chen Chen to buy some summer wear.
“It’s the first time that the two of us have spent the new year together. I’ll take you to the island of your mother.”
Chen Chen thought that they had spent the last new year together as well! She didn’t get Jiang Rui’s words. To this man, she was Tuan Zi’s mother last year. But now, she was his beloved…
After buying clothing for them, Chen Chen proposed to take a look at their store, which had stopped running over a month ago. As Jiang Rui thought, it should be closed before the Lunar New Year. When the spring came, they could discuss it.
“That craftsman in Yunnan said that he wouldn’t work at the end of the year, and our storage can be sold after the Spring Festival.” When Chen Chen was planning it, Jiang Rui’s face got dark. She turned around only to find Song Meiyu standing at the store, laughing at them.
Jiang Rui parked the car and helped Chen Chen get out. “Give me the keys, I’ll open the door.”
“Cousin, how are you doing!” Song Meiyu went over and greeted Jiang Rui.
Chen Chen wanted to ignore her, for she still held a grudge against Song Meiyu and her sister for what they did to Ah Zi. Bear kept saying that he would get even with them one day.
Jiang Rui pulled the door open and looked at Song Meiyu coldly. “I remembered that I said to not show up before my eyes. Now, it seems that you’ve turned a blind eye to me.”
“I…” Scared by Jiang Rui’s look, Song Meiyu trembled. But she raised her neck and said, “Cousin, you’ve got me wrong. It’s my own store. Take a look at this if you don’t believe my words!”
Chen Chen had noticed that the store next to her had changed from a menswear shop to a teahouse, and the decoration seemed to be of high quality.
“This is the first time that I own a business. I didn’t choose to be next to you on purpose.” Song Meiyu looked at Chen Chen as if she had been wronged. “This is my friend’s store. Now he went abroad to attend a matter, so he passed it on me and I changed it into a teahouse.”
Jiang Rui cast a glance outside and kept silent. He then drew Chen Chen and went into their store.
Song Meiyu shouted from outside the door, “Visit me if you have time!”
“She doesn’t even ask about the whereabouts of your grandma.” Chen Chen sighed and said, “I thought she gets along well with the elder!”
Jiang Rui poked her head and said, “Stupid girl. She’s only interested in my grandma’s background.” “Let’s clear up the stuff and leave here. After we spend the Spring Festival, we can come here again. I’m worried about you since she is around next door.”
Chen Chen felt that it did not matter at all and shrugged her shoulders. “She will come to seek trouble, won’t she?”
“Well, let’s go!”
Jiang Rui did not say it, but it did not mean that he would deny the possibility.
Song Meiyu’s idea was too clear to him. When they bought this place, Xiao Si had researched thoroughly and found that the store next to theirs belonged to the bank. They did not know who had helped Song Meiyu rent the store.
After inspecting it closely, the two got in the car and left. While Jiang Rui was starting his car, he saw from the rear-view mirror Song Meiyu waving at him at the door.
A coldness flashed before his eyes. He decided to sort her out after the Spring Festival.
In the hospital, Bai Weirong was still creating a disturbance.
“I won’t leave the hospital. If you don’t send Chen Chen, that bitch, to jail, I won’t go anywhere!” She pushed Lu Tao away and said, “You’ll help me, won’t you?”
Bai Kai just wanted to slap her in the face. “You can stay if you like. You can even spend your whole life here.”
“Dad, go home first. I’ll persuade her.” Lu Tao suggested to Bai Kai that he leave. But Bai Kai shook his head. He did not even look at her, for he had abandoned this daughter in his heart.
Lu Tao helped Bai Weirong to put clothes on. “Who said I didn’t take care of her? Jiang Rui had been suspended from his duties.”
“What?” Bai Weirong opened her eyes wide and asked, “Is that true?”
“Yes.” Lu Tao nodded and said, “Although they kept the news a secret, your grandpa heard it from Ziqi. It’s not wrong.”
Bai Weirong’s eyes lit up. “Then no one will protect Chen Chen. Haha, Jiang Rui must hate her.”
Lu Tao lifted the corner of his lip and said calmly, “If I were a man whose career had been destroyed by a woman, I would be regretful.”
“Right!” Bai Weirong put on the coat and said, “Let’s go. I’ll leave the hospital!”
