Meanwhile, Su Zhi'en had already arrived at her uncle's house with Bai Yu'an. Just as she had expected, the moment she entered the house, she was greeted by a barrage of curses from her uncle.
Five years ago, Su Zhi'en had already told her uncle about her two children and that she wasn't truly dead. But Su Zhi'en and her uncle had never met since then, and she has not even called him once.
No matter what, it was only fitting for Su Zhi'en's uncle to scold her. "Su Zhi'en, if you're so capable, then why did you come back? You shouldn't come back for the rest of your life if your so capable, right?!"
"This is my home. How can I not come back?" Su Zhi'en lowered her head in shame.
"You're bullsh*tting me! Your surname is Su, and this is the Bai family home! This is my home, not yours!" Uncle Bai was furious.
When Bai Yuning heard the yelling, she hugged her brother in fear and began to cry. "Why is Grand-uncle scolding Mommy? Does he not like Mommy?"
Bai Yu'an comforted his sister. "It's okay. It's just that Mommy was disobedient. That's why Grand-uncle is scolding her. Just like how Mommy scolded us whenever we were disobedient, right?" When Bai Yuning heard her brother's explanation, she stopped crying.
Sure enough, after scolding her for a while, Su Zhi'en's aunt walked out of the bedroom. "That's enough. No matter how much you scold her, she can't undo what had happened in the past. You should save your strength. If you die from anger, no one will come to visit your grave."
Su Zhi'en's uncle fell silent as Su Zhi'en tried to explain herself. "Aunt—"
"Stop. You don't have to explain yourself. Just tell me what you're thinking. Are you really going to see Old Master Jiang?"
Su Zhi'en's aunt's temperament was calmer than her uncle's. Her tone was cold, and her face was expressionless. There was a sense of estrangement all over her body, making Su Zhi'en lower her gaze.
"I'm afraid that if I end up meeting Old Master Jiang, he will restore my household name, then I will belong to the Jiang family once again. So I don't want to meet him."
"But if they force you, then you have no choice either," Su Zhi'en's aunt said.
"I'll think of something. But what about my children? I'm worried that the Jiang family will find out about them, so I can't allow my children to continue living here—"
"That's up to you to decide!" Before Su Zhi'en could finish her sentence, her aunt blurted out a cold sentence, and in an instant, the rest of Su Zhi'en's words were stuck in her throat.
Su Zhi'en had always been a little afraid of her aunt. It was because her aunt had an intimidating aura. Su Zhi'en's aunt was the eldest daughter of a family of scholars. As for Su Zhi'en, who was a fool who could not do anything right, she did not dare to talk to her aunt. When Su Zhi'en was growing up, the Su family had caused her uncle's family a lot of trouble, so she was ashamed to even look at her aunt.
Su Zhi'en then left with her two children and went to a house that she had found.
After Su Zhi'en left, her uncle was silent for a long while before he said, "Xiuying, why are you still blaming Su Zhi'en? She honestly did not understand what she was doing. Yanxi is coming home soon. Do you want her to be uneasy when she gets home?"
Shen Xiuying looked coldly at her husband sitting in the wheelchair, then turned around and left.
Yanxi was the wheelchair-bound uncle's daughter and the person who hated Su Zhi'en deeply five years ago.
Meanwhile, Su Zhi'en sorted out her two children and registered them into the nearest kindergarten, preparing to let them go to school here.
"Huh? Aren't we going back home, Mommy? Are we switching kindergartens?"
Bai Yuning's face was filled with shock when she heard that she would be switching kindergartens. Bai Yuning was a very sentimental girl. She had several good friends in Angel Kindergarten. One of them was responsible for doing homework with her, the other was responsible for playing with her, and the other was responsible for bringing her delicious food.
Su Zhi'en softly pinched her daughter's cheeks. "We're only staying here for a little while. Mommy has a patient to treat, and he needs some time to recover, so my two babies will have to put up with Mommy's nonsense for a while."
"Alright then." Although Bai Yuning was a little reluctant, she still nodded and agreed maturely.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu'an was busy. He was looking for information on that evil man. He thought about this carefully, 'I need to do a background check on that bad man so that we can have a fight between two men! I absolutely cannot let this man harass my mother!'
However, when Bai Yu'an looked at Jiang Chen's high-definition photo, he was shocked. 'Why does he look so much like me? He can't possibly be my father, right?' When Bai Yu'an thought of this, his eye's widened. He ran to his mother's side and asked, "Mommy, you told us that our father died, right?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" Su Zhi'en nodded unknowingly when Bai Yu'an asked her this question out of the blue. Su Zhi'en would always say the same thing whenever her children asked this question, so her nod was just a reflex.
This time, however, Bai Yu'an had a strange reaction. After a while, he asked, "Then how did he die?"
"Huh?" Su Zhi'en was stunned for a moment. She had never thought of this before. "He was uh… He accidentally drowned in the sea! The kind of death where you could never find the body. Yes, that's how he died!"
Bai Yu'an was skeptical. 'Is this a made-up story? So, could that evil man really be my father?' At the thought of this, Bai Yu'an became angrier. He decided that he would find this evil man. 'Why is this evil man harassing my mother, and why didn't he want my sister and me?
