Jiang Baobao naturally felt Li Beijue's gaze, and seeing him seemingly sizing her up, she curled her lips in disdain, "What kind of look is that, President Li? If you keep looking at me like this, I might think you still have some feelings for your ex-wife..."
Li Beijue's expression stiffened, and he instantly turned his face away with a sneer, "Are you worthy? I've lost interest in my life for a woman who stole another's genes and then disappeared!"
Jiang Baobao's heart suddenly trembled fiercely.
"Are you worthy" these three words, she had heard too many times today.
In the past, she might have thought that no woman was worthy of Li Beijue.
But now, it was only the men in this world who were not worthy of her!
All the more so for Li Beijue!
Thinking this way, Jiang Baobao coldly sneered to herself and deliberately put on an indifferent facade, "It seems President Li still has some self-awareness, knowing that the only thing of value in him is some genes... cough cough... uh!"
A fierce look appeared on Li Beijue's face for an instant, and he abruptly grabbed Jiang Baobao's chin, "Have the guts to repeat what you just said?"
His gaze was menacing as he looked at Jiang Baobao, whose complexion instantly turned red, his tone ominously chilly.
Did this woman have a death wish?
How dared she provoke him like this?
Damn it!
"Ah, it hurts..." Jiang Baobao's chin was pinched painfully, but her eyes still looked defiantly at Li Beijue as she spoke in a halting voice, "If you have the ability... then kill me! If I die... no one will compete with you for... your son..."
Before Jiang Baobao could finish her words, she suddenly felt the grip on her chin relax abruptly.
Her legs also suddenly gave out, almost falling to the ground.
Li Beijue coldly watched her, casually pulling out a tissue from the desk as if he had just touched something filthy.
"Wanting to die isn't that easy, we'll settle the scores of the past slowly..."
His expression was detached, his tone devoid of any warmth, as he turned and sat back down at his desk, casually pressing a few buttons on the telephone.
Jiang Baobao was gasping for air, her chin burning with pain.
Before she could react, she suddenly heard a commotion behind her, and several people in security uniforms walked in from outside the study.
Li Beijue coldly swept a glance over Jiang Baobao and commanded sternly, "Throw this woman out, and if she's found loitering nearby, drive her away immediately!"
"Yes!" the security replied promptly, swiftly stepping forward to grab Jiang Baobao by the arms, one on each side!
Jiang Baobao panicked and immediately struggled fiercely, but it was futile.
All she could do was shout, "Li Beijue! I can agree to any conditions you have, but how are you any different from a bandit this way?"
Li Beijue ignored Jiang Baobao, merely raising his hand to signal the security to take her away quickly.
Jiang Baobao, powerless to resist, was pushed out from the gates of Li Mansion, watching the gate shut with a clang right before her eyes.
She stood there, her mind filled with thoughts of her son Mobai.
Her precious son couldn't just be left here, but...
How could she do anything if Li Beijue refused to let go?
A City was Li Beijue's turf, and her chances of winning a fight for her son there were almost nil...
Jiang Baobao felt defeated as she left, and just as she returned to the hotel, she heard her cell phone ringing.
She picked up the phone and saw it was Cai Xiaotang, quickly pulling herself together.
As soon as the video call connected, Jiang Motian's chubby little face appeared on the screen.
Tiantian, the little girl, seemed to have just woken up and looked groggy, but her voice was anxious as she asked, "Mommy, did you see brother?"
Taken aback by her words, Jiang Baobao opened her mouth but was at a loss for what to say.
Then she saw Cai Xiaotang's face on the screen as well, equally anxious, "Baobao, is Mobai with you? I found out he might have gone to the airport. I'm sorry, it's my fault for not keeping an eye on him..."
Jiang Baobao felt a mix of emotions, immediately responding with a resigned wave of her hand, "Don't worry, Mobai, he...is with me. He's sleeping right now."
Not wanting to worry Tiantian, she told a white lie.
Then she saw Tiantian instantly pout unhappily, "Did brother really go to find Mommy? That's too much! How dare he sneak away without telling me! Hmph! It makes me so mad!"
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but be torn between laughter and tears, "What? You want to sneak away too? Brother is disobedient, and Mommy has to discipline him! Tiantian, you shouldn't do the same, okay?"
"Mhmm." Tiantian immediately nodded, "I always listen to Mommy! I won't be like stinky brother!"
Jiang Baobao couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling a bit of comfort as she watched her spirited little daughter on the screen.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Baobao subtly gestured to Cai Xiaotang.
Cai Xiaotang immediately caught on and found an excuse to send little Tiantian away, then said, "All right, tell me, what can't that little girl hear?"
Jiang Baobao didn't hide it and said in a grave tone, "Mobai was taken away by Li Beijue!"
"What?" Cai Xiaotang was shocked, needing a moment to process the information.
Jiang Baobao sighed, "Yes, you heard it right, it's Li Beijue."
She briefly explained everything she had encountered since disembarking the plane earlier that day.
"Damn it! That bastard is so sneaky! To think he had the police arrest you, he must have been surveilling you all along," Cai Xiaotang swiftly pieced everything together, her tone certain and angry.
Jiang Baobao didn't argue, "I'm not sure how long he's been watching me, but now's not the time to think about that. I must get Mobai back."
"Right! We must get him back!" Cai Xiaotang agreed, then quickly added with concern, "But you're here in China alone, without any help..."
"I don't need help. This is between him and me." After saying this, Jiang Baobao thought of something else and hastily added, "Xiao Tang, I only have one request for you."
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately turned serious, "What's this 'request' business? Just tell me straight away!"
Jiang Baobao pursed her lips and after a moment of contemplation, she slowly began, "I want to ask you to take good care of Tiantian. She must not be taken away by Li Beijue again. I'm not sure if she's under surveillance..."
"I understand what you mean!" Cai Xiaotang cut off Jiang Baobao, her complexion showing a hint of hesitation, "I'm fine with taking care of Tiantian for now, but I have to return to the country for work in a while. Outside of me, there's no one else to look after Tiantian abroad..."
Hearing this, Jiang Baobao's heart sank instantly. Cai Xiaotang was the only person she trusted.
She closed her eyes, fell silent for a long stretch, and reluctantly made a decision, speaking softly, "Then when the time comes, just bring Tiantian back with you. After you return, I'll take care of her and make sure she doesn't get hurt."
Even if they've been discovered, she would never let Li Beijue succeed!!!
