He Lingchuan looked at the person he was talking to and raised his right eyebrow.
“The surveillance footage is evidence. He’s your man, so you must have ordered him to push the child into the pool.”
He gripped Zhou Mingyan's hand tightly and looked at the onlookers: "Call the police, call the police now."
That's enough.
Shen Yanxi placed her hand on He Lingchuan's wrist and angrily rebuked him, "Stop making trouble."
“Chen Yanxi, did you see clearly? This man pushed your child into the pool.”
"He didn't do it."
Shen Yanxi defended Zhou Mingyan, and as soon as she spoke, those who had originally sided with He Lingchuan switched sides. They were afraid of Shen Yanxi's status and saw no need to offend her for He Lingchuan's sake.
While checking on Nan Chen's condition, Shen Yanxi explained to Zhou Mingyan, "Isn't he so jealous because of you? If you hadn't tried to win over the two children and keep them away from Mingyan, he wouldn't have acted impulsively like this. Besides, it wasn't him who did it, it was his bodyguard."
Shen Yanxi looked at the bodyguard hiding in the crowd and offered a reason for him: "I guess he was just angry at your behavior, which is why he acted impulsively and hurt the child. Is that so hard to understand?"
You say you understand him?
He Lingchuan was almost driven mad by her, but Shen Yanxi actually said she could understand.
He Lingchuan's face turned pale. He grabbed Nan Chen and pulled him behind him, saying, "I'm taking the two children away. I will never let them get close to you dangerous people again."
"Don't even think about it. This is my child. Even if he has to leave, he will come with me."
Shen Yanxi's eyes were sharp. Her relationship with He Lingchuan had always been very harmonious. If He Lingchuan hadn't just said he was going to take the child away, she would have even wanted He Lingchuan to stay at home forever.
Nan Chen looked up at He Lingchuan, hesitating to speak.
Before he fell into the water, he heard Zhou Mingyan say that his father was trying to sow discord between him and his mother, and that his goal was to take him away from him.
At first, he and Beichen didn't believe it, until they heard what He Lingchuan said just now.
He stammered, pulling his hand away from He Lingchuan's grasp: "I... I don't want to go with you."
Bei Chen stepped out from behind him and ran towards Shen Yanxi, saying, "I don't want to leave my mother either."
He Lingchuan's face turned pale. He realized that what he had just said might have frightened the two children. He Lingchuan patiently tried to explain, but they had already formed a preconceived notion and simply wouldn't listen to him.
“Nanchen and Beichen, your father is doing this for your own good. As long as your mother promises not to hurt you again, I will not take you away.”
"Stop talking."
Shen Yanxi suddenly stepped forward, blocking He Lingchuan, who was about to squat down and talk to the two children properly.
She pushed the two children into Zhou Mingyan's arms and waved to him, signaling him to take the children and leave first.
He Lingchuan frowned, his gaze towards her carrying a hint of displeasure. He was anxious and wanted to chase after her, but Shen Yanxi stopped him: "What are you going to do now?"
In her eyes, He Lingchuan had never done anything good: "You still want to make a move against Mingyan?"
"Shen Yanxi, how could you let him leave with the child? Are you really okay with that?"
“Mingyan just said it was an accident, and I can understand his actions. Why are you being so aggressive? He Lingchuan, don’t forget that I have custody of the child. If you continue to act so unreasonably, I have the right to refuse all your future visitation rights.”
"What did you say?"
He Lingchuan's expression was solemn, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Shen Yanxi.
I don't want to repeat myself.
After saying the last word, Shen Yanxi left without looking back, leaving He Lingchuan alone at the banquet, exchanging bewildered glances with the other guests.
They made a joke of He Lingchuan and pointed fingers at him.
He Lingchuan was furious. He tore up the invitation and went back to the lab. Since Shen Yanxi didn't care about the children's safety, why was he so anxious?
Even after returning to the lab, He Lingchuan couldn't calm down. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He berated Lian Chenyanxi to Gu Chengze: "Is she a mother? She doesn't care about the child's life or death at all. All she thinks about is Zhou Mingyan."
Gu Chengze patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, don't be angry. Go back tonight and explain it to the children. They will believe you."
He Lingchuan's only worry now is that the two children will misunderstand him due to the instigation of Zhou Mingyan and Shen Yanxi.
Having finally made it to the end of the workday, He Lingchuan couldn't stand it for even a minute longer and was the first to leave the lab.
...
His return was rather sudden, and fearing it might frighten the children, he specifically entrusted the toys to the housekeeper so they could deliver them to the children first.
At this time, the children should not have eaten yet. He Lingchuan walked towards the kitchen and heard Zhou Mingyan scream as soon as he got there.
"Ouch...it hurts."
He Lingchuan frowned, his eyes full of disdain.
He watched as Shen Yanxi pulled Zhou Mingyan's hand into her eyes, her brows and eyes filled with tenderness and heartache.
"Xixi, blood organs."
Zhou Mingyan looked distressed and tried to pull his hand away, but Shen Yanxi gripped it even tighter.
A few minutes later, Shen Yanxi let go of Zhou Mingyan's hand and led him to the sink to rinse off the water.
Even though the bleeding had stopped, Shen Yanxi still looked at Zhou Mingyan anxiously, and gently comforted the person next to her: "You will definitely be a good father in the future."
"I can't even cook a meal properly."
Zhou Mingyan scratched his head and lowered it somewhat embarrassedly.
He began to mock himself, trying to gain Shen Yanxi's sympathy and pity in this way.
Only Shen Yanxi would fall for it.
"Xixi, do you think I'm useless? I can't do anything right, I seem to be really not as good as He Lingchuan."
"Don't say that. At least the children like you, and it's already very kind of you to cook for them."
Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Mingyan with deep affection; their eyes were practically locked in a silent exchange.
Snap snap snap...
He Lingchuan couldn't stand it anymore. He clapped as he walked in, his eyes full of mockery: "It's really rare for someone as stupid as you to have a meal with you."
"He Lingchuan, stop being sarcastic."
Shen Yanxi frowned and carefully held Zhou Mingyan's fingers, afraid of touching the wound.
He Lingchuan looked at the red and swollen spot on his forehead and said deliberately, "You'd better bandage it up quickly, otherwise you won't be able to see the wound once it heals."
"He Lingchuan, do you have any empathy at all?"
Shen Yanxi took Zhou Mingyan's hand, and the two walked together to He Lingchuan.
He Lingchuan met their gazes and shrugged: "It's just cooking a meal, what's with the fuss? I've been cooking for so many years and you've never shown me any concern. So this is how mistresses are treated? No wonder Zhou Mingyan enjoys it so much."
