Chen Junjie originally wanted to take the child away while the child was still young, but seeing Mimi clinging to Su Man, he couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't know that it was Mimi's soul that was in this body, and he thought that the child's nature was to rely on the mother.
Just as he was pondering this, the phone in his trouser pocket rang. He glanced at the screen and walked out to answer it. "Hey, honey, what's wrong? You missed me after just one day of not seeing me?"
Tang Yiyi's scolding voice came from the microphone, "You're already a father but you're still not acting properly. Didn't you say you'd video call me to see the baby? I'm still waiting."
Before returning home, Chen Junjie had already agreed with Tang Yiyi that he would video chat with her as soon as he took the child out of Xiang Man's room, so that she could see the child in advance. Tang Yiyi calculated that the time was about right, so she called.
Chen Junjie faced the closed door and said hesitantly, "The child is too young now. It might be better to leave him with Xiang Man."
There was silence in the microphone.
Seeing this, Chen Junjie quickly tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, I'll bring him over in a couple of days when he's one month old. Then I'll bring him directly to your place so you can take care of him, okay?"
The next second, Tang Yiyi's tearful voice rang out through the receiver, "I'm sorry, Junjie. I'm too selfish. Children need their own mothers. It's a pity that I'm never qualified to be a mother. I didn't mean to take your child away. I just... I'm sorry, Junjie. Perhaps, my existence in this world is a mistake."
After he finished speaking, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Junjie was afraid that she would be upset, so he quickly called her back, but no matter how many times he called, the tone was busy. After calling a few more times, the phone was turned off.
He didn't care about the children and ran out with the car keys.
Aunt Liu was waiting for Chen Junjie in the living room. When she saw him come out, she quickly approached him and said, "Junjie, didn't you say you would bring the child out? Why haven't you come out yet?"
Chen Junjie's mind was full of Tang Yiyi, and he couldn't care about anything else. He said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it later."
Aunt Liu was just about to use the child to teach Su Man a lesson because she had just offended her. Seeing Chen Junjie backing off, she didn't understand why and thought that Chen Junjie had softened his heart. She grabbed Chen Junjie and said earnestly, "Junjie, Xiang Man is so arrogant just after giving birth to a child. If you don't kill her arrogance now, she will be so arrogant in the future. You'd better take the child out."
Chen Junjie was worried about Tang Yiyi and didn't have time to listen to Aunt Liu's nagging. He pushed her away impatiently, "Okay, Aunt Liu, don't worry about our family's affairs. Go and sweep the floor."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Such a rude attitude made Aunt Liu so angry that she was speechless for a long time. After a long while, she said angrily, "Okay, you all treat me as a nanny, right? From now on, I will not be responsible for your family's troubles!"
"What did you say."
Aunt Liu turned around suddenly and saw Lu Li looking at her with a sullen face.
Aunt Liu laughed awkwardly. "Madam, I just said that casually. I'm just worried that Junjie was bullied by Xiang Man. That's not what I meant. You are my sister, so Junjie is naturally my nephew. How could I harm him?"
"Aunt Liu, I asked you to come to my house because I saw that your family was going through a difficult time. Now that you've received your wages, you should do your part and understand your place. As for our family's affairs, you don't have to worry about them."
"Yes...Madam." Aunt Liu said through gritted teeth.
After Lu Li left, Aunt Liu felt her face burning. She turned around and saw the part-time worker. She said angrily, "What are you looking at? Go do your job."
She used to rely on her seniority to order the part-time worker around. The part-time worker was fooled and really thought she was a relative of the Chen family. Now, after hearing what Lu Li said, she understood the reason. She said sarcastically, "Aunt Liu, whether I work or not is not your concern. I get paid by the Chen family and do the Chen family's work. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with you, Aunt Liu."
"You!" Aunt Liu was so angry that she jumped up and down when she saw that a part-time worker dared to confront her. "You old idiot, wait until I get back and tell my wife to kick you out!"
The hourly worker rolled his eyes and said, "We are all employees, but we act like we are superior to others. We are just bullying others."
Seeing the chefs peeking out of the kitchen to watch the excitement, Aunt Liu felt that her prestige was gone. She was furious and cursed Su Man in her heart.
If it weren't for that little bitch, how could she have offended the Madam? She would have to pay her due sooner or later!
...
At the same time, Chen Junjie drove all the way to Tang Yiyi's residence.
This is the apartment he bought for Tang Yiyi. Although it is not a villa, it is also a high-end residence with two floors, and is decorated very exquisitely.
As soon as he entered, he called Tang Yiyi's name, "Yiyi, where are you?"
He searched upstairs and downstairs, and finally found Tang Yiyi in the bathroom. She was lying in the bathtub, about to cut her wrists with a knife in her hand.
Chen Junjie quickly knocked the knife out of her hand, and regardless of her being soaked, he hugged her in his arms, "Why are you so stupid?"
Tang Yiyi's silk pajamas had become transparent due to being soaked in water. Her tearful face made Chen Junjie feel so vulnerable. "Yiyi, how could you bear to leave me?"
"Brother Junjie, I really feel like I shouldn't be alive in this world. I don't have a father or a mother, and I don't even have children. Even if I die, no one will be sad."
Tang Yiyi looked so helpless, with tears sliding down her pale little face, which made Chen Junjie feel distressed.
"Yiyi, I know you've suffered a lot in the past. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you'll have everything. Children, a husband, a family, I'll give you everything."
