Director Zhang coughed twice, signaling the security personnel to help him up, and then pretended to criticize Guan Lian a few times.
"Comrade Guan, you should sit down and talk things over. How could you resort to violence? That's wrong."
"I'm sorry, Director, he slandered me, and I couldn't help but take action."
Chen Wei was still cursing. The security guards stood between him and Guan Lian. They didn't expect that the seemingly gentle Guan Lian would be so ruthless when she got angry. And then this guy was saying, "If she pounces on me again later, should we stop her or not?"
Before they could figure it out, a cry suddenly came from outside the guardhouse. The group looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Guan Lian's youngest son.
Chen Junsheng was initially delighted to see his father arrive, but then he felt aggrieved because his brother seemed unwilling to let their father come and had just slapped him.
She stood outside, covering her face, wanting to hear what her parents would say.
He wanted to stay with his mother, but he also wanted his parents to live together, and ideally, he could go back home.
Dad didn't do it on purpose. As long as he comes to apologize this time and promises to treat Mom well in the future, Grandma will also treat Mom well in the future.
Holding his breath, he hid outside the window, peering in with his eyes, but all he saw was his mother suddenly lunge forward and slap his father. He was short, and for a moment he only saw his mother's ashen face.
His mother's distorted appearance was completely different from her usual kind and gentle demeanor, which startled him.
Why has Mom become like my brother, so fierce? Mom and my brother never used to hit anyone.
Chen Junsheng watched his father from outside, unable to retaliate at all. His mother seemed to have gone mad, her face contorted with rage, constantly slapping his father and scratching his face.
He wanted them to stop fighting, but they just stood there dumbfounded outside the window.
When the noise inside stopped, he realized that, for some reason, the slap his brother had given him seemed to hurt even more.
Guan Lian was a little stunned when she saw her son. Shouldn't he be at school at this time? What is he doing here?
"...Junsheng?"
Thinking that he was frightened by seeing his parents fighting, Song Qing noticed how cold it was outside and how red his hands and face looked from the cold, so she quickly pulled him inside to comfort him.
When the others came in, they noticed that half of his face was swollen, and it looked like a handprint. Song Qing was stunned and looked up at Guan Lian.
Guan Lian couldn't care less about Chen Wei at this moment; she was eager to see what was wrong with her son's face. Chen Junsheng cried and backed away, brushing his mother's hand away.
"...What happened to your face?"
Overwhelmed by a flood of grievances, Chen Junsheng cried for a while before walking to his father's side.
Chen Wei felt ashamed and furious that the woman had hit him, but he had no chance of winning here, so he clenched his fist tightly.
Seeing his youngest son walk up to him, he suddenly felt a surge of relief; only his youngest son still cared about him.
That crazy woman sees him like an enemy, and his eldest son sees him like an enemy too. Yesterday, he actually left his father out in the freezing cold.
To be honest, if it weren't for his youngest son finding a way, he wouldn't have been able to find this place.
Chen Wei felt increasingly heartbroken. He had worked so hard in that family for so many years, yet no one paid any attention to him.
"……dad"
"Oh, it's all my fault. I can't give you a complete family. You've suffered."
It's all the adults' fault, yet they're making a little kid like him bear the burden.
Guan Lian frowned as she looked at the scene of deep affection between father and son, feeling quite surprised. She wondered why she had never noticed before that the two had such a good relationship.
Chen Wei has been a hands-off manager at home for so many years, never worrying about anything around the house. Sometimes, when he's in a good mood, he's even willing to take his son out to eat.
Guan Lian cares for her two sons, but she also keeps a close eye on them, unlike Chen Wei, who has never lost his temper with them and whose lavish meals every few months make Chen Junsheng think his father is particularly generous.
As for her mother-in-law, she was different from when she first married into the family. Chen Junliang had seen his grandmother making all sorts of veiled insults at home when he was a child.
After his younger brother was born, no one helped his mother take care of him, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and help out.
A few years later, the mother treated them like they didn't exist, and the two sides stopped arguing at home, each minding their own business.
Her mother-in-law also realized that she was getting old and wanted her two grandsons to take care of her and be filial to her in the future, but the older grandson obviously held a grudge against what she had done in the past, and the younger grandson was too young.
Naturally, she began to bribe him. Sometimes, when she came back from playing cards, she would secretly give him a piece or two of pastry left in her pocket.
Chen Junsheng only thought that his grandmother was good to him, unaware that these pastries were leftovers from what she bought and ate with others.
As for his parents' decision to divorce, he couldn't understand why they had to get divorced.
Life was going perfectly fine.
He didn't believe what his parents and grandmother said, but after listening to them talk about it for a long time, a seed of doubt was eventually planted in his heart.
"Come here, young man."
Chen Junsheng shook his head, crying, placed his hand on his father's arm, looked at his mother, and said, "I want to go back."
"What's wrong with you, child? Your mother went through so much trouble to bring you out. Going back? What would we do back there?"
Aunt Tian thought the child was frightened by seeing his parents fighting and wanted to pull him away, but Chen Jingsheng shook his head.
My older brother has changed since he beat his mother; he doesn't want to be here anymore.
I want to go back.
"You kid"
Guan Lian: "Come here, young master."
“Look at you, you haven’t even thought about what your two children want. All they want is a complete family, and he’s so young.”
Chen Wei's heart felt like it was soaking in acidic water, and he looked at Chen Junsheng with exceptional kindness at this moment.
"I won't hold it against you for hitting me, and I won't hold it against you for what happened before. Guan Lian, think about it carefully. Is it really necessary to let two children be homeless over something like this? How can you face them?"
His words sound just like those of a good father who cares about his child.
Guan Lian sneered, grabbed Chen Junsheng's hand, and pulled him outside, saying, "Let's go home."
Chen Wei tried to get up and chase after them, but his tailbone and face were burning with pain, and he couldn't stand up for a moment. By the time he staggered to the door, they were long gone.
