Chapter 63: Jiang Yundu: Come on, let's hurt each other!
"Qingbao, would you like to go see Mommy with Sister-in-law? You should call her Aunt!" Chu Wanning asked, holding five-year-old Lu by one hand while her other hand was held by three-year-old Lu. "And what about you, Hubby? Do you have time later?"
"Yes!"
"I do!"
Well, at least they still had some brotherly telepathy!
"Sister-in-law, Aunt must be a very pretty aunt too, right?" Lu Siqing asked, tilting his small head.
Chu Wanning had to agree with that. Mommy was indeed gorgeous, and she had a handsome dad as well, which meant her own breathtaking looks ran in the family!
Ahem!
Chu Wanning gave a light cough. Where had her thoughts just wandered off to?
"Yes, Aunt is just as pretty as Sister-in-law!"
"I like Aunt! I look good too, so Aunt will definitely like me!" Lu Siqing was completely immersed in praising himself and others, entirely oblivious to the contemptuous glance Lu Siyan was casting his way.
*Sigh*, this younger brother of his really wanted to rely on his face to make a living in the future. But first, he'd have to find someone like his own wife—after all, his wife gave him pocket money from time to time!
At this thought, Lu Siyan curved his lips and pulled Chu Wanning directly into his arms, not forgetting to tell Lu Siqing, "Your sister-in-law woke up early this morning and needs to sleep for a bit. Go play by yourself!"
Lu Siqing—unwilling, yet wanting Sister-in-law to sleep: "..."
Chu Wanning—fully awake and completely devoid of any sleepiness: "..."
Fine, whatever Hubby says goes!
She smoothly leaned against the man's shoulder.
Unexpectedly, she actually ended up dozing off for a little while.
It wasn't until the car came to a smooth stop that she leisurely opened her eyes.
"Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Chu Wanning shook her head.
"I'll carry you down."
Just as she was about to refuse, he swept her up horizontally in his arms!
The little bun on the other side wasn't idle either, quickly grabbing his bag and hurrying to keep up. His little legs might be short, but he could scamper fast!
"Hubby, you're going to turn me into a useless person. Put me down at the entrance!"
"How could anything related to Lu Siyan ever become useless, hmm? Besides, you're my person!"
Chu Wanning was utterly speechless and gave him a thumbs-up!
Her hubby was truly extraordinary, as expected!
That reply was simply top-notch!
Who was he even praising anyway?
Yet, Lu Siyan obediently put Chu Wanning down.
When it came to his wife's words, obedience was mandatory!
As soon as they stepped inside, Chu Xi was unexpectedly sitting in the living room.
"Sister-in-law, is this the pretty aunt? Is the one next to her the handsome uncle?"
"That would make one your mommy, and the other your daddy!"
"Sister-in-law, so that's where the source of your good looks comes from!"
Lu Siqing felt his deduction was flawless.
Thus, the pint-sized social butterfly went online once again.
Pitter-patter, he trotted over, extended his little hand, and greeted them like a gentleman.
"Hello, pretty aunt, I am Lu Siqing, Sister-in-law's younger brother!"
"Hello, handsome uncle!"
Chu Xi burst out laughing.
"Oh my, Ningbao, this little child is too adorable. Mommy loves him so much!"
Qin Sikai, sitting beside her, never failed to drop a bombshell.
"Xixi, if you like him, we can always have another one!"
Silence descended upon the entire room!
It was Lu Siqing who broke the quietness!
"I support this! That way I can be an older brother, yay! Have one, Auntie. Look, my brother and I are exactly 21 years old apart. Wow! If you get pregnant this year and have the baby next year, then he and Sister-in-law will also be 21 years apart! This destiny is simply amazing!"
Lu Siyan: "..." Why must he have such an attention-seeking younger brother?
Chu Wanning: "..." It sounded oddly logical, a well-reasoned analysis!
Chu Xi's face turned completely red, while Qin Sikai calmly began pondering the feasibility of the idea.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Lu Siqing continued, "Am I wrong?"
"Right! I will discuss it with your aunt!" Qin Sikai immediately replied.
"Uncle, keep it up! I'm rooting for you!"
He even struck an encouraging pose, cute and milky!
Chu Xi was amused by him all over again!
Watching this scene, Chu Wanning thought her prospective dad was making great progress!
Well, of course; that was his white moonlight after all. When a white moonlight launched a fierce offensive, there was simply no stopping it!
She gave her heartfelt approval and support.
For star-crossed lovers to finally tie the knot was truly a fairy-tale ending.
Chu Wanning and the others had lunch there, checked Chu Xi's health, gave Qin Sikai a few reminders, and then left!
Qin Sikai was overjoyed, feeling that his daughter was practically sent to assist him, and had even entrusted him with the task of giving massages!
Chu Wanning had also asked Uncle A to prepare a guest room for her prospective dad, and the rest would depend entirely on his own continued efforts!
She hoped to attend her mom and dad's wedding soon!
At the He Residence.
Sun Qingqing nagged and scolded He Xiang the entire way back.
"You really are a good-for-nothing just like your sister, unable to handle even a little boy!"
"What are you crying for? You even made Mom think you were beaten up and misunderstand them!"
"You usually manage to fleece people a bit, after all, the people at your school all come from families with no shortage of money!"
"And now look, you've provoked someone you shouldn't have. Let's see if your dad beats you when we get home!"
Upon hearing that her father would beat her, He Xiang could no longer hold it in!
"It was obviously Mom who told me to go, and now that something went wrong, you're blaming me!"
"I'm going to tell Dad that Mom is always framing me!"
Sun Qingqing, who was driving, flew into a rage instantly!
"You money-losing asset, how dare you go snitch to your old man? If you and your sister had even a fraction of your mother's methods, you'd be able to marry someone like your dad!"
"You really need to learn a thing or two from your Aunt He Jiaying. If she hadn't married into the Jiang family, our He family wouldn't be where it is today!"
Ever since she was old enough to understand, her mother had been instilling these ideas into her mind, constantly scheming about how to hook men—and she was only six years old!
He Meng had suffered deeply from this poisoned mindset and ultimately destroyed herself.
He Xiang utterly loathed her mother!
A sudden thought flashed through her mind: making her mother disappear. As long as she vanished, there would no longer be anyone constantly nagging her!
Thinking thus, she actually put it into action!
Without considering the consequences at all.
Sitting in the safety seat in the back row, she unbuckled her seatbelt, reached forward from behind, and grabbed Sun Qingqing by the throat.
Sun Qingqing, currently driving, instinctively reached back with both hands to fight off those small hands.
Yet, a person consumed by fury possessed immense strength, no matter how young they were.
No matter how desperately she struggled, He Xiang refused to let go.
Meanwhile, the uncontrolled car happened to cross paths with a large truck coming out from a side road, and the outcome was predictable.
Three or four kilometers away from home, a traffic accident occurred.
The truck driver hurriedly dialed an emergency hotline. The car had swerved uncontrollably straight toward him, and though he was entirely innocent, physics made it impossible to brake in time due to momentum.
By the time the ambulance arrived, there were no longer any vital signs.
Right up until her death, Sun Qingqing could never understand why her own biological daughter had dealt her a fatal blow!
The He family only learned the news through a police notification, but no one had the bandwidth to care about the mother and daughter.
The He family was currently in desperate straits, with scandals flying everywhere, and both the police and tax authorities knocking on their door.
In the end, it was He Jiaying who handled the aftermath.
By the time the news reached Chu Wanning's ears, several days had already passed.
Regarding this, she had nothing to say; you reap what you sow.
With the He family forced to reach out for help, their facade was thoroughly exposed.
Following the clues, Lu Dong and his men uncovered traces of overseas forces, which shockingly turned out to be in cahoots with the faction supporting Lu Shaoheng.
Thus, the He family had lost the last bit of value as bait, so those who belonged in prison went to prison, and those who deserved punishment could not escape it.
As for He Jiaying, she stubbornly insisted on divorcing Jiang Haokun, on the sole condition that it wouldn't affect her son, Jiang Yundu.
She had indeed initially committed wrongful acts under coercion, but wrong was wrong; while the law might not sentence her, her conscience could never find peace.
Leaving was the best possible outcome.
Jiang Yundu's attitude remained indifferent; he hoped his mother had truly turned over a new leaf this time! Being muddle-headed harmed both oneself and others, but she would always be his mother, and regardless of her relationship with the Jiang family, the filial duties he ought to fulfill would never decrease.
With this, the poisoning incident instigated by the He family finally came to an end.
Elder Jiang was also discharged from the hospital after recuperation, and he pampered Chu Wanning as if she were his very own biological granddaughter!
He would often mutter about how useless Jiang Yundu was for failing to marry such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law as Ning girl.
At such times, Jiang Yundu would deliver a fatal counter-blow.
"You're one to talk, Grandpa—you don't have a grandson as capable as Lu Siyan either!"
Go on then, let's inflict mutual damage!
