Chapter 17: His Bloodied Face Relaxed

‘What is Su Zhi’en saying?’ Jiang Chen felt her request was utterly unbelievable.

“I want my child back! You can hate and resent me all you want, Jiang Chen, even if you want me to die. Just treat Jiang Chen well because he is your biological son, and let him live a good life. He’s just an innocent child. You can’t be so cold-blooded to him.”

At this point, Su Zhi’en suddenly opened her bloodshot eyes. She resembled a trapped animal that was staring at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter. “Do you know what nonsense you’re spouting? Who would dare treat Jiang Wei poorly?”

“Then why did you let that b*tch near Jiang Wei? Do you know how she treats him? She violently pried at Jiang Wei’s fingers and even pinched his arm. Jiang Wei is only five years old.

“I carried him in my womb for ten months. I almost gave my life to give birth to him. If you don’t take care of him, then I will. I beg you to give him back to me! I promise to raise him well and never get in the way of the Jiang family, okay?”

Su Zhi’en’s body trembled. She couldn’t care less about the pain in her body, and she struggled to sit up. She had trouble breathing because of the pain in her wrist. Back then, Su Zhi’en hesitated to leave Jiang Wei behind. If she had known that Jiang Wei would end up like this and be abused, Su Zhi’en would have taken Jiang Wei with her.

However, when Jiang Chen heard Su Zhi’en’s words, not only did he not believe her, but he also pushed her away. His face was full of disgust and hatred. “I want to know what you honestly think. Do you think you can persuade the Jiang family to chase Tong Jingxian away so that you can reclaim your position as Madam Jiang? In your dreams!”

“Chase Tong Jingxian away?” Su Zhi’en looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

“Isn’t that right? You’re intentionally blaming Tong Jingxian for abusing Jiang Wei so that you can reclaim him for yourself. Now you’re threatening me by slitting your wrists and playing a trick on me? Do you think I’m a fool, Su Zhi’en?” Jiang Chen looked at Su Zhi’en. He looked as though he couldn’t bear to look at her any longer.

Su Zhi’en suddenly smiled—it was a sad and absurd kind of smile. ‘Tong Jingxian is perfect, pure, and as flawless as the moonlit skies in Jiang Chen’s eyes. But she is an unbearable existence in my eyes. Tong Jingxian only knew how to play tricks!’

Su Zhi’en looked elsewhere and suddenly stood up from the ground. Jiang Chen didn’t even have time to react. Jiang Chen didn’t expect her to grab something and stab him. Jiang Chen’s pupils constricted.

“Oh, how bittersweet… Yes, Jiang Chen, I’ll take you down with me. I’m willing to exchange my life for my son’s. I want you never to let that woman touch my son! I hope you still… have some conscience left… Don’t worry. I wouldn’t want to be Madam Jiang again, even if I was reincarnated.

Su Zhi’en enunciated each word with blood in her mouth as she looked at Jiang Chen. Her eyes seemed to have been filled with blood. She had cursed herself and the others in the cabin so ruthlessly. The people who looked at her felt a chill run down their spines.

Jiang Chen’s face was pale as his heart began to throb uncontrollably in pain. He clenched his fists, and for the first time, he didn’t dare to look into such a pair of eyes. ‘Su Zhi’en must’ve gone crazy! Does she know what she’s doing?!’

Jiang Chen rushed over and held Su Zhi’en. He saw that the thing that she had stabbed him with was a piece of broken glass. Jiang Chen did not know how deep the piece of glass went. He did not dare to touch the glass, nor did he dare to pull it out.

“Su Zhi’en, you’re f*cking insane! I should have your brain examined!” Jiang Chen’s head was about to explode. He shouted at the bodyguards, who did not dare to come in. “Go and get a first aid kit, quickly!” 

There was also another doctor on board the boat. Jiang Chen was about to lose his mind. He had never seen such a crazy woman.

From the moment Jiang Chen and Su Zhi’en got married, she had given Jiang Chen the impression that she was submissive. But now, Su Zhi’en was constantly keeping Jiang Chen on his toes. Just because of what he had previously said to Su Zhi’en, it seemed as though she no longer cared about her life. However, Jiang Chen isn’t a fool. His bloodied face began to show signs of relaxing up.

When Su Zhi’en found out about Tong Jingxian’s abusive behavior, Tong Jingxian had already thought of dealing with that situation. Tong Jingxian knew very well that since Su Zhi’en had caught her red-handed, Su Zhi’en would not let it go that easily. So Tong Jingxian took the initiative and immediately brought Jiang Wei to his father to admit her mistake.

Sure enough, Jiang Chen did not blame her. When Tong Jingxian had told him that she had accidentally hurt Jiang Wei, he only glanced at Jiang Wei’s hands. Seeing that Jiang Wei did not react to the bruises on his hands, Jiang Chen let Tong Jingxian off the hook.

Tong Jingxian had pretended to be a good wife and a good mother for five years, and she has been very successful thus far. This made Tong Jingxian confident in herself. Tong Jingxian was still living comfortably, especially when she heard that Jiang Chen didn’t intend to see Su Zhi’en even though she was on a hunger strike. Tong Jingxian became even happier.

‘Su Zhi’en, do you think you can compete with me?’ 

Tong Jingxian heard that Su Zhi’en had committed suicide only when night fell did her expression change slightly. 

‘Su Zhi’en did all that just to lure Jiang Chen over? Was she honestly that desperate?’

The more Tong Jingxian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She was just about to go over to take a look when she saw that a bodyguard had already arrived. “Miss Tong, Director Jiang is asking for you..”
