Chapter 18: Disappear From My Sight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In an instant, Tong Jingxian’s hands and feet turned cold. The thing she was most afraid of had come to pass. For five years, she had always been by Jiang Chen’s side, as Madam Jiang. But this was the first time she had been brought to Jiang Chen in such an improper manner.

That night, the sea breeze was even colder than usual, sending chills down Tong Jingxian’s spine. With every step she took, she felt her heart skip a beat. Tong Jingxian looked at the man in front of her. At this moment, Jiang Chen was carefully examining Jiang Wei’s tiny hands. He was so meticulous that he didn’t even look past Jiang Wei’s fingernails.

“Jiang Chen, did you call for me?” Tong Jingxian’s heart began to throb erratically—endless panic spread through her. Tong Jingxian’s legs began to tremble, as she didn’t dare to approach Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen ignored Tong Jingxian as he examined Jiang Wei’s tiny hands. He then covered his son with a quilt so that Jiang Wei would not be exposed to the cold sea breeze.

Seeing this, Tong Jingxian trembled even more violently. “Jiang Chen, I—”

“Did you hurt him or not?” Jiang Chen looked up and immediately questioned Tong Jingxian.

Tong Jingxian looked at Jiang Chen’s face, and it was full of murderous intent. It seemed to resemble the cold sea breeze outside. Tong Jingxian couldn’t take it anymore. Her legs went weak as she kneeled in front of the door. She knew Jiang Chen too well.

“I’m so sorry, Jiang Chen, I was being impatient. I honestly didn’t do it on purpose, I—”

“So you admit it! Are you crazy, Tong Jingxian? Who gave you the right to touch my son?! I wouldn’t even do this to Jiang Wei. How dare you hurt him! Where did you get the guts to do this?!” At the end of his speech, Jiang Chen’s tone was cold, as though he wanted to skin Tong Jingxian alive. Jiang Chen’s glare resembled a demon that crawled out of hell.

Tong Jingxian immediately collapsed. Her entire body went limp, and she trembled uncontrollably. “I was wrong. I was truly wrong. I’ve never had a child of my own, so I would inevitably lose my temper when faced with Jiang Wei. It was unforgivable. Jiang Chen, I hope you can understand. Who…”

Even now, Tong Jingxian continued making excuses and whined about her grievances. Fortunately, she stopped herself before she finished her sentence. Otherwise, Jiang Chen might have killed her right then and there. The problem is, who hadn’t disciplined their child before? 

For some reason, Jiang Chen suddenly thought of the bloody scene. 

‘This was all for Jiang Wei. Su Zhi’en risked her life, and Tong Jingxian denies treating Jiang Wei poorly. Was it because Jiang Wei isn’t Tong Jingxian’s biological son? But no matter what, Tong Jingxian and I have been together for five years.’

The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the angrier he became—his eyes turned red. Looking at Tong Jingxian, who had been with him for five years, disappointment and disdain swept through his body. He picked up a glass cup next to him and threw it at Tong Jingxian.

“I don’t understand! Get lost! You’re not allowed to go anywhere near Jiang Wei from now on. You’re also not welcome in Fu Mansion anymore! I never want to see you again!” Fu Mansion was where Jiang Chen currently lives.

At this moment, Tong Jingxian felt as though she had been struck by lightning. Jiang Chen was trying to draw a line between them.

Tong Jingxian was utterly dumbfounded. She didn’t care about the glass of water that was thrown at her as she immediately crawled toward Jiang Chen. “No, Jiang Chen, you can’t do this. How can you chase me away? You know I love you. Have you forgotten what you said when you brought me back to the Jiang family home five years ago? Jiang Chen!”

Tong Jingxian’s screams echoed into the cold sea breeze, but all of this had nothing to do with Su Zhi’en. Extreme fatigue and excessive blood loss caused Su Zhi’en to be unconscious for the remainder of the night.

The following day, Su Zhi’en was awoken by the sun’s warmth. “You’re awake. How do you feel?” Su Zhi’en was a little surprised. 

There was someone beside her. She opened her eyes and was surprised by the person beside her. “Assistant Ming Ze?”

“Yes, many years have passed since we last met. It’s such an honor that Madam Su still remembers me.” The young man was wearing a white shirt, his face was clean and refined, and he wore a pair of dark-colored glasses. He looked like an ordinary person, but he was very organized. He was Jiang Chen’s assistant— Ming Ze.

Su Zhi’en smiled faintly. How could she not remember this Ming Ze? When Su Zhi’en got married, Jiang Chen left the very next day. Ming Ze helped to manage the Jiang family and Jiang Chen’s company. Su Zhi’en still remembered that she had always waited for news about Jiang Chen whenever Ming Ze came to visit.

Su Zhi’en then sat up straight. “What honor? It was all thanks to you that I lived a decent life in the past. Then why are you here now?”

“You were badly injured last night, and you seem to be doing fine in the cabin. I just came to check on your IV drip. How are you feeling now?” Ming Ze then thoughtfully poured Su Zhi’en a glass of water.

Su Zhi’en was a little embarrassed as she picked up the glass of water. “Sorry to trouble you, Ming Ze, but I’m fine. By the way, how is Jiang Wei doing? Did Jiang Chen talk to that woman? He…” As Su Zhi’en spoke of this, she looked a little anxious.

Ming Ze quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry, Madam Su, Director Jiang has already taken care of Young Master Jiang. Miss Tong is no longer allowed to get anywhere near Young Master Jiang. You can rest assured..”
