Chapter 20: She Was Finally Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Zhi’en squatted down in front of Jiang Wei, panting as she carefully took out the tinfoil inside the cigarette box. At first, Jiang Wei didn’t take this seriously, but he was still a child. He was still curious to see what Su Zhi’en was doing, so he looked at her with attentiveness.

“Have you ever done something like this before, Jiang Wei?”

Jiang Wei didn’t answer, nor did he respond. Because of his eccentric personality, he rarely spoke to people. When Su Zhi’en noticed this, she didn’t force him to reply. She slowly removed the tinfoil from the cigarette box and said, “Jiang Wei, look!”

Although Jiang Wei still didn’t speak, Su Zhi’en could still see his eyes light up. Su Zhi’en was extremely happy to see this. Jiang Chen had a novel reaction, and Su Zhi’en struck while the iron was hot and said, “You can try it too. We just need a few more pieces of tinfoil. Help Aunt Zhi’en find some more, and we can make the drone go even faster. What do you think?”

“Okay.” Jiang Wei finally responded. He took the cigarette box with his fair hands and squatted down to help Su Zhi’en. She peeked at her son from time to time. From her point of view, her son’s small face was as exquisite as a porcelain doll—precisely the same as Bai Yu’an.

Additionally, Su Zhi’en hoped that Jiang Wei would become much gentler when he became entirely focused. ‘I hope to make up for my past mistakes and that you could forgive me in the future.’ Su Zhi’en thought in her heart.

After about ten minutes, the mother and son finally modified the drone. “I hope that you can fly the drone higher after doing all that work.”

“Okay,” Jiang Wei responded again as his drone flew dozens of meters higher.

“You see? Aunt Zhi’en didn’t lie to you, right?” Su Zhi’en clapped her hands excitedly, trying to stimulate her son’s emotions. Jiang Wei was also delighted as the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen realized that Jiang Wei was missing, and this was what he saw when he found his son. Jiang Wei, who was usually cold and indifferent, actually had a smile on his face, and Su Zhi’en, who had reluctantly agreed not to interact with Jiang Wei, actually went back on her words.

Jiang Chen’s expression immediately became forbidding. “What are you doing?! Who allowed you to see Jiang Wei?” Jiang Chen said every word through his gritted teeth.

Su Zhi’en’s face immediately turned pale, and all of her enthusiasm seemed to have been extinguished by a tub of cold water. “I—”

“Are all my men dead?! Take Jiang Wei back inside and lock this woman up. No one is allowed to let Su Zhi’en out without my permission!” Jiang Chen didn’t give Su Zhi’en a chance to explain herself, nor did he want to hear her explanation. The bodyguards took Jiang Wei away as they held Su Zhi’en back.

Jiang Chen had already said that he wouldn’t allow Su Zhi’en to hurt Jiang Wei again, and Su Zhi’en had also reluctantly agreed to his request. Now that Su Zhi’en had gone back on her words, Jiang Chen felt as though he had been tricked again. Also, Jiang Wei had always been raised by him, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to touch Jiang Wei’s things.

Su Zhi’en was brought back to the cabin. This sudden change of events made Su Zhi’en confused. “Jiang Chen, listen to me. I have thought this through clearly. I can make up for my mistakes. I will never let him get hurt again. I can do it. Would you just trust me for once?!”

She had gotten along well with Jiang Wei just now. That was her opportunity to make things right with Jiang Wei, and she believed that she could get Jiang Wei’s forgiveness.

However, when Jiang Chen heard her words, he could only sneer. “How could you ever make it up to Jiang Wei? You faked your death for freedom and abandoned your family. What right do you have to try and make amends? Why didn’t you take a look at yourself when you lectured me? What makes us so different from each other?

“We have nothing more to discuss. I’ll remind you one last time. If you want your uncle’s family to be safe, you better behave yourself, or else…” Jiang Chen didn’t finish his sentence, leaving Su Zhi’en to imagine what he would do to her uncle’s family if she misbehaved.

In the end, Su Zhi’en was being locked up again. However, she wasn’t locked up for long because they soon reached the shore. “Miss Su, we’ve arrived, but we can’t take you to the Jiang family home today. I’ve already arranged a place for you to stay for the time being. The bodyguards will take you there.” It was Ming Ze who came to open the cabin door for her.

It didn’t matter if she was brought to the Jiang family home a day later because Su Zhi’en had yet to figure out how she would be able to face Old Master Jiang, who had treated her like his own daughter. She didn’t dare to imagine what it would be like to see Old Master Jiang again. He would be incredibly disappointed.

Su Zhi’en naturally had no right to say anything as she left with the bodyguards. After leaving for five years, she had finally returned to this country. Her feelings were conflicted.

Looking up, the outline of the city was still there. However, the high-rise buildings that rose from the ground and the hustle and bustle of the city were different from five years ago. So, Su Zhi’en felt unfamiliar.

Su Zhi’en was now back in Country B.

Su Zhi’en was taken to an apartment by the bodyguards. She did not know the exact location, however. She was unfamiliar with this city. What was familiar was the tightly locked apartment. Simply put, it was tightly locked to prevent Su Zhi’en from escaping..
