Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Painful Past (3) Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Painful Past (3) Mr. Lin’s attitude was tough, and Ji Yiyun’s complexion suddenly turned ashen. Seeing that she couldn’t get any satisfaction here, she stood up and left again.

“Do you think she’ll come back?” Tang Biquin was somewhat uneasy.

“Don’t worry, no matter how many times she comes, she won’t be able to split the inheritance,” said Mr. Lin.

However, after only a few days, Ji Yiyun returned.

This time, her target was no longer the inheritance, but the three children.

“Whatever you say, I am the children’s aunt. After Ji Yanli passed away, it’s only right that I take care of them. I’m going to trouble you to change the children’s guardianship,” Ji Yiyun said, her expression composed as she casually crossed one leg over the other.

“You’ve never taken care of these children for a day, not even sending a gift, and now you tell me you want their guardianship?” Tang Biquin’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her.

“I’ve really been too busy over the years to find any time to visit them, but I’ll definitely take good care of them from now on,” Ji Yiyun said.

Tang Biquin had heard about the situation in Ji Yanli’s family from her daughter and knew that the relationship with this sister was not good, so she didn’t believe a word that Ji Yiyun said.

“We cannot give you the guardianship; we will take care of the children ourselves,” Tang Biquin said coldly.

They were all Lin Xu’s children, and she wanted to take care of them herself, watching them grow up.

“I originally wanted to discuss this with you amicably, after all, the lawyer said if it went to court, I have a very high chance of winning,” Ji Yiyun sneered.

Tang Biquin’s complexion abruptly darkened.

Ji Yiyun stood up and leisurely straightened her clothes, “I don’t want this to get ugly, so think it over carefully. I’ll wait for your answer.”

Watching Ji Yiyun’s retreating figure, Tang Biquin and Mr. Lin’s faces turned red and white by turns and it took a good while for them to recover.

“If she wants a lawsuit, then I’ll see it through to the end. Just so happens I know a few lawyer friends, I’ll call one right now,” Mr. Lin said, anger on his face as he made the call.

Neither side had any room for negotiation, and the lawsuit over the children’s guardianship began.

It went back and forth for a month or two.

However, Tang Biquin never imagined that they would actually lose.

Ji Yiyun looked at the verdict, laughed heartily, and was so thrilled she could hardly contain herself, as if what she got wasn’t the guardianship but a fortune of hundreds of millions.

Tang Biquin’s face was ugly to the extreme; that night, she tossed and turned, hardly able to sleep a wink.

Before she could come up with any way to keep the children, she got up the next day to find Ji Yiyun had already brought people over.

“This must be Lanyue, right? Really cute,” Ji Yiyun said with a smile as she took Ji Lanyue from Mr. Lin’s arms.

“What are you doing?” Mr. Lin made a move to snatch the child back.

Ji Yiyun immediately handed Ji Lanyue to the man behind her, chuckling, “You haven’t forgotten that the guardianship is with me now, have you? I’m of course here to take them back to my place.”

She stepped forward and pulled Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu, who were hiding behind Tang Biquin, “Come on, let’s go home with auntie.”

“I won’t go, I want to stay with grandma and grandpa,” Ji Tingyang struggled against her hold.

“We don’t want to live with you, give me my sister back!” Ji Zeqiu opened his mouth and bit down hard on Ji Yiyun’s hand.

Ji Yiyun gasped in pain and quickly retracted her hand, seeing the deep teeth marks, her face turned a shade uglier, and she slapped Ji Zeqiu across the face.

However, Ji Zeqiu raised his hand just in time, and the slap landed on the back of his hand, turning it bright red.

Seeing this, Tang Biquin immediately went over to protect Ji Zeqiu in her arms, “Why are you hitting the child!”

Ji Tingyang also kicked Ji Yiyun.

“Who let him bite me, such a small child, always biting or hitting people. Sooner or later, they’ll be spoiled by you,” Ji Yiyun said, her indifferent expression fading to reveal impatience.

No longer maintaining her previously pleasant demeanor, she stepped forward and pulled the brothers by the hand, heading outside. “Come home with me.”

“They don’t want to go with you. Let go of them, or I’ll call the police and say you’re kidnapping,” Tang Biquin intercepted Ji Yiyun.

“Oh really? Then let the police decide who’s the kidnapper, you or me, the one with custody rights?” Ji Yiyun said with a cold look.

Hearing this, Tang Biquin was momentarily stunned.

In the end, Ji Yiyun still managed to take the three grandchildren away.

Tang Biquin sat heavily on the ground, tears falling without warning, her chest feeling as if pierced by needles, a dense and numbing pain surging through her.

Covering her pale cheeks, she couldn’t hold back anymore and broke into loud sobs.

She was really useless.

She failed to protect not only her daughter but also her daughter’s children.

Mr. Lin went over, took Tang Biquin into his arms, and gently stroked her back, “Don’t worry, we’ll continue to find a lawyer. No matter how many lawsuits we have to fight, how much money it costs, we will get the children’s custody back.”

…

In a car rushing down the road, Ji Zeqiu was clawing at the window, crying his eyes out.

The crying woke up Ji Lanyue, who was asleep; seemingly affected by her brother’s cries, she also started to bawl loudly.

Although Ji Tingyang did not cry out loud like his younger siblings, he also shed silent tears.

The sharp cries of the children were maddening, like a devil’s shriek in one’s ears, making Ji Yiyun irritated. Pinching the bridge of her nose, she scolded coldly, “Shut up! If you cry again, I’ll throw you out of the car and let someone kidnap you.”

Scared stiff by her words, Ji Zeqiu’s crying stopped abruptly.

This aunt was simply too mean, and she even hit others.

She might truly toss him out of the car.

Ji Zeqiu quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make another sound, yet tears continued to flow from his eyes.

Ji Zeqiu became quiet, but Ji Lanyue, who couldn’t understand, continued to cry.

Ji Yiyun handed her over to Ji Tingyang, speaking with irritation, “Pacify her. If she keeps crying, I’ll throw all three of you out of the car.”

Ji Tingyang used his sleeve to wipe the snot and tears from his sister’s face and extended a finger for her to hold onto.

The next second, Ji Lanyue put his finger in her mouth and started to suck on it, gradually stopping her crying.

The car became quiet, and Ji Yiyun’s face finally eased a bit.

The vehicle drove steadily along the road, and the three exhausted children soon fell asleep in the car.

When Ji Tingyang and the others woke up again, they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

A slight unease rose in the hearts of the two brothers as they held each other’s hands.

“Aunt, where is this?” Ji Tingyang asked tentatively.

“This is my house. From now on, you three siblings will live here with me, and we’ll never go back to that villa again,” Ji Yiyun said.
