Chapter 12 How Could You Hit Me on The Face
- I tried to explain, “Aunt......”
- “Who are you calling aunt? Know your place before you try to get all friendly with us!” She interrupted me once again.
- I was losing my patience as I was being polite to her simply because she was an elder, not because I wanted to get on their good side for my own profit.
- If she wouldn't let me explain, then I wouldn't. She could think of it however she liked.
- “Tell me, is this child Chenfeng's?” She asked again.
- “The child is my own.” I said ambiguously. With her attitude like that, I wouldn't tell her even if I knew anyway.
- “So, you won't tell me, eh? In that case, I'll take the child for a blood test to confirm it then.”
- She waved at the driver, and he came over to pick Xiaoyang up. Xiaoyang got scared and hid behind me.
- “Don't you touch my child!” I guarded my son.
- When the driver tried to snatch him away from me, I pointed at him and said, “This is Mu Chenfeng's son! If you scare him, Chief won't forgive you!”
- The driver hesitated upon hearing that.
- “Grab the child! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!” The old lady said.
- With the support of the old lady, the driver got bolder and tried to snatch Xiaoyang from my embrace.
- Xiaoyang cried in fear, and my heart ached to see him like this.
- I bent over to protect Xiaoyang as if I was defending him with my life, and the man couldn't take him from me. The old lady saw that he still hadn't gotten hold of my child and scolded him for being useless. She then told him to use whatever means necessary.
- He grabbed my hair and yanked me forcefully towards the pool, so I let go of Xiaoyang in fear of hurting him. He then kicked me into the pool, and my head landed hard on the tiles beside the pool.
- I blacked out, and found myself lying on a bench by the pool when I woke up. Both the old lady and Xiaoyang were gone.
- When I saw that my son was gone and I got up to chase after them, two of the maids held me back and told me that they'd already informed the young master. I had no choice but to wait as I knew I couldn't catch up to them now anyway.
- Shortly after, Mu Chenfeng returned. He looked very angry and was emanating a murderous aura. My tears started falling as soon as I saw him.
- He told me not to worry and stood aside as he made a phone call. After ending the call, he came over to take me to the hospital.
- I told him that my injury wasn't serious and that I wanted to go look for my son, but he said he would take care of my son and wanted me to go to the hospital first.
- I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere while my son was missing. He didn't force me any further either, and just instructed the maid to spray some medicine on my wound.
- About another half an hour later, a car arrived. Jiang Xuanlong got out of the car and dragged a man out of it before tossing him in front of us. That man was the old lady's driver from earlier.
- “Chief......”
- Mu Chenfeng didn't say a word as he picked up the wooden chair next to him and smashed it on the driver. The driver kept begging for forgiveness but Mu Chenfeng didn't seem to hear him as he kept hitting him until the chair broke into pieces. He tossed the leg of the chair aside.
- “You come into my house, hit my woman and steal my child?! Do you have a death wish, you piece of shit?!” Mu Chenfeng's voice sounded cold.
- “Chief, please spare me! It was madam's orders......”
- “So, you thought you could disrespect me just because you have her support?!” Mu Chenfeng kicked him again.
- “Chief......”
- “Raise your head.”
- The driver had no choice but to do as told.
- “Do you see this woman? This is my woman! If you dare touch her ever again, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death, got it?!” Mu Chenfeng said.
- “Got it, I won't dare do it again!” the driver nodded.
- “Kowtow and beg for her forgiveness. Keep doing so until she's satisfied.” Mu Chenfeng said coldly.
- The driver kept banging his head on the ground before me, begging for me to forgive him.
- I told him that I would only forgive him if he brought my child back to me, but he went silent.
- Mu Chenfeng kicked him again, “You owe me an arm for scaring my kid, and a leg for scaring my woman. I'll put those on your tab for now. Tell me, where is my child?!”
- The driver kept quiet, and Mu Chenfeng told Jiang Xuanlong, “Chop one of his arms off first.”
- Jiang Xuanlong rushed over with a machete in his hand. The driver went pale, “Please spare me, Chief! Madam has hidden the boy in the room that belonged to the young mistress!”
- Mu Chenfeng motioned to Jiang Xuanlong's men, “Bring him into the car and wait for me.”
- After the driver was taken away, Mu Chenfeng sat beside me and comforted me gently, “It'll be alright, they won't hurt the child. I guarantee that he will be fine.”
- “But that's my son! What right did they have to take him from me?!” I said while sobbing as I couldn't control myself the moment, he mentioned my son.
- Mu Chenfeng reached out his hand and gently stroked my hair, “If you want to avoid something like this from happening again in the future, how about you marry me? That way, you'd become a part of the Mu family and wouldn't have to be bullied by these people beneath you anymore. The child would also have a nice home and can receive better education as well.”
- That proposal was too sudden and caught me off guard. Marrying him? Was he joking?
