"Daddy?"Xiaobao came out of the bedroom after Jin Fengchen left.He was only half-awake and was holding a fluffy toy. Watching Jin Fengchen walking away with his suitcase, Xiaobao was confused, and his soft voice could melt anyone's heart.But Jin Fengchen didn't hear him. He marched off without looking back.Frowning, Xiaobao came down the stairs and asked Mrs. Jin, "Grandma, where is Daddy going?"There was an anxious look in his big eyes."He has to go somewhere for a few days, but he'll be back soon. Don't worry. You'll see Daddy again on the day of your uncle's engagement party."Mrs. Jin didn't tell Xiaobao the truth. Instead, she held him in her arms and gave him a vague explanation.The three of them all felt uneasy as they watched Jin Fengchen walk away.They could only pray that nothing would happen to him.In a basement in southern France, Jiang Nuannuan was curled up on the cold floor with chains around her wrists and ankles.The basement was poorly ventilated a
Jin Fengchen would never regret it even if he had to kill her with his own hands.Grinding his teeth, he looked Jiang Nuannuan up and down repeatedly, as if he was skinning her with the sharp look in his eyes. If he could, he would cut her into little pieces.Clenching his fists, Jin Fengchen started talking, and his deep voice sounded rather eerie in the basement."Jiang Nuannuan, you're very hard to find!"His cold voice reminded her of the Last Judgment, and it almost drove her to a nervous breakdown.She had been living like a fugitive for the past few years.She had vivid memories of how terrifying Jin Fengchen had been. In order to find her, he had practically turned the world upside down."This man is like the devil!"All calmness had left her, and she could smell death.Jiang Nuannuan was so frightened that her cheeks were streaked with tears. She scrambled toward Jin Fengchen on all fours and grabbed the leg of his trousers with her dirty, scrawny fingers.Raising he
Men like these were able to live like normal people after Jin Fengchen took them under his wing, so naturally, they became very loyal to him.Moreover, with everything they had seen in their previous profession, they were much better at handling such things.After hearing the conversation between Jin Fengchen and Jiang Nuannuan, they had pretty much figured out what had happened to the pregnant woman.Therefore, they had no sympathy for Jiang Nuannuan whatsoever.Shortly after Jin Fengchen left the basement, the sound of a woman screaming rang out behind him, and it seemed to last forever.However, it didn't assuage his anger at all."No pain Jiang Nuannuan suffers is going to bring Sese back."She's a murderer, and she deserves it!"Before long, the screaming stopped.Gu Nian came out afterward and reported to Jin Fengchen."Young Master, Jiang Nuannuan has passed out."Jin Fengchen didn't seem disturbed and only said coldly, "Wake her up with cold water and find her a doct
The Qin Family had arrived in the lounge as well.Xiaobao was there with them because he was still too young to entertain guests outside.Moreover, Old Master Qin adored him and was always in a good mood when the boy was around.Therefore, Mrs. Jin had left her grandson with her father.Xiaobao had indeed made the old man very happy.However, as more guests arrived, Jin Fengchen still didn't show up.Xiaobao looked anxious and kept looking out of the window.Old Master Qin doted on his great-grandson, so he asked mildly, "Xiaobao, what's wrong?"Wringing his hands, Xiaobao turned around and answered, "Daddy still isn't here yet."The old man was baffled. He then turned to his sons and grandsons, asking them, "Has Fengchen still not arrived?"Jin Fengchen's oldest uncle suppressed his anxiety and replied in a low voice, "He said he would be here soon. I think he's caught up in traffic or something."Looking at his poor great-grandson, Old Master Qin took his little hand and s
The glass fell with a cracking sound, scattering shards everywhere.But Jin Fengchen didn't seem to sense that at all because he was staring at the woman who had just walked in and had forgotten to blink.The look in his eyes was a mixture of pain, astonishment, delight, and disbelief.He had clenched his fists and was trembling slightly.Even Old Master Qin had noticed it. Jin Fengchen had always been composed, and his grandfather had never seen him as agitated as this.The emotions were simply too intense to go unnoticed.Surprised, Old Master Qin followed the direction of Jin Fengchen's gaze, and the look on his face changed drastically as well."Is that..."Can it be just a coincidence? Can two unrelated people look so alike?"Meanwhile, Jin Fengyao, who had been talking to some guests, also sensed the change in the mood.He turned his head toward the entrance, and the smile froze on his face. With a shocked expression, he started looking for Song Qingwan everywhere."Wa
Jiang Sese looked dumbfounded because she didn't think she had ever met this man before.However, she couldn't help feeling sorry for the man when she saw the affectionate look in his eyes.She could tell how much he loved his wife just by that look.However, none of that was relevant to her, for she believed that this was the first time she had met him.She had to admit that she was touched, but she still found it inappropriate to be embraced like this in public.Jiang Sese struggled and broke herself free from Jin Fengchen's arms. She then said politely, "Sir, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I don't know you, and we've never met before."Jin Fengchen couldn't believe those words. "How could she have forgotten me?"While he stood there in a daze, Xiaobao threw himself at Jiang Sese.Tears had welled up in his eyes, and he was choked with sobs. "Mommy, I'm Xiaobao. Have you forgotten about me? I've been waiting for you to come back for three years, and finally, her
However, Jin Fengchen was determined to keep her here. After all these years, he had finally seen her again, so of course, he wouldn't let her leave so easily."Sese, you can't leave me. I won't let you. Not in a million years."Fu Jingyun had had enough of Jin Fengchen's stubbornness and had to brush his hand off. He spoke through gritted teeth. "Mr. Jin, you've been pushing my limits. Sese is my wife, and you must acknowledge that. If you say anything inappropriate again, I won't be this polite. Now please get out of my way and let us leave.""What if I said no?"Jin Fengchen was equally agitated. The mood felt intense, as though a fight could break out at any moment.Both men were equally intimidating and imposing.Everyone held their breath and feared that they might be somehow involved if they weren't helpful enough.Seeing that a confrontation was about to break out, Master Old Qin came over to intervene."Fengchen, stop!"Hearing the authoritative voice, Jin Fengchen tu
A breeze swept the ground and rippled across the cold night air.Mrs. Jin raised her hand, indicating for the musicians to start playing.An elegant cello performance slowly filled the room, masking the somber mood.Song Qingwan and Jin Fengyao quickly returned to the main table after toasting their elders.Jin Fengchen kept glancing in the direction where Jiang Sese had left in with unreadable emotions fermenting in his dark pupils.Knowing the relationship between Jiang Sese and Jin Fengchen, Song Qingwan's family dared not to say anything.They lowered their gaze, looking conflicted.After seeing this, Old Qin coughed and raised his withered hand.He rapped the table in front of Jin Fengchen twice to draw his attention."What's wrong, Grandpa?" Jin Fengchen asked in a bitter voice, looking up.Old Qin pointed to Jin Fengyao and Song Qingwan, indicating for him to look in that direction. He quietly told him, "Fengchen, I hope you remember what I just told you. Don't ruin th
