Chapter 64: Xiaxia is My Son!
When Su Chengjian rushed into the restaurant, Wen Nian was pestering Chi Xiasheng, asking him what had happened.
“What are you and Mom talking about? Do you have a little secret from me?”
Wen Nian tugged at his sleeve, looking at him with pleading eyes, which made his heart soften.
“No, Auntie Wen and I really have nothing to hide from you. It’s just that this matter is too troublesome to talk about, and she might have some scruples…”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by an angry voice. “Chi Xiasheng! You’re really here!”
Su Chengjian looked into his eyes, his own filled with rage.
“Did you know about my relationship with Wen Shu all along, and that’s why you got close to her early on, just waiting for today to take revenge on us?!”
When he had come to the villa to find Wen Shu before, he had seen Chi Xiasheng. At that time, he had found it a little strange. It wasn’t until he had gone to the beach to deal with Su Chimian’s matter last time that he had seen her standing with him.
Su Chengjian was used to conspiracy theories. In an instant, he had sorted out the whole matter.
It must be that Chi Xiasheng holds a grudge against me because of the kidnapping, and he somehow got news of Wen Shu, used her kindness to get close to her, and made her completely stand on his side, all for the purpose of finally taking revenge on me and preventing Mianmian from acknowledging her!
Chi Xiasheng frowned slightly and looked at the intruder in confusion, not understanding what he was trying to express.
But Wen Shu, who had followed him in, heard his words, couldn’t help but close her eyes, and pointed at the door, shouting at him, “You get out! This has nothing to do with Xiaxia. Don’t use your disgusting thoughts to speculate about him! Get out now, our house doesn’t welcome you.”
Her voice was always soft and gentle. She had never spoken so loudly before. For a moment, she had actually stunned everyone present.
In her excitement, her fingertips were even trembling slightly.
She was really angry with him.
Seeing that her face was not looking good, he quickly stopped talking and took a step forward, wanting to help her calm down.
“Don’t get excited. Your body has always been weak. You always have to rest for a long time to get better…”
The moment his hand was about to touch her, it was mercilessly slapped away.
“Don’t touch me. My body is fine. As long as you’re not loitering in front of me, I can live for another few hundred years!”
The merman race had a lifespan of a thousand years. She had always lived a free and easy life before, but she never expected to run into him.
It had disgusted her for more than twenty years!
The thought that she might have to continue to be entangled with him in the future made her chest tighten, and she almost suffocated herself with the pain.
Ignoring the hurt and embarrassment in his eyes, she said coldly, “Su Chengjian, you took away my newborn child and deceived me into thinking he was dead. Do you think I will still forgive you? The reason I didn’t slap you is because I’m too lazy to fight with you. It’s not worth it!”
He looked at the cold hatred in her eyes, and his heart ached. His throat suddenly became dry, and he couldn’t speak for a long time.
“Shu… Shu’er, I don’t believe it. Mianmian is alive and well. You can’t be so cruel…”
He knew her. He knew she was not just saying angry words. She really didn’t care about him anymore.
When she hated something, she would not vent it out hysterically. Instead, she would treat it with indifference and completely erase it from her heart.
Thinking this through, he felt his vision go black. If he hadn’t supported himself with the table, he would have probably fallen to the ground.
“You know my temper. There’s no possibility of us getting back together. I have my own life. You can take your son and get lost.”
She rubbed her forehead, her tone returning to its usual gentleness, but the words she said still made his heart turn cold.
He was in a daze. He looked at Su Chimian, who was supporting him with a worried expression, and said, not giving up, “But Mianmian is your child, Shu’er. You can hate me, but he is innocent. Look at him properly. Don’t be deceived by Chi Xiasheng. He’s only approaching you to take revenge on the Su family!”
Chi Xiasheng was sitting in a chair. The chopsticks he was holding tightly snapped in two with a “thud.”
He threw the chopsticks into the trash can, took out a tissue to wipe his reddened palm, and looked up at him. “Are you done talking?”
He turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of warning. “I know you hate me. I do owe you, but if you dare to do anything to Wen Shu and Mianmian, just wait to be ruined!”
He let out a light laugh. “Ruined? But my fame is getting better and better now. On the contrary, your son, Su Chimian, is so scared by the netizens’ curses that he doesn’t dare to go out, right? And the Su family, if the netizens knew that you, Su Chengjian, would even throw your son into the sea for the sake of interests, I wonder if the Su Group’s reputation can still be saved!”
He turned red in the neck and slammed the table in anger. “You dare!”
Chi Xiasheng’s face turned cold, and his usually cool face became even more distant and indifferent. “What wouldn’t I dare to do? After all, in your heart, aren’t I just a despicable villain who would do anything?”
He pointed at him with a trembling finger and turned to look at Wen Shu. “Shu’er, you see? He’s such a heartless person! He could even anger his own father to death!”
He just glanced at him coldly. “You’re not dead yet, are you? I’d be happier if you were.”
He clutched his chest and gasped for two breaths, completely unable to imagine that the boy who had once called him “Dad” with pursed lips and obedience had now become so mean!
Su Chimian quickly patted his back and comforted him softly. “Dad, it’s okay. You were forced to do it at that time. After all, the company also needs to operate, and you have to support tens of thousands of employees. And the most hateful ones are those kidnappers, right?”
With that, he turned his head, bit his lip, and then continued to say to Chi Xiasheng, “I know you’re angry. You can just take it out on me. It’s all my fault! Can you stop angering Dad?”
Chi Xiasheng looked at his hypocritical appearance, and his head began to ache.
It was like this before. He would always pretend to be considerate and gentle to win the family’s favor, and at the same time, to contrast with his own badness.
“Su Chimian, right?”
The restaurant was silent for a long time before Wen Shu’s voice sounded.
He looked up at the gentle and beautiful woman and nodded.
This woman was his own mother. He still found it incredible.
He had now calmed down from the panic of learning the truth yesterday. After understanding his situation, he couldn’t help but laugh twice in his heart.
As expected, the heavens were not unkind to him. He was actually Wen Shu’s child!
The panic and fear he had felt when he thought he had been switched at birth had completely disappeared, replaced by excitement and stimulation.
No wonder even at such a critical moment, Su Chengjian would still choose to save him. Thinking of his identity, he finally understood everything.
Didn’t she stand up for Chi Xiasheng before? He glanced at his cold face and thought to himself, The elder you care about will soon be on my side again!
The thought of this made the breath that had been stuck in his chest finally release.
No matter how capable you are, can you be compared to our blood relationship?!
“Is this how you also talk at home?”
She frowned slightly and looked at the innocent-looking him.
He didn’t expect her to ask this. He was a little unsure of her meaning, but thinking about what he had just done, he felt there was no problem and nodded lightly. “Mom, can you stop being angry with Dad? He really cares about you. He was waiting outside the door early in the morning. He was afraid you weren’t up, so he just stood there and waited.”
Hearing him speak for him, he immediately felt much better. He patted his hand and said, “Good boy.”
On the other hand, Wen Nian, who didn’t understand what was going on, widened his eyes when he heard him call her “Mom” and stood up with a whoosh.
“Why are you calling my mom ‘Mom’? What do you mean! Are you trying to steal my mom?!”
He glared at him angrily and tugged at her sleeve, pouting sadly. “Mom, why did you adopt him as your son! I don’t like him. He even deliberately did my makeup so ugly before! A lot of netizens saw it! Mom, do you want to raise another cub? Am I not cute enough?”
Hearing his choked-up question, she tapped him on the forehead. “You sit down first. This matter is very complicated. I’ll explain it to you later.”
He threw a tantrum and stomped to the sofa to sit down. “No, I’m staying here!”
She had a headache, but she didn’t have time to deal with him for now and just let him be.
On the other hand, Su Chengjian was stunned when he heard him call her “Mom.”
“Wen Shu, who is he? Why is he calling you that?”
She was used to stabbing him in the heart and said without hiding anything, “My son, biological, cute, right?”
He looked at Wen Nian’s round, slightly baby-fat face, and his breathing suddenly became rapid. He seemed completely unable to accept that she had another child with someone else!
“No, Wen Shu, you…”
“You see, I’m not indispensable to you. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
After stabbing him with her words, she brushed the hair behind her ear and turned to continue asking Su Chimian, “Is this how Bai Qian taught you? So fake and disgusting. You’re not allowed to call me ‘Mom’ anymore. I don’t want a son like you.”
Hearing this, he looked up abruptly, completely unable to believe what he was hearing.
“I didn’t… I’m not…”
She didn’t want to listen to his explanation and turned to ask Chi Xiasheng, “Xiaxia, what happened when you fell into the sea before? Was it because Su Chengjian didn’t save you after you were kidnapped?”
Seeing that she had guessed it so quickly, he opened his mouth and, in the end, just acquiesced.
“Alright,” she let out a cold laugh. “Su Chengjian, you’ve really opened my eyes. Where’s your conscience? Eaten by a dog! You didn’t even save your own son!”
Seeing her angry appearance, he wanted to explain that it was for the future development of the company, and that in his heart, Chi Xiasheng was not her child and was not worth saving.
“Don’t say anything more. Get lost. The child you look down on, I will protect him myself!”
Hearing her say this, he really wished Chi Xiasheng had drowned in the sea! How could he be so good at bewitching people, even confusing her!
“Shu’er, see clearly! Mianmian is your child! Chi Xiasheng is just using you!”
She couldn’t stand hearing anyone say bad things about Chi Xiasheng, and her voice unconsciously became higher. “Xiaxia is my son! I gave birth to him myself, how can I not feel it?!”
After she finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell silent for a moment.
Chi Xiasheng looked at her, opened his mouth, and his tone couldn’t help but become hurried. “Auntie Wen, you… what do you mean?”
She rubbed her brow. Before she could explain, she saw Pei Zhixuan walking over slowly with a file bag at the entrance.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. The paternity test results are out.”
