章節 33: Old Master Cui's Anger

編輯: Atlas Studios

The Cui family was located halfway up Mount Yunlong by the sea in Han City. One could see the vast sea from the courtyard.

At around five in the afternoon, the little boy, Ah Mai, returned to the Cui Mansion after a simple treatment at the military hospital. The family doctor of the Cui Mansion was in-charge of the post-treatment care.

Old Master Cui's face was tense the entire afternoon, causing others to not even dare to breathe loudly. As soon as he returned to the Cui Mansion, he asked the servants to carry Ah Mai upstairs. He sat on the sofa in the hall on the first floor with a serious expression, and the butler, Uncle Li, stood behind him.

Standing in front of the wide rosewood coffee table was a beautiful and fashionable middle-aged woman. When she saw how serious and terrifying Old Master Cui was, her eyes immediately turned red. She stammered, "Dad, I was wrong. I was careless and didn't take good care of Ah Mai."

Old Master Cui remained silent.

When a middle-aged man at the side saw this, he said, "Dad, we were careless and made you worry. As a mother, Jia Ling also blames herself for what happened to her. Now that we're lucky that Ah Mai is safe, I'll definitely arrange for someone to especially keep an eye on Ah Mai throughout the day. Nothing that happened today will happen again."

Old Master Cui looked at this face that looked a little like him and his expression softened slightly.

How could Old Master Cui not know that the couple's worry and self-blame were no less than his? It was just that the Cui Family was so big, yet they could not even take good care of a child. How could he not be angry and blame himself?

"You were the one that brought Ah Mai out today?" Cui Lao ignored the man and looked at Jia Ling.

Jia Ling was flustered and quickly replied, "Dad, I went to a beauty salon today. I brought Ah Mai there before. I didn't expect Ah Mai to sneak out while we were doing our beauty treatments. He used to be obedient. I don't know why this time…"

"You can let down your guard just because nothing happened in the past? Did our family not assign someone to help you? How could you bring the child out by yourself?" Before Jia Ling could finish speaking, Old Master Cui interrupted her sternly.

When Jia Ling heard this, she almost knelt down. Because she was going out with her best friend today, she did not bring the servants with her. Moreover, the salon would specially assign someone to take care of the child. In the past, Ah Mai had been obedient and nothing had ever happened.

Unexpectedly, Ah Mai sneaked out by himself this time. When she found out that the child was missing, Jia Ling was about to go crazy. When she saw that Ah Mai was on the verge of death, she wished she could die.

Thinking about it now, Jia Ling was still afraid.

Faced with Old Master Cui's question, Jia Ling immediately cried. "Dad, I know I was wrong. I'll definitely learn my lesson in the future. I won't be careless."

Old Master Cui snorted and said nothing more.

He knew very well that as a mother, Jia Ling did not want anything to happen to her child. Ah Mai was fine too. He just wanted to remind them again to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Old Master Cui slowly got up and left the hall.

Seeing that Jia Ling was still sobbing, Cui Hong comforted her. "Alright, fortunately, Ah Mai is fine this time. We really can't be careless in the future. I was so anxious today. If anything happened to Ah Mai, wouldn't we…" Cui Hong didn't finish his sentence, but the couple understood what he meant.

The Cui family was not an ordinary family. They were one of the richest families in the world and one of the four wealthiest families in Han City. Ah Mai was the only descendant of the Cui family and would be the heir of the Cui family in the future. If anything happened, the Cui family would not be able to bear it.

Jia Ling said fearfully, "Hubby, I understand. I regret it too."

Jia Ling was originally a popular celebrity. Later on, she met Cui Hong, the son of a wealthy family. The two of them fell in love. Jia Ling successfully married into the Cui family under the envy of the world. This was the superficial glory that the world saw, but only Jia Ling knew how difficult it was for her.

At that time, Old Master Cui did not agree with the relationship between Jia Ling and Cui Hong. It was only after she was pregnant that Old Master Cui's attitude softened slightly, but he still did not agree to let them register their marriage. Therefore, on the surface, Jia Ling and Cui Hong had already held a wedding and had two daughters. However, only they knew that they were only allowed to collect their marriage certificate when Ah Mai was born.

Now that Ah Mai had fallen into the water, Jia Ling felt that the pitiful recognition that she had obtained from Old Master Cui over the years was gone.
