章節 10: Chapter 10 Is Mommy's Ex-Husband Our Daddy?
Apartment.
Cheng Ruowei obediently sat on the couch.
Standing opposite her with serious expressions were Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia, questioning her.
"Mommy, who exactly is the big bad guy who bullied you three times?"
Cheng Ruowei initially didn't want to say, but considering the alarming situation that day, she feared they might run into the Di Family again if she didn't clarify.
"That big bad guy is my ex-husband."
At her words, Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia looked at each other, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Mommy's ex-husband?!
"Is the big bad guy our daddy?"
Di Jinye is daddy?
"Of course not!"
Cheng Ruowei immediately clarified, seeing her children's reactions.
The next moment, the pain from where her lips had been bitten made her think of Di Jinye's forceful kiss.
How could she possibly have children with Di Jinye?
At that moment, Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia's emotions were on a roller coaster ride, striking in the short time elapsed.
After hearing mommy's denial, a hint of disappointment still flashed in their eyes.
"I'm sorry, mommy didn't tell you before, I got divorced, and my ex-husband is not your daddy," Cheng Ruowei gently explained, apologizing.
Even though Yuheng and Jiajia were her children, her approach to parenting was one of respect and equality.
When they were younger, they had also asked why they didn't have a daddy.
It was a fact she couldn't change; if she couldn't give her two children a complete family, she had to give them more love.
"It's better that he's not the bad daddy."
At that moment, Cheng Yuheng suddenly straightened his little face, saying, "He is the bad guy who bullied mommy. If he's worse than a bad guy, then he is our enemy."
The epithet "bad daddy" made Cheng Ruowei pause.
She knew that Yuheng and Jiajia were always protecting her and so despised anyone who bullied her.
"Tell mommy, what have you both found out?"
"We found out the car plate belongs to the Di Family, the wealthiest family, but mommy, you're already divorced. Why does he still bully you?"
Cheng Yuheng became angrier the more he thought about it, clenching his tiny fists.
Cheng Jiajia, tilting her little head, followed up with a question, "Mommy, did you divorce the big bad guy because of us?"
Taking this chance after a narrow escape, Cheng Ruowei wanted to clear things up.
"Back then, my divorce from him was very unpleasant, indeed it was my fault, and he's still angry about it. That's why he keeps bothering and bullying me."
"Mommy, it was him all three times, right? Besides the forced kiss, was there any other bullying?"
Her son's questioning was very straightforward.
Hearing this, Cheng Ruowei thought of being held and kissed forcefully in front of her children by Di Jinye, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment.
"There's no other bullying."
There's only the indelible psychological shadow left behind.
Then, Cheng Jiajia, with her arms akimbo and looking indignant, said, "Brother, forcefully kissing a girl is very rude and disrespectful, and that's already serious bullying. If it wasn't for mommy telling us to run, we could've called the police to arrest him."
The children had access to the internet and indeed had more mature and sensible thinking than their peers.
Just as Cheng Ruowei was about to speak, her daughter suddenly looked worriedly at her stomach.
"Mommy, could there be a little baby in your belly?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Cheng Ruowei was startled.
She then hurriedly explained, "Jiajia, you can't have a baby from just a kiss, don't worry."
She suddenly felt it might be time to arrange a sex education talk for the two children.
"Regardless, we absolutely cannot let the big bad guy who bullied mommy get away with it!"
Cheng Yuheng felt he was the only man in the family and thus shouldered the responsibility to protect mommy and take care of his sister.
Hearing this, Cheng Ruowei quickly hugged her son, her brows furrowed as she persuaded, "No! The Di Family is powerful and influential, and he's not someone we can provoke. Moreover, mommy doesn't want him to see you two. Promise mommy that you won't provoke the Di Family and if you see them, run far away."
She was unsure if her elder son's abduction years ago was a retaliation from the Di Family, but she was certain that Di Jinye was truly dangerous.
Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia silently exchanged looks.
"Don't worry, mommy. We will be careful in the future," they promised.
"Okay, Mommy will go take a shower first, and then prepare dinner for you later."
Cheng Ruowei had no doubts about the promise to her two children.
However, the siblings sneaked off to the balcony to whisper.
"Does brother still want to take revenge for Mommy?"
"Of course, even if we listen to Mommy and don't provoke the Di Family, could it be that the big bad guy won't bother Mommy anymore?"
"What do you plan to do, brother? We can't be caught and make Mommy worry."
Cheng Jiajia tilted her little head, looking up at her brother with admiration in her eyes.
"Don't worry, sister, I will find a way."
Cheng Yuheng silently pondered in his heart that he had made an enemy of the Di Family.
***
In the next two days.
Cheng Ruowei took her children for a weekend holiday, sending them off to school on Monday.
During that time, she kept an eye on the news about Cheng Family Pharmaceuticals.
Because of Di Jinye's orders, no pharmaceutical company dared to contact Cheng Family Pharmaceuticals for acquisition.
For the Cheng Family, being restricted from trade by the Di Family was supposed to be a rescue, but Mr. Cheng couldn't meet with the young master of the Di Family no matter what, and the Cheng Family's financial chain was increasingly in danger.
The Cheng Family had no idea what they had done to offend the Di Family again.
After hiding for two days, Cheng Ruowei was anxious.
Di Jinye was forcing her to beg him for help.
But she had no bargaining chips to talk to him, she couldn't rush there recklessly.
Last time at the restaurant, she had felt the rage and dominance of Di Jinye. If it hadn't been for her son's timely rescue, who knows how much advantage Di Jinye would have taken?
"It seems I have to negotiate using Yun Li's identity."
Noon.
In the seafood restaurant's Peony Room.
Using the identity of Yun Li, Cheng Ruowei made an appointment to meet Dr. Zhou, who had been contacting her on behalf of the Di Family.
Upon their first meeting, Zhou Yukun, wearing glasses, had a gentle smile, but he was somewhat stunned when he saw Yun Li in person.
She really was beautiful; could she actually be the ex-lover of the young master of the Di Family?
"Dr. Zhou, it's quite presumptuous of me to ask to meet you, but I would like to know more about the matter of the Di Family wanting me to develop a medicine you mentioned earlier. May I ask who the patient is?"
Cheng Ruowei explained her intentions.
If the patient had a status within the Di Family, perhaps she could discuss terms with Di Jinye.
Zhou Yukun smiled distantly, sipping tea as he said, "Miss Yun Li, I apologize, but I cannot reveal the patient's privacy. If you really agree to develop medicine for the Di Family, I will discuss the details with you further and provide the information you need as a Pharmacist."
Thoroughly rejected, Cheng Ruowei had not expected her first move to be unsuccessful.
"Sorry, I haven't made up my mind yet."
"It's okay, I hope your final decision will be to agree."
Zhou Yukun maintained a warm smile as he secretly sent a message to the young master of the Di Family from under the table.
"Your ex-lover asked to meet me, do you want to know the location? Let's trade for a bottle of your treasured red wine."
At the entrance of the same restaurant.
The Di Family's limousine stopped, and Bai Qiyun dressed in a sexy and glamorous outfit, pretentiously holding the hand of Di Zeran, walked into the elevator.
Di Zeran looked up at her cautiously and asked, "Mommy, will Daddy really come to have dinner with us?"
"He will come, but I don't know how long he can stay. You need to be good."
In reality, Bai Qiyun was using Di Zeran, trying to create an opportunity to meet with Di Jinye.
Similarly, Di Zeran didn't like this indifferent Mommy, but he was willing to cooperate if it meant seeing Daddy.
The meeting was arranged in the Rose Room.
Meanwhile.
Cheng Ruowei went to the restroom, and on her way back through the corridor, she happened to run into Di Jinye coming out of the elevator.
Startled, she immediately turned and hid. Di Jinye couldn't be here to catch her, could he?!
Afterwards, her nervous gaze followed him as she saw Di Jinye stride with long legs into the Rose Room.
The moment he pushed open the door, there sat a woman with a bewitching smile - a woman she recognized as the daughter of the Bai Family who the old lady Di had once wanted Di Jinye to marry.
So after divorcing her, did Di Jinye marry Bai Qiyun?
Suddenly, Cheng Ruowei's heart inexplicably ached for a moment.
