She Took Back Her Children and Got a Husband

"I've seen it before, the doctor said everything is normal with his body, it might get better when he gets a little older," Xuanxuan said.

That might be a personality issue. A lack of love from an early age or family influence could have caused some psychological problems for the child.

"Auntie, may I ask, how is your Daddy and Mommy's relationship?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.

It was her first time asking about Jiang Yufei's love life.

"They're both very busy and hardly spend time with us, especially Mommy, who often comes home late. Daddy and Mommy don't talk much, and Daddy is cold to everyone."

Xuanxuan's expression told Jiang Xiaorou that Jiang Yufei and Mr. Shen's relationship might not be very good. It seemed like family issues were affecting the children. This won't do, Jiang Xiaorou thought she must find a way to take the children away, to let them grow up healthy and happy.

Jiang Yufei rushed in holding Duoduo: "Xuanxuan, stop eating, I've asked the driver to take you and Duoduo home. There's an issue at the company, I need to deal with it right away."

"But Mommy, it's very late now, can't you deal with it tomorrow? Duoduo seems tired, she will definitely fuss a lot without you at night." Xuanxuan looked up at Mommy with a little face of longing.

It was a pleading look, as if begging Jiang Yufei to not be too busy, to not leave the two adorable little ones behind.

"Xuanxuan, be good, take care of your little sister. Call Mommy when you get home, okay?" Jiang Yufei carried Duoduo and pulled Xuanxuan toward the outside of the restaurant.

Jiang Xiaorou hurriedly followed them out, and this is what she saw.

Xuanxuan willingly got into the car, but Duoduo did not want to leave Jiang Yufei's arms at all. Her two little hands clung tightly around her neck, tears falling down, a sight that was heart-wrenching.

Jiang Yufei was a bit irritated, in a rush to leave. She forcibly put the child into the car, and Duoduo's head hit the car door, letting out a cry, and the scene turned to chaos in an instant.

"Jiang Yufei, they are children, not your stepping stones to success. Have you really lost your conscience?" Jiang Xiaorou couldn't stand it anymore, and stormed over angrily.

"Jiang Xiaorou, I'm warning you too, tonight I only agreed to let you visit the children. As for other matters, it's not your place to point fingers here."

Slam! Jiang Yufei closed the car door directly, turned around, and hailed a taxi to go deal with the emergency at her company.

Jiang Xiaorou sneered, now she understood. This is how Jiang Yufei treated her five-year-old treasures. No wonder Duoduo was always crying, not talking, all caused by Jiang Yufei herself.

"Wait."

Jiang Xiaorou opened the car door and sat in. She couldn't bear to leave the two children alone in the car, uncared for. It was just too pitiful. After Jiang Xiaorou got in, the driver finally drove away.

Duoduo kept crying; she had gotten a big bump on her forehead. Xuanxuan, being very sensible, was rubbing the bump on Duoduo's head to ease it, but Duoduo kept crying hard, her watery eyes staring out of the car window. She was missing Mommy.

"Is there any medicine in the car?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.

"No," Xuanxuan shook his head.

Jiang Xiaorou looked around and saw a pharmacy not far ahead, so she had the driver stop there. She went to buy some medicine to help treat the bump on Duoduo's head.

But when Duoduo saw these strange things, she was scared stiff. How could she cooperate? She cried even harder than before.

"Duoduo, be good. Does the bump on your head hurt? Let Auntie put some medicine on it, I promise it will stop hurting soon, and it will feel cool and comfortable. Okay?"

Jiang Xiaorou coaxed Duoduo patiently, hoping she would nod her head.

"Auntie is not a bad person. Auntie and Mommy are sisters. Look, I'll show you a picture, look who this is."

Jiang Xiaorou still had a photo of her and Jiang Yufei together on her phone, luckily she kept it.

"See, this is Auntie, and this is Mommy. We are very good sisters, Auntie won't hurt you. Can you trust me now?"

When Duoduo saw the photo of Mommy, she cried less than before, but there was still a lot of uncertainty in her eyes.

"Duoduo, Auntie won't hurt you, you just behave, and Gege will be here with you too, okay?" Xuanxuan spoke to his sister softly and gently.

Only then did Duoduo nod, and Jiang Xiaorou carefully applied the medicine to Duoduo's bruise, while Xuanxuan kept telling jokes to stop Duoduo from continuing to cry.

After applying the medicine, Jiang Xiaorou mimicked her mother, telling Duoduo and Xuanxuan stories, singing, and sharing her childhood stories with Jiang Yufei, including times she embarrassed herself.

Xuanxuan laughed so hard he was nearly doubled over, while Duoduo listened intently, but she really couldn't laugh, her face remaining expressionless throughout.

As she listened, Duoduo fell asleep, and the second her little head rested in Jiang Xiaorou's arms, she was genuinely shocked. Holding her own daughter felt so much better than clutching untold wealth.

Jiang Xiaorou really wanted to kidnap these treasures, but that would be very difficult to actually do.

"Auntie, did you just come back to the country recently? Mommy never mentioned you before," Xuanxuan asked.

"Yes! I've just returned, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to see each other from now on," Jiang Xiaorou said, looking at the child with an increasing fondness.

Especially Duoduo in her arms, it was so heart-wrenching.

"Great! I really like you, you're so nice, not like Mommy, she never tells us stories."

Every time Xuanxuan mentioned Mommy, a sense of loss would appear in his eyes, the children longed for family affection yet were deprived of it, their pleadings ignored by everyone; being in a wealthy family did not mean that everything went their way.

"Here's my phone number, call me if you want to hear a story, okay?" Jiang Xiaorou's hand rested on Xuanxuan's head, caressing it gently.

"Can I call anytime then?" Xuanxuan looked at Jiang Xiaorou with hopeful eyes.

He thought to himself, if only Auntie were Mommy.

"Of course."

As they chatted, the car stopped outside the gates of the Shen Family mansion.

The household servants, seeing the car return, hurried over.

"Sister is asleep," Xuanxuan said to the servant.

"Yes, young master, leave her to me," the servant leaned into the car.

Looking at this scene, they were just about to freak out.

Miss Duoduo lying in the arms of a strange woman? She usually lets no one hold her, no one besides Mr. Shen and Young Mrs. Shen may touch even a finger on her; these servants at most could manage to hold her when she's asleep, they wouldn't dare approach otherwise.

Let alone every night before bed, it would be a huge commotion if Mr. Shen and Young Mrs. Shen were late; it was as if the villa's roof would be blown off.

And now, she was lying in the arms of a strange woman? It was incredible!

"Miss, who are you?" the servant took Duoduo into her arms and asked casually.

"I'm a friend of your Young Mrs. Shen, she asked me to bring the children here. Duoduo got hurt on her head, please call a doctor to check on her when you get home, it wouldn't do to leave a scar on a young girl's face." Jiang Xiaorou got out of the car, instructed briefly, and walked away.

The servant snapped back to reality after a while: "Hmph, who does that woman think she is, acting as if she's the lady of the house, even giving commands."

"Daddy," Xuanxuan called out.

Mr. Shen came out, his stature was upright, and he exuded an extraordinary presence, the air of a king that was sacred and inviolable.

"Where's Jiang Yufei?"

Mr. Shen's face was very somber, his sparse words filled with dissatisfaction and reproach towards Jiang Yufei.

"Mommy had to deal with some urgent business at the company, so she had the driver take me and Sister home," Xuanxuan replied truthfully.

"If she doesn't care for this home, then she shouldn't come back. Lock the doors later, everyone go rest, no matter what happens, do not open the door," Mr. Shen took Duoduo in his arms and walked towards the villa.

"Daddy, Mommy didn't do anything wrong, please forgive her this time!" Xuanxuan followed Daddy closely, trying to plead for Mommy.

"Abandoning her own children and letting a stranger bring them home, is that called doing nothing wrong?" Mr. Shen was extremely unhappy with Jiang Yufei's actions.

"She's not a stranger." Xuanxuan hurriedly explained.

"Then who is she?" Mr. Shen suddenly stopped, turning around, the figure from before was no longer there.

But he had seen very clearly just now, a strange woman getting out of the car and leaving.
