Pregnant and Divorced by My Disabled Husband

26: Chapter 26: The Scum Father Sets Up the Hongmen Banquet 26: Chapter 26: The Scum Father Sets Up the Hongmen Banquet Jian Si returned to her room, her heart aching, tears flowing like a freshly dug spring.

Suddenly, her WeChat notification sounded on her phone.

The message was from Jian Sichen.

“Mommy, are you available?

Yueyue and I miss you so much, can we see you?”

Not wanting to worry them, Jian Si lifted her head, took a couple of deep breaths, and held back her tears.

Once she was sure she looked normal, she went to the bathroom and initiated a video call to Jian Sichen.

He answered immediately.

Jian Sichen and Jian Yue’s heads were squeezed onto the tiny phone screen.

“Mommy, we miss you so much, why didn’t you come home today?”

After saying that, Jian Sichen noticed Jian Si’s red-rimmed eyes and hurriedly asked, “Mommy, why are your eyes red?

Did you cry?

Did that scumbag Daddy bully you?”

Reminded by him, Jian Yue also noticed something off about Jian Si’s expression and immediately puffed up her cheeks, “Mommy, how did scumbag Daddy bully you?

Tell me and brother, and we’ll avenge you.”

Jian Si shook her head, managing to squeeze out a smile uglier than crying, “Lu Youting didn’t bully me, I accidentally got face wash in my eyes just now while washing my face.”

Clearly not believing her, Jian Sichen asked suspiciously, “Really?”

Jian Si nodded, and, to prevent them from asking further, she put on a stern face, “It’s already late, why haven’t you two gone to bed yet?

What did I tell you?

Early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy.”

Jian Sichen said, “I slept too much during the day and can’t sleep now.

Mommy, tomorrow is the weekend, can you come back and be with Yueyue and me?

You promised to take us to the amusement park.”

Jian Si couldn’t bear to refuse them.

After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Okay, I need to visit your grandfather’s house tomorrow!

The day after tomorrow, I’ll take a day off to go with you.”

Hearing this, the two children’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Mommy, you promised us, so no going back on your word!

Otherwise, we’ll get angry.”

Jian Si laughed, “When has Mommy ever gone back on my promises to you?

By the way, Chenbao, is the surveillance broken, and can we watch the playback after it’s fixed?”

Jian Sichen asked curiously, “Mommy, why are you asking about that?”

Jian Si urged him, “Don’t ask, just answer me quickly!”

If they could watch the playback, they could find out who was the one adding honey to the soup.

Jian Sichen smiled confidently, “You’re asking the right person.

In principle, you can’t watch playback in this case!

But then again, who am I, the computer genius!”

Jian Si saw a glimmer of hope, “You mean, you can?”

Jian Sichen tilted his head proudly, his little expression couldn’t be more smug, “Of course!

There’s nothing in this world that I can’t do.”

Jian Si breathed a sigh of relief, a plan slowly forming in her mind, “Alright, it’s late, you two should go to bed!

As for the surveillance, we’ll talk when we meet the day after tomorrow.”

Jian Sichen gave her an ‘OK’ gesture.

“Mommy, good night!”

“Mommy, good night!”

After ending the call, Jian Sichen’s smiley little face instantly turned cold, his eyes filled with endless chill, just like Lu Youting when he was angry.

Jian Yue pouted in sympathy, “Mommy really treats us like little kids.

Can’t we tell the difference between crying and something getting in the eyes?

It must be scumbag Daddy who bullied Mommy, but Mommy doesn’t want to tell us because she’s afraid we’d worry.”

Jian Sichen’s little brows knitted tightly, “Dare to bully my mommy, I’ll make him pay.”

Hearing this, Jian Yue immediately asked excitedly, “Brother, do you have an idea?”

Jian Sichen grinned mysteriously, his eyes shrewdly spinning around—

On the other side, Jian Si, having calmed her emotions in the bathroom, walked out of the room only to unexpectedly see Lu Youting sitting on the sofa.

The dim light enveloped him, making it impossible to see his real expression.

“Who were you just talking to?”

His voice was deep, emotionless.

“It’s none of your business,” Jian Si didn’t want to engage with him, her gaze sweeping over him dismissively, “Since you’re here with him, I’ll go rest next door.” Having said that, she attempted to leave.

Watching her retreating back, Lu Youting’s thin lips parted, the words of apology caught in his throat, unable to be voiced as he watched her walk away, powerless.

Under Jian Si’s careful attention, Lu Yanbai’s condition improved the next day.

Jian Si got up early and personally cooked breakfast for him.

“You just got sick yesterday, so you need to be careful with your diet.

I made you some rice soup and vegetables.

Just fill your stomach for now!

When you feel a bit better, I’ll make you something delicious.”

Lu Yanbai took a spoonful of rice soup and put it into his mouth, then closed his eyes in contentment, his face full of enjoyment, “Mommy, your cooking skills are truly amazing; even rice soup tastes like a delicacy.”

Jian Si laughed dryly, “Little flatterer!”

Lu Yanbai took another bite of vegetables, “I’m not a flatterer, I’m telling the truth.

Daddy found me lots of chefs, but none of them cook as deliciously as you do.

I really love eating what Mommy makes.”

Jian Si’s face flushed red with the compliments.

The mother and son were having such a good time chatting.

Just then, Lu Youting came downstairs.

Jian Si’s face instantly fell, and she wouldn’t even give him a direct glance.

Lu Youting took his seat at the head of the table, and Sister Xiang immediately served up the steaming hot Bird’s Nest Porridge and a sandwich with hot milk.

Lu Youting glanced at the simple dishes in front of Lu Yanbai, which were just two dishes but somehow were appetizing.

After taking a sip of Bird’s Nest Porridge, he subconsciously reached out with his chopsticks to grab some food, but Jian Si moved it away.

“Director Lu, I’m sorry.

I only made enough for Xiao Bai, if you eat it then there won’t be any left for him.”

Lu Youting’s face couldn’t take the hit, and through gritted teeth, he said, “He won’t finish it.

I’ll help him.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yanbai immediately hugged the dishes close to his chest, warily eyeing Lu Youting.

“Who says I can’t finish it!

Mommy’s food is delicious, I can eat it all.

Daddy, don’t fight with me for it.”

Lu Youting’s face turned instantly somber.

He bit his lip in secret, retracted his hand, and took a bite of the sandwich.

His usually favorite food now tasted like wax.

After breakfast, Lu Youting drove Jian Si and Lu Yanbai to the hospital.

The entire way there, Jian Si didn’t say a word to Lu Youting, nor did she even give him a glance.

An unnamed rage was stirring in Lu Youting’s chest, and yet he had nowhere to vent it.

By the time it was nearly noon,

Jian Si saw that it was almost time and prepared to hand Lu Yanbai over to Lu Youting and leave.

“I’ll need to go home for a bit, take good care of Xiao Bai, and contact me immediately if anything happens.”

Hearing she was leaving, Lu Yanbai immediately grabbed her hand, “No, I don’t want Mommy to go.”

Jian Si smiled gently, “Mommy needs to visit your grandfather’s house, don’t worry.

Once I sort things out, I’ll come right over.

I won’t leave you behind.”

Lu Yanbai replied without hesitation, “I’ll go with you.”

“Huh?

Go together?”

Lu Yanbai nodded firmly, “Yes, I’ll go with Mommy.

I haven’t seen Grandpa in a long time, and this is a good opportunity to go with you.”

Jian Si couldn’t bear to refuse him, but considering his health, she had to be firm, “No, your health isn’t good.

You need to stay in the hospital to recuperate.”

Lu Yanbai clung to her hand, pleading.

“Mommy, let me go with you, please!

I really want to go with you.

Mommy, Mommy…”

Under his repeated calls for Mommy, Jian Si nearly gave in, but thankfully she stopped herself at the last moment, letting reason triumph over emotion.

“No, it’s for your own good!”

Seeing that he couldn’t get his way with her, Lu Yanbai turned to Lu Youting.

“Daddy, take me with you!

You haven’t taken me there for a long time, and I really want to see Grandpa, please let me go see him!”

Under his persistence, Lu Youting’s heart softened.

“Let him go!

We should take the opportunity for children to bond with the elderly, I’ll go with you.

I’ll take good care of him!”

Jian Si really didn’t want to take Lu Yanbai to the Jian Family’s Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave.

Jian Shihai had arranged to meet with her today, definitely not for something simple, and she didn’t want to drag Xiao Bai into it.

But she couldn’t bear to refuse him either.

After a struggle in her mind, she eventually agreed to his request.

Lu Youting drove them to the Jian Family home.

Because of Lu Yanbai needing an IV drip, they were half an hour later than the originally planned time of eleven o’clock.

While Lu Youting was parking, Jian Si led Lu Yanbai inside.

As soon as they entered, the sarcastic voice of Ye Qingqing could be heard, “Dad, I told you, she doesn’t take you seriously at all.

She said she’d be here at eleven o’clock sharp, and what happened?

She’s a full half hour late.”

Jian Shihai’s face turned dark with anger, ready to erupt, but when he saw Lu Yanbai following Jian Si, he paused and then became even angrier.

“What’s the matter?

Afraid I’ll bully you?

Bringing a child with you for backup?”
