Chapter 559: Chapter 476: Freak (Four Updates)
Jin Yichen’s uncle, Su Ting, was a middle-aged man with a muscular build and a buzzcut. If he had a gold chain hanging around his neck, Li Si wouldn’t have doubted that he was some kind of gangster.
But at the moment, Su Ting was wearing a short-sleeved white tang suit, which looked somewhat odd.
Su Ting’s wife didn’t appear to be his first wife. She was super young, with heavy makeup on her face and dressed in something very revealing and sexy.
Later, Leng Ning whispered quietly into her ear, saying that this woman was his second wife, named Lan Xue. They got together when she was just 22. Now she’s only 30.
By her side was a 7- or 8-year-old boy named Su Zirui. He looked decent, but for some reason, left an unlikeable impression.
At some distance from them sat a girl, who was quite pretty but appeared a bit scrawny. It was said that she was Su Ting’s daughter with his ex-wife, named Su Jinxixi.
When Li Si heard her name, she couldn’t hold back her laughter!
What kind of name is this? "Jinxixi Aunt"? A name out of a drama series?
After everyone exchanged introductions, Zhuang Liqun started chatting enthusiastically with Li Si about his college days.
Jin Jiachao and Jin Yichen would occasionally chime in.
Li Si was interested in her dad’s university life, so she listened intently.
The scene nearby, however, was not so pleasant. Su Ting’s youngest son was practically like a little megaphone.
He kept making loud, wailing sounds.
"I don’t want to eat fish! It smells fishy! I only eat meat!"
And then there was that second wife yelling at him.
"You can’t just eat meat! Hurry up and eat! Finish your food properly, and I’ll take you to visit your uncle’s house later!"
Su Jinxixi, who was sitting nearby, silently ate from the plate in front of her. Perhaps she’d already grown accustomed to it and was completely unbothered.
Leng Ning leaned in toward Li Si and mimicked in a whisper, "Sister-in-law! You won’t believe it—at the airport earlier, the moment I saw his second wife, I nearly laughed out loud. How can someone so absurd even exist!"
"What happened?" Li Si’s curiosity was piqued.
Because Lan Xue kept casting glances in their direction. Honestly, it couldn’t have been at her or Leng Ning. Women naturally repel each other.
So, it could only have been directed at Jin Yichen!
Oh my god. She needed a moment to process this!
"She stretched out her arms to hug Jin Yichen when she saw him! And then Su Ting slapped her away! She’s already his second wife, and she still acts like this? Totally insane!"
Li Si found it unbelievable too! How could this woman be so brazen?
"What is going through her head?"
Leng Ning pursed her lips, "Who knows! But I’m guessing she grossed Jin Yichen out for sure!"
Just thinking about Jin Yichen’s utterly disgusted expression made her laugh uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Jin Yichen, sitting nearby, helplessly rubbed his nose. He’d met this second wife years ago, back when Su Zirui was only about two years old.
Even then, she’d shown an unsettling interest in him.
She constantly tried to take advantage of him!
Who would have thought that, even now with her son almost 8 years old, she’d still be the same!
On his maternal family’s side, only his uncle’s family was left. If things weren’t pushed too far, he didn’t want to strain the relationship unnecessarily.
But judging from the current situation, it looked like money was involved this time. There was no way to avoid tearing the facade down.
Jin Jiachao and Zhuang Liqun were chatting happily, and Su Ting occasionally added a few words. But throughout the entire meal, his expression remained dark.
Back when he stayed behind in Shandong for years to help his brother-in-law look for his lost nephew, he’d admitted to himself that his well-off life was thanks to his brother-in-law.
Every year, several considerable sums of money were sent to his charity foundation to help fund the search for Jin Jiamei’s lost son.
At first, he actively searched, but the sheer scope of it was overwhelming, and the circumstances of the loss were so puzzling.
There wasn’t even a single photograph—what could he use to search?
Over time, he realized that after his brother-in-law moved abroad, supervision became lax.
So, he stopped caring. Eventually, he stopped looking altogether.
With those hefty annual funds, he could live a luxurious life of privilege.
But now, everything was about to come to an end. If the money stopped, how would he survive in the future?
The second wife he married later on, while definitely attractive and fiery, required a lot of money to keep pleased as well.
If one day he had nothing left, would that floozy Lan Xue still stay with him?
Dream on!
And even now, with him still around, this slut was brazenly eyeing the Jin family’s Jin Yichen.
Who knows what she’d do when he’s gone one day!
But a calculating glint flickered across his eyes...
Lan Xue couldn’t stop glancing at Jin Yichen. She thought he looked even more handsome than he had years ago!
He stirred her feelings even more!
She knew her thoughts were wrong, but she couldn’t control this urge to get closer to him—closer still!
After dinner, as everyone parted ways, Leng Ning decided she didn’t want to go to the Jin Family’s place, so she left with Li Si instead.
"Sister-in-law, I want to check on Buding and Xiao Guai!"
Li Si couldn’t help teasing her, "Are you going specifically to see Buding or Xiao Guai?"
"Oh, both, of course!"
When Li Si and Leng Ning got home, they were unlucky to find that Buding had just fallen asleep.
Leng Ning complained, "I swear, every time I come over, he’s always sleeping!"
But as she saw Xiao Guai coming down from upstairs, her face instantly lit up with joy!
"Xiao Guai!"
The proud Xiao Guai glanced at her but immediately made his way toward Li Si.
This left Leng Ning so envious she could barely stand it.
She pouted and acted cute, "Sister-in-law! Is it because you’ve raised him since he was little that he likes you best?"
"Probably! But if you visit often enough, you’ll warm up to him eventually!"
Xiao Guai relaxed, enjoying his owner’s massage, and even closed his eyes in contentment.
Leng Ning was practically green with envy, "Alright, I’ll definitely be coming over often. Just don’t get annoyed with me!"
The two chatted and soon brought up Lan Xue.
"I just don’t understand what Jin Yichen’s uncle was thinking, marrying such a young second wife. Who knows how much trouble she stirs up outside?"
Leng Ning thought the way that woman looked at Jin Yichen was way too eager—so blatant.
But outwardly, she was too embarrassed to say anything. The whole situation felt terrible!
"Why are they back? Are they planning to stay permanently in Beijing?"
Leng Ning shook her head, "Not sure! But from what Mr. Jin said, it seems like something about reclaiming funds! I didn’t catch all the details!"
As they were talking, Leng Mochen abruptly returned.
"Why are you back so early today?" Li Si glanced at the clock—it was only 3 PM!
He usually wouldn’t come back at this hour. He’d been really busy lately!
"Brother!" Leng Ning noticed her older brother’s dark expression and cautiously greeted him.
"You’re here, Xiao Ning," Leng Mochen responded blandly.
Sensing the mood, Leng Ning thought it was better to leave. She found an excuse and promptly disappeared.
After Leng Ning left, Li Si told Leng Mochen about the visit to Su Meng’s place earlier that day.
"Find a chance to persuade Brother Wu. Su Meng really can’t keep going on like this in her current state. Even if she manages to give birth, she’ll likely end up with postpartum depression!"
There are plenty of cases of postpartum depression, and some of them end in serious consequences because they weren’t addressed in time.
