Chapter 19 – Picking Up The Kids (4)

“She’s always been an uncultured village woman, nothing like you. It’s fine. I will be fine in a couple of days.”

Li Jiaojiao pursed her lips and feeling worried, she asked, “Qiang-

ge

, what do we do now? We can’t let them leak those pictures. Or we will be done for.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let her have her ways,”aid Ye Zhiqiang viciously.

She started this. Wanted to blackmail him with the photos? Don’t even think about it. It’s just photos. He could do the same to her.

After Ye Zhiqiang had placated Li Jiaojiao, he took a few men with him and headed straight toward Shu Yan’s house.

“Qiang-

ge

, we have searched from 1st to 5th floor. There’s nobody here.”

Ye Zhiqiang grabbed a cup from the table, smashed it on the floor, and said through gritted teeth, “She must be over at Shu Jianyang’s.”

Just as Shu Yan had thought, Ye Zhiqiang wasn’t brave enough to try to go at her on Shu Jianyang’s territory. But, of course, neither was he going to leave everything to her.

She was just a woman. She cared about her children. Thinking of that saying, Ye Zhiqiang immediately called his parents.

“Who is it?”

“Uncle, it’s me. Zhiqiang. Nothing much, I just wanted to talk to my folks.” Ye Zhiqiang thought it was about time to install a phone at his parents. This was way too inconvenient.

About twenty minutes later, Ye Zhiqiang called back. This time, it was old Mr. Ye who picked up the phone.

“Dad, it’s me. Where are the kids?” Ye Zhiqiang cut straight to the chase. He was in no mood to chitchat right now.

“The kids? Didn’t you send Shu Jianbo to come and pick them up?” Old Mr. Ye’s heart fell to the bottom. “You didn’t know about this?”

Ye Zhiqiang stood up abruptly and said, “Shu Jianbo picked up the kids?”

He should have thought about this sooner. Shu Jianyang was never a pushover. 

“Yes, not too long ago. They should be on the last bus out now. What’s the matter? You didn’t send him?” Old Mr. Ye was worried.

“I have been very busy these last few days and didn’t know what was going on at home. I thought school was about to start soon so I was going to give you a call. Perhaps, Shu Yan had sent her cousin to pick them up. I’ll call and ask her.” He has not yet told his family about the divorce and now all the more he couldn’t. Wasn’t there enough happening already?

“Okay, then call and find out soon.” Old Mr. Ye’s eyelids had been twitching all day long today, and he couldn’t shake this feeling that something was not right.

“I know. Shu Jianbo is  a principal. There’s nothing wrong with handing the kids over to him. Okay, I’ll hang up now and call you again some other time.” After he had hung up, he was clenching down so hard that he almost broke his teeth. 

Lingan Township was a 40-minute bus ride to town. The two children were not used to riding in buses, so they were fairly dispirited. By the time they had arrived, the man arranged by Shu Jianyang was already waiting there. He picked them up and took them all the way over to City Xi.

“Your kids are here,” said Shu Jianyang as he knocked on Shu Yan’s door.

They were here already? Suddenly, Shu Yan felt a bit hesitant. Certainly, she had said that she had the long end of the stick earlier, but after all, she was a single woman who had just became an instant mother. There were certain pressures that came with that.
