Su Yi looked up and saw Zhou Jinchuan standing before her.
She quickly covered her nose, which was a little sore from the bump, “You’re finally here.”
Zhou Jinchuan was also worried that he had hurt her, so he immediately lowered his head to look, “Let me see.”
Su Yi quickly stopped him, “It’s okay, I’m fine. I didn’t run, why did it take you so long to get here?”
Zhou Jinchuan smiled helplessly, “I ran here as soon as I got the call. I saw you swinging the stick when I got here, and I thought you were in the middle of something, so I didn’t want to interrupt you.”
Su Yi frowned, “You still have the mood to make fun of me? I had no choice but to fight with them, my hand is shaking so badly now.”
Zhou Jinchuan immediately flipped her hand to look.
It was indeed red, and his face immediately turned dark.
He glanced at the few people blocking the door, then walked forward.
He asked the two security guards, “Did you call the police?”
“Reporting to the Commander, we haven’t had the chance yet.”
“Go and call them now. Tell them the number of people so they can prepare a vehicle.”
“Yes!”
Chen Ailing and the others immediately panicked.
They hurriedly stepped forward to explain, “Commander Zhou, we’re not here to cause trouble, we’re here to take the child back to our hometown.”
“Yes, this is our Ye family’s business. We’re taking the child away, what right do you have to stop us?”
Zhou Jinchuan stood still and surveyed the group, his gaze finally settling on the supposed uncle of Ye Xiaowu.
“Creating a disturbance in front of the military base, regardless of the reason, requires criminal interrogation and punishment.”
“As for whether or not you are part of the Ye family, we will find out once you go to the police station.”
Hearing this, everyone panicked.
“We really didn’t do anything, we even got beaten up.”
“Ailing, say something. What are we going to do now? We only dared to come and ask for the child because we listened to you, we gave you the money!”
Chen Ailing heard the others turning against her, her face turned pale with fear.
“Don’t talk nonsense, you are the Ye family, I didn’t take any money.”
Zhou Jinchuan coldly snorted, “Behave yourselves and wait, you can explain yourselves at the police station.”
Su Yi saw the two people talking about money and immediately understood.
This man was not from the Ye family.
He was clearly an imposter hired by Chen Ailing, with the purpose of taking the two children away.
Selling Ye Xiaowu would also leave Ye Nuannuan behind.
Su Yi was still feeling scared, thankfully the two children had been sent away beforehand.
If they had heard their birth mother doing this, she didn’t know how sad they would be.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Ye Xiaowu walking past her towards Chen Ailing.
Su Yi was startled and quickly pulled Ye Xiaowu back, “Xiaowu, don’t go.”
Ye Xiaowu squeezed out a wry smile, “It’s okay, I just want to ask.”
He then walked to Chen Ailing.
“I want to know, how much did you sell me for?”
Chen Ailing was stunned for a moment, her voice trembling as she spoke, “What?”
“Don’t pretend, I heard everything. You sold me to them, how much did you sell me for?”
Faced with her son’s questioning, Chen Ailing suddenly collapsed on the ground, “Xiaowu, Mom didn’t sell you, Mom worked hard to find a good family for you. The money they gave was just a token of appreciation, it’s not what you think.”
“Mom really did everything for your good, finding a good family. Isn’t that better than you being in this compound without a father or mother?”
Ye Xiaowu stubbornly held back tears in his eyes.
Finally, he wiped them away with his sleeve.
“For my good? I’m doing great now, as long as you never appear again.”
“From now on, Nuannuan and I have a new family, you and us have nothing to do with each other anymore!”
Chen Ailing couldn’t help but cry too, “Xiaowu, Mom has her own difficulties, I was forced to do this. Do you think I’m living well out there?”
“I’m not doing well at all, can’t you understand?”
Hearing this, Ye Xiaowu couldn’t help but smile, “You’re doing great, Nuannuan and I both saw it.”
Chen Ailing was stunned for a moment, “Saw what?”
“Saw you, your family of three, taking pictures at the photo studio, saw you, your family of three, happy and content.”
Chen Ailing froze in place.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly understood what he meant by the photo studio.
Were they there that day?
Thinking about it, Chen Ailing suddenly collapsed back to the ground, unable to utter a word.
Not long after, several police cars arrived from the police station.
They took everyone away.
Su Yi looked at Zhou Jinchuan, then at Ye Xiaowu.
She really didn’t know how to comfort them, how to make the children feel better.
Just as she was hesitating, Ye Xiaowu spoke first, “Auntie, it’s getting late, let’s go buy groceries.”
Originally, Su Yi had planned to take them back.
After encountering such a disturbing incident, she had no mood to go buy groceries to celebrate.
“Actually, this is good. Before, I was always worried that she would come back. Now that the police are involved, she definitely won’t dare to come back and bother us anymore. Shouldn’t we celebrate?”
Zhou Jinchuan nodded after hearing this, and looked at the group, “Come on, I’ll go buy groceries with you.”
“Old Lu and Xiao Xie just came back today, they were asking me if they could come over for dinner.”
Su Yi smiled, “Okay, then let’s invite them to dinner tonight.”
The group bought groceries together and went back. The two children helped to quickly wash the vegetables.
Zhou Jinchuan originally wanted to help cut the meat, but after cutting only two slices, he was rejected by Su Yi.
“Your knife skills are good for chopping meat filling, but cutting meat slices? Forget it.”
“But your hand was red just now.”
Su Yi forgot about it, and quickly flipped it over to look. Where was there any redness?
Having a good physique also has its downsides, not giving men any chance.
After being rejected, Zhou Jinchuan quickly went to the living room to make a call, informing Old Lu and Xiao Xie to come over for dinner. The two of them hung up the phone and ran over immediately.
As soon as they entered, they saw Zhou Jinchuan and Su Yi wearing matching aprons in different colors.
They were standing side by side in the kitchen, busy working together.
Lu Changzheng didn’t react at first, just teasing, “Wow, Commander Zhou is cooking himself today? But can you cook? Don’t mess it up, otherwise I won’t dare to eat this meal.”
But Zhao Xiaoyun noticed something.
The atmosphere between the two was completely different from before the New Year.
Looking at Zhou Jinchuan’s gaze, he only raised his eyes to greet them when they entered.
The rest of the time, he was practically glued to Su Yi’s face.
He couldn’t help but secretly pull Lu Changzheng’s sleeve and gave him a wink.
Lu Changzheng then looked at the two again.
At first, he was confused.
Then he saw the two of them cooking, and they would occasionally look at each other and smile, with a tacit understanding like a married couple.
He couldn’t help but say, “What’s going on?”
After saying that, he was about to walk over to “question” them.
Xie Xiaoyun quickly pulled him back, “Ask later, there’s plenty of time.”
“Sister Su Yi is shy, what if you say something and she’s too embarrassed to stay?”
Lu Changzheng thought about Su Yi’s fiery temper and nodded repeatedly, “That’s right, that’s right. Let’s talk about it at the table later. She’s not shy, she’s just got a fiery temper. If we upset her, we won’t even get to eat dinner.”
He then started chatting with Xie Xiaoyun in the living room.
