Chapter 437: Chapter 437
Chen Jiahua was stunned and took two steps back, his face quickly displaying two red palm prints.
Everyone was a bit slow to react, only Little Zhuanqi thought it was a fun event, giggling happily and even clapping her little hands.
Chen Jiahua gave a wry smile, whispering an apology to Wan Chu’er: "I’m sorry."
He had long known that his mother would not stay put and was bound to stir up some trouble sooner or later. Not only could he not stop her, but he had also helped her. After all, he had been involved in the child abduction and thus, he deserved those slaps.
Just because his son did not react, did not mean that the old lady would not.
Yuan Mei Qin was appalled that her granddaughter Wan Chu’er would dare to assault and disrespect her uncle. She immediately furrowed her brows, her voice sharp as she exclaimed:
"Wan Chu’er, you uncultured little brat, how dare you hit someone! Do you know who he is? He is your uncle!"
The slaps that Yuan Mei Qin delivered to her son’s face were as if they were on her own face, leaving her utterly humiliated.
Wan Chu’er coldly stated: "If you dare to do it, then be prepared to face the consequences!"
If it weren’t for Yuan Mei Qin’s age being in the seventies, Wan Chu’er feared she might kill the old lady with a slap; she’d rather hit this dead old woman.
It was clear that this was orchestrated by Yuan Mei Qin, an unsteady and ambitious old lady.
"How about those slaps? I not only slapped your son twice, but I also plan to send both of you to prison! You will pay for this!"
Yuan Mei Qin was choked up, her voice raised even higher as she shouted: "You dare! I am your grandmother. Did your mother teach you to be so disrespectful to your elders? I took my great-granddaughter, why should I be sent to prison?"
She appeared righteously indignant, still full of fury, thinking of giving Wan Chu’er a lesson.
Jiang Kechu’s face turned cold, Li Shanru watched the hideous old lady as if she was some kind of monster; the two airport security guards were also shocked.
Seeing Wan Chu’er’s changed demeanor, Chen Jiahua hurriedly went to his mother’s side, grabbed the old lady’s arm, and advised:
"Mom, stop making a fuss, this is indeed our fault."
Yuan Mei Qin felt her younger son was a disgrace. She jerked her hand away from him, pointed at Wan Chu’er’s nose, and scolded mercilessly:
"Look at you, completely insane, no manners at all, disrespecting and not caring for elders, always involved in violence, not at all like a lady!
Taking this child was for your own good; you are already ruined. I will not let my great-granddaughter be ruined. I’ll take her to M country, give her the best educational resources, and mold her into a gifted individual. People beg me for less, if it weren’t for your father, do you think you’d have such a good fortune!"
Wan Chu’er coldly glanced at her as if looking at a lunatic, "The police are coming soon, prepare yourself for prison." She wouldn’t waste any more words with this crazy woman, it’s like talking to a brick wall.
Wan Chu’er then walked towards Jiang Kechu and Little Zhuanqi.
As she turned around, she saw a group of police officers hurrying over; she raised her hand, "Officers, over here, the kidnappers are here."
This incident was personally handled by Father Jiang who had contacted the police station, and these officers wouldn’t dare delay; upon hearing the news, they quickly mobilized all available forces.
Seeing the fierce-looking police getting closer, Yuan Mei Qin finally panicked: her granddaughter was serious about sending her and her son to prison!
Chen Jiahua was also frightened, he quickly called out to Wan Chu’er: "Hey, Wan Chu’er, niece, you’re not serious, right? Although we were wrong this time, she is your grandmother, your own grandmother, I am your young uncle, your own uncle! You can’t be so heartless to sever family ties , this isn’t fun at all."
Li Shan sneered: "Idiot! Who’s playing with you?"
The police arrived quickly, and the leading officer reached out to grab both Chen Jiahua and Yuan Mei Qin.
Chen Jiahua panicked, retreating and dodging, yelling: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are family, this is just a joke, you got it wrong."
Yuan Mei Qin shouted: "We are overseas Chinese! We belong to M country, you have no right to do this!"
The two airport security officers pretended to look elsewhere quickly, stepping aside, thinking this old lady really knows how to cause a scene, claiming to be overseas Chinese...
A policeman sternly said: "No matter who you are, on the territory of China, you must comply with Chinese law. Everyone is equal before the law! We can discuss anything at the police station."
"Click." Chen Jiahua was dumbfounded as cold handcuffs were clasped on his wrists; his legs went weak, but he was held steady by two burly policemen and did not fall to the ground.
"Mom, think of something fast! I don’t want to go to jail." He shouted in terror to his mother, having heard from many M country newspapers how dark it was inside the prisons, claiming it was a fate worse than death. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⁂fire.net
Seeing the situation, Yuan Mei Qin’s previous arrogance disappeared completely. She shakily sat down on the ground, began smacking her thighs while crying and sniffling, nothing like her earlier domineering presence, just a vulgar shrew from the countryside.
"Wan Chu’er, your heart is too cruel, I am your grandmother! Which granddaughter treats her own grandmother !"
Upon hearing the three words ’biological maternal grandmother’, the police who had grabbed her hesitated, looking towards Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu.
Wan Chu’er said, "Over fifty years ago, when you abandoned my dad, you severed any relation with me."
Yuan Mei Qin cursed inwardly with bitter resentment, then burst out crying.
"How miserable my fate is!"
"My son, Shi Guo, why did you leave so early, causing your mother to bury her own son."
"Back in those tough days, the hardship your mother endured fearing you might starve..."
"Mom was helpless, unable to support you. If she hadn’t left you at the doorstep of the welfare institution, both mother and son would have starved to death!"
"Mom is sorry for you, I will come to find you and apologize."
Everyone was completely taken by surprise that Yuan Mei Qin, the old lady, would resort to such a pathetic play. Wan Chu’er, however, felt a fierce rage burning in her chest.
She even had the audacity to bring up Wan Shiguo!
Remembering the suffering Wan Shiguo endured chilled Wan Chu’er to the bone.
At the first instance, Jiang Kechu noticed something was off with Wan Chu’er. He quickly freed one hand to embrace her tightly and whispered soothing words of comfort into her ear.
After a long while, Wan Chu’er gradually calmed down amidst the soft murmurs of Jiang Kechu and the baby talk of her daughter.
Jiang Kechu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "No matter what, she indeed is dad’s mother. You may disown her, but the blood relation between her and dad can’t be severed.
She is, nominally, your grandmother. Whether you recognize it or not, if you really strike her, those unaware of the truth will judge you from a moral high ground. Think about Zhuanqi and Hunter."
This incident would not stay hidden and would inevitably become public. If bystanders knew that Wan Chu’er personally sent her own grandmother to prison, Chuchu’s reputation would definitely suffer.
Mentioning their son and daughter made Wan Chu’er hesitant; she could disregard what others said about her, but when it involved her children, she couldn’t bring herself to be too harsh.
Yet, letting them off easily did not sit well with her wrath either.
Jiang Kechu, who knew her very well, noticed her eyes flickering and understood her intention, thus he said, "Banish them from the country, never to return."
Seeing the couple whispering to each other, Chen Jiahua and Yuan Mei Qin knew their ploy had worked. The police, adept at reading situations, also preferred not to intervene in this family matter if it could be internally resolved, and thus remained inactive.
After a while, Wan Chu’er gave Yuan Mei Qin and Chen Jiahua a cold glance, hugged her daughter, turned around, and walked away, ignoring them any further.
Yuan Mei Qin sighed in relief, thinking the matter was resolved.
Little did they know, Jiang Kechu approached Yuan Mei Qin and Chen Jiahua with a cold and formidable presence that made them hold their breaths. They realized they couldn’t provoke this man, mother and son alike.
"I am not Wan Chu’er. I have absolutely nothing to do with you, so the matter of you kidnapping my daughter is not so easily settled. As long as you step foot on China’s soil, I will make sure you spend every day behind bars!
Here, I am the law, and the possibility of you dying miserably in prison is not off the table."
Yuan Mei Qin trembled inwardly, and gathering her courage, she asked, "What do you want?"
Jiang Kechu’s voice was chilling as he said, "I give you two hours. Disappear from China’s soil immediately. If after two hours or you ever appear in China again, the moment you step on this land, you will be arrested and jailed."
Did that mean they had to leave China and never return?
Yuan Mei Qin faced him and exclaimed, "You’re being too harsh!" The thought of never being able to return to her homeland was unbearable; this was her root.
Yuan Mei Qin was initially trying to gauge Jiang Kechu’s reaction, but as soon as her words fell, Jiang Kechu signalled the waiting police, who immediately lunged forward.
Chen Jiahua was picked up like a chick once again, he cried out, "Mom, let’s leave, I will never come back."
He was born and raised in M country, had little attachment to China; he only came because of his mother.
So, the conditions set by Jiang Kechu were not a problem for him; he didn’t want to end up in jail.
Seeing the police blatantly grabbing her, Yuan Mei Qin promptly decided to head outside, while Jiang Kechu remained expressionless, cold and menacing, showing no sign of stopping them.
"I agree, we will leave immediately, we already bought the tickets, we can leave right away!" she hurriedly shouted, fearing the unthinkable consequences of ending up in prison at her age.
Finally, under Li Shan’s scrutiny, the mother and son duo dejectedly boarded a plane headed to M country, never to return.
