Chapter 272: Chapter 272

Ji Rui couldn’t describe his feelings; all he knew was that his chest felt like it was about to explode with anger!

He took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his inner rage and emotions, steadied himself, and refocused his gaze on the document.

This document was a secret contract. In fact, he had one too, only he was Party A.

And the holder of this document should be Party B and the intermediary.

Initially, when he saw the familiar name printed at the top of the contract, he still hoped it was a forgery by that crazy woman CoCo. But when his eyes landed on the final handwritten signature of Party B—Le Tong’s flamboyant signature that he could recognize even if it turned to ashes—it was like a heavy blow to the head!

So, all along, she knew that Baobao was her biological son!

So, all along, she had been scheming to get close to him, to get close to Baobao!

No wonder she became so soft-hearted whenever Baobao cried!

No wonder she would come back once a month to see Baobao even after leaving!

No wonder she was more anxious and diligent than he, as the father, when Baobao fell ill!

So, she is Baobao’s real mommy!

All those lingering doubts in his heart were given the most reasonable explanation by this contract!

No wonder Yang Sheng said she was unusual towards him.

Of course, she wasn’t ordinary. If she didn’t put on a good show, didn’t try to please him, how could she have any chance to get close to Baobao?

So, aside from her genuine affection for Baobao, was everything else about her towards him fake?

Including that night when she was drunk...

Including her care and consideration for him at the Ji Family...

Including her tenderness and companionship during this time...

Was all of it fake?!!

In Ji Rui’s heart, waves of turbulent emotions surged, drowning all sense and emotion in anger.

The door to the hospital room was pushed open at that moment, and the woman he deemed the most scheming and hypocritical—Le Tong—rushed in urgently.

"Mr. Ji, where’s Baobao?"

Under the dim light, Ji Rui could still see the brightness in the woman’s eyes!

Baobao, Baobao, since Baobao is your biological son, where on earth have you been enjoying yourself these past few days?!

Ji Rui narrowed his eyes at Le Tong, his gaze full of malice as the overwhelming anger in his eyes was just waiting to burst!

Le Tong, who rushed in, was focused entirely on Baobao, having no time to notice Ji Rui’s expression and abnormal behavior.

"Mr. Ji, where’s Baobao? Take me to see him quickly!"

Panting lightly, Le Tong spoke, already running to Ji Rui with one hand pulling his wrist, eager to have him take her to see her son!

Ji Rui remained seated, unmoving. The anger in his cold eyes exploded when it met her face full of excitement and thrill!

He suddenly stood up, staring fiercely into Le Tong’s eyes, his icy voice like a sharp dagger piercing straight into Le Tong’s heart!

"Ha, Le Tong, you’re amazing! I ought to award you the best acting prize! Five years, and you’ve finally remembered your son? Where have you been all these years? What happened, spent all the money? So now you’re back to see Baobao, planning to extort a big chunk out of me?"

Le Tong looked at Ji Rui in disbelief, stepping back two steps, her face pale.

"Mr. Ji, what are you talking about, I don’t understand!"

Ji Rui stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and cursed.

"Damn it, keep pretending! You are Baobao’s biological mother; you’ve known all along, haven’t you?"

Ji Rui, grabbing her hand, pressed her step by step into the corner.

"No... Mr. Ji, you’ve misunderstood..."

Face ashen, Le Tong, usually eloquent, was stammering and unable to speak clearly.

Ji Rui sneered, "Misunderstand? Le Tong, why don’t you tell me, how did I misunderstand? You and I had no prior acquaintance; why did you specifically come to work at the Ji Family? Weren’t you always able to drink a lot? That night, you actually got drunk? Was it because you wanted to climb into my bed and use that opportunity to get close to Baobao, right?"

Le Tong widened her eyes, her expression sorrowful, "No, it wasn’t..."

Ji Rui didn’t give her a chance to explain, pressing on aggressively.

"That contract, you were eager to sign it, weren’t you? But five million was far too short of the price you wanted, so you played hard to get, pretending to be noble and leaving, right?"

Le Tong closed her eyes slightly and shook her head, "No..."

Ji Rui still didn’t allow her a chance to explain but released her hand, placing both hands on the wall beside her, trapping her within his arms.

"Baobao got sick, this was your best time to perform, so you hurriedly came back, didn’t you?"

Le Tong no longer wanted to expend effort explaining because, from the anger in his eyes, it was clear he had lost all rationality.

His words were like knives cutting into Le Tong’s heart one after another.

"When you thought Baobao couldn’t be saved, you secretly left because Baobao no longer had any value to you, right?"

Devoured by anger, Ji Rui didn’t notice that Le Tong, pressed tightly against the wall, was gripping the wall edge with her hands, her forehead covered with sweat droplets the size of beans.

"When you heard Baobao’s surgery was successful, you knew your money tree had come back to life, so you rushed back, ready to play a good mommy again so I’d give you a good price, right?"

Ji Rui finally paused after questioning this far.

He glared at Le Tong, as if waiting for her response.

Le Tong gently closed her eyes, sighed a long breath, then seemed to use up all her strength to say. Content originally comes from novel✦fire.net

"Ji Rui, if this is all you think of me, then I must say, it’s tragic for Baobao to have a father like you!"

Ji Rui seemed like he was slapped hard, reaching out, shaking her shoulders in anger.

"You money-grubbing woman, to the extent of not even wanting your own son; what right do you have to say that about me?! I should feel tragic for Baobao to have a mother like you! So tell me, how much do you want? I’ll give you whatever amount, but take the money and get lost! The farther, the better!"

Dizzy from being shaken, Le Tong barely managed to open her eyes. Looking at the face in front of her that once made her infatuated and bore a great resemblance to her beloved son, she let out a bitter smile.

"Ji Rui, give me back Baobao, and I’ll give you back the five million!!"

Ji Rui yanked her away from the corner, forcing her to face him directly.

"Fifty million, I’ll give you fifty million, and you get lost!" Ji Rui shouted at her with a grim face.

But Le Tong, instead of being overjoyed by his words, felt her body go limp, collapsing weakly in front of him...

[The fourth Chapter, well, Boss Ji has thoroughly hurt Tongtong, let’s see how Zhu Zi will deal with it!!]
