Chapter 285 Mommy Dearest!

Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Mommy Dearest!

Shen Zhaonan thought it was his assistant, so he went over and opened the door. When he saw the person standing at the door, his back stiffened, "Why are you here?"

The woman at the door was wearing a camel-colored, hand-made cashmere coat and high heels, stepping straight in with a frigid tone, "If you can be here, why can’t I?"

The woman’s chestnut ear-length hair stood out against her delicately made up face with blazing red lips that were strikingly visible. Only after she walked in did they see Han Jiangxue standing by the sofa.

Without waiting for the woman to speak, Han Jiangxue struck preemptively, questioning Shen Zhaonan, "Shen Zhaonan, is this the reason you were so eager to divorce me?"

No wonder then. Shen Zhaonan had been so affectionate and trusting towards her before, how could he talk about divorce over just this little matter? Now that she saw the woman standing here, she felt she understood everything.

Once this thought formed in her mind, Han Jiangxue sized up the woman. In terms of beauty, she felt the other was not even as pretty as herself, it was just that the clothes and accessories she wore were more valuable.

And these things were very likely bought with Shen Zhaonan’s money.

"You just walk in so bold and brazen, don’t you think it’s unreasonable? I won’t get divorced from my husband, and you should stop dreaming," Han Jiangxue said, her tone more overtly dismissive and scornful.

Shen Zhaonan frowned and snapped coldly at Han Jiangxue, "Han Jiangxue, shut up!"

"Ah Nan~" Han Jiangxue was stunned, she didn’t expect Shen Zhaonan to yell at her in front of this kind of woman.

"Slap! Slap!"

Two crisp sounds echoed throughout the room.

Han Jiangxue hadn’t even had time to react when she felt a burning pain on her cheeks. She never thought the ’Mistress’ would dare to slap her face right in front of Shen Zhaonan.

And two slaps, no less!

Han Jiangxue was so angry she was biting her teeth, lifting her hand to hit back, but the woman grabbed her arm, flinging her onto the sofa.

"What do you think you are? By what right do you hit me?" Han Jiangxue shouted at Dong Yan through gritted teeth after being thrown onto the sofa.

"Dong Yan! That’s enough!"

Dong Yan was about to slap Han Jiangxue again when Shen Zhaonan stepped forward and pulled her away, "Enough!"

"Shen Zhaonan, for this kind of woman, are you still pitying the jade and cherishing the fragrance?"

Shen Zhaonan’s brow furrowed, avoiding the topic, "What are you doing here?"

Their dialogue made Han Jiangxue feel exceedingly humiliated. Holding her face, she looked hurt and resentful, "Shen Zhaonan, no matter what, I’m still your lawful wife. How can you conspire with an outsider to bully me..."

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue started crying again.

Dong Yan clenched her teeth, her eyes full of disgust and contempt for Han Jiangxue. She harshly said to Han Jiangxue, "Trash like you thinks everyone else has the same filthy and despicable thoughts as you? Keep faking it and don’t blame me if you can’t even crawl up today."

After saying this, Dong Yan grabbed Han Jiangxue from the sofa and hissed, "Hitting you because you don’t behave like a human. My son, raised so well by his grandmother, was exploited by an evil stepmother like you. You used him to gain attention without a care for his health. Are you even human? Do you have a heart?"

Han Jiangxue’s complexion suddenly turned ashen, becoming deathly pale. This... this woman was Shen Yibo’s biological mother?

Han Jiangxue took a deep breath, suppressed the guilt in her heart, and quickly regained her composure and rationality, "If you love your son so much, why didn’t you take him with you when you divorced? Now, you’ve come to play the loving mother and son in front of his stepmother? No matter what you say, I am Shen Zhaonan’s lawful wife, and legally speaking, I am Yibo’s mother too. Why are you being so arrogant in front of me?"

If this woman really cared for the chubby boy, why didn’t she take her own biological son with her when she divorced Shen Zhaonan? If she had left with him, she wouldn’t be in the midst of a divorce with Shen Zhaonan now.

Shen Zhaonan couldn’t stand it anymore, "Han Jiangxue, since you’ve delivered the clothes, you can leave now."

He was extremely annoyed by company matters already, and now watching these two women argue only made Shen Zhaonan feel even more irritated.

"I should leave? After I leave, are you and this woman going to rekindle your old flame?" Han Jiangxue was blunt, and with things having come to this pass, she had nothing to hold back.

"Daddy, Mommy! What are you fighting about?" Shen Yibo emerged from his room, rubbing his chubby hands over his eyes. Seeing the ’strange woman’ in the living room, he felt she looked familiar but couldn’t remember when he had seen her before.

Dong Yan walked up to Shen Yibo, squatted down, and gently touched her son’s chubby cheeks, smiling faintly, "Yibo, Mommy’s good boy, you..."

As Dong Yan spoke, she began to choke up; she hadn’t seen her son for over three years, and now he didn’t even recognize her.

Shen Yibo blinked at Dong Yan, asking hesitantly in his baby voice, "You... are you my mommy? My real mommy?"

Dong Yan nodded, "Yes, I’m your mommy, your real mommy!"

Upon hearing that she was his biological mother, a flicker of surprise crossed Shen Yibo’s face, followed by joy. He looked up at Shen Zhaonan and Han Jiangxue who stood not far away, and asked, "Daddy, is she my real mommy?"

The little guy knew the difference between a biological mother and an evil stepmother.

Seeing his biological mother, the little one felt a strange sense of kinship growing inside him. He longed to hug his mommy and stop her from crying, but he was a bit scared to do so.

Because Daddy and the ’evil stepmother’ were still there.

Shen Zhaonan pursed his lips, struggled inwardly for a moment, then finally nodded, "Yes, she is your real mommy!"

Shen Zhaonan’s answer was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Han Jiangxue. Since meeting Shen Zhaonan, she had never heard him talk about his ex-wife, nor had anyone mentioned Yibo’s biological mother. Now, with Shen Zhaonan admitting this in front of her and Yibo, didn’t it mean that now that the real mother was back, she, the evil stepmother, should pack her bags and leave?

After getting a positive response, Shen Yibo immediately threw himself into Dong Yan’s arms, "Mommy!"

I missed you so much; Yibo really missed his real mommy.

When he started talking, he had asked his grandmother why all the other kids had mommies, but not him.

His grandmother had said, "Yibo has a mommy, but mommy is busy with her career abroad, doesn’t have time to come back to see Yibo. You are not a child without a mommy."

Later, Daddy brought Han Jiangxue home and said she was his mommy. At first, he thought Han Jiangxue was his real mommy, until one day he learned from a maid at home that Han Jiangxue was actually his stepmother, not his biological mother.

Every time the evil stepmother was mean to him, he would secretly long for his real mommy. And now that his real mommy had finally appeared, it was truly wonderful!
