Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Chen Bao Gets Locked in the Dark Room…
Li Lingyang even went out and slept with another woman, and she still hasn’t found out who that woman is…
A hint of venom flashed in her eyes, and before she could open her mouth, Chen Bao sighed again in sorrow, saying helplessly, “I know, it’s because I’m the bastard son of my useless dad, and I’m even older than your son. Grandma and Great-Grandma both said I stole the position of your son as the eldest legitimate grandson, so you really dislike me. I understand all this, and I’ll talk to Grandma one of these days to let me go live with her.”
Shen Jiangqing felt almost internally injured by the kid’s cunning words…
What kind of talk was that?
It made it impossible for her to use the moment as an excuse to discipline the little brat.
She had no choice but to swallow all her grievances and defend herself, “Chen Bao, Auntie doesn’t dislike you, Auntie knows you’ve suffered in the orphanage, Chengcheng should be more considerate of you.”
Saying this, she then asked Chengcheng to apologize to Chen Bao.
How could Chengcheng possibly understand Shen Jiangqing’s roundabout tactics?
His mouth pouted, and he flatly refused to apologize!
Of course, Chen Bao was not keen on his genuine apology, making a face before taking Doudou and turning to go upstairs.
A glint of spite flashed in Chengcheng’s eyes, and as Chen Bao walked towards the stairs, he stealthily stuck out his little foot, “Chen Bao, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have argued with you. Watch out for the steps, okay…”
Chengcheng thought he was being very discreet, yet Chen Bao suddenly turned and gave him a look.
That look was sharp and cold, not at all like what a four-and-a-half-year-old should have…
And when coupled with his face, which eerily resembled Li Lingyang’s, for a moment, Chengcheng felt as if it was his daddy staring at him!
Overpowered by the intense aura, Chengcheng’s heart clenched.
In that instant, he didn’t know what happened, but it seemed as if he tripped over something himself. His head tilted, and he smashed down onto the steps.
Chengcheng let out a painful scream, his entire forehead smashing hard against the step.
“Ah—”
“Chengcheng—” Shen Jiangqing did not expect this accident and hurried over, stumbling as she scooped Chengcheng up.

Chengcheng’s head wasn’t broken open, but it was badly swollen, and he wailed, pointing at Chen Bao, “Mommy, it was brother who pushed me! Brother pushed me…”
Shen Jiangqing’s eyes darted around, and she immediately barked at Chen Bao with a dark tone, “Chen Bao, even if your brother mouthed off at you a few times, you can’t be so malicious? At such a young age, thankfully it was a wooden step. What if it had been stone? Did you ever think about what would happen to your brother?”
Chen Bao’s cool little lips pursed, and without bothering to explain, he retorted, “He fell over by himself, what does that have to do with me?”
“You’re still arguing! Chengcheng is four years old, can’t he even walk properly? I… If I don’t educate you properly today, how will you turn out when you grow up?” Shen Jiangqing steeled her heart, knowing full well Li Lingyang wouldn’t be back tonight, and directly ordered the servants, “Take him to be locked up, and he doesn’t get out until he admits his wrongs!”
Doudou panicked when she heard this; although being locked up wasn’t exactly severe punishment, they had just finished school and hadn’t eaten yet…
She was so hungry!
But before she could even gesture, she was interrupted by Chengcheng’s small fists, “Wuwuwu, didn’t you see I’m injured? What are you standing around for, get me some medicine!”
Doudou was dragged away, only able to watch helplessly as the servants took Chen Bao away.
Chen Bao too stood his ground, head held high full of arrogance, neither pleading nor backing down, following the servants to the small, dark room.
Shen Jiangqing opportunistically had the servants take away all the electronic products on Chen Bao, to prevent him from complaining to Li Lingyang.
Even if Li Lingyang found out later, she wasn’t afraid.
Chengcheng getting hurt was a fact, and it was only right for her as a “stepmother” to discipline the child.
The resentment in her heart had to find a way to be vented, or she truly felt like she was going to suffocate.
Chengcheng’s forehead was swollen, with a clear imprint of steps on it. Shen Jiangqing gently applied an anti-swelling and bruise-removing ointment, coaxing him for a good while.
Chengcheng soon stopped crying, his eyes sullenly fixed on Doudou, “If you dare tell Daddy on me, I’ll beat your Beile to death with a stick tomorrow!”
Doudou played with Beile every day.
Beile was a Jack Russell, bursting with endless energy every day, turning dog walking into being walked by the dog, and forming a profound friendship with her.
The little girl pursed her lips, her troubled brows frowning into a knot, glancing occasionally towards the confinement room on the third floor.
It was so dark in there, with no windows; she wondered if Brother Chen Bao would be very upset?
“Chen Bao is too willful, giving him a lesson to remember can be a good thing, Doudou, come, Mommy had someone stew fish soup, you try it first.”
Finally, there was one less annoying little thing at the dining table, and Shen Jiangqing found Doudou more pleasant to look at.
Doudou dared not refuse to drink, fearing that Shen Jiangqing would hurt Beile as well.
But the fish soup was too hot, nearly numbing her tongue as she drank…
Shen Jiangqing continued to serve her a second bowl with a smirk.
Doudou was already full, her tongue still in discomfort, but Shen Jiangqing just smiled and insisted she keep drinking; otherwise, she would beat Beile to death.
Doudou, lips pale, shakily held up the small bowl…
Of course, Chen Bao couldn’t possibly apologize to Shen Jiangqing and kept being locked in the dark room.
The next morning, after mealtime had passed, Shen Jiangqing let him out, and he went to school with Doudou and Chengcheng.
Chengcheng strutted proudly, like a victorious rooster.
Doudou saw Chen Bao’s pale, sallow face and quickly offered him the small bun she’d hidden away.
And so, Ningning discovered Chen Bao’s terrible state.
…
At the Li Group, inside the president’s office on the top floor.
Li Lingyang had the lawyer draft an agreement, detailing the property settlement and child custody arrangements after his breakup with Shen Jiangqing.
It was imperative to break up with Shen Jiangqing, and now the task was to minimize the damage to the children.
“President Li, will you also give Miss Shen that villa in Royal Dragon Bay?” The lawyer asked in surprise when he heard this.
Li Lingyang replied indifferently, “She and the children have lived there for five years; moving abruptly might be uncomfortable for them, so give her the villa as well. Draft a preliminary contract and send it to my email as soon as possible.”
“Yes, President Li.”
The lawyer nodded, just about to ask something more when, out of the blue, his phone suddenly rang…
It was actually Ning Yichu calling!!
Li Lingyang’s eyebrows raised with a hint of playfulness, “Ning…”
“Li Lingyang! How can you raise children like this? You actually let Shen Jiangqing lock Chen Bao in a dark room and not feed him! Do you know what this means to a child? I’ve never seen a scumbag father like you…” Li Lingyang was about to speak when he was drowned out by the woman’s scolding.
Li Lingyang’s brows furrowed, his handsome face dark with anger, “How am I unaware of this?”
“Ha, unaware? You’re with Shen Jiangqing every day, how could you not know? Chen Bao doesn’t have a mother, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t loved! I was furious when Ningning told me. If you really don’t know how to raise a child, you might as well hand him over to Grandmother, or I can help you take care of him…”
