Early the next morning, Lin Yanyan opened her eyes that were as swollen as cherries and her dark eye circles were extremely deep.
She was still very sleepy and wanted to continue sleeping but she was woken up by the cries of the child.
She rubbed her tired eyes and looked in annoyance at Mo Ye who was wailing loudly.
“Stop crying!” She shouted at the child, then scratched her head as though she was about to fly into a rage.
If this carried on, she would be driven mad.
Mo Ye sulks and he kept pulling at his own clothes with his tiny hands while his small eyes were brimming with tears. His face already drenched with tears.
“Grandma…” Mo Ye would occasionally call for his grandma. He was too young to be able to say anything else and kept calling for his grandma.
It had been a long while since his grandma held him.
‘Who are you calling grandma?” Lin Yanyan pulled out a tissue and roughly wiped the tears off Mo Ye’s face, then carried him from the bed and stuffed him into the pram. “Stop calling for your grandma. She’ll never be able to hold you in the future and she’s not your grandma either.” Lin Yanyan said angrily.
She pushed the pram into the dining hall in her irritation where the chef had already prepared breakfast.
She pushed Mo Ye to a corner and ignored his cries while she quickly slurped down a bowl of noodles.
She was so hungry that she felt as though she’d die if she didn’t fill her stomach with food.
After she finished her meal, she scooped up a small bowl of congee and dug up a small spoon. Then, she scooped up a spoonful of congee and brought it to Mo Ye’s mouth.
Mo Ye was still crying and his face was so ruddy that it looked like a ripe tomato. He looked extremely pitiful.
Lin Yanyan didn’t care about coaxing him and stuffed the spoonful of congee into his mouth. He’d have to eat it whether he liked it or not.
“Finish it!” She yelled at the child and her voice was even louder than the wails of the child.
Mo Ye could tell that there was something in his mouth and he swallowed it sulkily. He was indeed hungry.
Lin Yanyan fed him a few more mouthfuls of congee. There wasn’t much nutritional value attached to this congee but she wasn’t in the mood to make a healthy breakfast for the child.
Suddenly, Wang An who was from the security department entered the house. He sighed and looked very unhappy.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Yanyan shot him a glance.
“It’s those from the Cheng family. Cheng Tao and his mother have both come and they’re insisting that they have to see the child. I already told them that Mr. Mo and the old madame are not available but they refuse to give in. They are so annoying; I really wish that I could shoot them dead.”
Lin Yanyan’s eyes widened at his words and her entire body shook from rage. She flung aside the bowl in her hand and clenched her hands into fists as she ran out and shouted at the mother-and-son duo outside who had banded together. “Are you going to leave or not? Are you trying to be like a guard dog guarding our house? What a bunch of lunatics!”
Lin Yanyan had enough of them and started scolding them loudly. Her voice was extremely sharp and her words were very crude.
They were truly a shameless pair and she was extremely irritated with the duo. They had already paid several visits to the Mo family home and didn’t even know how many times they’d been here. They were completely without shame.
The mother-and-son duo outside showed no reaction, as though they were used to being scolded.
Cheng Tao walked up to the metal gates and said with a cold laugh to Lin Yanyan, “Babe, we’re here just to see the child. Look, we even brought presents.” Then he pointed at a car that was parked nearby.
Lin Yanyan scoffed disdainfully. She was no longer interested in entertaining this shameless pair.
She reached out her right hand and pointed to the main road and said angrily, “If you have the ability, then sue us in court and we’ll see if the judge will let you have custody of the child.”
