Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Painful Past (10)
Ji Tingyang and his family had stayed at the Lin Family home for a month before Ji Yiyun finally realized the three children were missing and came with her husband to the Lin home to take them back.
“At that time, we were just supposed to meet for a moment, but I never expected you to take the kids straight home to live for so long without even letting us know. I almost thought something happened to the three children, it almost killed me with worry,” Ji Yiyun began reproaching Mr. Lin.
“If you were really worried about them, you should have come looking for them that night, not a month later,” Mr. Lin said with a cold voice.
Ji Yiyun’s eyes flickered, “Anyway… anyway, I’m here now to take them home.”
“Since you don’t care about them and find them a burden, I can take care of them,” Mr. Lin said.
“No,” Ji Yiyun objected sharply.
When she caught Mr. Lin’s suspicious gaze, her tone became halting, “No matter what, I have custody of them, and it’s only natural for them to come home with me.”
She poked her head in the house, looking for the children, “Ji Tingyang, Ji Zeqiu, come out and go home with me, and remember to bring Ji Lanyue.”
“I don’t want to!” Ji Zeqiu loudly objected, “You’re the mean aunt who won’t let me eat, I don’t want to live with you.”
Ji Yiyun’s expression became somewhat stiff, “Auntie was wrong, from now on I will buy you whatever you want to eat, come home with auntie, okay?”
“We want to live with Grandpa,” Ji Tingyang also spoke up.
Ji Yiyun’s expression suddenly turned cold, “Come out! Let’s go back home!”
Ji Yiyun’s husband seemed to be running out of patience and directly pushed past Mr. Lin who was blocking the doorway, going in to grab the two children.
Ji Yiyun followed him and carried Ji Lanyue out.
“Stop right there, if you snatch the children like this, I will call the police!” Mr. Lin spread his arms to stop them.
“We are the children’s legal guardians, even if you call the police, what can you do?” The man was muscular and easily pushed Mr. Lin aside with one hand.
Mr. Lin lost his balance, his body tilting sharply. Before he could grab anything, he fell heavily to the floor, pain shooting through his body from his spine.
“Ah…” Mr. Lin clutched his back, his face twisted with pain, pale cheeks beaded with cold sweat.
“Grandpa!” Ji Tingyang
Ji Yiyun suddenly panicked, “Why did you push him so hard?”
“It was just a light push, who knew he would fall,” the man was also somewhat panicked.
“Forget it, let’s just take the kids and go,” Ji Yiyun said, holding Ji Lanyue and hurriedly descending the stairs.
The man grasped a child with each hand, pulling them forcefully as they left.
Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu’s heart-wrenching cries for their grandfather echoed from near to far until they faded away.
After about fifteen minutes, a servant who had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries returned home to see Mr. Lin lying on the floor in pain. Shocked, they hurriedly ran to help him, forgetting the groceries in their hands.
“Call… call the police…” Mr. Lin said with difficulty.
Not long after Ji Yiyun and her family returned home, the police followed and paid them a visit.
But after seeing Ji Yiyun’s custody documentation, they simply gave them a few words of advice and left.
“In the future, if you take the children home, you can’t be so extreme, you need to discuss it politely with their grandfather.”
“We know, we know, we were reckless this time, it will never happen again,” Ji Yiyun said with a smile, seeing the officers out.
Upon seeing the three terribly crying children behind her, her expression once again turned grim.
“Cry, cry, cry, that’s all you know how to do,” Ji Yiyun scolded.

If it hadn’t been for the need to have all three kids present to claim the inheritance, she most certainly wouldn’t have wanted to bring them back.
It was giving her a headache from all the noise.
Ji Yiyun left them in their room and went back to her own to rest.
Come evening.
Ji Tingyang had thought that Ji Yiyun, as usual, wouldn’t let them have dinner and had braced himself for hunger, but surprisingly, after the meal was prepared, she actually came to call them out to eat.
“Come over for dinner,” Ji Yiyun said, still in a bad mood.
Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu exchanged looks and carefully took their seats at the dining table.
Just as Ji Zeqiu’s chopsticks touched a piece of meat, it was snatched away in a flash.
Ji Zeqiu looked up just to see the little boy sitting opposite him grinning smugly at him.
Ji Zeqiu only knew that the little boy was his cousin, but he didn’t know his name.
He had thought this cousin was only targeting him, but when Ji Tingyang tried to pick up some vegetables, his were snatched away too.
Wu Yanghui tilted his chin up, giving them a look filled with a hint of provocation.
Ji Tingyang paused, then quietly whispered something in Ji Zeqiu’s ear.
Wu Yanghui, proudly eating his meal, continued to watch their every move, ready to snatch away the dish they wanted to eat next.
However, this time Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu reached out with their chopsticks simultaneously; Wu Yanghui could stop Ji Tingyang but not Ji Zeqiu.
Seeing Ji Zeqiu happily biting into the meat patty, Wu Yanghui’s face suddenly fell, and he angrily threw his bowl and chopsticks onto the table.
“Son, why aren’t you eating?” Ji Yiyun asked with concern.
“I don’t want to eat with them; make them go away,” Wu Yanghui threw a temper tantrum in his chair, kicking the dining table relentlessly.
The dishes on the table trembled, making dangerous and crisp clashing sounds.
“Alright, alright, I’ll have them eat in their room,” Ji Yiyun doted on her son, almost always yielding to his demands.
She put some food in Ji Tingyang’s and Ji Zeqiu’s bowls and then sent them back to their room, “You absolutely cannot come out until we’ve finished eating.”
“We won’t come out, I don’t want to eat with them anyway,” Ji Zeqiu huffed.
After he quietly ate a few bites, he couldn’t stop the feelings of distress welling up, “Brother, when will Grandpa come to take us home?”
Ji Tingyang thought for a moment, “Maybe he will arrive tomorrow.”
Last time it was also the next day when Grandpa had come to pick them up.
“That’s great, we can leave tomorrow,” Ji Zeqiu’s worried little face brightened again.
Even Ji Lanyue, lying on the bed, was giggling in delight.
However, the second day passed, then the third and the fourth… and they still hadn’t seen Mr. Lin come for them.
“Why hasn’t Grandpa come to pick us up yet?” Ji Zeqiu stood on the balcony, gripping the railing, nearly poking his head out.
“Of course, it’s because your Grandpa doesn’t want you anymore,” Wu Yanghui laughed behind his hand.
“Grandpa would never not want us!” Ji Zeqiu retorted loudly.
“Your Grandpa doesn’t want you, he doesn’t want you, doesn’t want you…” Wu Yanghui kept singing in his ear, making ghost faces.
Ji Zeqiu’s eyes welled up with tears, and with a wide-open mouth, he bit down on his shoulder.
