Chapter 2406: Bad Temper (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“What do you mean?” Qiao Zijin’s expression changed. “That bastard! Is he trying to bully Feng Feng after marrying another woman?”

If that was the case, Chen Jun deserved to die!

“That’s not it, Madam Qiao. It’s impossible to settle this on-call, so please pay us a visit.”

“Fine, send me the address.” Qiao Zijin couldn’t care less about Chen Jun’s condition, but she couldn’t bear to let her son suffer.

Qiao Zijin had already made up her mind. If Chen Jun had the guts to treat Chen Feng like how he treated her, she would ask Qiao Nan for help. Even if she had to kneel before Qiao Nan and do everything Qiao Nan pleased, she would do it to protect her son.

When she had to go up against someone like Chen Jun, Qiao Nan was the only card in her hand.

Qiao Zijin was prepared for a rough battle as she ran through the worst possibilities in her head. However, when she arrived at the address, Chen Jun was the only one she saw in the isolation room. “What’s going on? Where is my son? I’m here to see Feng Feng.”

She knew that Chen Jun didn’t want to see her, and that feeling was mutual. To Qiao Zijin, Chen Feng was the only one that mattered.

Seeing Chen Jun instead of her son was really setting Qiao Zijin off.

“Hi, Madam Qiao. I am the lawyer working for Chen Jun, and I will be discussing the right of custody of your child.”

Qiao Zijin’s face sank when she heard that Chen Jun had hired a lawyer. “Is the Chen family trying to oppress us with the law? Do you really think that I am alone in this fight? Qiao Nan is my blood-bound sister, and she would take my side even if we are on bad terms. Is Chen Jun too stupid to understand that?”

Did he want to ditch Feng Feng and hand the Chen family over to his new son? Dream on!

“Madam Qiao, please calm down. That is not what we mean. Chen Feng is currently the only child of Mr. Chen.” The lawyer wasn’t surprised. Qiao Zijin wasn’t the first one that raised such a suspicion as there had been such cases in the past.

“Mr. Chen is ill, and his condition no longer allows him to look after his only son, Chen Feng. Therefore, he had no choice but to hand over Chen Feng’s custody to you. Do not worry about the Chen family’s inheritance. Mr. Chen had written a power of attorney to hand over all inheritance to your son, Chen Feng. Before Chen Feng reaches eighteen, we will be holding onto the inheritance. You will not have to pay for Chen Feng’s living expenses and educational fees, and all properties of the Chen family will be handed over once Chen Feng becomes an adult.”

“Are you sure?” Qiao Zijin was doubtful. “Why does it sound like a trap to me? What does Chen Jun want? Also, what illness does he have that puts him in an isolation room?”

What disease did Chen Jun have?

“About that…” The lawyer didn’t want to tell her. It was a rather embarrassing thing to say, both to him and Chen Jun.

“What is it? You couldn’t tell me on the phone, and you are still hesitating when I’m here. What exactly is going on?” The more the lawyer hesitated, the more suspicious Qiao Zijin became.

The pair weren’t married for a long time, but it was enough for Qiao Zijin to tell that Chen Jun was not a responsible man. If he were a dutiful husband, he wouldn’t have messed around with other women.

Although the inheritance was for Chen Feng only, Qiao Zijin was still skeptical about the offer. She was afraid that it was yet another sugarcoated trap.

She had to figure everything out before accepting the offer. It wasn’t just for herself, but for Chen Feng, too. She wouldn’t let greed steer her will of protecting her son.

Compared to her son, money didn’t seem that important anymore.

The lawyer let out a sigh. “How about meeting Mr. Chen’s parents? You were once a family, and it might be better to talk it out among yourselves.”

Since Chen Feng’s custody would soon belong to Madam Qiao, she had the responsibility to inform the elders.

As if it weren’t tough enough for the elders to see their son off, their only grandson had to leave. The lawyer figured that the elders would eventually follow their grandson after looking after Chen Jun for a while. After all, Chen Jun’s condition wasn’t looking good.

Of course, he could only keep these thoughts to himself. As a lawyer, he wouldn’t interfere with the Chen family’s personal matters.

It had been years since Qiao Zijin last met her son, so she agreed to meet the elders. When the four of them finally got together, Qiao Zijin couldn’t take her eyes off Chen Feng. The boy had grown taller, and he had a slim figure. The only problem was that he was looking more like Chen Jun, and that made Qiao Zijin slightly uncomfortable. She tried to convince herself that Chen Jun had a handsome face. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons she tried to steal Chen Jun from Qiao Nan was his looks.

Since her son got his looks from Chen Jun, he wouldn’t have to worry about finding a girlfriend in the future.

What shocked Qiao Zijin was the condition of Chen Jun’s parents. Just four years ago, the arrogant and condescending elders were full of life. Now, it seemed like their age had finally caught up as their once dark hair turned gray.

What disease did Chen Jun have to send the elders through such torment?
