Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383: So It Fell Into His Hands (9)

Outside, someone shouted, "Zicong, it’s me, I brought you breakfast."

Hearing the voice of a strange woman, the two children woke up from a nightmare, and with a loud swish, lifted the blanket and sat up from the floor.

Wa Zicong turned back and gave them a meaningful look.

The two little ones locked eyes with him.

Wa Zicong said to him, "She’s a woman who hates your mom very much. What do you think she’ll do to you?"

Isabel, hearing this, was scared and about to cry again, tightly clinging to the clothes of the second monkey child, "Xiaobai, are we going to be miserable—"

This young lady seemed certain that women were more ruthless than men.

The second monkey swallowed hard, "My dad and mom will come to my rescue—"

Wa Zicong snorted coldly, knowing the child resembling a polar bear was clearly at his limit of tolerance. He reached out, pulled, and opened the door.

Standing at the door with breakfast, Lin Yishan smiled at him, her expression reflecting an intriguing significance. She couldn’t help but glance behind him, and then saw the two children sitting on the floor. This shocked her so much she almost dropped the breakfast box on the stairs.

"Who are they?" Lin Yishan asked, noticing one of the boys looked a bit familiar, then gazed somberly at Wa Zicong’s face, "I know, you haven’t had a woman for years."

"Look again." Wa Zicong teased her.

Lin Yishan entered the room, observing the two children again, and as she looked, she saw something in them: "This boy, looks like my younger uncle?"

"Do you still call him uncle?"

"No, I know that I and him, and his family are no longer related. You could say they are enemies now, it’s just for convenience in calling. Besides—" Lin Yishan squinted at the second monkey child’s face, "This kid, if it weren’t for those things, he’d count as my relative, right?"

Second monkey pounded through the heap of words she spoke and guessed roughly who she was: "You’re my third aunt’s person—"

"A child could understand so much." Lin Yishan smiled, "It seems your mom is a bone demon, you, you’re the child of the bone demon, the same as a little imp."

"Hmph." The second monkey pouted defiantly, "You’re no good either."

"Whether I’m good or bad, everyone has their own standards for judgment. In your mom’s eyes, I’m no good, and likewise, your mom is no good in my eyes either."

"Your slick tongue can’t erase the facts, can’t erase your bad deeds."

"What bad things have I done?"

"You, you—" The second monkey struggled to use every bit of his memory.

This child seemed very smart, knowing that if he mentioned her stealing his mom’s boyfriend back in the day, wouldn’t it show his mom as incompetent?

Lin Yishan chuckled, opened the breakfast box, and sighed, "What to do, I didn’t know there were two small mouths here, only bought you breakfast."

"It’s okay if they don’t eat. Last night I gave them something to eat." Wa Zicong said.

Their little faces fell right there on the spot. That bit of small bread they ate last night was already digested. Isabel started crying, "I, I won’t dare be picky about food anymore, boo hoo hoo—"

Second monkey pouted, "I never waste food."

Lin Yishan seemed moved by compassion, picked out the egg from the meal box with chopsticks, cut it in half, and handed it to the two kiddos, "Fine, I’ll let you eat some first. Aunt is not as ruthless as Uncle, I’ll go get you something to eat later."

Isabel, holding back her tears, finally couldn’t stand her hunger any longer, grabbed that half of the fried egg with her small hand, and stuffed it into her mouth.

The second monkey stared hard at this woman in front of him, trying to catch some flaw from her face.

Lin Yishan smiled at him, "You’re not eating? I see you’re not such a foolish child."

Second monkey huffed, "Give me a fork."

Lin Yishan covered her mouth to laugh, "Did your mom teach you that? Really interesting."

What a bitch!

Lin Yishan walked back, naturally not giving the second monkey a fork, walked to Wa Zicong’s side, put her hand on Wa Zicong’s shoulder affectionately leaned her head over, her fingers caressing Wa Zicong’s shoulder said, "Are you interested in that painting?"

"You know about this painting?"

"Aren’t you asking me?"

As these two chatted, the second monkey perked up his ears, eavesdropping every bit attentively. He recalled that before, when third aunt brought the painting to his mom and dad’s place, she mentioned it seemed like his painting was taken by this woman.

No, he must hold it in and not let these two bad people know.

Wa Zicong turned to look at her face, "Do you have this painting? As far as I know, it’s said there’s another painting, possibly in someone’s hands for auction, is that you?"

Lin Yishan shook her head, "How could it be me? I wouldn’t do something so foolish."

"Did you see any issues with this painting?"

"My father’s people have said, works like these are dowries left by the Xiao Family for their daughter, so surely it hides some of Ruan Ruzhen’s secrets."

Ruan Ruzhen, that mysterious woman, just what secrets did she hide?

"According to my father’s investigator, it’s related to a key." Lin Yishan said.
