Cold Haocheng smiled at Chu Yun, who rushed over, pulled down his pants, and gave his chubby little bottom a few sharp slaps!
Despite being hit, Cold Haocheng didn't cry or make a fuss; in fact, he even had a bit of a smug smile!
"You’re still laughing! You little rascal! Just wait and see how I deal with you today!"
Chu Yun twisted Cold Haocheng's arm and thigh with great force, gripping his flesh tightly.
This time, Cold Haocheng felt the pain, and his mischievous little face slowly began to contort. He wanted to run away, but at only three years old, Chu Yun easily pulled him back!
"Where do you think you're going? Want to run out and complain? Let me tell you, give up on that idea!"
Cold Haocheng struggled desperately, and his resistance completely enraged Chu Yun. She opened a drawer and took out a small box filled with a row of thin needles that gleamed coldly.
Chu Yun picked one up and stabbed it toward Cold Haocheng's thigh.
"Ah—" Cold Haocheng cried out and bit down on Chu Yun's hand.
"You dare bite me!" Chu Yun decided to grab a handful of needles and started poking Cold Haocheng all over!
"I'll teach you not to bite me! Not to bite me!" she said fiercely, stabbing him repeatedly.
Cold Haocheng sobbed and didn't dare move!
He looked at his mother in terror, not saying a word.
"Are you behaving now?"
Cold Haocheng stood in place, trembling slightly.
"Will you dare to do it again next time?"
Cold Haocheng shook his head.
Chu Yun then crouched down and patted Cold Haocheng's head, revealing a naturally harmless smile.
"Xiao Bei, Mommy will give you chocolate later. Did Mommy hit you just now?"
Cold Haocheng blankly nodded.
"Hmm?" Chu Yun's expression changed.
Cold Haocheng immediately shook his head.
"That's good. Mommy didn't hit you. As long as you don't tell anyone, Mommy will give you chocolate. But if you tell others..."
Chu Yun brought a box of needles in front of Cold Haocheng. "Mommy will stick these needles into your body! Then I'll throw you into the mountains to feed the tigers! Do you understand?"
Cold Haocheng nodded, trembling.
Chu Yun took a box of chocolate from the drawer and stuffed it into Cold Haocheng's hands. "Go play."
Cold Haocheng quickly ran away with the chocolate.
Chu Yun looked at her hand that had been bitten by Cold Haocheng. "This little rascal!"
She glanced at her vanity and thought about the mess on it. After all the chaos caused by Cold Haocheng, there were hardly any good items left, and now it was even more of a disaster!
At that moment, Chu Yun's phone rang. Seeing the number displayed on the screen, she furrowed her brows.
"Hello, Mom, what's up?"
"Xiaoyun, send me another two hundred thousand."
"What? You need money again? Mom, besides the allowance I give you every month, I sent you an extra one hundred thousand last month. Now you want another two hundred thousand?"
"Two hundred thousand is nothing for your Cold Family. Your sister-in-law is pregnant; she needs extra nutrition. That's your own nephew we're talking about, not like that child of yours who isn't even biologically yours!"
"Mom, Chu Yu still doesn't have a job. He got married, and the house and car were all provided by me. Now you keep asking me for money; don't you think that's excessive?"
"You ungrateful girl! I'm your real mother! Do you know how hard it was to raise you? Now that you've climbed the social ladder, you want to turn your back on us? Let me tell you, if you don't give me the money by tomorrow, I'll go to the Cold Family and demand it! Let's see if my son-in-law will give it to me!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yun closed her eyes in pain. Why did she have to be born into such a family?
Since marrying into the Cold Family, she had taken on all the family's expenses. When she was hospitalized after a car accident, no one cared for her. Now that she had become a wealthy lady, they were suddenly very close.
Chu Yun immediately transferred two hundred thousand to her mother's account; she didn't want her mother causing a scene at the Cold Family.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Cold Thunder returned home exhausted. He either had to work overtime or attend social events in the evenings, so returning at eight was considered early.
In just three years, he had aged significantly; the once bright young man now carried an air of maturity.
"Dad!" Cold Haocheng ran over as soon as he saw Cold Thunder come home.
Seeing his son, Cold Thunder finally revealed a rare smile, crouching down to pick up Cold Haocheng.
"Xiao Bei, have you been good today?"
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you."
"Is it that you want to buy a toy again? You already have so many toys."
"No..." Cold Haocheng hesitated before leaning closer to Cold Thunder's ear. "Mom... she... hit me."
Cold Thunder was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"How could Mom, who loves you so much, hit you?"
"Shh—Mom said I can't tell anyone. If I do, she'll throw me into the mountains to feed the tigers." Cold Haocheng lowered his voice.
In Cold Thunder's eyes, he often wasn't home, and the responsibility of educating and taking care of Cold Haocheng fell entirely on Chu Yun.
When they got married, Chu Yun had vowed that she would treat Cold Haocheng as her own.
She couldn't have children herself and only had Cold Haocheng as her one child. Moreover, this child was her only bargaining chip left in the Cold Family.
For both emotional and rational reasons, she would treat Cold Haocheng well.
Cold Thunder carried Cold Haocheng into the bedroom when Cold Haocheng suddenly said, "Dad, you go in by yourself. I'm scared."
Cold Thunder looked at his son, set him down on the floor, and walked into the bedroom alone.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a messy bedroom came into view, and Chu Yun was sitting on the bed, hugging her knees and crying.
"What happened?"
Cold Thunder quickly walked in.
Seeing Cold Thunder return, Chu Yun cried even harder and directly threw herself into his arms.
" Cold Thunder, Xiao Bei is so disobedient! He drives me crazy!"
"What happened?"
Cold Thunder gently stroked Chu Yun's back to comfort her.
Through her sobs, Chu Yun replied, "Look at what he did to my vanity! It's a complete mess, not a single thing is in order. I just scolded him a little, and he—he bit me! Look!"
As she spoke, Chu Yun extended her hand for Cold Thunder to see; there was a bright red bite mark on it, already oozing blood and slightly swollen.
"This little brat has even learned to lie! I only scolded him a bit, and he ran out telling everyone that I hit him! He even said he would report me! He said I would throw him out to feed the tigers! I'm so wronged!"
Chu Yun cried hard in Cold Thunder's embrace.
Cold Cold Thunder ghed silently; work had already drained him, and coming home to such troublesome matters was exhausting.
