C4 Just Two Bastards!

Tears welled up in Soong Qingrou's eyes from the pain. Catching sight of the person behind Soong Qingyue, she swiftly altered her expression and struggled to say, "Sis, I know you still hold a grudge against me for not taking the fall for you back then. But that's all in the past now. You're still the First Miss Soong. Why continue to harbor resentment towards me?"

"Soong Qingyue, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Soong Qingyue was forcefully pushed aside, nearly tumbling to the ground with Erbao in her arms.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Soong Dabao glared at Ye Qingchuan, his anger palpable. "Why did you push my mom? You're completely lacking in gentlemanly manners. Didn't your mother ever teach you to be considerate towards girls?"

Ye Qingchuan looked down at the little boy, hardly as tall as his own legs, then cast a glance at Soong Qingyue, "Is this the son you've raised?"

Soong Qingyue stepped in front of Soong Dabao to protect him.

Her heart twinged with pain at the sight of Ye Qingchuan once more.

Taking a deep breath, Soong Qingyue retorted, "What if he is? What does it have to do with Mr. Ye?"

"They're nothing but bastards, bastards who've been in jail at that. I'd prefer they had no connection to me whatsoever."

Despite Ye Qingchuan's icy tone, Soong Qingyue couldn't help but feel her eyes sting. She responded coolly, "You're worrying too much, Mr. Ye..."

Before she could finish, Soong Qingrou affectionately looped her arm through his, asking, "Qingchuan, what brings you here?"

"I came to wait for you," Ye Qingchuan replied softly, stroking her hair.

Soong Qingyue was aware that Soong Qingrou was doing this deliberately.

She wanted to show her who really held Ye Qingchuan's affection.

Soong Qingyue had thought her heart had turned to stone when Ye Qingchuan personally sent her to jail three years ago.

Yet witnessing this scene, the pain was still there.

Soong Dabao sensed his mother's distress and squeezed her hand, reassuring her, "Mom, it's okay. You've got us. I'll find you the most handsome and wealthiest husband in the world, just to infuriate certain people. Hmph!"

Even though Soong Qingyue was aware that Soong Dabao was deliberately speaking for Soong Qingrou to hear, her heart couldn't help but feel warm. She had a bright and adorable son, and a daughter who was well-behaved, albeit not fond of speaking. That was all she needed. Whether or not the children's father was Ye Qingchuan didn't matter to her. She was unconcerned.

Soong Qingyue was tired of witnessing their affectionate display and spoke up, "Weren't we supposed to be heading home? Why are we still standing around?"

Before Soong Qingrou could respond, Ye Qingchuan's icy voice cut in, "Soong Qingyue, who gave you permission to speak to Qingrou with such disrespect?"

"May I ask, Mr. Ye, what's wrong with my tone? Is Soong Qingrou so fragile that she can't handle a few words?" retorted Soong Qingyue with a hint of sarcasm.

Soong Qingrou quickly tugged at Ye Qingchuan's arm, "Qingchuan, let it go. It's understandable that Sister has a temper after three years in prison."

"Qingrou, you're just too kind. In my opinion, three years was far too lenient. She should spend a lifetime behind bars," he replied coldly.

Ye Qingchuan's eyes bore into Soong Qingyue, his disdain for her clear as day. If it hadn't been for her, he would have married Qingrou instead.

"Qingchuan, please don't say such things, Sister will be hurt," Soong Qingrou said, feigning innocence.

"She? Does she even have a heart? She's capable of murder and had two illegitimate children while in prison. Someone like her doesn't deserve to be your sister," Ye Qingchuan said bluntly, showing no regard for Soong Qingyue's feelings.

He seemed to have forgotten that she was once his wife.

Drained of the energy to continue this verbal sparring, Soong Qingyue declared, "If you're fond of this place, by all means, stay. I'm leaving."

Two cars were parked not far away. Ann Yun and Soong Yi were sitting in the first car, having not stepped out at all.

Soong Qingyue made her way to the second car, opened the door, and settled Dabao and Erbao inside. The car then slowly pulled away from the prison.
