The Calm That Comes With A Thought(30)
Jing Zhi noticed that after that night Shi Sheng seemed a little off. She would always be absent-minded. When he asked about her thoughts, she would only answer with a one-liner.
“Xi Xi,” Jing Zhi went to Shi Sheng. Before he could say anything, the main entrance was barged open by someone out of the blue. Zhu Feng rushed in with urgency.
“Young Master Jing, something’s happened.”
Jing Zhi’s brows furrowed, “what it is?”
“It’s Ye An… Ye An and Ye Ran,” Zhu Feng trying to catch a breath while pointing outside, “Someone insisted that Ye An is their son. Now they want to take him away.”
“Bring me there,” Shi Sheng said without an expression while walking toward the main entrance.
Zhu Feng hurriedly led the way.
Ye An was at a marketplace, where they bartered supplies with freedom. It was an area flooded with people.
On their way here, Zhu Feng had already told Shi Sheng when they passed by there.
Today they were going to roam around in that area and Ye An wanted to go out so they brought Ye An with them. Who knew they would meet a couple that stopped Ye An, saying that Ye An and Ye Ran were their son and daughter.
The couple started to make a scene after Ye An told them he did not know them.
Shi Sheng squeezed her way into the crowd, immediately recognizing the couple in dirty clothes. Though their faces were thinner, it was still recognizable that they were the ones on the album of the bakery.
“Sister.” Ye An hid behind Shi Sheng as soon he could when he saw Shi Sheng came.
“Who are you? Give me my son back!” The woman reached her hand to drag Ye An, “This is my son! You human traffickers, give me my son back!”
Shi Sheng took a step back while protecting Ye An, looked coldly at the woman, “Your son?”
The woman felt guilty unconsciously due to Shi Sheng’s exceptionally cold attitude, but recalling that they were her children, she convinced herself there was nothing to feel guilty about.
“They are my children. His name is Ye An, born on the 6th of May in 2014; and her name is Ye Ran, born on the 15th of October, 2012.” The woman shouted at the top of her lungs, “You give me my children back.”
The spectators began to whisper about it the moment they heard that.
“From what I see, these children do look a little like them. Are they really her children?”
“Yeah… they do look alike.”
“Look at these kids, cleanly clothed and fully fed, doesn’t look like they were suffering in any way. If my children get to be treated like this, I’d rather have them be raised by another person.” Someone said with deep gratitude.
The man holding the agitated woman, pleaded earnestly, “Please, I’m begging you, return our children.”
“They are our children, why are you begging them!” The woman screamed, “There is absolutely nothing wrong with us wanting our children back.”
Shi Sheng’s lips curved up slightly with a faint smile, “While you were running for your lives, abandoning them at home. Why didn’t you think about your children then?”
The woman and the man froze abruptly.
The spectators made a huge fuss after that statement.
Many people lived in the base since it was established, so they were with their families. The bonds and affection for their families still existed. It was something extremely shameful for someone to abandon their children.
“We…” The woman looked around to see the spectators were all pointing fingers at her, making her unable to come out with any words to justify her actions.
The man said with grief, “We went out to look for food. At first, we wanted to go back to get them after we found some food. Who knew that there would be a zombie wave at our home, making it impossible for us to return. We had no other choice at all.”
Ye An grabbed the hem of Shi Sheng’s clothes, looked across at his parents without saying a word.
“That’s right, we had no other choice. An An, it’s mommy, faster come here, mommy is here.” the woman wrung out a smile, “An An, I’m here to bring you and sister home.”
