Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1332 - 1215:

"Who permitted you to do that? And from where did you get the authority?"

Cutting into Xiao Jin’s words, Shen Yun’s eyes ignited with fury.

"If you truly want to know, it was a directive from officials of the relevant department instructing me to escort Jian to meet Mr. Davis."

His tone was completely level, his expression unreadable, Xiao Jin remained composed: "We have children at home, and it’s not advisable for parents to argue. You should attempt to manage your temper."

With that said, Xiao Jin indicated for Jian to return to his room to read, while he himself proceeded towards the study.

Shen Yun followed closely behind.

"He’s here to quarrel with me over Jian, aiming to snatch Jian away from me, do you understand that?" As they entered the study room one after the other, Shen Yun, still concerned about her son’s perception of her during their arguments, shut the study door. Only then did she confront Xiao Jin angrily.

However, as she spoke, her eyes began to redden, and a faint sheen of tears became visible.

"If the root of your argument with me lies in this reason, then there’s absolutely no necessity for you to become so agitated." Xiao Jin’s face remained impassive: "Mr. Davis stated that he has no intention of taking Jian with him."

"What? What did he say?"

Not taking Jian? Shen Yun harbored doubts. She hadn’t forgotten Austin’s words upon leaving the Shen family residence yesterday, specifically his mention of resorting to legal means to claim Jian from her.

Could this sudden shift in plans today indicate his concern that his family might disapprove?

The reason for this line of thinking stemmed from Mrs. Shen’s failure to inform Shen Yun about Austin’s prior conversation, such as his unmarried status.

Xiao Jin regarded Shen Yun with a questioning gaze: "Are you certain you comprehended correctly?" Had he not made himself clear?

"He… he mentioned yesterday about pursuing legal action to take Jian away, but today he altered his stance. Surely, he must have had second thoughts, perhaps worried his family wouldn’t give their consent." Shen Yun articulated her suspicions with a touch of coldness.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin inwardly shook his head and stated: "You are indeed overthinking the situation. The reason is that Jian expressed his unwillingness to go with his father, and Mr. Davis respects Jian’s wishes, choosing not to compel him.

Nevertheless, Mr. Davis entrusted me with a message for you: if he discovers you continue to neglect Jian or remain unconcerned about his upbringing, his next appearance will be in court against you."

"How could I possibly not be concerned about Jian?"

Shen Yun refused to concede that she had been overlooking her son Jian in their daily life.

"Are you absolutely positive you have been showing care?" Xiao Jin cast a glance at Shen Yun before moving to the back of the desk and taking a seat. He inquired, "Whether it concerns Jian or Xiao Xuan, have you truly fulfilled the duties of a mother? Do you possess any genuine awareness of this?"

"I am occupied with my work."

Her cheeks flushed, Shen Yun persisted in her defense and justification: "Given the demanding nature of my profession, securing a mere two days off per month is already a considerable achievement. Even those two days are often a luxury for me. You are fully aware of this reality.

As we are partners in marriage, with my demanding work schedule, the onus of childcare inevitably falls more heavily upon your shoulders. Do not tell me, at this juncture, that you harbor regrets!"

"Yes, your work is demanding, and finding time for rest is exceedingly difficult. However, even when you do manage to secure some free time, do you ever spare a thought for the children?"

He harbored no profound regrets regarding this marriage, yet it was devoid of any genuine happiness. His decision to marry her was merely for the establishment of a basic partnership in life.

It seemed suitable for two individuals.

One party, divorced with a son; the other, widowed with a daughter.

Such a blended family structure was quite commonplace.

Shen Yun felt a sense of embarrassment stemming from Xiao Jin’s words. Her gaze grew complex as she observed Xiao Jin for a moment, ultimately choosing to remain silent and turning towards the study door.

But just as she reached for the study door handle, she paused and looked back at Xiao Jin. A contemplative expression flickered in her eyes as she posed a question: "Is Professor Luo related to your family by blood?"

A sudden, sharp sensation pierced his heart, yet Xiao Jin’s countenance remained impassive: "Might I inquire as to the reason for your question?"

"Do you not find Professor Luo’s eldest son bears a striking resemblance to you? If Professor Luo possesses no familial ties to your household, then it must be his ex-wife who shares some blood connection with your lineage, otherwise, it would be improbable for Professor Luo’s eldest son to look so remarkably like you."

"It is not uncommon for two individuals with no relation to bear a resemblance in any country."

"Indeed, it is not rare, but is it not an extraordinary coincidence that this child bears such a strong resemblance to you? We reside as neighbors within the same complex, I am a colleague of Professor Luo, and you yourself once had dealings with Comrade Kang, who absconded with some ruffian…"
