From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 399: Jian Yubo’s Childhood Trauma (2)

After saying this, the woman tore up the record in front of the young boy. The record was incredibly important and precious to the boy.

The pages that were turning yellow were ripped into pieces. The pieces fell gently to the boy’s feet.

The young boy stared at the pieces in front of him. It was as though he was unable to process what had just happened. Then, he looked at his mother.

When the last piece of paper fell to the ground, the young boy suddenly pushed the woman in front of him. He did not know where he had gotten the force from.

It was a gesture of rebellion against his mother’s behavior.

However, the woman became angrier. How could a son push his mother?

The woman reached out and struck the boy.

One by one, the slaps fell on his body.

The woman kept asking the boy if he knew what his mistake was.

However, the young boy refused to answer.

As the woman raised her hand again, she accidentally knocked over the kettle of hot water that was on the table.

The boiling water tipped over the edge of the table and fell onto the back of the boy who was on the floor.

The pain was immediately transmitted from his nerve endings to his brain. It became a scar that lingered in the boy’s memories.

The falling pieces of paper and the burning pain on his back became a memory that was permanently engraved in his heart.

When she saw the scene in front of her, the woman knew that she was in trouble.

She panicked. She couldn’t let her parents-in-law know about this. She couldn’t let her husband know about this either.

If her parents-in-law found out, they would be even more dissatisfied with her.

She was already disliked by her mother-in-law. If her mother-in-law found out that she had beaten and burnt her child, she would be in an even worse position.

Her husband would definitely be angry as well. He would not approve of the way that she had been disciplining her child.

The woman hesitated for a while before she decided to call the ambulance to take her child to the hospital.

During her hesitation, she did not notice that the young boy on the ground hadn’t made a sound. He did not cry or scream in pain.

Later, the ambulance came and took the boy away.

The woman had lied to everyone in the family. She told them that she had enrolled her son in a summer camp.

She didn’t let anyone else in the family know about the incident.

In fact, she did not go to the hospital either. She didn’t want anyone to find out what she had done. Due to this reason, she had merely hired a carer to take care of her son.

The young boy stayed in the hospital for an entire week. No one else in the family knew about his condition.

When the boy returned home, no one in the family had noticed anything unusual about him either.

His father was still busy with his work. He still trusted his wife with his entire heart.

However, a little girl who was only two years old and crooked her head and asked him: “Does it hurt?”

She had seen him touching his back.

He hadn’t replied to her.

Then she said: “I’ll blow on your back. If I blow on it, it won’t hurt anymore.”

Later, when he turned seventeen, he took the opportunity to study elsewhere for university. He wanted to leave home.

However, he didn’t show his happiness.

She had asked him why he was unhappy. He had replied that he had no freedom.

Then, she asked him what he needed to have freedom.

He had replied casually that he needed money.

That year, the day before he left for university, he had received a parting gift from her. It was a suitcase.

There was a large sum of money in the suitcase.

A huge sum of money.

As the daughter of the Jian family, even at the age of nine, she had a lot of money.

The jewelry that her mother had bought her were all genuine goods.

Furthermore, everyone gave her money during Chinese New Year.

She made a thorough search through her possessions. She gave him all that she could find.

Later, he had sent her a message. He asked her why she had given everything to him.

She said that she didn’t need the money. However, he needed the money.

From that day, the young boy knew that the only family that he had was his sister.
