Chapter 1473 Never Again
Iris watched the kneeling Long Hui. He looked sincere, but who knew what was going on in his mind?
But one thing was clear. He really did throw away his precious pride at this moment, especially inside his enemy's territory.
If he was really sincere, then Iris would give it to him for doing whatever was needed to maintain a relationship with his son.
She couldn't help but sigh. If only he didn't abandon the mother and son. Even if his relationship with Jiang Ying Yue hadn't worked out, at least they could have had an amicable co-parenting relationship without the need to push each other down. Unfortunately, he already made a series of bad decisions.
He lost the mother of his son. Now Jiang Ying Yue was happily married to Lin Yehan who accepted her for who she was including her son whom he treated like his own.
Perhaps Long Hui was beginning to realize his mistakes. Iris wasn't sure about what was going on inside Long Hui's mind at this very moment.
She examined Jiang Ying Yue's dumbfounded expression before looking at Long Tengfei.
The older man appeared conflicted seeing his firstborn son kneeling and begging in front of all of them. Maybe this was also the first time that he had seen his son like this. Thankfully, Long Tengfei didn't intervene. He stayed silent and didn't try to save his son from the embarrassment. Maybe Yang Jiahui's presence prevented him from acting on his paternal instincts of wiping his son's a**.
"Y-you…." Jiang Ying Yue didn't know what to say.
Long Hui gritted his teeth but still persevered. "I beg you, Ying Yue. Please don't stop me from seeing my son—our son!"
She looked at her husband.
Lin Yehan squeezed her hand, giving her support. "Up to you."
Taking a deep breath, she returned her eyes to the father of her child who was now kneeling in front of her. "Fine, Long Hui."
He released a big sigh of relief, but before he could stand up, she added, "But you must do what you promised just now—that you won't bother me and my husband anymore. You must also ensure that whoever you marry again in the future won't harm our child again. Little Jun has suffered too much. Our son doesn't deserve all this trauma that your ex-wife's family has caused!
"Child support also needs to be paid monthly as usual. I'll have to demand more from you this time because of what happened. Don't worry, I'm not a greedy person, you know that. We'll follow what the law stipulates you to pay. Also, rest assured that I'll only use it for our child's needs.
"We must also draft a revised visitation agreement for you. You must follow my rules if you want to continue seeing our son. If you ever violate any of them, then your visitation rights will immediately be terminated until our son grows up to the age where he can legally decide if he wants to have a father-and-son relationship with you or not. If you agree, then I'll allow you to maintain a relationship with our son as you wish."
Long Hui fell into deep silence.
Iris and the others sent Jiang Ying Yue approving looks. Dom and Meimei even gave her big thumbs up. They didn't care if Long Hui saw them or not.
Well, he didn't see them anyway because he was too busy considering Jiang Ying Yue's demands.
Lin Yehan's eyes softened as he looked at his wife with pride. Seeing everyone's support, Jiang Ying Yue straightened her back.
Screw her sense of inferiority! She would crawl on the bloody ground and fight into the deepest pit of hell if it meant that she could protect her son.
Never again would she allow her son and even herself to be bullied! Especially Little Jun. Her little boy was her life.
She would fight for her son to achieve the justice he deserved, even from his own father.
Long Hui owed it to their son.
And she would make sure that he would pay whatever their son deserved down to the last cent.
Finally, Long Hui seemed to have made a decision. He stood up from his kneeling position.
"Alright, Jiang Ying Yue," he said in a soft, resigned voice. "I'll follow your rules, but my only request is for you not to paint me in a bad light to my son."
She glared at him. "You think I'll brainwash my son to hate you? Long Hui, if I wanted to brainwash my son, he would have already hated you long ago and refused to recognize you as his dada. Don't lump me with your vicious ex-wife! I'm not that kind of person!"
"I...I…just please promise me, Jiang Ying Yue," he begged again.
She glared at him harder but still acquiesced. "Fine! You have my promise that I won't badmouth you to our son. But whether he grows up to love you or hate you will depend on your performance. Don't hurt him, and most importantly, don't let anyone from your side harm him again. If anything like this kidnapping happens again, then don't blame me if your son grows up not wanting to have anything to do with you!"
"Alright, I promise." He hesitated but still added, "Thank you, Jiang Ying Yue."
She gave him a stiff nod. "I'll have our lawyer contact you with the new visitation arrangements later."
Long Hui nodded. "Can I visit my son now?"
"Fine."
Jiang Ying Yue and Lin Yehan led the way to the medical wing. Long Hui followed them by his lonesome self.
Long Tengfei looked like as if he wanted to follow them, but Yang Jiahui pinched his arm, warning him with her eyes.
"Give them some privacy," she said. "We'll visit Little Jun later when the atmosphere improves. You'll just make the situation worse if you interfere."
He was reluctant but still nodded. "Let's visit our twin grandsons first then. I hope the Jin twins still remember us."
"Good idea." Yang Jiahui smiled. "It would've been better if our Lu twin grandsons came today as well."
