Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

Chapter 80 This time, I will not be absent from your lives again.

A flicker of panic crossed Si Mocheng's eyes, but he stubbornly insisted, "No, you misheard. I would never call you stepmother. Don't flatter yourself. I will only ever have one stepmother. Her name is Jiang Wu, not Jiang Liwu."

Jiang Liwu had reached the office door at some point. She went out and then peeked back in, peeking through the door and saying, "Oh, Jiang Wu is me too."

After a while, there was no more movement at the door. Realizing something, Si Mocheng hurriedly and fearfully headed towards the door.

The spacious corridor was empty except for Secretary Chen.

The other figure was gone.

Seeing Si Mocheng's furrowed brows and anxious search, Secretary Chen immediately said, "Mr. Si, Miss Jiang said she had something to attend to, so she left first."

"He's gone." Si Mocheng's voice sounded as if he had lost his soul.

Secretary Chen: "However, Ms. Jiang left her contact information and said that if you need anything, please let me know as soon as possible."

Do you have contact information? Si Mocheng immediately calmed down, his tense face indifferent and aloof. He pursed his lips and hummed in agreement, about to continue dealing with his work, but he couldn't help pausing and turning his head to give Secretary Chen a disapproving look. "Next time, speak in one breath."

Secretary Chen's forehead was sweating. "I'm sorry, Mr. Si."

When Jiang Liwu returned, she indeed found Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng both in a sorry state. When she asked Si Mocheng who had beaten him, and Si Mocheng did not reply, and the shoe prints on his body looked particularly familiar, Jiang Liwu had a vague guess. Sure enough, when Wei Xifeng and Fu Siyue sent her messages, they intentionally or unintentionally revealed their injuries, which made her completely certain that the three brothers had a fight behind her back.

"Why can't we talk things out? You're such a grown-up, how can you still act like a child?"

“You guys are all throwing punches and kicks without any restraint. Are you brothers or enemies? This is outrageous.”

"Did I ever say that a family should love and respect each other and be united? And yet, you all do this." Jiang Liwu frowned, her face cold and stern.

Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng lowered their heads after being scolded, unable to express their bitterness.

It was clearly Si Mocheng who started it, but it was indeed unethical for them to hide it first. Moreover, they couldn't tell their teacher or stepmother about this, otherwise their teacher and stepmother would find out about their little tricks to monopolize her affection.

What if the teacher or stepmother gets too angry and doesn't want to talk to them anymore?

Upon realizing this, they immediately panicked. As the eldest brother, Fu Siyue was the first to apologize, "Xiao Feng, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not setting a good example."

Wei Xifeng also admitted his mistake, saying, "Brother, this matter is clearly my fault. I was too irrational and impulsive. Once I lose my temper, I can't control myself. Please don't blame me."

There's no such thing as being strange between brothers.

“Yes.” The two looked at each other and smiled easily. Then, in front of Jiang Liwu, the good brothers bumped fists and hugged each other tightly, patting each other on the back to comfort each other.

Seeing this, Jiang Liwu's expression softened, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. That's more like it.

However, what she didn't know was that from an angle she couldn't see, Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng looked disgusted with each other, their expressions chilling, and they suppressed the urge to vomit. After hugging for a while, the two quickly separated.

Jiang Liwu continued applying medicine to the two of them. She placed a cotton swab on Fu Siyue's purplish-red lips, and Fu Siyue's lips and face twitched slightly. Jiang Liwu immediately became even gentler. "Does it hurt?"

"Hmm." Fu Siyue's long, black eyelashes drooped, casting a thin layer of blue shadow. His chiseled, handsome face, with its strong features, didn't show much expression, but a hint of vulnerability appeared.

Jiang Liwu's heart softened, and she gently blew on it for him.

Fu Siyue became even more obedient, not moving at all, her earlobes tinged with pink.

Wei Xifeng immediately broke the quiet and warm atmosphere by crying out, "Teacher, my eyes hurt so much!"

Jiang Liwu quickly looked over; the eyes are an important part of the body and cannot be damaged.

Wei Xifeng kept his eyes tightly closed, which only had a light bluish-purple ring around them, and looked aggrieved. "I can't open them a little."

"Relax, it's okay. Slowly open your eyes and let me see."

Jiang Liwu gently blew a cool breeze to soothe Wei Xifeng's discomfort. Wei Xifeng obediently did as she was told. His open eye was indeed redder than the other, with bloodshot veins. After a while, he blinked, and the redness in his eyes faded a little.

"It's nothing serious, you'll be fine soon."

"Teacher, my eyes hurt too."

"How can it not hurt? You're bleeding." Jiang Liwu used tweezers to hold a small cotton ball and wipe away the dried and undried bloodstains.

Wei Xifeng pouted, looking a little hesitant, "Will I be disfigured?"

Sure enough, how could a brat who boasts about being more handsome not care about his appearance? Jiang Liwu comforted him, "No, your brow bone isn't broken."

"What if it results in disfigurement and scarring?"

Jiang Liwu rubbed his face. "That's still handsome." Not only did it not damage his looks, but the scar on his brow bone added a wild and untamed charm to Wei Xifeng, making his already deep, beast-like eyes even sharper and more aggressive. He looked as dangerous as a thorny dark rose.

Wei Xifeng was overjoyed, his gloomy mood vanished.

Fu Siyue glanced at Wei Xifeng but said nothing, because he felt that Wei Xifeng was not the one who made him feel more threatened.

"Stepmother, have you seen Xiao Cheng?"

"What did Xiao Cheng say?"

"I left suddenly twenty years ago, but I promised that I would not disappear, that I would not leave, and that I would always stay by his side. But I broke my promise, so he is being a little difficult now."

Jiang Liwu looked at Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng with guilt. For her, it might have only been a short time since they separated, but for them, it was a full twenty years, at least a third of their lives had passed.

"I not only broke my promise to him, but I also broke my promise to you. I couldn't watch you grow up." Jiang Liwu's departure twenty years ago was inevitable, because she couldn't control it either.

“Stepmother didn’t break her promise. You only did it because of us…” Recalling the nightmarish explosion, Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng’s eyes reddened. Endless self-blame and regret overwhelmed them. They held Jiang Liwu’s hand tightly, feeling her warmth and real presence. The restless fear and unease in their hearts were gradually suppressed.

Jiang Liwu sighed softly, reached out and hugged her two sons, rubbing their heads. "Didn't I tell you not to blame yourself or carry any burdens? Even if that incident hadn't happened, I would still have left. I left so that I could reunite with you again, and this time, I will not be absent from your lives again."

Fu Siyue and Wei Xifeng hugged Jiang Liwu tightly, resting their chins on either shoulder, their voices hoarse and low, "Mmm..."

"Are you moving to Xiao Cheng's place today, Stepmother?"
