Chapter 159 Which bastard did this?

Xia Yuhuan was taken aback upon hearing this.

His complexion became all mixed up.

No wonder he's Chi Shaokang's son; even his words are almost identical.

However, this father and son, one spoils his daughter-in-law, and the other spoils his daughter-in-law to an extreme degree.

Aren't they afraid of spoiling her and making her arrogant and domineering, causing them trouble?

"What's wrong?" Chi Yanzhou asked her when she didn't speak.

Xia Yuhuan then shared her thoughts.

Chi Yanzhou laughed upon hearing this, "You wouldn't."

He said earnestly, "You are kind-hearted, of excellent character, mature and steady in your thinking, and act with a sense of propriety. Even if we spoil you, you will never become that kind of arrogant and domineering person."

Xia Yuhuan: "People are fickle. How do you know I won't be blinded by power and turn bad?"

Chi Yanzhou said earnestly, "Anyway, I just believe you won't turn bad."

Xia Yuhuan: "..."

Okay, this conversation is going nowhere.

Chi Yanzhou's fervent support for her was almost obsequious.

She felt that whatever she said to him, he would ultimately side with her.

Although it may seem a bit mindless, it's undeniably delightful to watch.

"Alright, you stay and sleep with Xiao Jie. I'll go downstairs and help Mom cook." Xia Yuhuan said, turning around and going downstairs in a good mood.

She went to the kitchen, where Aunt Wang had already returned and was preparing dinner with Zhang Xianya.

Chi Shaokang stayed in the living room, talking with the two elders.

"Mom, Aunt Wang, I'm here to help! What tasks do you have for me? Don't be shy, just tell me what you need," Xia Yuhuan said with a smile.

Zhang Xianya wanted Xia Yuhuan to rest, but Xia Yuhuan anticipated what she was going to say.

"Mom, please don't tell me to go upstairs to rest. You're already so busy, it would be too much for me to go and rest."

"Just let me know if you need anything. I can help with odd jobs."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianya had no choice but to ask Xia Yuhuan to help pick the vegetables.

The three women busied themselves in the kitchen.

Many hands make light work, and the three of them quickly prepared dinner.

Before dinner, Xia Yuhuan went upstairs and saw that Chi Yanzhou and Xiao Jie were sleeping soundly. Not wanting to wake them, she went back downstairs.

Anyway, Chi Yanzhou's body is still weak, so he sleeps a lot and is relatively awake for a relatively short time. It is common for him to eat at off-peak times.

Fortunately, it's only been a couple of days, and things should return to normal in a couple of days.

The family sat down for a meal together. Grandpa Chi didn't cause any trouble or criticize Xia Yuhuan. The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite pleasant.

The group ate and chatted, and time flew by.

Xia Yuhuan finished eating first, but she was too embarrassed to leave the table, so she sat there and listened to their conversation.

Until Chi Yanzhou's shouts came from upstairs.

"Ayu, come quick! Xiao Jie isn't right. He seems to be sick."

Chi Yanzhou's voice was urgent.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan immediately got up and ran upstairs.

Upon hearing this, the others also instinctively looked upstairs.

Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang stood up at the same time.

"Mom and Dad, you eat first, we'll go upstairs and take a look."

"Your daughter-in-law has already gone upstairs, so what's the rush? Besides, he's not your own grandson, so why are you two being so eager?" Old Master Chi said with dissatisfaction.

Chi Shaokang's face turned cold upon hearing this.

"Dad, I've said it before, from the day Yanzhou adopted Xiaojie, he's been a member of our Chi family. You even promised me you'd treat him like your own son. What's going on now?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chi stiffened his neck and said, "What did I do wrong? What did I say wrong? He's not even my biological son, why do I need to care so much about him?"

"If you ask me, the most important thing is to let Yan Zhou get well soon and have a child with his wife."

Chi Shaokang ignored him, "Anyway, we treat Xiao Jie like our own son, so it's not right for you to say that."

Grandpa Chi watched the two figures run upstairs, feeling speechless.

He looked at Old Madam Chi: "Look at your good son. Now he's all grown up and capable. You can't say a word against him."

"It's a fact that Xiao Jie isn't their biological son. No matter how much he thinks about it, it won't change anything!"

Grandma Chi was speechless.

She sighed helplessly and said, "You're ruined by your mouth. Can't you just say less?"

“Xiao Jie is being raised by his eldest son’s family. They are willing to raise him as their own son, that’s their business, you don’t need to nag about it.”

"Knowing that Shao Kang won't listen to your rambling nonsense, why do you still say these annoying things? Can't you say something nice?"

Grandma Chi was speechless at Grandpa Chi's behavior, and even her words carried a hint of disdain.

Grandpa Chi was even angrier upon hearing this: "How did I say anything offensive? I was just stating the facts!"

"I'm saying all this for their sake. I'm trying my best to help them, but they don't appreciate it at all. They're such ingrates."

Grandma Chi: "..."

Well, this old stubborn man has been stubborn his whole life, there's no way she can change him, whatever.

Upstairs, Xia Yuhuan went upstairs and saw Chi Yanzhou with a tense expression and anxious eyes.

He Xiaojie, on the other hand, lay on the bed with a flushed face.

"Ayu, come quickly and check on Xiaojie. I just woke up and found that Xiaojie has a fever. I can't wake him up no matter how much I call him," Chi Yanzhou said hurriedly.

Xia Yuhuan quickly stepped forward, first feeling He Xiaojie's forehead, then taking his pulse.

"She was frightened and has a fever," Xia Yuhuan quickly diagnosed.

"We need to find a way to bring his fever down first."

As Xia Yuhuan spoke, she quickly went to the bathroom to wash a towel and then applied it to He Xiaojie's forehead.

The cold towel fell on his head, making He Xiaojie shiver slightly.

Xia Yuhuan didn't stop; she took off his clothes and pants to help him cool down.

However, when she took off He Xiaojie's pants and saw his swollen, bruised legs, she couldn't help but feel a wave of dizziness.

Chi Yanzhou quickly reached out and grabbed her: "Wife, how are you? Are you alright?"

Xia Yuhuan was fine; she was just agitated by the sudden sight of this scene.

Which bastard did this?

How could they be so cruel to a child!

"I'm fine. I will never let anyone who bullied Xiao Jie get away with it," Xia Yuhuan said through gritted teeth.

Chi Yanzhou was also very angry, his face solemn.

Does he think he's dead? How dare they bully his son!

When Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya came up, they were greeted by the cold faces of the two men, their faces filled with barely suppressed anger.

They were all startled. Had something serious happened to Xiao Jie?

"Daughter, what's wrong with Xiao Jie?" Chi Shaokang finally asked.
