For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...
Xie Jing was startled, remembering what Brother Fan had said: someone was also looking for Lin Zhida. Who were those people? Zhou Zhida and Fang Qin's behavior yesterday didn't seem like they had known about Lin Zhida's existence.
As for Zhou Jiwen, he was just surprised at the beginning. Otherwise, he was very silent, and his silence was so weird.
Xie Jing's thoughts were extremely diverse. Zhou Jiwen noticed Xie Jing's gaze and exchanged glances with her. "Why are you looking at me like that, sister-in-law?"
Xie Jing came back to her senses: "I was just thinking, when Zhida showed up yesterday, you didn't seem surprised at all."
Zhou Ji paused when he heard this. He had long known that Xie Jing was careful and intelligent, but he had not expected that she had noticed his expression during the chaos yesterday.
Fang Qin looked at Zhou Jiwen, her eyes full of questions. Zhou Jiwen had carefully analyzed the pros and cons with her yesterday, and she was not blind to the situation. After all, Lin Zhida was still young, and it was difficult for him to threaten Zhou Jiwen's position.
The reason why she made such a fuss yesterday was simply because she couldn't accept the fact that her husband had been cheating on her for a long time.
Zhou Jiwen's expression remained calm: "I was also surprised, and even sad, but my emotions were too delayed, and I'm not used to showing emotions in front of others."
Xie Jing nodded slightly: "I misunderstood my cousin. I apologize to you."
"Why should we be so distant as family members?" Old Master Zhou said, "Ji Wen is right. You should rarely show your emotions in front of others. You want to be unpredictable."
Zhou Jiwen nodded: "Grandpa, I'll take note."
Zhou Zhida glanced at Lin Zhida who was standing next to the old man. He didn't even look at Fang Qin: "I plan to go see Lin Nan."
Fang Qin suddenly stood up, and Zhou Jiwen also stood up. He supported Fang Qin and said, "It's time to go see him. Dad, Mom and I will go with you."
Fang Qin wanted to object, but Zhou Jiwen forced her to sit down: "Don't worry, I'll go with you. We agreed on this last night."
How could he let Fang Qin and Zhou Zhida quarrel again? It was understandable that Fang Qin and Zhou Zhida quarreled last night, but if they quarreled again today, it would only push Zhou Zhida further away.
If she pushed Zhou Zhida away, she would fall into Zhou Jiyun's trap. No matter how unbearable the truth was, Zhou Jiwen wanted Fang Qin and Zhou Zhida to live in harmony!
Then it is inevitable to accept this child named Lin Zhida. Instead of being forced to accept it, it is better for him and Fang Qin to take the lead in showing their attitude.
Zhou Jiwen said softly, "We're going to the hospital to see your mother soon. Does Zhida want to go with us?"
Lin Zhida looked at Zhou Jiwen, then at Zhou Jiyun, "I want to go, isn't big brother going?"
Zhou Jiwen's smile faltered for a moment, and Zhou Jiyun had already smiled. He put down his fork and said, "If Zhida wants me to go, I'll go with you."
Mr. Zhou didn't care what Zhou Jiwen thought, but his attitude was very clear: "Then Jiyun, you should accompany Zhida for a trip. Go early and come back early."
Zhou Jiyun naturally agreed: "No problem, I will definitely bring Zhida back safely."
Zhou Jiwen looked up, and Zhou Jiyun didn't shy away. They looked at each other and then looked away. Zhou Jiyun tightened his cuffs: "Jingjing, do you want to go with us? You haven't met Zhida's mother yet."
Xie Jing glanced at Fang Qin. Seeing that her face was about to be distorted, but she couldn't help but smile, "Then I'll go with you. It's a rare opportunity to rest, so I'll accompany you for a while."
The old man thought for a moment and said, "You go and check on her condition. If she can be saved, then of course you should do your utmost to save her. If she can't be saved, then... at least give her a decent treatment."
He spoke cryptically, but everyone understood his meaning. Fang Qin gritted her teeth. She naturally hoped that Lin Nan would not be saved. If Lin Nan died, he would only leave behind a little cub.
The old man could protect him for a while, but could he protect him forever? When the old man was gone, she would always have the opportunity to deal with this brat.
But if Lin Nan woke up, or even became disabled, how could Zhou Zhida just leave her alone? So it would be better for Lin Nan to die, so that she wouldn't be burdened too much by her life.
On the way to the hospital, Lin Zhida naturally took Zhou Jiyun's car. Because Zhou Jiyun's car was bugged, Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun spoke very carefully, talking about daily trivial matters.
As for their secrets and business matters, the two of them didn't talk about anything. Lin Zhida sat obediently in the back seat. He looked at the back of Xie Jing's head and said, "Sister, can I see my mother soon?"
"Should I call that grandpa dad? He looks very old."
Xie Jing thought to herself that according to Zhou Zhida's age, he was indeed old enough to be Lin Zhida's grandfather.
She thought for a moment and said, "Yes, he is your father. Don't tell him that he is old, otherwise he will be unhappy. No matter if it is a boy or a girl, no one likes to be told that they are old."
Lin Zhida nodded in confusion: "Oh, but big brother looks older than big sister."
Xie Jing teased: "Your elder brother is like an old cow eating tender grass, and he eats it with great relish."
A hint of darkness flashed across Zhou Jiyun's eyes: "Jingjing, you are wronging me. I admit that I am an old cow, but I have never eaten this tender grass."
Lin Zhida was still young, so naturally he didn't understand what Zhou Jiyun meant: "Sister, what is tender grass? You give it to your brother to eat, but your brother doesn't look like a cow."
Xie Jing glared at Zhou Jiyun, but still had to deal with the child patiently: "Your big brother is joking with you, let's ignore him."
How could she not know what Zhou Jiyun meant? Ever since the conversation began, Xie Jing felt that Zhou Jiyun's eyes looked at her as if there were hooks in them, and his words and actions were full of seduction all the time.
Now he is becoming more and more outrageous, talking nonsense in front of children.
Zhou Jiyun was unfazed by Xie Jing's glare. He changed the subject: "According to the timetable, Zhida should be going to kindergarten. Has your mother ever told you about this?"
Lin Zhida nodded: "Mom said that she would send me to kindergarten when she found a job here."
As he spoke, he began to wipe away his tears: "But my mother...something happened to her..."
Xie Jing quickly pulled out two tissues and gave them to him: "It's okay, we will find the best doctor for your mother, your mother will be fine. When your mother wakes up, she will definitely stay with you until you grow up."
After finally coaxing Lin Zhida to stop crying, Xie Jing pinched her brows and said, "Coaxing a baby is really a technical job."
Zhou Jiyun said softly: "Practice in advance, it will come in handy in the future."
Xie Jing understood what Zhou Jiyun meant immediately. It was not that she was thinking about romance all day long, but Zhou Jiyun was a complete love-brained person. So now, no matter what Zhou Jiyun said, Xie Jing would automatically lean towards that direction.
