After thinking about it, Su Rui felt that her husband's words made sense.
“If we ask our son, he definitely won’t say anything. Why don’t you talk to Jiang Zhi tomorrow and try to find out what he’s up to? Jiang Zhi should know about A Jin’s matter.”
"Okay, it's settled then. Honey, don't be angry anymore, let's eat first. The most important thing is Rui Rui, I wonder if this will leave a shadow on his heart."
“I asked Changge, and he’s doing well now. He even smiled. He had a great time playing with the chickens and ducks in the bamboo garden and feeding the fish. Luckily, Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu were there, and Rui Rui also likes being with them. They appeared in time to comfort him, otherwise, it would have been hard to say. Your son is so stubborn; we really can’t let him get away with it any longer. I can’t bear to see him like that for even a moment.”
"I will definitely tell him to scold him tomorrow, and I will not let him off easily."
"Okay, let's eat and not talk about our son anymore. Worrying about him is harder than teaching students. I've grown a lot of gray hair from all these years of anger caused by him."
"Tonight, I'll massage your shoulders and back. You've taken such good care of Rui Rui all these years; you've really worked hard. You're a hero in our family. Rui Rui is very attached to you, her grandma, and loves you very much. All your efforts have paid off. We're so happy to see our adorable little one grow up day by day!"
"I only turn a blind eye because of my grandson. But that brat is just so troublesome. Changge is back, Rui Rui is a mother, he's happy, and it's like a complete family. The grudges between the two families may slowly be resolved. But now, that brat is still so immature and selfish."
"Su Rui, stop talking and eat. Have some soup first. Let's leave him alone and let him regret it later."
Su Rui stopped talking and nodded.
Drink some soup to cool down.
...
After helping them tidy up, Nangong Jin and Zhou Hui went to eat.
Because of his son's situation, Nangong Jin was somewhat absent-minded and rarely spoke.
He answered almost everything Zhou Hui said.
Or perhaps, he simply focuses on eating.
...
Zhou Hui knew Nangong Jin was in a hurry, so she ate quickly as well.
On the surface, she was very considerate and generous.
She wisely refrained from asking about what happened today.
She knew what Nangong Jin was thinking; in fact, she also hated that child.
If it weren't for that child, she would have been enjoying wealth and luxury long ago, living a life of comfort and ease, instead of being in such a sorry state now.
She wished that child would disappear completely.
...
After dinner, Nangong Jin escorted Zhou Hui home.
He then called Jiang Zhi.
"Is my son still with you?"
Jiang Zhi scoffed and teased, "You still remember you have a son? She's back and you're completely out of your mind? If that's the case, don't fight with Changge for the child. Wouldn't it be better if you two rekindled your relationship? Anyway, Changge doesn't care about you anymore. Don't cling to the child; she definitely won't want to be a stepmother."
Nangong Jin narrowed her eyes, displeased, and said irritably, "Are you even speaking human language? Have you lost your mind? You're spouting nonsense!"
"Did I hit a nerve? Are you really upset? Isn't that the truth?"
"I'm not going to argue with you, you talk too much nonsense! Where's my son?"
“He went back with his mother. With her there, he finally feels safe and has returned to normal. A father like you should just stay out of the public eye and stop embarrassing yourself.”
"Did you talk nonsense with her?"
"Is your affair something to be proud of? Is it worth my gossip? As long as Zhou Hui is in Haicheng, the two of them will definitely meet. So what if I know? Chang Ge doesn't even care about you anymore, nobody cares about you. No, maybe Zhou Hui still cares about you, then you two might as well rekindle your romance."
"You're fucking insane!"
After cursing, Nangong Jin hung up the phone, too lazy to pay any attention to Jiang Zhi.
Nangong Jin knew she had gotten herself into trouble this time.
His parents would be furious if they found out he didn't pick up their son.
What awaits him may be a raging inferno.
...
Hearing the car, Su Rui walked out of the courtyard.
Nangong Hao also came out.
When they saw their son, they all glared at him angrily.
As the head of the family, Nangong Hao vented his anger first.
"What are you doing back here? Nobody welcomes you here!"
Su Rui chimed in, "You... get out of here and don't show your face in front of us. We don't need you to take care of the child, raise the child, or support him. You can do whatever you want, no one will stop you. You don't need to come back to this house, and we don't need you to look after it."
Nangong Jin pursed her lips and said, "I know I was wrong today. I'm wrong, and I won't make excuses. I must apologize to my son! I forgot, I didn't mean to not pick him up."
Su Rui sneered: "Forgot? What could make you forget your son? Tell me, let me see what earth-shattering thing it is."
"Mom, stop making a fuss. I'm worried about Rui Rui. I'm going to see him."
"I'm making a scene? Haven't you been the one making a scene all along? Haven't you been clueless about what you're doing? You're the one who's wrong, and you're giving me excuses? If Rui Rui suffers any psychological trauma, I'll never acknowledge you as my son, and he won't need you as his father. Just because of your mistakes, we all have to lie to you, you bastard!"
The parents are really angry!
They're right to criticize him; he really is a bastard!
However, he really missed his son and wanted to see him.
With her parents standing at the door, Rui Rui must not be home. Nangong Jin rang the Gu family's doorbell.
...
Gu Yi'an was at home when she heard the argument going on next door.
The doorbell rang, but he didn't open the door. Instead, he stared down at Nangong Jin from the balcony.
"The child is already asleep, don't wake him. No matter what, he still has his mother."
"Is Rui Rui... alright?"
"How can you even ask him if he's okay? Don't you have any self-awareness?"
Having said that, and not wanting to bother with Nangong Jin, Gu Yi'an went back to her room.
He turned off the lights, ready to go to sleep.
Hearing that his grandson cried alone in class because no one picked him up, Gu Yi'an was also very angry.
His impression of Nangong Jin was even worse!
...
Nangong Hao and Su Rui also heard what Gu Yi'an said.
They remained silent.
The son was rejected, and it was his own fault; they ignored him.
Nangong Hao and Su Rui went home and locked the door from the inside.
That damn son of theirs, let him do whatever he wants, they don't care anymore.
...
He is a sinner, despised by everyone!
Nangong Jin chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He really shouldn't have forgotten to pick up his son; he deserves to die.
He accepts their anger towards him; he deserves it!
I wonder how my son views his father?
Does the son also dislike his father?
Hearing him cry on the phone, I felt terrible too; he truly felt guilty.
...
Nangong Jin sent a message to Gu Changge.
Gu Changge neither read it nor replied.
She was sleeping while holding her son.
She was also very angry when she saw that her son's eyes were swollen from crying.
She had truly come to terms with it; she needed to be strong to properly protect her son.
