Chapter 27 New Menu
His son's illness has been causing him physical and mental suffering.
He knew that his parents looked at Zhong Siyu strangely, let alone outsiders.
Wei Zhihe didn't care about these things at all. Reputation was dispensable to him.
But it seemed as if God was punishing him, punishing him for using any means necessary to possess the woman he loved.
He held his son tightly in his arms.
Zhong Niannian pursed her lips and looked at the deep love between father and son.
Noticing her gaze, Wei Zhihe pulled her into his arms and said gently, "I'm sorry, Dad is late."
This apology made Zhong Niannian unable to suppress her emotions any longer. She leaned on Wei Zhihe's shoulder and cried sadly.
Li Guixiang, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt very uncomfortable.
Not only Zhong Niannian but also Zhong Xuexi was leaning against the window to peek.
At this moment, she saw this scene in the yard and felt very uncomfortable.
After all, she is not a heartless person. Even in front of her family, she did show her dislike for the two children.
But deep down, she also hopes that one day Zhong Siyu's illness can be cured and he can grow up healthy and happy like other children.
At Wei Zhihe's request, Li Guixiang finally gave in and agreed to let Wei Zhihe visit the two children.
Of course, she also saw that the two children wanted to see their father.
Even though they had already been adopted by Zhong Heyang, it was still different after all, because Wei Zhihe was their biological father.
At night, as soon as Lin Ziqiu closed her eyes, Zhong Heyang immediately approached her.
"Qiu'er, do you like children?"
Zhong Heyang always remembered the solemn promise Lin Ziqiu made to him on the day of their wedding, saying that she would treat Zhong Niannian and her siblings as her own children.
Lin Ziqiu felt the warmth on her neck. She subconsciously shrank her neck and said in a muffled voice, "Are you jealous when you see Nian Nian and the others go to see Wei Zhihe?"
Zhong Heyang sighed deeply, his tone somewhat melancholy, "A little bit, I guess. Xue Yuan brought them home when they were four years old, and then Xue Yuan went to the art troupe. Wei Zhihe only came two or three times in between. I thought that because of them, they didn't want to acknowledge him as their father, so I adopted them under my name."
Lin Ziqiu could understand his feelings.
In her previous life, the child she had raised with all her heart and soul ended up biting her back.
Much more heartbroken than Zhong Heyang at the moment.
"Children from single-parent families are more sensitive than ordinary children. Nian Nian and the others are good children. In fact, you should be happy for them that they can get close to Wei Zhihe."
Lin Ziqiu analyzed the situation with him very seriously. In her opinion, Zhong Xueyuan avoided the two children. It would undoubtedly be a good thing if Wei Zhihe could accompany them more often.
After all, a child’s growth cannot be separated from his parents.
She said with some envy: "They are happy in their hearts to be loved by their father."
She could see that Wei Zhihe truly loved his two children.
Zhong Heyang suddenly realized.
He has always given himself a lot of tasks.
The deaths of his father and uncle dealt him a heavy blow.
Later, Xueyuan got divorced and returned home with her two children.
He didn't want Xueyuan to live in pain like she had in the past, so he took the burden of raising the child on his shoulders.
But now, he found that there were many things that he didn't need to take care of at all.
Zhong Zhiyang has grown up and has his own choices and life.
Zhong Niannian and Zhong Siyu are always thinking about their parents, but he can never completely replace them.
This feeling of failure made him feel suffocated. Lin Ziqiu's words made him realize that he had been trapping himself in the shackles of responsibility all these years.
When Zhong Niannian and his sister met their father, he should have been happy for the two children.
Zhong Heyang put his arm around her waist and said in a low voice: "You are right."
Lin Ziqiu was not used to his close contact. She felt a little itchy around her waist and subconsciously shrank back. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed."
She originally wanted to push his hand away, but thinking that he was in a bad mood, Lin Ziqiu ignored it.
Zhong Heyang kissed her forehead and said, "Okay."
…
Early the next morning, Zhong Heyang rode his bike to take her to work.
Tian Xiaobo was opening the door, and his younger brother Tian Xiaofeng was standing beside him with one hand in his trouser pocket. He looked at the bicycle coming from the distance and immediately poked his older brother with his elbow.
"Brother! Sister Xiaoqiu is here."
Tian Xiaobo said perfunctorily, but his body turned back honestly and said, "I'm here..."
After seeing Zhong Heyang, he muttered unhappily: "What is he doing here..."
"Who? Who is that man? Could he be Sister Xiaoqiu's husband?" This was the first time Tian Xiaofeng met Zhong Heyang. This made him think of the two women who were whispering about Lin Ziqiu behind his back yesterday.
Lin Ziqiu jumped down from the back seat of the car and urged, "Go back quickly. I have to go back to the machinery compound tonight. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."
Zhong Heyang frowned slightly, "Why are you going there suddenly?"
Lin Ziqiu explained: "Lin Mengyao came to our house yesterday. My mother told me that she was going to the countryside soon and asked me to go back for dinner." Since returning home, Zhong Heyang has seen clearly those people in the Lin family.
"Can I not go?"
Zhong Heyang was not at all at ease with Lin Ziqiu going back alone. He wished that Lin Ziqiu could cut off all ties with the Lin family and not have to care about her mother's family like this.
Lin Ziqiu shook her head. She had to go on this trip.
Even if Lin Mengyao didn't call her, she would go back to the Lin family before Lin Mengyao went to the countryside.
"Don't worry, I'll be back after eating, nothing will be wrong."
Zhong Heyang pursed his lips. If he had been busy there, he would have gone with her.
He rubbed his thumb on the back of Lin Ziqiu's hand for a few times and said in a muffled voice: "If anyone dares to bully you, wait for me to come back and support you."
Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Okay!"
Before leaving, Zhong Heyang gave Tian Xiaobo a warning look.
Tian Xiaobo snorted coldly and didn't even say hello.
Instead, Tian Xiaofeng ran to Lin Ziqiu's side happily, "Sister Xiaoqiu, he is Captain Zhong."
"Yeah." Lin Ziqiu nodded with a smile.
Tian Xiaofeng held his chin up and asked, "He's not bad looking. Are there a lot of girls who like him?"
The two walked into the restaurant together, and Tian Xiaobo followed quietly behind.
Lin Ziqiu glanced at him and said, "Since you are so curious, why don't you ask in person next time?"
Tian Xiaofeng shook his head hurriedly, "Forget it, I'm afraid he will beat me up."
Lin Ziqiu, "Not really. You don't have to be so afraid of him. He's actually a nice person."
The man following behind them said, "Hurry up and move the vegetables to the backyard."
Hearing his elder brother's words, Tian Xiaofeng ran away without any hesitation.
After all, he didn't dare to disobey. Every time he made a mistake, his father would just scare him. But his eldest brother was different. He would really beat himself!
However, although his elder brother was strict, he was still very good to him.
Because the salaries were different, the eldest brother would give him some money every time he got his salary. Tian Xiaofeng still liked to follow his eldest brother.
