"Yes! Without him, my brother and I would have wasted most of our lives."
The siblings smiled knowingly.
"If you want to earn a living, I have a way. The pay is high, and it's something you're good at. It's just a bit tiring, though. You'll have to keep your mouth moving, so always have some throat lozenges on hand."
Xi Yan frowned. What kind of strange job was this? The salary was high, it was in his area of expertise, his mouth was constantly moving, and he even had to prepare throat lozenges.
"What kind of job is this? It feels weird."
"Private tutor!"
"Private tutor? But it's summer vacation now, who would hire a private tutor?"
"Plenty of them, want to do it part-time?"
"I'd love to! As long as the money is good, I'll definitely do everything I can to teach him well."
"Your words are enough."
When will construction begin?
"tomorrow!"
"no problem."
The two were chatting happily when Xi Yan's phone rang.
Xi Yan picked up his phone impatiently. "What? I'm eating. Get to the point!"
"I heard you finished your college entrance exam. How did it go?"
"It's alright. Thank you for your concern. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
"Who were you having dinner with? Was it Xi Ran?"
Although Xi Yan didn't really want to answer, he still hummed in response.
"Xi Yan! Can you and my sister come to the hospital to see me? I want to see you. The doctor said I don't have much time left."
Xi Yanteng stood up abruptly from his chair. "What do you mean by that?"
"I'm dying, can you come and see me?"
Seeing her younger brother's serious expression, Xi Ran leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
After hanging up the phone, Xi Yan told Xi Ran everything Xi Zhihui had said.
After listening, Xi Ran showed no extra expression on her face, scanned the code to pay, and pulled Xi Yan out.
"Let's go! We'll take the subway to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital."
"good!"
Xi Yan followed behind his sister with a blank expression.
He needs some time to process this news.
When did this happen?
"More than a month ago, right?"
"Huang Jiao'er ran away, and Xi Zhihui is seriously ill. What should Xi Ze do?"
Xi Ran said with a blank expression, "What can we do? He's already been sent back to his biological father, and he's living a good life now."
"What? Xi Ze isn't Xi Zhihui's son? Then why did he bring Xi Ze to the middle school every day without fail recently, so that I could get to know Xi Ze better?"
“At that time, he hadn’t discovered that Xi Ze wasn’t his biological son. Of course, he hoped that after he died, we older brothers and sisters would take care of Xi Ze. But fate played a cruel trick on him; Xi Ze wasn’t his biological child.”
Xi Yan sneered, "This is his retribution. He abandoned us for a woman like that."
Xi Ran patted Xi Yan on the back, "Alright! Alright! Don't be angry anymore. He has already received the retribution he deserved. As his children, we should see him off one last time."
Xi Yan nodded and remained silent the whole way. He didn't know why his parents were treating him and his sister so badly.
Maybe that's just who they are.
He and his sister can only blame themselves for having such terrible parents.
Perhaps because he had been hurt too badly, Xi Yan didn't feel much sadness when he heard that Xi Zhihui was about to die. At first, he was a little incredulous, but after calming down, he felt that it was nothing.
Perhaps four years ago, when Xi Zhihui ruthlessly cut off all his support and drove him and his sister to the brink of despair, all feelings had vanished.
Lin Bifan was the same; the constant insults wore down the bond between mother and son.
