Chapter 36
Si Yin was going to take his mother back to the Tefse sanatorium today and set off early in the morning.
Zhu Xiyuan and his son Zhu Fu slept until noon, had a leisurely brunch, and decided to go to the children's center of the resort to play today.
Since most of the room types were booked by guests of the Yinling Conference, there were not many individual tourists here. They had been here for several days and had not seen anyone with children.
Then I met one at the children's center.
The little girl just learned to walk. She has a round face and two pigtails. She is quite cute.
Fu Fu, who grew up alone, always wanted a younger brother or sister, but after seeing Zhu Shaoquan reborn as his mother's younger brother, she gave up the idea of having a younger brother.
Zhu Xiaoling and Zhu Xiyuan have a good relationship, which further strengthens his determination to have a younger sister.
However, Zhu Fu had experienced adulthood after all, and knew where her brothers and sisters came from. She really couldn't pretend to be innocent and ask her fathers for them.
...It's quite strange.
In short, he was in a good mood when he saw the little sister. The two little cubs were playing with transformable building blocks together, and the scene was very harmonious.
The little girl was brought by her parents. Her father was a loud and noisy man who kept communicating with others on his wrist phone without controlling the volume at all.
There were several times when his wife wanted to remind him to keep his voice down in public, but she glared back at him.
Obviously, this is a very unequal family status.
Zhu Xi was not a talkative person to begin with. The fact that the child's parents did not come to talk to him made him feel relieved. He took out his PADD to read a book and tried his best to ignore the man's noise.
Everything is still in order amidst the chaos.
Until the sound of a baby crying was heard.
The parents on both sides looked over at the same time. The one who had just learned to walk was lying on the ground crying loudly. There were two sharp, angular building blocks at his feet, and his arm was scratched and the skin was broken.
This minor injury may be difficult for adults to even notice, but for a one-year-old baby, it is already a serious matter.
The woman ran over distressedly, and the man immediately hung up the phone, raising his eyebrows: "What's going on?!"
The same building blocks were in Fu Fu's hand, and the boy seemed to be frightened as well. Zhu Xiyuan frowned, put down his PADD, and walked over.
The woman picked up her daughter and checked for any other injuries. The baby had never experienced pain before and cried heartbreakingly.
The man had been in a bad mood when they had just communicated, and now he had a good opportunity to vent his anger. He pointed at Zhu Xiyuan and started to curse: "What kind of child did you teach! Look at how you hurt my daughter!"
Zhu Xiyuan didn't look at him. He knelt on one knee in front of Fu Fu, held his little hand, and asked him to open his palm to reveal the building block: "What happened just now?"
Before Fufu could say anything, the man, as if seeing evidence of a crime, shouted, "This is it! Your son must have used this to beat my daughter!"
For children like Fu Fu and the little girl who are too young to tell their experiences well, the attitude of their parents almost determines everything.
The little girl couldn't speak yet, so the only one who could recreate the scene was Zhu Fu.
Fufu threw the building blocks to the ground and clenched her fists: "I don't have any!"
He originally wanted to argue with his father, but when he saw his father's serious expression, he felt so aggrieved for some reason that tears rolled down his face before he could finish his words.
The man fanned the flames: "Cry, just cry, it's useless to raise a boy like this!"
He scolded both the young and the old ones.
Zhu Xiyuan still turned a deaf ear to the man's words and repeated his previous question: "Tell Dad what happened?"
Fu Fu raised her little hand to wipe her tears, her voice choked with sobs.
In fact, he was the victim. Thinking about the small starship shape that his father had built for him on the beach, he tried to replicate it with building blocks. After working hard for half a day, the little baby who had been watching him play obediently became excited for some reason and waved his hand to push his "starship" down.
Fu Fu was still busy rescuing the spaceship. The baby stood up shakily and was about to leave, but accidentally stepped on the sharpest block and fell down.
The process is very simple. If we have to say who is at fault, it is the fault of such a young child playing without a guardian to supervise him. The child cannot be blamed at all.
But the baby's father didn't think so. Relying on the fact that there was no surveillance here, he insisted that it was Fu Fu who pushed the little girl.
"I'm taking my daughter to the hospital for a checkup now. If anything goes wrong after the fall, neither you nor your son will be able to escape!"
Fu Fu had already understood what he meant, it was nothing more than extortion.
The child was very angry. No matter how evil he had done in his previous life, he would never bother a human cub.
How could someone be more evil than the evil god?
Dad, please don't be fooled!
Fu Fu looked at Zhu Xiyuan who had already stood up. The latter frowned and did not immediately agree or refuse. He seemed to be struggling with something.
The kitten opened its eyes wide.
Would the father agree to the man's unreasonable behavior?
Or, worse still, could it be that… my father also believed that this was my fault?
The boy panicked for a moment.
The baby couldn't speak, and the mother didn't say a word either. She held her daughter and cried, as if it wasn't just a broken skin but a terminal illness.
There was no one else present, and the man insisted that it was his fault. If, if his father didn't believe him, then who else could prove his innocence?
No, that's not right. It doesn't matter whether you are innocent or not.
What is most sad is that your father does not believe in you.
He knew how protective Si Yin was of his son, but Zhu Xiyuan was different. Zhu Xiyuan was the type of person who... valued harmony.
Otherwise, I wouldn't compromise for the sake of my family.
If you really don't want to get entangled with this couple, it seems not impossible to just go with the flow.
For a moment, Zhu Fu even thought that it would be better if the person here was his father instead of his mother.
The child bit his lip, stiffened his neck and didn't say a word.
Fu Fu is mostly a sweet little baby and rarely acts rebellious.
In the past, there were very few humans living in St. Helier, and Fu Fu had almost no friends of the same age.
After Bach was sent to kindergarten, he unexpectedly became the "boss" of the class. The other children seemed to admire him very much.
Zhu Xiyuan has always believed that his son's social skills are fine, and he is glad that Fu Fu inherited this from Si Yin instead of himself.
The more the kitten thought about it, the sadder and more aggrieved he felt.
But to his surprise, Zhu Xiyuan pressed his little shoulder and said softly but firmly, "I believe my child. If he says no, then it's no."
The man was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "You believe it if you say so. There were only a few children there, and the others were so far away. How could my daughter fall down when she was fine? Huh? Tell me?"
Zhu Xiyuan frowned: "Please stop making trouble, or I will call the police."
Seeing that he wasn't joking, the man panicked and raised his voice even louder: "Why report such a trivial matter to the police? Do you think the police station is as idle as you?"
Zhu Xiyuan sneered: "If my son really did something, I will compensate him, but the prerequisite is that there is a scene reconstruction and injury assessment. I don't mind paying for this part of the credit points."
She is a typical cold beauty, and rarely shows any expression except to her husband and children.
If Si Yin were here at this moment, he would definitely say that it was a good deal for the couple.
"—But if it turns out he didn't do it, please compensate him for his emotional damage."
He didn't say "I" but "he".
Take the psychological damage suffered by Fu Fu more seriously.
Fu Fu was stunned.
His mother, who is always aloof...is she so sharp-tongued?
No, that's not the point.
The man knew he had hit a hard wall, but he didn't want to give in immediately, so he kept on being stubborn: "Who knows if you have any connection with the police station or the hospital..."
"You can specify."
"Forget it... forget it! You're wasting my time. I still have business to attend to. Millions of credits can be lost in a matter of minutes. Can you afford to waste my time?"
"There's no personality type that's necessarily unique to a certain gender. Boys can cry, too. Please don't dictate other people's parenting methods." Zhu Xiyuan took Fu Fu's hand. "My child is the best."
After saying this, he stopped entangled with the man and left with Fu Fu.
It was not until they left the children's center that the kitten gently tugged at his father and whispered, "Daddy, am I the best?"
His voice was trembling a little.
I don’t know if it’s the unfinished crying or the self-doubt.
No one had ever said that about him.
Only people have said that he is the most evil, the most damnable, and the one who will go to hell the most.
But his father, who was always taciturn, squatted down and hugged him in his arms. He put away his thorny face when facing outsiders and said in a gentle voice: "Of course you are the best, baby."
