Jiang's mother moved her lips, the boy in front of her felt very unfamiliar to her, "Xiao Ge, you... how did you become like this?"
Her eyes were filled with incomprehension and disappointment. As she spoke, her attitude changed from initial dejection to aggressiveness. She frowned and asked, "Is this how you talk to your mother?"
yes.
This blood relation is the capital that Gu Xiuning relies on.
She felt that Qin Ge was her son, the one she had carried for ten months, so how could there be any grudge between mother and son?
Therefore, she cared more for her adopted son Jiang Xibai, who was not related to her by blood, and took meticulous care of him. However, she turned a blind eye to the humble and yearning affection in her biological son's eyes and was stingy in giving him a bit of the tenderness that belonged to a mother.
Isn't it just that you feel he's your own son, and no matter how you treat him, he'll never leave you?
Qin Ge felt no affection whatsoever for this Ms. Gu Xiuning, or rather, not even a shred of goodwill. A mocking smile played on his lips as he said:
"Ms. Gu, oh no, Mrs. Jiang."
Under the accusing gaze of Jiang's mother, the boy smiled coldly and indifferently, even his extremely beautiful lips curving into a roguish smile. "I've never seen you show much concern for this son before, so why are you pretending to be a loving mother to me now?"
There was one more thing Qin Ge didn't tell Jiang's mother—
Your son is already dead.
Standing before you now is Niu Kulu Qin Ge.
...Just kidding.
Jiang's mother was clearly quite shocked. It took her a long time to find her voice, and she asked incredulously, "What did you call me...?"
“Ms. Gu. Mrs. Jiang. Whatever you like. I can call you whatever you want.” The young man raised his hand, shielding his eyes from the sunlight with his fingers, but his beautiful, dark eyes were icy cold.
Jiang's mother gasped for breath, clutching her chest, and said, "Xiao Ge, are you resentful that I'm too good to Xi Xi?"
Seeing Jiang's mother swaying precariously from the blow, Qin Ge impatiently curled her lips and said, "Blame you? Not at all."
"I have never hoped for love from you or the Jiang family, so there is no question of love or hate."
"but……"
At this point, the boy paused, slowly raising his eyes to look over. His crystal-clear eyes shone with a dazzling, cold brilliance, like gemstones. Jiang's mother felt her heart being plunged into a cold abyss by that gaze, and the chilling water around her seemed to rush towards her, making it hard to breathe.
She heard her own son say:
"Since Mrs. Jiang, you do have some self-awareness... oh, self-knowledge, then please don't bother me unless necessary in the future."
Jiang's mother felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on it. She wasn't stupid, but at this moment, the suffocating and stabbing pain in her chest disrupted her thoughts. Even the simplest words coming from the boy's mouth made her pause in surprise. Jiang's mother subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"
Considering that Ms. Gu Xiuning was, after all, the original owner's biological mother who gave him life, Qin Ge suppressed his irritation and controlled his emotions, refraining from saying anything particularly harsh to Jiang's mother. He offered a cool explanation, but that was all:
"Mrs. Jiang, haven't you always felt that 'I' am not presentable enough, and that you prefer your adopted son Jiang Xibai, whom you have spoiled since childhood?"
"Oh, it's not just you, Mr. Jiang, Young Master Jiang, Second Young Master Jiang, and even all the servants in the Jiang family are like this, so... I'll grant your request."
"I will respect your family's happiness and harmony, and I will withdraw from this relationship."
"For the past ten years or so, I have never eaten a single grain of rice or worn a single piece of clothing from the Jiang family. Two years ago, I was brought back to the Jiang family, and you all treated me as nothing. Since you think I am here to destroy this family, then I will just withdraw."
"Without me, the Jiang family will surely be as harmonious and happy as ever. Mrs. Jiang, you no longer need to worry about having a son who is not presentable and makes you the laughingstock of other wealthy wives. Jiang Ye no longer needs to worry about me bullying his good younger brother. Jiang Xibai no longer needs to worry about me stealing his affections and making underhanded moves behind his back."
"I sincerely wish your family all the best—"
"Love each other, be close to each other!"
"It's best not to bother me again. Whether it's you or anyone else, don't try to make your presence known to me. Just pretend I was never here."
As Jiang's mother's face paled and her eyes filled with panic, Qin Ge smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Finally, he said:
"Mrs. Jiang, please go back."
After saying so much to Jiang's mother in one go, Qin Ge's last bit of patience was exhausted.
Of course, he was not an impatient, particularly irritable, or mean person.
On the contrary, Qin Ge has a cold personality, which is ingrained in his bones and emanates from the inside out. It is difficult for ordinary people to arouse his emotions.
However, Jiang's mother was the original owner's biological mother, and she longed for the existence of family affection. Even though Qin Ge himself didn't have a good impression of Jiang's mother, who was confused and biased, the original owner's remaining emotions still affected him to some extent.
Furthermore, Qin Ge's words, each one piercing to the heart, also implied that he was venting his anger on behalf of the original owner.
It should be noted that no one in the Jiang family was innocent in the original owner's tragedy, including Jiang's mother.
The most ridiculous thing is that this woman used family ties to force the original owner to donate her kidney to Jiang Xibai... What a touching mother-son relationship!
With a mocking smile on his lips, Qin Ge finished speaking and turned to leave without looking back.
Jiang's mother hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, "Xiao Ge, are you not planning to acknowledge your mother? You are a piece of my flesh and blood. It's not my fault that you and Xi Xi were switched at birth. We've been together for the past two years, don't you have any feelings for your mother at all...?"
Qin Ge dodged to the side in time, but Jiang's mother grabbed a sleeve. She had made her point very clearly: her most beloved son was Jiang Xibai. Did she really have to keep pestering him like this?!
A hint of wickedness appeared in Qin Ge's eyes, and her delicate and indifferent face now seemed to exude a beautiful but malicious aura: "Oh, Mrs. Jiang wants to settle accounts with me about the expenses I've incurred living in the Jiang family over the past two years?"
“I understand.” He nodded, then asked casually, “One million, is that enough to buy out the deal?”
Jiang's mother turned pale and remained silent.
"Five million, that should be enough, right?"
Qin Ge held a card between her slender, white fingers and said to herself:
“I’ve been back in the Jiang family for two years, and I don’t think I’ve used five million. But don’t bother looking anymore. I just hope that once Mrs. Jiang has taken the money, she won’t bother me again.”
The boy handed the card to Jiang's mother, and at the same time, he pried open her fingers, one by one, from her sleeve.
—The action was decisive.
Qin Ge experienced the joy of being a domineering CEO, threw the card at Jiang's mother and left, not giving her any chance to continue harassing him.
Jiang's mother watched helplessly as her fingers were mercilessly pried open, a sliver of white sleeve sliding past her fingertips, tracing a chilling arc in the air.
Watching the boy's slender, upright figure disappear without turning his head, Jiang's mother realized with absolute clarity:
Xiao Ge is gone...
He no longer acknowledges her as his mother...
Jiang's mother didn't think she particularly liked the son who had been switched at birth, but it seems that only at this moment, when she was about to lose him, did a huge sense of panic rise within her...
Recalling the child's words, which still echoed in her ears, Jiang's mother clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.
Then, she finally couldn't hold back and covered her face, bursting into tears.
what to do……
She seems to have made an unforgivable mistake...
It seems Xiao Ge will never forgive her again...
·
Qin Ge's bad mood, which was ruined by Jiang's mother's appearance, was relieved after returning to Jiyuan.
Or rather, Qin Ge had a lot to do and no time to think about the Jiang family's troublesome affairs.
He had to treat Huo Beiyuan's leg, administer acupuncture, and give massages. In addition to being a private doctor, he also had to juggle dating...
Aunt Yun moved all of Qin Ge's belongings to the master bedroom, saving her the trouble of running up and down to get the silver needles and ointment. After giving Huo Beiyuan the acupuncture as usual, she massaged his legs, and Qin Ge was so busy that she broke out in a light sweat.
Qin Ge stood up from her half-squatting position in front of the man without swaying at all, and there was no unexpected weakness in her legs like the first time.
Recently, the chefs at Jiyuan have been preparing meals that suit his taste. Qin Ge is eating and sleeping well, and he drinks milk every night. His health is much better than when he first came to Jiyuan. He no longer experiences dizziness and weakness in his legs after squatting for a while.
The man, however, felt a pang of regret seeing him get up steadily.
The children no longer throw themselves at me.
But it's okay, we're in a perfectly legitimate relationship now...
Huo Beiyuan grasped the boy's slender, fair arm with its sleeves rolled up, pulled him close, and held him on his lap.
Caught off guard, Qin Ge sat in the man's lap, her face darkening. Speechless, she said, "Huo Beiyuan, do you have some serious illness?"
Huo Beiyuan grabbed Qin Ge's chin, bit his lips, narrowed his dark eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Baby, with that mouth of yours, it's better to call you Uncle."
Qin Ge felt a slight pain on her lips.
It seems like his mouth hasn't been feeling well since last night.
Is this man born in the Year of the Dog?
"Unhappy?" Huo Beiyuan touched his face and asked in a gentle voice, "What happened today? Why don't you tell your uncle?"
Qin Ge... that's quite unexpected.
He thought he had hidden his irritation well, at least not on the surface. How did Huo Beiyuan find out?
Perhaps it was the obvious surprise in the boy's eyes that made the man's thin lips curl up, and he said, "Is there anything about you that I don't know?"
Qin Ge, "..."
Even though he's a complete novice when it comes to dating, this sentence just sounds... rather ambiguous to him.
