Chapter 66 Why did you let her live alone?
It's unrealistic to tell his mother about this. She favors Qianqian and would definitely scold him for having wild thoughts, or do something else.
Wen Jinzhou felt he couldn't bring himself to tell his father...
After thinking it over, I decided that I could only tell his brother.
His brother is smarter; he should be able to come up with a solution.
As expected, Wen Qianqian's cries for her mother did not stop; instead, she cried even harder, constantly shouting "I want my mother!" Wen Jinzhou had no choice but to give in and say, "I'll go call Mom!"
Although Wen Qianqian brought her illness upon herself, it was a real illness.
I went to bed late last night and was sick for half the night, so I had an IV drip and cried for a while. When Wen Jinzhou said he was going to call back to Beijing, I fell asleep.
Wen Jinzhou took advantage of the moment he was asleep to make the phone call.
Xie Zhizhi was unaware of the chaos and turmoil on Wen Jinzhou's side. She woke up at around nine o'clock in the morning.
It was still drizzling outside, and the raindrops were hitting the window with a "pat-pat" sound.
"It's raining," Xie Zhizhi said as she got out of bed, but her legs gave way and she almost fell. Fortunately, the bedroom door opened in time and someone caught her.
"woke up?"
"Mmm, is it raining outside?" she asked, her eyes sparkling as she nestled in Zhou Lin's arms.
As Zhou Lin felt the warmth and softness in his arms, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his body inevitably and naturally woke up.
"Yeah, it's raining. It started raining last night. I didn't wake you up because I didn't want to be able to set up my stall," he said, his voice deep and hoarse.
After saying that, Zhou Lin gently hugged her and put her back on the bed.
“I’ll go open the curtains,” Zhou Lin said.
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhizhi quickly averted her gaze from that spot.
Her toes, which had fallen to the side of the bed, curled up slightly, and Xie Zhizhi struggled to keep her lips from turning up too wide.
Sure enough, the internet didn't lie to her; Zhou Lin's hands, with their bulging veins, clearly showed he was a very capable person.
The curtains were drawn back, and the light in the room improved. Xie Zhizhi tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth.
Should we brush our teeth now?
"I'll heat up breakfast," Zhou Lin asked as he drew back the curtains.
"Heating up breakfast? What time is it?"
"A little after nine o'clock!"
"Oh, it's so late?"
"It's raining outside, and I was worried you wouldn't be able to go out, so I didn't call you!"
Xie Zhizhi, who had been somewhat agitated, immediately calmed down upon hearing this. "That's true, it's raining, so I can't set it up!"
"And you," she asked, looking at Zhou Lin who was putting slippers back on her feet, "did you take the day off too?"
"No, I finished arranging things and came back to check on you, and you just happened to wake up."
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll heat up my own breakfast." Xie Zhizhi was afraid of delaying him.
"It's okay, it's raining, and I don't have much to do."
After helping her put her slippers back on, Zhou Lin squatted down in front of her and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
He was half-squatting, and was about the same height as Xie Zhizhi who was sitting on the bed.
There is a significant height difference between the two.
Xie Zhizhi's eyes darted around, and she started to come up with another "bad idea."
Before she could even utter a word, Zhou Lin had already stood up, stretched out his arm, and pulled her into his embrace. "I'll hold you!"
Xie Zhizhi couldn't suppress the urge to smile at this moment.
"Honey, you're so good to me!"
"Hmm," Zhou Lin hummed softly, his breath warm as it fell on Xie Zhizhi's head.
Xie Zhizhi was being mischievous; she nestled in his arms and frantically rubbed his abs.
“Zhizhi…” Zhou Lin called out in a hoarse voice.
Xie Zhizhi then obediently withdrew her hand.
She was already severely punished yesterday, so she has no choice but to behave herself now.
Although she often couldn't control herself from selling swords.
Xie Zhizhi was taken to the bathroom by Zhou Lin to brush her teeth and wash her face, while Zhou Lin went to heat up breakfast.
When Xie Zhizhi finished washing up and came out, breakfast was already laid out!
Xie Zhizhi's stomach also started to rumble at just the right moment.
She was indeed very hungry, because she had been completely drained the night before.
"Eat it while it's hot!"
Zhou Lin watched her sit down and pick up her chopsticks before grabbing the umbrella by the door. "I'll bring lunch back, so don't go out!"
Xie Zhizhi looked up at him while biting into her steamed bun, then nodded.
Zhou Lin was about to leave, but he came back and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "If you still feel tired after eating, go back to bed and rest. If you can't finish your work, I'll come back and do it tonight!" Zhou Lin said, patting her head.
Xie Zhizhi nodded obediently, "Okay, honey, I'll wait for you obediently at home!"
Zhou Lin's eyes darkened for a moment, but he ultimately controlled himself, withdrew his hand, and went out with his umbrella.
After Xie Zhizhi finished eating, she washed her lunchbox, did some exercises, and then started working.
Wen Jinzhou has also finished making two phone calls.
He first called his older brother, Wen Jinshu.
He stammered out Wen Qianqian's behavior over the phone.
After listening, Wen Jinshu pondered for a long time on the phone. "Mom spoiled her," Wen Jinshu finally said.
Wen Jinzhou wholeheartedly agreed. "But, brother, what do we do now?"
"Qianqian is insisting that Mom come over. She's only been here for one day and she's already developed a high fever. Mom definitely won't let me off the hook. If she makes a scene about this and forces me to go back, I..."
"Is the reason you don't want to come back because of Qianqian?" Wen Jinshu asked on the other end of the phone.
He used to think that his younger brother wanted to break free from the family's shadow, but now it seems that's not entirely true.
"Yes, that's part of the reason!"
“Mom has rarely gone out in recent years. It’s probably unrealistic for her to go to Jiangcheng alone. She will definitely need a family member to accompany her. It will be either me or Dad. I guess Mom won’t want Dad to come with her.”
"I'll go with you then and help you mediate."
"Then, today I will talk to your grandparents about your marriage. There are a few families that are on good terms with our family who have someone your age. If that doesn't work, I will ask your sister-in-law to help you keep an eye out. If you get your marriage arranged as soon as possible, Qianqian will give up."
“Otherwise, if she really exposes all of this, I’m afraid Mom…”
Both brothers could feel how much their mother doted on their younger sister.
Wen Jinzhou was actually afraid of this as well.
Scratching his hair again, Wen Jinzhou spoke into the phone, "Yeah, go ahead and mention it. Anyway, I can't talk to my own sister..."
Wen Jinzhou was going crazy just thinking about it.
"Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Wen Jinzhou called Xu Shanshan.
"Mom," Wen Jinzhou called out, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
"What is it?" Xu Shanshan's emotionless voice came through the phone as usual.
Wen Jinzhou felt even more aggrieved. "Mom, Qianqian is sick. She has a fever."
This time, Xu Shanshan's voice on the other end of the phone finally showed some emotion, "What happened?"
"Wen Jinzhou, how are you taking care of your sister?"
"She's only been there one day, how did she get sick?"
"How did I tell you?" Xu Shanshan's voice was filled with clearly visible anger, and was slightly sharp.
Wen Jinzhou tightened his grip on the microphone. "I don't know. She stayed at my place alone last night, I..."
Before Wen Jinzhou could finish speaking, Xu Shanshan ruthlessly interrupted him, "She lives alone?"
Why did you let her live alone?
