"Jida, it's time for us to go back. Your grandfather is waiting for you at home." Butler Zhong reminded him in a low voice. Zhou Jida slowly stood up, but just after taking two steps, he collapsed.
Yun Zhao reacted the fastest. Before Zhou Jida's little body could hit the ground, he took a few steps and caught him. He quickly checked Zhou Jida's breath and said, "It's okay. He's probably just too sad."
"I'll take him to the hospital first."
Xie Jing looked at the deserted mourning hall and said, "Let's go together. Someone will take care of the rest."
After Zhou Jida was rushed to the hospital, the doctor said that the child was too sad and had not eaten well in the past few days, which was why he suddenly fainted.
After Zhou Jida was given glucose, everyone found a place to sit in the ward. Butler Zhong saw this and walked out with his phone.
After receiving the call from Butler Zhong, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but snort coldly: "Fainted? His own mother did such a thing, and now he's sad and upset?"
Butler Zhong lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "He doesn't understand anything, and now it's unknown how long it will take for Master Jiwen to come out..."
The implication is that now that Zhou Jiyun and he are alienated, the Zhou family now has three grandsons, and only Zhou Jida is left. If the old man pushes Zhou Jida out, he will have no one around him in the future.
Mr. Zhou obviously understood this truth, but he just couldn't bear to get along with Zhou Jida.
"Let him stay in the hospital first, and you come back first. Anyway, there are people watching him, and there are doctors and nurses in the hospital who can take good care of him." After two seconds of silence, Grandpa Zhou said in a deep voice.
Butler Zhong agreed: "Okay, I'll tell Xie Jing and go back right away."
After hanging up the phone with the old man, Butler Zhong returned to the ward. Xie Jing, Yun Zhao, and Yun Xu all looked at him. Butler Zhong remained calm and said, "The old man hasn't been feeling well lately. I have to go back to see him. I'll have to trouble you to take care of Ji Da."
Just by looking at this attitude, Xie Jing understood. She thought the old man was blaming Zhou Jida for this incident. Xie Jing found it rather boring to vent his anger on a little kid who knew nothing.
If anyone was to blame, in the final analysis, the old man should blame himself. If he hadn't been partial to Zhou Zhida and fostered Zhou Zhida's ambition, would Zhou Zhida dare to take such a risk?
If he had not failed to teach Zhou Zhida well, would he have sought pleasure after marriage?
If he hadn't been so partial to Zhou Zhida and shielded him, how could the situation be like this now? Everyone had been bleeding in this fifteen-year illusion, and the biggest victim was Zhou Jiyun.
So if anyone is to blame, the old man should blame himself. After watching Butler Zhong leave, Xie Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Parental partiality is the root of all troubles. If the elders are not upright, the younger generation will not grow up to be anything."
Yun Xu nodded: "That does make sense. I wonder what this kid will become in the future."
He adjusted the drip speed as he spoke. "Having parents with flawed character is a great shame for their children. They simply can't face leaving the house. This brat, his father is a murderer, and his mother is a mistress. From now on, unless he leaves S City, these reputations will always follow him."
Xie Jing was very objective: "But it was these two people who brought them into this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have had the chance to be born. No matter what, he has to accept it."
"Like me, didn't I accept Liu Liming and Xie Xuerong's identities before? Now I'm glad they're not my parents."
After the bottle of glucose drip was finished, everyone didn't linger in the hospital any longer and directly took Zhou Jida out of the hospital. Yun Xu drove the car and looked in the rearview mirror: "He should have woken up by now, why is this kid still sleeping?"
Xie Jing turned her head to look at the back seat: "Who knows? It's really strange."
After Zhou Jida was settled in the guest room across the street, everyone sat down in the living room. Yun Xu was still a little worried: "Is Jiyun going to have any objections to bringing him back like this? I don't think he likes Zhou Jida."
"Tell me, what did Zhou Jida do? I think Jiyun is usually easy to talk to and has a good personality."
Xie Jing thought for a moment: "Ji Yun simply doesn't like Zhou Zhida and his family. Knowing that Zhou Zhida is a murderer, how could he possibly accept the children of a murderer?"
As for the grudge between Zhou Jiyun and Zhou Jida, Xie Jing would certainly not tell it. Rebirth was the biggest secret between Zhou Jiyun and her, and Xie Jing would not tell anyone about it for the rest of her life.
Yun Xu immediately accepted this explanation: "That's right, no one would accept the relatives of a murderer without any qualms."
"Then let the child live across the street for the next few days. Aunt Li is here and can take good care of him. We don't have time to stay in the hospital every day."
Xie Jing thought so too, and estimated that Zhou Jiyun would not have any other ideas after he came back. Sure enough, when Zhou Jiyun came back from work in the evening, he heard that Zhou Jida was unconscious, so he went over to take a look.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Zhou Jida, he couldn't bear to see him suffer. After all, he wasn't a bad person and had a good heart.
Zhou Jida slept for a whole day and night, and when he woke up, it was already late at night the next day. Coincidentally, Zhou Jiyun came back late from overtime that day, and when he walked out of the elevator, he saw Zhou Jida pushing the door open.
A five-year-old child stood there in the entrance hall. The entrance light shone on his head and body, making him look like a demon child from hell. Zhou Jiyun was a little dazed for a moment. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, carefully examining every part of Zhou Jida.
When he saw Zhou Jida's eyes, Zhou Jiyun suddenly bent down slightly and asked softly: "How old are you?"
Zhou Jida looked at the bodyguards following behind him: "Are you sure you want to say this here?"
Despite being a small body, the tone of her voice was that of an adult, which gave people a sense of disconnection and a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
Zhou Jiyun smiled and said, "Come in with me. Let's all go back and rest. It's safe at home."
Leading Zhou Jida into the house, Zhou Jiyun's expression softened as soon as he entered. Xie Jing was sitting on the sofa, looking over here with a gentle smile on her face.
Zhou Jiyun's mood, which had been somewhat disturbed by Zhou Jida, immediately brightened up. He left Zhou Jida and walked quickly towards Xie Jing: "Why aren't you asleep yet? I worked overtime very late today. Didn't I tell you to go to bed early?"
Xie Jing: "If I had classes on a normal day, I wouldn't have waited so long for you. It's vacation time now, so you can be a little more unrestrained."
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Jida, and then Xie Jing's brows slightly frowned: "You... look different from before."
Zhou Jiyun patted her hand and said, "Let's talk in the study. Come with me."
