"Mother Li cooked porridge tonight. I'll go heat you a bowl?" Zhou Jiyun sat up and put on the home clothes next to him. "Don't come out. I'll bring it in for you."
"Okay," Xie Jing's reaction was a little slow when she just woke up. She would be a few beats late to respond when someone said something. So Xie Jing sat on the bed obediently, hugging the quilt, waiting for Zhou Jiyun to feed her.
After watching Xie Jing finish her porridge, Zhou Jiyun sat down on the chaise longue beside the bed. Xie Jing wiped her hands and came out of the bathroom: "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. Weren't you fine when you went out just now?"
Zhou Jiyun pinched his fingers and said, "I just received a call from Zhou Jida. Zhou Jiwen has been abandoned."
"Hmm?" Xie Jing frowned. "Is the one I thought was useless?"
"That's what you think," Zhou Jiyun nodded. "He made the move on the sixth day of the New Year. Grandpa was still attending Zhao Ge's engagement party at that time. Grandpa didn't receive the news until the morning of the seventh day."
"No wonder Grandpa was in such a hurry to return to S City this morning," Xie Jing now completely connected Grandpa Zhou's abnormal behavior this morning with Zhou Jiwen's dismissal. "How is Grandpa's health?"
"In the hospital," Zhou Jiyun said softly, "I heard from Butler Zhong that Grandpa wasn't in a very good mood. He was still counting on Zhou Jiwen to come out after a few years so that he could have children for the second branch."
"But now... it's all ruined in Zhou Jida's hands."
Xie Jing chuckled twice: "Isn't Zhou Jida from the second house? He also has Zhou Jida's blood flowing in his body."
Zhou Jiyun: "But in grandpa's heart, he still values Zhou Jiwen more. Before Jiang Cha's child was gone, he could comfort himself that Zhou Jiwen was still there. Now that Zhou Jiwen is disabled, his thoughts are completely gone."
"Zhou Jida's move is indeed cruel."
Zhou Jiyun finally commented: "It's really quite eccentric."
Xie Jing: "Grandpa, did you guess that it was Zhou Jida who did it?"
"You can probably guess it," Zhou Jiyun said coldly, "Grandpa has always been soft-hearted when he shouldn't be, and hesitant when he should be hard-hearted."
"If he had taken drastic measures after his parents' accident, none of these tragedies would have happened."
Xie Jing stepped forward and hugged Zhou Jiyun's back: "So, after knowing that the source of everything lies with Grandpa, I no longer have the slightest admiration for him."
"If you're sad, then..."
"I'm not sad at all now," Zhou Jiyun put his arm around Xie Jing's waist, resting his cheek on her soft belly. "I have you now, and so many relatives. All the pain I once had has healed. I'm really not sad at all."
"I'm glad you're not sad." Xie Jing touched his hair: "You should work tomorrow. I'll go to the hospital for you. Grandpa is in the hospital, and I have to go see him."
Zhou Jiyun hesitated: "How about I go with you?"
"No need," Xie Jing pushed his arm. "These aren't difficult for me. I'll do whatever you don't want to do. Besides, tomorrow is the first day of work, so we need to start it off on the right foot. If Jay Chou doesn't show up, the employees must be worried."
"Okay," Zhou Jiyun thought about it and said, "I'll have the driver take you there. Fang Qin must know that Zhou Jiwen has been abandoned. Who knows if she'll do something desperate?"
Xie Jing said sternly: "I understand. I will pay attention to my own safety."
She and Zhou Jiyun had overcome so many difficulties to finally be together, so how could she allow her happy life to be destroyed by others? Xie Jing was already planning which bodyguards to bring to the hospital tomorrow.
"Will Zhou Jida have a hard time in the days ahead?" Xie Jing's thoughts suddenly wandered to this point. "Once Grandpa is discharged from the hospital, he'll have to deal with Zhou Jida."
"That's his business. Since he did it, he should be brave enough to admit it. He can't be as timid as Zhou Zhida." Zhou Jiyun said coldly: "Besides, his temper really needs to be changed."
"We need to let him know that he has to pay the price for his wrongdoing, even if he has a good reason. If we let him off lightly this time, after he gets a taste of this convenience, he won't stop, but will only become more aggressive."
Xie Jing was curious: "What are you going to do?"
Zhou Jiyun thought about it again and again: "I haven't thought about it yet, what do you think?"
Xie Jing's lips curled up slightly: "Then let him get busy. Once he's busy, he won't have the energy to cause trouble."
Zhou Jiyun thought about it and said, "Okay, it's time to get him busy. The company will be handed over to him in the future anyway."
The next morning, Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun went out at the same time, one to the company and the other to the hospital. Before leaving, Zhou Jiyun specifically reminded her: "If you meet Fang Qin, don't take the initiative to approach her, stay away from her."
"Who knows if she'll go crazy again?"
Xie Jing naturally knew: "I understand. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I know how to protect myself."
Inside the hospital, Mr. Zhou sat leaning against the bed, his hands shaking uncontrollably. Butler Zhong felt sorry for him when he saw him like this. He brought him a bowl of millet porridge and said, "Eat something. You can't fall down at this time."
Old Master Zhou sighed: "Why do you think he did this? Is there such a deep hatred between him and Xiao Er? Xiao Er is still nice to him on the surface."
Zhou Jida's methods were very covert, and Mr. Zhou didn't even have any evidence, but he just knew it was Zhou Jida who did it. He still couldn't figure out why Zhou Jida was so cruel to Zhou Jiwen?
He caused Jiang Cha to have a miscarriage, and now he has made Zhou Jiwen childless. Do he and Zhou Jiwen have such a deep hatred?
Butler Zhong said nothing, he couldn't understand. As an illegitimate child, Zhou Jiwen was already very good to Zhou Jida, so why did Zhou Jida keep pestering him?
When Xie Jing arrived at the ward door, she saw two elderly people, one sitting and the other standing. Although the ward was filled with sunlight, she could sense a sense of fading.
"Grandpa, how are you?" Xie Jing asked softly after putting the chicken soup she brought on the cabinet next to her.
Mr. Zhou sighed: "I'm fine. Did Jiyun go to the company?"
"Yes, he will come over during lunch break." Xie Jing glanced at the thermos bucket. "Jiyun made the chicken soup this morning. He is very worried about you."
Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Is that so? You know about Xiaoer's matter?"
"I heard it from Jiyun last night," Xie Jing glanced at the untouched breakfast and poured a bowl of chicken soup for the old man. "I only found out you were in the hospital in the middle of the night."
Old Master Zhou took the chicken soup she handed him and said, "Tell me, how did it get to this point? I still can't figure it out. Xiao Er was very nice to Zhida, so why did Zhida treat him so cruelly?"
Xie Jing said calmly, "Grandpa, do you have any evidence? Zhida is only six years old during the Chinese New Year. How could he do such a thing?"
