"Besides, they couldn't have stayed in the hospital forever. I only asked the doctor about the situation after they left."
"The director of the ICU is very tight-lipped. He never mentions me in front of Zhou Zhida. Zhou Zhida's family doesn't know about my relationship with you."
"As for the gossip," Aunt Li said, chopping vegetables quickly. "The gossip about Zhou Zhida and Lin Nan is already well-known over there. Just ask anyone and everyone will know. I don't need to ask the doctors."
"I heard that Zhou Jiwen went there a few times, and that kid Lin Zhida went there almost every day. Because he couldn't get into the ward, he would always lean against the window and watch, looking quite pitiful."
"Miss, do you think the Zhou family will hold a banquet for this child? Officially announce his return to the Zhou family? If so, it would be even more exciting."
Xie Jing pondered for a moment: "No matter what happens to Lin Nan in the future, Lin Zhida will return to the Zhou family. But now that Lin Nan has woken up, he poses the greatest threat to Fang Qin. As you said, there will be some fun to watch."
"Serves him right," Li's mother spat. "How shameless! He thinks he's such a hot commodity just because he has a little money. He doesn't even realize his age—he's old enough to be someone else's father."
"This little girl, for the sake of money, is willing to give up anything. She's not picky at all and really has a lot of food."
Xie Jing thought about Zhou Zhida's appearance: "Thinking carefully, Zhou Zhida does look good when he dresses up."
Li Ma chopped the meat. "What's the use of having a good appearance? Good character is the real good. If you ask me, he's far from chasing my son-in-law."
Xie Jing laughed. Aunt Li was really good to her. But it was also very realistic, and the key point was reflected in Zhou Jiyun. If Zhou Jiyun showed any signs of trouble, Aunt Li would immediately turn against him.
After leaving Xie Jing's house that day, Li Ma successfully joined several domestic service groups in the city. Although the aunties were usually inconspicuous, they knew a lot of gossip.
Moreover, Li Ma didn't specifically focus on the Liu family. She took a different approach and began to look for the family whose child had been lost 24 years ago. Of course, Li Ma didn't neglect the Liu family either, but she unconsciously put more of her attention on the latter.
Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun didn't pin all their hopes on Li Ma, but rather focused on Brother Fan. In this seemingly relaxed but secretly tense atmosphere, Saturday finally arrived. It was Grandma Liu's birthday, also known as Li Ercui.
Because there was a family dinner at noon, Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun were dressed casually. When they arrived at the Liu family's house, many relatives and friends had already come, including Xie Xuerong, Liu Limin, and Xie Wuyang.
Seeing Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing come in, Xie Xuerong and Xie Wuyang hurried over: "Jiyun and Jingjing are here? Long time no see! Please come in!"
Xie Wuyang smiled at Xie Jing: "Sister, long time no see."
Xie Jing looked at Xie Wuyang scrutinizingly. She wasn't the Xie family's biological daughter. Did Xie Wuyang know about this? But thinking back to the past few years, Xie Wuyang had never let anyone know. Could it be that Xie Wuyang didn't know?
Hiding the wariness in her eyes, Xie Jing smiled and said, "I've been quite busy lately. I have a lot of schoolwork and some things going on at home, so I don't have time to go back."
"Is everything all right at home?"
Xie Wuyang's smile widened. "Everything is fine. The company was struggling before. With the Zhou family's support, the company has overcome the crisis. The trouble Wuyou caused has also subsided, and the company is developing steadily."
Xie Jing nodded: "That's good. How is Xie Wuyou now?"
Xie Wuyang paused and said, "It's okay. I just came back after I accompanied her to complete the language school admission procedures."
"Sister, I heard that Uncle Zhou's family..."
Xie Jing raised an eyebrow: "Have you heard about it?"
Xie Wuyang paused and said, "I've heard some things, but not in detail."
He didn't mention how disappointed Liu Limin was after she found out the child was Uncle Zhou's. Liu Limin wished Lin Zhida's child was Zhou Jiyun's, so she could also upset Xie Jing.
But no one expected that the child was actually Zhou Zhida's, which surprised most people. But when you think about it, it's not surprising. Compared to Zhou Jiyun, Zhou Zhida has fewer gossips, but he does have them.
After all, the rumors that Zhou Jiyun was deeply in love with his first love were deeply rooted in people's minds. If this child was the one of Zhou Jiyun and his first love, perhaps everyone would believe it.
But the fact is, Zhou Jiyun’s “first love” has been abroad for so many years, so where did such a big child come from?
Xie Jing picked out a few things to say, and Xie Wuyang sighed, "It's so pitiful, what a coincidence."
Xie Jing followed his lead and continued, "Who said it wasn't? I also thought it was Jiyun's at first. After all, he does look somewhat similar to Jiyun. If anyone else saw it, they would definitely suspect Jiyun first."
Xie Wuyang was thankful: "Fortunately it's not, and fortunately this child has nothing to do with my brother-in-law. Uncle Zhou is not a decent person at all, how could he do such a thing outside? Look at our father, even if he dislikes our mother, he doesn't mess around outside."
He was silent for two seconds and said, "Sister, no matter how Mom treats you, I still hope you live a good life."
Xie Jing was also silent for a moment: "I understand. I'll go talk to grandma."
She and Liu Limin had already torn their relationship apart, so how could Liu Limin possibly hope for her well? Especially since Liu Limin's marriage was still tied to her, it would be strange for Liu Limin to have a good face towards her.
This time, when they met Grandma Liu again, she was still smiling as if nothing had happened. Liu Limin sat next to Grandma Liu, with a stern face and no words.
Xie Jing seemed not to notice Liu Liming's expression. She chatted and laughed with Grandma Liu, and also had a good chat with Liu's two aunts.
Just because she doesn't like to talk doesn't mean she's not good at socializing. Xie Jing still understands the interactions in this kind of situation.
Grandma Liu couldn't help but ask about the Zhou family. The key point was whether Zhou Zhida would recognize the child.
"I heard she seemed to wake up once?"
Xie Jing rolled her eyes. "She did wake up once last weekend, but after seeing her son, she fell into a coma again."
"Grandpa means that the child is very pitiful. His mother has been in such a big trouble. No one knows what his life will be like in the future."
"We can't really send the child to an orphanage, right? The Zhou family can afford to raise a child."
"As for what happens after the child's mother wakes up, that depends on Uncle Zhou's plans. But she gave birth to a son for him and raised him alone for several years. Even if he cares about his family, he still has to make sure she's well taken care of, right?"
