Chapter 102 (1023 Update)
One hundred and two:
As soon as Mu Zheng stepped out, Mu Feng called.
Mu Zheng answered the phone and heard Mu Feng's voice, "How are you? Is it serious?"
Mu Zheng remained silent for a long time before saying painfully, "I don't understand."
He asked his father, "What heinous things have I done in my life?"
So much so that Heaven had to treat him this way.
First his mother, then his wife.
Mu Zheng was afraid that one day he would wake up from a nap, or return from a business trip, and hear from others that Mu Feng or Qin Cheng had contracted a serious illness.
Hearing his son's suppressed voice, Mu Feng instantly thought of his wife.
"Shao Zheng, you haven't done anything heinous, but the world is sometimes just so unfair."
“When your mother was sick, I wished I could be a doctor myself and study her illness, but I couldn’t. So I hired the best doctors and used the most expensive medicine, but in the end, I still couldn’t save her.”
"Life is like this, very fragile and unreasonable, which is why we must treat it with even more care."
"I'll go to the company tomorrow. You stay at the hospital and take good care of Qin Luan. Don't worry about Xiao Cheng, I'll take care of him."
Mu Zheng nodded.
“Dad, thank you,” he said.
"There's no need to say these things between a father and son."
“That’s not it,” Mu Zheng said. “What I’m grateful for is that you brought Xiao Xi home. The doctor said you came just in time, so her condition is still okay. If it weren’t for Xiao Xi…”
Mu Zheng choked up a little.
Mu Feng said calmly, "I didn't bring Xiao Xi home for these reasons."
“Even if he did nothing wrong and was just a silly kid, I would still take him home and take good care of him.”
"I know."
The problem is, Ye Qingxi has already done it.
Not only did it, but it was done twice.
For the first time, he cleared up the misunderstanding between Qin Luan and the family of three, allowing them to live happily together.
The second time, he saved Qin Luan's life, allowing their little family to continue to maintain their current happiness and well-being.
If Mu Shaowu weren't his own younger brother...
If it weren't for the fact that Mu Shaowu and Ye Qingxi got along so well...
If he hadn't known that his younger brother genuinely wanted to be a good father to Ye Qingxi...
If he hadn't seen that Ye Qingxi was indeed very willing to be with her current father, he would have been fine.
Mu Zheng felt that he would definitely adopt Ye Qingxi.
He owed Ye Qingxi too much, and he wanted to repay him.
However, any reward seemed insincere and superficial in light of what Ye Qingxi had done.
Therefore, Mu Zheng wanted him to become his child as well, so that he could protect him and love him for the rest of his life, making him happy and joyful forever, and ensuring he would never have any unsolvable problems.
Ye Qingxi gave him a happy and fulfilling family life, so he also wanted to give her a home.
He has a father who protects him, a mother who cares about him, and an older brother who loves him and can grow up with him.
Mu Zheng simply couldn't think of a reason why he wouldn't adopt Ye Qingxi.
He likes Ye Qingxi and is grateful to Ye Qingxi. His wife also likes him and is grateful to him. His son even wishes Ye Qingxi were his own younger brother.
The three of them were very happy for Ye Qingxi to come to their home.
However, he could not adopt him.
Because he is already his brother's child.
They love him.
His brother loved him just as much.
Mu Zheng would not allow himself to do anything that would harm his family.
In particular, this is just his wishful thinking; Ye Qingxi herself may not want to leave her father.
Mu Zheng sighed.
"No matter what Shaowu does in the future, as long as I live, Xiaoxi will definitely live a happy and glorious life," Mu Zheng promised his father.
Even if he wasn't Ye Qingxi's father, he would still love him as if he were his own son.
She would love him the way she loved Qin Cheng.
I will protect him and ensure he never experiences any hardship.
Mu Feng felt a sense of comfort as he listened.
He knew his eldest son's character very well. Even if he didn't say it, Mu Feng knew that with his eldest son's sense of responsibility, he wouldn't abandon Ye Qingxi after his death.
But now that he'd heard it, Mu Feng couldn't help but feel relieved and gratified.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Mu Shaowu.
He simply felt that the more support Ye Qingxi had behind her, the better her future would naturally be.
Mu Feng hoped that Ye Qingxi would be well; this was one of his few remaining wishes in his later years.
The more time he spent with Ye Qingxi, the more he hoped that Ye Qingxi could find happiness and live a joyful life.
At first, when Mu Feng looked at Ye Qingxi, he was actually just looking at his old friend's child.
Mu Feng didn't really care what his name was, what his personality was, what he looked like, what he liked, or what he disliked.
Because he never treated Ye Qingxi as an independent individual.
He is Ye Min's grandson, and that is his most important identity.
But now, Mu Feng watches Ye Qingxi grow up before his eyes day by day.
Seeing him worrying about this and that, yesterday he accompanied Mu Shaoyan to his tutoring class, and today he's worried about whether Qin Luan is sick and is urging her to go to the hospital.
Even so, he didn't forget to avoid Qin Cheng, not wanting Qin Cheng to be upset because of his mother's illness.
He's so young, yet he seems to want to take care of everyone in the family.
Mu Feng thought that it was probably because he had lost a family that he was so concerned about everyone in his new family, hoping that everyone would be well.
He used his small body to try his best to protect this family.
Mu Feng felt sorry for him and liked him.
It's no longer because he's Ye Min's grandson.
More than anything, it's because of his pure, innocent, and sincere love, because he is Ye Qingxi.
Even now, if Ye Min were to be resurrected and told that his grandson is not Ye Qingxi, but another child.
Mu Feng would also say, "It doesn't matter."
He can take care of both children together.
He wouldn't let Ye Qingxi leave just because she had no connection with Ye Min.
To him now, Ye Qingxi is already a child of the Mu family, and this is his home.
Mu Feng hummed in agreement, indicating that he had heard.
He didn't say much.
Mu Zheng didn't need him to say anything more about it.
He simply instructed, "It's getting late, Dad, you should get some rest too. I'll arrange for everyone to have a physical exam tomorrow. You, Shao Yan, Shao Ting, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Cheng can come over then."
"I won't go." Mu Feng didn't think he needed a medical check-up. "Let Shao Yan and Shao Ting take them with them."
“Dad,” Mu Zheng said gently, “You must also want to see Xiao Xi get married and start a family. Xiao Xi also wants you to stay with him for a long time. After all, you are his only grandfather.”
He mentioned Ye Qingxi and the deceased Ye Min, and Mu Feng couldn't help but compromise.
"I know," Mu Feng said. "You should go to sleep early too, lest you get sick before Qin Luan is better."
"I know. I'll also go for a medical check-up, just at a different time than you."
"Um."
After Mu Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
He looked at the photo of himself and his wife on his desk and sighed slowly.
Separation by death is one of the two greatest pains in life.
He tried one of them, and it really hurt.
He hopes his children will never have to experience or know what this kind of pain is like.
Mu Feng reached out and touched his wife's face in the photo. Even today, he still thinks of her unintentionally.
If only she were still alive.
She will definitely love her two grandsons.
His two grandsons will also have a grandmother, who will play with them, tell them stories, and make them snacks.
"Next time, I'll bring Xiaoxi and Xiaocheng to see you," he whispered in the loneliness of the cold night.
Mu Zheng acted swiftly and decisively. The very next day, he called each of his younger siblings, asking them to get medical checkups. He had already chosen the hospitals, and all they had to do was go.
Mu Shaowu was initially reluctant, but after hearing about Qin Luan, he immediately sat up straight and asked, "Is your sister-in-law alright?"
"The doctor said it was discovered very early, and the chances of a successful surgery are very high."
"That's good," Mu Shaowu said with relief.
Otherwise, his brother, who had finally managed to reunite with his wife and children, would have to suffer the tragedy of a black-haired person burying a black-haired one.
His nephew's situation was even more tragic.
Mu Shaowu still remembers the day his mother left.
His world was like a heavy snowfall, freezing cold, so cold that he couldn't recover.
My mind was completely blank; my thinking had almost stopped.
That day, Mu Shaowu felt as if he no longer recognized the world.
He seemed to have detached himself from this world, floating outside of it.
He listened to everyone's conversation mechanically and did his work mechanically until he heard Mu Shaoting crying.
He went to comfort her, but Mu Shaoting handed him a piece of paper.
Mu Shaowu was puzzled, and Mu Shaoting helped him wipe away his tears.
Mu Shaowu then realized that he had also cried.
His face was already ice-cold.
"I'll go for a medical check-up after I finish filming. I'll send you the report when the results come out."
"Okay," Mu Zheng said.
Mu Shaowu hung up the phone, thinking to himself that life is truly unpredictable, and his brother's life has not been easy either.
Luckily, his son was quick-witted!
How come his son is so quick-witted?!
That's amazing!
Mu Shaowu sent a WeChat message to his baby: "Baby, you've done another great job, you're such a lucky star in our family!"
As Ye Qingxi listened, she thought to herself that Mu Zheng had called Mu Shaowu to talk about Qin Luan.
This morning, while Qin Cheng was away, his grandfather told him that Qin Luan's test results were in and that she did indeed have some health problems, but fortunately, they were discovered early and could be treated.
“Thanks to you,” he said. “Your uncle wanted to call you last night after the results came out, but you were already asleep, so I didn’t let him disturb you. He said he would tell you when you woke up in the morning.”
Ye Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, then Uncle won't lose Aunt, and Brother won't be without Mother."
Mu Feng nodded.
He patted Ye Qingxi's head gently.
"After you and your brother get out of school this afternoon, we'll go for a physical exam together."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
At his grandfather's age, he definitely needs a full-body checkup.
Now, Ye Qingxi feels that his father needs it too!
After all, his father is the protagonist's direct rival!
Who knows if they'll arrange for him to have some terminal illness!
"Dad, you should take care of yourself too~ Grandpa and I are going for a physical exam this afternoon, do you want to get one too?"
“Your uncle has arranged it for me. I’ll go as soon as I finish work.”
Ye Qingxi was relieved; that was good.
“Then Dad, you should finish filming as soon as possible and go do it,” he said.
"Okay," Mu Shaowu said with a smile.
His son is so kind; he even knows to care about his son's medical check-up!
What a sweet little darling!
Mu Shaowu turned to his agent and said cheekily, "It's getting cold, don't you think we need to get a checkup?"
Agent: ? ? ? !!!
Are you feeling unwell?
"No, it's very comfortable~" Mu Shaowu clutched his chest, "It's warm and comforting."
Agent: "Then you said medical check-up?"
It startled him.
"Didn't your son remind you to take care of your health and get a checkup?" Mu Shaowu revealed his true intentions, stabbing his agent in the heart.
broker:……
"Oh!" Mu Shaowu clicked his tongue. "I forgot, you don't have a son."
"Sigh." Mu Shaowu sighed, then patted his shoulder reassuringly. "It's alright. Not all sons are as considerate as my son. You know, some sons are still alive, but they're already dead."
broker:……
The agent was speechless!
He didn't know!
He knows nothing!
He has no son!
gas!
So what if you have a good son!
That's really remarkable, considering his son is truly exceptional!
I want to... QAQ
