After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Ji Tingyang hung his head for a long time, and then seemed to think of something, suddenly raised his head and lifted her sleeves.

Seeing that the gauze wrapped both arms almost tightly, her eyes suddenly turned red again.

"You lied to me!" Ji Tingyang's pupils trembled slightly, he was shocked and hurt.

There were so many bandages on her body that it seemed as if they were sold by the pound. If she had just fallen accidentally, how could it be so serious?

Could it be...that there are injuries elsewhere?

Thinking of this, Ji Tingyang immediately lifted up her tightly covered collar and saw the same gauze on her neck, then he lifted the corner of her clothes.

Lin Xu hurriedly grabbed his hand and screamed, "Wait! Don't take off my clothes!"

The nanny next to her was also startled and quickly turned back to her room, fearing that she would see something she shouldn't see.

These two men were so bold that they were eager to take off their clothes while she was still there.

As an outsider, it was not appropriate for her to interfere in other people's affairs, so the nanny shook her head and went into the room.

After a moment, he picked up the phone again, hesitating whether he should report to Ji Zeqiu.

in the living room.

After hearing Lin Xu's dissuasion, Ji Tingyang realized that something was wrong and quickly let go of her hand. His cheeks were red and anxious, and he stammered: "I, I just want to see if you have any injuries elsewhere..."

"It's gone. There's really no injury." Lin Xu smiled helplessly and straightened his messy clothes.

Ji Tingyang didn't believe her and stared at her with his gloomy eyes, which made Lin Xu feel more guilty.

"Are you hungry? The nanny just cooked chicken soup. Let's eat together?" She laughed dryly and changed the subject.

"..." Ji Tingyang didn't say anything.

Lin Xu slowly stopped smiling and stood obediently, as if she was the child being scolded by her parents.

"What's wrong with your injury? Don't lie to me!" Ji Tingyang asked again.

Lin Xu knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to tell him the whole story.

When he heard that Lin Xu also fell off the cliff with Ji Zeqiu, his eyes turned bloodshot and even his breathing became difficult.

His chest heaved violently, as if he couldn't breathe, and he breathed heavily. The hands that were holding her wrists became tighter and tighter, causing Lin Xu to cry out in pain.

Lin Xu also noticed that something was wrong with him, so she took a step forward and hugged him in her arms, patting his back gently with both hands, "It's okay, it's okay, you see I'm fine now, don't worry."

Her voice was gentle, like a spring breeze.

As if afraid that she would disappear, Ji Tingyang hugged her back tightly, his throat choked with an imperceptible sob, "Don't hide anything from me in the future."

What if she were to encounter danger again, and I were to be like I was twenty years ago, knowing nothing and unable to even see her for the last time?

So what should he do...

"I'm sorry, I just don't want you to worry." Lin Xu sighed. He didn't expect that he would make him worry in the end.

Ji Tingyang was reluctant to blame her, but he still had to scold Ji Zeqiu, "It's all because of that loser Ji Zeqiu."

Not only did he fail to protect his mother, but he even asked his mother to protect him in return.

No use at all.

Lin Xu pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, knowing that Ji Tingyang just wanted to vent his frustration, so she let him curse.

After Ji Tingyang cursed for a few times, he suddenly realized that Ji Zeqiu was unreliable, and then said to Lin Xu: "Don't stay here, I'll take you home."

"Ah?" Lin Xu was stunned.

Ji Tingyang led her to the door, but found that she was frozen in place, with no intention of going with him.

The hand holding her froze.

Doesn’t she want to go back with me because she likes Ji Zeqiu more?

Ji Tingyang hadn't thought about Wen Li for a long time, but now he suddenly thought of her.

At first, Wen Li was the only one around him, but for some reason, many people gradually appeared around her. She no longer paid attention to him, and her eyes could only accommodate Xiao Yu.

Finally left him.

Now mother is going to be like Wen Li, no longer liking him and leaving him?

He began to worry that the warmth he had finally gotten from Lin Xu would slip away, and even breathing became difficult.

Ji Tingyang's breathing stagnated for a moment, and the idea of ​​forcibly taking Lin Xu home and trapping her in the villa flashed through his mind.

In this way, will his mother belong to him forever, and even Ji Zeqiu and his sister can't take her away from him?

He will take good care of her in the villa and will not let her get hurt like Ji Zeqiu. Nothing will happen to her and she will not leave him again.

All kinds of dark thoughts grew somewhere in his heart, entwining and surrounding him like vines, urging him to do this...

Suddenly, a pair of warm little hands touched his skin, bringing him back to his senses.

Lin Xu held his cheeks with both hands, "Don't think too much, mom will always love you."

Ji Tingyang lowered his eyes, his tone seemed to be a little aggrieved, "Then why don't you come home with me..."

"Because the company's project has not been completed yet, aren't you still waiting for Ji Zeqiu's endorsement? So I'm staying here because of you."

"Think about it, if I don't stay, the Ji family's situation will become difficult again. Will you have to work overtime day and night again? How distressed I would be then."

"And won't the company lose a lot of money? Will you also have less money? How are you going to support me in this case? Are you going to ignore your health and work hard to make money?"

"So I stayed here because I feel sorry for you!" Lin Xu lied.

Ji Tingyang, who used to be a leader in the business world and was very shrewd in all kinds of calculations in project cooperation, did not doubt Lin Xu's words at all and was coaxed by her.

The wilted little flowers on its head suddenly straightened up, as if they had received the warmth of the sun, and bloomed exceptionally brilliantly.

The corners of Ji Tingyang's lips couldn't help but rise up.

I didn't expect him to be so easy to please.

Lin Xu smiled and said, "Okay, come and have lunch together."

I just refused to have dinner with him, but unexpectedly, we are now having lunch together at Ji Zeqiu's house.

at night.

Ji Tingyang once again dreamed of the scene at Lin Xu's funeral twenty years ago.

As far as the eye could see, there was low-key solemnity in black and white. Ji Zeqiu's crying voice echoed in his ears. His baby sister, who was still in the cradle, was also infected by the atmosphere and burst into tears without knowing why.

Ji Tingyang only felt a heaviness in his chest, as if a huge rock had fallen down, making it hard for him to breathe.

His forehead was covered with sweat and he suddenly opened his eyes.

He stared at the ceiling blankly for a long time, then picked up the phone on the bedside table and took out a group photo from the album.

Ji Tingyang looked at the camera nervously but seriously, Lin Xu leaned close to his cheek and smiled sweetly.

This is the photo he took with Lin Xu today.

He stared at the photo for a long while, until the uneasiness disappeared, then he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
