Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Xu found his words strange.
She turned around and saw Ji Zi’ang standing at the entrance, changing his shoes with his head lowered.
Li Xu did not move as she stared at Ji Zi’ang.
After changing his shoes, he walked quickly to his room with his head still lowered.
His room was next to the kitchen, and he happened to pass by Li Xu when he walked over.
Li Xu grabbed him, “What happened? Is there money on the ground or something?”
The two of them were so close that Li Xu could already see his face without him looking up.
The smile on her face gradually disappeared. Her face was cold, “Did you get into a fight?”
When Zhang Kun returned home, it was almost eight o’clock at night.
“The unit gave us some grapes. They’re quite big and sweet. Wash them for the children to eat.” Zhang Kun said as he changed his shoes.
However, no one responded to Zhang Kun for a few seconds.
He stuck his head out strangely and looked at the living room.
Li Xu, Ji Yuanyuan, and Ji Zixuan were sitting in a row on the sofa with serious expressions.
After he changed his shoes, he was a little nervous, “What’s wrong? Waiting for me?”
Did he make any mistakes? Why is everyone so serious?
Could it be that he was too late? However, he got off work late and the journey was long.
“No!” Li Xu sighed and stood up from the sofa. She reached out and took the grapes from Zhang Kun’s hand.
“Get your Dad a glass of water.” Li Xu instructed as they walked towards the kitchen.
“I’m not thirsty. There’s no need to pour it.” Zhang Kun quickly said.
Ji Yuanyuan had already stood up and went to get some water.
Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, she sighed and said, “You’d better drink a glass. I’m afraid your mouth will be so dry you won’t be able to drink water later.”
Ji Yuanyuan took Zhang Kun’s cup and filled it with water. She then placed the cup in front of him.
Only then did Zhang Kun realize that only Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan were there.
He didn’t know where Ji Zi’ang had gone.
“Where’s your Second Brother?” he asked Ji Yuanyuan.
“Dad, drink some water first,” Ji Yuanyuan said.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan repeatedly urging him to drink water, Zhang Kun picked up the glass of water with a heart full of suspicion and took a big gulp.
Ji Yuanyuan then pointed at Ji Zi’ang’s room and said, “He brought a lot of classmates to fight with others. Mom beat him up with a rolling pin just now. He’s crying in the room!”
Zhang Kun opened his mouth wide. After a while, he asked, “Group fight?”
“Yes, I caught him red-handed in front of an unfinished building on South Ring Road.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “He’s the organizer and brought seven or eight people with him.”
Zhang Kun laughed, “Our son is getting more and more capable. He’s forming cliques in school and even learning how to fight.”
He got up and was about to go to his room to talk to him.
However, the door was locked from the inside and Zhang Kun could not open it.
“Open the door. If you have the ability to fight, why don’t you dare to see us now?” Zhang Kun said coldly.
As soon as Zhang Kun finished speaking, Ji Zi’ang said, “Ji Yuanyuan, you only badmouth me. Why don’t you tell me who I fought for? You’re not objective at all. To think that I’ve always been so good to you. I’ve really doted on you for nothing.”
His voice was still choked with sobs, clearly feeling extremely wronged.
Zhang Kun looked at Ji Yuanyuan suspiciously.
“I told Mom just now that Second Brother fought because of Big Brother.” Ji Yuanyuan replied. “Big Brother won the first prize previously. Someone was unconvinced and said bad things about Big Brother, so Second Brother brought people to fight.”
“I’m not doing this for myself. Besides, I’m injured too. I’m in pain! None of you care about me. Do I have no sense of existence in this family?”
As he spoke, Li Xu had already come out of the kitchen.
Li Xu’s expression turned cold again. She placed the washed grapes on the table and reprimanded, “According to what you said, should I reward you? Reward you for standing up for your Big Brother and getting an honorable injury?”
“That’s not necessary, but it’s wrong for you to hit me. You said that I was wrong to fight, so is it right for you to hit me?” The more he spoke, the more agitated he became.
Through the door, Ji Yuanyuan could imagine Ji Zi’ang’s saliva flying everywhere.
Li Xu had a shocked expression and wanted to retort, but she couldn’t say a word.
“I’m your Mother!” In the end, Li Xu could only say this.
“You adults are too unreasonable. When you have nothing to say, you like to use this sentence to pressure others! So what if you’re my mother? Just because you’re my mother, you can hit me? It’s illegal for parents to hit their children, do you understand?”
“You…” Li Xu put down the grapes and was about to argue with Ji Zi’ang.
Zhang Kun pulled her back and whispered, “Alright, alright, you don’t have to say anymore.” Although what he did was wrong, what he said was quite right.”
Ji Zi’ang was already so old. How could she hit him just like that?
In disbelief, Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun and asked, “Whose side are you on?”
Ji Yuanyuan also rushed forward and pulled Li Xu back. “Mom, let Dad talk to Second Brother alone.”
She pulled Li Xu and was about to walk to the master bedroom.
Li Xu didn’t struggle much and took advantage of the situation. After entering the house, she instructed Zhang Kun, “The grapes are ready. You can all eat them later!”
Zhang Kun stood in front of Ji Zi’ang’s door and nodded at Li Xu.
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan entered the room. Just as Ji Yuanyuan was about to close the door, Li Xu quickly stepped forward and grabbed the door.
She closed the door gently, but not completely.
A very, very small gap was revealed. She leaned against the door frame and looked at the movements outside.
Zhang Kun picked up the grapes on the dining table and walked to Ji Zi’ang’s door.
He took a deep breath as if he was trying to control his emotions.
A moment later, he forced a smile and said in a low voice, “Zi’ang, open the door! Your mother and the others have already entered their room.”
As he spoke, he knocked on the door twice.
Ji Zi’ang said something inside the door, and Zhang Kun turned around to take a look.
Li Xu was so scared that she quickly shrank back and hid behind the wardrobe.
After dodging, Li Xu came back to his senses.
She had left such a small gap, Zhang Kun would definitely not be able to see her from outside.
She tiptoed behind the door and peeked through the crack.
Unfortunately, Zhang Kun’s figure had already disappeared.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment. Then, she opened the door and walked into the living room.
Looking around, Zhang Kun was nowhere to be seen.
It looked like he had entered Ji Zi’ang’s room.
She did not know what the father and son were talking about, but Li Xu felt as if her heart was being scratched.
She really wanted to eavesdrop, but she held back. If Ji Zi’ang found out, wouldn’t he explode?
When she returned to the master bedroom, Ji Yuanyuan was sitting in front of the computer, typing rapidly..
