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

Ji Tingyang's expression was gloomy, his ink-black eyes were grim, and his tone was full of anger.

As soon as the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ji Tingyang looked at the wound on Lin Xu's knee, his face hiding a trace of panic and worry, and his brows were furrowed for a long time.

Perhaps the psychological trauma from the two previous car accidents was too great for Ji Tingyang, and he was terrified every time he saw Lin Xu injured.

Lin Xu knew that he was worried about her, so she took his hand and comforted him, "It's just a skin break on my knee, I'm not a child, there's no need to be so nervous."

Xie Changyan put aside his usual leisure and looked at Ji Tingyang with deep eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Ji Tingyang stood up.

Ji Tingyang looked away and said calmly, "I'm going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and band-aids," and then walked over.

Xie Changyan looked at his back as he left angrily, touched his nose, and said awkwardly, "It seems that I have made my son angry."

"You should talk to him in detail later, and everything will be fine once you get it out." Lin Xu said.

Xie Changyan retracted his gaze and looked at the wound on Lin Xu's knee. He was silent for a while, "I'm sorry, it's also my fault that I didn't take good care of you."

"You have protected me in your first reaction." Lin Xu reached out and rubbed his frown.

There was a huge crowd in the park and Lin Xu accidentally fell to the ground, which no one could have predicted.

If Xie Changyan hadn't reacted by standing behind her, she would have definitely been stepped on by the surging crowd, and in serious cases, there might even have been a stampede.

Xie Changyan half-knelt in front of her, took her hand and kissed the back of it, with a hint of self-blame in his eyes.

Not far away, Ji Tingyang stood there with a bag in his hand, looking at them deeply. His deep eyes were hidden under the mottled shade of the trees, and it was impossible to see the emotions deep in his eyes at this moment.

After a while, Ji Tingyang walked over.

He first rinsed and disinfected Lin Xu's wound, and then covered it with a Band-Aid.

Only after he could no longer see Lin Xu's injuries did the solemn expression on Ji Tingyang's face ease a little.

After finishing these things, Lin Xu stood up and walked around the two of them a few times, "Look, I'm really fine."

As if to prove it to Ji Tingyang and dispel his worries, she stomped her feet hard.

"I saw it. If you stomp your legs again, they will become numb." Ji Tingyang quickly stopped her.

His emotions gradually calmed down and he was no longer as panicked as he was at the beginning.

Lin Xu secretly gave Xie Changyan a look, then looked at Ji Tingyang, asking him and his son to ease the atmosphere.

As soon as Xie Changyan opened his mouth, Ji Tingyang changed the subject, "There are too many people here, and the crowd is too dangerous. Let's go somewhere else to play."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Xu and walked out of the park, leaving Xie Changyan behind.

A helpless breath came from Xie Changyan's throat, and he had no choice but to take a step forward and catch up.

They visited many places along the way, and whenever Xie Changyan wanted to say something to Ji Tingyang, he would always take the initiative to change the subject.

The two didn't say another word until they returned to the hotel that night.

When Ji Yuqiao came back from get out of class, she noticed the unpleasant atmosphere between Xie Changyan and Ji Tingyang, "Mother, what happened?"

"Your eldest brother and your father had a quarrel and they are having a quarrel." Lin Xu explained to her.

Hearing her words, Ji Tingyang blushed and retorted, "It's not a quarrel!"

See it.

Lin Xu shrugged at Ji Yuqiao.

Ji Yuqiao said in a mature tone: "Brother, you are almost 30 years old, so stop getting angry with the child and your father."

"You're an adult now. Don't let your mother call you in the morning. Get up by yourself." Ji Tingyang imitated her words and fought back.

Ji Yuqiao's mouth pursed and he immediately fell silent.

Ji Tingyang tugged at his collar irritably and turned back to his room.

"Go in quickly and have a good talk with the child." Lin Xu looked at Xie Changyan and nodded in the direction of the room.

He motioned Xie Changyan to follow in.

"It will be really troublesome when the child grows up." Xie Changyan shook his head.

A five or six-year-old child can calm down by just giving him a lollipop or letting him take a nap, but a child in his twenties still needs a lot of effort to coax him.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Changyan still entered Ji Tingyang's room.

The room was not locked, so Xie Changyan turned the handle and went in.

After seeing him come in, Ji Tingyang's tone became stiff, "What are you doing here?"

Xie Changyan hesitated for a moment and said, "I failed to protect your mother, so you have every right to blame me."

"I have been thinking about this for a while. If I hadn't taken your mother out that day 20 years ago, or if I was the only one who died then..."

"Then you three siblings wouldn't have had such a hard time over the years."

Ji Tingyang's sharp tone suddenly softened a bit, "That's not what I meant. I never thought of letting you die in place of your mother."

He just hoped that both of them would be okay.

"I've always told you that as the eldest, you have to protect your younger brothers and sisters." Xie Changyan paused, "I always wonder if these words have become a shackle, forcing you, who are only seven years old, to bear such a heavy responsibility."

Ji Tingyang felt a sour taste in his nose, and his eyes seemed to turn red. He turned his head away, and his low voice was a little hoarse, "It's not like that..."

Xie Changyan walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Now that we are back, you can put down the burden on your shoulders and do what you want to do."

The sourness at the tip of his nose spread throughout his body. All kinds of complicated emotions rolled in his chest. Ji Tingyang's throat felt as if it was blocked by something.

He looked at Xie Changyan deeply, and his vision gradually became blurred.

Thousands of thoughts surged in Ji Tingyang's heart. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a rustling sound at the door.

"I told you, my brother's eyes are red, he must be crying." Ji Yuqiao peeped in through the crack in the door and whispered to Lin Xu, "Father's words were so touching that even I couldn't help crying after listening to them. I'm sure my brother can't help crying either."

Lin Xu also rubbed her red eyes, her voice choking with sobs, "I'm already crying."

"I've never seen big brother cry, so why aren't her eyes red anymore?" Ji Yuqiao stretched her neck and looked inside, almost putting her entire head into the room.

"..."

Hearing the two people's muttering outside the door, the bitterness that had just risen in Ji Tingyang's heart suddenly subsided, and his mood also eased.

He glanced at the two people at the door with a calm expression, "Do you want to come in and take a look?"

Ji Yuqiao laughed dryly: "How embarrassing."
