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

Seeing Ji Zeqiu coming back, Lin Xu stopped watching the TV series and immediately walked to the entrance to see him.

"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me when you came back so that I could pick you up at the airport."

"How come you've lost so much weight in just over half a month? Do you usually eat on time? Are you dieting again?"

Lin Xu felt sorry for her son and held his thin face, looking left and right.

Ji Zeqiu came back to his senses from the shock just now. Listening to Lin Xu's concern, his beautiful eyes were filled with ripples, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "I ate well."

Ji Zeqiu handed her the bag in his hand and said, "I bought a pair of earrings."

"I didn't buy it especially for you. It's just that when I passed by that jewelry store, the clerk kept recommending it to me. I found it annoying, so I bought it..." His eyes flashed, and he put his fist to his lips and coughed.

Lin Xu knew that he was not honest by nature, so she pursed her lips and smiled.

What this sentence means is that it was bought specially for her.

"Thank you for the gift from our Ze Qiu. I like it very much." Lin Xu put it directly on her earlobe and winked at him. "How is it? Does it look good?"

Ji Zeqiu's eyes flashed with shyness for a moment, "It looks good."

My mother looks good in anything she wears.

Just when he was about to say something, Ji Yuqiao also ran over and spread his hands to Ji Zeqiu, "Second brother, where is my gift?"

There was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Ji Zeqiu glanced at her and said calmly, "Forgot."

"... Stupid second brother, I will never be friends with you again!" Ji Yuqiao stomped her feet angrily, turned around and left.

Ji Zeqiu didn't care.

At this moment, Ji Tingyang also looked over and said, "Don't block the door when you come back. Do you think you are so thin? Even the housekeeper can't get out."

Ji Zeqiu's eyes suddenly burst into anger and he glared at Ji Tingyang fiercely.

"Your brother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He means for you to put your luggage away and go upstairs to have some rest." Lin Xu said immediately.

Ji Tingyang pursed his lips and was about to say something when he received a sharp look from Lin Xu.

Not daring to sneer any more, he shrugged, "Just take that as what I meant."

Ji Zeqiu snorted coldly and dragged his suitcase up to the second floor.

After a while, he put his luggage away and went downstairs again.

He stood at the corner of the stairs and saw that Lin Xu and Ji Yuqiao were no longer in the living room.

Only Ji Tingyang and Xie Changyan were left sitting on the sofa, seemingly talking about something.

Although Ji Tingyang looked impatient, Ji Zeqiu was still keenly aware that the atmosphere between them had changed.

The next moment, Lin Xu's voice was heard from the backyard, calling out Xie Changyan.

Xie Changyan stood up and walked towards the backyard.

Ji Zeqiu came down from the corner and sat opposite Ji Tingyang with a cold face, "You traitor, I knew you were unreliable!"

Ji Tingyang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, as if he didn't understand what he said.

"Why did you let Xie Changyan in, and why did you let him get so close to my mother? Didn't you say he was a liar?"

"Have you been bribed by him?!" Ji Zeqiu asked a series of questions.

"I'm not Lan Yue, how could I be bribed?" Ji Tingyang looked indifferent.

"Why don't you throw him out then?"

"He opened the code box that belonged to my father."

"Is that why?"

"He also knows the code to the study safe, and can tell us about our past..."

"So you believe he is the father?"

Ji Tingyang paused, lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the expression in his eyes, "I don't know."

"Then you..." Ji Zeqiu was about to get angry when he heard Ji Tingyang's next words.

"What I said doesn't count. You should think about it yourself," said Ji Tingyang.

Ji Zeqiu's cheeks were covered with a layer of frost. "It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. Anyway, I won't believe him."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

……

night.

Ji Zeqiu sat down at the dining table as usual and saw an extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the table. "Mrs. Zhang, did you take too much?"

Mrs. Zhang counted them and said, "Not much."

"But……"

Before Ji Zeqiu finished speaking, he saw Xie Changyan sitting down very naturally, and he sat next to Lin Xu.

His movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that he had eaten here often.

Ji Zeqiu's expression suddenly turned cold, "Boss Xie, it's not appropriate for you to be here."

"Oh? What's inappropriate?" Xie Changyan raised his eyebrows slightly.

“This is a family dinner at our house.”

"As a member of the family, isn't it appropriate for me to be here?"

"It's appropriate!" Ji Yuqiao nodded immediately, and then poked Ji Zeqiu with his elbow, "Second brother, stop talking and eat."

Lin Xu also persuaded: "Ze Qiu, I have said many times that he is your father."

If it were in the past, Ji Tingyang would probably follow him and curse Xie Changyan.

But now.

Ji Zeqiu glanced at the silent Ji Tingyang and clenched his hands. Seeing them all heading towards Xie Changyan, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness of fighting alone.

His face turned pale, he didn't even eat, and got up and went back to the bedroom.

It’s all Xie Changyan’s fault.

Not only did he deceive his mother, he also bribed his sister. Now even that bastard Ji Tingyang has been turned against him.

When he was sulking in the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Ze Qiu, your body won't be able to bear it if you don't eat. I'll bring you some food. Can you open the door for me?"

Lin Xu's voice came from outside.

Ji Zeqiu bit his lip, the anger in his heart had not yet dissipated.

He wanted to have a cold war with Lin Xu to protest, but after enduring it again and again, he couldn't help but open the door.

The moment he saw Lin Xu, the grievance in his eyes almost overflowed.

"No matter how angry you are, you have to eat first, otherwise you will starve yourself." Lin Xu put the tray in his hand on the table.

Ji Zeqiu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the grievance and anger in his chest, but he only felt his chest become more stuffy.

He pursed his lips, and his ears and tail almost drooped to the ground. "I'm not in the mood. I can't eat."

"You really can't eat? How about I feed you?"

Ji Zeqiu's eyes lit up for a moment, but when he saw Lin Xu's mischievous look, he immediately returned to his previous listlessness.

Lin Xu touched his head and said, "Okay, don't always look at Xie Changyan with hostility. Put aside your prejudice and take a closer look at him. You will find that he is really your father."

"Shall we eat now?"

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.

But I don’t agree with it in my heart.

I just think Ji Tingyang is too useless. He can't even guard against Xie Changyan.

He must find a way to drive Xie Changyan out of their house.
