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

Ji Zeqiu's hair and face were wet, and water flowed down his cheeks, leaving a stain on his clothes.

When Lin Xu went downstairs, he saw Ji Zeqiu in such a miserable state. He was so surprised that his mouth opened slightly and he quickly ran over.

"What happened?" She took a few tissues and quickly wiped the water off Ji Zeqiu's face.

Ji Zeqiu bit his lip and looked at Xie Changyan timidly, with a hint of grievance in his eyes.

"Maybe Mr. Xie is angry with me, so he would... so he would..." He hesitated to speak.

The hand that wiped Ji Zeqiu's cheek paused for a moment, and Lin Xu looked at him strangely, "You said Xie Changyan splashed it?"

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips, "Maybe I was clumsy just now and wet Mr. Xie's clothes, so he was angry..."

Lin Xu looked suspicious.

"Don't be angry. I have been trying to stop you and Mr. Xie. It's normal for him to be angry and dislike me. You must not quarrel with him because of this." Ji Zeqiu said pitifully.

"..."

The expression on Lin Xu's face darkened, and his clear eyes were cold. He just stared at Ji Zeqiu quietly without saying a word.

Ji Zeqiu felt uneasy when she looked at him, "What...what happened?"

"Ji Zeqiu, who taught you to lie and frame others?" Lin Xu's tone suddenly became serious and he said sternly.

Although Xie Changyan was strict with his children, she had never seen him hit them.

Besides, Ji Zeqiu is their child, so how could they not like him, let alone throwing water on him.

Ji Zeqiu's heart skipped a beat with fear, and he stammered, "I, I didn't lie..."

"If you don't tell the truth, I won't go out today, and don't ask me to go out to the movies in the future." Lin Xu turned around and left with a cold face.

She sat down on the sofa beside her, turning her head away and no longer looking at Ji Zeqiu.

Xie Changyan raised his lips with a smile, as if gloating over someone else's misfortune. "I advise you to confess as soon as possible, otherwise if she gets angry, the consequences will be very serious. She may ignore you for at least half a month."

Lin Xu is usually very tolerant of his children, but when it comes to certain bottom line issues, he is stricter than his father.

Ji Zeqiu looked at Lin Xu hesitantly, and when he thought about being ignored by Lin Xu for half a month, his expression suddenly became flustered.

He followed and sat down next to Lin Xu.

Before he could say anything, Lin Xu moved his body a dozen centimeters away from him.

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips, carefully tugged at the corner of her clothes, and said in a very low voice, "I'm sorry... I will never lie again..."

Lin Xu turned his back to him and said, "I didn't hear what you said."

Ji Zeqiu bit his lip and glanced at Xie Changyan who was still watching the show nearby, as if he was afraid that he would hear it.

But looking at Lin Xu's gloomy face, with some struggle in his eyes, he still spoke.

"I'm sorry, I spilled the water myself. I shouldn't have lied and slandered Xie Changyan." Ji Zeqiu raised his voice this time. Xie Changyan must have heard it and was probably laughing at him in his heart.

Just laugh it off.

A mother is always more important than face.

Thinking of this, Ji Zeqiu tugged at the corner of her clothes again, "I'm sorry, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

"I'm afraid that you will be deceived by Xie Changyan." He was also afraid that she would be snatched away by Xie Changyan.

"And you clearly said before that you liked me the most." It would be fine if there was one more Ji Tingyang, but now there is also one more Xie Changyan.

"As a result, after he showed up, he was the only one in your heart, and we even took him with us when we went out."

"I lied in a fit of anger. I'm sorry..." Ji Zeqiu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke.

He bit his lower lip tightly, trying hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart.

When Lin Xu heard his son's crying, the anger that had been burning just now disappeared instantly.

She turned around and saw Ji Zeqiu's slightly red eyes, and her hard heart softened a little.

She rubbed Ji Zeqiu's head and sighed, "Mom is sorry for you. Maybe I have neglected you during this period. When you are on vacation at home, can I spend more time with you?"

"But no matter what, lying is not acceptable, and neither is framing others. If I find out about it again, I will never talk to you again."

Hearing her say this, Ji Zeqiu hurriedly raised his palm and assured her, "I will never lie again."

Seeing that the serious expression on Lin Xu's face had eased, Ji Zeqiu knew that she had forgiven him, and he felt relieved in his heart.

He leaned over and hugged Lin Xu gently, "Mother, are you not angry with me anymore?"

"Well, I'm not angry anymore."

"Then can we not bring Xie Changyan with us when we go out today..." He took the opportunity to make a request.

"I told you this morning, it's really just the two of us." Lin Xu patted his back lightly.

Then he looked up and glared at Xie Changyan.

Even though he knew his son was sensitive and insecure, this man still liked to tease his son all the time.

Hearing Lin Xu's words, Ji Zeqiu's grievances suddenly disappeared, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

He knew that his mother cared about him the most.

Xie Changyan smiled helplessly and walked up to rub Ji Zeqiu's head.

Ji Zeqiu looked a little unhappy, but he had just done something wrong, and Lin Xu was still here, so it was not easy for him to shake his hand off. He could only put on a serious face and let him touch him.

In a short while, Ji Zeqiu's hair, which had just been styled in the morning, was messed up by him.

Ji Zeqiu glared at Xie Changyan secretly but dared not say anything in anger.

Xie Changyan withdrew his hand, stood up and said, "Okay, let him go upstairs to change his clothes. I have to go back to work too."

"Well, be careful on the road." Lin Xu said.

It was not until Xie Changyan left that Ji Zeqiu, who had been sullen a second ago, suddenly became happy. The light bulb was finally gone.

The corners of his lips were raised with a smile on his face. "Mother, I'm going to go upstairs to change my clothes. We'll go out later. Please wait for me."

After saying that, he quickly got up and went upstairs.

……

It was not known whether Ji Zeqiu’s complaint that day softened Lin Xu’s heart, but he did not see Xie Changyan at Ji’s house for several days.

It was just that Ji Yuqiao would occasionally ask a few questions and would also call Xie Changyan to ask him why he wanted to take her out to play.

"I'm busy with an important project these days. I'll come to see you after I finish it in a few days."

"Where do you want to go?" Xie Changyan asked again.

"Let's go for a picnic in the suburbs!" Ji Yuqiao answered immediately.

She had watched a variety show before and found it quite interesting for people to have picnics and barbecues on the lawn in the suburbs.

It might be fun if they went as a family.

However, Ji Zeqiu was very resistant, "It's either me or him, it's either him or me!"

Ji Yuman said nonchalantly: "Oh, then there's no you."

Ji Zeqiu: “……?”
