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

Even though twenty years have passed, Ji Zeqiu can still remember the scene and the painful feeling of having his stomach bloated.

His father was always so strict at times. Even if he hugged his father's legs and cried and said he didn't want to eat anymore, it was of no use.

"If your son doesn't want to eat, don't let him eat. What if he upsets his stomach?" Lin Xu felt sorry for Ji Zeqiu and held him in her arms to coax him.

"If we don't do this, he won't learn his lesson. Let's see if he dares to force others to eat again in the future." Ji Yanli picked up the can that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it back into Ji Zeqiu's hand. "There are five or six pieces left. Eat them quickly."

Even the mother's dissuasion was of no use.

After he ate the biscuits that day, his stomach was so bloated that he couldn't even walk.

Now hearing these words from Xie Changyan's mouth again, the fear from his childhood suddenly surged up, and Ji Zeqiu was so scared that he dared not say a word.

Lin Xu glared at Xie Changyan and said unhappily, "What are you eating? Have you forgotten that you made Ze Qiu finish a can of biscuits? That day, his stomach was so bloated that he couldn't get out of bed. You don't feel sorry for your son, but I do."

Xie Changyan seemed to have remembered this incident as well, with a trace of guilt in his eyes, "Didn't I give him some digestive pills afterwards? He recovered in a few hours."

"If your stomach is broken, can it be solved by taking a few digestive tablets?" Lin Xu glared at him.

Xie Changyan seemed to be scared. He touched his nose and didn't dare to speak.

Ji Zeqiu felt that his movements were somewhat familiar.

Inexplicable.

Ji Zeqiu seemed to see some of his father's shadow in Xie Changyan.

The next moment, his body suddenly stopped and he shook his head violently.

No, no.

How could Xie Changyan be his father? Absolutely not!

Ji Zeqiu muttered a few words in his mind and confirmed his idea. However, he hesitated about the plate of grilled skewers in front of Lin Xu, and finally gave it to Ji Tingyang and Ji Yuqiao.

This was not because he was afraid, but because his mother could not eat so much.

As noon approached, the temperature in the air became hotter and hotter.

The shade under the tree gradually shortened, completely exposing the five people under the tree to the scorching sun.

"Why don't we go to the boss's shop to take a break? There's air conditioning and ice cream in there." Ji Yuqiao suggested.

Xie Changyan and the others had no objection, so they simply packed up their things and walked towards the store by the lake.

As soon as she stepped into the store, a gust of cool air hit her in the face. Ji Yuqiao felt her body and mind relaxed and she ate cup after cup of ice cream.

Ji Yuqiao didn't stop talking until her stomach started to ache slightly.

"I just ate so much barbecue and now I want to eat so much ice cream. It would be strange if my stomach doesn't hurt when I combine the cold with the hot." Ji Tingyang frowned.

"Does your stomach hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Lin Xu looked worried.

"No, I'll just go to the toilet." Ji Yuqiao bent over and covered her stomach, and it became difficult for her to speak.

After asking the boss for the direction of the toilet, Ji Yuqiao rushed there.

"How about going to buy some medicine for Lan Yue?" After Ji Yuqiao walked away, he could still faintly hear Lin Xu's worried voice.

……

Ji Yuqiao squatted in the bathroom for more than ten minutes, until her legs were numb, and then she came out of the bathroom.

She held onto the wall and limped out with difficulty.

However, after taking only two steps, he saw Xiao Yu coming towards him.

He was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that Ji Yuqiao's shoes were not damaged, the expression on his face suddenly became shocked.

He quickly rushed to Ji Yuqiao's side and asked nervously, "Is your leg injured?"

"I'll take you to the hospital." Without waiting for Ji Yuqiao to speak, Xiao Yu picked her up and hurried out.

"No need to go to the hospital, just let me go!" Ji Yuqiao waved her hands, trying to struggle out of his arms.

However, no matter how she struggled, Xiao Yu held her steadily and walked out.

"You are injured, you have to go to the hospital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu felt a sudden sharp pain in his shoulder.

Ji Yuqiao bit his shoulder hard, with such force that it seemed as if she was going to bite off his flesh.

Seeing that the strength in his hands had loosened, Ji Yuqiao quickly jumped out of his arms and stepped back violently, a few meters away from him.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ji Yuqiao looked at him coldly and said sternly.

"You told me to get lost and not to appear in front of you again, and I did it. But you keep appearing in front of me. What do you want to do?"

"Or do you want to trick me into stealing something for you again? Don't waste your energy. No matter what you say, I won't believe it." Ji Yuqiao said expressionlessly.

"I, I didn't..." Xiao Yu paused and murmured, "I just saw that you were injured and wanted to send you to the hospital..."

"What does my injury have to do with you?" Ji Yuqiao sneered, "Or, are you in love with me?"

Xiao Yu choked.

He wanted to tell her that it was exactly as she thought.

But when he was about to speak, he heard Ji Yuqiao's sneer in his ear, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't like me even if humans became extinct? Is it not only the extinction of humans, but also the end of the world?"

Seeing the indifference in Ji Yuqiao's eyes, the enthusiasm in Xiao Yu's chest suddenly cooled.

I can't say anything.

The words he had said before were like a knife, cutting through his heart again and again, causing such pain that his body was covered in sweat.

He began to regret it.

I regret why I said that in the first place.

He clenched his fists so hard that his nails dug into his palms and the pain spread.

A sneer escaped Ji Yuqiao's throat, and just as she turned to leave, Xiao Yu grabbed her wrist again.

"Your leg...you need to go to the hospital..." His voice became hoarse.

Before Ji Yuqiao could make any move, a hand grabbed Xiao Yu's wrist.

"Let go." Xie Changyan looked at Xiao Yu, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a stern coldness, "It's not good for both parties to fight in public, what do you think, Mr. Xiao?"

His voice was calm, but Xiao Yu heard a terrifying chill in it. He shuddered and couldn't help but loosen his grip on Ji Yuqiao's hand.

"I... I saw that she was injured and wanted to send her to the hospital. I didn't have any other intentions." Xiao Yu pursed his lips.

Xie Changyan frowned and turned to look at Ji Yuqiao, "Injured?"

Ji Yuqiao quickly shook her head, "I'm fine, my legs are just a little numb from squatting just now."

"Where's your stomach?" Xie Changyan asked again.

"My stomach is fine now." Ji Yuqiao said.

After hearing her words, Xie Changyan's frown finally relaxed, and he turned to look at Xiao Yu.

His deep eyes turned a little colder, "I hope Mr. Xiao will be calmer next time, so as not to let people misunderstand that you have ulterior motives, which would be bad."
