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

After Ji Yuqiao got out of the car, he ran all the way into the house. At this time, Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu were already sitting on the sofa.

The walls of the living room were covered with decorations and ribbons, and colorful balloons were scattered in every corner of the house.

When she ran in, she could still smell the aroma of food and cake in the air.

Ji Yuqiao panted heavily and threw her small schoolbag onto the sofa. "I'm not late, am I?"

"Mother hasn't come back yet, there's no need to worry." Ji Tingyang said calmly.

"That's good. I thought I came back late." Ji Yuqiao sat down on the sofa and calmed herself down.

She thought she came back late, and was so scared that she just left Zhao Jiayan in the library and ran away.

I don't remember clearly what he seemed to be saying to me at that time.

I'd better find time to apologize to him later.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ji Zeqiu wrinkled his nose and said with disdain, "Some people came later than you."

Ji Yuqiao looked around and it took him a while to realize that the some people he was talking about were Xie Changyan.

When the three siblings were young, they could not remember Lin Xu’s birthday. When they grew up, they still didn’t know when Lin Xu’s birthday was.

So much so that Lin Xu celebrated birthdays for both brothers, and they didn't even think about celebrating their mother's birthday.

So much so that they only realized this matter belatedly after Xie Changyan reminded them.

However, Lin Xu was about to return, but the person who took the lead in planning had not yet arrived.

Ji Zeqiu snorted in dissatisfaction.

If it was the father, how could he be late even for the mother's birthday?

Only Ji Tingyang would make an excuse and say that Xie Changyan might have been delayed by something.

The way he saw it, that bastard just didn't value his mother enough.

Hearing Ji Zeqiu's words, Ji Yuqiao's eyes flashed with surprise, but she was a person of action, so she immediately took out her cell phone and called Xie Changyan.

"I'll call and ask," she said.

The beeping sounded for a long time, and the call was finally connected just when the ring was about to automatically hang up.

"What's wrong?" Xie Changyan's voice was a little hoarse.

"Father, you didn't forget that we have to celebrate Mother's birthday today, did you?" Ji Yuqiao reminded him, "If you don't come, you'll be late."

As soon as she finished speaking, there were several hoarse coughs from the other end of the phone, as if someone was trying to cough out their lungs.

Ji Yuqiao suddenly became nervous, "Father, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine." Xie Changyan tried hard to suppress the itch in his throat. "I'll be there in a few minutes. Don't worry, I won't be late."

Ji Yuqiao looked at the hung up phone, frowning with a thoughtful look.

"What's wrong?" Ji Tingyang looked over.

"Father seems to be sick." Ji Yuqiao's face showed a trace of worry.

"Are you sick? What's wrong?" The dissatisfaction on Ji Zeqiu's face faded away for a moment, and he became worried and asked hurriedly.

Ji Yuqiao did not answer, but just looked at Ji Zeqiu and blinked, with a hint of mockery in her round eyes.

It was as if he was teasing him about when he started to care so much about Xie Changyan.

Ji Zeqiu's eyes flickered a little, and his face was embarrassed. "I'm not concerned about him. I'm just worried that he will infect us with the disease, and then infect our mother. What if our mother gets sick too?"

Ji Yuqiao and Ji Tingyang looked at each other, and each saw ridicule in the other's eyes.

Ji Tingyang nodded as if in agreement, "You are right. I will ask the housekeeper to lock the door now and not let him in."

"Well...there's no need to lock the door. What if my mother finds out and gets angry?" Ji Tingyang stuttered.

"It's not possible to let him in, and it's not possible not to let him in. So what do you think we should do?" Ji Yuqiao shrugged.

"I, I..." Ji Zeqiu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.

His various thoughts were intertwined, his mind was extremely confused, and his expression was full of entanglement.

Just when he was hesitating, Xie Changyan walked in from outside.

An unnatural blush appeared on his face, and he put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly a few times.

Ji Yuqiao ran over immediately and touched his forehead the first thing he did.

She exclaimed, and pulled her hand back as if she was burned, with all the features on her face twisted together, "Father, you have a fever!"

"Your forehead is so hot. Have you been to the hospital? What did the doctor say? Have you taken any medicine?" she asked anxiously.

"I've taken the medicine, don't worry." Xie Changyan rubbed her head and calmed her excitement.

Although Ji Tingyang didn't say anything, he still stood up and poured him a glass of water.

Xie Changyan took the cup of water and smiled faintly at him.

The next moment, Ji Zeqiu's sarcastic voice was heard, "How come there are still people in this world who can't even take care of their own bodies?"

"Didn't you fall ill before, and your mother had to go to the hospital to take care of you?" Ji Yuqiao glanced at Ji Zeqiu with contempt.

Ji Zeqiu retorted hesitantly, "I, it was just an accident..."

Ji Yuqiao: "You have had so many accidents, so many times."

Ji Zeqiu choked suddenly.

"Father, please sit down and take a rest." Ji Yuqiao pulled Xie Changyan to sit on the sofa, and asked him if he wanted to drink water, and then asked him if he wanted to eat fruit...

Facing his daughter's meticulous care, Xie Changyan's eyebrows were stained with a helpless smile, "I'm not sick to the point where I can't take care of myself, there's no need to be so nervous."

"Okay." Ji Yuqiao finally put aside his urge to take care of her.

"Did your mother say when you will be home?" Xie Changyan asked.

"It's said to be around seven o'clock." Ji Yuqiao replied.

In order to prepare a surprise for his mother, Ji Tingyang gave Lin Xu a beauty coupon, sent her out early in the morning, and then stayed at home with Ji Zeqiu to decorate balloons and ribbons.

Ji Yuqiao glanced at the clock and thought her mother should be back by now.

As I was thinking this, I heard the sound of someone entering a password outside the door.

The three siblings immediately became alert, took the firework tube on the table, stood in the entrance, waiting for the person outside to come in.

There was a "click" sound.

The door was pushed open.

As soon as the person outside the door showed his head, fireworks tubes exploded one after another in the air, blooming colorful paper flowers in the silent night.

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, a big hug fell into her arms.

"Happy birthday, mother!" Ji Yuqiao rubbed her neck, his eyes blooming with a bright smile.

Lin Xu was a little surprised, "How do you know..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Xie Changyan behind them, and she immediately understood.

Her eyes were soft and there was a slight smile on the corners of her lips. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Xie Changyan stagger.
