Ji Shangqing"s words made Ji Lin"s face darken. He turned his head towards the window. As a father, it was a very embarra.s.sing and embarra.s.sing thing for his son to expose his old relations.h.i.+p on the spot.
Ji Lin only had Ji Shangqing as his son. The father and son duo had grown up together, neither too hot nor too cold. If it wasn"t because of the relations.h.i.+p between them, Ji Shangqing would probably stay away from his father.
He realized that the personalities that he had wanted to get rid of were slowly being inherited into his body. Ambition, perseverance, even knowing that it was a fire pit, he still wanted to jump into it.
"Your mother has been gone for a few years. I think that I have treated her quite well, and have done my duty as a father to you." After a long while, Ji Lin sighed with a hint of sadness in his tone.
Ji Shangqing nodded, "Yes, you treat her well, but you don"t love her. You treat me well, because I"m your only son and your inheritance!"
Ji Lin could still hear the resentment in his son"s tone. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I can only say that I have a lingering feeling. Before I married your mother, I loved one woman deeply. Your mother also married me voluntarily. I didn"t force her, she even knew that there was another person in my heart."
"That"s why I said my mom was very silly, thinking that if the woman you like died, you would stop loving her, and instead take pity on her, your honest wife. She was modest and tolerant all her life, and was persistent in waiting, but when she died, you were in prison, and you didn"t even have the chance to see her for the last time. You still owe her." At this moment, Ji Shangqing"s face did not show any signs of sadness or joy, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
A hint of panic flashed across Ji Lin"s heart. He clenched his fists and his eyes sparkled as if someone had exposed his sore spot. His face was pale and green.
"That"s why I want to get my inheritance right back and give it to you as compensation. You are my son, and also my pride. No one can replace you in my heart. Don"t bring up that matter again, okay?" Ji Lin"s words revealed his strong fatherly love. He practically pleaded with Ji Shangqing.
Ji Shangqing nodded: "I didn"t want to mention it anyway. Anyway, it"s not mentioned, it"s already like this for us."
"Then don"t mention it, don"t mention it to anyone." Ji Lin"s face eased up when he saw the other party agree to his request.
Ji Shangqing"s lips curled up in an undetectable sneer. Following which, he sped up his pace.
Ji Lin fell into a long silence. He looked out of the window at the unfamiliar scenery and the unfamiliar street, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to a very, very far place.
He could clearly remember Bai Zhenzhen kneeling in front of him, begging him to let her go. The gun in his hand had pulled the trigger, but it had not been able to ruthlessly wipe that familiar yet unfamiliar face from his memory.
Bai Zhenzhen swore many deadly oaths to the heavens and begged him bitterly, repeatedly a.s.suring him that she would not say a single word more to anyone else if she swallowed everything in her womb.
He softened his heart and put down the gun. The girl who looked like Bai Zhenzhen would never kneel down in front of him and beg him for mercy while crying. At that moment, he really hated Bai Zhenzhen and wanted to tear off her face so that she wouldn"t lower herself to him.
In the end, he let Bai Zhenzhen go. All this was because of her face, and the angel in his heart was already dead. He had actually thought about letting Bai Zhenzhen go, pretending that it was her who was replacing the angel in his heart.
Ji Lin"s eyebrows flashed with a dark ruthlessness. If he could find Bai Zhenzhen again, this time, he definitely wouldn"t let her go and give her a chance to escape. Because, he didn"t want to see the face of the person he loved grow old.
Mu Family!
Little Chengcheng was already two years old and three months old. She wore two little braids that reached the sky and blinked her large crystal-like eyes. She was extremely adorable, with her chubby little face, small hands, small legs, and white and tender eyes that could not be compared to a beauty.
Little Chengcheng got up secretly. Next to her, Mu s.h.i.+ye was sleeping soundly. The little guy got off the bed and saw there were a lot of interesting things in the cabinet beside him. It was a lipstick.
Little Chengcheng blinked blankly and climbed onto the bed with difficulty. She directly sat beside Mu s.h.i.+ye and was trying to force the lipstick on her little hands.
There was a "pa" sound and she opened it. She looked at the red color with excitement on her face.
As she could see Mommy dressing herself every day, Chengcheng was smart enough to know what to do next.
She took the lipstick and colored it on Mu s.h.i.+ye"s thin lips. It was done in a curvy way, as if she was painting. She was very unhappy.
After she finished smearing her father"s face, the little guy saw his hand that was placed to the side. She once again grabbed her father"s fingers and smeared them one by one.
After painting, she slipped off the bed and walked to the end of the bed. Her two small hands grabbed Mu s.h.i.+ye"s toes and started painting again.
Mu s.h.i.+ye felt that his foot was a bit itchy, so he couldn"t help but kick it.
"Wow!" The tiny thing instantly lost its balance and sat on the floor. It opened its mouth and started crying.
Mu s.h.i.+ye sat up abruptly and ran to the end of the bed to take a look. Was his daughter kicked off the bed by him?
"Daddy!" Little Chengcheng was still holding onto a lipstick. Seeing her father anxiously coming out of bed to hug her, Little Chengcheng immediately stopped crying. She reached out her hand, wanting to draw on his face.
Mu s.h.i.+ye was shocked to find that all ten of his fingers had already been painted red. Moreover, half of his toes had also been painted red. At this moment, the little guy was seriously drawing on his handsome face.
Hearing the sound of crying, Mu Lin also quickly pushed the door open and entered.
The moment she saw Mu s.h.i.+ye, she nearly burst into laughter.
"What the h.e.l.l is this?" Mu s.h.i.+ye couldn"t bear it any longer. He directly put his daughter on the bed, spread out his fingers and his handsome face distorted.
With one hand on her waist, Mu Lin was laughing so hard that she almost stopped breathing. Then she walked over and hugged the frightened Xiao Chengcheng. "Yeah, Xiao Chengcheng is putting on makeup for you. Her cooking skills are pretty good."
Mu s.h.i.+ye noticed that his sister was about to take a photo of him with her phone. He was so shocked that he immediately ran into the bathroom.
"What a pity!" Mu Lin was still laughing. She really wanted to take the photo and share it with Luo Hening.
Mu s.h.i.+ye ran into the bathroom. The reflection of his face in the mirror scared him so much that he was about to have nightmares at night.
