Chapter 432: Threat To Shao Qihai
Jiang Feng was stunned when he saw Shao Dong. “Shao Dong, your father has gastrointestinal bleeding.”
“I understand. I’ll go visit him.” Shao Dong nodded. “If you’re here to inform us, thank you. But if you’re here to scold my mother, then I’m sorry, Uncle Jiang. Our family won’t welcome you here anymore.”
Jiang Feng’s expression changed. “Shao Dong, you… I’m defending your father.”
“This is a family matter. You don’t have to help my father fight for justice.” Shao Dong held Mu Jingzhe’s hand. “One shouldn’t do the same thing more than three times. If you do this again, Mommy will hit you directly.”
The door was closed with a bang, almost hitting his nose. Jiang Feng stood at the door, his face livid. A hint of confusion flashed across his eyes. Had he really done something wrong?
However, he was really only doing this because he felt indignant on Brother Hai’s behalf. Brother Hai was such a wonderful man, so why did Mu Jingzhe have to divorce him and choose Ji Buw.a.n.g? Wasn’t it because Ji Buw.a.n.g was rich?
Besides, from the looks of it, the five kids had also been completely brainwashed by Mu Jingzhe. Even at a time like this, they were still standing by her side. Brother Hai was really pitiful.
Jiang Feng stood outside the door for a moment. In the end, because he was worried about Shao Qihai, he returned to the hospital.
Not long after he went back, Shao Qihai happened to wake up. “Where have you been?” His memories after getting drunk were intermittent. At the thought of how badly he had cried, Shao Qihai felt too ashamed to face Jiang Feng.
“I went to look for Mu Jingzhe,” Jiang Feng answered after some hesitation.
“Mu Jingzhe? Why did you go looking for her?” Shao Qihai was shocked. “Don’t tell me you went to spout nonsense again?”
Jiang Feng pursed his lips. “Brother Hai, I just felt bad seeing you so devastated. When did you ever cry like that? I couldn’t bear to see you like that. My heart aches for you, Brother Hai. That’s why I went…”
Shao Qihai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He was no stranger to crying, and there had been countless occasions when he had cried so hard that he’d had difficulty breathing. Wasn’t it insignificant?
“Jiang Feng, although I feel terrible, relations.h.i.+ps aren’t like anything else. Don’t be like this in the future. I know you’re doing this for my own good, but there’s really no need. If you do this, how will I face Mu Jingzhe in the future?”
Jiang Feng hadn’t expected Shao Qihai to not support him either. For a moment, he felt terrible. Had he really done something wrong?
As Jiang Feng was struggling, Shao Dong’s voice was heard. “Daddy.”
While it was still early, Mu Jingzhe had brought the children to visit Shao Qihai. After all, he had gastrointestinal bleeding.
When Shao Qihai saw Mu Jingzhe and Shao Dong come in, he almost burrowed into the ground. Seeing that the five kids were looking at his eyes, he reacted by quickly covering them.
Ahhh, this was so embarra.s.sing. His eyes were definitely swollen.
The kids’ expressions were subtle. Little Bei blinked. “Daddy, were you crying?”
“No, why would I cry? I’m a man. I just felt unwell after drinking.” Shao Qihai denied it without hesitation.
Despite feeling that he must have been crying, Little Bei gave Shao Qihai some face.
The children asked Shao Qihai how he was feeling because Shao Qihai kept covering his eyes, feeling too embarra.s.sed to look at them. Because they had to go to school, they didn’t talk much to him before bidding him farewell. On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe stayed behind.
“If you are having gastric issues, don’t drink anymore.”
“I understand.” Shao Qihai looked at Jiang Feng. “Jiang Feng told you some nonsense earlier. Don’t get mad or mind him.”
“It’s fine. If he says it again, though, I’ll hit him directly. I only came to advise you not to drink anymore. Otherwise, the kids will be worried again.”
Mu Jingzhe really didn’t have any ill feelings for Shao Qihai. When she’d heard that he had gotten drunk, she had felt strange. However, she really didn’t want Jiang Feng to nag her anymore, so she thought for a moment and said, “Actually, I know your secret, so if you continue drinking or Jiang Feng comes to find me again, I’ll come and cry in front of you. Then, you’ll…”
Cry like a dog. Mu Jingzhe chuckled.
Shao Qihai: “…”
He had never expected to be threatened like this.
Mu Jingzhe didn’t stay for long. She quickly left, leaving Shao Qihai with a smile that was even uglier than crying.
Jiang Feng frowned and watched from the side. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Shao Qihai glanced at him. “Don’t think that she’s really threatening me. She’s just concerned about me. She hopes I won’t ruin my health.”
He could understand Mu Jingzhe’s intentions. Shao Qihai took a deep breath. “Jiang Feng, I know that you did all of this because you care about me. I know that. But Jingzhe didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t look for her again in the future. We’re raising the children together and we still have many opportunities to interact. I don’t want to lose this opportunity.”
He wasn’t convinced, and he was sad because his love for her wasn’t inferior to Ji Buw.a.n.g’s. However, since Mu Jingzhe had chosen Ji Buw.a.n.g, he should acknowledge it. He didn’t want to get to a point when he couldn’t even be friends with Mu Jingzhe.
Jiang Feng looked at Shao Qihai and finally regretted it. “I’m sorry, Brother Hai. You clearly told me so last time, but I still…”
He felt indignant on Brother Hai’s behalf, but after calming down and thinking about it, he realized that his so-called feeling of injustice only pushed Mu Jingzhe further away. The person who bore all the consequences was Shao Qihai.
“I can apologize to her. I don’t know what got over me. I was clearly taught a lesson last time, but I can’t control myself at all.”
“No need. Don’t blame yourself. It’s fine as long as you don’t do this again in the future. The heavens have actually treated me well by once granting someone like me such a marriage.” Shao Qihai smiled sadly. “Because of her, the kids will grow up well. This is the greatest kindness to me.”
Jiang Feng’s lips curled into a smile. This was probably the greatest blessing in all this misfortune.
“Treat this as my last indulgence. I won’t do it again. I’ll be the best role model for the children. Like they said, I should cherish my health. At least, I won’t drag them down. I’ve survived all the difficult days of the past. I’ll get through this as well.”
Shao Qihai believed that he could make it through. This was the way of the world. There wasn’t a single person one couldn’t live without. No matter how difficult it was, he would eventually get over this.
After Shao Qihai was discharged from the hospital, he really returned to normal. The five kids took turns to keep him company, and they only heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that he was fine.
When Mu Jingzhe found out, she heaved a sigh of relief too. She hadn’t expected a novel or a television drama to happen in real life. It was actually a little awkward, which was why she had tried to persuade him by using a threat. Now that she knew that there was no problem, she heaved a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, Mu Jingzhe found herself in a pa.s.sionate relations.h.i.+p. Whenever she had nothing to do, she would be with Ji Buw.a.n.g. And whenever they were apart, she would miss him.
They were already familiar with each other, so they didn’t really have to adjust to each other’s presence. The only problem she had to take note of was that she had to control her emotions and strength to prevent herself from accidentally hurting Ji Buw.a.n.g.
Ji Buw.a.n.g suggested that they practice more. Once she got used to it, there wouldn’t be any accidents.
Therefore, they had to find an opportunity to kiss and hug whenever possible. After a while, although she would occasionally lose control, it was finally much better.
