CH 8

Ji Zhile ran back to his room with tears in his eyes all the way. He clenched his fists tightly and kept telling himself not to cry. He is three and a half years old and has already gone to kindergarten, so he can not cry like a two-year-old child.

He’s strong and manly.

Relying on this belief, Ji Zhile ran to her room, but as soon as he closed the door, he could not hold back his tears.

He stretched out a somewhat fleshy hand and wiped away the tears fiercely.

He knew that his mother did not like him at all. He had done everything to keep his arm injury a secret, but his mother still looked at him with disgusting eyes.

Now she still asks him what’s going on and criticizes him.

Ji Zhile felt a little hungry and looked around the room. The potato chips were also taken away by that woman and now he refuses to call her mother.

Thinking of the potato chips that were taken away, Ji Zhile thought of Grandma Fang. If Grandma Fang also left, there would be no one in the family who liked him.

The elder brother is always on the side of that bad woman and will not help him.

Ji Zhile took out his phone watch and dialed his father’s number.

After the bell rang a few times, Dad’s voice appeared: “Zhile.”

Ji Zhile could not hold back and sobbed twice: “Dad, Dad.”

“What’s wrong?”

Dad also likes him, but Dad is too busy and is often not at home. The moment Ji Zhile heard Dad’s voice, Ji Zhile felt the ugly caterpillar scar on his arm hurt again.

“My arm hurts.”

“I asked Dr. Lin to take a look, Zhile, are you at home now? Is there anyone else around?”

Ji Zhile replied obediently: “I’m at home, I’m the only one in the room.”

“Is it just an arm pain? Is there anything else?”

Ji Zhile subconsciously said: “Today, I will make lanterns with Mom, Mom… woo… woo…”

He suddenly realized that if he told his father about the following things, then the secret he had kept would be exposed. Ji Zhile immediately covered his lips. He wanted to be a person who kept his word.

Ji Jiangzhou realized something: “What’s wrong with Mom?”

Ji Zhile curled her lips: “The lanterns she made are ugly.”

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, Ji Jiangzhou put down the subordinate shareholders in the conference room, softened his voice slightly, and comforted Ji Zhile: “Then what Zhile does will look better.”

Ji Zhile was a little embarrassed, gave a vague “hmm”, and grabbed the hem of the clothes with the other hand, making the fabric into a wrinkle.

“Dad, Mom is going to fire Grandma Fang, can you let Grandma Fang stay?” Ji Zhile asked a little nervously.

Ji Jiangzhou said directly: “Yes.”

Ji Zhile laughed immediately and cheered softly: “Dad is the best.”

Ji Jiangzhou also showed a faint smile: “This time Dad has been away for too long this time. Dad will be back next Tuesday. Do you want any presents, Zhile?”

Ji Zhile thought for a while and said, “I want Coke and flavored potato chips.”

Ji Jiangzhou: “Except for snacks.”

Ji Zhile curled her lips: “Then I want Ultraman’s clothes, I want Ultraman Tiga!”

“It is good.”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Zhile was overjoyed. My brother had Ultraman clothes, so he had them too.

Even if his mother doesn’t like him, he won’t like her either!

Ji Zhile stayed in the room, took out his doll, and was about to play when there was a knock on the door of the room.

He got up from the bed, ran to the door, opened the door, and found that it was his mother. Ji Zhile’s little face immediately wrinkled and was about to close the door.

Si Tian could not make him close it, so she pressed her foot against it. Seeing Ji Zhile still angry, she quickly cut through the mess and quickly apologized: “Ji Zhile, Mom is sorry. I should not push you down on your birthday and hurt you. It makes you sad to ask you about this matter again today.”

It took less than two seconds for Si Tian to finish speaking in one breath.

The expression on Ji Zhile’s face froze immediately and the movements of his hands could not be maintained, so Si Tian entered smoothly.

It was the first time she apologized to a child and Si Tian was a little embarrassed, but it seemed like that was the case after she said it.

Ji Zhile still kept his head up, looking at her a little blankly, his lips parted slightly, and his eyes were still a little red.

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Si Tian chuckled, and could not help rubbing his little curly hair.

Ji Zhile immediately escaped from her palm: “Don’t touch me!”

Si Tian smiled: “I am your mother, I can touch you.”

Ji Zhile pursed his mouth, silently went back to his bed, hugged his doll, bit her cheek, and thought silently, Mom apologized to him.

Ji Zhile never thought that an adult would apologize, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. When Mom pushed him down and injured his arm, she also said sorry. But Ji Zhile felt that today’s mother is different from that time’s mother. As for why it’s not the same, Ji Zhile hasn’t figured it out yet.

But the teacher taught them to be polite as a child and it doesn’t matter if others say sorry.

Ji Zhile hesitated a few times, opened his mouth, and said in a small voice, “It’s okay.”

Si Tian was stunned.

Although Ji Zhile’s voice was very low, there were only the two of them in the room, she heard it too.

All of a sudden, Si Tian had complicated feelings in her heart. She had never had a child in her previous life and her contact with children was limited to the children of her colleagues. Her impression of a big child-like Ji Zhile was a bear, of course. Seeing Ji Zhile’s first side, Si Tian also felt that he was a bear, and now she felt that her original evaluation of Ji Zhile seemed too one-sided.

Ji Zhile glanced at her, then lowered his head and plucked the doll’s fur, refusing to communicate with her.

“Zhile, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that to you in the children’s room just now.”

Ji Zhile looked up at her again, lowered his eyelashes hastily, and looked a little flustered. After a while, he said in an awkward voice: “It’s okay.”

The corners of Si Tian’s lips curved slightly, she looked at the scar on Ji Zhile’s arm and touched it lightly with her hand after a while.

Ji Zhile retracted his arms and said nothing.

“Does it still hurt now?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Ji Zhile said bravely, “It didn’t hurt at the time.”

He thought for a while: “I said it’s okay.”

Si Tian frowned. At that time, Ji Zhile was hurt so badly and bled a lot. How could he forgive her so magnanimously after she apologized? Not to mention that he would be coaxed to take all the responsibility on himself.

No wonder it’s an outright vicious male supporting role, which is too silly.

“You don’t have to forgive me if you don’t want to forgive me.” Si Tian said, “It’s not that others apologize, you have to forgive me.”

But Ji Zhile frowned: “I said it’s okay.”

He whispered: “Anyway, you also broke your bone the next day, so it’s even.”

Si Tian:?

Ji Zhile observed her expression and immediately yelled: “You fell by yourself, not by me!”

Si Tian said, “I know, it has nothing to do with you.”

Ji Zhile sneered: “You’re stupid, you could fall in the shower.”

Si Tian almost could not hold back. She clenched her fists to barely maintain this seemingly filial mother-in-law scene. This stinking child actually called her stupid!

But she also knew what happened to the two crutches in the room, and Ji Zhile was injured one after the other, one was an arm and the other was a leg, it really sounded like repayment.

“It’s time for lunch, go wash your face, and eat.” Si Tian said.

Ji Zhile lowered his head and turned on his phone watch, glanced at the time, and said seriously: “Ten fifty, it’s not time to eat yet.”

Si Tian said, “I’m hungry, I want to eat early today.”

Ji Zhile pouted his lips, thinking it was unfair, he could not eat potato chips when he was hungry, but his mother could eat earlier if she was hungry.

At eleven o’clock, the meal is ready on time. The two children and Si Tian are sitting at the dining table. The food is rich and the taste is light, but Si Tian is a person who likes spicy food. She suddenly feels that she has no appetite. She is quite full in the morning. Not hungry now.

Si Tian decided to tell the cooking aunt later that she would add some chili to distinguish her food from that of the two children.

As soon as Ji Ningyi sat next to Si Tian, ​​he also ate very politely, showing a good upbringing, so she did not need to worry about it at all.

But Ji Zhile did not move, Si Tian looked over and saw Grandma Fang picking up the bowl, ready to feed Ji Zhile.

Si Tian frowned: “Grandma Fang, Zhile can eat by himself.”

She was so busy that she hadn’t had time to tell the housekeeper to dismiss Grandma Fang and she would do it in the afternoon.

But Grandma Fang said, “Madam, Zhile is still so young, he can’t even hold the chopsticks steadily, how can he eat alone?”

Si Tian looked at Ji Zhile, with a deliberately mocking tone: “You are three and a half years old and still can’t hold your chopsticks?”

Ji Zhile’s ears turned red immediately: “I can!”

He ate by himself in kindergarten. He has a beautiful spoon, but he doesn’t use chopsticks very much.

Grandma Fang was reluctant to let go: “Madam, Zhile is just a child.”

“Grandma Fang, I’ll do it myself.” Ji Zhile took a pair of chopsticks and tried his best to pick up the vegetables. But after all, he seldom used the chopsticks, so he picked them up several times and put them tremblingly in his bowl, a hint of surprise immediately bloomed on his little face.

Seeing this, Grandma Fang immediately picked up the bowl and prepared to feed again: “My little master, how can you eat by yourself at such a young age? Let your Grandma help you.”

Si Tian could not stand it anymore, she was so angry that she yelled, “Uncle Lu!”

Uncle Lu is the housekeeper of Ji’s family. Hearing this, he came over. Si Tian said, “Give me Grandma Fang’s contract.”

Uncle Lu’s expression remained unchanged, he just said, “Madam, please come with me.”

Si Tian did not doubt him and followed Uncle Lu to another room.

In the living room, Grandma Fang’s complexion changed drastically and the food was crooked. Ji Zhile shook her head: “Grandma Fang, I will eat by myself.”

He is three and a half years old, a big kid.

Grandma Fang panicked. What Si Tian did just now was obviously to fire her, but Grandma Fang put all her bets on Ji Zhile. Although she had only worked in Ji’s family for three years, she had almost figured out the situation here.

Although Si Tian is the mistress of Ji’s family, she is the one who has the least say, not even the two children.

So Grandma Fang has always aimed at Ji Zhile. As long as Ji Zhile relies on her, she can work for Ji’s family. Logically speaking, she should not panic. It’s just that Si Tian’s performance just now was too amazing. The previous cowardice is different no matter what.

Grandma Fang can only ask Ji Zhile: “Zhile, have you told your father?”

With rice stuffed in Ji Zhile’s mouth, his voice was vague: “What are you talking about?”

Ji Ningyi was still here, Grandma Fang knew that the child was a ghost, so she did not dare to make it too obvious. She just said, “Does Zhile still want to eat potato chips?”

Ji Zhile understood in seconds: “I said it, Dad promised me.”

Grandma Fang felt relieved: “Zhile is really a good boy, what do you want to eat, Grandma will help you.”

Ji Ningyi frowned slightly: “Grandma Fang, you don’t need to help Zhile, he will do it himself.”

Grandma Fang sneered and put down her chopsticks. In fact, her first target to please was Ji Ningyi. After all, Ji Ningyi was older and more obedient, but Grandma Fang gave up after only two contacts.

Ji Ningyi is hard to please, those eyes seem to be able to see through something. He usually only loves to follow Si Tian, ​​even if Si Tian ignores him and speaks ill of him.

***

Si Tian followed Uncle Lu to the other side, she felt a little strange as to why she had to go by herself to get a servant’s contract. But after all, she was not familiar with the surrounding environment, so Si Tian could only follow.

Until Uncle Lu asked her: “Madam, what do you want Grandma Fang’s contract for?”

Si Tian said: “Her educational philosophy conflicts with mine, so I want to fire her.”

Uncle Lu still said in that gentle voice: “Madam, today Master informed me that Zhile is more dependent on Grandma Fang and he doesn’t want Grandma Fang to leave.”

Si Tian:?

“The Master you are talking about is Ji Jiangzhou?”

Uncle Lu said, “Yes.”

Immediately, Si Tian felt a little smoke in her head and a strong embarrassment came over her.

Uncle Lu’s attitude made it clear that he only listened to Ji Jiangzhou and asking her to come to get the contract was not a contract at all, but just talking about her expenses alone.

Si Tian was slightly calm: “I see.”

Uncle Lu smiled apologetically.

Si Tian stayed in the room alone, and after the embarrassment, anger welled up in her heart.

What happened to Ji Jiangzhou? Judging from the content of the book, he is a domineering president who has no IQ and spoils his son, and directly bankrupts him for his son’s sake.

This has nothing to do with Si Tian. She might still be able to eat melons by knocking on the seeds.

But now she is wearing a book! Still shouldering important tasks, Ji Jiangzhou is a drag.

Si Tian was furious, took out her mobile phone, opened the address book, successfully found Ji Jiangzhou’s name, and pressed the dial button hard.

She must tell Ji Jiangzhou that if he doesn’t want to control it, don’t control it, don’t point fingers there!

The phone connects—

“Si Tian, ​​what’s the matter?” It was exactly the same as the male voice in the flashback scene, low and sweet, but at that time Si Tian was like an outsider. But this time she heard it for real, which felt different.

She generally has little resistance to men with nice voices, but Ji Jiangzhou went too far, and Si Tian asked back in a fierce voice, “You don’t know what’s going on?”

The other end was silent for a few seconds, then suppressed his emotions and said, “Say it.”

“Why did you keep Grandma Fang? Do you know what she did to Ji Zhile?” Si Tian vomited it all out in a crackling voice, including but not limited to Grandma Fang saying bad things about her today and alienating her relationship with Ji Zhile, fed Ji Zhile during meals, and finally concluded, “You haven’t come back for so long if you don’t want to take care of the children, don’t point fingers there.”

After a moment of silence, Si Tian heard Ji Jiangzhou’s apology: “Sorry, I didn’t understand clearly.”

Si Tian snorted softly but did not speak.

Just apologize? She is the mistress of Ji’s family, but she has no right to speak.

“I’ll be back next Tuesday.”

Si Tian sneered: “You are so busy, what are you doing when you come back?”

Ji Jiangzhou ignored her cynicism and just said, “I heard that you took Ningyi to buy clothes.”

Si Tian: “Yes.”

“Is the money enough? I’ll ask my assistant to give you another million.”

Si Tian:?

“The gemstone you said you wanted, I saw it at the auction in Country S. I will give it to you when I come back.”

Si Tian:? ? ?

“You worked hard at home, I will ask my assistant to transfer another two million from my account to you.”

Si Tian:! !

She softened her voice: “Are you coming back next Tuesday? Are you busy? If you are busy, you don’t need to come back. I am fine at home and my two children are also very good. It’s just that it costs money to take care of the children now. If you don’t come back, it’s okay to pay some money, I’ll take them to buy clothes.”
