Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Mother is Always More Important Than Face

Ji Zeqiu, unconcerned, glared at him angrily, “If you come to my house again, the next thing I'll pour on you will be boiling water.”

Xie Changyan shook his head with a suppressed chuckle.

Seeing that he didn't take his words seriously at all, Ji Zeqiu's anger intensified, “Lin Xu will never like you, get out of our house.”

“Oh? How do you know she doesn't like me?” Xie Changyan propped his chin with one hand, his tone dragging out long, “She said the deceased is gone, she has moved on from that person, and she wants to be with me forever.”

“That's impossible! She would never say that!” Ji Zeqiu lost his temper.

Even if his mother had said that, it was Xie Changyan, that bastard, deceiving her.

He clenched the hand beside him, saw Lin Xu about to come downstairs, and, biting his teeth, grabbed the water cup from the table and splashed it on himself.

Ji Zeqiu's hair and face were drenched, water streaming down his cheeks, staining his clothes with a wet mark.

When Lin Xu came downstairs and saw Ji Zeqiu in such a sorry state, her mouth fell open in surprise, and she quickly ran over to him.

“What happened?” She pulled out some tissues and hurriedly wiped the water off Ji Zeqiu's face.

Ji Zeqiu bit his lip and cautiously glanced at Xie Changyan, his eyes and eyebrows revealing a trace of grievance.

“Maybe President Xie is angry at me, that's why he… he…” he trailed off.

Lin Xu paused while wiping his cheek, and gave him a strange look, “Are you saying Xie Changyan splashed you?”

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips, “Maybe I was clumsy just now, got President Xie's clothes wet, and he got angry…”

Lin Xu's expression was doubtful.

“Don't be mad, I keep stopping you and President Xie, he gets angry, and it's normal not to like me. Please don't argue with him over this.” Ji Zeqiu pleaded pitifully.

Lin Xu's expression darkened, her clear eyes turning cold. She just stared silently at Ji Zeqiu, not saying a word.

Ji Zeqiu felt uneasy under her gaze, “What… What's wrong?”

“Ji Zeqiu, who taught you to lie and frame others?” Lin Xu's tone suddenly became serious and stern.

Xie Changyan, although strict with children, she had never seen him physically strike a child.

Moreover, Ji Zeqiu was their child, so how could he possibly not like him, much less splash water on him.

Ji Zeqiu's heart skipped a beat, his voice stuttering, “I… I didn't lie…”

“If you don't tell the truth, I won't leave the house today and won't ask you to go out to watch movies in the future either,” Lin Xu said coldly, turning around to leave.

She sat down on the nearby sofa, turning her head away from Ji Zeqiu.

Xie Changyan's lips curled up slightly, as if enjoying the misfortune, “I advise you to confess sooner, or else if she gets angry, the consequences are severe. She might ignore you for at least half a month.”

Lin Xu usually tolerated the children, but she was stricter than him, the father, when it came to certain bottom-line issues.

Ji Zeqiu hesitantly glanced at Lin Xu, and the thought of being ignored by Lin Xu for half a month suddenly made him very anxious.

He followed and sat down next to Lin Xu.

Before he could even speak, Lin Xu shifted her body, distancing herself from him by another inch or so.

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips, cautiously tugged at the hem of her clothing, his voice pressed very low, “I'm sorry… I won't lie again…”

Lin Xu turned her back on him, “What did you say, I didn't hear it.”

Ji Zeqiu bit his lip and glanced at Xie Changyan, who was still watching the drama beside them, as if afraid that he would overhear.

But seeing Lin Xu's gloomy face and the struggle in her eyes, he still spoke.

“I'm sorry, I poured the water myself. I shouldn't have lied and slandered Xie Changyan.” Ji Zeqiu raised his voice a bit this time, and Xie Changyan must have heard it, probably even laughing at him in his mind.

Let him laugh.

A mother is always more important than face.

Thinking this, Ji Zeqiu tugged at the hem of her clothing again. “I'm sorry, can you please not be angry with me?”

“I was afraid you were being deceived by Xie Changyan.” He was also afraid she would be taken away by Xie Changyan.

“And you used to clearly like me the most.” It was bad enough with Ji Tingyang, but now there was also Xie Changyan.

“After he appeared, he's all you had in your heart, even insisting on bringing him along whenever we went out.”

“In anger, I lied, I'm sorry…” Ji Zeqiu's voice grew more grievous as he spoke.

He clenched his lower lip tightly, trying hard to suppress the sourness in his heart.

Lin Xu, hearing her son's lament, found her raging anger extinguishing instantly.

She turned around and saw Ji Zeqiu's slightly red eyes, and her heart softened.

She rubbed Ji Zeqiu's head and sighed. “Mom is also sorry; I might have neglected you recently. How about I spend more time with you at home during your holidays?”

“But no matter what, lying is not acceptable, and framing others is wrong too. If I find out you've done it again, I'll stop talking to you forever.”

Hearing her say this, Ji Zeqiu hastily raised his hand to promise, “I will never lie again.”

Seeing the serious expression on Lin Xu's face soften, Ji Zeqiu knew she had forgiven him, and he felt a relief in his heart.

He bent down and gently hugged Lin Xu. “Mother, are you not angry with me anymore?”

“Mm, I'm not angry anymore.”

“So, can we not bring Xie Changyan with us when we go out today?” He took the opportunity to ask.

“I already told you this morning, it's really just the two of us,” Lin Xu patted his back lightly.

Then she looked up and glared at Xie Changyan.

Knowing how sensitive and insecure her son was, this man still always liked to tease him.

Hearing Lin Xu's words, any grievances in Ji Zeqiu's heart suddenly dissolved, and his eyes sparkled slightly with triumph.

He knew his mother cared about him the most.

With a helpless smile, Xie Changyan stepped forward and rubbed Ji Zeqiu's head.

Ji Zeqiu looked displeased, but since he had just made a mistake and Lin Xu was still there, it wouldn't be good to shake his hand off, so he just had to grimace and let him touch.

It didn't take long before Ji Zeqiu's hairstyle, set just that morning, was all messed up.

Ji Zeqiu stealthily glared at Xie Changyan, anger unspoken.

Xie Changyan withdrew his hand and stood up, saying, “Alright, let him go up and change his clothes, I also need to get back to work.”

“Mm, be careful on the road,” Lin Xu said.

It was only after Xie Changyan had left that Ji Zeqiu's sulky face instantly brightened, happy that the light bulb had finally left.

He hung a smile high on his lips, “Mother, I'll go up and change my clothes, then we can head out. Just wait for me.”
