Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 98 If Her Mother is Lin Xu

That day.

Hot searches on Weibo exploded.

#Top Artist Ji Zeqiu's Love Affair Exposed#

#Shocking! Ji Zeqiu's Financial Backer Revealed#

#Financial Backer or Girlfriend?#

Looking at the hot searches, almost all of them were about Ji Zeqiu's gossip news, and even photos of the two together were released.

However, the woman's face in the photo was blocked, and nothing was visible, leading everyone to speculate about who this woman might be.

Even various marketing accounts concocted elaborate stories.

Some claimed she was a female university student, accompanied by a photo of Ji Zeqiu meeting a girl at a university entrance.

Others said she was a wealthy beauty, showing a woman taking Ji Zeqiu shopping for clothes and paying with her card.

Some even posted Ji Zeqiu accompanying a woman to the hospital, carefully supporting her throughout and released the photo.

“The woman is suspected to be pregnant; Ji Zeqiu was very careful, going with her to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up.”

Rumors of all sorts started circulating online.

Ji Yuqiao scrolled through the screen, and the more she read those ridiculous posts, the more sullen her expression became, her brow furrowing deeply.

Although she hated how Ji Zeqiu constantly pursued Wen Li, seeing those posts slandering him still made her feel uncomfortable.

Before they had reclaimed their parents' estate, all three siblings had been poor, but whenever her second brother had something tasty, he would always save it for her and never made her do any chores.

Apart from his liking of someone she despised, Ji Zeqiu was perfect in her eyes.

Just as Ji Yuqiao was about to explode with anger, Ji Zeqiu finally responded.

“The woman in the photo is my sister, meeting at the university entrance because she studies there, and the girl in the other photos is also her. She is not kept, nor is she pregnant…”

Ji Zeqiu posted a long explanation online, and together with his manager handling PR, they hired some online commentators and sent out legal warning letters to the marketing accounts demanding they delete their posts, which greatly decreased the rumors.

“Can these unscrupulous marketing accounts just disappear? Any fan knows about Ji Zeqiu's difficult early days in his career when he was being suppressed by capital and couldn't get a script for months. If he had a financial backer, he would've been successful long ago and wouldn't have needed to suffer like this!”

“Exactly! Just because someone goes to the hospital, does it mean they are pregnant? Can't they just have a cold or fever?”

The fans knew Ji Zeqiu had a sister who was well protected, and they came out to condemn the marketing accounts, finally suppressing the negative news.

This incident was somewhat resolved.

Ji Yuqiao breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing herself used as a shield in the announcement, she couldn't help but pout in dissatisfaction.

She then made a call to Ji Zeqiu.

“Ji Zeqiu! You got caught being careless, and now you want to use me as a shield for Wen Li? Transfer me one hundred thousand, no, two hundred thousand as hush money right now, or I'll tell the media!” As soon as the call connected, Ji Yuqiao began complaining, “After all these years, why do you still like that Wen Li? I just don't get what you and big brother like about her.”

Her complaints were full of resentment.

“And why have you liked Xiao Yu for all these years? I don't understand what you see in him either,” Ji Zeqiu said.

“That's different, he's actually a good person! If you let go of your prejudices and observe him carefully, you'd see that he has many good qualities, like…”

Just as Ji Yuqiao was about to launch into a lengthy speech, Ji Zeqiu interrupted her.

Just as Ji Yuqiao hated Wen Li, Ji Zeqiu despised Xiao Yu.

He had no interest in listening to her recommend another man.

“That woman wasn't Wen Li.”

Upon hearing his words, Ji Yuqiao froze for a moment before realizing he was referring to the woman in the news, not Wen Li.

“You've finally seen the light!” she exclaimed excitedly, her eyes twinkling with incredulous joy, “So who is that woman in the news?”

“Who really has such charm to make you give up on Wen Li?!”

She even wanted to present a banner to that woman, thanking her for saving her stubborn second brother.

Upon hearing her question, Ji Zeqiu tapped his fingertips back and forth on the tabletop. His thin lips parted slightly, quickly closed again, and his furrowed brow appeared very conflicted.

“Brother?” After a long silence without hearing his voice, Ji Yuqiao was somewhat puzzled.

“It's nothing.” Ji Zeqiu hesitated for a moment but still asked, “Over the years, have you ever thought about mother?”

“Huh?” Ji Yuqiao did not understand how the topic had suddenly shifted.

“If mother were to return, would you be happy? Or say… if you had mother's company now, would you be happier?”

“Not really, I have you and elder brother, and that's enough,” Ji Yuqiao said.

To her, the mother was a dispensable role.

She was not like Ting Yang and Ji Zeqiu who had never even seen their mother, thus she lacked any fixation on her.

As a child, she had indeed been curious about her parents and had asked them about their parents, but children are forgetful, and she would forget everything by the next day.

Ji Zeqiu fell silent.

“You're not trying to find me a mother, are you?” Ji Yuqiao became wary and quickly rejected the idea firmly, “I don't want one!”

She had indeed wanted a mother as a child.

Because in kindergarten, her classmates were always picked up by their parents, while she was picked up by her two brothers.

For a while, she envied others and tearfully told them she also wanted her mother to take her to school.

They wore bitter expressions but had no choice but to soothe her patiently.

Looking back now, they must have been hurt inside as well.

Later, as she grew older and understood some things, she never mentioned wanting parents in front of them again.

Now she was twenty-two, long past the age of wanting a mother.

In Ji Yuqiao's current perception, parents liked to control their children.

Not only did they control their friendships, studies, and love lives, but there was also a deep generational gap.

Every day, she could hear her dorm mates complain about their parents interfering in their lives under the guise of “it's for your own good.”

Getting a mother to control her?

Ji Yuqiao only felt terrified and firmly shook her head, “I don't want, I don't want, I don't want! Not to mention, she had already passed away, even if she could really come back, I still wouldn't want her!”

She felt that having the mother exist in her beautiful fantasies was enough.

“…Alright,” Ji Zeqiu gave up.

Upon hearing Ji Yuqiao's frantic refusal, he decided not to bring up the matter again.

They hung up the phone.

Ji Yuqiao patted her chest as if she had survived a disaster.

In Weibo messages, it was Lin Xu who sent the messages.

[Not only in universities, but even kindergarten teachers can talk for hours in meetings!]

[Frustrated.jpg]

[That's why when I used to attend my son's parent-teacher meetings, I liked to pretend to be sick and take a leave.]

[If you also dislike it, next time I can help you pretend to be a parent taking leave.]

Ji Yuqiao chuckled softly.

If her mother were Lin Xu, she might not be so opposed to it after all.
