"Nannan, don't you miss your dad? Dad came to see you as soon as he knew you were sick. Look how much he loves you." Wei Jing said calmly. She was addicted to the feeling of playing a family of three with Shen Zhiye and Nannan, as if Xie Manman didn't exist.
But Shi Chu had no intention of playing the role of a loving mother or a loving father. She was just a child now and directly expressed her feelings: "I'm hungry."
"I'm sorry, Nannan, it's Mom who forgot. You have been sick since the afternoon and haven't eaten anything yet. No wonder you are hungry. Mom is a little hungry too. Aye, are you hungry? Why don't we go out to eat something together, and then buy some easily digestible food for Nannan?" Wei Jing really did not miss any opportunity to be alone with Shen Zhiye.
But Shen Zhiye did not accept her soft heart, but disapproved and said: "How can we leave Nannan alone in the hospital and go out to eat by ourselves? How about this, you go out and pack some food and come back quickly, I will stay here with Nannan."
The smile on Wei Jing's face froze, but Shen Zhiye had said so. If she didn't agree, wouldn't it mean she didn't care about her daughter? So she had to hold her breath and go out to buy food.
After Wei Jing left, Shen Zhiye touched Shi Chu's head and said, "Nannan, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling bad?"
Shi Chu shook his head and looked at the young and handsome man in front of him. It was undeniable that he was indeed very charming, able to make Wei Jing and Xie Manman willing to have children before marriage. However, his character was not firm and decisive enough, and he was indecisive as he wandered between the two women. He didn't want to disappoint one, but couldn't let the other down, which ultimately caused the two women to suffer for him for most of their lives.
Of course, there is also the original owner's daughter. He was cruel enough to his daughter. He would rather let her suffer beside Wei Jing than interfere. Shi Chu didn't have a good impression of him when he thought of this.
"Why are you so sick today? Did you catch a cold because you didn't wear enough clothes?" Shen Zhiye looked at his silent daughter and tried to find a topic awkwardly.
Shi Chu looked at him steadily and said, "No, I got sick because my mother made me stand barefoot on the balcony to get some fresh air and poured cold water on me. I was very cold and wanted to go inside to put on some clothes, but my mother locked me outside and refused to let me in until I got sick."
When Shen Zhiye heard her words, his eyes widened in shock and he said in disbelief: “What?! You said it was your mother who deliberately made you sick from the cold?”
Shi Chu nodded slowly and said expressionlessly: "She wants to see you. If I were sick, you would come."
Shen Zhiye cursed, he never expected Wei Jing to do such a thing. Looking at his daughter's pale face and cold expression, he felt guilty and angry. He felt guilty that he was the indirect cause of his daughter's illness; he was angry that Wei Jing actually used his daughter's body as a way to get close to him.
"Nannan, I'm sorry. Dad didn't know your mother did this to you. It won't happen again. Dad won't let her do this again." Shen Zhiye hugged his daughter and promised guiltily.
Shi Chu felt nothing in her heart. She didn't think Shen Zhiye could stop Wei Jing unless he could take away her custody, which he couldn't do because he loved Yuan Yuan, the son born to him by Xie Manman, the most. He wouldn't let Shi Chu, his daughter, appear in front of the mother and son and make them feel uncomfortable.
So just listen to Shen Zhiye's words and don't take them to heart.
Wei Jing quickly bought food and came back, and said to Shen Zhiye happily: "Aye, I bought your favorite seafood porridge, you try it, I heard that the porridge made by that porridge shop tastes very good..."
Shen Zhiye ignored her words, but frowned and said to her with an extremely ugly look: "Wei Jing! Don't you have anything else to tell me?"
When Wei Jing saw his bad expression, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling, but she still looked confused, shook her head, and asked in confusion: "Aye, what are you talking about?"
"Wei Jing! That's enough, stop pretending. Let me ask you, did you lock Nannan on the balcony to let the cold wind blow on her, and even poured cold water on her, deliberately making her sick?" Shen Zhiye clenched his fists and asked her while suppressing his anger.
Wei Jing suddenly turned her head to look at Shi Chu lying on the hospital bed, looking at her with cold eyes, her vicious nature revealed. Obviously, she knew that Shen Zhiye could ask these questions, and he must have heard them from Shi Chu, so her first reaction was that her daughter "betrayed" her, and she was angry.
"Wei Jing! What's with that look in your eyes? Nannan just told me the truth. What do you want to do by looking at her like that?" Shen Zhiye did not miss the look in Wei Jing's eyes when she looked at Shi Chu. He was shocked when he saw her ferocious look. He couldn't believe that Wei Jing, who was always gentle and considerate in front of him, actually had such a side to her when treating her daughter.
After being scolded by him, Wei Jing realized that she was exposed. Her face changed from fierce to sad and unbelievable: "Aye! I didn't let Nannan suffer from the cold on purpose. I am her mother. How could I bear to let my own daughter get sick on purpose? Believe me, I am the one who loves Nannan the most..."
Shen Zhiye refused to believe her: "You mean Nannan lied? But why would she lie like that when she is so young? If you didn't treat her like that, how could she say that?"
Wei Jing choked, her eyes moving around flexibly, and she soon thought of a reason: "Aye, Nannan just missed you too much, and wanted you as a father to care about her and spend more time with her, so she said that I hurt her... She didn't know how serious the lie she told was, she just wanted to spend more time with her father... Nowadays, some children are very smart and can tell lies that benefit themselves when they are very young. Nannan is like this. The more serious the situation she makes, the more you will care about her. She does this to win your care and attention! Yes, that's it..."
Wei Jing was almost convinced, but Shen Zhiye thought her reason was ridiculous: "Wei Jing, you even slandered your own daughter? She is such a young child. If you hadn't driven her to the balcony to get cold, she would never have thought of such a way to make her sick! Wei Jing, I am so disappointed in you. You can even hurt your own daughter. You are so vicious. I even doubt whether the way you showed me before is real..."
"No! Aye, you can't think of me like that! I love you, you can't misunderstand me like that..." Wei Jing's heart almost broke when she heard Shen Zhiye's words. She couldn't accept that her beloved man said this to her.
