Xu Jiangzhe pushed Bai Yichen back to the villa and was immediately spotted by Liu Ling who was preparing to eat. When she saw her son coming back, she greeted him enthusiastically: "Jiangzhe is back, come and have dinner." As for Bai Yichen who was pushed by Xu Jiangzhe, she simply ignored him.
Facing his mother's greeting, Xu Jiangzhe just raised his head and chuckled, "I'll take Ziqian back to his room first."
As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair into the elevator on the side of the house.
Seeing her son's back disappearing in the elevator, Liu Ling leaned back in anger and almost lost her appetite for food. To say that her son was really proud of everything, the only thing that made her dissatisfied was that he cared too much about that disabled burden.
Liu Ling felt a little sick when she thought about how good her son was to that burden. No matter what good things his son had, he would send them to that burden first. He even did things for that burden that only a caregiver could do. It made her a little angry every time she saw it.
But when I think about the good relationship my son has had with that burden since he was young, and how when the burden first got into trouble, they said a lot in front of him that they would always take care of him and treat him like their own son, maybe my son took it seriously. Alas, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have said such nice things.
It's a pity that her son has grown up now and is a man with his own ideas, which cannot be easily changed. However, this also indirectly shows that her son is a man who values friendship and will definitely be filial in the future.
Liu Ling's thoughts went through many twists and turns, and finally came back to the focus of her son's strengths, and then she forced a smile.
…
Xu Jiangzhe pushed Bai Yichen back to the bedroom, parked the wheelchair beside the bed, then bent down, picked him up and put him on the bed. His movements were steady and professional, and it was obvious that this was not the first time he had done this.
As soon as Bai Yichen was put on the bed, he supported himself with his hands and moved back a little, further away from Xu Jiangzhe, and then said in a calm voice: "Your mother is still waiting for you, go downstairs to eat first."
Xu Jiangzhe naturally noticed Bai Yichen's little action, but he just raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say much.
Xu Jiangzhe raised his finger and gently pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. When his eyes swept across the dinner plate on the table, he finally spoke, "Let me feed you first, before it gets cold."
After Bai Yichen and Xu Weihai had a falling out, he never had a meal with the Xu family again. His meals were delivered to his room separately every day. Fortunately, Xu Jiangzhe was watching over him, so the meals were delivered promptly every day and were never delayed.
Hearing Xu Jiangzhe's words, Bai Yichen's brows furrowed even more obviously. However, before he could say no, Xu Jiangzhe had already picked up a bowl and sat next to Bai Yichen. He picked up a thin piece of lotus root slice with chopsticks and fed it to Bai Yichen's mouth.
Bai Yichen looked at Xu Jiangzhe steadily for a while, and gave up the idea of continuing to refuse. It was useless to refuse anyway. He lowered his head and ate the lotus root slice.
When Xu Jiangzhe saw that Bai Yichen finally ate the food he fed him, and lowered his head to reveal his slender white neck, a smile appeared on his face, with a hint of satisfaction in that smile.
Xu Jiangzhe fed Bai Yichen mouthful by mouthful without any impatience on his face. Because Bai Yichen had shrunk a little into the bed to avoid him, his sitting position was also a little closer to the inside than usual. In short, it was still a very intimate and aggressive distance.
Bai Yichen was naturally impatient to be fed bite by bite like this. After all, it was his legs that could not move, not his hands. However, he did not try to interrupt Xu Jiangzhe because over the years, he had already recognized Xu Jiangzhe's character of not knowing what refusal was.
He didn't know whether it was Xu Jiangzhe's nature or whether the environment could really change a person. In five years, he witnessed with his own eyes that a child who was originally quite cute gradually became paranoid and overbearing, doing things his own way and almost refusing to listen to any of his objections. And his status as a dependent also made him have no strength and confidence to resist. Over time, he could only go along with Xu Jiangzhe's actions.
In this way, Bai Yichen was fed mouthful by mouthful and finished his meal. When he finally saw Xu Jiangzhe leaving with the empty plate, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After Xu Jiangzhe left Bai Yichen's room with the meal tray, he did not take the elevator, but went straight down the stairs. The spiral staircase in the villa reached the bottom in less than a minute under his long legs.
Liu Ling, who was already halfway through her meal at the dining table, started to get angry again when she saw her son's appearance. As soon as she saw Xu Jiangzhe's appearance, she knew what he had done and why he had only come down now. She couldn't help but said sarcastically, "Really? People who don't know don't know who the real young master of this family is."
Xu Jiangzhe turned a deaf ear to his mother's words and let the servant beside him take the plate from his hand. He then sat down at the dining table and began to eat elegantly but not slowly.
Liu Ling was just nitpicking out of habit. Seeing her son eating so fast, she immediately felt distressed. She quickly picked up some food for Xu Jiangzhe and asked with concern, "Are you hungry? Are you tired at school? If you are tired, pay more attention to rest and don't work too hard."
Liu Ling's words were full of love and concern. In fact, over the years, her son was indeed her greatest pride.
Since when, her son seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, becoming much more mature than his peers. After his handsome face grew up, he put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which added a touch of gentleness and sharpness to his whole person.
At the same time, her son's academic performance has become more and more outstanding. He is also a top student in that private elite school. He looks at things calmly and rationally on weekdays, which really makes them proud.
If her son is really good in every way, it would be even better if he could pay less attention to the cripple. However, as Xu Jiangzhe got older and more independent, they gradually dared not make decisions for him, and Liu Ling could only nag him.
While Xu Jiangzhe was eating, he was listening to his mother's muttering. Of course, apart from telling him to take care of his health, the rest of her mutterings said bad things about Bai Yichen.
Xu Jiangzhe listened to those words and his hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, then he forced himself to relax, only speeding up his eating speed.
There were some things he didn't understand back then, but now he is no longer the kid who knew nothing.
He no longer naively thought that his parents adopted Ziqian because they wanted to take good care of him because of their friendship with Uncle Bai. In fact, his parents' actions over the years had already told him clearly that their ultimate goal was just to seize Ziqian's inheritance.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiangzhe pushed his glasses up, and his slightly narrowed eyes became even colder.
In fact, he felt somewhat disgusted with his parents' behavior, but at the same time, he felt more sympathy for the helpless Ziqian.
But even though he knew everything, he was unable to give Ziqian back what he deserved.
He was not greedy for Ziqian's inheritance, but he knew clearly that the reason why Ziqian had stayed in this family and by his side all these years was because his father held the guardianship of Ziqian and the inheritance.
If he returned everything to Ziqian, Ziqian, who had freedom and property, would never stay here again, but would fly to a place where he could no longer reach.
When he thought that Ziqian would no longer be able to stay by his side like this, he felt heartbroken and could not accept it at all.
Therefore, he also became an accomplice, an accomplice who knew what crimes his parents had committed but still went along with them.
Similarly, although he knew that his parents were trying to seize Ziqian's property, they were not kind to Ziqian at all and kept throwing dirty water on Ziqian. How shameless is this behavior. He should stand up, question his parents loudly, and refute all the insults and unfair words that his parents used on Ziqian.
However, this behavior of his parents pushed Ziqian to the opposite side, to a place where no one would lend a helping hand.
Yes, in this family, because of his parents’ attitude and their words, no one will give Ziqian a bit of kindness.
In this situation, in this place, he is Ziqian's only support, and Ziqian can only choose to rely on him.
Ziqian belongs to him alone.
This feeling made him deeply addicted and unable to control himself.
