- Chapter 49 - He Zhuo, I Need You
It’s over.
If he heard this, he would probably hide under the covers and cry for three days and three nights, lamenting that his most beloved father had abandoned him like this.
“The child?” Jiang Youxi asked in confusion, “Jiang Xu, you don’t want him anymore?”
“What does this have to do with him?”
“How can you say it’s not related? He’s your own child!”
“I don’t even want my own children.”
Why not?
Jiang Xu is indeed a big eater and a bit stubborn, but at least he’s kind-hearted and knows how to care for and love his old mother.
In particular, he blindly idolizes He Zhuo, making him a complete brainless fan of his own father.
How can we just abandon such a good child?
He Zhuo remained indifferent: “I’m not interested in men.”
Jiang Youxi replied without hesitation: “So you’re interested in me?”
You guessed right.
“What?”
He lightly tapped the tip of her nose: “I’m only interested in you.”
“…”
etc!
Could it be that he hasn’t given up on the idea of her sleeping with him?!
He Zhuo picked up the porridge again, preparing to continue feeding her, when he saw the little girl rubbing her chin with her fingertips, looking at him as if she were studying an artifact.
As if she had thought of something, she looked conflicted and hesitant, but finally she took a desperate gamble and went all out.
He Zhuo just stared at her.
The little girl suddenly smiled sweetly at him, her almond-shaped eyes full of “calculation”: “Senior He Zhuo, do you… really want me to be your child?”
He Zhuo wasn’t fooled: “It depends on your performance.”
“What do you mean by that? Didn’t you say it yourself? You said that I’m the only child you’ve ever had in your life.”
The man narrowed his eyes: “So…?”
“Senior He Zhuo, I’m willing to be your child for the rest of my life, but not the only one, because I have a condition.”
“What are the conditions?”
The little girl’s index and middle fingers, like tiny people, walked step by step along the soft bed, climbing onto his hand, and playfully teasing his slender fingers: “Recognize Jiang Xu as your second child.”
He Zhuo chuckled: “Alright, give me a hundred reasons why I must recognize him as my son.”
“One hundred?!”
She doesn’t even have a hundred in savings!
“If you can’t explain it, then you won’t admit it.”
“…”
OK.
Jiang Xu’s path to recognizing his father is still long and arduous.
“Speaking of which, something comes to mind.”
Jiang Youxi blinked: “What is it?”
“What will I do if you die?” He leaned closer to her, his eyes focused and serious. “What do you mean by that?”
“I……”
The situation was urgent, and she was shocked when she said those words.
She couldn’t understand why she suddenly said that.
After careful analysis, the only explanation she could come up with was that she was afraid he and Jiang Xu would both leave because of this.
If something really happens to him, then the future of the three of them will be different.
She may not have been affected, but the one most affected was Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu is her and He Zhuo’s future son.
If He Zhuo really died, then her future husband would not be He Zhuo.
If the object is not He Zhuo, then Jiang Xu will cease to exist in the future.
In the worst-case scenario, Jiang Xu might disappear completely from the universe at some point in the future, just like in movies and TV dramas.
She didn’t want it to end like this.
Whether it’s He Zhuo or Jiang Xu.
She just wanted them to be okay.
“Um?”
“If I said I meant nothing, would you…” She glanced at him cautiously, “…believe me?”
Do you think I believe that?
“I think you believe it.”
“That might disappoint you,” he smiled, “I don’t believe it.”
“…”
“Jiang Youxi, I want to hear the truth.”
“Actually… I’m worried about you.” She looked up and met the man’s astonished gaze. “He Zhuo, I don’t want you to die.”
I don’t want him to waste his prime years and his promising future because of a scumbag.
Jiang Youxi took his hand and said, “He Zhuo, Jiang Xu needs you, so you must live well.”
“And you?”
“What?”
“Jiang Youxi, do you need me?”
Jiang Youxi was stunned.
He looked at her, his gaze dark and intense, concealing unspeakable emotions.
My heart was pounding like a drum, as if it were about to leap out of my chest, beating without warning.
“I…” Jiang Youxi scratched her head, then suddenly asked, “If I said I needed you, would you promise me that you would live a good life?”
“It depends on your performance.”
That same phrase again.
“Okay!” the little girl smiled sweetly, “Then I need you!”
He Zhuo paused, staring blankly at the little girl’s bright smile.
Her smile was open and sincere, which was very touching.
But it was just honesty, without any emotion other than sincere wishes for his well-being.
Even so, his heart would easily soften at her sincerity.
Jiang Youxi leaned closer to him, tilting her head to look at him: “Aren’t you going to say anything?”
What does it mean?
“You promised! Or you’d promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you’ll live well!”
“Okay, I promise you.”
Jiang Youxi held up her little finger: “We have to pinky swear!”
He Zhuo glanced at the little finger: “No.”
“How could you not? It’s something all children do in their childhood.”
“I had no childhood.”
“…”
You’re blatantly lying!
“I’ll teach you!” Jiang Youxi grabbed his hand, hooked his little finger together, pressed her thumb against his thumb, and waved it, “Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years!”
Jiang Youxi added a final reminder: “You promised, you have to stay alive!”
He Zhuo smiled and gently rubbed his fingertip against hers: “Yes, ma’am.”
Jiang Youxi’s face flushed inexplicably as her fingertips were rubbed until they felt itchy. She quickly withdrew her hand.
He’s suddenly being so obedient.
I’m still not used to it.
He Zhuo continued feeding her porridge: “But I really have to thank you.”
“Thank me for what?”
“I did act impulsively that day. If you hadn’t stopped me in time, I might have really killed Fang Qi.”
“If you could do it all over again, would you still hit him like that?”
“meeting.”
“…”
Is this still considered impulsive?
“What about Fang Qi? How is he now?”
Regardless, we must prevent anyone from dying, otherwise, if things escalate, it will be bad for everyone.
“He is being treated at the city hospital.”
Thinking of Fang Qi’s terrible condition that day, Jiang Youxi still felt lingering fear: “Was he saved?”
“have no idea.”
He has been staying at the hospital with her for the past two days, leaving all outside matters to his assistant, and he knows nothing about them.
“I’ll handle this. Just focus on recovering.”
“good.”
After feeding him the porridge, He Zhuo got up and left the ward.
As he stepped out of the ward, he saw Uncle Jiang standing at the door. Seeing him come out, Uncle Jiang asked, “Is Xixi feeling any better?”
“Much better.”
Uncle Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the little girl in the ward through the window, and then gestured for someone to come in private to talk.
He Zhuo understood and followed him out of the hospital, arriving at the corner of the hospital corridor.
“He Zhuo, what do you plan to do?”
The world outside has been in complete chaos these past few days.
When the Fang family learned that the Jiang family had assaulted Fang Qi, they immediately called the police.
Jiang Shaoyang and Zhang Chao, along with anyone else who had initiated the attack, were all taken away by the police for investigation.
Now only He Zhuo is left.
Uncle Jiang never expected this matter to escalate so much. He was angry that the Fang family had gone too far, and he felt even more sorry for his daughter’s helplessness as she was constantly harassed by Fang Qi.
In the past two days, he has been dealing with the Fang family and has also written a letter of complaint to his superiors, hoping they will investigate the matter.
But so many days have passed, and all his reports have gone unanswered.
He knew that in the face of justice, ordinary people like them would never have any fairness.
Seeing his worry, He Zhuo said, “This matter was done by me alone and has nothing to do with you.”
“You want to confess yourself?”
“Won’t.”
Uncle Jiang looked at him.
The man’s eyes were firm, and he looked confident of victory.
“Do you have a solution?”
“Don’t worry, you’ll all be fine.”
Although he didn’t explain exactly how to do it, seeing his confident and at ease made Uncle Jiang feel inexplicably at ease.
“He Zhuo, I know your feelings, but this matter was caused by our Jiang family, and I don’t want to drag you down with me,” Uncle Jiang sighed. “The Jiang family still has me, and I have a responsibility to protect you, especially you.”
Seeing the deep weariness in his eyes, He Zhuo felt guilty: “Uncle, will you blame me for hitting you?”
They were in the right in this matter, but the other party took action, putting them in a passive position.
“No, before you made your move, Xiao Yang had already started the attack. From the moment Fang Qi started harassing Li Li, this matter was never going to end easily.”
Uncle Jiang looked at him and said, “He Zhuo, I am very grateful to you for standing up for Xixi. The police have been looking for you these past few days. You should hide for a while and come back when things have calmed down.”
There’s no escaping it.
He hadn’t intended to hide in the first place.
He must completely eliminate this remnant of the Fang family this time, otherwise the consequences will be endless and the Jiang family will never have peace again.
“Uncle, I will handle this matter.”
“Nonsense!” Uncle Jiang said sternly. “How can you, a mere child, handle this?”
Uncle Jiang used both soft and hard tactics: “He Zhuo, listen to me, leave Luyang Township first to lay low and wait for things to happen…”
He Zhu rushed over: “Mr. He, the police are here.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than several uniformed police officers approached: “Are you He Zhuo?”
“yes.”
“take away!”
