Chapter 170
The problem was, almost everyone in the family had turned into Jing Zeqian...
Except for Jing Beicheng, who wasn\'t much of a talker, but even he had increased his concern for Jing Yi significantly.
Jing Yi flopped onto the bed in resignation, "I feel like I\'m turning into a salted fish." Shen Xi chuckled at her helpless demeanor, "Isn\'t becoming a salted fish your lifelong goal?"
Jing Yi\'s muffled voice came through, "...Not a salted fish that can only lie on a hospital bed. I want to be a free salted fish."
Are salted fish really divided into free and unfree?
Shen Xi could only comfort her that she would be discharged in a few days, though Jing Yi had heard this countless times already.
Jing Zeqian, who had been nagged by Jing Yi, brought the snacks she had requested to the hospital, only to find her missing from the room.
Jing Zeqian looked puzzled at Lin Ruiqing, "Mom, where\'s Jing Yi?" After asking him to buy so many things, she wasn\'t even in the room.
Was that reasonable?
"She went out to bask in the sun with Zeyou."
Lin Ruiqing noticed the snacks Jing Zeqian was carrying and frowned slightly, "Why did you bring those snacks? Yi needs to recuperate and can\'t eat these miscellaneous things."
Jing Zeqian felt utterly wronged. It wasn\'t his idea to bring them; Jing Yi had insisted on it! She had even specified each store, fearing he would casually skimp on her.
But Jing Zeqian didn\'t dare tell the truth to Lin Ruiqing. Since she had already scolded him, there was no need to let Jing Yi get scolded again.
Seeing Lin Ruiqing about to confiscate the snacks, Jing Zeqian quickly hid some, trying to slip by unnoticed, but Lin Ruiqing caught him.
Jing Zeqian grinned, "I\'ll eat these myself, myself." He stuffed the snacks into his pocket as he spoke.
Lin Ruiqing looked at him disapprovingly, muttering, "You\'re so old and still eating these snacks." She also reminded him, "Don\'t tease Yi with them in front of her."
Jing Zeqian felt even more wronged. Was it easy for him to let Jing Yi have a taste of what she wanted?
Walking in the hospital\'s small park with Jing Zeyou, Jing Yi stretched and took a deep breath, savoring the long-awaited sunshine.
Jing Zeyou helped Jing Yi to a bench to rest, then crouched in front of her, handing her the sunscreen shirt he had brought, remembering her usual sunbathing essentials.
"Big Brother, my injury is almost healed. Can I go home now?" Her voice sounded pitiful.
"I\'ll ask the doctor later. If there\'s no problem, I\'ll take you home in a few days."
Jing Yi smiled brightly, her tone full of joy, "That\'s great! Finally, I can go home!" She now understood how Lin Ruiqing felt during her hospital stay.
Jing Zeyou smiled at her and sat beside her, enjoying the sun together.
The environment of this small garden was excellent, with a sea of green and a quiet atmosphere, the sunlight filtering through the leaves onto them.
"It\'s been a long time since I\'ve sunbathed with Big Brother!"
Jing Zeyou\'s lips unconsciously curved upwards. It had indeed been a while since the last time, which was when Jing Yi first came to the Jing family. Little did he expect so much would happen during this period.
Jing Yi closed her eyes, enjoying the sun, and said, "Big Brother, do you have something on your mind?"
"Why do you ask?"
He wasn\'t one to show his emotions easily, so Jing Zeyou was a bit surprised that Jing Yi could so keenly sense his mood.
"Just a feeling."
Jing Zeyou was taken aback, then smiled gently, "There are some things I can\'t figure out."
Jing Yi opened her eyes and sat up straight, "Do you want to talk about it?"
[Today\'s \'Sister of Understanding\' is online!]
Jing Zeyou\'s eyes carried a faint smile as he told Jing Yi about his meeting with Wang Boqi.
The hostility from the Wang family towards the Jing family didn\'t surprise Jing Zeyou, but he had never thought his influence on Wang Boqi would be so profound.
Jing Yi nodded in agreement, thinking of her previous provocations towards Wang Boqi. The impact was indeed significant, almost to the point of obsession.
How much of the \'defeat Jing Zeyou\' concept had Wang He instilled in Wang Boqi to create such a deep-rooted obsession?
Jing Zeyou wouldn\'t let Wang Boqi off the hook. Not only because of Jing Zejun\'s incident, but also because Jing Yi had suffered so much because of him.
However, he and Wang Boqi had known each other since childhood. He had imagined they might become enemies, but he hadn\'t expected such a stark opposition.
Jing Yi listened quietly to Jing Zeyou, knowing that he was not in a good place emotionally. As the CEO of Hengjing, he seemed glamorous, but Jing Yi knew how much Jing Zeyou had sacrificed after joining the Jing family.
[Being \'someone else\'s child\' isn\'t that easy.]
Although Jing Yi often teased Jing Zeyou as a \'workaholic,\' it was for Hengjing that he pushed himself so hard.
Looking at Jing Zeyou, Jing Yi suddenly said, "Big Brother, do you know? You\'re the least like a domineering CEO I\'ve ever seen."
His decisiveness and wisdom couldn\'t hide the fact that Jing Zeyou was inherently kind.
Hearing this, Jing Zeyou was puzzled. What did it mean to be unlike a domineering CEO?
Jing Yi\'s lips curved suddenly, her cheeks showing a deep and shallow dimple, revealing a touch of natural cuteness.
Jing Beicheng was stern, Jing Zeqian was arrogant, Shen Huaichu was cold.
Only Jing Zeyou, she didn\'t know how to describe him with a single word, or rather, she felt that no word could fully capture the goodness of Jing Zeyou.
To her, Jing Zeyou felt like an unfinished sketch, not perfect, just with a rough outline.
Aliali: 6748ac5ec4f3f33ac47c6ad8But the artist couldn\'t add any more strokes, because each stroke wouldn\'t make the sketch better.
"In short, being a relative or friend of Big Brother must be a very happy thing."
For a moment, Jing Zeyou was taken aback, feeling something in his heart touched.
For over thirty years, he had heard all kinds of praise, whether it was for his intelligence or his resourcefulness, none had been as touching as Jing Yi\'s words.
After a while, his lips curved slightly, "This is the most pleasing compliment I\'ve heard in so many years."
Jing Yi couldn\'t help but smile, her dimples faintly visible, shining brightly under the sun.
The breeze rustled the leaves, and Jing Zeyou sat beside Jing Yi, feeling the warmth of the sun on his body, his heart filled with peace.
"Brother! Jing Yi!"
Well, the peace was shattered.
Jing Zeyou opened his eyes to see who it was, and for a moment, he wondered if his dear brother couldn\'t stand to see him idle.
