Chapter 432 - Threat To Shao Qihai
Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs
Jiang Feng was stunned when he saw Shao Dong. âShao Dong, your father has gastrointestinal bleeding.â
âI understand. Iâll go visit him.â Shao Dong nodded. âIf youâre here to inform us, thank you. But if youâre here to scold my mother, then Iâm sorry, Uncle Jiang. Our family wonât welcome you here anymore.â
Jiang Fengâs expression changed. âShao Dong, you⦠Iâm defending your father.â
âThis is a family matter. You donât have to help my father fight for justice.â Shao Dong held Mu Jingzheâs hand. âOne shouldnât do the same thing more than three times. If you do this again, Mommy will hit you directly.â
The door was closed with a bang, almost hitting his nose. Jiang Feng stood at the door, his face livid. A hint of confusion flashed across his eyes. Had he really done something wrong?
However, he was really only doing this because he felt indignant on Brother Haiâs behalf. Brother Hai was such a wonderful man, so why did Mu Jingzhe have to divorce him and choose Ji Buwang? Wasnât it because Ji Buwang was rich?
Besides, from the looks of it, the five kids had also been completely brainwashed by Mu Jingzhe. Even at a time like this, they were still standing by her side. Brother Hai was really pitiful.
Jiang Feng stood outside the door for a moment. In the end, because he was worried about Shao Qihai, he returned to the hospital.
Not long after he went back, Shao Qihai happened to wake up. âWhere have you been?â His memories after getting drunk were intermittent. At the thought of how badly he had cried, Shao Qihai felt too ashamed to face Jiang Feng.
âI went to look for Mu Jingzhe,â Jiang Feng answered after some hesitation.
âMu Jingzhe? Why did you go looking for her?â Shao Qihai was shocked. âDonât tell me you went to spout nonsense again?â
Jiang Feng pursed his lips. âBrother Hai, I just felt bad seeing you so devastated. When did you ever cry like that? I couldnât bear to see you like that. My heart aches for you, Brother Hai. Thatâs why I wentâ¦â
Shao Qihai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He was no stranger to crying, and there had been countless occasions when he had cried so hard that heâd had difficulty breathing. Wasnât it insignificant?
âJiang Feng, although I feel terrible, relationships arenât like anything else. Donât be like this in the future. I know youâre doing this for my own good, but thereâs really no need. If you do this, how will I face Mu Jingzhe in the future?â
Jiang Feng hadnât expected Shao Qihai to not support him either. For a moment, he felt terrible. Had he really done something wrong?
As Jiang Feng was struggling, Shao Dongâs voice was heard. âDaddy.â
While it was still early, Mu Jingzhe had brought the children to visit Shao Qihai. After all, he had gastrointestinal bleeding.
When Shao Qihai saw Mu Jingzhe and Shao Dong come in, he almost burrowed into the ground. Seeing that the five kids were looking at his eyes, he reacted by quickly covering them.
Ahhh, this was so embarrassing. His eyes were definitely swollen.
The kidsâ expressions were subtle. Little Bei blinked. âDaddy, were you crying?â
âNo, why would I cry? Iâm a man. I just felt unwell after drinking.â Shao Qihai denied it without hesitation.
Despite feeling that he must have been crying, Little Bei gave Shao Qihai some face.
The children asked Shao Qihai how he was feeling because Shao Qihai kept covering his eyes, feeling too embarrassed to look at them. Because they had to go to school, they didnât talk much to him before bidding him farewell. On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe stayed behind.
âIf you are having gastric issues, donât drink anymore.â
âI understand.â Shao Qihai looked at Jiang Feng. âJiang Feng told you some nonsense earlier. Donât get mad or mind him.â
âItâs fine. If he says it again, though, Iâll hit him directly. I only came to advise you not to drink anymore. Otherwise, the kids will be worried again.â
Mu Jingzhe really didnât have any ill feelings for Shao Qihai. When sheâd heard that he had gotten drunk, she had felt strange. However, she really didnât want Jiang Feng to nag her anymore, so she thought for a moment and said, âActually, I know your secret, so if you continue drinking or Jiang Feng comes to find me again, Iâll come and cry in front of you. Then, youâllâ¦â
Cry like a dog. Mu Jingzhe chuckled.
Shao Qihai: ââ¦â
He had never expected to be threatened like this.
Mu Jingzhe didnât stay for long. She quickly left, leaving Shao Qihai with a smile that was even uglier than crying.
Jiang Feng frowned and watched from the side. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Shao Qihai glanced at him. âDonât think that sheâs really threatening me. Sheâs just concerned about me. She hopes I wonât ruin my health.â
He could understand Mu Jingzheâs intentions. Shao Qihai took a deep breath. âJiang Feng, I know that you did all of this because you care about me. I know that. But Jingzhe didnât do anything wrong. Donât look for her again in the future. Weâre raising the children together and we still have many opportunities to interact. I donât want to lose this opportunity.â
He wasnât convinced, and he was sad because his love for her wasnât inferior to Ji Buwangâs. However, since Mu Jingzhe had chosen Ji Buwang, he should acknowledge it. He didnât want to get to a point when he couldnât even be friends with Mu Jingzhe.
Jiang Feng looked at Shao Qihai and finally regretted it. âIâm sorry, Brother Hai. You clearly told me so last time, but I stillâ¦â
He felt indignant on Brother Haiâs behalf, but after calming down and thinking about it, he realized that his so-called feeling of injustice only pushed Mu Jingzhe further away. The person who bore all the consequences was Shao Qihai.
âI can apologize to her. I donât know what got over me. I was clearly taught a lesson last time, but I canât control myself at all.â
âNo need. Donât blame yourself. Itâs fine as long as you donât do this again in the future. The heavens have actually treated me well by once granting someone like me such a marriage.â Shao Qihai smiled sadly. âBecause of her, the kids will grow up well. This is the greatest kindness to me.â
Jiang Fengâs lips curled into a smile. This was probably the greatest blessing in all this misfortune.
âTreat this as my last indulgence. I wonât do it again. Iâll be the best role model for the children. Like they said, I should cherish my health. At least, I wonât drag them down. Iâve survived all the difficult days of the past. Iâll get through this as well.â
Shao Qihai believed that he could make it through. This was the way of the world. There wasnât a single person one couldnât live without. No matter how difficult it was, he would eventually get over this.
After Shao Qihai was discharged from the hospital, he really returned to normal. The five kids took turns to keep him company, and they only heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that he was fine.
When Mu Jingzhe found out, she heaved a sigh of relief too. She hadnât expected a novel or a television drama to happen in real life. It was actually a little awkward, which was why she had tried to persuade him by using a threat. Now that she knew that there was no problem, she heaved a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, Mu Jingzhe found herself in a passionate relationship. Whenever she had nothing to do, she would be with Ji Buwang. And whenever they were apart, she would miss him.
They were already familiar with each other, so they didnât really have to adjust to each otherâs presence. The only problem she had to take note of was that she had to control her emotions and strength to prevent herself from accidentally hurting Ji Buwang.
Ji Buwang suggested that they practice more. Once she got used to it, there wouldnât be any accidents.
Therefore, they had to find an opportunity to kiss and hug whenever possible. After a while, although she would occasionally lose control, it was finally much better.
