Chapter 727: Chapter 721
Jing Xin is on leave today, and he specifically went back to the Jing’s residence. He had also looked into his wife’s situation and realized how difficult her life had been. No wonder she wanted to leave him – he didn’t think he could bear such a life either. It was indeed too difficult.
“Xin’er, you’re back.” Jing Xiaonan asked when he saw Jing Xin.
“Yes, I came to visit.” Jing Xin didn’t even want to call this adoptive father by his name.
“Come in, have you eaten yet?” Jing Xiaonan asked Jing Xin. By this time, their family had already had dinner. Jing Xin had lived in their house for many years, so how could he not know? This was just a casual question. Even if Jing Xin said he hadn’t eaten, there wouldn’t be any food left for him.
“I’ve eaten. Dad, I came today because I have something to tell you.” Jing Xin came here on purpose, so of course, he had to make the matter clear. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time, right?
“You just got back, and you must be tired. Let’s talk about it after you’ve rested.” Jing Xiaonan wasn’t stupid – he knew that Jing Xin must have something to say at this point. They didn’t expect him to come back at this time, and it caught them off guard. He wanted Jing Xin to rest so they could think of a countermeasure.
“No need. After I finish, I have to go back to work. The current task is important, and it’s not good if I delay it for too long. Let’s sit down and talk it out.” Jing Xin didn’t want the matter to drag on, as it wasn’t good for everyone.
‘You’re in such a hurry, you haven’t been back for a long time.’ Jing Xiaonan looked at this child, who was very promising. It was a pity that he wasn’t their blood relative; otherwise, their family wouldn’t be in such a situation now.
“Yes, you know how busy things are at the bureau, and it’s not up to me to decide. I only took half a day off.” Jing Xin only mentioned taking half the day because he didn’t want to waste time here. If he had that time, he might as well go back and spend it with his wife and child.
“Well, just tell me what’s on your mind, I’m listening.” Jing Xiaonan wondered what it could be – was it because they drove his wife away?
“Dad, I hope that no one from our family will bother Fang Xiu in the future. She’s having a hard time raising the child alone. If there’s anything you need, tell me instead. What do you think?” Jing Xin thought that it wasn’t time to tear their faces apart yet, and he wanted to find out about his origins from the Jings.
Originally, he had no hope, but after witnessing Mrs. Jing’s constant harassment, he started to wonder if there was something on him or in his biological family that they wanted.
So after careful consideration, he decided not to tear their faces apart for now, as it would be easier for him to investigate that way.
“Has Fang Xiu said something to you?” Jing Xiaonan thought there must be a reason for him to say this after not coming back for so long. They could only think of Fang Xiu saying something, but Jing Xin wouldn’t let his wife take the blame, would he?
“No, it’s just that I’ve seen mom go to Fang Xiu several times, even to the point of making her faint. It’s already difficult for her to raise the child alone. If she falls ill, I don’t know how they will survive.” Jing Xin thought about his wife, who was pregnant with their child. If something went wrong, it would be unbearable for them.
“Let them come back then. Our house has a place to stay, and your room is still here. Besides, after the child is back, we can help take care of them, making it easier for her to do whatever she wants without worrying about the kid.” Jing Xiaonan thought that as long as Fang Xiu and their child returned, why would Jing Xin not come back, too?
