Jiang Shi has never lifted anything so heavy since she married Jing Yongyan.
Seeing Xi Xinghe’s relaxed expression, she thought of helping out so that she could contact Xi Xinghe later.
She didn’t expect this country bumpkin to be so short-sighted and buy so many things. No wonder Jing Heguang just left him alone. If it were her, she would also find this embarrassing!
The smile on Jiang Shi’s face froze for a moment, then she called her son to help: “Xiao Jie, come and carry things for your brother Xinghe.”
Jing Jie also looked down on Xi Xinghe. Just looking at the big and small bags he carried, one could tell that he had never seen the world.
Jing Iie felt very lucky — this country bumpkin was married to his brother and it was not him.
However, when he thought about the biased Jing Yongyan who originally planned to let him marry this country bumpkin, Jing Jie’s relief turned into jealousy.
Jing Jie stood up reluctantly, took the things from Jiang Shi’s hand, and complained, “Brother is unwilling to help, why do you force me to help!”
Jiang Shi glared at him, “What nonsense are you talking about? We are family, what’s wrong with helping a bit?”
Jing Jie looked at Xi Xinghe and rolled his eyes at him.
— Country bumpkin!
Xi Xinghe was a little annoyed. Even if he was really a money-grubber, the quality of his friend isn’t that high, right?
However, thinking of Jing Heguang’s guess, Xi Xinghe didn’t say anything and suffered the loss in silence.
Xi Xinghe ignored Jing Jie and looked at Jiang Shi, wanting to see her attitude — To judge whether Jiang Shi has done anything wrong, he must first see whether she is sincere to Jing Heguang.
If it is sincere, the suspicion will be greatly reduced; otherwise, the suspicion will increase significantly.
Jiang Shi looked at him and smiled: “Xiao Jie is just like this. He will be fine once you get to know each other better. Don’t blame him.”
If it were Jing Heguang himself, Jiang Shi would definitely pull Jing Jie’s ears and make him apologize to show that she was fair and impartial.
However, Xi Xinghe created a ‘country bumpkin’ persona, which was despised by Jiang Shi. If her beloved son Jing Jie did something a little weird, Jiang Shi will pretend not to notice it.
Her youngest son’s father doesn’t love him, and Jiang Shi feels that she, the mother, is the only person who loves him and couldn’t bear to scold him unless it’s something serious.
After hearing this, Xi Xinghe became suspicious, but simply expressed his dissatisfaction on his face: “How rude!”
Jiang Shi had never seen such a stupid person, she pointed out implicitly but directly: “Maybe the thing is really heavy.” If one gets benefits, one should know how to restrain himself.
Xi Xinghe seemed not to understand and said with a smile, “Auntie, you are not strong enough, so just sit down below and I will carry the rest up! I bought so many clothes today and I have to go and pack them up.”
Jiang Shi felt a headache when she saw him carrying a bunch of small, miscellaneous branded clothes that she had never worn. She tried to smile gently and said, “Go ahead, go ahead, take your time to pack. You can call the nanny if you are too busy.”
Xi Xinghe caught up with Jing Jie carrying the things.
When Xi Xinghe was a child, apart from going to school, he worked in the family flower factory. He was very strong, so he caught up with Jing Jie in just a few steps.
Jing Jie delivered the things to the door of the wedding room on the second floor, glanced at Xi Xinghe, and then rang the doorbell.
Jing Heguang opened the door, and Jing Jie walked into the room familiarly and asked with a smile, “Brother, where should we put the things?”
Xi Xinghe answered first, “Just put them on the table in the small living room.”
Jing Jie gave him a dissatisfied look, put the things on the table, and glanced at Jing Heguang with an aggrieved expression.
Jing Heguang pretended not to see it and kept his eyes blank.
Jing Jie felt that he had performed well, so he looked worried and sighed, “Brother, I’m leaving now. Call me if you need anything.”
***
As soon as Jing Jie left, the door was closed.
Jing Heguang asked Xi Xinghe with concern: “Is it heavy? We can ask someone to help.”
Xi Xinghe said: “It’s nothing, it’s not even heavier than the big porcelain basin in my house.”
“And the effect of my acting was quite good. Aunties were stunned, and your brother even rolled his eyes at me.” Xi Xinghe complained righteously.
“I’ve remembered it.” Jing Heguang frowned slightly and kept it in mind.
Xi Xinghe smiled, then said seriously: “There’s indeed something wrong with your stepmother.”
“Just now, your brother rolled his eyes at me downstairs, and then looked at her.”
“If she really treats you as her own son, no matter how petty and money-hungry I am, she should give you some face. But she didn’t say a word to that boy!”
“Besides, if your illness doesn’t improve, you must be very fragile. She offended me so much, what if I bully you? She didn’t even think about that. She has no sincerity towards you at all.”
Xi Xinghe put himself in Jiang Shi’s shoes and felt that there must be something wrong with them.
Jing Heguang said: “It was only when I thought about it that I realized something was wrong. After all, we are not biological mother and son, so I also don’t expect her to treat me like her own son now.”
Xi Xinghe was very angry when he thought of Jing Heguang’s color blindness, which might be the result of what Jiang Shi and her son were doing.
He frowned and recalled the incident, then asked, focusing on the details: “When you were in a car accident, did you hurt your eyes directly? I see there are no scars around your eyes.”
Jing Heguang was stunned for a moment, then he dug up some information from his memory: “It wasn’t a direct injury to my eyes, it was a hit on my head. At first, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with the head injury. When I had a headache again, it was found out that I was color blind.”
As Jing Heguang spoke, he broke out in a cold sweat on his back: “You mean, there might be a problem with my color blindness too?”
Jing Heguang was not stupid, so he didn’t expect that the memory of the original owner would have such a huge impact on him.
In the original owner’s heart, he never thought there was anything wrong with the car accident, let alone the issue of being color blind. He just hated his own bad luck.
Moreover, the original owner’s memory was blurred, and the period when he first became color blind was very blurred. He did not want to recall his greatest pain.
Thus, Jing Heguang suspected the car accident, but he didn’t think that being color blind could be another separate issue.
Now that he thinks about it, maybe the car accident didn’t have a good effect, so the original owner became a severe ‘color blind’ patient.
Knowing how much the original owner valued painting, they deliberately made the original body color blind and destroyed him mentally. It was really cruel…
“I don’t know.” Xi Xinghe said, “It just feels like a coincidence. You happen to be a painter, and you hurt your eyes.”
Xi Xinghe said angrily. The more he looked at Jing Heguang, the more he felt that he was too naive. He knew to suspect that there was something wrong with the car accident, but he didn’t know to think deeply about it!
He is so naive. If he weren’t here, people would have eaten all his bones, right?
However, thinking about it again, many artists have simple personalities, which allows them to create without distraction.
Xi Xinghe suddenly felt his shoulders sink. While he was still with Jing Heguang, he had to protect Jing Heguang well!
Jing Heguang glanced at him and hugged him: “Xingxing, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would not have thought of this color blind issue.”
Xi Xinghe said angrily: “It’s not your fault that you didn’t think of it, they are just too bad!”
Now the situation is clear. There are not many people who know how much the original owner values his dream of painting, so who will take action.
After Xi Xinghe finished scolding the bad people, he found that Jing Heguang was hugging him.
Xi Xinghe thought that Jing Heguang must be very sad now, so he reached out and hugged Jing Heguang.
The two of them hugged each other tightly. When Jing Heguang felt Xi Xinghe also hugging his waist, his heart was filled with sweetness.
That’s it!
Playing the victim is really useful.
However, the original owner was really miserable. He never thought about inheriting Jing Yongyan’s career from beginning to end, but he was still killed.
Jing Heguang decided to go back and inherit the Jing family business! Jiang Shi and her son must be very angry!
Jing Heguang thought about Jiang Shi’s character and said to Xi Xinghe, “My stepmother is the type who has plans in mind before doing anything. She is very smart and scheming. She gets close to you, maybe just to use you, so you should be careful of her.”
Xi Xinghe’s eyes lit up, “Will she try to get in contact with me again? Then can I try to trick her?”
Because of Xi Xinghe’s ‘country bumpkin’ personality, Jiang Shi was not very guarded against him. After all, Jiang Shi could never have imagined that someone would be so enthusiastic about pretending to be a ‘country bumpkin’!
In Jiang Shi’s eyes, Xi Xinghe, who married into the Jing family and was still happy about that little bit of money, was a big fool. It was because of contempt that she revealed her flaws in front of Xi Xinghe.
Jing Heguang looked at his positive and excited expression, and always felt that…his little Xingxing was probably thinking about some classic wealthy family plot in his mind again.
Jing Heguang asked in a low voice: “Have you been reading any books or novels recently?” He had also read the novels about wealthy families.
Xi Xinghe widened his eyes and said with certainty: “No, I haven’t read any novels recently!” I just posted serial updates on Weibo.
Jing Heguang emphasized: “There is still a little gap between books and reality. I am more worried about your safety than figuring out this matter quickly.”
What if Xi Xinghe was exposed and was pushed down the stairs? Even if he can hold someone accountable afterwards, things have already happened to him, so it’s not worth it.
However, the progress must be accelerated. Jing Heguang thought that he had to express his desire to be cured.
There are issues about the medicine and doctor he saw last time, so it must be the same this time. When the time comes, let’s get the physical evidence and hand it over to Jing Yongyan.
As for whether Jing Yongyan will handle it fairly, there is no need to worry at all. Jing Yongyan will only be partial to Jing Heguang.
Jing Heguang was thinking about it when Xi Xinghe held him and shook him: “Let me try! I promise not to conflict with them. They want to use me, so they definitely want to please me. They can’t force me to do anything, right?”
Jing Heguang tightened his grip: “Don’t act like a spoiled child.”
“Is it okay? Is it okay?” Xi Xinghe continued to ask with a smile, shaking him as he asked.
Grandpa has a tough temper and responds to soft words rather than harsh ones, so Xi Xinghe feels that he is quite good at acting like a spoiled child.
Moreover, Xi Xinghe vaguely realized that Jing Heguang, with his good temper, would be easier to deal with than his grandpa, so he boldly made the request.
Jing Heguang couldn’t help but laugh: “Don’t ask like this next time.” If he asks if it’s okay, there is of course only one answer.
Jing Heguang added: “Don’t act recklessly, I will assign you a task. You can say that I am considering seeing a psychiatrist.”
Seeing a psychiatrist means that Jing Heguang wants to cure his mental illness and wants to become better. That means Jing Heguang is no longer obsessed with art but wants to change for the better, which will make the ‘culprit behind the scenes’ more panicked than before.
Xi Xinghe: “Lure the snake out of its hole! This is a good trick. It won’t alert the snake either.”
Xi Xinghe felt even more excited – he would no longer be an ordinary country bumpkin who was greedy for money, but would be upgraded to a greedy ‘daughter-in-law’ who instigated her wealthy husband to fight for the family property!
But why is he not allowed to ask – ‘Is it okay?’
Xi Xinghe’s little head turned, then he let go of Jing Heguang with a red face.
Although the artist is naive, he is naturally proficient in seductive and hooligan skills.
Xi Xinghe thought that Jing Heguang could still see his face, so he turned around and looked for the grapefruit tea he had brought up to cool down.
Two cups of grapefruit tea were placed side by side on the table, and Xi Xinghe took the two cups out of the bag.
Then he looked at the one with more and the one with less, hesitated for a second, and drank the one with more in one gulp.
If one doesn’t have evil thoughts, what about is it okay? What’s the use of thinking if you don’t do it!
Jing Heguang saw him drinking grapefruit tea and talking for a while, then he also felt a little thirsty.
But he found that the grapefruit tea Xi Xinghe drank seemed to be his cup???
