Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs - Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Everyone was quite glad that Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang had finally gotten together, especially Li Zhaodi and the gang. After handling the most important matter in Mu Jingzhe’s life, they were just waiting for the wedding. They started to urge Mu Han to get married as soon as possible too. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be proper.

Mu Han’s head hurt when he heard that. He didn’t know why this fire had reached him.

The five kids didn’t have many objections. After all, they were already mentally prepared. To be honest, Ji Buwang had been waiting for Mu Jingzhe for so many years and had treated them very well during this period.

Even though Shao Qihai had treated them well before his return, they didn’t have much to say.

However, the fact that Mu Jingzhe had stayed in the capital for a week before returning had shocked them. They hadn’t expected her to be such a mother.

Shao Dong and the others even suddenly understood the mentality of a mother-in-law that Li Zhaodi and the others often talked about. When a son was criticized for being unfilial, it was usually because they had forgotten about their mother after marrying someone. In their case, their mommy had forgotten about her mother… No, wait, she had forgotten about her sons and daughter before she had even gotten married…

In the past, Mommy had never been like this. She had been led astray by Uncle Ji. Uncle Ji must have led her astray, just like those vixens in television dramas.

Shao Xi had seen through Ji Buwang’s nature many years ago and had known that he would snatch his mother away. In the end, he really did snatch her away.

“Vixen…” That wasn’t all. Shao Xi even added another nickname. “Wicked Concubine Ji.”

Shao Dong, who had heard this clearly, held his forehead. Although he felt that Shao Xi’s description was absurd, he thought that it was very accurate. If one looked at Ji Buwang’s expression, he really did show the characteristics of a wicked concubine.

“Stop talking and eat more.” Shao Dong picked up a drumstick and stuffed it in Shao Xi’s mouth.

Although it was just a passing remark, Shao Dong still found time to gather his younger siblings and hold a simple meeting.

“Don’t say anything about Mommy going to find Uncle Ji. Don’t show a reaction either. This is a good thing. Don’t glare at him just because you’re not used to it.

“Think about it. When we grow up, we’ll go to school and busy ourselves with our careers. We’ll even have our own families in the future. When we leave Mommy one by one, what will happen to her? Will she be left alone? It’s good for her that she’s found a partner now. In the future, when she gets old, she’ll have Uncle Ji to accompany her.

“Therefore, we can’t say nonsense just because we can’t leave Mommy now. We should be happy about this.”

Shao Xi wanted to say that, in that case, he wouldn’t get married and he would keep Mommy company. However, when he saw Shao Dong’s gaze, he silently shut his mouth.

Everyone took it well. The only person who didn’t accept it was probably Shao Qihai.

It would be a wonder if he accepted it. Actually, it wasn’t that surprising. He had thought about it in the past, and it could be said that he had been mentally prepared. However, when this scenario became a reality, he still found it difficult to accept.

Seeing the vibe between Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe turn sweet, after Shao Qihai took a few glances, his heart ached. He really wouldn’t have a chance in the future.

When Shao Qihai returned, because he truly felt awful, he couldn’t help but get drunk, like countless other seniors. He felt that perhaps he could forget his pain after getting drunk.

In the end, when he got drunk, it only made him feel worse. He even lost his usual self-control because of the alcohol. Then, he burst into tears.

When people got drunk, everyone’s reaction was different. Shao Qihai was the sort who would sob uncontrollably.

Coincidentally, Jiang Feng returned and saw Shao Qihai, who was crying loudly. Shao Qihai’s secret was still intact. Only Mu Jingzhe had seen him cry like a dog and knew that he couldn’t bear to see anyone cry.

However, Jiang Feng had never seen him like this before. The last time he had seen Shao Qihai cry, his best friend had retired from the army. Later on, no matter how sad he had been, he had never lost his composure like this.

This was the first time he saw it, so he was shocked. When he found out that Shao Qihai was only crying because Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang were together, he felt even worse.

Mu Jingzhe had harmed Brother Hai greatly. He also regretted it. If he had known, he wouldn’t have persuaded Brother Hai back then. Now that he thought about it, Brother Hai’s feelings for Mu Jingzhe back then hadn’t seemed to be that deep. It was all his nonsense about cherishing her and whatnot that had slowly changed Brother Hai’s mind.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have said anything back then. It was all his fault.

“Brother Hai, stop crying. Even if you don’t have her, there are others…”

“It’s over. It’s over. There’s no one else like Mu Jingzhe in this world. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault for not treating her well enough back then and letting her down. I’ve completely lost her…”

Shao Qihai was overcome with sorrow. He began to cry again and continued drinking. Jiang Feng couldn’t bear to stop him, but Shao Qihai ended up drinking too much and started vomiting. At first, it was fine, but later on, he actually started vomiting blood.

Jiang Feng was frightened and quickly took Shao Qihai to the hospital. In the end, he found out that Shao Qihai had drunk too much and had suffered a gastric hemorrhage. Shao Qihai had drunk alcohol on an empty stomach, which had really hurt his stomach.

It was unknown if it was because his body hurt or because he really felt terrible. When they arrived at the hospital, Shao Qihai was still crying and shouting for Jingzhe as he received treatment. He became quite the spectacle in the emergency room.

It wasn’t easy for him to get a little better. By the time he managed to comfort Shao Qihai to sleep, it was already dawn.

Jiang Feng looked at Shao Qihai on the bed and couldn’t help but look for Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe was woken up early in the morning. When she opened the door, she was bombarded by Jiang Feng’s questioning. “Mu Jingzhe, do you know what Shao Qihai did for you last night?!”

Mu Jingzhe: “I don’t know.”

She didn’t feel good seeing Jiang Feng now. “What do you want to say? Or do you want to hit me again? Let me make things clear up front this time. If you dare hit me, I’ll hit you back twice.”

“Who wants to hit you!” Jiang Feng gritted his teeth. “He’s suffering from gastrointestinal bleeding because you’re with Ji Buwang. Why did you choose Ji Buwang? Other than not being as rich as him, how is Brother Hai inferior to him…”

Jiang Feng wanted to reprimand Mu Jingzhe for being vain, but Mu Jingzhe didn’t give him the chance to finish before she interrupted him. “Because I like him. Isn’t it good to be rich? Being rich is a good thing. Besides, in terms of looks and disposition, Ji Buwang is outstanding. Isn’t it normal for me to like him and choose him?

“Jiang Feng, I know that you and Shao Qihai are chummy, but this isn’t something you can meddle in. Just because you got a divorce and had your heart wounded by love, it doesn’t mean that everyone has to suffer because of you. I hope that today is the last time. If you still refuse to let go, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Jiang Feng’s face turned livid. “How do you intend to be rude?”

“In whatever way you want. I’ll entertain you when it comes to reasoning. I’ve seen too many dogs like you, who catch rats in the name of upholding justice, sticking their noses into other people’s business. I can also entertain you when it comes to martial arts. I’m not seriously ill anymore. If you want to hit me, just say the word. Coincidentally, I still remember the slap you gave me previously.”

As Mu Jingzhe spoke, she flexed her wrist. This was a great opportunity to hit him back.

Jiang Feng hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to have such an attitude. “Brother Hai must be really blind to have taken a fancy to you…”

“It’s precisely because he’s not blind that he took a fancy to me.” Mu Jingzhe couldn’t be bothered to listen. “If there’s nothing else, I’m closing the door. Talking to you is such a waste of time.”

“Mu Jingzhe!” Jiang Feng was furious. He was about to say something nasty when he suddenly saw Shao Dong appear behind Mu Jingzhe.

He frowned at him and interrupted him. “Uncle Jiang Feng, that’s enough.”
