Chapter 351: Chapter 351: If she dies saving you, then Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing will have no mother.

After dinner was finished and everything was tidied up, Zhou Lin asked Cheng Zhiwei if she was planning to spend the night there.

Cheng Zhiwei hesitated, for the sake of Zhou Ruoki, she naturally should stay overnight, but Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing were still there, so she had to ask the children for their opinions.

Cheng Xing clung to Cheng Zhiwei’s fingers and asked in a soft and gentle voice, "Mommy, Qiqi is our little brother, isn’t he?"

Cheng Yang scratched his head, not quite understanding, "Was he also living in mommy’s belly?"

Cheng Zhiwei hugged the two children tightly, "Yes, it was mommy who lost him initially."

"Then he’s just like Xingxing, my real little brother?" Cheng Yang got a new little brother, and he was very happy, dancing around, expressing that he would protect him just like he protects Cheng Xing.

With her lips pursed, Cheng Xing smiled shyly, "Then I’m an older sister."

They readily accepted the addition of a new little brother.

Cheng Zhiwei’s feelings were complicated, as for gaining a family member like Zhou Ruoki, they were all very willing to accept him.

Now it was Zhou Ruoki who was unwilling to accept them.

"So, shall we spend the night here today to keep our little brother company?" Cheng Zhiwei consulted with them.

Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing glanced at each other and said together, "We could take him home with us."

They could go back to the Cheng Family, and live together from now on.

Cheng Zhiwei wished for it too, but she knew Zhou Ruoki would definitely be unwilling, so she said with a sense of helplessness, "Qiqi is not willing to forgive mommy right now... We’ll stay here tonight and I’ll take you to kindergarten tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

"I can."

Both children accepted the idea.

They hoped Zhou Ruoki would soon become part of their family.

From a distance, Zhou Lin watched, and seeing the children’s agreement, his mood brightened considerably.

He thought, finally, their family of five was together.

He instructed the servants to tidy up the two children’s rooms again, and then he carried Zhou Ruoki into the study.

Zhou Lin almost forced Zhou Ruoki to sit in front of him, his voice deep and forceful, "Zhou Ruoki, you’re already three years old, you have to understand that some things aren’t for you to be willful about."

Zhou Ruoki blinked his eyes, and tears fell down.

He clutched his fingers tightly.

"Aunt Cheng is actually your mother. You were stolen away when you were born, and she has been looking for you ever since," Zhou Lin tried to keep it simple, "Aunt Cheng didn’t want to let you go previously because she knew you were her child, she wanted to keep you."

Zhou Ruoki stared blankly at the floor, obviously not absorbing much of what Zhou Lin said.

"Zhou Ruoki." Zhou Lin frowned.

"I know, daddy, you want to marry Aunt Cheng." Zhou Ruoki attributed Zhou Lin’s explanation to him wanting to marry Cheng Zhiwei, finding it a made-up reason.

He couldn’t stop it, but he wouldn’t accept Cheng Zhiwei as his mother.

"I’m not saying this because I want to get married, but because she really is your mother." Zhou Lin couldn’t yell at the child, but his explanation seemed somewhat feeble.

After all, Seo Zhenzhen had died in front of Zhou Ruoki, and such a shock was indeed too great.

"Daddy, I want to go see grandma." Tears still marked Zhou Ruoki’s pale little face.

"Qiqi." Zhou Lin couldn’t adopt a harsher attitude toward him.

This child, they owed him.

"If you leave like this, mommy will be sad," Zhou Lin continued.

Zhou Ruoki stopped talking again.

Zhou Lin could only agree, because Zhou Ruoki had already shown signs of not wanting to see anyone; even without being a doctor, he knew that wasn’t a good sign.

"I’ll take you to see grandma," Zhou Lin touched his hair, "but you have to promise not to hide away again."

"Hmm."

Zhou Lin touched his hair, letting him return to his room.

He sought out Cheng Zhiwei and conveyed Zhou Ruoki’s intentions. Cheng Zhiwei turned her head, and tears fell again, "No, it’ll be enough if I leave here."

She knew Zhou Ruoki wanted to leave because he didn’t want to see her.

She could leave.

"Zhiwei."

"I know, you don’t need to worry about me." Cheng Zhiwei called Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing to leave.

Cheng Yang touched his nose, "Aren’t you taking your little brother with you?"

Cheng Zhiwei looked dispirited and shook her head, "We’ll go first."

She didn’t want to force the child to accept her.

She thought she might have been too hasty.

Zhou Lin then arranged for a driver to take them away, "I am here, he will gradually recover."

"Okay." Cheng Zhiwei gripped his clothes tightly, then got into the car and left.

Zhou Lin stood for a long while, then entered the living room.

Zhou Ruoki stood up and after a moment of silence, said softly, "Dad, let’s go."

Zhou Lin looked deeply at him and personally took him to the hospital.

Zhou Chenyuan’s illness was serious, and the hospital had arranged an entire floor for him.

On the day at the Cheng family’s place, Lin Yu had left early, so she didn’t know what had happened.

Zhou Lin recounted everything in detail.

Lin Yu was extremely shocked, "Is Qiqi that child?"

"Yes, the paternity test has come back, and he is that child."

"And Zhiwei?"

"Qiqi refuses to accept her."

Lin Yu sighed and couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful, "If she hadn’t been so willful back then, why would Qiqi have come to recognize Seo Zhenzhen as his mother?"

In a child’s eyes, no matter how bad Seo Zhenzhen was, she was still his mom, not just some stranger.

Seo Zhenzhen died in front of him; of course, he couldn’t accept it.

Lin Yu felt even more sympathy for Zhou Ruoki.

"No one wanted this to happen, least of all Zhiwei. After finding out about the child, she lost a lot of weight." Zhou Lin squinted his eyes as he looked at Zhou Ruoki, "If it hadn’t been for her pushing Qiqi out of the way at that time, Qiqi would have died with Seo Zhenzhen."

Zhou Ruoki’s eyelids trembled, as though he was recalling the incident from that time.

Lin Yu knew her words had displeased Zhou Lin; she said them just because she felt uncomfortable for a moment. Of course, it wasn’t Cheng Zhiwei’s fault.

Who would’ve thought Zhou Lin seemed like a madman at the time.

"Is she alright?"

"A close shave with a car, nearly killed, covered in scrapes and abrasions." Zhou Lin said, his tone slightly cold.

He didn’t care how much psychological stress the child could bear. He rubbed Zhou Ruoki’s head with a stern voice, "You have half a month. If you still can’t understand by then, you’ll stay with your grandmother from now on."

He didn’t need a son who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, especially one who was so malign towards Cheng Zhiwei.

Zhou Ruoki bit his lip and lowered his head without speaking.

"Don’t forget, she is also the mother of Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing. If she had died trying to save you, then Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing would have no mother." Zhou Lin decided to play the villain to the end.

"You blame her for not letting you go; why don’t you think about it, if you had listened to her and not left with Seo Zhenzhen, wrestling on the roadside, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened."

Zhou Ruoki suddenly cried out.

Lin Yu quickly held him and glared at Zhou Lin, "Stop it, he’s only three years old."

"I had more sense than him when I was three."

"What’s the use? When you grew up, you still became confused." Lin Yu said irritably.
