Chapter 176: Chapter 176: What if I Couldn’t Save Myself?

The woman’s face turned even paler upon hearing this.

“You, what are you talking about! I’m his real mother, how could I hit him? You shouldn’t be saying such things!”

Considering Ji Ze’s status, she dared not say too much, but her guilty expression betrayed her inner turmoil.

Ji Ze grimaced, “I’m not making things up, I saw everything. Shen Jibai’s arms are full of wounds, including burns, and he frequently falls ill. Despite being so tall, he’s weak and faints easily.”

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to beat Shen Jibai.

Upon hearing Ji Ze mention “faints easily,” Ji Muye furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

The woman clutched Shen Jibai’s arm tightly, fearing someone would discover the secrets hidden beneath his clothes. She kicked Shen Jibai’s shin with the tip of her high heel and lowered her voice to warn him not to speak recklessly.

Shen Jibai lowered his head sorrowfully, his neck bone prominently visible. He sneaked a glance at others who were protected by their parents and then blurted out, “It was Ji Ze who hit first…”

The woman’s lips curled up in satisfaction, only to hear Shen Jibai add, “But it was indeed me who provoked Ji Ze first.”

He looked up at Ji Ze, “So we’re even.”

Ji Ze glanced at him, somewhat speechless.

Such a tall guy couldn’t even win against him, and couldn’t even handle his sister who was less than two years old either. Did his parents not feed him properly, or why was he so weak?

Thinking this, Ji Ze felt a bit of sympathy for Shen Jibai’s plight.

Although his own parents were divorced, they both treated him and his brother well, whereas Shen Jibai’s mom frequently hit him, and his dad was always away.

In comparison, he was already quite fortunate.

Ji Ze looked at Ji Muye, whose broad palm touched his hair, words of reassurance ringing in his ears.

Ji Muye asked, “What would you like to do, Xiao Ze?”

In his heart, although his younger son was playful, he was kind-hearted, and he was willing to protect that kindness.

“Dad, can Uncle Chen and the others check Shen Jibai’s wounds? He looks so pitiful.”

“There was one time, I even saw him cry from the pain.”

Hearing Ji Ze’s words, Shen Jibai’s ears turned red in embarrassment as he hurriedly clarified, “I didn’t cry! You saw wrong!”

Ji Ze nodded, “Yes, yes, you didn’t cry. It was just the cold making snot run out of your eyes, right?”

Shen Jibai was left speechless: “…”

Ji Muye positioned his sons behind him and directed them to sit on a chair, taking charge of the situation himself.

The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw him approaching: “President Ji, about my son…”

Shi’an Group also owned a private hospital.

Ji Muye declared that he would cover all of Shen Jibai’s medical expenses until his injuries completely healed.

But first… Shen Jibai needed to undergo a medical examination.

The woman panicked immediately, stammered, “There’s no need for an examination. Our son has a doctor responsible for his health since he was little. I’ll take him to see the doctor right away.”

“It would be better if President Ji provided some financial compensation instead,” she said, her eyes betraying her greed, hardly looking like a wealthy wife.

While they were talking, Shen Jibai picked up candies from the ground and carefully pocketed them.

When he looked up, he made eye contact with Little Dumpling sitting next to Lu Xining, feeling slightly embarrassed, he turned his face away only to see her smiling at him.

Shen Jibai grew even more envious of Ji Ze.

Not only did he have such wonderful parents, but he also had such a cute sister, unlike him, who had no one in his family who liked him.

Lu Nuonuo noticed the red marks on Shen Jibai’s wrist when he picked up the candies. She glanced at Ji Ze.

So everything big brother said was true?

This big brother’s mom, she seemed like the Wolf Grandma from the cartoons.

She quickly ran up to Shen Jibai and under his surprised gaze, lifted his sleeves, revealing dense red marks and bruises caused by pinching that made her eyes widen in shock.

Shen Jibai just stood there dumbly, letting her pull up both his sleeves, and then Little Dumpling’s eyes widened.

Then they saw…

Lu Nuonuo blew on his wounds, “Big brother, hoo hoo.”

A warm stream flowed slowly in Shen Jibai’s heart, and at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted his angry mother reaching for Lu Nuonuo. He quickly picked her up and ran to Ji Muye’s side.

“Sister!”

Ji Chao and Ji Ze hurried over to check on Little Dumpling.

Lu Xining and Jing Zheng had been watching Lu Nuonuo to make sure she was okay before they approached, but they really had a bad impression of Shen Jibai’s mother!

She stood up and walked up to her, pausing between each word, “Providing financial compensation is naturally no problem.”

Seeing Lu Xining speak, Ji Muye wisely kept his mouth shut.

“All compensation will be given to the child, you won’t get a dime.”

The woman’s eyes became bloodshot with anger.

Just then, they saw Shen Jibai being taken away by the police, intensifying the chaos. She rushed forward, trying to stop them from taking her child.

But the police held her back.

When Shen Jibai took off his jacket, revealing a body covered with whip marks and cigarette burns, the police were shocked.

Grandma Shen came over, supported by the butler.

The police then explained the situation to this kind-eyed old lady, the only one in the Shen family who still seemed to have some humanity.

Yet… Grandma Shen had been living in a temple, praying and chanting for many years, and had not stayed at the Shen Family home for a long time.

“You wicked woman! How dare you treat your own son like this!”

Shen Jibai’s mother’s behavior was now criminal. Knowing the outcome, she had nothing left to lose.

“How dare I? It’s all because of your son forcing me! Not satisfied with just having affairs, now there are dozens of them! He, as a father, doesn’t care, so why should I as a mother? Isn’t the child mine as well?”

“Just because I am the mother, do I deserve to bear all this? I used to love my child so much, but what about Shen Jibai? He’d rather be close to his father’s mistress!”

At this, the woman let out a crazed laugh.

Her gaze shifted to Lu Xining, filled with confusion and less rationality.

“Weren’t you also choosing to divorce because your husband and son were close to Liu Xixi? Why are you forgiving your child now? We carry them for ten months and give them life, don’t they owe it to us to love their own mothers from birth!”

“Tell me, why is that?”

By this point, the woman’s tears were uncontrollably streaming, her eyes full of bewilderment and confusion.

She had been strict with Shen Jibai in the past, but she had done so hoping to make his future easier, but he?

Her own son disliked her for not being as gentle as those women, thinking she didn’t love him.

“Now I’ve just become the mother he claims doesn’t love him in his words. What right does he have to blame me? What right do you have?”

Before I married into your Shen family, I was a well-bred, cheerful girl. It was you who ruined me!”

The woman collapsed into a chair, both crying and laughing, looking extremely unstable.

Her outburst made Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s faces turn pale, and they dared not meet Lu Xining’s eyes.

Because… their past actions were no different from Shen Jibai’s.

Even the well-behaved Ji Chao, when Ji Ze was getting close to Liu Xixi, although he felt it was wrong, had not stopped him.

And Ji Ze?
