The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 109 Wanting to Change

“Even if I have something on, it’s not as important as attending your parent-teacher conference, Xiao Mo,” Shen Hanxing chuckled. “Xiao Mo is our family’s youngest baby. We have to pay attention to everything while you are growing up.”

Ji Mo raised his head in disbelief. When he saw Shen Hanxing’s smiling face, his ears instantly turned red. What was wrong with this woman? How could she say such mushy words so easily? What baby, what paying attention… a grown man like him didn’t care. Did she think that she was coaxing a child?

Ji Mo endured his burning ears and drank the milk in his glass in a flustered manner. Then, he hurriedly picked up his bag and said, “I’m done eating. I’m going to school now. Goodbye, Sister-in-law. Goodbye, older brothers and older sisters.”

He ran to the door to change his shoes, not daring to look into Shen Hanxing’s smiling eyes again. However, his ears couldn’t help but pick up the voices coming from the dining room.

“Sister-in-law, if Ji Mo is the youngest baby, then what about me?” Ji Qian was the best at acting coquettishly. “Am I your baby too?”

“You are my big baby.” Shen Hanxing pinched her face in amusement.

Ji Ning looked over enviously and longingly. She called out in a low voice, “Sister-in-law…” she wanted to say something but hesitated. She was too embarrassed to act coquettishly like Ji Qian.

“Xiao Ning is my good baby,” Shen Hanxing shook her head helplessly. She glanced at her two younger brothers who were staring at her anxiously and she could not help but laugh. “All of you are my treasured babies, okay? I love you all the most.”

Ji Yan and Ji Mo lowered their eyes at the same time. What an eyesore. There were so many siblings. They should all be thrown out of the house and live on their own.

After the meal, Ji Yang sat on the sofa restlessly. He did not hold his phone and play games for the whole day like before. He sat on the sofa and moved around like a maggot, which was an annoying sight to witness.

“Have you grown a nail on your butt?” Ji Zhou, who was sitting on the sofa at the side in a daze, could not hold it in anymore. He stood up and angrily said, “If you have a nail on your butt, then go to the hospital and have a look. Don’t be an eyesore here!”

“This place is my home and this butt is my own butt. I can move it however I want.” Ji Yang rubbed his small crew cut impatiently and accidentally touched the wound on his head. He grimaced in pain, but he did not forget to say, “What can you do about it?”

Shen Hanxing was communicating online with Han Qi about the charity fund. When she heard their voices, she looked up at them with frustration. “What’s going on? Ji Yang, it’s early in the morning and you’re already not feeling well. What happened?” She raised her chin and gestured at the chair opposite her. “Sit over here and talk.”

Ji Yan, who was reading the documents at the side, also raised his head and looked over calmly with his dark eyes. Being stared at like that by his family, Ji Yang felt even more uncomfortable. He scratched his ears and put his long arms and legs in a rare and obedient position. “I…”

He ummed and ahhed for a long time, but he could not articulate what he wanted to say.

Ji Qian was worried for him. She urged, “Third Brother, what’s the matter? We’re all family, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Ji Ning nodded seriously and placed a cup of honey water in front of Ji Yang. “Third Brother, tell us. Sister-in-law is here.” In Ji Ning’s heart, her sister-in-law was an omnipotent Superwoman who could solve all problems.

Ji Yan looked at him with a faint smile but did not say anything.

“I couldn’t defeat that guy yesterday, right?” Throughout his whole life, Ji Yang rarely felt ashamed. He closed his eyes and continued, “So I want to hone my skills.”

“That’s it?” Ji Zhou, who had been listening attentively for a long time, was suddenly disappointed. “Don’t you wake up early to exercise with our sister-in-law every day? What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“Ji Zhou,” Ji Yan glanced at him indifferently and stopped him from continuing, “Let Ji Yang finish his words.”

“I…I don’t have any big dreams.” It was rare for Ji Yang not to argue with Ji Zhou. He continued his words in a resigned manner, “I also know that I have a bad temper and love to fight. I’m not good at studying, and I don’t have any special skills. In this life, I might just be a rich second-generation kid who only knows how to cause trouble…”

He had long accepted this life, calling his friends to hang out and play around. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. However, for some reason, he suddenly felt that his life was too boring. It was a waste of his life. This kind of life without goals and ideals was not an easy and comfortable life, but a pit of endless emptiness.

He wanted to change, but he awkwardly realized that he was really good at nothing. Seeing Ji Yang’s dejected look, Shen Hanxing raised her hand and patted his shoulder. “Who said that being able to fight is not a virtue?”

“Sister-in-law?” Ji Yang looked at her with hope in his eyes, like a pitiful dog waiting to be praised by its owner.
