Chapter 12: Saving the Autistic Teen 12

Jin Chen comfortingly patted the boy's shoulder, then coldly glanced at Ji Yu.

"Who are you putting on this brotherly friendly show for today?"

"Jin Chen... what are you saying?" Ji Yu didn't know what Jin Chen wanted to do, feeling a bit flustered.

"You want to move in and still beg for forgiveness for having children? How shameless!"

Jin Chen gave Ji Yu no face at all, his words sharp: "You just had to come up and embarrass yourself."

The entire banquet hall suddenly fell into silence.

Ji Weixue also heard these remarks; his chat with an old friend paused, but he didn't dare scold Jin Chen, feeling stifled, he walked over and reprimanded Ji Yan.

"Today is your little brother's birthday, what are you doing? Have you gone crazy!"

Ji Yu, watched by so many people, felt utterly embarrassed, completely lacking his earlier smugness.

He bit his lip, "Brother... I know you've never liked me, but I really want to get along with you; on your birthday, I even gave you a gift..."

Ji Weixue felt this eldest son was truly hopeless: "Look at how sensible your younger brother is!"

The surrounding guests also whispered among themselves.

Ji Yan almost laughed in anger; he looked at Ji Weixue, hiding the hatred in his eyes.

"... Do you still remember, my birthday?"

Jin Chen frowned, sensing Ji Yan's emotions were a bit off, but didn't stop him.

Being able to speak in front of a large crowd is also a big improvement.

Ji Weixue bewildered: "Why are you asking this? You don't even dare to meet strangers; today is the first time you've appeared at a banquet since you were this old, and you still want me to throw you a birthday party?"

Ji Yu naturally also didn't know Ji Yan's birthday, but it didn't stop him from establishing his persona.

"Yes, brother, don't blame Father; we give you gifts every year."

Ji Yan clenched his fists, tone flat: "... My birthday is, today."

"..."

Ji Weixue momentarily lost his voice, suddenly realizing that when little Yu was born, it was indeed Ji Yan's second-week birthday...

He was rare to be somewhat dazed.

Ji Yu was suddenly refuted by him, feeling his face burning hot; Ji Yan today definitely intentionally made him lose face.

Jin Chen looked unchanged, not at all surprised, he lowered his head and wiped the tears from Ji Yan's eye corner.

"It's not worth shedding tears for them."

Chen Jiang saw the situation was off, immediately came over to smooth things over.

"It's all a misunderstanding, Xiao Yan, don't be upset; yesterday I didn't give you a pair of cufflinks? That was Xiao Yu's birthday gift to you, you forgot?"

He moved close to several people, grabbed Ji Yu's hand: "Don't make a fuss, today we should be happy; soon we'll cut the cake; Aunt Song can't make it back, but she specially recorded a video for you."

Ji Yu's heart was still angry, but he steadied his emotions, forced a smile, still remembering his plan.

"... Brother, today spending my birthday together, emotionally and logically, you should have a drink with me!"

Jin Chen took the wine cup, softly coaxed the boy: "Just take a sip."

Anyway, he had already changed the cup.

Ji Yan, following his hand, lightly took a small sip, the spiciness made him squint his eyes.

Such an expression really resembles a little cat; Jin Chen's eyes held a smile, he slightly leaned in, and said in his ear: "Later Ji Yu will find an excuse, follow him; I will protect you, after we finish watching the show we'll leave."

Ji Yan didn't really understand what Jin Chen meant, but still obediently nodded.

"Happy birthday, brother! Let's go change clothes together to prepare for cutting the cake."

Ji Yu finally laughed from the bottom of his heart, also tilted his head and drank the alcohol in his cup; although the original plan wasn't like this, but as long as he could separate him and Jin Chen, damaging a set of clothes is nothing.

He linked arms with Ji Yan and left, during which he also toasted many elders.

"Let's go change clothes; after we finish cutting the cake later, we'll announce our engagement."

Chen Jiang, in a good mood, kissed Ji Yu's cheek, a feeling of happiness welled up inside.

After so many years of cultivation, Ji Yu finally completely belonged to himself.

"When you were ten, you saved me; now we're engaged, time really flies." Chen Jiang sighed.

Ji Yu's expression changed, he glanced at Ji Yan, complained: "Why keep talking about this? We're going to change clothes."

Ji Yan's expression unchanged, he obediently followed him upstairs.

The second-floor lounge.

This location is relatively secluded and quiet; Ji Yu, at the stairwell corner, sent a message to his former pursuer Bei Tai, saying there was something good to give him.

He knew this person all too well; although Bei Clan has some connection to Didu, Bei Tai is too profit-driven, fundamentally unable to achieve anything big.

That side quickly replied okay, and also went upstairs.

In the room, Ji Yu glanced at Ji Yan, who was preparing to change clothes beside him, tone arrogant: "Jin Chen is being so good to you now, you must be feeling pleased, right?"

Just don't know if later you'll be taken advantage of by others, will he still continue to pamper you?

Ji Yan didn't immediately respond to him, seeing Jin Chen's message on his phone, he replied to Ji Yu as instructed.

"I, changing clothes... you go out."

Ji Yu laughed angrily: "Fine, go out then."

Anyway, later he'll still come in to "catch an affair".

Ji Yu walked out of the room, feeling he might be a bit overexcited, why suddenly so restless and hot.

He fanned with his palm, came to the side of the corridor and blew some air.

But gradually, his consciousness began to blur, the exhaled breath began to feel scorching.

So hot...

At that moment, Bei Tai went upstairs.

His looks were decently handsome, yet his whole body emitted a sense of kidney deficiency, inexplicably giving off a sleazy feeling.

"Little Yu, what good thing are you going to give me?"

Bei Tai, upon seeing Ji Yu, already had a flushed face, leaning on the hallway handrail, panting.

Having known the drinking scene for years, Bei Tai almost instantly understood he had taken something stimulating; recalling the earlier news, he somewhat excitedly licked his lips.

"……Little Yu, have you finally agreed to let me pursue you?"

Ji Yu couldn't clearly hear what Bei Tai was saying; they only felt the hand he placed on their face icy cold, very comfortable, and unconsciously leaned into it.

The two instantly embraced and kissed.

The camera in the hallway corner suddenly turned its angle, directly aiming at the two.

——

Ji Yan peered out of the room doubtfully, then returned to the lobby following the earlier route.

Jin Chen caught the boy running toward him, ruffled his hair as a reward, and said, "Very brave."

"Ji Yan, where's Little Yu?"

Chen Jiang asked doubtfully.

"Changing clothes, he said…… it's rather complicated." Ji Yan continued, following Jin Chen's earlier message.

Chen Jiang also had no doubts.

At 22:40, the big screen lit up, and subtitles appeared: "Blessings from Mother overseas."

Ji Weixue loosened his tie; Song Qian had been away on a business trip for so long, he too had been thinking about her a lot.

But the image that appeared in the video shocked everyone.
