Chapter 390 - Who The Hell Are You?
Liwei and Xie Ming accompanied Grandfather Jin for four hours. At that time, Mother Jin also arrived and they casually chatted with each other.
The atmosphere in the hospital room was rather harmonious. Grandfather Jin was feeling much better not only because of medicines and herbs but because he was happy.
" Xie Ming, Liwei. You guys should go now."
Xie Ming, didn't you say that you need to go for a photoshoot tomorrow? You should go and rest. Don't waste your time here."
Mother Jin asked Xie Ming to go back. She was happy that they came to see Grandfather Jin but since she knows that she has started working as well, so she doesn't want to waste much of her time.
She should take a good rest so that her skin will also look flawless in the camera.
" It's okay mother. It's just a photo shoot. I don't need to go early because of it." She tried to reason with her but Mother Jin insisted and in the end, Xie Ming and Liwei left the hospital room to go home.
Xie Ming was reluctant to go back but Liwei assured her that Grandfather is fine and there is no need for so many people to stay back.
….
They took the elevator to go downstairs because the VIP rooms were on the third floor.
When the elevator stopped on the second floor, Xie Ming's attention shifted to the pair of father and son who just boarded the elevator.
This was the same boy whom she was doubting to be autistic. She needs to check his pulse and eyes to see if her diagnosis was right or not.
Though it is difficult to diagnose correctly if a child is autistic or not if it's an initial stage, because some children develop slower than others.
But she can figure out if she gets to check on this child. She is not the daughter of great Zhao Bai for nothing.
There were other people in the elevator as well.
Her hands were itching to speak but if she said something at this moment out of sudden, people would think that she is crazy.
" Stand straight. Can't you behave properly in the public? I don't know what kind of sin I have committed that I got you as my son." The man commented while he shook his head.
Xie Ming frowned when she heard his words. ' How can a father talk about his son like this?'
She wanted to say something but paused when she saw the boy's expressions.
He was quivering and his hands were curled up in fear. He was looking down with his hands stuck by his side because his father shrugged his hand away.
He looked pitiful.
Xie Ming's gaze melted when she saw him looking so vulnerable. The other people in life were feeling bad for the child but nobody interfered.
Before Xie Ming could say anything, the elevator's door opened and everyone got off.
" Let's go" Liwei reminded Xie Ming to move when he saw her frozen on the spot. She didn't get off the elevator, instead, she looked at the boy in a daze.
She was startled when Liwei suddenly reminded her. She looked at the duo of son and father.
' I can't let this boy go like this just because I am afraid that people make fun of me. I can't let him go..' A part of her was yelling at her to stop that man.
She was afraid that if she let go of this child today, then something worse could happen if his father kept treating him like this.
" Wait a minute."
Liwei turned around when he heard Xie Ming shouting from behind. He saw her looking at somewhere else as she started walking fast.
He spotted the pair of son and father where she was walking to.
He remembered that Xie Ming told him that she met a boy and his father doesn't treat him well.
But he thought that it's not a good idea if they interfered like this. Because not everyone would appreciate this gesture. People will call her nosy because they might like her way.
The boy stopped when he heard Xie Ming's words. No one else stopped but he did.
" What are you doing? Why did you stop?" The man yelled at the little boy as he shook his hand fiercely.
He should be gentle towards children but his actions were not gentle at all.
The boy struggled because of the man's tight grip as tears welled up in his eyes. He didn't say anything but struggled to get out of his grip.
" What are you doing?" Xie Ming grasped the man's hand which was tightly holding the boy's arm and shrugged it.
She saw that there was a red mark on the boy's arm because of the tight grasp.
' How can he hold a little boy with such strength?'
Especially when the child was struggling so much and was on the verge of crying?
She felt that some people lacked humanity. They can't even treat their children properly.
Just because you gave birth to them, it doesn't mean that you can treat them the way you want.
Xie Ming bends down in front of the boy and wipes his tears which rolled from his eyes with her hands and said, " Don't cry, my baby. Does it pain? Hmm? It hurts?" She rubbed his arm which had turned red.
She felt a pang of pain seeing the tears rolling from the boy's eyes. She has a soft spot for children, so she couldn't see him crying.
" Who the hell are you? What's your problem?"
The man tried to grab Xie Ming's arm to shrug her off but Liwei held her man's wrist and said, " Don't touch her."
The man was stunned to see when Liwei suddenly came and held his wrist. He was planning to separate this girl from his son and his actions would not be gentle at all.
But before he could touch her, Liwei stopped her.
The man was shocked because Liwei's cold and fiery aura made him a little afraid of him. He enunciated each word carefully which made him even more dangerous.
…
Liwei was surprised when Xie Ming suddenly walked toward the little boy. He couldn't understand what was going on in her head but he knows that she knows what she was doing.
He was walking towards her when his gaze darkened when he saw that the man was planning to shrug Xie Ming off.
He walked there on time and held his wrist before it could touch Xie Ming.
' How can he let anyone hurt Xie Ming in front of him?'
