Mama's Princess Is Daddy's Beloved

On the other side, Jing's mansion on the outskirts of the city was as usual in silence. Though Jing Wei Jin usually held an interesting and playful air around him, it was no lie that still his personality was still dangerous enough to scare people. None dared to raise the possibilities of seeing themselves in danger.

Jing Wei Jin would walk around the house but except for Jing Shaoqing, none held the courage to talk to him unless there were asked to.

"Brother, are you not going to see him? He was looking for you." Seeing his brother all lonely by himself, Shaoqing couldn't help but come to him to inform. His voice held a hesitation as if he wasn't sure if he should have asked what he has already asked him.

Jing Wei Jin turned around to give a look to his brother. A helpless smile over his lips. "Little Qing, are you really my brother? How could you be this stubborn head? Coming to say the same rhyme again and again. Did I not say that I have no obligation to see him at the moment like this?"

"But brother, you are already doing so much for him. Why can't you go and meet him as well? I am sure you can't be that angry at him as you show. I can tell that you still care for him and … " Feeling still a little sympathetic in heart for the old man, Jing Shaoqing couldn't help but persuade his brother on his stance. But his words got halfway silent the moment he saw the gaze of the man turning icy.

Jing Wei Jin's demeanor changed slightly, but it was enough to intimidate his brother.

The young boy cowered immediately. Looking down at the floor, he instantly regretted it. "I … I was …"

"Little Qing, I won't repeat this again. Hear this once and for all, that man has long lost his essence in my sight. Now he means nothing to me. I am not forcing you to do the same but I am making my part very much clear to you. As for still doing little things for him, don't mistake it for my love. That's my obligations."

Jing Wei Jin said, taking a step close to his brother. Though his eyes looked a bit unexpressive always, mixing all the emotion; at the moment, it was clear to show his one intention unwaveringly. "An obligation to pay off for everything he has once done for us. Don't treat it any otherwise. I have money and power. So, I helped you guys to get him back from Feng Shufen and now treating him with best medicines. But that's it. Hope this would be enough clear for you to understand my intentions."

He said, thinking that he has made himself clear enough. Turning back, he was about to resume whatever he was doing, but a sharp yell took him aback.

"Brother, you had enough! Now just stop it." It was Jing Shaoqing.

Wei Jin turned to look at him as he had no idea what suddenly happened, but just a look at his brother was enough to let him understand what it was for. Even though he has not lived with him for years, he knew well when and at what reason the attitude of the young boy changes.

"Brother, you are calling me as a stubborn head. Do you think you are any less? You say that I come to repeat the same rhyme to you. But do you not know how difficult it has become for us to handle Uncle Pan there." Jing Shaoqing's voice became loud. Not in a scary way but in a way that showed well how hard it was getting for him.

Jing Wei Jin might be living in the mansion. But he never went to check the state of the man. As he said, he felt no obligation to do so. He knew that boys were looking at the old man, so he let them do whatever they like with him.

"I know brother, you are angry. But living in the same house don't you think that even for once that man holds the place in our lives where we go and take care of him. You can say that he has used us as his pawns. But you can't deny that he is the person who has also taken care of us when we have no one at our side."

With pain in his expressions, the young boy dumped out all the pent-up feelings and thoughts he was feeling inside. Last time after hearing his brother reveal the things to him, he has thought a lot. But maybe because he was not mature enough to choose, he wasn't able to side up with any one of them.

When thought of everything, he still wasn't able to forget the love and care he received from the old man. That man was still the person whom he has treated as his father, how could he just leave him alone to suffer the pathetic self? Even though his brother was right to show his back to him, still they couldn't just turn all ruthless to him in one night.

Sighing with helplessness, Jing Shaoqing added, "He deserves your rudeness, I understand, but he also deserves your care and you can't deny that as well. Do you know every day before he takes the meds, he would demand to see you first? It's so hard for us to make him take it every time because you just won't visit him."

"Do you think making him suffer like this is right? Isn't he already suffering enough in his state? Do you really require to be this ruthless to him?"

He said and Jing Wei Jin looked at him. For a moment, his thoughts were all muddled. He knew he wasn't wrong in his attitude. But now hearing his brother say all that, he couldn't see him in the wrong as well.

"Q-QinQing, I made it clear enough. I won't go to see him. If asks to see me, tell him straight." Remaining firm on his stance, he didn't give in to his muddled thoughts. Tucking his hands in his pockets, he avoided looking at his brother but made it enough clear for him to understand his decision.

Shaking his head, Shaoqing looked at his elder brother. "Heh! Tell him straight! Do you think that would be easy to do?"

"Why would it be hard to do that?" Wei Jin raised his brows, feigning oblivion.

And seeing his brother getting so adamant, the young man has nothing more to say. Nodding, he decided to give in. "Fine, since you consider this to be easy, then it must be. Why not you try it yourself. Go to him and tell him yourself that you won't be coming to see him ever. Tell him because I won't be telling him."

"QingQing, you …"

"Brother, he would soon be requiring another dose of his regular medicines. So be quick to make things clear to him. I won't want to handle the same demand again and his medical situation won't afford missing his meds schedule. Be mindful of it." He said before walking past him, without giving much concern to the man's expression that seemed lost.

It was tough for him to bring his brother to that spot. But since he shared the same blood as him, the rare possibility worked. Furthermore, he believed that his reasons were not totally wrong, otherwise, in no way, Jing Wei Jin would have kept silent.
