Zhu Weidong didn't answer in a hurry, but asked with a smile if he was jealous.
Ji Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, and said seriously, "Zhu Weidong, it's not wise to handle this matter like this. I think you should stop immediately, and then come out to clarify, and don't let such rumors spread."
"Xu Li's help is also helping herself. She had a date before, and the two of them are not suitable for separation, but the man has always disagreed. She wants to take this opportunity to make the other party give up even if her reputation is ruined."
"I would rather ruin my own reputation than give up on the other party. It can be seen that the other party is a very extreme person, right?"
"No, the man is very good, so good that she can't find any other reason or excuse to make the other party give up, so after hearing my idea, she immediately agreed."
"Even so, such a misunderstanding is not good, I disagree." Ji Ling directly expressed her thoughts.
Facing his wife's sudden dominance, Zhu Weidong didn't react for a while, "Xiaoling, we're just playing."
"I'm not worried about what's going on between you and Xu Li. I believe in your character. I just don't like this way, and how others talk about me in private. I don't care. Let's deal with it like this." Ji Ling didn't intend to If I continue talking, I have no intention of compromising, "Can you come back during the Chinese New Year?"
"If I can go back, I have agreed with the higher-ups that I will go home during the Chinese New Year this year. This means that everyone will go home."
"Have you set a date yet?"
"Not yet, I may follow the bureau's car back."
"Okay, let me know in advance before you come back." He told him to take care of himself over there, the routine before hanging up the phone every day, and then Ji Ling hung up the phone.
Ji Ling knew about Zhu Weidong's intentions, but her family didn't know about it, so she only mentioned it at dinner.
The members of Zhu's family thought the same as Ji Ling and did not agree with such an approach.
"Nonsense, the bigger you are, the more you lose your mind. How can you handle things so hastily." Mr. Zhu patted the table.
Father Zhu was also very angry this time, and stood by the old man.
Ji Ling was slightly shocked. She thought it was a trivial matter, but she didn't expect her family to be so angry.
She looked at her mother-in-law for help.
Kong Siya patted her hand, "This matter has nothing to do with you, Wei Dong is really messing around."
Zhu Yaowu and the four were honest this time. They thought that their elder brother made a mistake that men would make, but they didn't expect to play this trick.
It's just that the idea is too naive.
What is solving a problem is creating a problem.
Seeing that Ji Ling was still looking at her, Kong Siya explained to her softly, "Wei Dong had a good intention and wanted to dispel the rumors in private, but he used the issue of style to prove his innocence. What the Zhu family values most is the issue of style. .”
Ji Ling suddenly remembered what her grandma said to her when she first got married, the men in the Zhu family love others the most, and the status of women in the Zhu family is higher than that of men.
"Mom, Weidong doesn't really have a problem with his style."
"You think it's a small matter, but it's a big deal to the Zhu family."
"But I heard Yaowu and the others say that grandpa and father weren't so angry?"
Kong Siya laughed, "That's because the matter has not been asked of him himself. Our family has always been very democratic. No matter what happens, we must give those who make mistakes a chance to explain themselves."
"He listens to you, but Grandpa still needs him to kiss himself to admit his mistakes." Kong Siya is not worried about her son, if his son is wrong, he is wrong.
They give free-range education to their children, but the principle cannot cross the line. This is the bottom line.
Ji Ling was very worried. When she returned to the bedroom after dinner, she called Zhu Weidong in a loyal manner, but there was an accident, and a woman answered the phone.
Ji Ling heard a woman's voice from over there, raised her eyelids and glanced at the alarm clock, it was ten twenty in the evening.
"Are you still busy with Engineer Zhu at this time?" Ji Ling asked directly.
She didn't ask who the other party was, and went straight to the point, which was considered impolite.
There was a noticeable pause on the phone before the voice rang, "Is it my sister-in-law? I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. There was a mistake on the construction site. I will send the design drawings to Mr. Zhu."
"If there are many people on your side who are together now, it is my misunderstanding. I apologize to you. If there are only you and Zhu Weidong, I hope you can avoid suspicion. Such rumors are not good for both of you."
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future. The teacher is back, and I will let him answer the phone now."
Ji Ling heard Xu Li calling Zhu Weidong to answer the phone, her face sank again, and the next moment Zhu Weidong's voice sounded over there.
"Xiao Ling?"
"Zhu Weidong, you don't seem to care about what I told you this afternoon."
"Xiaoling, I'm working now." Zhu Weidong felt wronged, "I also want to take this time to clarify with Xu Li."
"what time is it now?"
"Xiao Ling."
"You're busy."
Ji Ling hung up the phone, and secretly scolded herself for being so kind. Anyway, Zhu Weidong will be scolded when he comes back.
The phone call came back, but Ji Ling didn't answer it, and she didn't insist on it. Ji Ling got angry and then read a book for a while after washing. Feeling sleepy, she turned off the light and went to sleep.
In the next few days, Zhu Weidong called home, but Ji Ling didn't answer, because the work unit was very busy at the end of the year, and Ji Ling rarely worked overtime.
After work this day, when she left the unit, someone called her from behind, Ji Ling stopped, and turned around to see a man she didn't know.
The man is in his thirties, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and looks gentle.
He walked up to Ji Ling and said hello politely, "Hi sister-in-law, I am Xu Li's date, because you misunderstood her and Mrs. Zhu's rumors, she was very worried, so she called me specifically to come over and apologize to you first, and said When she comes back, she will personally come to apologize to you."
The other party's attitude was sincere and serious, and he didn't show any face. He nodded politely, "Everyone knows it was a misunderstanding, and I didn't think much about it. You can tell Xu Li later, so that she doesn't have to take it to heart, and doesn't have to come to apologize."
"Sister-in-law, don't say that. Although Xu Li didn't say it, I knew she wanted me to quit and break up with her. That's why she did it. It's all my fault." After finishing speaking, the man smiled innocently. Scratch your head.
Ji Ling didn't say anything yet, his face was already red.
is indeed a good man.
It's just about the relationship between the two of them, Ji Ling is not familiar with it and it is not easy to intervene.
The man winked, "Sister-in-law, I won't bother you any more. It's getting late, so be careful on the way back. When Xu Li comes back, we'll visit you at home."
Ji Ling said yes, greeted her, then turned and left.
