Ji Ling went to the bathroom to calm down before returning to the private room where they ate.
Wang Sanmei saw her red and swollen lips and opened her mouth in slight surprise.
Ji Ling understood immediately, her face became hot and she lied, "The boss just made a spicy dish. I happened to see it and took a bite. I didn't expect it to be so spicy."
Wang Sanmei didn't believe it, but he didn't expose her. Zheng Shi, because Qian Xiangqian held Ji Ling's hand in the car, kept talking to Qian Xiangqian after getting off the car, and even started to fight for beer after entering the house. So I didn't notice anything strange about Ji Ling.
Mr. Xu was happy, and Zheng Shi was talkative. He drank a lot of wine with the old man, and was finally helped out of the restaurant by Ji Jianhua.
Ji Jianhua threw the person into the car and said angrily, "If you dare to drink again after coming out, I will throw you into the river first."
Ji Ling looked at it and smiled. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that whenever they had dinner together in the past few years, Zheng Shi would drink more than one drink, and he would be carried back every time.
On the way back, Qian Xiangqian drove Zheng Shi's car and sent the two elderly people from the Xu family back first, and then drove another car with Ji Jianhua back to Beixian together.
It was getting late, so Mrs. Xu asked them to stay one night before going back. Ji Jianhua said that her parents had prepared a meal waiting for them, so she told Xu Jiu to let them go.
It takes more than two hours to drive from Beishi to Beixian. Several people were not in a hurry. When they returned to Ji's house in Beixian, it was after five o'clock in the evening, and it was time for dinner.
We had a late lunch, and we ate a lot. Several people didn’t eat much.
Qian Xiangqian and Zheng Shi went back to their grandparents' house after dinner, and then the family sat down and talked.
Ji Ling told her why she was on vacation, and then Ji Jianhua realized that their sister's break was related to them.
He cursed angrily, "Xu Ming did this on purpose."
Wang Sanmei’s face didn’t look good either, “Xiao Ling, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”
“It’s okay, I just want to rest too, and it’s not just because he made trouble in the past, but also because of other people before. Some people have been trying to grab my pigtails because I was a young section chief, so they grabbed hold of me.”
Even though she knew that Xiaoling was not trying to comfort them, which was a fact, Wang Sanmei still felt uncomfortable.
“Has Wang Ermei looked for you again?” Ji Ling asked.
Wang Sanmei shook her head, "My mother came here to look for me, but I didn't respond. With her mother-in-law here, she didn't dare to mess around, so she had to leave."
Ji Ling nodded, "Now they have made trouble wherever they can, and they won't make trouble again if it doesn't work."
Xu Fang said, "Sanmei's mother said when she came last time that if Ermei gets divorced, it will be Sanmei's fault. I'm afraid that the Xu family really doesn't want Wang Ermei, and the Wang family will blame Sanmei for this."
"Let them blame, let them make trouble. I haven't settled the score with them yet, but he still dares to come and make trouble, let's see how I deal with them." Ji Jianhua said sadly, "I used to think that they were Sanmei's parents. Respect them too. If people can't respect them as elders, that's their fault."
Wang Sanmei also said angrily, "No, I'll go back to find them tomorrow. My dad wants to lose face. I'll go over and make a fuss, and they'll calm down."
“Okay, I’ll accompany you back, just in time to talk about Xu Ming.”
Having made an agreement with his wife, Ji Jianhua's expression softened and he said, "Xiaoling, since you are back and on vacation, please stay at home for a longer time."
“Brother, you need to help me find someone to inquire about Chen Jingming. Didn’t he come back with a baby? Find out who his girlfriend is and where she gave birth.”
“When I first met him, he talked about the child in my belly, and I also wanted to find out about him.” Ji Ling said the reason why she paid attention to Chen Jingming. Ji Jianhua nodded.
Ji Ling also asked about Ji Ke.
"It's my and your dad's fault that the child is gone. You are a heartless person who took money from home and left. She can go wherever she likes. Because of her, your dad and I have lost all the people we deserve." Even if I lose it, it’s worthy of her.”
Xu Fang has looked away now. To be honest, she is no longer worried about her little daughter. On the contrary, her husband sometimes shows worry in his expression, and she is the one to persuade him.
It was getting late, Ji Ling had been riding for a few days, and Xu Fang took her daughter to bed early.
In a remote yard in Beixian County, Ji Ke heard the news brought back by his friend, "Are you serious? Ji Ling is back?"
"Well, I heard from my neighbors that I seem to be on vacation for a long time, and I will stay at home for a while." The woman's name is Xiang Yu, and she and Ji were classmates in junior high school. They got married after graduating from junior high school. I got divorced two years ago and I don’t have a job, so I rely on getting some money from men outside.
After Ji Ke's accident, no friend came to look for her. Instead, Mr. Xiang Yu, who had a bad reputation, came to look for her. After Ji Ke came out of home, he lived with Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu came up to her and said, "Are you stupid? Your parents have such a big business and such a huge family fortune. If you run away from home like this, will you still have a share in the future? If it were me, I would catch up I won’t even leave.”
Ji Ke said nothing.
Xiang Yu said, "Okay, okay, if you don't like it, I won't advise you. Think about it yourself."
Ji Ke said, "I'm wondering why Ji Ling came back suddenly? You don't know her job, so she can't always ask for leave, but she always asks for leave for something, which always feels weird."
“You won’t be fired, right?”
Ji Ke was stunned for a moment, "It's really possible."
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "That's great. It's just what you want."
Ji Ke sneered, "She still has money even if she doesn't have a job. She is a partner in my eldest brother's factory. If others don't have a job, they will think that Tiantai has come down. For her, not having a job has no impact, but she feels comfortable. "
Xiang Yu said jealously, "Why is her life so good? You are obviously the biological child of the Ji family? She is an outsider, but your eldest brother and your parents are all biased towards her. I don't know how she coaxed her to come over." "
Ji Ke felt heavy in her heart, which was why she resented her family members. She was obviously the biological child, but everything in the family favored Ji Ling.
"I think the more this happens, the less you can stay outside. That would be a sign of weakness. Now that she's back, that's your home. Why should you hide out? She'll leave if she wants to leave." Xiang Yu said provocatively, " And what if your parents see that she has no job and want to give her the family business? Don’t worry."
Ji Ke was finally persuaded. She just didn't want to see Ji Ling feel happy.
They discussed with Xiang Yu for half the night and decided to go home the next day, so the two of them went to bed early.
Ji Ke suddenly came back the next day, which really caught the family off guard.
Can’t ask: Why are you back?
But just as the eldest daughter came back, the younger daughter who ran away from home came back. It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.
Ji Ke said loudly as soon as he came in, "Is my room untouched?"
She glanced at Ji Ling unkindly.
