Yao Qian said, “Calm down. Do you want to get beaten up again?”
When he thought about how terrifying Ji Lingchen was, Ye Mubai was terrified. He quickly changed the topic. “Lingchen, describe your wife to us!”
Ji Lingchen recalled everything that had happened between him and Fang Xiaonuan. In the end, he said, “She’s too strange. I can’t describe her.”
At this moment, Wang Yubo, who was supposed to be on the plane still, pushed open the door. When he saw his brothers, tears welled up in his eyes. The first thing he did was lunge toward Ji Lingchen. As he lunged toward him, he said, “Brother, I’m back to accompany you. There are many obedient, sensible, and good-looking women. Don’t be depressed. I’ll find them for you.”
Ji Lingchen looked at the big musclehead that had just pounced on him. He knew that he could not dodge him, so he changed his posture and let Murong, who was closest to him, bear the guy’s weight too.
“Ah!” Before Murong could react, he was attacked by a “cannonball”, so he let out a scream.
Those who did not know were not guilty, so Ji Lingchen did not argue with Wang Yubo. After everything was explained, no one mentioned anything about Ji Lingchen’s wife running away with someone else.
Ye Mubai ordered someone to bring out the wine that he had kept for many years. Now that his brothers were all here, Ji Lingchen could not refuse. It had been a long time since they last saw each other, so they raised their glasses together to commemorate their friendship.
Not long after, Ye Mubai and Wang Yubo began to secretly pour wine into Ji Lingchen’s cup. “It’s been a long time, brother. I didn’t expect you to be married. Come, we’ll drink to your wedding.”
For this reason, Ji Lingchen relented and drank. Back then, he had only gotten married to exchange for information, so he did not tell his brothers. Everyone drank one cup each.
Not long after, Ji Lingchen’s face turned slightly red. Ye Mubai raised his eyebrows at Wang Yubo, indicating that he was almost at his limit.
In the Ji family’s old residence, Fang Xiaonuan had packed up everything and she was now waiting for Ji Lingchen’s return. She waited until it was diner time. Lately, mealtimes had become synonymous with conflict in the Ji family’s home.
Every time it was time for dinner, everyone in the Ji family, from Old Master Ji to the servants, would have butterflies in their stomach.
When it was time to eat, Fang Xiaonuan did not appear at the dining table. She frequently took out her phone to check the time. She was waiting for Ji Lingchen. At the dining table, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji had arrived. Not long after, Old Master Ji arrived as well. Only Fang Xiaonuan was missing.
The butler immediately asked the servants to call Fang Xiaonuan down for dinner.
Fang Xiaonuan heard the knocking on the door and hurriedly got up to open it. She thought that it was time to leave, but when the door opened, she saw that it was not Ji Lingchen. It was the Ji family’s servant.
The servant said, “Second young madam, it’s time to eat. Master is waiting for you in the dining room!”
Fang Xiaonuan looked at the time and asked, “Where’s Ji Lingchen?”
The servant replied, “Second young master hasn’t returned yet.”
Fang Xiaonuan looked in the direction of the door and then at her phone. She was hesitating whether or not to go down.
The servant sent by the butler liked Fang Xiaonuan. She kindly reminded her, “Second young madam, Mayor Ji is here too.���
Fang Xiaonuan understood and nodded. “Alright then! I’ll go down now.” Fang Xiaonuan did not stay for long and soon appeared in the dining hall. As soon as she appeared, the servants became more cautious.
Fang Xiaonuan commended herself for getting this far with the Ji family. If someone else were to marry into the Ji family, they would definitely be very careful and obedient every day. Only she could force everyone in the family to feel ‘fear’.
All of this was thanks to Feng Qi. Fang Xiaonuan had never been the one to start up trouble, but she was not the least bit afraid when it came to arguing.
Fang Xiaonuan glanced at the serious-looking Old Master Ji, then sat down in her seat obediently without saying anything. This was her last night in the Ji family, and she did not want to cause any more trouble.
Perhaps Old Master Ji had been siding with Feng Qi and he had locked her up in a small dark room to make her feel better. Or perhaps Feng Qi knew that Fang Xiaonuan was going to move out with Ji Lingchen, so she did not take the initiative to pick a fight tonight.
“Since everyone is here, let’s eat!” Old Master Ji said. Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and Fang Xiaonuan had only been eating from the two dishes in front of her. Firstly, she was not very hungry, and secondly, she was trying to make herself scarce. She was about to leave the Ji family’s home, and she did not want to be picked on by Feng Qi.
Halfway through the meal, someone came from the front hall. Then, she heard a few unfamiliar voices. “Uncle Ji, are you home?”
