Chapter 1198: Chapter 1198: I’m Getting Married
That day, Luo Qiao received a call from Ji Lin: “Qiaoqiao, I’m getting married.”
Luo Qiao was somewhat surprised: “When did you start dating someone? You didn’t mention it when you came back to the country, and now just over a month since I’ve been abroad, you’re getting married?”
Ji Lin hummed and hawed: “It’s… it’s that Ji Wei.”
“What, you guys this…….”
Suddenly thinking of something, after all, it had just entered the 90s, it must be influenced by the last restaurant incident, Luo Qiao felt somewhat guilty; if she hadn’t left early because of her own matters, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
“I know what you’re trying to say, but actually, Ji Wei is a pretty good guy, responsible, and his family’s situation is not bad either, I think this is probably fate.”
“So you’re saying you’ve fallen for him?”
“It’s not about liking, after all, we’ve only known each other for a little over a month, and the first two encounters were accidents. It was afterwards that his family approached us, saying that since something happened, even though Ji Wei was also a victim, he is willing to take responsibility for me.
You don’t know, initially there was nothing, but Zhai Yuyuan was so vicious that whenever people talk about her, me and Ji Wei, these two unlucky ones, also get brought up.”
“I’m not familiar with that Ji Wei, but since you’ve decided, all I can do is offer my blessings. Tell me, what gift would you like? That I can offer, as a way to make it up to you.”
“Oh yes, I received the bag you sent back before. I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously. I got lectured by my mom who even asked me to send you the money, saying the item was too valuable.”
“Alright, don’t listen to your aunt. In that case, consider the bag as my wedding gift to you.”
“Ha ha, I think that’s great, you really are a true friend.”
“When’s the wedding?”
“In seven days, it’s quite rushed, mainly because his family is quite busy, and right now most of them are in Capital City. My mom thinks Ji Wei is a decent person, so here I am, lined up like a lamb to the slaughter.”
“Come on, I don’t know what kind of person Ji Wei is, but from your tone, you’re certainly not repulsed, and there might even be a bit of fondness there.
Am I right?
Otherwise, with your fiery temper, agreeing would be out of the question.”
“Ha ha ha ha, you truly can’t escape your discerning eye, after spending time together I actually find he meets my standards in all aspects, plus it’s a good match. At my age, my mom is afraid I’ll end up an old maid, might as well just go with it.”
“I believe that to get such high praise from you, and to have passed your aunt’s scrutiny, Ji Wei must be a man of good character. With the time so tight, I won’t be able to come back, so my friend, from thousands of miles away, I send you my most sincere blessings. Be happy.”
“Thank you, Qiaoqiao.”
The two chatted for a while about work, and then Ji Lin mentioned: “Qiaoqiao, the Zhai family is really quite something. They actually went to the Gu family, asking Old Master Gu to help get Zhai Yuyuan out.
I heard from Ji Wei that your grandfather gave them a piece of his mind and chased them out. The Zhai family really have thick skins; their granddaughter does such a wicked thing, and they still want to fish her out.”
“Has there been a verdict in Zhai Yuyuan’s case?”
“The day after tomorrow they’re going to court, from what they’re saying, she’s probably looking at three to five years.”
“People with such malicious intent, they get what they deserve.”
“You’re right. The restaurant’s owner is also pushing the Zhai family for compensation. The Zhai family doesn’t want to deal with it, after all, Zhai Yuyuan is a married daughter, and their own relatives got so angry they even sued them.
Anyway, the Zhai family is probably not going to bounce back from this. By the way, Zhai Yufeng has been sentenced to three years and is about to be transferred to prison, such a promising future wasted.”
“Self-inflicted, can’t live with it.”
“After you get married, are you going to move down south with Ji Wei?”
“No, Ji Wei’s job has been transferred to Capital City, he’s already handling the paperwork these days.”
“Well, that’s good, saves you from leaving your family, leaving the place you know.”
“Mmm, it was his initiative.”
“There, you’re moved, huh, looks like you’ve fallen and don’t even know it. But he really does seem like a good person.”
After a few more words, they ended the call. Luo Qiao thought to herself that the Zhai family must hate Zhai Yuyuan to death by now, she literally single-handedly destroyed the whole Zhai family.
It seems, children must be taught well from a young age, you can spoil them with food and drink, but characters and morals must not be indulged.
Otherwise, it’s not raising children, but raising enemies.
She quietly entered her daughters’ room, pulled up the blanket over their little bellies, and after giving each of her adorable daughters a kiss on the forehead, she left the room.
Returning to her own room and seeing her three sons sleeping peacefully, her heart filled with tenderness, she thought to herself that her children must never become people with distorted values and poor character.
