Chapter 1515 Refusal of Guarantee

For a moment, the atmosphere was very quiet. Ji Lili was a little confused: "Am I not telling the truth?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. Can you find any other girl like you?" Thinking of Ye Qiuju's gentleness and Ji Mingyue's understanding today, he felt more and more that he had been too indulgent towards Ji Lili over the years.

"Ji Yushu, what's wrong with you today?" This time, Jiang Yulan spoke first without waiting for Ji Lili to speak.

Glancing at Jiang Yulan's calm expression, Ji Yushu subconsciously explained, "No, Yulan, why did you misunderstand me? I'm her father, how could I possibly harm her? I'm doing this for her own good, right?"

"That's not what you said when others praised her before." Jiang Yulan said coldly.

"That's different. Forget it. If you think it's okay, then it's okay." Ji Yushu looked compromising.

"Second Uncle, what are you talking about?" Ji Mingyue came out of the kitchen and looked at the three people with curiosity.

"It's okay, it's very late. I told everyone to go to bed early." Ji Yushu said as he stood up and went back to the bedroom first.

Jiang Yulan glanced down at Ji Lili and said softly, "Don't take what your father just said to heart."

"I know." Ji Lili nodded. As expected, once a person's heart is biased, even her breathing will be wrong.

"You have to go to school tomorrow, go to bed early." Jiang Yulan patted her shoulder. When she entered the room, she glanced at the person lying on the bed and asked, "What's wrong with you recently?"

"What's going on?" Ji Yushu pretended to be stupid with him.

"I have noticed that ever since Mingyue came to our house, you have started to find fault with Lili. People who don't know the truth may think that Ji Mingyue is your daughter. If this continues, you should send her to your parents." In Jiang Yulan's eyes, Ji Lili is the most important. If Ji Mingyue's arrival affects Ji Lili's original life, then I'm sorry, she should go back to where she came from.

"I'm not finding fault. I just think we're spoiling Lili too much. She's already a sixteen-year-old girl." He remembered that Ye Qiuju started earning work points when she was in her teens, and Mingyue started working at a young age.

"She's only sixteen, still very young." Jiang Yulan retorted.

"How can she be young? Twenty years ago, she would have been married." Ji Yushu snorted coldly after saying this. If she had been born a year earlier, they could have had a second child.

"You also said that was twenty years ago." Jiang Yulan said coldly.

Sensing Jiang Yulan's anger, Ji Yushu hurriedly said, "Look at you, I'm also considering our daughter's future. If you don't like it, I can't stop talking about it in the future."

"You'd better do what you say." Jiang Yulan was thinking about the conversation between him and Ji Lili last night. As expected, the two of them had never really resolved the issue regarding their son, so he began to belittle Lili again.

"Look at you, it's just a small matter, why do you take it so seriously? I talked to the supplier in Guangzhou today, and went to the business office to inquire about the loan. What do you think about asking Dad to be our guarantor?" Ji Yushu began to change the subject.

"My dad has retired, so he probably can't be a guarantor." Jiang Yulan took a step back calmly, so he cooked tonight specifically for this matter?

"I've consulted specifically, and there's no problem." Ji Yushu signaled her not to worry.

"I'll ask Dad what he thinks then." Jiang Yulan's mind grew calmer as she said this. She realized that in just a few days, she felt like she didn't recognize the person she had slept with for over a decade. She knew about his harmless little schemes, but she always thought he did it for this family, for Lili. But now she felt uncertain.

"Dad loves you so much, how could he not agree?" Seeing this, Ji Yushu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought she was unwilling.

"That's not necessarily true. It involves guarantees, and they may not agree to it." Jiang Yulan shook her head.

"What does this have to do with patriotism?" Ji Yushu was a little puzzled.

"How can it not matter? Aiguo is dad's only son. He will rely on Aiguo for his retirement in the future. That's what you said. Have you forgotten?" Jiang Yulan reminded.

"Yeah, then shall we go to Aiguo tomorrow?" Ji Yushu asked quickly after a moment of embarrassment.

"Okay." Jiang Yulan nodded. She just wanted to ask Aiguo if he had found out anything.

"It's getting late, go to bed early." Ji Yushu was satisfied after getting a satisfactory answer.

"Yeah." Jiang Yulan didn't say anything. She lifted her quilt and lay down. Ji Yushu beside her didn't have the slightest sleepiness in his eyes. Thinking of what happened at noon, he felt guilty at first, but then he changed his mind and thought that he and Ye Qiuju were husband and wife. In fact, Jiang Yulan was the one who came later. Why should he feel guilty?

That night, Jiang Yulan had a rare sleepless night. She had chosen to go on a blind date with Ji Yushu to appease her parents. Because of the broken engagement, her mother's already poor health had worsened. She knew her parents' concerns, so she went on the blind date obediently. At that time, Ji Yushu was handsome and had just returned to the city from the countryside. He did not mind her being broken off. His family was very warm to her, and her father was also satisfied. She thought, then he should be the one. Sure enough, her mother passed away not long after her marriage. She did not regret her choice at the time, at least her mother did not leave with regrets. Over the years, Ji Yushu had behaved as a decent father, but since Ji Mingyue came home, he began to find fault with Li Li. For a while, Jiang Yulan regretted her previous decision.

The next morning, Ji Lili woke up and saw Jiang Yulan sitting in the living room. She was a little surprised: "Mom, why did you get up so early today?"

"Just get up when you wake up. Do you want to have breakfast before going to school today?" she asked casually.

"I don't feel like eating right now." Ji Lili shook her head. She had no appetite after just getting up.

"Okay, then go to the cafeteria by yourself when you come back later." Jiang Yulan said and gave her the breakfast money.

"Did you guys quarrel again last night?" Ji Lili asked.

"No, we're going to grandpa's house for dinner tonight." Jiang Yulan rubbed her hair. No matter what others thought, in her eyes, her Lili was the best.

"What does Dad want to ask Grandpa for this time?" Loan or borrow money? Ji Lili guessed in her heart.

Jiang Yulan reached out and tapped her nose: "Don't let your father hear this."

"He can do it but he doesn't let people say it?" Ji Lili had wanted to complain about this for a long time.

Jiang Yulan chuckled and then urged her to pack up and go to school. At this time, there was movement in Ji Mingyue's room. She pushed the door open and saw the mother and daughter standing together. Her eyes flashed, and then she greeted them, "Second Aunt, Lili, you're here early."

"It's okay. Go wash up and go to school." Jiang Yulan spoke to her gently.

"I'll go right away." Ji Mingyue nodded.

When the three of them left, Ji Yushu was still sleeping soundly. Jiang Yulan took a look at him and quickly looked away.

"Lili, do you think my uncle and aunt had a fight because of me?" Ji Mingyue suddenly asked on the way to school.

"How could that be? You're overthinking it." Ji Lili glanced at Ji Mingyue. She thought too highly of herself. In fact, the conflict between the two of them had never disappeared.

"That's good." Ji Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but snorted in her heart. She wanted to see how stubborn she could be.

On this day, Ji Mingyue was still with Wu Juyue, and from time to time she cast a provocative look towards Ji Lili. Unfortunately, Ji Lili ignored her, which made her feel like punching cotton.

Perhaps because of memories from a past life, Ji Lili always felt that her peers were a bit childish, so she generally kept to herself. Many people wanted to make friends with her, but only Wu Juyue persisted. At the beginning of school, Wu Juyue chattered in her ear every day. She went from being uncomfortable at first to getting used to her presence. But just as she got used to her presence, the person she chattered to changed. It would be a lie to say she didn't feel lost. But as an adult, she quickly adjusted herself.

Ke Sisi was a sensitive girl. She glanced at the two people talking over there, then looked at Ji Lili who was concentrating on doing her homework, and quietly handed her a peanut candy with a note on it that read: My mom said that eating something sweet would make you happier.

Ji Lili couldn't help but curl her lips when she saw the peanut candy wrapped in the paper. Her deskmate was so sweet. She turned around and smiled brightly at her: "Thank you."

Ke Sisi quickly waved her hand: "You're welcome."

This peanut candy completely alleviated the slight sense of loss in Ji Lili's heart. She told herself that every stage of life is about saying goodbye and making new friends, so this time she would just consider it as saying goodbye to Wu Juyue in advance.

After school in the afternoon, Ji Lili returned to the family compound and took Ji Mingyue directly to her uncle's house. Ji Mingyue was a little confused: "We're not going back?"

"Let's go to my uncle's house for dinner tonight." Ji Lili said in a light tone.

"Is that so?" Ji Mingyue said nothing more. She remembered Ye Qiuju telling her that Jiang Yulan only let Ji Yushu marry her because her father was a factory director. In her opinion, this choice was not wrong. After all, people tend to flow to lower places, and people tend to climb to higher places. If it were her or even Ye Qiuju, they would definitely make the same choice.

When they arrived at Jiang's house, Jiang Yulan and Ji Yushu were sitting in the living room chatting with the old man. Tongtong saw her coming and looked very happy: "Sister, you are finally here. The Smurfs have already started."

Jiang Qitong only realized Ji Mingyue's presence after she finished speaking. She nodded at her and said, "Hello, sister. Do you want to watch TV with us?"

"Okay." Ji Mingyue smiled and went to watch TV with them, but her eyes kept looking at the decoration of the room, secretly guessing the Jiang family's financial situation. She thought, it seems that Ji Yushu can't divorce so quickly, and he still needs to rely on the Jiang family's influence to do business.

Ji Yushu, who had been chatting happily with the old man, suddenly changed his expression when he heard that he refused to guarantee him. His tone was even more questioning: "Dad, why?"
