After being born into this world for sixteen years, Ji Lili assumed she had the script for a winner's life. Her mother was a factory director's daughter, and her father, exceptionally capab...
Chapter 73 73 He is clearly plotting your future achievements...
Jiang Lili's words completely broke Chen Guilan's last line of defense. They had been the envy of everyone at the ironworks. Though the eldest son was gone, the second son had become the factory director's son-in-law. Though he couldn't come home often, he often contributed financially and in kind. The third son and his wife were both workers, and Yao Yan had even managed to give birth to Ji Wenwu despite the strict family planning policy. Chen Guilan had always been proud of this, even using Ji Wenwu's story to share her experience with other mothers-in-law at the ironworks. Indeed, she had always felt that Yao Yan's successful birth of Ji Wenwu was entirely her fault.
Until Ye Qiuju's arrival, she had initially welcomed the second son and his wife's divorce. Jiang Jianyi was no longer the factory director, but Jiang Yulan maintained her pride. She had always disliked Jiang Yulan. She had tolerated her father's position, but now that Jiang Jianyi was no longer the director, she naturally refused to tolerate it. It would have been better for Ye Qiuju to divorce; at least she could control him. Most importantly, she was willing to give birth to a son, fulfilling their wish. Who could have known that such a change of heart would lead to the Ji family's current situation? She knew that the people at the ironworks were gossiping about them, saying they had mistaken a fish for a pearl, letting Jiang Yulan and her daughter go and welcoming Ye Qiuju, the troublemaker, into the family. But things have already happened, and it's too late to regret. The only thing she can do is to let them remarry. The third brother's side is still simple, but for the second brother, she can only plan this matter after Ye Qiuju gives birth to the child. But as soon as she saw Jiang Lili, she couldn't help but bring up this matter in advance. She thought that this girl liked the second brother very much before, and she should be happy about this matter. Who knew that this girl would say this about them? It turned out that girls can never be tamed.
Knowing the truth was one thing, but getting her to admit it was absolutely impossible. Chen Guilan snorted coldly, "No wonder your father wanted to divorce your mother. With your tempers, who could stand it? And you even introduced your mother to someone better off? Lili, when did you learn to brag? Who would want a divorced woman with children?" Chen Guilan continued to act stubbornly, but she had already made a plan in mind. No matter who introduced Jiang Yulan to a partner, she would go and break up the relationship. Then she would see who dared to introduce her to someone again.
Jiang Lili chuckled, then slowly said: "No wonder those people in the iron factory said that about you, it's true!" After that, she ignored her, turned around and went to the window to pay the bill, took the receipt and left. Chen Guilan behind her was still thinking about what she had just said. People in the iron factory said about her, what did they say about her? She hurriedly looked up, but could only see Jiang Lili's back. She originally wanted to chase after her, but the receipt in her hand reminded her that she should pay the bill. Forget it, pay the bill first, and then go find Jiang Lili later. She wanted to listen to what those idle and long-mouthed women in the iron factory said about her.
Thinking of Chen Guilan's expression just now, Jiang Lili felt refreshed. The Ji family members were all of the same temperament, they loved to save face and loved to show off their words. Arguing with them was just a waste of time. It was best to let her figure it out on her own. Jiang Qitong's fever had begun to subside after the fever-reducing injection. Now they had to wait for the results of the blood test to see what caused the fever. The little girl, whose fever had begun to subside, was also slowly regaining her spirits. Seeing her coming, she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Sister Lili, you are so slow."
"You're in high spirits now. Who was it that was howling like a ghost just now, scaring Aunt Qiu? By the way, where's Aunt Qiu?" Jiang Lili said as she stretched out her hand to touch her forehead. It wasn't so hot anymore. It seemed that the fever-reducing injection had started to work.
"Anyway, it wasn't me. Aunt Qiu was called away and she asked the nurse here to look after me." Jiang Qitong refused to admit that it was her. She pointed to the nurse station behind her.
Jiang Lili chuckled, then said, "Okay, okay, it's not you. Let's go, it's time to go get our blood drawn. Let me tell you, you're not allowed to cry this time."
"I know. I won't cry. I'm very brave." Jiang Qitong said as she raised her hand to cheer herself up. She was a brave child and she wouldn't cry.
"Yes, our Tongtong is the bravest." Jiang Lili asked her to stretch out her arm for the nurse to draw blood.
This time, Jiang Qitong was very brave and did not cry. She just shed two tears quietly when she pressed the needle hole with a cotton swab. She was afraid of being discovered by Jiang Lili, so she quickly held back the rest of the tears.
"Let's go. The report will be out soon. Let's go to Aunt Qiu's office and sit for a while. By the way, tell her that your fever has subsided." Jiang Lili took her to Qiu Shaoli's office.
When she reached the second floor, she heard Ji Wenwu's voice coming from the ward near the stairs: "Grandma, I'm in so much pain. When will it get better?"
"The pain means your bones are healing. Just bear with it, Wenwu." Chen Guilan had her own explanation. She didn't know when she would be discharged from the hospital.
"It's all that bitch Ji Mingyue's fault. Second uncle is on her side. I'll make her pay when I get better." Ji Wenwu cursed angrily while enduring the pain.
"Okay, this may not be her fault. She has only been here for a short time. Why should others help her?" Chen Guilan also felt that what the second brother said made sense. Ji Mingyue should not know those people.
"Who knows what methods she used? Aren't her mother and her aunt ready-made teachers?" Ji Wenwu said gritting his teeth.
Jiang Lili, standing at the stairs, raised her eyebrows in surprise. Could this matter actually be related to Ji Mingyue? Judging from Ji Wenwu's tone, there must be something going on.
Jiang Qitong had also heard Ji Mingyue's name, so she stood obediently by the side, waiting for her. Fortunately, Jiang Lili didn't linger much, and upon hearing this, she took her hand and continued upstairs. Given Ji Wenwu's vengeful nature, Ji Mingyue's days were likely to be very busy. However, Ji Wenwu was clearly no match for Ji Mingyue. Thinking of this, Jiang Lili couldn't help but raise her lip. It was going to be a good show, and no matter who lost, it wouldn't affect her, so she just had to watch them fight each other.
It seemed like Ji Wenwu had a conscience. He was probably targeting Ji Mingyue to avenge Yao Yan, but that wasn't necessarily the case. He wasn't necessarily seeking revenge out of pity for Yao Yan. It was more likely that with Yao Yan and Ji Lanlan away, he had two fewer people to command, which was why he was unhappy. Jiang Lili was relatively familiar with people like Ji Wenwu, and the latter possibility was probably higher. But none of this mattered to her anymore.
As soon as she arrived at the door of Qiu Shaoli's office, the two sisters bumped into her. Seeing them, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just about to go down to see you. How is Tongtong? Is she still feeling uncomfortable?" As she said that, she reached out to touch Jiang Qitong's forehead, and then reached out to touch her back. Sure enough, her back began to sweat. She hurriedly pulled her into the office, found a clean towel and stuffed it on her back, and then poured her water to drink.
"You're starting to sweat, drink more water." After saying that, he poured another glass of water for Jiang Lili.
Knowing they were still waiting for the test results, Qiu Shaoli pulled some biscuits from her drawer and handed them to the sisters: "Would you like something to eat?" With half an hour left until the end of get off work, she looked up at the two of them and asked with concern: "Does the adult at home know that Tongtong has a fever?"
"I left a note. I guess they will be off work when we go back." She left the note because she didn't know how long she would stay in the hospital, and they would be worried if they didn't see her when they came back.
"That's okay, just wait here for the results, they should be here soon." The results of a routine blood test are usually very quick.
"Well, Aunt Qiu, you go and do your thing. We'll just wait here." Jiang Lili urged her to do her thing and not pay attention to them.
"I don't have anything to do right now." After dealing with the previous matter, there was basically nothing to do.
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, someone knocked politely on the door. Qiu Shaoli was the only one left in the office. It was obvious who this person was looking for. The three of them looked up almost at the same time, and when they saw the person outside, Qiu Shaoli and Jiang Lili's faces changed.
Lin Wenkang didn't expect to meet Jiang Lili here. Before he could speak, Qiu Shaoli took the initiative and asked, "Doctor Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Shao Li, we have been friends for so many years, do we need to be so distant? I came to you today because I want to ask you a favor." Lin Wenkang came to her for a personal matter.
"If Dr. Lin can't handle it, I certainly can't do it either." Qiu Shaoli refused directly.
"You can do it." Lin Wenkang's tone was very firm. While speaking, he did not forget to glance at Jiang Lili. He had been in Yuncheng for some time. He often asked about the news about Jiang Yulan at the cotton mill. What he heard most was those people praising Jiang Lili. He couldn't help but think that if he had insisted on his choice back then, then she would be his and Jiang Yulan's daughter. Such a smart child should be his child.
"Then tell me what's the matter first?" Qiu Shaoli said impatiently. She just wanted to get him out of here quickly.
"My mother is still here. She has agreed to my relationship with Yulan. Can you help me ask Yulan out for a good chat?" In Lin Wenkang's opinion, Jiang Yulan had been refusing to agree to him because she was still holding a grudge about what happened in the past, so he tried hard to persuade his mother to come and see her. This could be regarded as an apology to her for what happened in the past. Once this thorn in Jiang Yulan's heart was removed, she should not refuse him anymore.
For a moment, Qiu Shaoli thought she had misheard, until she saw the indescribable expression on Jiang Lili's face. Then she confirmed that she hadn't heard correctly. She carefully looked at the person in front of her and finally asked sincerely, "Lin Wenkang, are you only living in your own delusional world?"
"I know we were wrong about what happened back then, but my mother is willing to give us this chance now. I hope you can help me convince Yulan. It's too hard for her to be alone, and I don't mind helping her raise the child." As for his daughter, the child did not inherit his intelligence and her academic performance was a mess, so he never liked the child.
"Doctor Lin, I think you have misunderstood one thing. My mother is not having a hard time. She hasn't remarried yet, not because she is waiting for anyone, but simply because she thinks this kind of life is pretty good. After all, she first experienced an ungrateful villain and then a despicable marriage fraud. So why should she put her happiness in the hands of an unreliable man?" Jiang Lili rolled her eyes in her heart after she said this. Pu Xinnan, get out of here.
"Lili, you can't be so selfish. Your mother is still young and she has the right to remarry." Lin Wenkang looked at Jiang Lili with displeasure, his eyes seemed to say that her thoughts were too selfish.
"Of course she has the right to remarry. I will not stop her, I will only support her. But the person she remarries can never be an ungrateful villain like you." Breaking off the engagement eighteen or nineteen years ago was a very serious matter for a girl. Unfortunately, they did not consider Jiang Yulan at all and insisted on breaking off the engagement. How can such people be trusted?
"Lili, I am the elder after all. Is this how your family taught you?" Lin Wenkang felt a little embarrassed to be said like this by a junior.
"I'm sorry, my family always taught me to tell the truth." Jiang Lili said she was sorry, but she didn't look embarrassed at all. She was a little confused. Didn't Jiang Yulan say she had already agreed with him last time? Why did this person suddenly become so active? Jiang Lili frowned, and suddenly remembered that the most valuable thing about Jiang Yulan was her status as a shareholder of Tongqu Player. Could it be that Lin Wenkang knew about this? Otherwise, his current behavior was inexplicable.
Seeing that Jiang Lili was unmoved by any soft or hard words, Lin Wenkang turned his gaze to Qiu Shaoli beside him. "Shaoli, we've been friends for many years. I know what happened back then. You all felt sorry for Yulan and me. Now God has given us the opportunity to reunite. I hope we can continue our relationship. So please help me. Helping me is also helping Yulan. She's having a hard time now. You don't want her to suffer like this forever, do you?"
"Okay, it's still working hours. You should go back quickly and let me think about it." Qiu Shaoli decided to fool him first and let him leave.
"Okay, my mother will move back to Yuncheng after the New Year. I'll wait for your good news." Lin Wenkang got the answer he wanted and prepared to leave.
Qiu Shaoli was a little surprised when she heard this: "What about your daughter? Who will take care of her?"
"She went back to her grandparents' home." Lin Wenkang said indifferently. Over the years, he had used up most of his connections in his father-in-law's family, and they had their own son and were unwilling to continue investing in him, so he did not stop his daughter from going back. Anyway, with this child, the bond between the two families would always exist.
"So that's how it is." Qiu Shaoli couldn't help but lower her eyes after she finished speaking. She had long seen the cruelty of Lin Wenkang and his mother, but she didn't expect that he would even abandon his own daughter now. So he must be plotting something bigger, but what could he gain from Yulan and her daughter? Qiu Shaoli was a little confused. When she turned her head and met Jiang Lili's gaze, she suddenly understood what Lin Wenkang was plotting.
After Lin Wenkang left, Qiu Shaoli slowly sat back in her seat. Yes, this man always puts profit above all else. What else could she not understand?
"Aunt Qiu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her expression suddenly change, Jiang Lili looked at her with some concern.
"It's okay, I just think Lin Wenkang is terrible. He just gave up his daughter, whom he had lived with for more than ten years since she was a child." Although his words meant to send her to her grandmother's house, his meaning was already very clear. For a moment, Qiu Shaoli didn't know who she should pity.
"He is willing to give up his daughter. He must be seeking greater benefits. He probably knows that my mother has shares." Jiang Lili guessed.
Qiu Shaoli just shook her head when she heard this: "How could his ambition be satisfied by just 10% of the shares? He's after you. You can use your talents to secure 10% of the shares for your mother right now. Your future development will be immeasurable. He's clearly after your future achievements!"

The last time Ji Wei saw Gu Chenan was when he was hit by a car while trying to save her.
After waking up, Ji Wei returned to 1993. It was the first time she had taken her daughter on a blind date. Across from her, Gu Chenan was mustering up the courage to look at her: "Teacher Ji, if you could be my mother, my father and I would treat you and your sister well."
"Okay." This time, Ji Wei gave a different answer from her previous life.
At first, Ji Wei agreed to marry just to repay a favor. Later, the cold-looking but warm-hearted man gave her all the money he earned and put her and the children first in everything. She felt that this marriage was not a wrong one.
Later, this man always walked in front of her in a vest and shorts. Looking at his smooth muscle lines, Ji Wei slapped her forehead. How could she forget that they had a license and everything they did was legal?
