Chapter 5 Bad Dad 5

Before going back, Ji Huaizhi took his daughter to buy a lot of things and gave her pocket money in no time.

Ji Fangqin accepted everything her mother said.

But he still couldn't help saying things he didn't want to hear:

"Is the money you're transferring to me now considered marital property? Will she agree to that? Will you give your new daughter the same amount?"

Ji Huaizhi merely glanced at her: "Do you think I have to be beholden to anyone else when it comes to spending money on you, since I'm the one who earns it?"

"And another thing, I'm not some sucker. I'm getting off the bus." Ji Huaizhi urged her, "Why are you being so awkward about going back to your own home?"

Ji Huaizhi, puzzled, opened the door while carrying his things, and Ji Fangqin behind him took a deep breath.

Yeah, she's going back to her own home, why is she acting so awkward? She's not the one who should be acting awkward, she's not here as a guest.

Looking at her father's back again, she wanted to see if having a stepmother really meant having a stepfather.

See if what he said to me yesterday was just a lie.

"My husband's back?" Wei Wei came out with a big smile when she heard the noise.

Seeing the man come in carrying a tote bag filled her with sweetness, and seeing the logo on it made her smile even more.

But when her gaze met that of the girl behind her husband, her smile faltered, and she immediately stepped forward: "Qinqin is here too, come sit down, don't feel uncomfortable, make yourself at home."

"Weiyi, come out and pour some juice for your sister Qinqin."

Ji Fangqin sneered after hearing this: "What you're saying is really interesting. This has always been my home. What do you mean by treating it like your own home?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think I was a guest!"

Hearing her stepdaughter's words, Wei Wei looked at her husband awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant, it just slipped out."

"I was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable, so I was a little nervous myself."

In Wei Wei's mind, Ji Huaizhi would speak up for her, saying that his stepdaughter was unreasonable, and then the father and son would immediately start arguing. She would then step in to mediate and comfort Ji Huaizhi.

Unexpectedly, Ji Huaizhi simply unbuttoned his sleeve and said, "Why would she feel uncomfortable in her own home?"

"You're making her sound like an outsider."

Ji Fangqin raised her chin: "Maybe in other people's eyes I'm just an outsider bothering your family."

Wei Wei feigned sadness: "That's not what I meant, honey, you've misunderstood me."

"What do you mean, 'father-in-law'? You're acting like you've never seen a man before." Ji Fangqin rolled her eyes.

Do you think it's appropriate to call someone that in front of his daughter?

Ji Huaizhi nodded: "It is a bit inappropriate. Don't call him that in front of the child anymore."

She was genuinely upset by the man's words; she hadn't expected him to care so much about their daughter.

He had sent her to his hometown in the countryside before, and thought she didn't hold much importance in his heart.

Unexpectedly, her arrival caused her to suffer a loss.

Only the one who can win favor will do.

Zhou Weiyi brought out the juice and glanced at the three of them: "Sister, you misunderstood my mother's meaning."

“My mom mentioned you to me today, saying she wants your uncle to bring you back, otherwise it wouldn’t be good.”

Hearing her daughter's words, Wei Wei's eyes flashed with approval, and then she said:

“I will be more careful in front of the child in the future. If Qinqin is unhappy or if Auntie makes you uncomfortable in any way, just say so.”

"She's the only one who's about your age, a few months younger than you. She'll be your little sister from now on."

Wei Wei's understanding smile was an attempt to show the man how sensible she was.

The more sensible a woman is, the more tender she will be to a man.

"From now on, we're family. Your aunt and sister will take good care of you."

Fang Qin: "I don't want to get along with you, let alone be your family. Don't call me Qinqin. Let's just keep to ourselves."

"Besides, I don't have a younger sister." She didn't even glance at Zhou Weiyi.

Since she came in and started speaking, her father has felt much more at ease as he hasn't criticized her.

At least for now, her daughter is more important than the mother and daughter.

She had just recovered from a cold and was very tired, so she didn't want to argue with them.

After saying that, he picked up the bags and his luggage and went straight back to his room.

Wei Wei felt embarrassed when she saw that she had taken all the things away; it turned out that they weren't gifts her husband had bought for her.

It looks like he bought these to coax young girls, considering his generous spending.

Did you also give her a lot of pocket money?

Zhou Weiyi looked at all her things with envy in her eyes. She wished Uncle Ji was her father.

All these things belong to her now.

She secretly went to Ji Fangqin's room; it was very large and beautiful, with a swing on the balcony.

Mom said I should act sensible, otherwise she would have hinted to Uncle Ji that she wanted to stay in that room.

As Ji Fangqin reached the door, she remembered something and turned back into the living room: "By the way, I hate it when people come into my room. From now on, you're not allowed to touch anything in my room."

Wei Wei couldn't keep up the act anymore; her face almost turned green.

But her husband didn't say a word, and she felt a little sad.

"Qinqin's appearance makes me a little sad." She forced a smile. "I really want to get along with her, but it seems like she doesn't like me."

Ji Huaizhi picked up the juice and drank it.

“It’s normal that she doesn’t want to be with you. After all, in her eyes, you are the third party who broke up the family.”

"She was spoiled by me and my ex-wife, so we should just treat each other normally from now on."

Wei Wei could rightfully be unhappy upon hearing this.

"Didn't you explain to her? You were the one who pursued me all along. You didn't handle this well, and she misunderstood that I was the other woman."

Ji Huaizhi raised his eyes, his gaze seeming to say: Aren't you the third party?

Although he didn't say it, Wei Wei's face burned from that gaze.

"What do you mean by this?" She stood up abruptly.

"Why are you throwing a tantrum?" Ji Huaizhi asked, seemingly puzzled.

Wei Wei sat down again: "I just feel that she is your daughter, and we will be a family in the future. We can't go on like this forever. We have to break the ice."

"That's why I say it's best to just get along normally, so as not to backfire."

Wei Wei didn't want to discuss the topic anymore and asked Ji Huaizhi why he came back so late.

"I spent a day with my mom there, and after I came back, I took Qinqin shopping and bought some things."

Wei Wei: "Qinqin is still too young, it's not appropriate to buy those things."

"It's always been like this, there's nothing wrong with it." Ji Huaizhi went to tidy up: "I'm going to the company in a bit, I need to get ready first, can you prepare the clothes I'll be wearing?"

Wei Wei pursed her lips, but she was clearly unhappy.

After showering, I came out wrapped in a bath towel and frowned when I saw the clothes she had chosen: "They're not very suitable."

"Never mind, I'll do it myself."

Wei Wei: "Husband, I'm afraid I'm not doing a good job in this family. I feel a lot of pressure because you're divorcing me."

Ji Huaizhi frowned slightly, as if he was a little annoyed.

Seeing his expression, she stopped talking about it: "Never mind, I'll do my best to manage this household so you won't have any worries."

Seeing his brow relax, he asked again:

"By the way, how's the transfer thing going? I was worried about you yesterday since you didn't come back."
