Chapter 108 She is the only one I will never let go of.
Ji Jinyu silently drank several glasses of wine, and said angrily, "Grandma hasn't interfered in family affairs for so many years, why would she suddenly arrange such a marriage for me?"
This was what had been puzzling him. As soon as the words left his mouth, he seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at the person opposite him: "It's you?"
Ji Peiheng didn't try to deny it and readily admitted, "Next spring, the company has a project that is closely related to the Huang family."
Ji Jinyu was furious and stood up to question him: "I'm your brother, how could you scheme against me like this?"
Ji Peiheng smiled and said, "So, your younger brother has come to apologize to you today. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine."
Watching him drink three cups without blinking, Ji Jinyu was no use being angry; he couldn't very well beat up the person in front of him.
I was so angry that I drank as much as I drank water.
One glass after another, until the bottle was empty.
Ji Jinyu, slumped over the table with dazed eyes, said, "Drink some more! Come on! Don't stop!"
Ji Peiheng looked at him, who was completely drunk and lost in thought. He recalled many childhood memories. They were brothers, bound by blood, and had been close since childhood.
From a very young age, he liked to follow behind his older brother, and his brother would always protect him.
Compared to Ji Jinyu, he was more mischievous and naughty, and many of the things he did would get him chased and beaten by his parents with a broom.
Several times, Ji Jinyu stood in front of him and admitted to many things that he hadn't done, which caused him to be beaten by his parents.
If he is bullied by other children outside, Ji Jinyu will help him get revenge and will never let him suffer any injustice.
As the eldest son, Ji Jinyu should be the family heir. However, from childhood to adulthood, both the elders and teachers in the family have felt that his talent is more outstanding than Ji Jinyu's. They have expressed their opinions about changing the heir and have also focused on cultivating him.
He had seen Ji Jinyu's dejected side before, so he became even more arrogant and unruly, hoping to disappoint them and make them focus their attention back on Ji Jinyu.
He didn't care about being the heir or taking over the family business; what he cared about was his older brother.
Seeing that Ji Jinyu had to learn a lot of difficult and obscure business and finance knowledge that was not appropriate for his age in addition to his school courses, he would feel smug and think to himself how lucky he was that he didn't have to learn it.
He thought he could just stay behind Ji Jinyu and be a mischievous younger brother forever.
Until Shi Yang barged in, she came to the Ji family, and her clear and beautiful eyes looked at him timidly, yet remained deeply in his heart.
He started to fight and snatch, secretly competing with his brother. He also wanted to be seen by her, not just to see her only coming to his brother.
A burst of fireworks in the sky brought Ji Peiheng back to his senses, and he got up to go back.
As soon as I moved, someone grabbed the hem of my clothes.
Pei Heng.
He lowered his eyes.
Ji Jinyu seemed drunk, talking to himself, yet also speaking his true feelings: "Pei Heng, I regret it. Please give her back to me."
Ji Peiheng looked at the clusters of fireworks blooming in the sky, so beautiful and so bright.
Just like her.
"Brother, I can give you anything, but I will never let go of her!"
...
As the New Year's bells rang, Shi Yang excitedly ran outside to watch the fireworks.
She watched as the servants started the engine, and fireworks immediately burst into the sky.
Every time it's lit, she'll be just like everyone else, covering her ears and hiding far away, her face beaming with excitement.
Ji Peiheng arrived late, seemingly out of nowhere.
Shi Yang complained, "Where did you go?"
"I just sat in the backyard for a while."
Shi Yang sniffed the air, then sniffed him like a puppy: "Have you been drinking?"
Ji Peiheng pulled her into his arms and kissed her cheek hard: "I had a few drinks when I was in the mood."
Shi Yang covered his mouth in disgust: "You smell like alcohol, don't kiss me. Hurry up and set off fireworks with me!"
She excitedly pulled him to the fireworks that hadn't been lit yet, and tremblingly reached out her lighter.
This was her first time experiencing lighting fireworks by herself, and she was very nervous.
Just as the flames were about to engulf the engine, someone suddenly leaned close to her ear and made a "bang".
Shi Yang screamed, threw down the lighter, and ran away.
Upon seeing the servants in the courtyard trying to suppress their laughter and the fireworks that hadn't moved at all, she realized that Ji Peiheng was teasing her. She stomped her feet in anger, jumped onto his back, and pulled his ear, yelling, "Ji Peiheng! You scared me!"
"You've gone too far!"
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Ji Peiheng suppressed a laugh and pulled her from behind to in front of him: "I was wrong, I was wrong. Come on, this time I'll really take you to set off fireworks!"
"If you scare me again, I won't let you off the hook."
The girl in his arms pouted sweetly.
This time, Ji Peiheng held her hand as they lit the fireworks together.
The moment the fireworks burst into the sky, Shi Yang laughed excitedly: "Look, look, it's on fire!"
She looked up at the sky.
Under the dazzling fireworks,
Ji Peiheng looked at her.
In his eyes, her smile was more dazzling than fireworks.
He gently kissed her ear: "Happy New Year, Mrs. Ji."
Shi Yang turned to look at him, her watery eyes shimmering: "Happy New Year, my Mr. Ji."
...
A successful year has passed, and a brand new year is coming.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old house welcomed an uninvited guest.
Shi Yang was woken up by the maid and went downstairs to find that the person who came was actually Shi Xing.
When Shi Xing saw her, his expression was very complicated: "Sister, I need to talk to you."
Shi Yang guessed what was going on: "Come with me for a moment."
Shi Xing followed behind her in his electric wheelchair to the backyard.
"Sis, Dad suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and is still in the hospital. His condition is very dangerous. Could you come with me?"
"Okay, I'll go with you."
She agreed so readily that Shi Xing was a little taken aback.
She repeated herself: "I'll go to the hospital this afternoon."
After seeing Shi Xing off, Shi Yang and Ji Peiheng returned to Xijiuyue.
According to custom, they are supposed to stay in the old house today and wait for relatives to gather and pay New Year's visits.
But right now, there is an even more important matter to resolve.
After returning home, she took out the document she had brought back from Mocheng. She had prepared herself mentally, but when she saw the truth as she had expected, she still smiled.
His smile carried a hint of bitterness and mockery.
Ji Peiheng had been watching her expression closely, and put his arm around her waist: "Don't be sad, I'm here with you."
Shi Yang revealed a mocking smile: "Don't you think I'm pretty mean? I'm really looking forward to seeing their expressions when they find out the truth."
