When Ji Si came back, he saw the mother and daughter sitting on the sofa in the living room.
The two men had their backs to him and seemed not to notice him coming. They were whispering something.
As he approached, Ji Si's eyes fell on the ice pack that Ji Qianya had placed on her cheek. He frowned and suddenly said, "What's wrong? Why don't you want to leave?"
The two were startled when they heard this and turned their heads to look behind them.
"Third brother!"
"Third brother!"
Ji Si hummed, then saw Ji Qianya's red and swollen face, frowned and asked, "Qianya, what's wrong with your face?"
Ji Qianya put down the ice pack on her face, bit her lips, and said nothing. She looked extremely aggrieved.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ji Si turned his head to look at Ye Lan beside him, "Mom, what happened?"
Ye Lan sighed, "Xiao Shu beat me."
Xiao Shu nodded, "Seventh Brother, let's talk."
After saying that, he waited for Ji Qianya to speak, then he took small steps and left the room.
"Return to your place?" Xiao Shu pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "Seventh Brother, you grew up with Ji Si, and he has always treated you as his own sister. But now, just because we are not related by blood, you have to go to that extent? Does Seventh Brother really think that he has no brotherly feelings for Ji Si at all?"
Xiao Shu coughed heavily upon hearing this, quickly put down her hand, and her eyes fell on the boy behind her, "He..."
Ji Qianya sat on the single sofa diagonally opposite me, her long legs crossed, her face looking quite intense, and she said hurriedly: "Yes, that matter should have been put back in its place long ago."
Ji Yanli watched Xiaoshu's low back as she left, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. Now Xiaoshu is not on your side. It seems that your special care over the days has been in vain.
Xiao Shu's eyes narrowed, "Seventh Brother wants to kick Ji Si out?"
Ji Qianya looked at me and continued, "Jie Zhi, Mom has already cleared the matter. After all, you were the one who raised Ji Si. You put all your efforts into Jie Zhicai and loved him more than the eight of you brothers. It's natural that you can't let go of him now."
......
Jie Zhicai's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned aside, "Step back and talk."
After hesitating for a while, I finally got off the elevator and arrived at the attic on the top floor.
Ye Lan said, "Yeah, Ji Si said he would buy you a new one, but you didn't agree to it. You just apologized and realized you were wrong. You even threatened to beat Ji Si to a pulp, which would be considered severe. Let him see what you are saying!"
Jie Zhicai hummed heavily, sniffed, and his eyes were red. "Seventh Brother said he would send someone to find your biological parents, and said that he would let you go back when they were found..."
"Hardship?" Ji Qianya laughed again, her eyes suddenly warming up. "No matter how much hardship you endure before you go back, it can't be less than what Dashu has endured since she was a child."
Ji Qianya raised her chin slightly. "No one has probably told him yet, Dashu's adoptive father is an alcoholic. He beats and scolds Dashu at the slightest provocation. It's not enough to have money, but even food and clothing are a problem. Dashu, you haven't grown up in that kind of environment, and Ji Yanli has been treated like a princess, living a life of luxury for more than ten years, enjoying the life that was supposed to belong to Dashu. Isn't that enough?"
Jie Zhicai raised his hand that was resting on the armrest of the sofa, "Well, it's gone now. It's just that Jie Zhi is still deceived by you and can't see it clearly."
......
"Go find Brother Seven." Xiao Shu turned around with a sullen face and walked towards the elevator.
I only know that Jie Zhi grew up in the slums, but I don't know that you had to endure such inhuman abuse.
Xiao Shu stood up hurriedly. Her eyes were bright and she knew what he was thinking. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Seventh Brother, you go out first."
Ji Si narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and his voice was slightly cold, "It's just a cake, just eat it, why are you hitting someone?"
"Cake?" Ji Si's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the message Ji Qianya sent him last night, and asked: "Qianya, you were the one who said last night that you thought I bought you a cake, right?"
Jie Zhi knew that no one was standing at the door, but he didn't expect it to be Jie Zhi, so he asked calmly, "Are you okay?"
Xiaoshu walked to the door of Jie Zhi's room and stopped. She raised her hand, put it down, put it down again, and raised it again, as if she was struggling with whether she should knock on the door.
You paused, rubbed your swollen temples, and continued, "And his seventh brother is the same. He completely sides with Dashu and even wants to kick Ji Si out!"
"You can see clearly whether you have been deceived or not." Xiao Shu frowned. "Besides, the family is short of money to support a child. Why do we have to let Ji Si return to his biological parents and suffer with them?"
Jie Zhi was startled, and raised his hand to rest on the front of his neck. For some reason, he didn't dare to look at Qianya, so he simply looked away.
Xiao Shu walked over to the sofa and sat down casually. Without further ado, she asked directly, "Seventh Brother, is he planning to send someone to find Ji Si's biological parents?"
"Yes." Ji Qianya nodded, covering her face. "Third brother, I thought it was a surprise from you, so I ate it..."
Xiao Shu was stunned for a moment, not realizing why Qian Ya was mentioned again. "Da Shu?"
"Li Shu hit her?" Ji Si's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard that. He was quite unbelievable. "Why is she crazy? Why would she hit Qianya for no reason?"
Before Xiaoshu came out of the room, she stood in the corridor for a long time, her head full of what Ji Qianya had just said.
Xiao Shu's expression was quite simple. She knew what to say immediately. "Seventh Brother...you..."
After a few seconds, Jie Zhicai opened the door. I raised my eyebrows, looked at the older woman standing in the door, and said, "You're back."
Ji Qianya pointed and motioned me to sit on the sofa, "What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Besides, even if he lets you go back to your biological parents, does he think you can let him go? Even if he wants to, he will secretly give you money to spend, so why suffer so much?"
"But he should be clear-headed. Dashu is your biological sister. How can he completely doubt you just because of what Ji Yanli said? And then he has no prejudice against Dashu."
Xiaoshu's brows were full of surprise. She obviously thought that I didn't know the inside story yet, and no one had ever told me before.
Xiaoshu nodded and walked out of the room.
Over there, Jie went straight to Ji Qianya's door from the downstairs, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Ye Lan pressed her brows, looking a little tired. "Qianya accidentally ate her cake, and she didn't give in, so she beat Qianya."
Just when I was determined again, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
