Seeing this, Ji Qianya took the opportunity to bury her head in Ye Lan's arms and cried out in a choked voice: "Mom..."
Ye Lan touched her hair lovingly, looked around at everyone present, and snorted coldly, "Okay, let's go, right? Qianya and I will move out together!"
Ji Heng frowned, not understanding. "What are you doing? She's an adult, not a child anymore. Why can't she live out on her own? And I also said you can bring one or two servants to take care of her."
He paused and continued, "Besides, Dad has already given me an ultimatum. I must resolve Qianya's matter as soon as possible before he comes back."
"The solution you're talking about is to kick Qianya out?" Ye Lan glanced at Ji Qianya, who was sobbing softly in her arms, and said in a tough tone: "Anyway, wherever Qianya is, I'll be there. I won't let my daughter suffer alone outside."
Ji Jingchen's eyelids twitched, his expression a little complicated. For the first time, he felt that the usually gentle Ye Lan had become so unreasonable. He asked, "Mom, isn't Xiaoshu your daughter anymore? Have you ever shown her any concern since she came back? There has to be a limit to partiality."
Ye Lan paused patting Ji Qianya's back, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Ji Qianya bit her lip, afraid that Ye Lan would be persuaded again, and quickly whispered, "Mom... I don't want to leave your side."
Ye Lan came back to her senses and retorted, "Why didn't I care about her? But do you think she appreciated it?"
Ji Heng pinched his brows, suppressed the irritation in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Calm down first. Let's put Qianya's move out on hold for now. The important thing now is the dinner with the Shen family tomorrow night."
The matter of the real and fake daughter had already made outsiders laugh. If Ye Lan moved out with Ji Qianya, and people in the circle found out, who knows how they would talk about the Ji family behind their backs.
Ji Qianya's eyes flashed slightly, and she curled the corners of her lips imperceptibly. Sure enough, holding on to Ye Lan was the right decision.
She slowly raised her head from Ye Lan's arms and said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Dad."
Ji Heng glanced at her red eyes from crying, and realized that he had been a little inconsiderate. After all, he had raised her as his own daughter for more than ten years, so it was impossible for him not to have any feelings for her.
He stood up and said to everyone present: "Okay, it's so late, everyone should go home."
After saying that, he took the lead and left the living room.
Li Shu was not too surprised by this result. It would be too boring to kick Ji Qianya out of the Ji family so easily. She yawned and stood up slowly. "Brother, second brother, I'll go upstairs first."
Ji Jingchen was slightly stunned. This was the first time Li Shu called him. He came to his senses and curled the corners of his lips, "Go."
Here, Li Shu had just walked to the elevator when Ji Yanli's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Xiao Shu."
Li Shu turned around after hearing this and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong?"
"If you don't want to live at home, you can live outside with your second brother." Ji Yanli said.
Li Shu smiled, her eyes clear and bright, "It's okay, second brother, you don't have to worry about me."
Ji Yanli hummed, knowing that Li Shu would not let herself suffer any loss, and habitually reached out and rubbed her hair, "Okay, go up and rest."
Li Shu nodded obediently, "Okay."
…
In the living room.
Ji Qianya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue and said softly, "Mom, luckily you are still on my side in this family, otherwise I would have really been kicked out by my second brother and the others."
Ye Lan sighed softly and rubbed her back, "Qianya, don't worry, your mother will never let you leave the Ji family."
Ji Qianya took her arm affectionately and said coquettishly: "Mom, you are so good to me."
Ye Lan scratched her nose and said, "Silly child, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
Ji Qianya lowered her eyes, covering the dark light in them, "But my sister is my mother's biological daughter. I am just an outsider after all."
Ye Lan frowned and said seriously: "Qianya, why do you think so? Mom has always treated you as her own daughter. Don't say such nonsense again in the future."
Ji Qianya nodded, "Mom, I understand."
"Okay, go upstairs and get some rest, and don't cry anymore."
"Yeah!" Ji Qianya stood up, greeted Ye Lan, and went upstairs.
Back in the room, Ji Qianya sat down on the sofa, thought for a while, and felt that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death any longer, so she picked up her cell phone and called Ji Si.
Just when the phone was about to hang up automatically, the call was finally connected.
"Hello, Qianya, why are you calling me so late?" A man's unrestrained voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Third brother~Are you busy with training recently?" Ji Qianya asked in a soft voice.
Ji Si rubbed his aching neck, leaned back slightly, and lazily leaned on the gaming chair, his long legs casually draped over the table. He chuckled, "Missed me?"
Ji Qianya's eyes flickered slightly, "Yes, you haven't been home for a long time."
Ji Si smoothed his arrogant silver hair and said, "It's okay. I just finished the competition and I'm not very busy recently. I'll go back in a couple of days."
"Third brother, you still love me." Ji Qianya was delighted, curled the corners of her lips, and complained softly: "Unlike the eldest and second brothers, now their hearts are all on Xiaoshu, and they don't pay much attention to me."
"Who is Sister Xiaoshu?" Ji Si was slightly stunned and asked with some confusion.
"Third brother, have you forgotten that Li Shu...um...is your biological sister..." Ji Qianya's voice suddenly became a little soft, and if you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of grievance in her voice.
Only then did Ji Si remember what had happened in their family some time ago, but he was busy with training at the time, so he only heard his eldest brother Ji Jingchen mention it, but quickly forgot about it.
"Who picked him up?"
Ji Qianya curled her lips in disdain and played with her new manicure. "Sister Xiaoshu has been back for several days."
She paused, her voice suddenly filled with tears, and confided to Ji Si, "Dad has already planned to make me move out of the house. If you don't come back, you may never see me again, Third Brother."
Ji Si frowned when he heard that. "Why did Dad ask you to move out?"
Ji Qianya bit her lip. "It was my second brother who suggested that I leave. He's been getting close to Xiaoshu recently. Well... maybe Xiaoshu doesn't like me, so she doesn't want me to stay at home anymore."
"Actually, it's okay for me to move out, but I really can't bear to leave Mom and you, Third Brother. From childhood to adulthood, as long as I want something, Third Brother, you will satisfy me."
"My eldest brother wouldn't allow me to eat fried snacks outside, so you, third brother, would secretly buy them for me. Every time my second brother bullied me and made me cry, you, third brother, would find ways to make me laugh."
