Chapter 81 Breaking up with Ji's parents

Another thing Yan Yue didn't even want to complain about. As a biological daughter, she never knew how to care for her parents, let alone come back. Even when his master was injured last time, it was his brother who came back first, and Zhou Mengyao never showed up. Not to mention the time they spent together before the New Year, it was like a disaster movie scene.

Therefore, not all parents in the world are good parents, and similarly, not all children are filial children.

Even Zhou You himself didn't understand. They had worked so hard to raise their daughter, and they had done their best to give her the best resources. They didn't ask her to be outstanding, but at least she could distinguish right from wrong and be grateful.

Who would have thought that the person he created would be like this, ungrateful, unable to distinguish right from wrong, and so entangled that he could even scheme against and use his own son, with only Ji Ruikun's love in his mind.

So don’t blame Yan Yue for being rude to them, he really can’t be polite.

Yan Yue didn't want to see him, and Mu Xue didn't want to see him either. In their impression, he didn't look decent.

The two of them stayed in the kitchen. Yan Yue responded to Mu Xue's request and helped her grow fruits and vegetables.

Yan Yue didn't object and was happy to pamper her.

One was promoting the birth, the other was watching, and from time to time, he threw some unknown seeds over, and they were having a lot of fun.

He didn't stop playing the game until Ji Yimu came in, and walked reluctantly to the living room.

Yan Yue didn't know what they talked about, but everyone had a bad expression on their face. He asked Ji Yimu about it, but Ji Yimu just said "it's okay" and didn't say anything.

Even a fool can see that it's not that simple, right? How can it be alright? It's obviously very troublesome.

"Happy New Year, Mom."

Ji Ruikun looked at Mu Xue, his eyes slightly gloomy.

Mu Xue subconsciously hid behind Zhou You. She really didn't like the way her son-in-law looked at her.

"Happy New Year."

The necessary courtesy is still there, just not enough.

"I heard from Mengyao that mom has recovered very well recently."

Ji Ruikun looked Mu Xue up and down, trying to discover something.

"Yeah, it's much better than before. The medicine given by Amu is effective. Now even the blood clots in my brain are starting to dissolve, and my mind is healthier than before."

There were some truths and some lies in Zhou You's words. The reason he said that was to pave the way for Mu Xue's complete recovery in the future.

If you say it will be done in a moment, it will surely arouse other people's suspicion, which will cause unnecessary trouble and be very stressful.

"Does Mom remember what happened before?"

Ji Ruikun did not doubt Zhou You's words. Mu Xue was getting better. He clearly felt that she was a completely different person from before.

So he should be worried now?

Ji Ruikun was worried. He wanted to know the answer, but he was afraid that the result he would get would be something he didn't want to hear.

Yan Yue stared at Ji Ruikun in confusion. Don't blame him for being suspicious. It was strange for him to ask this question at this time. Wouldn't normal people congratulate first? Whether it was sincere or false, instead of specifically asking whether his memory had recovered, it felt like he was trying to cover up something.

Not only Yan Yue, Ji Yimu and Zhou You also found it very abrupt.

Ji Ruikun felt that someone was looking at him, and he felt something was wrong, so he quickly tried to make up for it.

"I just thought that if Mom could remember what happened before, she could find the person who hurt her."

After saying this, he saw the expressions on Zhou You and Ji Yimu's faces and knew that he was right.

The only way is to divert their attention away from you instead of keeping it on you.

However, Ji Ruikun was plotting against Zhou You and Ji Yimu, but he forgot that Yan Yue, who had only a vague understanding of the past, was paying close attention to his every move. So Yan Yue saw clearly the look of relief on Ji Ruikun's face.

So Yan Yue's mind began to race like crazy, with conspiracy theories popping up one after another.

"I don't know how well my mother has recovered now."

Ji Ruikun approached Mu Xue tentatively, wanting to observe her from a closer distance. It would be even better if they could communicate directly.

Mu Xue was frightened by Ji Ruikun's face that suddenly approached her. Her pupils dilated as if she had seen something horrible.

"Mom, do you remember how you got hurt?"

Ji Ruikun tested step by step, and Mu Xue's expression changed rapidly.

"Alright," Zhou You almost yelled at Ji Ruikun. He didn't want Mu Xue to feel bad. "If she can't remember, then don't remember. Don't provoke her anymore."

Nothing is more important than Mu Xue.

"Dad, are you really concerned about whether my mother-in-law can remember the past?"

Ji Yimu stared at Ji Ruikun. This man seemed to be forcing his grandmother to recall, but it was more like he was telling them that if Mu Xue was forced to recall, she would definitely feel uncomfortable, and by then she would not be able to hold on, let alone remembering anything.

"No, I just want to know who hurt your grandma?"

Ji Ruikun didn't dare to underestimate his son and had to admit that Ji Yimu was excellent in both ability and scheming, and he was not as good as him.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so overwhelmed when facing Ji Yimu now.

Ji Ruikun had a bolder guess. That was that Ji Yimu had been hiding his strength before, but now it all burst out at once, catching him off guard.

Ji Ruikun thought that he had completely controlled Ji Yimu with his identity as the successor of the Ji family and Zhou Mengyao, but these two confrontations made him realize that Ji Yimu no longer cared about these two things, and his attempt to control Ji Yimu became impossible.

"It was you. You hit me with the vase."

Mu Xue pointed at Ji Ruikun with shaking hands, repeating that it was Ji Ruikun who hit her with the vase.

"Mom, please don't talk nonsense. Why would I do such a thing?"

Ji Ruikun was worried that his excitement would prompt Mu Xue to remember the past, but he didn't expect that his fear would come true.

"Ji Ruikun, is that you?"

Zhou Youcha really yelled this time.

"Dad, believe me, Mom's memory must be confused now, and there is no reason for me to do that."

If it weren't for the fact that these two old guys still had value to be used, and if Ji Yimu didn't value them more, Ji Ruikun wouldn't have worried about the matter being exposed at all.

He used to think he could control Ji Yimu, but now not only can he not control her, he also feels a little scared.

"I remember everything. I saw it all. It was you who put the evidence in the cabinet in the study. I saw it all."

Mu Xue was very angry, not because she was hurt, but because these people hurt Zhou You.

"I remember it all."

The fire of anger was directed at Ji Ruikun, wishing to devour him.

"What else do you have to say?"

Zhou You used to dislike Ji Ruikun. If it weren't for Ji Yimu's sake, he would have left the Ji family without even trying to save face.

Now I can't wait to catch him.

At this moment, Ji Ruikun knew that he had no chance to defend himself in front of these people, and they would not believe him no matter how much he said.

"Dad, how could you just listen to Mom's one-sided words and treat Ruikun like this?"

Zhou Mengyao jumped out to protect Ji Ruikun.

"hehe,"

This is the good daughter he gave birth to, but he had already given up hope, hadn't he? So now she wouldn't be hurt if she was backstabbed again.

"Amu, do you also think grandma is talking nonsense?"

Zhou You looked at Ji Yimu,

Ji Yimu pulled Yan Yue to stand beside Zhou You without saying anything, but Zhou You understood what he meant.

"Ji Yimu, what do you mean? You are your father, don't you believe it?"

Zhou Mengyao was irritated by Ji Yimu's behavior and yelled at him angrily.

In Zhou Mengyao's eyes, Ji Yimu's behavior was betrayal.

"So? Grandma is also your mother."

Ji Yimu no longer has any other feelings towards Zhou Mengyao except disappointment.

I feel sorry for the Zhou couple. How could they have such a daughter?

"She's not normal, are you not normal too? How can you believe what she says?"

With a loud slap, a loud slap landed on Zhou Mengyao's face.

Zhou You pointed at Zhou Mengyao and said, "You are no longer our daughter. We in the Zhou family do not welcome you. Please leave."

Zhou You, who had never hit Zhou Mengyao since childhood, was heartbroken when he hit her for the first time.

Zhou Mengyao was stunned by the sudden slap.

I had just recovered from the shock of being beaten by Zhou You when I heard this news and couldn't believe it.

"Dad, what did you say?"

"I am not your father, and you are not my daughter. From now on, we will be strangers."

This time Zhou You was determined to give up on his daughter; there was no hope for her.

"And Ji Ruikun, although we don't have evidence and can't bring you to justice, from now on, our feud is sealed."

I had no expectations towards Ji Ruikun in the first place, he was just Ji Yimu's father, and now I feel no burden to give him up.

Ji Ruikun saw that there was no need to hide, so he simply stopped hiding, "What do you think your Zhou family's chances of winning against the Ji family are with their current strength?"

"If you don't try, how do you know you can't win?"

Ji Yimu stood in front of Zhou You, protecting the three people behind him firmly under his wings.

"Ji Yimu, don't forget your last name is Ji."

Ji Ruikun was feeling depressed at the moment as he faced this unruly son.

"I don't have to use the last name Ji."

As if he cared that much.

"You don't want the position of heir to the Ji family anymore?"

Ji Ruikun threatened.

"The same goes for those who inherited the Zhou family."

"you……"

Qi stagnation.

Ji Ruikun glanced at Zhou Mengyao beside him.

"You are my son, how dare you disobey me?"

Yan Yue looked at the unreasonable Zhou Mengyao and couldn't help but sneer. It was really a case of good bamboo bringing forth evil stems.

"Didn't I learn this from you?"

Ji Yimu had already seen clearly the person in front of him.

"You're going to piss me off to death, aren't you?"

"Okay, you still don't want to leave during New Year's Day. Do you want me to kick you out before you leave?"

Zhou You no longer wanted to see their faces, so he half-hugged Mu Xue, who had already calmed down, and shouted to drive them away.

Zhou Mengyao wanted to say something but was pulled away by Ji Ruikun.

But when they reached the door, Ji Ruikun did not forget to turn around and asked, "Ji Yimu, if you come with me now, I will regard what you said before as your youth and ignorance. You are still the eldest son of my Ji family, and the Ji family will still be yours in the future."

Ji Ruikun does not want to give up on this son. After all, he is the successor chosen by his father and the one who can lead the Ji family to a further step.

“I’m an adult.”

Standing steadily and firmly, without any intention of wavering.

At this moment Ji Ruikun realized that his son would not come back and was determined to leave them.

At this moment, he realized that he seemed to have done something wrong today and ruined his grandfather's business.

I felt even more regretful.

I clearly came here to improve the relationship, but who would have thought that it would end up being severed? If I had known, I would not have come here.

Ji Ruikun took Zhou Mengyao away and was no longer the same as when they first came.

…

“Grandpa…”

"I'm fine. I've already been hurt. Now I've just gotten rid of the little bit of reluctance that was left. From now on, Zhou Mengyao is no longer my daughter."

"Master, you still have us."

"Yes, I still have you. Why do those unimportant people make me sad?"

Zhou You looked at the two people in front of him and felt very relieved. If God wanted to exchange Zhou Mengyao for these two people, he would be willing to do so.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about the Ji family taking action. I won't let anything happen to the Zhou family."

Ji Yimu didn't want Zhou You to worry about those things. Since he wanted to provoke the Zhou family, he would definitely think of a perfect way.

"Well, I'm not worried. Grandpa believes in you. Besides, even if the Zhou family has fallen, it's not so easy to be bullied."

Zhou You was not worried about this. At worst, he would fight to the death and tear a piece of skin off the opponent.

What's more, now we have Ji Yimu, who has positive values ​​and is capable. Zhou You is very relieved. This is probably the biggest gain for Zhou Mengyao's parents.

"Grandpa, I still don't quite understand what the Ji family had framed me for," Ji Yimu thought about what Ji Ruikun had done and still had many doubts. "As usual, the Ji family is mainly engaged in medicine, and marrying into the Zhou family will definitely take it to the next level. Whether it's project research and development, the network of relationships alone is already enviable, not to mention the higher-level connections, so I really can't understand what good it would do to the Ji family to bring down the Zhou family. It would do more harm than good."

It can be seen from the development of the Ji family in recent years that it would definitely be different without the help of the Zhou family.

He could see it, so how could Ji Ruikun and even the old patriarch of the Ji family not have thought of it.

Don't say that Ji Ruikun's framing was a personal act. Ji Yimu didn't believe that there was no order from his grandfather. When the incident happened, his grandfather showed fairness and did nothing.

The fact that he did nothing and just watched the fire from the other side of the river is enough to show that there is something wrong with him.

"So why did my grandpa do that?"

Ji Yimu had never thought about it before, but now that he thinks about it, it’s terrifying.

In the past, Ji Yimu only felt that the Ji family was indifferent, but today, he felt that they were not only indifferent but also terrifying.

"When the Zhou family was in trouble before, the Ji family did not help. I always thought that they were just trying to protect themselves, which is understandable."

Zhou You himself was also thinking about not dragging down the Ji family and getting rid of them, so he acquiesced in his heart.

Even though he still felt disappointed at the time, he also understood that given the situation at the time, it was not wrong for the other party to do so. Any normal person would make that choice, and he did not blame anyone.
