Chapter 82 - Internal Conflicts
Chapter 82 - Internal Conflicts
The hostess was obviously here to cause trouble.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly froze, and the Ji family's father and two sons also stopped eating. Ji Yuechi and Ji Xingzhe didn't dare to speak, after all, they had no position to speak at the moment. Ji Zhenwei's face turned pale and he looked like he was about to explode. Only Duan Yunhong silently looked at the situation for a while and decided to continue eating.
There was no way, he didn't have dinner with Ning Fei in order to watch the show. If someone turns the table over, there will be nothing to eat. Just thinking about how Ning Fei would tease him when he got back, "You can't even have dinner even though you're so rich," Duan Yunhong decided to eat at his own pace.
Watch a play by the way.
Madam Ji was still walking down the stairs step by step, her heels tapping on the wooden floor. With every thump, Ji Xingzhe felt his heart beat faster. It was clearly a warm, familiar home, but at this moment he felt a chill down his spine, and the feeling that a storm was about to come became more and more obvious.
Ji Zhenwei was also getting more and more annoyed by the sound of the heels, and finally couldn't help but speak first: "What are you talking about? The children are here, and it's New Year's Day again, stop talking nonsense and embarrassing yourself!"
In fact, he was not really afraid that his wife would mention the matter of ladybug being caught, but he was questioned in such a rude manner as soon as he came back, and in front of his children and younger brother, which was embarrassing for him.
"I'm talking nonsense?" Madam Ji walked down the stairs and sneered, "How dare you say that you didn't get detained for buying chicken in Shencheng? If you didn't have some money to ask a lawyer to bail you out, you would have spent the New Year in the detention center, right? Who is embarrassed? If this gets out, people will laugh at you!"
Ji Zhenwei became more and more excited as she spoke, and the more details she gave, he couldn't help but look at Ji Yuechi with a sullen face: "Why are you telling her this?"
Ji Yuechi had already been working hard but received no thanks, and now he was being wrongly accused, which made him angry. He is also an adult, and he is not that afraid of his biological father. It can even be said that he is in the invisible resistance period. He immediately retorted coldly: "I didn't say that. Find out the situation before you teach him a lesson!"
Ji Zhenwei glared at Duan Yunhong.
Duan Yunhong glanced at Madam Ji who was still holding something in her hand, and her face remained calm and relaxed: "Sister-in-law kept asking questions and said she wanted to find a detective to investigate you. I can't do anything about it."
This was pure fuel for the flames. Ji Zhenwei couldn't hold back his temper and turned to his wife, "You want to investigate me?!"
"What's wrong with investigating you? You shouldn't be investigated?" Madam Ji said coldly, "Even if I don't investigate you, there are plenty of police who will! If you are detained in South City someday, no one will be allowed to rescue you. I will let you spend enough time in prison and lose face!"
"That's enough, stop being unreasonable!" Ji Zhenwei shouted, "Stop being crazy here, which man doesn't do business like this? Do you think your father and your brother have never done it? You are from a wealthy family, how come you are so ignorant! You don't even know how to play along, but you have to make a big deal out of it. Which hostess is as petty as you!"
"Ji Zhenwei, do you think I didn't notice it before? I didn't bother with you at that time, so don't think too highly of yourself!" Madam Ji was so angry that she laughed. She walked to Ji Zhenwei and threw the thing in her hand onto the table with force. A stack of papers hit Ji Zhenwei with a bang.
There were several photos, which slid onto the plate, the edge of the bowl, and even onto Ji Zhenwei's body. The juice from the vegetables also splashed onto Ji Zhenwei's suit cuffs. For a moment, Ji Zhenwei was more shocked than angry.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" Ji Zhenwei shouted, "What the hell is this?!"
"What is it? You'll know after you see it." Madam Ji sneered and picked up one of the pictures. She pressed it hard with her index finger a few times. "You recognize this face, don't you?"
Ji Zhenwei didn't even need to look at it carefully. He took the photo and glanced at it, and immediately realized what she was talking about: "Who is this...?!"
"Good question." Madam Ji said coldly, "I also want to ask you, who is this? Huh?"
"How should I know?" Ji Zhenwei threw the photo back on the table. "If you saw a stranger who looked like you on the street, would you directly ask who they were?"
Ji Yuechi couldn't help but tilt his head to take a look at the photos, and then he was also surprised: "Whose photos are these?"
Good question.
This is a good question that instantly divided the people present into three groups.
Duan Yunhong and Ji Xingzhe, you know the real answer without looking at the photos; Ji Zhenwei and his wife are the core figures at the center of the incident, but now one is completely misunderstood and the other is confused; and Ji Yuechi is the outermost person in this incident, and the whole incident has basically nothing to do with him.
Of course, the one who was really panicked was Ji Xingzhe. He had no idea what was going on, so he could only shut up and wait for things to develop. He didn't even dare to look up at Duan Yunhong for a few more seconds, for fear that Duan Yunhong would suddenly pop up and say, "Actually, I also have something to tell you about the child."
However, Duan Yunhong was still watching the show, and by the way, he sent a text message to Ning Fei with one hand under the table "live broadcast": [His wife came to throw out photos, and it seems that she wants to say that he has an illegitimate child. 】
Ning Fei had been “watching the fun online” and replied quickly: [Only photos taken at school? The chain of evidence is too weak. What can Ji Zhenwei do if he insists it's not her? 】
Duan Yunhong: [I don’t know, let’s wait and see. 】
Ning Fei: [What’s Ji Xingzhe’s reaction? 】
Before Duan Yunhong returned, Ji Zhenwei said, "Ah Hong, you go back first. Xiaozhe and Yuechi, go back to your rooms."
"Why are you leaving? They are all family members, so let's listen together!" Madam Ji immediately stopped her, "You are such a forgetful person. I told you before that Xiaozhe's classmate Lin Shengjia looks a lot like you. This is Lin Shengjia."
"It's him. Then what do you want to say?" Ji Zhenwei said coldly, "You don't want to say that this is my illegitimate child? Tang Huilan, I just had a small accident, and you want to make a fuss about it? Does your family know? Does the Tang family not want to cooperate with the Ji family anymore?"
"Even if this Lin Shengjia has nothing to do with you, you are in trouble. You are so self-righteous, right? You use this to threaten me, so what reason are you going to use to cancel the cooperation with my family? Do you want to publicize your "great achievements" to the whole world?" Tang Huilan was warned by her husband, but she did not back down. "To tell you the truth, I have asked someone to investigate Lin Shengjia. Now I know that he is not his parents' biological son, he is adopted. As long as we keep investigating, we can always find out his true origins. If you are not guilty, don't stop me from investigating.
"Also, write your will now. From now on, your inheritance can only be given to Yuechi and Xiaozhe. No one else is allowed to touch it. Don't even think about taking a penny!"
"Have you had enough of being unreasonable? Going crazy here like a shrew!" Ji Zhenwei felt it was ridiculous to hear that she had started to arrange her own funeral. "If you want to go crazy and investigate someone, just go crazy on your own and don't drag others into it. You want to investigate any random person you don't know and say that I have an illegitimate child. Then I will also say that you cheated on me, do you admit it?"
"If you dare to say such nonsense about me, then I dare to do a paternity test. Do you dare?" Tang Huilan stared at Ji Zhenwei, "Do you dare to do a paternity test with this Lin Shengjia?"
Ji Zhenwei finally couldn't help but stand up: "Psycho!"
Tang Huilan's eyes widened: "How dare you hit someone?!"
“…You are really sick! Get treatment as soon as possible!” Ji Zhenwei turned around and walked out. Tang Huilan stared at his back and shouted angrily, "Where do you want to run to? Come back here!"
Ji Zhenwei didn't say anything else, and walked out of the house without looking back.
Bang! ! !
The sound of the door closing was deafening, and after the noise passed, the room fell into an eerie silence.
A few seconds later, Ji Yuechi couldn't help but speak to his mother: "Mom, this is just a random classmate, why did you do this? We are preparing for the New Year, why did you have to quarrel with Dad to this extent?"
Tang Huilan was not in a good mood towards her eldest son. She raised her chin and glared at him, "When the father was caught, the son had to rescue him. Did you learn this trick when you went to Shencheng?" She glanced at the other two people, "If I hadn't asked, none of you would have said a word. You are all members of the Ji family, and I, Tang, can't afford to offend you. It's not me who went out to catch the ladybug, but it's become my shame."
After saying that, Tang Huilan also turned and left. But she was going upstairs to her room, and the sound of her heels kept tapping until the door closed.
Ji Yuechi was very stunned. He couldn't understand why things turned out like this tonight. He turned to look at Ji Xingzhe: "What happened at home? Why is she like this?"
Ji Xingzhe couldn't answer casually, so he could only whisper: "I don't know..."
Ji Yuechi frowned: "You have been staying at home with her since your foot was injured, don't you know?"
"I really don't know. Mom didn't tell me or ask me about Lin Shengjia. I even just found out that he was adopted." Ji Xingzhe lowered his head. "I have to exercise my legs every day and take extra classes. I really didn't pay attention. I'm sorry, brother."
Seeing him like this, Ji Yuechi was about to feel guilty when Duan Yunhong suddenly said, "Didn't your father tell you that the Tang family wants more shares of Shencheng Company?"
"...What?" Ji Yuechi's attention was diverted. "Did my grandpa say that?"
"Yes. But your father and I both disagree, so we have put the matter on hold for the time being." Duan Yunhong was actually making a fuss out of nothing and deliberately misleading. But as he spoke, his hands under the table were playing with his phone with ease, and his tone was extremely natural: "Your mother is making trouble at this time, maybe she wants to use this incident to force the Ji family to give up some of their shares."
"It's actually like this..." Ji Yuechi believed it, but her brows were still furrowed. "But even if it's like this, why do you have to get angry at this time? The New Year is almost here. If you keep going on like this, our family will lose face!"
His speaking style is exactly the same as Ji Zhenwei's. Duan Yunhong relied on his uncle status and asked directly: "Then what are you going to do?"
"What else can we do? Xiaozhe and I can only persuade both sides. No matter what, let's celebrate the New Year first. Our family is always busy during the New Year. If there is no movement this year, not only our family, but also the Ji family's company and stocks will be in trouble." Ji Zhenwei was very upset after tossing around in Shenzhen City and South City, and his tone was inevitably impatient. "I guess my mother thinks that the three of us are in the same group. Xiaozhe will go and persuade Mom, and my uncle and I will persuade Dad."
Whatever Ji Xingzhe feared came true. The last thing he wanted to face was Lin Shengjia's life experience.
"Well, I'm afraid Mom won't listen to me in this situation..." Ji Xingzhe looked embarrassed, "How about we talk to Grandpa and ask him to persuade Mom?"
"You're still telling grandpa? Don't you think it's not confusing enough? Mom loves you the most and listens to you the most, so it's most appropriate for you to go..."
Duan Yunhong was too lazy to listen to Ji Yuechi's long speech. Anyway, the show was over and the meal was finished, so he decided to retreat.
When he stood up, Ji Yuechi and Ji Xingzhe were stunned for a moment. When he reminded them that he would not be there on New Year's Eve or the first day of the New Year, and they would have to deal with the unknown chaos on their own, the brothers became even more confused.
Duan Yunhong ignored their nonsense and turned to leave. As he walked out, he warned Ning Fei: "I'm going back now." 】
Ning Fei quickly replied: [The submarine is waiting for you! 】
