"Xiaxia, although our family isn't short of money, we can't just waste it like this. A dress like this would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, and you're just going to throw it away like that?"
Ji Zhixia looked embarrassed. She forced a smile and explained, "You and Minmin don't like it..."
“That doesn’t necessarily mean we have to lose it. Zeyu doesn’t earn money easily. As the most important people to him, we should think about him.” Wu Yan’e lectured him earnestly.
"..." Ji Zhixia paused for a few seconds before explaining, "Mom Mu, I used my own card to buy these things, I didn't let Brother Zeyu pay for them."
“You silly child, you and Zeyu are already engaged. What’s yours is his, and what’s his is yours. You are one.”
Wu Yan'e continued with a stern face, "You two will be living your own lives from now on. Although our family is not short of money, we can't be extravagant. Zeyu doesn't earn money easily."
"That kid doesn't eat or rest properly all day because of work, and he's even lost weight lately! You're his fiancée, you need to understand and care for him, instead of just spending money recklessly all day long, understand?"
Ji Zhixia had never been spoken to like this by Madam Ji at home, and she immediately felt extremely wronged.
What did he mean by saying that to her? Why didn't she understand Brother Zeyu?
But the other party was an elder, her future mother-in-law, so even if Ji Zhixia had thoughts in her heart, she could only suppress them and swallow them down.
She forced a smile and feigned docility, replying, "I understand, Mother Mu. I will definitely take good care of Brother Zeyu and try to understand him more."
"Mom, Minmin, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. My dad's planning to put me in a manager position at the company. He wants me to work there for a few years first, and then I can rightfully take over his job and shares..."
Ji Zhixia's words were somewhat suggestive; she wanted to tell the Mu family that the position of chairperson of the Ji Group and the shares would belong to Ji Zhixia in the future, hence their attitude towards her...
Sure enough, Wu Yan'e's expression improved considerably when the company was mentioned, and a smile appeared on her face.
She quickly echoed, "Your dad is right. Although young girls like us shouldn't be out there struggling, now is the time to endure hardship. You young people shouldn't be enjoying comfort at an age when you should be suffering."
“Mother Mu, you’re right,” Ji Zhixia replied humbly.
Thanks to the company, Wu Yan'e smiled and asked after Ji Zhixia as she left.
As soon as she left the Mu family home, Ji Zhixia's expression changed repeatedly, and she burst into tears as soon as she got into the car.
When she got home, her eyes were swollen from crying.
Mrs. Ji and Aunt Min were chatting and laughing in the living room when Ji Zhixia, with her red and swollen eyes, suddenly returned, startling them both.
"Xiaxia!" Madam Ji stood up immediately, her heart aching when she saw that her daughter's eyes were so swollen she could barely open them.
"Oh my baby, what happened to your eyes?"
She gave Aunt Min a wink, and Aunt Min quickly went into the kitchen.
Ji Zhixia cried her heart out, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mom, Ji Zhinan is going too far!"
Pulling her daughter to sit on the sofa, Ji Zhixia recounted every single grievance she had suffered at the Mu family's house.
Towards the end, she sobbed, her voice trembling with grievance, "I know... the engagement ceremony was ruined... they, they don't like me like they used to. But... it's not my fault..."
