Madam Ji laughed out loud without giving them any face at all.
"Dad, you're really joking. The good life we have now is all thanks to Pengfei's hard work over the years. What does that brat Ji Zhinan have to do with it?"
She spoke with a tone full of pride, and her back was straight.
Marrying Ji Pengfei was the best decision she ever made in her life.
Seeing Madam Ji's blindly confident appearance, Old Master Ji's face turned ashen: "If it weren't for the money Nan Nan's mother gave him, no matter how awesome Ji Pengfei is, he wouldn't be able to make it to the city, let alone start a company!"
From the moment Ji Zhinan was brought home as a tiny baby, the most frequent thing Old Master Ji said to Ji Pengfei and his wife was, "Xiaxia and Nannan are both your children, and you must treat them equally." He didn't say much else, nor did he ever mention whose child Ji Zhinan was.
For a time, Ji Pengfei and his wife even suspected that Ji Zhinan was a child born out of wedlock to their grandfather and another woman, and that they had brought him back to be their adoptive parents.
However, they later conducted DNA tests on Ji Zhinan and the old man's samples, and found that the two were not related by blood.
This was the first time that Old Master Ji had mentioned Ji Zhinan's mother.
Madam Ji knew that after divorcing his mother-in-law, Mr. Ji went out to make his own way in the world as a bachelor. She heard that he later became a housekeeper for a wealthy man, but she didn't know exactly what he did; he just made money.
So when Grandpa Ji took Ji Zhinan back to his hometown, they weren't surprised that he gave Ji Pengfei such a large sum of money to start his business. They assumed it was money Grandpa Ji had earned over the years working as a housekeeper for wealthy people.
Unexpectedly, it was given by Ji Zhinan's mother...
Madam Ji was intrigued and was about to press Ji Zhinan about his background, but the old man seemed impatient and unwilling to say more.
He lay down with his back to Madam Ji and her daughter, and waved his hand dismissively.
“If you think coming to the hospital to see my old man is a waste of your time, then don’t come anymore. My old man doesn’t care if you come to see him.”
"dad……"
"Get out of here."
"..."
"go out!"
Hearing the old man's reprimand, Madam Ji was naturally not going to be stupid enough to stand there and wait to be scolded by him again. She grabbed Ji Zhixia, who was about to lose control, and immediately left the hospital.
Anyway, they didn't want to come see the old man, so it's good that they were driven away.
………
Ji Zhinan has been devoting all his time to studying lately, in addition to his work.
Xing Fei and Ji Zhinan were taking a walk on the pebbly path at school. Xing Fei was as sunny as ever, with a smile on her face that made everyone around her feel relaxed.
"Nan Nan".
Xing Fei put her hands behind her back and walked backwards on the pebble path, facing Ji Zhinan. She smiled and spoke.
"Lin Que is coming to our school to film a movie!"
Ji Zhinan was holding his textbook and reviewing it as he walked.
Upon hearing Xing Fei's words, she merely lifted her eyelids, turned a page, and buried her attention back in the book, asking perfunctorily, "Really?"
"Yes!" Xing Fei nodded repeatedly, very excited: "They're going to film a campus drama, I heard it's super sweet. The director and Lin Que are old acquaintances. The director gave Lin Que face when he first debuted, so Lin Que is giving him face now."
"This director has directed many popular period dramas and even won the Best Director Award. This is his first time directing a campus drama, and I'm quite looking forward to it."
