Chapter 386 Her protective nature towards her family VS His soft heart towards his wronged child (44 pages)
Jiang Zhiyi ruffled her hair haphazardly and continued to sit on the bed, sulking.
Even though nothing was wrong, she just couldn't help feeling angry.
She glanced at her phone; there were several messages from her family on WeChat.
She replied to each of them, then transferred some money to Li Aijin and told her about her younger siblings.
The chat window has temporarily fallen silent.
Jiang Zhiyi started spacing out again.
marry……
She couldn't help but sigh.
She had never seriously considered marriage before, but now she realizes there are so many choices involved.
Marriage is not just a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.
Her situation is even more special; marrying her... is essentially marrying her entire family.
Whether it's Fu Chengyan or Ji Chen, it's a marriage of convenience for her.
Even ordinary families would mind her situation. Not to mention wealthy and powerful families like hers, who naturally have even more to consider.
If she really marries into the family, the two families probably won't be able to get along like ordinary in-laws.
She and her family were always in a subordinate position.
But she is now enjoying a life that is not typical of ordinary people, so she can no longer compare her marriage to that of ordinary people.
It would be a lie to say that she didn't care about the superior material conditions they provided for her.
She wasn't that aloof or hypocritical.
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Now she sleeps in quilts that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. She no longer wants to use those thick, cold old quilts that are not warm enough. Even if she wraps herself up tightly in winter and feels suffocated by the weight, she still gets freezing.
She didn't want to work anymore, and she didn't want her beautiful hands to be covered in calluses.
She wants to spend money as she pleases, without any burden, and to provide her family with special privileges anytime, anywhere, whether through money or connections...
She wanted to live a good life without any difficulty, and she wanted her family to live a good life without any difficulty either.
Jiang Zhiyi felt a little resentful.
She wasn't always like this...
Whose fault is it?
It's Fu Chengyan's fault.
He did it on purpose. Over the years, he spoiled her and made her grow greedy, resulting in the way she is now.
The phone next to me suddenly rang a few more times, and some current affairs news popped up on the screen.
[The Fu Family Scandal! A Former Business Leader...]
Her gaze was drawn to it, and her fingers moved faster than her brain, clicking directly into the search bar.
I glanced at the dense text and found that it was mostly speculation and contained no real events.
There were also a few photos of Fu Chengyan, but they were all blurry images of his back, and some were not even clearly visible.
It's not surprising, really. Fu Chengyan has always been very low-key, and he was rarely seen in newspapers or news in the past.
That is to say, he is now "fallen into obscurity" and is being taken advantage of, so people write these kinds of things to criticize him.
She turned off her phone, lay back down, and continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.
...
afternoon.
Jiang Zhiyi came out of the restaurant; she had just met with several wealthy female clients there for dinner.
After finishing her meal, she is now preparing to take a car back.
As she turned her head to the corner, she saw Ji Chen and a young woman walk into the restaurant.
The woman looked to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with slightly wavy light-colored long hair and a very fashionable style of dress. She affectionately linked her arm with his and occasionally turned her head to talk to him.
Ji Chen patiently replied, his face full of doting smiles.
Jiang Zhiyi was immediately puzzled.
Who is that woman?
Ji Chen said this morning that he was going home today and might not be back tonight, and told her not to wait for him.
Jiang Zhiyi stood there staring at the woman's back for a long time.
She felt like she had seen this person somewhere before, but she couldn't quite remember where she was looking.
In the restaurant.
"Second brother, come on, try this." Ji Yun served some food to Ji Chen, acting very attentive.
Ji Chen could tell at a glance that she was up to something, and asked directly, "What mischief have you gotten yourself into this time? I dare not eat this food, tell me what happened first."
"Oh! No!" Ji Yun said coquettishly, "Just eat in peace, what bad things could I possibly do? Nothing's wrong. I just want to have a meal with you..."
Ji Chen raised an eyebrow, naturally disbelieving, but under her persuasion, he still picked up his chopsticks.
"If you don't say it now, don't say it later."
"I'll talk about it later! I'll talk about it..." Ji Yun smiled shamelessly, "Let's eat first."
"Where's Cheng? I haven't seen him lately. What's he been busy with?" Ji Chen asked casually.
Ji Yun's face fell, and she said in a muffled voice, "I broke up with him a few days ago. I don't know anything about him after that."
"What's going on? You two have always been getting along well?" Ji Chen glanced at her several times, thinking she was deliberately causing trouble again like before. "Don't throw tantrums and act foolishly with him all the time. When two people are together, they have to give in to each other. You can't always make him give in. What did you two argue about this time?"
“It wasn’t an argument, it’s a real breakup. I don’t like him anymore.” Ji Yun said proudly, but her expression was furious. “Last time, Shan Shan and I ran into him outside, and that’s when we found out he has a house outside and keeps a woman there! I’m so angry, I don’t want him anymore. I’ve already broken up with him, and there’s absolutely no way we’ll get back together.”
Hearing this, Ji Chen frowned and asked again, "Does his family know about this?"
The marriage was arranged between the two families beforehand, but now they have suddenly broken up... This marriage is not a game; there are too many things involved.
The two of them separated cleanly, but other matters were unclear for a while, or rather, impossible to separate at all.
“I don’t know about his family situation. I’ve told you now… I haven’t mentioned it to his older brother and parents yet.”
My second brother and mother are the easiest people to talk to in the family.
If her mother knew about this, she would naturally help her. However, her mother's words were not very effective, and she had no other choice but to go to her second brother, Ji Chen, first.
Ji Chen's face darkened. "This is going to be difficult... I told you two to talk first and not rush into anything, but you wouldn't listen. You've been bewitched by him..."
"Second Brother!" Ji Yun continued to whine and pester, "I know I was wrong now, but I can't help it. You have to help me. If I marry him, I'll never be happy for the rest of my life..."
She pretended to cry.
Ji Chen could only try to comfort her, saying, "Alright, alright, you're such a grown-up, why are you crying? I'll call my older brother later to discuss your matter... You know, things have changed recently, and it's putting my brother in a difficult position..."
"I understand," she replied.
