Chapter 1616 Breaking Through
Ji Yushu realized he had lost his composure after he finished speaking. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He met the expressions of the Jiang family father and daughter, softened his voice and asked again: "Dad, can I know why?"
Jiang Jianyi sighed. He hadn't intended to refuse the guarantor offer, but Yulan's signal to him earlier was that he shouldn't agree. Initially, he'd thought she was being too unkind, but Ji Yushu's questioning had him subconsciously frowning. His matter-of-fact attitude had him doubting his own judgment, but he still explained, "Yushu, it's not that Dad doesn't want to help you. It's that I'm retired now, and the business office wouldn't recognize me as a guarantor."
"How could that be, Dad? I've already inquired in advance, and they said it's possible." Ji Yushu said quickly.
Jiang Jianyi shook his head: "If I had a job before, I would definitely agree to you, but now I can't. I have to consider their feelings."
"Dad is right. Aiguo and the others also need money now. You can't ask me to guarantee you but not them." Jiang Yulan added.
"Why do they, Aiguo, also want loans?" Ji Yushu didn't believe there was such a coincidence.
"That's right. Their company can buy shares. He's been thinking about it recently." Jiang Jianyi nodded. This thing couldn't be faked. Just ask and you'll know. The only difference is that Aiguo invested most of his family's savings, so he didn't need a loan.
"So in this situation, no one can help. Let's wait a little longer." Jiang Yulan echoed from the side.
"Okay." Ji Yushu's expression was a little reluctant. He felt that Jiang Aiguo was doing it on purpose. Otherwise, why would he choose this time instead of earlier? Although he and Jiang Yulan had been married for so many years, Jiang Aiguo and him had never gotten along well, so he suspected that he was doing it on purpose.
"It's time to eat." Zhou Qingfen told everyone that it was time to eat.
"Wow, so many delicious foods." Jiang Qitong spoke first, and Ji Lili also glanced at the table. It was indeed very rich.
Everyone enjoyed the meal except Ji Yushu. Soon Ji Lili and Ji Mingyue went to school for evening self-study. Ji Yushu simply chose to leave early on the pretext of sending them off.
After they left, Jiang Aiguo looked disdainful and said, "What's wrong with him again? Is it because of the passbook?"
"No, he wanted to go to the business office to apply for a loan and asked my dad to be the guarantor, but I asked my dad to refuse," Jiang Yulan explained.
"He is quite courageous." Jiang Aiguo sneered. His wishful thinking was quite good. Even if his business failed, he would have the Jiang family to back him up.
"How's the matter I asked you to investigate last time going?" Jiang Yulan asked.
"It's been so many years, how could it happen so quickly?" Jiang Aiguo gave a helpless smile.
"Did something happen?" Zhou Qingfen asked as she sat next to Jiang Yulan. She had been very calm today.
"No." Jiang Yulan shook her head. She didn't want to make them worry before things were confirmed.
"If it really doesn't work, just give him the passbook in advance. Doing business is a joint decision between the two of you. Now you are holding back and not giving him the money, so it's normal for him to feel emotional." Jiang Jianyi said.
"No rush. Most of the money in the passbook is my savings. I have the right to decide." It was fine in the first two years of their marriage. Ji Yushu would give her all his salary. Later, he would give a portion of his salary to his parents every month. She thought it was fine at the time. He gave them money every month, so even if she and her mother didn't go back, they couldn't say anything. She agreed to do business with Ji Yushu because he had previously behaved like a qualified husband and father. But since Ji Mingyue came home, he seemed like a different person. Or maybe she was just blinded by her own shortcomings.
"If it really doesn't work, let him go back to work." Jiang Aiguo said indifferently. Anyway, he was not optimistic about Ji Yushu's business. It's not that he can't do it well, but he is worried that with his personality, once he achieves something, the first people he will kick out will be his sister and Lili. Instead of that, it is better to maintain the status quo.
"Let's talk about it later. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Jiang Yulan signaled them not to worry about her. After talking to them for a while, she returned home. The house was empty. Calculating the time, he should have returned after sending them to school.
Ji Yushu didn't go home directly after dropping them off at school. He felt insulted at the Jiangs' house. He'd been willing to lend all his family's bankbooks to Jiang Jianyi, but he hadn't been willing to guarantee his debt. Jiang Yulan was also on the same page. They had never considered themselves family. This thought had occasionally surfaced over the years, but it had been particularly strong recently, so he unknowingly walked to Ye Qiuju's workplace again.
He sat on the steps of the flower bed not far from the restaurant, the scarlet in his hand particularly conspicuous in the dark night. After a long while, Ye Qiuju came over, her tone full of surprise: "Brother Ji, why are you here?"
"It's okay, just taking a walk. Are you off work?" Ji Yushu threw away the cigarette butt as he stood up.
"It's gone. Why did you throw it away? You haven't finished smoking it yet." Ye Qiuju stared at the cigarette butt on the ground with a look of heartache.
Ji Yushu followed her gaze and looked at the cigarette butt on the ground. He remembered the three rules between him and Jiang Yulan: no smoking at home and no smoking in front of her and Lili. He had been living such a depressed life for the past ten years.
"Brother Ji, are you in a bad mood? Is it because of Mingyue? Otherwise, I will take Mingyue over." Ye Qiuju gritted her teeth and said cruelly.
"No need, I just came to see you." Ji Yushu shook his head. He thought, it would be great if Jiang Yulan could be so understanding.
"Then let's go to my place. I made your favorite braised pork and was planning to send it to the ironworks tomorrow." Ye Qiuju, remembering Ji Mingyue's words yesterday at noon, invited him. Ji Yushu hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't refuse.
*
Ji Lili and Ji Mingyue returned home from evening self-study and didn't see Ji Yushu. They both had different guesses in their minds. Jiang Yulan's tone was normal: "He must have gone to live with your grandparents. Hurry and eat."
Jiang Yulan really didn't think much about it. She characterized Ji Yushu's behavior tonight as his guarantee being rejected, and he felt unhappy so he went back to the iron factory.
Ji Mingyue was not so happy when she returned to her room. Going to the Jiang family tonight made her understand one thing, that is, Ji Yushu still needed the support of the Jiang family in the early stage of her business. She thought that she had to tell Ye Qiuju that some things could not be rushed.
Ji Lili stared at the notebook on her desk, where she'd recorded the plot. The closest they'd ever gotten to meeting Ye Qiuju was Chen Guilan's birthday. The plot had mentioned that once Ye Qiuju became pregnant, Ji Yushu would arrange for her to live near the ironworks, making it easier for the Ji family to care for her. She glanced at the relationships in the notebook and finally underlined Third Aunt Yao Yan's name. She'd always felt that her son, Ji Wenwu, was the only child of the old Ji family, and that everything in the old Ji family belonged to him. If she knew what they were planning, would she accept it?
Thinking of Ji Yushu's increasingly excessive behavior in recent days, Ji Lili decided to take the initiative. She stood up and knocked on Jiang Yulan's door.
"Lili, why haven't you slept yet?" Jiang Yulan was a little surprised.
"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?" Ji Lili asked.
"You kid, go and sleep in your room." Jiang Yulan reached out and pinched her cheek, then turned around and went back to get her pillow.
When the mother and daughter were lying on Ji Lili's bed again, Jiang Yulan slowly spoke: "Tell me what you wanted to say to Mom just now."
"Mom, I found out that Ji Mingyue lied. She didn't go to her classmate's house for dinner yesterday, but went to see her mother. Her mother works at the Qingyuan Hotel." Ji Lili thought that some truths needed to be discovered by herself instead of being told by others.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Yulan quickly understood what she meant and rubbed her head.
"Mom, no matter what you do, I will support you." Ji Lili said in a firm tone.
Jiang Yulan didn't say anything, but just patted her back gently, just like when she coaxed her to sleep when she was a child. She was thinking about what the worst outcome of this matter would be and whether she could accept it.
That night, Ji Lili slept soundly next to Jiang Yulan. The next day, she woke up feeling refreshed. After Jiang Yulan saw them off, she applied for leave from the factory. She planned to go to the Love Hotel to meet Ji Mingyue's mother. She wanted to confirm Ji Mingyue's background. Regardless of whether she was Ji Yu'an's daughter or not, she had no intention of letting her stay at home any longer.
The Love Hotel was not far from here, but Jiang Yulan didn't want to be seen by too many people, so she chose the bus. The bus stopped and started, and Jiang Yulan found that she hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
*
When Ye Qiuju woke up, she found Ji Yushu leaning against the bed and smoking. She said cautiously, "Brother Ji, she won't have any objections to you not going home last night, right?"
They all knew who the "she" she was referring to. Ji Yushu's already somewhat irritated mood became even more unhappy after hearing her cautious voice: "What opinion could she have?"
"That's good." Ye Qiuju lowered her eyes and pretended to be relieved, then got up and made breakfast.
Ji Yushu was still holding a cigarette in his hand. Looking at her busy figure, he suddenly remembered the years he spent in the countryside. These were days he didn't want to recall, but now thinking back, he actually felt that they were not bad. He stepped forward to interrupt her: "Stop busying yourself. Let's go. I'll take you out to eat."
"Would it be bad if others saw it?" Ye Qiuju's eyes were full of worry.
"What are you afraid of? Just say I hired you to organize the shelves." Ji Yushu already had a plan in mind.
The bus finally arrived near the Love Hotel. She had not planned to have breakfast, but suddenly remembered Lili's reminder. She smiled and walked towards the breakfast stall over there. After taking two steps, she saw Ji Yushu, who shouldn't be here. The smile on her face slowly faded.

"It Turns Out I'm Not the Heroine" Please Collect
My name is Qin Wan, and I’m a time traveler. I can see everyone’s attributes. For example, my best friend has the attribute of the second most vicious female supporting role clearly on her head.
The childhood sweetheart next door is gentle and elegant, and has the characteristics of a loving second male lead.
I have some doubts about the male protagonist attributes of the arrogant eldest son of the Ye family in the circle.
Oh, by the way, there is also the senior I just met. He has a title of "Poor School Prince Charming" on his head, and there is a row of small words below it, which says "Blackened Version".
To sum up, I think I should have the attributes of a heroine, so I decided to enjoy my life as a heroine.
Until one day, I met a girl in a restaurant. She had the attributes of a reborn rich girl.
At this moment, I clearly saw the attribute above my head - a fake rich girl.
Damn it, is my comfortable life going to disappear from now on?
Is it too late for me to amass wealth and stay away from the heroine's harem?
Facing the gradually darkening eyes of the impoverished school hunk, I explained in a gentle tone: "I'm breaking up now to stimulate you to work hard."
This way you’ll have the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with the heroine, and you’ll be grateful to me later.
Facing the doubtful look of the affectionate second male lead, I lowered my head and burst into tears: "Brother, it wasn't me who had the childhood engagement with you. We should keep our distance."
The arrogant male protagonist, Master Ye, actually chose to marry me, a fake daughter. It must be a conspiracy, so I decided to take his betrothal gift and run away.
"Back to the 90s as a Stepmother"
The last time Ji Wei saw Gu Chenan was when he was hit by a car while trying to save her.
After waking up, Ji Wei returned to 1993. It was the first time she had taken her daughter on a blind date. Across from her, Gu Chenan was mustering up the courage to look at her: "Teacher Ji, if you could be my mother, my father and I would treat you and your sister well."
"Okay." This time, Ji Wei gave an answer that was completely different from her previous life.
At first, Ji Wei agreed to marry just to repay a favor. Later, the cold-looking but warm-hearted man gave her all the money he earned and put her and the children first in everything. She felt that this marriage was not a wrong one.
Later, this man always walked in front of her in a vest and shorts. Looking at his smooth muscle lines, Ji Wei slapped her forehead. How could she forget that they had a license and everything they did was legal?
