Ever since she shook off Ye Nanqing at the company gate that day and said she didn't want to see him again, Ji Fuling really hadn't seen him for a whole week.
Over the course of the week, her anger shifted from being angry at Ye Nanqing to being angry at herself.
I'm angry at myself for constantly thinking about that big liar!
That evening, Ji Fuling came out of the company and thought that she hadn't seen her grandfather for a few days. She was going to Yicheng on a business trip the next day, which would probably last for several days.
After thinking about it, she decided to go back to the Ji family to visit her grandfather.
Driving to the Ji family's old residence, Ji Fuling got out of the car carrying large and small bags of nutritional supplements and went up to ring the doorbell.
Uncle Lu opened the door.
Upon seeing Ji Fuling, Uncle Lu was delighted and greeted her with a smile as he ushered her into the house. "Second Miss, you've finally arrived! The old man was just saying he missed you."
Is my grandfather alright?
Ji Fuling handed the things in her hand to Uncle Lu and casually asked a question.
Ji Xinqi's pregnancy has caused quite a stir, and her grandfather is probably furious.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu sighed, "The old man went to the hospital a few days ago and almost had a heart attack from the stress. Fortunately, he has recovered in the past two days and is now mostly fine."
Ji Fuling felt a little relieved and nodded, saying, "Uncle Lu, you go ahead with your work. I'll go check on Grandpa."
After saying that, she went straight to the old man's room.
The old man was resting on the bed when he saw her come in. His weathered face immediately lit up with a smile, and he waved to her, "Fuling, you're here. Come and sit down."
Ji Fuling walked over with a smile, sat down by the bed, and gently advised, "Grandpa, your health isn't good, so don't worry too much. You should rest more and not overwork yourself."
"Don't worry, Grandpa knows what he's doing. But if you can spend more time with me, Grandpa will be even happier, and his health will naturally improve."
Grandpa Ji held Ji Fuling's hand and patted the back of her hand affectionately.
Ji Fuling smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to Yicheng on a business trip in the next few days. If anything happens, please call me anytime."
"Grandpa can eat and sleep well, so what could possibly happen to him? You don't need to worry about him here."
"If you miss me, you can call me."
"That's a good idea, but then Grandpa might call you several times a day."
Ji Fuling chuckled, "Go ahead and hit me, it's no problem."
One of the main reasons she returned to Yuncheng was that her grandfather was getting old and she wanted to accompany him in his later years.
When the time is right, she will bring the three children to his great-grandfather so that they can meet him...
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted for a while until the old man went to rest, at which point Ji Fuling said goodbye and left.
When the door opened, they were shocked to find Ji Xinqi standing at the door eavesdropping.
To avoid disturbing the old man, Ji Fuling closed the door behind her, then glanced coldly at Ji Xinqi, "Even injured like this, you can still eavesdrop. My cousin's physical condition is truly enviable."
Ji Xinqi was discharged from the hospital just two days ago. The bite wounds from Cyclone and Chasing Wind had not fully healed yet. Her hands and feet were wrapped in gauze, and she looked almost like a mummy.
Hearing Ji Fuling's sarcasm, she became furious and embarrassed. "Ji Fuling, don't be so smug! All you can do is use that sweet talk to fool Grandpa. You're nothing at all!"
Ji Fuling scoffed, her cold eyes devoid of any warmth. "Then you're wrong. I can still beat you to a pulp with this hand, do you believe me?"
Seeing her suddenly clenched fist, Ji Xinqi couldn't help but recall the beating she had received before, and took a few steps back with some apprehension.
Ji Fuling didn't bother with any more words, coldly withdrew her gaze, and walked away.
Ji Xinqi was furious at her dismissive attitude. Her anger overcame her fear, and she rushed forward to stop her.
"Ji Fuling, you should know that I'm pregnant with Ye Nanqing's child, right? After I marry Ye Nanqing, I'll make you kneel down and beg me while you cry!"
Ji Fuling's gaze swept over her stomach, and a mocking smile curved her red lips. "You know perfectly well whose child is in your belly."
Instead of indulging in daydreams about marrying into the Ye family, you should think about the consequences of your lies being exposed!
After saying that, she walked past Ji Xinqi and continued walking out.
Hearing her seemingly knowing tone, Ji Xinqi's face instantly turned ashen, but she still shouted at her retreating figure with resentment.
"Ji Fuling, stop being so stubborn. I know you're jealous of me, jealous that the child in my belly is Ye Nanqing's!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling's lips curled into an even deeper sneer.
She didn't stop walking and strode away.
No wonder there's a saying: you can never wake up someone who's "living in a dream."
Ji Xinqi is beyond saving.
Oh no, Ji Xinqi is more like courting death.
Of course, this is something she'd love to see!
...
The next day.
Ji Fuling got up very early because she had to catch a flight to Yicheng.
After she finished washing up and changing her clothes, she was about to go downstairs when Ji Tiantian, who was still asleep, heard the noise and struggled to get out of bed.
"Mommy, why are you up so early today?"
The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice soft and sweet.
Ji Fuling went over and hugged her. "Mommy is going to work in another city and may not be back for two days. You have to be a good girl at home and listen to Grandma Ding and your brother. Don't be naughty, okay?"
She got home quite late last night, and the little girl was already asleep, so she didn't know she was going on a business trip today.
"oh oh!"
Ji Tiantian nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Then, she suddenly remembered something and hugged Ji Fuling's neck. "Mommy, Tian Tian has something to discuss with you."
Seeing her so serious, Ji Fuling became curious. "What is it? Tell me."
“There’s a parent-child activity at the kindergarten in a few days. All the children in the class have their dads and moms with them, and Tian Tian wants to do that too.”
Ji Tiantian blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at Ji Fuling expectantly, "Mommy, can you come with the handsome uncle?"
Ji Fuling: "..."
The mere mention of Ye Nanqing, that big liar, made her angry, and she had no desire to agree.
But seeing her daughter's expectant look, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ji Tiantian took it as a yes and immediately clapped her hands and cheered, "Yay! The handsome uncle promised me yesterday, so I can participate in parent-child activities with Daddy and Mommy!"
Ji Fuling was amused by the little girl's antics. She reached out and pinched her cheek lightly, just pretending to be angry.
"Did you discuss this with Mommy? You're acting first and asking questions later! I think you're just here to annoy me."
"No, that's not true! Sweetie loves Mommy the most, how could she make Mommy angry!"
Ji Tiantian tilted her little face up and kissed Ji Fuling on the cheek. She said earnestly, "Mommy, you should make up with the handsome uncle quickly. I've already found out. The handsome uncle lied to you. He just wanted your care and attention. If you ignore him, he will be very sad and pitiful."
Ji Fuling: "..."
She's the one who's pitiful!
She'd been deceived for so many days, serving that man tea and water, pushing him in and out of the room like he was a king...
Thinking of everything that had happened before, Ji Fuling couldn't help but snort coldly.
She tucked the little girl back into bed, saying, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer. Mommy's in a hurry, I have to go out."
After saying that, Ji Fuling picked up her bag, turned around, and left the room.
Lying on the bed, little Ji Tiantian sighed dramatically, "Sigh... I wonder when that handsome uncle will finally marry Mommy. It's so worrying!"
