"impossible!"
Ji Xianren was certain of this: "Uncle is a suspicious person, and it's difficult for ordinary people to gain his trust, and the same goes for feelings... So Uncle was already thinking about Rongrong before you even broke off your engagement, right?"
Ji Xianli suddenly sighed: "It seems that even if I hadn't broken off the engagement yesterday, I still wouldn't have been able to marry Rongrong."
Ji Xianreng's pupils contracted.
"Brother, what should I do now? What should I do?"
My uncle is the head of the Ji family. If he gives the order to be sent abroad, he will never be able to return. He has no chance against my uncle.
Ji Xianli comforted him, saying, "Don't worry. Rongrong used to be my fiancée. All the noble families in Xizhou City know that. If word gets out that you want to marry her, it won't sound good. The elders in the family probably won't agree."
A bright light flashed in Ji Xianreng's eyes, as if he had found a good solution.
That's right!
He could ask the elders in the family to intervene and stop his uncle!
"Big brother, I'm going back now."
Ji Xianren got up and left.
"I send you."
After seeing him out, Ji Xianli returned to his room, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
Ji Xianreng was walking in the house when he received a phone call from his mother.
He answered the phone as he walked: "Mom."
Madam Ji said firmly, "Come back right now. Your father and I have something to discuss with you."
Ji Xianren frowned: "Does it have to be now?"
"Yes, your dad and I are waiting for you!"
Ji Xianreng wanted to say that he had something to take care of, but the call had already ended, so he had no choice but to walk towards the Xilin Courtyard where his parents lived.
Eight minutes later.
Ji Xianreng walked into the living room of Xilin Courtyard and saw his parents sitting on the sofa. He was stunned for a moment.
"Dad, Mom, what happened?"
Madam Ji looked at her son and said directly, "I do not agree to you marrying Rongrong."
Ji Xianren shouted loudly, "Mom!"
Madam Ji's face darkened, and she coldly interrupted him: "You don't need to say anything. She's a daughter-in-law that even your eldest aunt didn't want, which is why your eldest brother broke off the engagement with her. You're no less than your eldest brother in every way. Do you want to pick up a woman he doesn't want? Let me tell you, I will never accept a daughter-in-law that Shen Xinrong doesn't want!"
But Ji Xianreng firmly stated, "Whether others like Rongrong or not is not important. I only know that I like Rongrong, and I will marry no one but her!"
Upon hearing the words "I will marry no one but her," Madam Ji's face turned ashen with anger: "Are you trying to drive me to my death?"
After saying that, she looked at her husband and said, "Say something!"
Ji Mingsen, the second master of the Ji family, looked at his son and said, "If I don't acknowledge her identity, she won't be included in the Ji family's genealogy, and she won't be buried in the Ji family's ancestral tomb after she dies."
Ji Xianreng was incredulous!
He never expected that the first people to oppose his marriage to Rongrong would be his parents!
But no one can stop him!
"Dad! Do you also think that because I married Rongrong, you are not as good as my eldest uncle?"
Ji Xianreng knew that his mother and aunt had a long-standing feud, so it wasn't surprising that she had such thoughts, but his father and uncle had a pretty good relationship.
"You bastard!"
Ji Mingsen was so angry that his old face turned red, and he smashed a teacup.
A crisp bang!
The teacup shattered at Ji Xianreng's feet, splashing water onto his shoes and trousers.
"You're furious because I guessed right."
Ji Xianreng looked at them expressionlessly: "You are my parents, why do you oppose me regardless of whether I truly like you or not? Is your pride really more important than your son's happiness?"
Before his parents could speak, he continued, "If you don't acknowledge Rongrong, then I'll take her and move out!"
After saying that, Ji Xianren turned and left with a cold expression.
Madam Ji was so angry that she swayed, but luckily Ji Mingsen caught her, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground.
"He... he's abandoning his parents for a woman!" Madam Ji was devastated; her beloved son had actually disobeyed his parents!
Ji Mingsen sighed: "You're being too extreme. Talk to him properly, why did it have to come to this!"
Madam Ji was stunned: "...Are you blaming me?"
Ji Mingsen didn't say yes or no, but reminded her: "You know Rongrong, she knows etiquette and knows when to advance or retreat. If you talk to her, she might not bother our son."
Madam Ji the Second suddenly pushed his hand away and said angrily, "I thought that girl was a good person, but she actually seduced the Second Brother under the guise of being the eldest brother's fiancée. What does she want to do? Watch those brothers fight to the death over her?"
Ji Mingsen narrowed his eyes: "With us here, those brothers won't be able to fight."
Madam Ji didn't care what he said; all she wanted to do now was resolve her son's matter as soon as possible!
The eldest daughter-in-law is going to marry into the Yan family of the capital city, but her son is marrying a woman who has no family of her own. In that case, the second branch of the family will have no status in the Ji family and will be ridiculed when they go out!
Madam Ji suddenly walked outside.
Ji Mingsen called out to her, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the little villa and find that brat!"
“The patriarch is there. What can you say if you go? You should just stay at home,” Ji Mingsen said.
Madam Ji was dumbfounded, as if she had discovered some hidden secret, and asked urgently, "Why is the head of the family there?"
Ji Mingsen did not answer, but got up and went towards the study.
But Lady Ji Er excitedly covered her mouth.
This is the patriarch handing us a handle!
If word gets out that he's stealing a woman from his nephew, his reputation will be ruined, and he won't be able to hold onto the position of head of the family anymore!
The Ji family is like a small society, full of scheming and conspiracies.
But the Gu family in the capital city is a completely different world.
The four Gu brothers practice their instruments at the gym, creating a chaotic scene, occasionally cracking jokes, yet maintaining a harmonious atmosphere.
The gym has excellent soundproofing; you can't hear anything when you're standing outside.
Ji Moyan then took Shangguan Wu's hand and led her back to the living room.
She reassured her daughter-in-law, saying, "Don't worry, I've already asked your dad to go buy the baby!"
Shangguan Wu thought to herself, "I'm not in a hurry!"
Not long after, Gu Qingyu drove back and handed her more than a dozen miniature listening devices.
Gu Qingyu felt sorry for his sons: "Maybe we shouldn't bother with all this?"
Ji Moyan refused outright: "No, they're all getting on in years. Getting married and having children is a natural progression. If you don't want to help, then sit aside."
Gu Qingyu: "..." Didn't he just help buy the things?
Shangguan Wu stared in disbelief: "Mom, you don't mean to put this in the gym, do you?"
As Jimo Tobacco unpacked the cigarettes, it said, "Every TV series has behind-the-scenes footage, right? We can't be left out!"
Shangguan Wu was speechless.
"Mom, I think with their intelligence, these things are unlikely to be of much use. It's better to tell them the truth, what do you think?"
After Shangguan Wu finished speaking, not only did the living room fall silent, but the gym also fell silent.
