But with the information right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.
Fortunately, he has no memory of it, so he can pretend it never happened.
However, during his hospitalization, the woman brought him soup every day and stayed for a whole day, which didn't seem like she had no feelings for him.
Ji Mingjing felt a little better after that.
He's no worse than Gu Si. That guy is already married and has children, but the person he likes isn't interested in him. Doesn't that make him even worse off than his nephew who's in jail?
It has now been proven that Rongrong does have a slight liking for him.
However, Ji Mingjing still had no memory of it, which meant that she had given up subconsciously, so there was no need to continue to entangle with her.
This is Ji Mingjing's current attitude.
Ji Kong: Whatever you say is right.
Ji Mingjing continued to bury himself in his work, his tone tinged with impatience: "If you have nothing more to say, then get out!"
"Yes, Master."
Ji Kong quickly left the study, and as he closed the door, he reminded the family head, "The family head has just recovered from a serious illness, so please rest early. Otherwise, Elder You will definitely nag you when he comes to give you acupuncture tomorrow."
Ji Mingjing frowned: "Too long-winded."
His response was the sound of the door closing softly.
Ji Mingjing suddenly realized that his bodyguard was a bit timid.
However, it wasn't a big problem. He signed the project proposal and picked up the next document.
The next morning.
Because it was the first day after Ji Mingjing was discharged from the hospital, the Ji family sat together for breakfast.
Halfway through the meal, Shen Xinrong stepped on Ji Mingsheng's foot.
Ji Mingsheng suddenly looked up.
Then he kept looking at Ji Mingjing, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something but dared not.
Ji Mingjing wiped his mouth, his sharp gaze fixed on Ji Mingsheng: "Big brother, do you have something to say?"
"Ah? Yes, no..." Ji Mingsheng was taken aback at first, then shook his head repeatedly.
Because of their son's imprisonment, the eldest branch of the Ji family has lost power within the family. Those who once supported their son have turned to support the second branch, Ji Xianreng, or the head of the family, Ji Mingjing.
Given this situation, the first wife prefers to maintain the status quo.
Who knows what the second wife will do to them after she takes over?
At least for now, they can still live in the Ji family's old house.
They had already undergone in vitro fertilization and succeeded, but by the time their youngest son grew up, they would be old. Therefore, the couple decided to cultivate a good relationship with Ji Mingjing so that they could ask Ji Mingjing to take care of their youngest son in the future.
For the sake of her youngest son, Shen Xinrong said worriedly, "Patriarch, Rongrong is just a little girl in the capital. Won't she suffer? Why don't we send someone to bring her back? We've watched her grow up. It would be heartbreaking if she got hurt anywhere."
Ji Xianreng, who was also at the table, paused when he heard Rongrong's name and slowed down his eating.
Ji Mingjing raised an eyebrow indifferently: "Twenty-five years old, still a little girl?"
Before she could speak, Ji Mingjing added insult to injury: "Haven't you tasted enough of the bitter fruit of spoiling your children?"
Shen Xinrong's face turned pale instantly.
Does he mean that Xianli's imprisonment is a result of her spoiling him?
Ji Mingsheng felt sorry for his wife and said earnestly, "Third brother, you are the same age as the youngest son of the Gu family. Now he even has a son, while you are still single. Your sister-in-law is just concerned about you and Rongrong, and has no other intentions."
So what if he's single?
He's not even thirty yet; it's not too late for a man to get married at forty!
Ji Mingjing was quite adept at maintaining composure; despite the turmoil within him, he showed no sign of it on his face.
At this moment, Ji Mingsen spoke up quietly: "I don't think so. Third brother is still very young, there's no need for him to get married so soon."
After all, once married, having children would be quick, and if the first child was a son, Ji Mingjing's position as the head of the family would be even more secure, and his son would have no chance at all.
Ji Mingsen continued, "Furthermore, I heard that the woman Gu Yunzhen married used improper means to marry him. So, you have to be careful when judging people. Take it slow and don't rush."
Ji Mingsheng frowned: "Second brother, the one you're talking about is the little miracle doctor."
"Does being called a 'little miracle doctor' negate what she did?"
Ji Mingsen disagreed, his expression righteous: "Brother, we can't just look at a person's status and ignore their character and morality. I think a person's character is more important than their status."
As the old saying goes, "Marry a virtuous wife; a virtuous wife brings fewer troubles to her husband, while marrying an unvirtuous wife ruins three generations." We should take this as a warning.
Ji Mingsheng was speechless with anger.
Shen Xinrong was also angry, but she didn't show it. She glanced at Ji Xianreng without making it obvious and asked lightly, "Does Second Brother think that Rongrong has a bad personality and can't be a good wife?"
"I didn't say that."
Ji Mingsen shook his head in agreement, then looked at Ji Mingjing and said, "It's just to let my third brother take a look around, and also to let him meet with other young ladies and find a suitable wife."
Ji Mingjing gave a faint "hmm": "I appreciate Second Brother's kindness."
Ji Mingsen then invited him, "There's a charity gala tonight, organized by Madam Zeng. Why don't you come with me and Aren to take a look and contribute to the charity?"
Ji Xianren refused without hesitation: "I'm not going!"
The Zeng family? Ji Mingjing thought that the Zeng family was also interested in that project, so he replied, "Okay."
Ji Mingsen was quite surprised; how could it have gone so smoothly?
Ji Xianren couldn't help but turn his head to look at his uncle. He was actually going to meet with other young ladies? What did he think of Rongrong?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
After meeting Rongrong in the capital, Ji Xianreng returned home and got drunk for three days. He decided to bury her deep in his heart, as long as she was happy.
But what does my uncle mean now?
You get it but don't cherish it!
Ji Xianreng's lowered eyes were filled with indignation, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists!
