"I think he's dead."
Shen Xinrong's words were astonishing, startling Ji Mingsheng: "This, how is this possible?"
"The person didn't come, and there was no phone call. Do you think that's normal?"
Anyway, Shen Xinrong felt that something was very abnormal.
Shen Xinrong reminded him: "And there was that news story from last year, where so many people were rescued from the sea, and afterwards there were reports everywhere of people being reunited with their families after a long separation, or of people being separated forever. Where were these people rescued from? Haven't you ever thought about that?"
Ji Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise, "You mean Master Meng's headquarters has been raided? He's been killed?"
Shen Xinrong glared at him: "Keep your voice down!"
"Our own courtyard..." Ji Mingsheng's next words were swallowed back by Shen Xinrong's glare.
He asked in a low voice, "What does this have to do with the mirror?"
Shen Xinrong lowered her voice even further: "It was he who persuaded Master Meng to go back!"
Ji Mingsheng asked incredulously, "How did you know?"
“I heard it.”
Shen Xinrong only figured it out in the last two days.
In front of the first and second wives, Ji Mingjing brazenly became intimate with Rongrong, making it difficult for them not to notice that the relationship between the two was unusual.
But where does Ji Mingjing get the confidence to confront the clan elders?
Without Master Meng's support, the clan elders were like tigers with their teeth pulled—paper tigers, powerless, and posing no threat whatsoever, utterly incapable of contending with a true lion.
Ji Mingjing is that lion.
Shen Xinrong has come to terms with reality. Now that Ji Mingjing can even withdraw the clan elders' dividends, who knows when they might fall into the hands of the eldest branch of the family. Therefore, she must maintain a good relationship with the third branch of the family.
Not only herself, she also reminded Ji Mingsheng: "You should be more careful when you drink outside in the future, and don't talk nonsense."
"Nonsense" refers to his insults towards Ji Mingjing.
Ji Mingsheng touched his nose: "I stopped saying it a long time ago."
On the other side, Ji Lianju went directly to Ji Liansheng's house. Without even entering the study, he couldn't wait to tell them that Ji Mingjing was going to withdraw the dividends from their families.
Before Ji Liansheng could speak, his wife angrily said, "Why cancel the dividends? You all contributed to his stable position as head of the family. The Ji family's success today is at least half due to the efforts of you elders!"
"Hmph, he's so ungrateful, unfilial, and disrespectful; if word gets out, his reputation will be ruined! He won't even have a chance to sit as the head of the family then!"
However, Ji Lianju scoffed: "Reputation? He doesn't even mind marrying his nephew's ex-fiancée, why would he care about his reputation?"
"We can't just let it go like that!" Old Madam Ji tugged at Ji Lian Sheng: "Say something!"
Ji Liansheng glanced at her, thinking, "You've already said everything."
He coughed twice and said to Ji Lianju, "Mingjing's actions have seriously threatened the interests of our families. I suggest that we immediately convene all the clan elders to discuss countermeasures and work together to find a solution to this matter."
Ji Lianju had already witnessed Ji Mingjing's indifference in the capital city, and hearing his elder brother say this now, he felt somewhat disheartened.
"So what if we gather all the elders? Does Big Brother think they dare to go against Ji Mingjing? The entire Ji family is now controlled by that bastard, and several of our families have younger members working for him in the group. He can cancel their dividends, and he can fire them too."
Upon hearing this, Ji Liansheng's wife's face gradually turned pale.
She has family members working at the Ji family's branch office. What if she angers Ji Mingjing and he fires them all?
Looking at his wife's pale face, Ji Liansheng sighed deeply: "Don't worry too much. Will laying off too many people at once affect the group's stock price?"
Besides, all he wants is to marry Rongrong. If we don't object, he'll just take it all and let it go easily.
Instantly, Ji Lianju asked with a livid face, "Brother, do you agree to him marrying Rongrong?"
"You won't agree?" Ji Mingjing had their Achilles' heel; what could they do if they didn't agree?
Ji Lianju looked aggrieved.
Since he was going to agree in the end anyway, why did he bother going to the old house?
Now look what's happened; we've offended Ji Mingjing.
Ji Lianju left, cursing and swearing.
Ji Liansheng knew that his younger brother was blaming him, and because of this, Ji Liansheng fell ill. Ji Lianju came to see him, and the two brothers reconciled.
But that's a story for another time, so let's leave it at that.
???
In the city center hospital of the capital.
After undergoing a series of examinations, Yan Yirou confirmed that she was pregnant and was so happy that she almost jumped for joy.
"Thank you, doctor."
Yan Yirou opened the door and went out with a beaming smile.
When Gu Chenye saw her come out, he immediately went up to her.
Yan Yirou gripped Gu Chenye's arm tightly with both hands: "Husband! Husband!"
Seeing her excited expression, Gu Chenye thought to himself that he finally had an answer, and it was good news.
He gently reassured her, "Yes, I'm here. Don't get agitated, tell me slowly."
really!
"Honey, I'm pregnant! I'm really pregnant!"
Yan Yirou excitedly grabbed his hand and shook it, her face full of smiles, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
Even though he already had a guess in his heart, Gu Chenye was still stunned for two seconds when he heard Yan Yirou's words. After he reacted, he picked up Yan Yirou and spun around in place.
Gu Chenye's sudden action startled Yan Yirou, but she still played along with Gu Chenye's childish game, letting out a silvery laugh.
Gu Chenye held her for a long time. After he stopped, he looked down at the girl in his arms, saw her rosy cheeks, and couldn't help but kiss her lips.
