Despite the elder's aggressive approach, Rongrong remained calm, as if it were something she had expected.
"Elder, although saying this may make you angry, you really can't stop my marriage to Ji Mingjing."
These words were quite grating to Ji Lianju's ears.
The fact that the person who said this was an orphan girl living in the Ji family, who usually didn't seem to have much of a presence, made him even angrier.
Ji Lianju pointed at her and said, "Shameless thing!"
Rongrong frowned slightly after being scolded, and her tone became a little colder: "You are a clan elder, a senior, and you can say whatever you want. However, established facts will not change because of your words. But getting angry is bad for your health, so please take care of yourself."
Tell him to take good care of himself.
Is this a curse?
Ji Lianju's face turned pale with anger.
He stared coldly at Rongrong and threatened in a deep voice, "I'm not asking for your opinion now, but ordering you to leave Mingjing. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences!"
Just as Rongrong was about to speak, Ji Mingsheng's phone rang.
Ji Lianju turned his head sharply to look.
"You go first."
Ji Mingsheng waved his hand, took out his phone with his other hand, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
Ji Lianju asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Mingsheng looked up at him, then suddenly stepped forward and handed him his phone.
Ji Lianju looked at the words 'Mingjing' on the screen, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Aren't you going to answer?"
"Cough cough."
Ji Mingsheng didn't want to get into trouble. Even though he was the eldest brother, if he angered Ji Mingjing, he would still suffer the consequences.
He knew this from the time he was running for the position of head of the family, and he understood it even more deeply afterward regarding Xianli's affairs.
"He doesn't usually call me unless there's a reason. If he's calling me now, he must be looking for you."
Ji Mingsheng swiped his finger to answer the call and pressed speakerphone.
The next second, Ji Mingjing's voice came from the phone: "Big brother, please give the phone to the clan elder."
Ji Mingsheng had an "I knew it" look on his face: "Elder, you're listening. Just say what you have to say."
The clan elder frowned and glared at Ji Mingsheng.
Ji Mingsheng thought to himself, "It's no use glaring at me now. You should talk to Mingjing yourself."
At this moment, Ji Mingjing called out, "Elder."
Ji Lianju quickly replied, "Yes, I'm here."
Ji Mingjing's deep voice pierced through: "I don't care what the elders decide. Rongrong is my fiancée whom I pursued with my life. If you drive her away, then the group will have nothing to do with you in the future."
Ji Lianju was stunned for a moment: "Mingjing, what do you mean by saying that the group will have nothing to do with us in the future?"
Ji Mingjing's icy voice rang out: "That means from now on, your dividends will be gone."
No more dividends?
Ji Lianju suddenly stood up.
Even Ji Mingsheng was taken aback. This person was really furious, actually cutting the elders' dividends to the bare minimum.
Ji Lianju frowned deeply: "Mingjing, the elders are all thinking about the reputation of the Ji family. You can't do this. The group isn't your personal fiefdom, is it?"
However, Ji Mingjing coldly scoffed, "You know I have the qualifications and the ability."
Ji Lianju knew, of course, that Ji Mingjing was very capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so polite just now.
However, he never expected that Ji Mingjing would go to such lengths for this orphan girl!
But then I thought, maybe Ji Mingjing had long wanted to get rid of these old fogies?
Ji Lianju glanced at Rongrong, his old face flushed with embarrassment, and tried his best to save face, saying, "Mingjing, it's hard to explain over the phone. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly when you come back!"
The older generation can choose not to take the money, but their children still work for the company. What if they lose their jobs because of this?
No, he had to go back and discuss it with his older brother and the others.
Ji Lianju hung up the phone, shoved the phone into Ji Mingsheng's hand, and walked away.
Seeing his hurried steps, Ji Mingsheng suppressed a laugh and called out, "Hey, old man, aren't you going to stay for dinner?"
Suddenly, Ji Lianju turned around, glared at him angrily, pointed at him with his finger, and then walked even faster.
After the crowd had gone out of sight, Ji Mingsheng looked away and turned to Rongrong: "The elder was just bluffing. Don't worry, Mingjing will handle it. Go back now."
Rongrong hummed in agreement: "I know, thank you, big brother. I'm leaving now."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Ji Mingsheng also returned to his courtyard, found Shen Xinrong, and told her about Ji Mingjing's phone call that scared away the clan elder.
Shen Xinrong did not express her opinion.
Ji Mingsheng added, "I didn't expect Mingjing to have planted an inside man next to Rongrong! Luckily, we didn't do anything to Rongrong, or we would have been in trouble too."
Shen Xinrong rolled her eyes at him: "What mole? I was the one who called him."
"You?" Ji Mingsheng was stunned!
Doesn't she dislike Mingjing and Rongrong? Why would she help them?
After so many years of marriage, Shen Xinrong could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and she snorted coldly: "Do you think I wanted this?"
Ji Mingsheng couldn't understand her: "So you did it even though you didn't want to?"
Shen Xinrong's eyes were full of complicated emotions. She suddenly sighed and said, "I've already said it. If we want to continue living in this house, we shouldn't go against your brother."
Ji Mingsheng had long since given up on running for family head. Hearing that his wife had also come to her senses, he nodded and said, "You're right."
Shen Xinrong chuckled: "Do you know how long it's been since Master Meng last visited our house?"
Ji Mingsheng was taken aback and said, "What does this have to do with Master Meng? Perhaps he's tied up with something and doesn't have time to come."
