Chapter 26 I'm a Brother-Supporting Demon
Ji Huailin's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Zeng Min was somewhat unable to control her emotions, but she didn't notice at all.
Even if she noticed, she wouldn't take it too seriously. She thought Ji Huailin was cowardly, selfish, and greedy. At most, if things escalated, it would make her lose face.
However, it's not a lie that she likes Ji Huailin; he's good-looking and spends whatever he has on her.
It's hard not to be tempted, but her goal is clear: to live a good life.
"Try the sashimi here. Don't overthink it. Aren't we happy now?" Zeng Min put a piece of salmon on his plate.
Ji Huailin didn't speak, his hands were still trembling, his emotions had surged to the top of his head in an instant.
It made his head feel a little dizzy.
Zeng Min frowned after taking a bite of sashimi; she didn't really like it.
But as long as it's expensive, she can pretend to like it.
"That's great," Zeng Min said against her will. "I have nothing to do these next few days, so I can spend some quality time with you."
Ji Huailin was appeased by her words.
As for why she accompanied him, he didn't think too much about it.
Ji Huaizhi found it amusing after hearing what the system said; he hadn't expected that the system was such a romantic.
Liu Jinhua and Ji Junsong are still in the hospital. He had previously hinted to them to call the police, but since Ji Huailin took two million yuan this time, they don't seem to have any intention of calling the police.
After Dong Shuxiang finished her postpartum confinement, Ji Huaizhi held the baby and discussed with her, "Since Mom is still here watching over things, I'll go to the hospital to check on things tomorrow."
“Actually, I was also planning to persuade you to go see them. Even though your parents are biased, you still have to step in if something happens,” Dong Shuxiang advised. “Otherwise, who knows what people outside will say about you.”
“They have no influence over me. I said I was going to take a look, and I just went to take a look.”
Dong Shuxiang didn't try to persuade him further. Ji Huaizhi was unwilling to talk to her about the Ji family's affairs anymore.
Ji Huaizhi arrived at the hospital, and this time he happened to see Ji Huailin there as well.
He came to test whether his parents had any money left, as he always felt that they had more than that.
I didn't expect my older brother to come.
He hadn't seen his older brother for a long time and found that he didn't seem to have any of the dejection that comes with unemployment. On the contrary, he seemed to be doing quite well lately.
I, on the other hand, am completely dejected.
"Huaizhi, you're here! Quickly teach your brother a lesson! We've already told you we have no money left!" Liu Jinhua felt like she was going to cry her eyes out.
"He insists that we can still come up with money, but where am I supposed to find the money for him?"
“We gave him all our money to buy a house, but he still hasn’t settled on a house, and I’m really worried about it.”
Ji Huailin, shaking his leg, threw away the fruit peel: "What kind of house can you buy with this little money?"
"Isn't the fact that it's not settled yet just because we don't have enough money?"
Ji Huaizhi ignored their lawsuit.
I first glanced at Ji Junsong lying on the hospital bed.
His mouth was crooked, and his fingers were in strange shapes, making him look quite disheveled.
The look in Ji Huailin's eyes was clearly filled with resentment.
The nurse happened to come in for rounds, and the group immediately fell silent. Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the room, the nurse said:
"The patient cannot withstand any stimulation right now, otherwise the condition will only get worse."
"You family members should be careful not to argue in front of the patient."
Liu Jinhua agreed: "I understand, I will tell them."
After everyone left, Liu Jinhua, afraid of losing face, closed the ward door.
When her eldest son arrived, she clung to him as a lifeline: "You've come to see your father, haven't you? He's very happy to see you."
"Old Ji, your eldest son is here."
Ji Junsong was not happy. He grimaced and muttered intermittently, "They're all...they're all un...unfilial sons."
“Your father is confused now.” Liu Jinhua looked at Ji Huaizhi with teary eyes: “He needs someone to take care of him now that he’s like this.”
Ji Huailin remained silent, keeping a close eye on Ji Huaizhi.
My parents gave me two million, but I still don't know what his attitude is.
If he were to cause trouble, I wouldn't take out the money.
“Brother, since you’re currently unemployed, why don’t you take care of Dad?” Ji Huailin tentatively suggested. “It would be perfect if you could bring Dad to your place to take care of him. I can visit him whenever I have time.”
In this way, I might be able to take advantage of my older brother.
Liu Jinhua also wanted to go live with Ji Huaizhi, since she was finding it very difficult to take care of him.
More importantly, Ji Huailin always comes back demanding money, and if he doesn't get it, he'll resort to violence, but he doesn't dare to do that with his eldest son.
"Eldest son," Liu Jinhua tentatively asked.
"Mom wants to come with you. I can take care of your children and cook for you."
She had already told him on the phone that she still had money.
As long as he takes the couple over, Liu Jinhua will give all the money to Huaizhi.
With Ji Huailin there, Liu Jinhua dared not speak, and could only keep giving him meaningful glances.
"You'll come with me, and my husband and I will take care of you. Then you'll give all the money to Ji Huailin?" Ji Huaizhi asked her.
Liu Jinhua shook her head and waved her hands: "No, no."
I still have money on me. If you take us there, I'll give you all the money; I won't give it to Huailin. Liu Jinhua didn't dare say this aloud.
She was afraid that Ji Huailin would make a scene, and she was also afraid that he would hit her.
Now that Ji Junsong is in this state, he can't bear it all by himself.
Ji Huailin: "Big brother, things are really tough for me right now. You already have a house, are you going to fight with me for it too?"
“I won’t argue with you. It’s just that you’re taking our money now. I will only give them alimony when they reach a certain age, and I will give them the minimum amount.”
Liu Jinhua felt disheartened upon hearing this.
Ji Junsong kept growling on the bed, as if he was cursing, but his words were unclear.
"Hmph!" Ji Huailin sneered, "There really isn't a single good person in our family."
"You...you..." Liu Jinhua clutched her chest and wept bitterly.
She looked at her eldest son with tears in her eyes, trying to tell from his expression whether he had said those words in anger.
Ji Huaizhi looked at Ji Junsong: "Didn't you call your uncle and cousin? You used to help them a lot. Now that Dad is like this, they haven't even mentioned coming to see him?"
"They've made their fortune and forgotten how they got there. There's not a single good person among us surnamed Ji."
Ji Huailin pondered Ji Huaizhi's words.
Liu Jinhua suddenly realized that she could ask her relatives to persuade Huaizhi.
Ji Huaizhi left after a short time.
Liu Jinhua had been trying to speak to him alone but hadn't found an opportunity.
Seeing his elder brother leave, Ji Huailin stood up and asked the heartbroken Liu Jinhua, "Is our family really out of money?"
