Chapter 6 Am I a Brother-Supporting Demon?
The pot was still steaming, and the table was a mess.
"Zhizhi" is the affectionate nickname the couple used when they first got together.
Ji Huaizhi found it amusing and reached out to tidy her messy hair.
While Ji Huaizhi was busy at the company, his father called.
Ji Huaizhi got up and went to the outer corridor.
He was prepared for their anger.
"What's going on with your bank card?" Ji Junsong asked, trying his best to suppress his anger.
“My bank card was at risk; the money the company was paying me wouldn’t go through, so I canceled it and got a new one,” Ji Huaizhi said calmly.
Hearing his son say this, Mr. Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Then bring the card over now. Your brother bought a car this morning but couldn't swipe the card. He went to the bank and they said the card was invalid. Your mother even made a fuss about it."
"Hurry up and send the money over; we're waiting here to sign the bill."
Ji Huaizhi, still wearing his employee badge around his neck, said, "I had no money left in my account, so I withdrew it to buy a house."
"What?"
"You bought a house?"
The other party mumbled something incomprehensible, but they were clearly agitated: "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us?"
"You and Mom aren't contributing any money, so why should we discuss this with you?"
"Eldest son! Where did you buy it? Did Dong Shuxiang force you to?" Liu Jinhua snatched the phone away.
Ji Junsong then realized that his son seemed to be very cold towards them lately.
Ji Huaizhi looked around the company and realized someone was calling him. He raised his hand to indicate that he had heard them.
"No, I bought it myself. A colleague recommended it, and I thought it was good, so I bought it."
"I have something to do, so I'll hang up now. We can talk later."
Liu Jinhua kept calling out into the phone, "Hello? Hello?"
"He hung up?" Ji Huailin asked anxiously. "No, how did he buy a house? Has he spent all his money?"
Ji Junsong's expression was grim: "It must have been Dong Shuxiang who instigated this. I didn't expect she could actually bewitch the boss!"
"Let's go! To their house!"
"Ask them properly, do they even care about us, their parents?"
Ji Huaizhi knew they wouldn't sit still, so he first called his mother-in-law.
When Dong's mother received the call from her son-in-law, she was quite puzzled, as he never called her first.
"Huaizhi? Has something happened?"
"It's okay, Mom. Shushu and I just bought a house, right? We'll come over for dinner tonight to celebrate."
Ji Huaizhi's words pleased Dong's mother; "Great! Will your dad cook something delicious for you tonight?"
"Just grab a couple of vegetarian dishes, I'll pack two to go later."
"Why waste that money?" Mrs. Dong said cheerfully, "We've got nothing to do anyway, so we'll go to the market for a stroll later!"
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Dong stood behind him and asked, "Is our daughter coming over tonight?"
"Your son-in-law is coming too, let's go, let's go to the market!"
The three members of the Ji family waited for a long time at the door of the rented house, but they didn't expect that the other family members didn't come back after get off work.
They didn't answer the phone. Dong Shuxiang might have blocked them, but what about Ji Huaizhi?
Ji Huailin was furious because he couldn't buy a car.
She was getting so hungry from waiting that she kicked the door in frustration: "I'm not waiting anymore! Let's go eat!"
"Why!"
Ji Junsong frowned: "What's wrong with you? We'll find out more when we see your brother."
"What's the use of spending all the money? You're not even willing to give me your money to spend!" Ji Huailin was almost in tears: "I've already said I'm going to buy a car, and if I don't, I'll be so embarrassed at work."
"Alright, let's go back first." Ji Junsong's expression was also not good.
This was the first time they had ever been humiliated by their boss.
After finishing their meal, the couple rode their electric scooter back home.
Ji Huaizhi's tall figure looked somewhat comical sitting in the back, but the two of them were clearly in good spirits.
"Why did you decide to go to my parents' house for dinner?"
Ji Huaizhi's hair was blown up, revealing his large forehead. Because his legs were so long, he was bending over and looked a little uncomfortable: "Are you unhappy?"
Dong Shuxiang gripped the handlebars and twisted the accelerator: "Happy!"
While waiting at the traffic light, a black BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi happened to be parked next to them. Dong Shuxiang looked over and said, "We've bought the house, next we'll buy a car."
Ji Huaizhi also looked over, and their faces were reflected in the black glass.
He couldn't resist making empty promises to his wife: "I'll buy you an even better car than this someday."
Dong Shuxiang couldn't help but laugh: "Then I'll be waiting."
"Don't keep me waiting too long."
No, it won't.

Ji Huaizhi was sitting in his cousin's restaurant.
My cousin's wife was at the front desk wiping things with a rag, glancing in Ji Huaizhi's direction every now and then.
"Huaizhi, I'm so sorry the shop was so busy, I kept you waiting for so long."
Ji Huaizhi put down his teacup: "It's nothing, cousin. You should know why I'm looking for you. I'm a little short on cash lately, and I need to get back the 100,000 yuan I lent you before."
My cousin gave an awkward laugh: "Huaizhi, business is tough right now, I'll give you five thousand to use first."
"When I have more money, I'll give it to you, okay?"
Ji Huaizhi looked at him.
Her eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, which made her cousin feel awkward.
"I heard you're moving? If you have money to buy a house, why not pay off this debt first? If I could wait, I wouldn't have taken time off work to come see you."
My cousin scratched his head and gave his wife a wink.
How did the news about buying a house reach his ears?
"Huaizhi, I heard from your mother that you still have some money, right? Why don't you wait a little longer?" His sister-in-law didn't expect him to press for repayment.
"It's not that we don't want to pay it back, it's just that we don't have the time or resources."
You know, they've been borrowing this money for so long, and they've never actively pressed for more.
"As you all know, Shushu and I have been married for so long and we're still renting an apartment. I used that money to buy a house, so this money can't be delayed."
The two exchanged a glance and gave an awkward laugh: "You bought a house? Congratulations!"
"Yeah, congratulations." My cousin looked around awkwardly. "Here's what we'll do: give me your bank account number, and I'll try to transfer the money to you."
Ji Huaizhi didn't give them any face: "You all have the money to move to a new house, so you definitely don't need to scrape together any money."
"I don't want interest on this loan, I only want the principal."
"If it hasn't been transferred by tomorrow, I won't be speaking to you so calmly. After all, you're in business, and reputation matters."
My cousin's wife was displeased: "That's an unpleasant thing to say. Is it really necessary?"
"It's not like we're rich and don't want to pay back what we owe."
My cousin tugged at his wife.
The two men were also feeling guilty: "I'll transfer the money to you in a bit, brother, there's no need."
