Oh wow!
The Ji family employees who hadn't completely left seemed to have heard a huge secret: Young Chairman Ji was closer to Manager Song than to his own mother!
Indeed, who wouldn't be moved by a stepmother who always puts others first? As for the biological mother, she's been a long-time employee at the Ji family business, and we've heard some rumors about her in the past. It's hard to say for sure, but Young Master Ji is definitely not wrong.
However, some people have begun to worry about Song Xia. Although Xiao Ji Dong is close to you now, she is still your biological mother. She needs you now and is protecting you, but when she no longer needs you, won't she still be closer to her biological mother?
Ji Jianfei obviously won't go home, nor is it possible for him to have another child with you. Besides, it would be too late to compete with Xiao Ji Dong for another child. However, Manager Song is so capable that she will definitely leave herself a way out.
Ordinary employees were unaware of the agreement between Song Xia and Grandpa Ji. After spending these days together, many people were worried about her, which shows her personal charm.
"Xiao Ye, do you hate your mother that much?" Mei Xue looked hurt. "Mom just wants to correct her past mistakes. Please give Mom a chance."
"I have class later, I don't have time to listen to what you're saying."
Mei Xue took a deep breath: "Then let me make this short. I'm going to renovate your room. Do you have any requests or preferences? I've also picked out some household items with your sister. You can come stay with me whenever you have time."
Ji Ye's eyes were full of mockery: "Then they probably don't have time."
After saying that, he pulled Song Xia away and left without giving Mei Xue a chance to speak.
Mei Xue stomped her feet in anger. Just wait and see, she refused to believe that he wouldn't come back to her side one day. What was Song Xia anyway? Just someone who worked for the Ji family.
She had to find a way to break through; she couldn't let Song Xia and Ji Ye lead her around all day, brainwashing people. Someone else had to step in.
"Mom, who were you chatting with so happily just now?"
“A friend of my mother’s from when she was young lost contact with her after she married and moved to H City. Today, I was planning to reconnect with her, but I didn’t expect that she also plans to return to A City.”
Mei Jiao's eyes darted around: "After all these years, why did you suddenly decide to come back?"
"Firstly, she was divorced, and secondly, her parents were in poor health, so she made this decision."
"Even if she's a friend from a long time ago, are you this happy that she's coming back?"
“Of course, it’s not just this.” Mei Xue showed her daughter a photo. “Look, this is her daughter. Isn’t she beautiful? She’s the same age as your brother.”
Mei Jiao carefully examined the person on the phone: "Mom, do you mean you want to introduce her to my brother?"
“Hmm.” Mei Xue told her daughter about her plan. “Your brother is obviously bewitched by that woman Song Xia. We can’t just sit here and wait to die. Since we can’t get into the Ji family’s house, we’ll send someone else in.”
"But the Ji family wouldn't agree to a marriage alliance at this time, would they?"
"Who said we were going to have a marriage alliance? It's normal for young men and women to develop feelings for each other when they spend so much time together at school. Once your brother falls for this girl, he'll naturally become closer to us, won't he? There's plenty of time before we get married, so what's the rush?"
Mei Jiao seemed to have discovered a secret: "Mom, you didn't really intend to bring them together?"
Mei Xue looked at him with disdain: "Why do you think she rushed back after the divorce? Wasn't it because her ex-husband went bankrupt? Although she kept some assets, and only has one daughter, it's still not as good as the Ji family."
Mei Jiao understood the situation, so she became less resistant.
"After they come back, her daughter will transfer to your brother's school and class. By the way, you and your brother are in the same school, although in different grades, but you should be able to hear some rumors. Does your brother have a female classmate he likes at school?"
Mei Jiao frowned: "I haven't heard of any girl that my brother likes on his own initiative. I've only heard that there's a special student from a poor family who keeps asking about my brother, and it seems that he's even had a conflict with one of my brother's classmates."
"Special admissions students from poor families?" Mei Xue said with disdain. "Why would a girl like that choose to come to your school? You can guess her purpose: to marry a rich man. She's really shameless. Although your brother doesn't approve of her, girls like that have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. You should be a little careful at school."
"Okay, I understand, Mom."
On the other side, on the way back to the Ji family home, Ji Ye apologized to Song Xia: "Aunt Song, I'm sorry."
Song Xia chuckled: "You're apologizing to me on behalf of your mother? Does that mean we're becoming estranged?"
Ji Ye quickly explained, "No, Aunt Song, I didn't mean that."
Okay, let's stop teasing him. His flustered reaction is quite amusing.
Hearing his thoughts, Ji Ye breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that Aunt Song would misunderstand.
"It's alright, I never take these things to heart. We've known each other for so long, don't we understand each other?"
These words made Ji Ye feel a little guilty. After all, Aunt Song couldn't hear his thoughts, but he could hear hers, which was too unfair to her.
Ji Ye opened his mouth as if to speak, but in the end he didn't have the courage. He hadn't said it at first, and now that he was revealing it, Aunt Song would only be angrier. No one wants their true feelings to be known by others. This secret could only be kept in his heart for the rest of his life.
"Aunt Song, thank you."
"Why thank me? But if you really want to express your gratitude..." Song Xia smiled and glanced at him, "Then help me walk the dog when you have time. Xiao Wu is getting more and more active, and sometimes I really can't stand its mischief."
Mentioning Xiao Wu, Ji Ye's eyes were full of smiles: "She is indeed naughty and bold, and has bothered Aunt Wu many times."
"I guess he knows he has powerful backers. This little rascal, if I really want to teach him a lesson, I can't bear to do it because of his pitiful look."
As they spoke, the car drove back to the villa. As soon as the car door opened, Xiao Wu rushed over, wagging its tail and licking Song Xia, being incredibly obedient.
"You, I just can't do anything with you."
Looking at how the person and the dog got along, Ji Ye began to feel sorry for Aunt Song. Such a precious time was wasted on the Ji family. By the time he was truly capable of taking over the Ji family business, Aunt Song would already be past the age of marriage and childbearing. Would Aunt Song still have her own children then?
Thinking about all this, Ji Ye felt a tightness in his chest. Although many young people nowadays don't like to get married and don't plan to have children, is Aunt Song one of them?
Others might not have children because they don't like them, or they might be afraid of the pressure of raising them. But with Aunt Song's abilities, there's no reason why she can't afford to raise them. As for her love for children, even she loves them so much, let alone her own children.
In short, no matter what, he couldn't let Aunt Song down, and he would definitely take care of her in her old age no matter what.
