Chapter 356
Ji Xingguo thought that his daughter's plan was really cunning.
He forbade her to meet Lei Tingjun privately, but she brazenly brought him to Pingdong City and met Lei Tingjun in front of him.
They even went so far as to say that it was to let him understand Lei Tingjun's character and career better.
This little girl is getting more and more opinionated as she grows up; she even fooled her own father.
Ji Xingguo couldn't be angry with his daughter, so he vented his frustration on Lei Tingjun, giving him a heavy snort as he passed by.
Thunder Army: "..."
When Ji Xingguo carried luggage in the past, he didn't have much. Apart from some clothes, it was mostly daily necessities for a short trip to escape the summer heat.
Ji Wanmei also brought her own handbag, which was filled with many things.
Lei Tingjun watched for a while, then walked up to Ji Xingguo without hesitation and said, "Director Ji, where are you going? Should I find a car to take you?"
Ji Xingguo was unmoved and said directly, "No need, you go about your business. Where we go is our business."
Ji Wanmei walked beside Ji Xingguo, carrying her bag. As long as she didn't take the initiative to talk to Lei Tingjun and treated him like air, it wouldn't count as meeting him.
Since Ji Xingguo has replied to him, it is now a matter between Ji Xingguo and Lei Tingjun.
Ji Xingguo walked in the middle, and Ji Wanmei walked to his right. Lei Tingjun couldn't talk to Ji Wanmei in front of Ji Xingguo, nor could he walk next to her, so he could only walk to Ji Xingguo's left.
It looks like a pair of younger people facing their elders as they move forward.
Walking through the bustling train hall, the scene was surprisingly harmonious and warm.
Lei Tingjun occasionally glanced at Ji Wanmei, who was separated from him by Ji Xingguo, but he still didn't quite understand what her attitude meant today.
He received the letter and things she asked Ah-Qiang to bring back to him last month, of course.
The reason he didn't reply was that if he sent the letter to Ji Wanmei's house, Ji Xingguo might find out and fly into a rage, forbidding them from seeing each other again. That would only worsen their relationship.
Lei Tingjun knew that Ji Xingguo's attitude as a father was very important to Ji Wanmei; he was her most important family member.
Without her father's blessing and approval, she would be very unhappy even if she ended up with him in the future.
Lei Tingjun genuinely cares about Ji Wanmei and truly loves her, so naturally he doesn't want Ji Wanmei to be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position.
He would rather endure it himself than let Ji Wanmei suffer.
However, when Lei Tingjun actually saw that Ji Wanmei ignored him, he still felt extremely frustrated and upset.
He didn't seem to be doing as well as he thought. She was ignoring him, which must mean he did something to upset her and make her angry.
Lei Tingjun reached out to take the suitcase from Ji Xingguo's hand: "Let me help you carry it."
Ji Xingguo clicked his tongue: "Who asked you to carry it? Can't I carry it myself? What, do you think I'm too old and my body can't handle it?"
Lei Tingjun was speechless for a long time before saying, "That's not what I meant."
Lei Tingjun glanced at Ji Wanmei again, observing Ji Xingguo's reaction. After hesitating for a long time, he still did not rashly help Ji Wanmei carry things in front of Ji Xingguo.
But at this moment, Ji Wanmei complained, "Dad, this bag is too heavy. My hands are all red from the pressure, and I can't lift it. Can you help me carry it?"
Ji Xingguo has always been a doting father to his daughter, and his approach to her education has always been to spoil her. So, he naturally grants her every request.
Without saying a word, he took the bag from Ji Wanmei's shoulder and carried it himself.
Now, Ji Xingguo was carrying a rather heavy suitcase by himself, while also carrying Ji Wanmei's bag in his other hand.
Although Ji Wanmei's bag didn't contain many items, it wasn't actually light.
Knowing that the train journey was long and the weather was hot, she bought two bottles of soda beforehand and put them in her bag. The soda bottles were glass, so they were a bit heavy.
In addition, she is used to putting all her personal belongings in her handbag when she goes out, so that she can take them out at any time. Therefore, this bag has everything.
Ji Xingguo can carry one suitcase just right, but it's a bit inconvenient if he also carries a bag in one hand.
After all, he was over fifty years old and his figure had started to become slightly plump. As soon as he stepped out of the train station, he was exposed to the scorching sun, and Ji Xingguo was soon covered in sweat.
Seeing this, Lei Tingjun said, "Director Ji, I know a stir-fry restaurant outside the train station. The food is pretty good. I'll take you there. It's not far; just walk straight ahead."
Ji Xingguo was also a stubborn person; if Lei Tingjun recommended a good restaurant, he would refuse to go.
"We'll eat wherever we want, it's none of your business. Get out of here and stop getting in our way."
Lei Tingjun was quite helpless. He could see that Ji Xingguo and Ji Wanmei, father and daughter, seemed to be deliberately competing with each other in secret.
Originally, the small stir-fry restaurant that Lei Tingjun had mentioned would be right outside the train station, but Ji Xingguo, refusing to listen to Lei Tingjun's advice, preferred to go the long way around the street to eat at a restaurant further away.
After walking for a while, Ji Xingguo, carrying his luggage, was starting to get a little tired.
Ji Wanmei watched her father panting and trying to be strong with a leisurely air, and asked 'considerately', "Dad, can't you lift it anymore? Why don't you give it to me and I'll carry it."
"Who said that? I can lift it! It's just that the sun is too strong, that's why I'm sweating. Your dad is old but still strong, I'm very powerful!" Ji Xingguo said stubbornly.
