Chapter 72 Kind and Weak Mother

Du Hai embezzled a large sum of funds from Ji's company, which was discovered by Ji Bailin. Now it is difficult to resolve the situation. Twenty years later, because of this incident, Du Ruo met his biological mother, Mrs. Ji, for the first time.

Du Ruo found it a little funny. In her previous life, she lost her beloved son, but Madam Ji did not show up.

She wandered alone, leaving her hometown, and Mrs. Ji did not show up.

Now, Mrs. Ji's appearance here proves that she knows her own situation, which is very interesting.

Du Ruo walked to the seat by the window. Mrs. Ji stretched out her snow-white hands to cover her chest and half-fell into Ji Yuan's arms.

Mrs. Ji looked at Du Ruo with eyes full of love and sadness. Tears flowed down her white jade cheeks like strings of pearls. Ji Yuan comforted her softly with heartache.

Du Ruo raised her eyebrows, she sat down by herself, poured herself a cup of tea and sipped it. She really couldn't appreciate this kind of performance, and she didn't laugh, which was already giving face to this biological mother.

Seeing that Du Ruo was indifferent to Mrs. Ji, Ji Yuan's brows wrinkled unconsciously. He gently helped his wife sit on the chair, and after sitting down, he looked at Du Ruo.

He had known about Du Ruo's existence for a long time and had seen her photos, but this was the first time he saw her in person.

Du Ruo's face is somewhat similar to her biological mother's, but her temperament is very different.

Mrs. Ji was delicate and fragile, as lovable as a dodder. Whenever she shed tears, Ji Yuan's heart ached.

Her son Ji Bailin was also very tolerant of his mother. She was spoiled by both father and son for many years. Mrs. Ji became more naive, kind and sentimental.

Seeing that Du Ruo ignored her, Mrs. Ji's eyes flashed with panic. She looked at Ji Yuan helplessly, the grievance in her eyes almost overflowing.

Ji Yuan's heart shrank into a ball. He patted his wife's hand soothingly and said to Du Ruo, "Your mother has missed you all these years and she has tried her best to compensate you. I heard that your uncle's family raised you and treated you very well. Your mother has always wanted to repay their kindness, all for you."

Du Ruo found it funny. She and her son had lived such a hard life before, and she even fainted in the workshop from exhaustion. But her biological mother's way of loving her was to repay others first.

Du Ruo said: "There is no need for others to interfere in the grievances between my great uncle's family and me. I have already repaid their kindness. I have said long ago that I have settled my grievances with them."

Does she need others to repay her kindness?

Madam Ji exclaimed in surprise: "Ruoruo, how can you say that? They raised you, their kindness is greater than the sky, how can you say that? Who taught you that?"

Du Ruo looked at her and shrugged, "I just thought about it myself. My mother ran away, my father died, my house was occupied by someone, and my savings were taken away. I live like a weed. I have to rely on myself, right?"

Madam Ji put down her handkerchief and said to Du Ruo in a serious tone, "Ruo Ruo, money is only a thing outside of one's body. Don't be fooled by it. Human feelings cannot be bought with any amount of money. You should put feelings first."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes were full of affection as she glanced at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan had a smile in his eyes and gently stroked the back of Mrs. Ji's hand.

Du Ruo asked curiously: "Since you think money is not important, why did you run away back then?"

Mrs. Ji's face was flushed, and she said shyly: "I want to find the man of my dreams. For him, I am not afraid of anything."

Ji Yuan looked at his wife lovingly and said to Du Ruo, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. It was God who guided your mother to find me. This is all my fault."

Du Ruo really couldn't listen any more. She didn't have the same train of thought as these two people, so she asked directly, "Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji, do you want to talk to me about something?"

There was some disappointment in Ji Yuan's eyes. He thought his wife's daughter would be very similar to his wife in temperament, weak and beautiful. Who knew she would be so hard-hearted?

Mrs. Ji said, "Ruoruo, please help your cousin. He made a mistake and embezzled some of the Ji family's funds. Ah Lin won't let him go, and I really can't convince him. I heard that you have opened a company now. You are the elder sister, so please be more tolerant and help your cousin pay off the debt first. I will slowly convince Ah Lin."

Du Ruo said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. Du Hai embezzled the Ji family's money. That's your business. Either send him to jail or take care of it yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

Mrs. Ji's beautiful eyes widened: "It was because of you that I persuaded A-Lin to let Du Hai join the Ji family company. How could it have nothing to do with you?"

Du Ruo said: "When did I ever ask you to repay my kindness? Not to mention that they didn't do me any favors."

Mrs. Ji said angrily, "Why are you like this, kid? You stink of money. Money is just a thing outside of one's body. Why do you think so highly of it?"

Du Ruo no longer wanted to say anything. She said, "I have nothing to do with you. Either you sue me in court and make me pay you back, or we don't want to see each other again. I'm waiting for the court summons."

Mrs. Ji sat in her seat in a daze, watching Du Ruo's figure disappear at the door, and cried in Ji Yuan's arms.

How did Ruoruo become like this? She remembered that her daughter was a pretty little girl when she was young, with a sweet smile that could melt anyone's heart.

How come his temper has become like this now? His clear and cold eyes scared her, as if they could see through all her thoughts and made her at a loss.

Mrs. Ji wiped her tears and said, "What should we do now? We can't convince Ruoruo, and A-Lin is determined to pursue the matter. We can't really let the court order Ruoruo to pay back the money, right?"

That is definitely impossible. Uncle Du's family has no legal relationship with Du Ruo. Even they have no legal relationship with Du Ruo. This matter has nothing to do with Du Ruo. They can only play the emotional card with Du Ruo.

Ji Yuan frowned.

Mrs. Ji said with tears streaming down her face: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, the old man wouldn't have been able to hand over the company to A-Lin without you. It's all because of me that you've been implicated."

Ji Yuan stroked her back and said, "Ah Lin is our biological son. Didn't he give in last time? This time, I'll try to talk to him again. Don't worry."

After leaving the hotel, Du Ruo got into the car and stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away in a cloud of dust.

It would be a lie to say that it didn't affect her mood. She just thought it was ridiculous and funny. She had never left her hometown in her life, and all kinds of messes happened to her.

Ask her to pay back the money? That's ridiculous. She thinks she was lucky in her life and never met this woman. She doesn't need to be angry.

What's even more ridiculous is that when this woman met Feng Pei, she didn't even mention a word about her biological mother, who was kind and weak?
