Du Hai embezzled a large sum of funds from Ji's company, which was discovered by Ji Bailin. Now the situation is difficult to resolve. 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, away from her hometown, and Mrs. Ji did not show up.
Now, Mrs. Ji's appearance here just proves that she knows her situation, which is very interesting.
Du Ruo walked to the seat by the window. Mrs. Ji stretched out her snow-white jade hands to cover her chest and fell half-softly 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, sat down by herself, poured a cup of tea and sipped it. She really couldn't appreciate this kind of performance. Not laughing was already giving face to her biological mother.
Seeing that Du Ruo was indifferent to Mrs. Ji, Ji Yuan frowned 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 met 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 innocent, kind and sentimental.
Seeing that Du Ruo ignored her, a trace of panic flashed in Mrs. Ji's eyes. She looked at Ji Yuan helplessly, and the grievance in her eyes almost overflowed.
Ji Yuan's heart sank into a ball. He patted his wife's hand soothingly and said to Du Ruo, "Your mother has missed you very much all these years. She has tried her best to make it up to you. I heard that your uncle's family raised you and treated you very well. Your mother has always wanted to repay their kindness. This is all for you."
Du Ruo found it funny. She and her son had lived such a hard life before, and she even fainted from exhaustion in the workshop. Her biological mother's way of loving her was to repay others first.
Du Ruo said, "There's no need for anyone else to interfere with the grudges between my great uncle's family and me. I've already repaid their kindness. I've already said that I'm done with them."
Does she need others to help her repay her gratitude?
Madam Ji exclaimed, "Ruoruo, how can you say that? They raised you, their kindness is greater than the sky, how can you talk like that? Who taught you that?"
Du Ruo looked at her, shrugged and said, "I thought of 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 seriously, "Ruoruo, money is something outside of your 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 filled with affection as she glanced at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's eyes held a smile as he 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 flushed, and she said shyly: "I want to find the man in my dream. 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 bear to listen any longer. She didn't have the same train of thought as the two of them, so she asked directly, "Mr. Ji, 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 similar in temperament to his wife, gentle 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. A-Lin won't let him go, and I really can't convince him. I heard that you have started a company now. As his elder sister, you should be more tolerant and help your cousin pay off his debt first. I will slowly persuade A-Lin."
Du Ruo said, "I don't understand what you are saying. Du Hai embezzled the Ji family's money. That's your business. Either send him to jail or take the responsibility 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 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, child? You stink of money. Money is just something outside of your body. Why do you take it so seriously?"
Du Ruo didn't want to say anything more. She said, "I have nothing to do with you. Either you go to court and sue me and make me pay back the money, or we don't see each other anymore. I'm waiting for the court summons."
Mrs. Ji sat in her seat blankly, watching Du Ruo's figure disappear at the door, and cried inconsolably in Ji Yuan's arms.
How did Ruoruo become like this? She remembered that her daughter was a petite and pretty girl when she was little, with a sweet smile that melted people's hearts.
Why did his temper become like this now? His clear eyes scared her, as if they could see through all her thoughts, making her feel 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 ask the court to order Ruoruo to pay back the money."
That is definitely impossible. Uncle Du's family has no legal relationship with Du Ruo. 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 in her eyes: "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 got into trouble."
Ji Yuan stroked her back gently and said, "Alin is our biological son. Didn't he give in last time? This time, I'll try to talk to him again. Don't be anxious."
After leaving the hotel, Du Ruo got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.
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 mess happened to her.
Asking her to pay back the money? How ridiculous! She felt that she was lucky in her previous life because she had never met this woman and saved herself from getting 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. How kind and weak?
