Ji's mother sighed in disappointment, not understanding where Ji Qing's confidence came from.
She has been growing up with me since she was little, so how come she hasn't learned any tricks from me?
At this moment, the sound of a key opening the door was heard.
Ji Qing thought it was Ji Nian who came back, so he snorted coldly, sat on the sofa, and ate snacks by himself, not wanting to get up.
But I never expected that the person who opened the door was my stepfather who was on an out-of-town inspection.
Ji's mother walked quickly forward, took the briefcase from Ji's father's hand, took off his coat, spread it flat and hung it next to him.
She had a proper smile on her face: "Why are you back so early?
Didn’t you say before that it would take two more days?”
“Things over there have been resolved, so I came back early.
I can hear your voices from far away. What are you talking about? What happened?"
Ji Qing stood up from the sofa and kept winking at her mother.
She didn't want her mother to tell this.
But Ji's mother had her own ideas. She bent down to help Ji's father take off his shoes and said with a smile, "Oh, it's just a joke between two kids.
Didn't Qingqing and Nian Nian both take the college entrance exam? They wanted to see who did better.
Several children who usually come to the house were there, and they were chatting away. When they got excited, two of them started making bets.
It just so happened that the daughter of the old Wen family was there, and she said she wanted to get involved as well.
Qingqing is also a brave girl. Didn’t she always want to be a diplomat?
I just wanted to be the student of the wife of the old Wen family. Alas, it’s also my fault that I didn’t keep an eye on them and let them have such a big fun.”
"Oh? Why is it related to the old Wen family?"
Ji's mother briefly recounted what had happened before.
There was no mention of Ji Qing's contempt for JIAN JIAN.
She sighed heavily, "I also put my pocket money on the line. I calculated it and it's still a pretty big sum.
I originally thought that Nian Nian had some resentment in her heart because she had been living in the countryside for so many years.
That's why I made this request. Later, when I heard that it was the daughter of the old Wen family who made the request, I agreed to it.
Anyway, I have been holding my salary for so many years. No matter who wins or loses, isn’t this money still for my two daughters? "
She acted like a loving mother and seemed to be doing it for the good of her two children, but in fact she was trying to flatter Ji's father in both overt and covert ways.
Isn't it obvious that after going to the countryside, Ji Nian felt resentful towards his family and told others about all the family scandals?
Ji's father is a traditional man at heart. He has always believed that no matter how big the quarrel at home is, the scandal should not be spread outside.
Behind closed doors, the family can say whatever they want, but if it is made public, people will just laugh at them.
Therefore, when Ji's father refuted him in the compound in front of so many people, he was so angry.
Mother Ji raised her eyes slightly and looked at Father Ji's frowning brows, feeling extremely proud.
She was going to bring up the matter and talk about two little kids having a tantrum.
If the situation really cannot be resolved by then, Ji's father will step in.
With a few words of mediation, she didn't believe that Ji Nian would ask for her money!!!
If my daughter wins, everyone will be happy...
Father Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Qing who was standing there, and did not miss the flash of panic in her eyes.
He immediately understood, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Originally, the two children were quarreling, and the adults just said a few words and it was over.
But now the daughter of the old Wen family has been involved, and if we try to shirk responsibility later, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
So you keep this in mind, no matter who wins, we have to keep our promise."
Ji's mother's smile froze on her face, but it only lasted for a moment.
She quickly adjusted her facial expression and responded repeatedly: “That’s because, especially as teachers, they value commitment the most.
Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on this matter when the time comes."
It happened that Jian Ji came back at this time. The moment she saw her father, her heart began to be moved.
The moment he saw the mother and daughter again, the warmth in his heart gradually dissipated.
During the time she was away, the mother and daughter didn't know what to do with her.
Remembering Wen Sihe's previous instructions, Ji Nian suppressed his irritability and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly: "Dad!"
Father Ji nodded gently: “I’m back, I’ve heard about you and your sister.
When the kid from the Wen family wanted to get involved, you should have stopped him.
After all, this is not a small amount of money. Your stepmother has been running the family for so many years, so how could she have so much money left? "
Ji Nian glanced coldly at the mother and daughter. The coldness in her eyes made Ji Qing's heart tremble slightly.
The next moment, Ji Nian's cold and calm voice was heard: "Then why didn't father ask who proposed the bet first?
It was my good sister who first proposed this to Wen Sihe, hoping that her mother would accept her as a student.
My father thought that it was a great honor for a professor from Kyoto University to accept her as a student just because of a bet.
Isn't Wen Sihe making this request just to make her give up?
But what about her? She tried to hold on to her promise. Didn't she just calculate that I didn't do as well as she did?
Yes, I admit that during the more than seven years I spent in the countryside, I spent six and a half years doing farm work.
I got up at five in the morning and the bell for work rang at seven.
I was eating brown rice and carrying a heavy load, and sometimes I didn’t even have time to drink water.
Of course, it is not as relaxing as when she is sitting in the classroom studying."
When Jin Yi said this, his nose felt sore and his eyes were red.
Father Ji's words were stuck in his throat.
Looking at his daughter walking into the house with her head down, the sound of the door closing heavily was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.
Ji's mother was extremely angry, but she couldn't show it on her face.
She quickly took two steps and said with great guilt, "For so many years, you blamed me.
I just heard Qingqing mention it a few times. I shouldn’t have told you so quickly. I should have made things clear first, and I wouldn’t have let you two, father and daughter…”
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.
Father Ji retracted his gaze, held his forehead and sighed: "Let's leave it at that for now!"
The tender flesh inside Ji Qing's lips was almost bitten off. Wasn't Jinian the most disdainful of arguing in the past?
How come he's like a different person now?
She even knows how to play the victim in front of her father...
