Mrs. Ji sat next to her and cautiously asked, "Pengfei, have you been busy lately?"
Ji Pengfei still didn't raise his eyes: "Yeah."
“…”
The atmosphere became awkward again, and Mrs. Ji felt a little uncomfortable. She lifted her trouser leg and looked at the scar on her leg.
The fire left particularly obvious burns on her legs, which were very ugly.
Mrs. Ji felt a little inferior and couldn't help but think a lot.
After struggling for a while, she hesitated to speak: "Pengfei, you have been too cold to me recently, and you don't care about Xia Xia that much anymore. When Xia Xia had that incident, you were busy with company matters and didn't go to the hospital to see the child..."
Ji Pengfei finally looked up and looked at her impatiently: "Are you too idle to do anything? You just think about useless things all day long!"
“…”
Ji Pengfei's bad attitude shocked Mrs. Ji and also shocked Ji Zhixia who was eating dumplings next to him.
There was still a wound on Ji Zhixia's face, and Mrs. Ji did not put down the trouser leg she had lifted up, revealing the burn.
Look at this family, there are only three people, two of whom are injured.
The more Ji Pengfei thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and finally he took his anger out on Mrs. Ji.
"The company has just started, and I'm already incredibly busy. It's one thing for you not to help me with work, but you're constantly causing me trouble."
"I provide you with food and clothing, and give you money to buy this and that all day long. What else do you want? I asked you to take care of Xia Xia, but you couldn't even do it, and you still have the nerve to say that I won't go to the hospital to see Xia Xia? Isn't it all your fault that Xia Xia has become like this? What qualifications do you have to criticize me!"
"I'm busy enough all day long, and you still think I don't have enough to do, so you try to find ways to annoy me every day, right?"
“…”
Ji Pengfei's sudden anger scared Mrs. Ji so much that she trembled again and again. Ji Pengfei had been the only one who had been supporting this family for so many years. Mrs. Ji did not have a prominent family to help him, and her status in the family was already a little weak. Now she was accused and scolded by Ji Pengfei with righteous words, and she was so scared that she dared not think about anything. She just pulled Ji Pengfei's sleeve and apologized carefully.
"Pengfei, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Please forgive me."
"I...I just care about you too much. I'm afraid you don't care about me and Xia Xia as much as before..."
Ji Pengfei used to be okay, at least he would come home on time every day after work. But since Ji Pengfei left Ji's company to establish Pengfei Group, his worst case scenario was that he would only come home once a week, and then leave after taking a document.
Mrs. Ji didn't want to think too much about it, but Ji Pengfei's actions really made her think too much.
“…” Ji Pengfei looked at Mrs. Ji with disgust. There was no softness or heartache in his eyes, only impatience.
He raised his big hand and impatiently pushed Madam Ji away: "Go away, cry somewhere else if you want to, don't delay my meal!"
She started making trouble on the first day of the Lunar New Year and didn't let him have a good meal of dumplings.
“…”Mrs. Ji sat beside her, crying silently.
Ji Zhixia saw her parents arguing in front of her, especially her father's attitude. She didn't dare to take the initiative to seek death. She just held the plate and ate dumplings silently.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong--" The doorbell rang at the door, and someone came.
Mrs. Ji quickly wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, and hurried to open the door.
"Lily?" Mrs. Ji was surprised to see the person coming.
