Chapter 75 Chapter 75 A couple.
It was the first time Liang Lin hosted her son’s friends at home, and she was very well prepared, with what felt like a whole camp’s worth of barbecue ingredients.
Ji Huan: "I finally know who Ji Maili got the credit for for making camping like he was on a deserted island."
Liang Lin said, "They are all grown boys. If there are not enough, it would seem that our family is not hospitable enough."
In the room, Ji Maili, who had woken up early but found that he had nothing to do, sent a message to Chen Lu, asking him when he would arrive. Chen Lu said that Tao Dacheng and the others didn't know the way, so he would come with them.
Since they were guests today, Ji Maili didn't mind. He left the room, looked at Ji Huan and Liang Lin, and asked, "Where's my dad?"
Liang Lin was about to speak when Ji Kai came out.
Seeing him wearing a suit, as if he was going to a meeting, Ji Maili asked, "Dad, are you going to work?"
Ji Kai adjusted his tie and asked, "What kind of work are you doing? Don't you have friends coming over?"
Ji Maili pointed at his clothes and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Ji Huan laughed out loud: "Dad, this is important."
Ji Kai was about to say "yes" when Ji Huan said, "It's just a bit too serious. The people here today are all children, and you're dressed too seriously."
Ji Kai looked at his clothes and asked Liang Lin, "Is this inappropriate?"
Liang Lin smiled and said, "Go change. Isn't it uncomfortable to wear this at home, with a tie on?"
Ji Kai untied his tie, thought for a moment, and then took off his coat.
Around noon, people started arriving one after another. The first to arrive were the people from the sports school. Li Jun was very surprised to receive Ji Maili's invitation, but then he realized that they were going to the mayor's house and became very nervous. He even sent a message to Ji Maili in the middle of the night, asking him if he still hated him for beating him up before, and whether he called them to his house because he planned to get rid of them all at once.
Ji Maili praised him with a few words of greeting to his mother, and Li Jun felt relieved.
"Hello, uncle and aunt."
Ji Maili stood on his parents' side, and found it funny to see these people pretending to be honest. When he was laughing secretly, Li Jun pulled him to his side.
Ji Maili staggered: "You fucking——"
Ji Huan: "Ji Maili! Stop swearing all the time."
Ji Maili introduced Ji Huan to them, and Li Jun's words were as sweet as honey: "Hello, sister, you are so beautiful."
Ji Huan smiled and said, "Thank you. Let's go have fun. The barbecue items are in the freezer. Help yourselves. I'll get you some drinks."
A group of people followed Ji Maili to the backyard, out of the sight of the attackers. Several people returned to their original state: "Damn, that's the mayor. I actually came to the mayor's house."
Ji Maili: "That's enough, go light a fire."
Ji Maili was still in the backyard when a little head with pigtails popped in from the doorway. "Is Brother Mai Mai here?"
Ji Kai also turned around and saw a little girl standing at the door stealthily holding a bouquet of flowers. Liang Lin looked at the little girl blankly: "Little friend, who are you looking for?"
Tao Sijie looked at Liang Lin: "Hello, Auntie, I'm looking for Brother Mai Mai. I'm here as a guest at your house."
Liang Lin was a little confused. Ji Maili didn't say that he had such a young friend.
Ji Maili came in from the backyard: "Tao Sijie?"
Tao Sijie smiled and said, "Brother Mai Mai."
Ji Maili walked over and saw that she was alone. She asked, "Where's your brother? Why are you alone?"
Tao Sijie said: "My brother walked to the door to answer a phone call and went to pick up other people. My brother was afraid to come in, so I went in first."
Ji Maili glanced outside the door, thinking Tao Dacheng was a complete idiot, and asked again, "Are these flowers for me?"
Tao Sijie twisted her body while holding the flowers: "It's not for you, it's for your father."
Ji Kai stood there in shock for a moment: "Give it to me?"
Tao Sijie handed over the flowers: "My brother asked me to give these flowers to my uncle."
Ji Kai asked Ji Maili: "Who is his brother?"
Ji Maili said: "Shen Lu."
Liang Lin was stunned: "When did Xiaolu have a sister?"
Ji Maili said: "He's not her biological brother. Her biological brother is called Tao Dacheng. She calls her biological brother brother, calls Chen Lu brother, and calls me Brother Mai Mai."
Liang Lin felt dizzy after hearing this. Just then, Li Jun ran in to look for Ji Maili. "Isn't this Fourth Sister?"
Now Liang Lin and Ji Kai were even more confused... What did he call her?
Ji Maili handed Tao Sijie over to Li Jun and the others. They had had barbecue together last time, so the little girl was familiar with them.
Ji Maili went out to look for Chen Lu. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Tao Dacheng squatting there. He kicked Tao Dacheng and said, "What are you doing? Why don't you come in?"
Tao Dacheng quickly stood up: "Chen Lu received a call from your classmates and went out to pick them up. I was embarrassed to go in."
They were all so arrogant at school, but they were so reserved when they got to their house. Ji Maili didn't understand: "Is my house some kind of dragon pond and tiger school? Come in, the guys from the sports school are here. If you're nervous, you can have a fight with them first to loosen up your muscles."
Chen Lu went to pick up Zhou Luyang and a few girls. Ji Maili had not originally planned to invite the girls, it was all because of Zhou Luyang's loudspeaker. He asked him if he would come to his house on the weekend, but Zhou Luyang suddenly started shouting like he was having a seizure.
Liang Xiaohui heard Zhou Luyang's shouting, and she pulled Xia Yangyang to sign up. Ji Maili couldn't say no, so Liang Xiaohui asked the girls from other classes one after another if they could come together. Fortunately, she only asked those who had been to the amusement park with her last time, and there was no one he didn't know.
They were already barbecuing in the backyard when Bian Yuan and Lin Shifei arrived.
They also bought flowers and brought two bottles of wine. Ji Kai didn't want to accept them, but Chen Lu said, "Uncle, please accept them. Today's game was originally for Mai Mai to celebrate your return to the team. He wanted to welcome you home, but he was afraid that you and Auntie would not agree. He couldn't think of any other way, so he had to bring everyone home to have some fun."
Liang Lin's nose suddenly felt a little sour when she heard this: "This child."
Ji Kai sighed and took the things that Bian Yuan brought. "Thank you very much, are you also Ji Maili's friends?"
Lin Shifei said: "Mr. Ji, don't you think we look alike?"
Bian Yuan said: "Chen Lu knew us first. We only met Ji Maili last year. We can be considered friends."
Lin Shifei could play with those kids, but Bianyuan couldn't, as he found them too noisy. He was chatting with Ji Kai in the house. When Ji Kai found out that he was a doctor at the Central Hospital, he was surprised. Then they talked about the planning of the Municipal Hospital. This conversation was so exciting that neither of them could stop.
Liang Lin and Ji Huan were baking cakes in the kitchen. Liang Lin muttered quietly, "Why are Mai Mai's friends so big and so small?"
Ji Huan laughed out loud: "Who knows, I didn't have any friends before, but now I have made a bunch of random friends."
Liang Lin said to Ji Huan, "That guy named Bian Yuan, he said he's a surgeon at the Central Hospital. He looks older than you. What do you think of him?"
Ji Huan understood what Liang Lin meant and was a little speechless: "Not so good, she has a partner."
Liang Lin was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"
Ji Huan didn't know how to tell Liang Lin. This kind of thing was actually very easy to see. Whether it was their body language or the distance between them when they were talking, these two people seemed much closer than a normal relationship.
Liang Lin pressed on: "Do you know him?"
"How would I know him?" Ji Huan hesitated for a moment, then said, "He and the person who just came with him should be a couple."
The oven made a "ding" sound, and Ji Huan turned around to open the oven. The small cake was baked perfectly. Ji Huan put on gloves and took the baking tray out of the oven. When she turned around, she glanced at Liang Lin and saw that Liang Lin was still in a daze.
Ji Huan didn't know how much Liang Lin could accept this kind of thing: "Didn't you say before that your friend's child had the same problem? This kind of thing isn't that rare, is it?"
Liang Lin's voice was a little hoarse: "Isn't it strange? What will others think of them?"
Ji Huan asked, "So what do you think of them? Do you feel disgusted? Or will you stop Mai Mai from associating with them?"
Liang Lin frowned: "Of course I won't. What kind of people they are has nothing to do with me."
"That's all," Ji Huan said. "They're doctors now, and they're considered successful. They don't steal or rob, they live their own lives, and they make their own friends. What's the difference between them and other people?"
Liang Lin: "That being said, but..."
"Mom," Ji Huan sighed, "Life is your own. You can't control so much, and there's no way you can control so much. Who knows what the future will be like?"
