Xu Fang didn't say anything. Ji Ke kept crying, explaining herself and apologizing.

Ji Yong had a headache after seeing this, "Okay, go back to your room first. Your mother is not angry with you, she just hasn't come to her senses yet."

"Dad." Ji Ke stood there with red and swollen eyes, not daring to move.

"Your mother wants to save face and won't give in. She doesn't want your sister's affairs to be known to the outside world. If you find the Zhu family now, she will feel that they are making fun of her. Okay, be careful next time."

Only then did Ji Ke walk away, looking back every few steps.

Ji Yong looked at his wife, "You have always loved Xiaoke. The reason she did this today is because you usually pamper her. She is too naive. She has already taken the college entrance examination, but now she is still like a child. I have already told her about this matter. She said she will not do it again in the future. Don't take it to heart. The Zhu family is not that kind of family."

"The Zhu family is not that kind of family, but what Ji Ke did doesn't stop others from thinking so." Xu Fang turned her back, not wanting her husband to see her crying. "Things have already come to this. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I know what's going on."

She had been deceiving herself, thinking that if she didn't say anything, people outside wouldn't know that her relationship with her eldest daughter was tense, and she could even deceive the Zhu family.

She thought it was too simple. How could such a thing be hidden?

This is a buried landmine. If you keep walking along here, you will step on it one day.

Ji Yong did not try to persuade her much. That night, he felt his wife tossing and turning from time to time while half asleep and half awake. He knew that she had insomnia and was just too sleepy, so she fell asleep again. When he woke up the next day, she was already dead.

Ji Ling was in class at school. When she saw Wang Sanmei during the break, she was surprised and walked out of the classroom. She took the people away from the classroom door and went to a place where there was no one to talk.

"Your mother called. She called home." Wang Sanmei looked nervous. "I didn't expect it was your mother who called. After I picked up the phone, she called my name. I thought it was too late to deny it."

Ji Ling frowned, "Why did she call so urgently?"

"They just said there was something urgent and asked you to call the store at noon, but they didn't say anything." Wang Sanmei was a little worried. "Could something have happened in your family? I called your eldest brother, and he said he didn't know, but your mother's tone wasn't good at all. Also, she won't tell anyone about my situation at your house, right? How about I go out and hide first? They say they don't have a daughter like me, so they don't have any news about me. If they know where I am, they will definitely make a fuss, especially since you're doing well now. What if they try to blackmail you?"

"It's okay. If they really come, it's not too late for you to hide. Besides, it's your family that's afraid. They made you and your sister switch identities. To be honest, they are the ones who are guilty."

"That's good. You're so kind to help me. I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble again." Wang Sanmei had solved her own problem and couldn't help but worry about her. "How about you take a leave and go back to make a call?"

Ji Ling shook her head, "No, it won't take a whole morning no matter how urgent it is."

The class bell had already rung, and Ji Ling asked Wang Sanmei to go back, saying that she would be back at noon.

The two then separated.

After Ji Ling returned to the room, Gao Jing slowly walked out from the corner, looked in the direction where Wang Sanmei left, and then walked back to the classroom.

After school at noon, Miao Man heard that Ji Ling was going out to do something again, and she became anxious, "Are you hiding from Gao Jing? She asked the dormitory teacher to change her bed herself, what does it have to do with you?"

"I really have something urgent to do." Ji Ling explained with a smile, "Someone came to see me this morning. You saw it. It was my family calling me. I think there's something going on. I'll go call them back."

Miao Man was relieved, "That's fine, I thought you were trying to avoid Gao Jing."

When Miao Man and the others came over, they saw that the beds had been changed, but Ji Ling had not come back. They didn't know what had happened, and Gao Jing was not in the dormitory either. Later, they asked the dormitory teacher and found out that Gao Jing had agreed to Ji Ling's change of bed.

Ji Ling thanked him and went to make a phone call.

After the call was connected, he picked it up immediately, but it was Ji Yong's voice that came, "Xiaoling? You must be anxious, right? It's nothing, isn't it your wedding at the end of December? I want to ask which classmates you want to notify."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Dad, I don't have any close friends. Just notify Dong Manhua and Ma Hui when you have time. But they all live in the same compound, so there should be no need to notify them. They will all come."

"Okay, then I understand." Ji Yong reminded her to take care of herself and hung up the phone.

After Ji Ling hung up the phone, her face slowly darkened.

Dad is lying.

However, through her father's actions, she could guess that Xu Fang was about to cause trouble again and was stopped by her father.

Considering what Zhu Heping asked her to do yesterday to call home to inform them of her pregnancy, and combined with Xu Fang's behavior today, Ji Ling had a rough guess.

Wang Sanmei called her out for dinner, and seeing her like this, she asked worriedly, "Is anything wrong at home?"

She took the initiative to call Ji Jianhua, but was worried that her action was too rash. She also thought that the Ji family would not tell her if something happened, so she went to inform Ji Ling.

"It's okay. My mom must have made a scene again and brought it to me." Ji Ling stood up. "Let's eat."

Wang Sanmei fried eggs and leeks, only one dish, but she put a lot of eggs. During the meal, she kept picking eggs for Ji Ling and told her to eat more since she was pregnant.

Ji Ling also asked her to eat more. "The weather is getting cold. You can buy yourself some thick clothes on the street these days. You are not going to pay me back if you borrow money from me. Don't be hard on yourself."

"No, it's not that cold yet."

"It's snowing now, how can I not be cold?" Ji Ling took out twenty yuan from her pocket and put it on the table, "Buy a cotton coat and two more sets of clothes."

Wang Sanmei was no longer polite to her, "Okay, I'll put the bill down then."

Ji Ling smiled and nodded.

Wang Sanmei has a strong self-esteem and wants to rely on herself. Ji Ling supports her very much. If the other party is really greedy, she really doesn't like such a person.

She gives it, but it’s a different feeling when the other party takes the initiative to ask for it.

After lunch, Ji Ling returned to school. She did not notice Gao Jing's figure behind her. She looked in the direction Ji Ling left, then looked back at the community where Ji Ling lived, and then slowly walked towards the school.

There was still time, so Ji Ling returned to the dormitory.

Jiang Zheng was in the dormitory, but Gao Jing was not there. On the way to school, Miao Man told me that Gao Jing came back very late yesterday and was the first one to go out in the morning. No one knew what she was busy with.
