But Jiang Yihang didn’t seem to like Gao Jing, and Ji Ling thought it was impossible for the two of them to be in a relationship.

At noon, Ji Ling usually ate and then took a nap, but she didn't sleep at noon today.

Ji Kexun came over and it seemed like there was something urgent.

The two sisters were in the same school but seldom contacted each other. They had not seen each other since the last time they met. Ji Ling had never looked for Ji Ke, nor had she asked her to come to her home on weekends.

This time, the two sisters walked out of the dormitory and stopped in a secluded place outside the dormitory building.

"Sister, mom called." Ji Ke looked worried, "Something happened at home. Did you know that big brother and Luo Li are getting married?"

Ji Ling nodded, "Brother went out, didn't he say we'd talk when he came back?"

"That's not the case. It was after my eldest brother and dad mentioned getting married that Luo Li found my eldest brother a few days later and said that they should put their relationship on hold. Then Luo Li left and handed over her family's factory to her parents."

Ji Ling was surprised, "Where did she go?"

"She said she came to the capital to accompany her sister." Ji Ke muttered, "Mom called me today and asked me to find you to persuade Dad."

"Convince dad?"

"Brother later learned from the workers in the Luo family factory that Dad had talked to Luo Li in private. I don't know what they talked about, but after the conversation, Luo Li found brother and said that their relationship would have to wait."

"You mean Dad went to Luo Li and said he was against it, so Luo Li didn't want to talk about marriage again?"

Ji Ke nodded, "Mom said that when my eldest brother found out, he was very angry, but he didn't ask Dad why, and then he said he was leaving."

Ji Ling suddenly realized that this was the case. Thinking back to her brother's haggard look yesterday and his occasional sighs, Ji Ling began to understand a little.

"I'll call and ask dad first. Maybe there's some misunderstanding here. If dad objects, big brother would have said it directly when he was dating Luo Li, and wouldn't have waited until they were talking about marriage to bring it up." Although Ji Ling was confused, she didn't agree that Ji Yong was such a conservative person.

Ji Ke said "Oh" and then asked, "Sister, is Niuniu cute now? It's been almost two months, she has changed a lot, right?"

"If you want to see it, just go to the compound on the weekend." Ji Ling said directly, "We are sisters, there is no need to beat around the bush. If you want to go to the compound, you have to go around and ask others to invite you. Even if you are sisters, it will make people feel uncomfortable."

Ji Ke's face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes for a moment, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall.

Ji Ling didn't indulge her bad habits, "Okay, it's alright, I'll go back first."

After saying this, Ji Ling left without looking back.

Only after everyone left did the tears in Ji Ke's eyes fall. She hurriedly raised her hand to wipe them away, but she couldn't help feeling aggrieved, and her eyes became wet again.

"Hey, cry if you want to. Why do you have to put yourself in such a difficult position even when crying? Life must be so tiring." A man's chuckle was heard, and a handkerchief was handed over at the same time.

Ji Ke looked up in panic and met a pair of smiling eyes.

"Take it. Girls are made of water. It's not wrong for them to cry." The man smiled and handed the handkerchief forward again.

Ji Ke took it, blushed and lowered his head, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The man stood there with his hands in his pockets. "You're a freshman, right? Majoring in Chinese?"

Ji Ke's eyes widened, "How did you know?"

The man was amused by her appearance, "Has anyone ever told you that you're cute?"

The smile in the man's eyes became even more intense, "Very well behaved."

Ji Ke's face turned red, like the setting sun in the evening.

"My sister is also studying Chinese, but she is in her third year. I have been to your place a few times. I have never seen you before, but I have seen you a few times this year. You look unfamiliar, so I guess you are a freshman this year."

Ji Ke was shocked by the man's analytical ability.

The man seemed to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a slender figure. The white shirt fit him very well. Through his gold-rimmed glasses, one could see that he had a pair of long, thin eyes. When he smiled, it was as if he had hooks, which made people feel nervous but unable to resist looking at him.

He has very thin lips and looks a bit wicked when he smiles, but he is also very elegant and makes people feel trusting of him.

This was the first time in Ji Ke's life that he saw such a man, and he was stunned for a moment.

The man didn't feel offended by her staring at him, and just let her look at him with a smile.

Until Ji Ke realized something was wrong, he looked away with red ears, "I'm a freshman."

"You still have classes this afternoon, right? I'm going over there, let's go together." The man pointed to the road ahead, stepped out first, and introduced himself, "My last name is Guan Mao, I'm 24 years old, and I'm a middle school teacher."

Ji Ke also introduced himself.

Afterwards, Guan Mao, as a native local, introduced to Ji Ke the fun places in the local area and which alley had the authentic noodles with soybean paste.

When the two separated, they were like friends of many years and even made an appointment to go to Xiangshan together on the weekend.

On the other hand, Ji Ling went home in the evening to take care of the child before calling home.

Ji Yong answered the phone. It was very noisy on his end, so there must be a lot of people in the store.

"Dad, I'm busy now. I'll call you back later."

"Not busy, I'm here to pick up the goods. Workers are loading them." Ji Yong pulled a chair and sat down. "I wanted to call you when I got back, but I forgot about it because I was so busy. How is Niuniu now?"

"He's fine. There are many people at home and I don't need to take care of him." Ji Ling asked about Ji Yong's physical condition again, and then talked about Ji Jianhua.

She didn't beat around the bush and directly told her about Ji Ke's visit, "Did Luo Li talk to you?"

Ji Yong was even more surprised, "Does your mother and the others think so?"

"It should be." After hearing her father's reaction, Ji Ling knew that her family had misunderstood her.

"It wasn't me who looked for Luo Li. It was Luo Li who took the initiative to look for me. She told me about the time I asked her to come over for a talk. She said she knew I had a prejudice against him. She said she also realized her own problems and said she wouldn't let me down. I said at the time that I didn't care about young people's affairs. My opinion on her doesn't mean I will always have an opinion on her. Everyone can make mistakes. Just change it." Ji Yong's tone was a little unhappy at this time. "I was still thinking about how to discuss marriage with your eldest brother, and suddenly you said you don't want to get married."

Because of this incident, Ji Yong had opinions about Luo Li again, thinking that this person was usually quite capable, but not very stable in doing things.

But how could he, a future father-in-law, say this? Besides, the matter of having two children was not yet settled, and he had no control over the woman.

After Ji Ling understood, she said, "Dad, then you should tell this to the family. When my eldest brother comes back and passes by, I'll tell him."

"Xiaoling, Luo Li and your elder brother's marriage has been put aside again. Isn't it really because of me?"
