"I investigated at the bureau and found out that Xu Qiuping's job was arranged by our family's connections. Dad has already informed the bureau, and Xu Qiuping's job may be transferred. If your grandma calls..."
"Don't worry, my grandpa and the others won't call." Ji Ling said, "Dad and grandpa didn't say anything, right?"
"Grandpa was in a meeting outside and heard about it from outsiders, so he called Dad." Zhu Weidong said, "Don't think too much. I have already dealt with everything. It's not your fault that someone came to our house to cause trouble. As for the comments of outsiders, they are nothing more than accusing the Xu family of bad behavior. It has nothing to do with you."
"You don't have to comfort me. How could it have nothing to do with me? I have relatives like this, and they won't say anything good about me. But I don't care. They have their own mouths. I can't stop them from saying anything. I live my own life. I'm just worried that it will have a bad impact on my family."
"Yaowu and the other two have been fighting since they were young. Have you ever seen their parents stop them? If they really cared about what others said, they wouldn't be so naughty."
Ji Ling smiled, thinking that this made sense.
Since her husband's family doesn't care about the impact of this matter, she is not worried about it.
"How's Niuniu?"
"Maybe he was scared. He didn't look for anyone today and just let me hold him."
"This is not a solution. If it doesn't work, just let her cry. It will be better if she can't see you."
"Are you sick? Your voice sounds a little hoarse."
"It's okay. It's hot here now, and I didn't drink enough water during the day."
Ji Ling, "Take care of yourself. Don't worry about your family. Yaowu and the others are here."
"You cried like that yesterday, how could I not feel bad for you?" Zhu Weidong said, "I will go back to your hometown with you during the New Year holiday."
He wanted to meet Xu Qiuping in person.
What kind of man is he if he bullies women and children while he is at home?
"Let's talk about it when we meet."
It was late, so the two didn't say much. The next day, Ji Ling went to school while her daughter was still asleep.
It was too early to arrive at school, so she went to the dormitory first. Miao Man and the others had just woken up, and when they saw her coming so early, they looked at her worriedly.
"I heard that your cousin went to your house and threatened to commit suicide by drinking pesticide?"
Ji Ling: "The whole school knows about this?"
"Everyone who knows you knows about it, and those who don't know you are also talking about it. I guess you are going to be watched today." Miao Man joked.
While brushing her teeth, Li Jia asked, "Xiaoling, what's going on?"
Tang Meng also came over curiously.
Ji Ling explained the whole story and the three of them were shocked.
"How can there be such a person? The two families are relatives and so close. If you have something to say, just tell them directly. You will not be embarrassed to refuse. He puts on airs and wants to control you, just like the Zhu family has to praise them." Miao Man was speechless.
Tang Meng said, "How did this get to the school? Xiaoling doesn't have any classmates living in the same compound with her."
"I guess it must be Gao Jing. Jiang Zheng would know, of course. She knows that Gao Jing also knows." Miao Man said, "Xiao Ling, you haven't been to school for the past two days, so you may not know that your sister is very close to Senior Jiang now. I have seen them walking together on campus several times. Could it be that Gao Jing is jealous of this and spread your story?"
"From a distance, I saw that the two of them were chatting happily. They must be very familiar with each other. It doesn't seem like they have met before." Miao Man was afraid that her feeling was wrong, so she asked the other two, "What do you think?"
Li Jia thought about it and said, "I think they are very familiar with each other. It was raining the day before yesterday, and the two of you shared an umbrella. I saw Senior Jiang combing your sister's hair under the umbrella."
Such an intimate gesture is not something that ordinary friends can do.
Ji Ling pondered, it is impossible for Jiang Yihang not to know that Ji Ke is his sister, and it is impossible for him to like Ji Ke, but why did he behave so intimately with Ji Ke?
"They are not dating, are they?" Miao Man's eyes widened. "But Gao Jing and Senior Jiang are usually very close. Even if Gao Jing doesn't say it, everyone can see that she is interested in Senior Jiang. Now that your sister is like this with Senior Jiang, she will definitely take her anger out on you again."
"Let them be." Ji Ling didn't want to care about Ji Ke's affairs.
It was obvious at first glance that Jiang Yihang had ulterior motives. Ji Ke herself had no brains, so she was the one who was stupid.
At noon that day, Ji Ke came to the dormitory to find Ji Ling again, "Sister, is it true that my cousin went to your house to commit suicide?"
Ji Ling walked around her, and Ji Ke chased after her. There were people in the corridor, and she didn't dare to speak loudly, "Sister, my uncle and aunt are here. I'll go find them and ask them to take care of my cousin."
Ji Ling pushed open the dormitory door and slammed it shut, leaving Ji Ke with only her back.
Ji Ke bit her lip, and when she saw Jiang Yihang in the afternoon, she shook her head, "My sister didn't tell me that my cousin was looking for her. She must still be annoyed."
Jiang Yihang comforted her, "Don't think too much. It's embarrassing to talk about this. It's okay if your sister doesn't tell you."
At this point, he smiled and said, "You sisters don't seem to have a close relationship."
Ji Ke bit her lip, "I don't know why my sister doesn't like me, she has been like this since we were little. In fact, we didn't spend much time together. Before I took the college entrance examination, I knew that my sister liked Brother Jingming, and she was unhappy when she saw me and Brother Jingming getting close. Later, she got married, probably because she didn't want us to disturb her life."
"So you sisters have liked the same person."
"Brother Jiang, please don't tell anyone about this." Ji Ke looked flustered. "That's all in the past. My sister is married now. If others knew about this, they would point fingers at her."
"I'm not a talkative person, you don't have to worry about this." Jiang Yihang checked the time. "You are worried about your sister. Now that you know she is fine, and she doesn't like you to get close to her, then don't bother her anymore. I have something to do at noon, so I won't have lunch with you today. By the way, you know my sister. If you don't have anyone to play with, you can go find her."
Ji Ke naturally didn't want to see the man leave, but he also knew that Brother Jiang was very busy and they were just friends, so he couldn't always be with her.
After the two separated, Jiang Yihang went straight back to his residence opposite the school. Seeing Gao Jing waiting in the house, before he could say anything, Gao Jing threw herself into his arms.
"Are you in love with someone else?"
"Who are those others?" Jiang Yihang's hands wandered over her body.
"You know."
"Ji Ke? What do you think? She's just a child, I'll take care of her more. And she's Ji Ling's sister, so she's not an outsider."
Gao Jing's eyes darkened slightly, but her voice sounded cheerful, "You are helping to take care of her out of kindness, but I am afraid that Ji Ling will misunderstand you and think you have ulterior motives after knowing it."
"What she thinks is her business. I can't always consider her feelings when doing things." Jiang Yihang stopped people from sitting on the sofa. "What did you say to Jiang Zheng when you came here?"
