After hesitating for a long time, Ji Ling finally said it.
The next day, Ji Ling accompanied Wang Sanmei to the hospital, and Ji Jianhua went to the Railway Administration to find Jiang Yihang.
The year-end holiday is coming soon and all units are very busy. This is Jiang Yihang's first year in the unit and he has been assigned to be the section chief. Because he is young and a newcomer, he has been given such a position and has worked harder and more attentively than others, hoping to gain recognition from his subordinates with his own abilities.
When he heard someone looking for him, Jiang Yihang let the person in without even raising his head. Then he heard someone come in but there was no sound. Jiang Yihang stopped writing and raised his head.
He was a strange man, and his clothes and aura showed that he was not an ordinary person.
He asked, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
"You are Jiang Yihang, right? I am Ji Ke's elder brother Ji Jianhua." Ji Jianhua didn't know whether the news was accurate or not, so he introduced himself as his sister's name. When he saw the other party was stunned for a moment, he guessed that his sister and Jiang Yihang did know each other, "Are you free now? I'd like to take a few minutes of your time."
"It's Brother Ji." Jiang Yihang stood up, walked around the table, shook hands with Ji Jianhua, and asked him to sit down. "I'm really sorry, I haven't seen you before. I'm sorry."
Ji Jianhua, "I came to your house without permission."
"You're welcome." Jiang Yihang saw someone coming to his door, and he didn't understand anything, so he took the initiative to ask, "Brother, are you looking for Ji Ke?"
Ji Jianhua nodded without changing his expression, "Yes, the New Year is coming soon, the school has been closed for the holidays, and Xiaoke hasn't returned home yet. We happened to be here to do some work, so we thought of taking her home with us."
Jiang Yihang said, "That's as she should be. I've talked to Xiaoke about this, and she said she'd go back home after she's done with her work these few days. The school has also had a holiday early, and she still has some things to do, so she's staying at my empty house outside. I'm usually busy at work, and I haven't seen her for a few days. I was thinking of taking some time to visit her today, and persuade her to put her work aside and go home early so as not to worry you guys, but I ended up making you guys worry."
Upon hearing this, no matter how dumb Ji Jianhua was, he understood that these two people were really dating.
Ji Jianhua used to have a good relationship with the little girl, but after he found out that she had a bad character, he kept his distance from her. Now he didn't want to ask too much about Ji Kechu's partner. He just wanted to bring the person back and hand her over to his parents. As for other matters, his parents would naturally handle them.
Afterwards, Jiang Yihang took the initiative to offer to take Ji Jianhua to find Ji Ke, and Ji Jianhua did not refuse.
The residence is in the community opposite the university. Ji Jianhua has been to his eldest sister's house, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yihang's residence is also here.
It’s just that it’s not the same building. When Jiang Yihang knocked on the door, Ji Ke opened the door and saw Ji Jianhua for the first time, the smile on his face faded.
"Brother, how did you find this place?"
Ji Jianhua was polite to Jiang Yihang but not to Ji Keke. "I don't want to come either. You don't go home during the Chinese New Year. Are you a child? Don't you know your parents will be worried? Look at how many days are left before the Chinese New Year? If I don't come to find you, will you not go home?"
Seeing that his elder brother didn't even save face for him in front of outsiders, Ji Ke was furious, "Yes, I didn't plan to go back. Is that still my home? A daughter-in-law from outside, a child adopted from outside, both of them are closer to me, why should I go back?"
"Ji Ke." Ji Jianhua's eyes widened in anger. "Are you a child? In your eyes, can mom only be good to you? Is being nice to others wrong? You are not ashamed to say these things. Look at yourself. Is this what a human being would say?"
"Don't you know how you were at home before? Do you want me to be bullied by your sister-in-law and Xiaoling? Are you still a human being? From childhood to adulthood, you have enjoyed much better than Xiaoling. Don't you know it? Now that mom is no longer targeting Xiaoling, you feel uncomfortable. Do you think mom has to treat them harshly to make you happy?"
"It's not okay to be nice to them. They are outsiders. Why should I be nice to them?" Ji Ke thought so in his heart. He would never admit it normally, but today he was annoyed by Ji Jianhua.
Ji Jianhua wanted to slap her in the face, but he held back and turned to ask Jiang Yihang, "Did Ji Ke always tell you this? And you didn't persuade her?"
Jiang Yihang was stunned for a moment, "Brother, Xiaoke is not usually like this."
"You don't have to take your anger out on Yihang. You found this place because Ji Ling told you, right? I knew Ji Ling wasn't as good as she looked. She was keeping an eye on me in secret. Did you really think I didn't know?"
"Stop talking about others here." Ji Jianhua pointed at her, "You must have offended someone outside. When you are dating someone, everyone calls Xiaoling to tip her off. If Xiaoling hadn't seen me looking for you everywhere, would she care about your affairs?"
Ji Ke was embarrassed and annoyed, "Yes, in your eyes, even Ji Ling's farts are fragrant, so why don't you go find her? Why are you coming to my place?"
"Xiao Ke, why are you talking to your elder brother?" Jiang Yihang interrupted her. "This is your family's business. It's not right for me, an outsider, to butt in. But I just can't listen to what you said. You have a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart. You can sit down and communicate with your family. Can saying these angry words solve the problem? It's useless."
Jiang Yihang talked to Ji Ke, but Ji Ke resisted the urge to say anything back, and turned around and stormed into the house.
Jiang Yihang advised Ji Jianhua, "Brother, don't be angry. Xiaoke is just a child. She quarreled with you today and said these things. When she talked to me normally, she never complained about the family. You should calm down first. Let's go inside and talk slowly. If we quarrel in the corridor, the neighbors will laugh at us."
Ji Jianhua pursed his lips and went into the house.
He didn't like Ji Ke, and even Jiang Yihang wasn't something he liked.
Inside the room, Ji Ke sat on a chair and glared at Ji Jianhua, "Go back and tell my parents that I won't be going back for the New Year."
Ji Jianhua was in no hurry to answer. He glanced around the room and saw the phone on the sofa before speaking, "Call your parents right now and tell them you're not coming back. Then tell them you have a boyfriend and are living here."
Ji Ke pursed her lips, "I won't fight."
"If you don't hit me, I will." Ji Jianhua walked to the phone in two or three steps, picked up the phone and dialed his home number.
Ji Ke saw it and rushed over to grab the phone. How could Ji Jianhua let her get it? She was no match for Ji Jianhua. Ji Jianhua blocked her from a distance with one hand and she couldn't even touch the phone.
"Ji Jianhua, what are you going to do?"
The call was connected, and Xu Fang heard her daughter's voice, "Is that Xiaoke? What happened?"
