"Xiao Ke? Xiao Ke? Why don't you say something? What happened?"

"Mom, it's me. Ji Ke and I are together." Ji Jianhua couldn't bear to see his mother anxious, so he suppressed his anger and said, "She is now at Ji Ke's boyfriend's house. She has never come home. She has a boyfriend here and she is very dissatisfied with her family. It's useless for me to persuade her. You should talk to her yourself."

After Ji Jianhua finished speaking, he turned around and handed the phone to Ji Ke.

Ji Ke jumped away in an instant as if he was scalded.

Xu Fang on the other end of the phone was still in shock.

My daughter is fine, but she has a boyfriend and is staying at his house instead of going home.

This is living together before marriage.

She thought that her daughter, whom she had loved so much and praised so much, was actually doing such a thing outside.

Xu Fang felt dizzy and only held on to the counter to avoid falling down.

"Ji Ke?" There was no sound on the other end of the phone, so Xu Fang called again.

Ji Jianhua held the phone and looked at Ji Ke, "Didn't you fight fiercely just now? Why don't you have the courage to answer the phone now? Weren't you very tough when you talked to me just now? Are you tough now?"

"Ji Jianhua, you just can't stand me doing well, right? How did I offend you that you treat me like this? If it were Ji Ling, would you do this?" Ji's hateful eyes were spitting fire.

"Xiaoling wouldn't do such a thing. Only you can do such a thing."

"What have I done? What if I just don't want to go home? Is that my home? Is there still a place for me? I'm like an outsider, and none of you like me. If that's the case, I might as well not go back. Isn't this what you want? Why are you forcing me to go back now?"

The brother and sister were arguing on the other end of the phone, and Xu Fang heard it all.

She pursed her lips and looked gloomy.

Ji Jianhua said calmly, "Ji Ke, I really don't understand what's in your mind? You can't stand mom being nice to Sanmei and Xiaoling, I think this is just an excuse you made up. You just can't stand others being better than you, right? Why are you so vicious?"

"Yes, I am vicious, and you are all good people, okay? That's why I stay away from you. Why are you looking for me now? Just treat me as if I am not good enough."

"Okay, I want you to say these words to mom in person. Say it yourself and then I'll leave. I won't care about you even if you die." Ji Jianhua shouted at her to answer the phone.

Ji Ke stood far away and didn't answer the phone.

Ji Jianhua mocked, "You don't dare to answer the phone or talk to mom in person, you are just afraid that mom will cut off your money after you say it, right? You dare to be so tough now, isn't it because mom spoiled you, now that you have some money, you start to be tough with your family?"

When Ji Jianhua said this to Ji Ke, he was also saying it to his mother on the other end of the phone.

Just as Xiaoling said, Ji Ke is now confident because she has some money in her hand. If she didn't have money, would she have the courage? Ji Ke was so angry that she said, "That's my money. Even if I don't go home, it's what I deserve. What does it have to do with you?"

"Your money? Where did you get the money? That's what my parents earned. We have three children in our family. When we divide the property one day, not all of it will be yours." Ji Jianhua almost peeled off Ji Ke's face and stepped on it on the ground.

Ji Ke was so angry that she cried loudly, "Ji Jianhua, you just can't stand seeing me doing well, you just bully me. Mom, Ji Jianhua bullies me, listen to what he said, now when I spend some money from home, he keeps watching me, does he dislike me spending money from home? Woo"

"Mom, come here. If you don't come, I will be bullied to death."

Ji Jianhua looked at Ji Ke sitting on the ground crying, unmoved.

Xu Fang, who had been silent on the other end of the phone, spoke, "Jianhua?"

She called out twice before Ji Jianhua answered the phone, "Mom."

"Jianhua, let Ji Ke answer the phone. I'll talk to her."

Ji Ke is still crying.

Ji Jianhua said, "If you don't answer, I'll hang up now. Don't expect mom to give you living expenses in the future."

Feeling threatened, Ji Ke finally got up and answered the phone.

After answering the phone, Ji Ke kept crying into the phone, calling her mother in grievance. If Xu Fang hadn't been listening on the other end of the phone, she would have really thought that her daughter had suffered a great injustice.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Xiao Ke, are you dating someone?"

Ji Ke choked up and hummed, "Mom, I live here, but I'm alone. Yihang went back to live in his own home. The school is closed now, and he has nowhere to live, so I'm staying here at his house."

"Xiao Ke, why don't you go home during the holidays?" Xu Fang asked.

Ji Ke paused for a moment and said, "Mom, I don't want to go back yet. I want to spend the New Year here this year."

"Are you going to your boyfriend's house for the New Year?"

"No, myself."

"You would rather spend the New Year alone outside than go home. Why?" Xu Fang asked.

Although her mother's voice was calm, Ji Ke was a little scared. "Mom, the New Year is just a few days away. The train will be very crowded, so I don't want to go back. Besides, I won't be able to stay for more than a few days after the New Year. I'll be back soon."

"Your elder brother and your sister-in-law have gone in the car, you can just follow them back." Xu Fang stated.

Ji Ke was silent.

Xu Fang waited for a while, and when she saw that her daughter didn't say anything, she said calmly, "Ji Ke, if you don't go home, you'll have to rely on yourself over there in the future."

What his son said was right. Ji Ke was spoiled and now she is taking advantage of the love her family has shown her to blackmail her family.

It would be a lie for Xu Fang to say that she didn't feel sad. Ji Ke's current failure proved how much of a failure she had lived all those years.

After realizing that what she did was wrong, Xu Fang would not make the same mistake again.

Beep beep beep.

The phone was hung up. Ji Ke hung up the phone in a daze. She looked up at Ji Jianhua blankly, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Ji Jianhua looked at her coldly, "You will meet us at the gate of Xiaoling's compound at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If you don't go after that time, your sister-in-law and I will leave directly."

After saying this, Ji Jianhua turned and left.

As for Jiang Yihang who had been standing next to him, he didn't even glance at him.

Jiang Yihang had never been so embarrassed before. The attitude of the Ji family was like an invisible slap in his face.

Regardless of whether he lived here or not, he arranged Ji Ke here, and in the eyes of Ji's family, he had no good intentions.

His own character was questioned, and Jiang Yihang's fundamental character was severely attacked. He took a deep breath to keep his face from collapsing.

"Ji Ke, pack up and go back with your eldest brother tomorrow. I'm worried about you spending the New Year here alone. What will your family think of me if you spend the New Year here?"
