"Mom, I want to go abroad. Chen Jingming can go abroad. Our family is so well off now, why can't I go? Many people choose to go abroad now, and I don't want to stay in China. From childhood to adulthood, I have always been better than Ji Ling, but later Ji Ling suppressed me in every way. I don't want to compare with her, but everyone around me compares me with her. If this continues, I will really go crazy. Just let me go abroad, I want to find my own life."
Xu Fang looked at her daughter, "Have you always thought so?"
"Yes, don't you think so? Comparing me with Ji Ling?"
Xu Fang was silent. It was like this before, and it is like this now.
How could it not be compared?
Obviously Ji Ling received less love and care, but she was better than her daughter in every way.
In the past two years, she has asked herself countless times why the gap between her two children is getting bigger and bigger.
All she could think of was that she had spoiled Ji Ke.
"Okay, if you think this can cheer you up, then go abroad." Xu Fang made up her mind, "I'll give you a chance to start over. If you don't cherish it, don't blame anyone but yourself in the future."
Ji Ke didn't expect her mother to give in so easily. She nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Mom. I will try my best to stay away from Ji Ling."
Xu Fang had heard her daughter's promise countless times, so she felt nothing when she heard it this time.
Xu Fang told the whole family about Ji Ke's plan to go abroad during dinner that night. Surprisingly, no one in the family objected and they all agreed.
Ji Ke is too noisy, so maybe it would be a good thing if he really went abroad.
At night, Ji Jianhua found Xu Fang and asked, "Mom, should I tell my dad what Ji Ke did?"
"Tell your father that he is angry too. He is old and has not been in good health in recent years. Don't let him get angry. I will call Xiaoling tomorrow to talk to her."
Ji Jianhua felt better when he heard that his mother was worried about his father's health instead of protecting Ji Ke.
The next day, Ji Ling was surprised when she received a call from Xu Fang.
Since her background was revealed, she and Xu Fang have never spoken on the phone once.
"Xiaoling, your eldest brother and his friends came back and told me what Ji Ke did. I didn't ask them to tell your dad. Your dad has been in poor health since the car accident. He has been suffering from minor illnesses over the past two years. I don't want him to get angry. Don't make a fuss. I'm not protecting Ji Ke."
"I know." Ji Ling listened.
"Ji Ke said she wanted to go abroad after graduation, and her family agreed. It's good for her to go abroad, so that everyone can live a peaceful life." Xu Fang was silent for a moment, "She always wants to compete with you now. I'm afraid she will do something extreme. It's a good thing for her to stay away from you."
Ji Ling was silent for a moment, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
She still didn't take Ji Ke seriously. What else could she do except threaten others with her own life?
"I know, but your dad and I are tired, and she feels good being around her family, so let's go outside."
Ji Ling hummed, thinking Xu Fang was going to fail, and then she heard her say, "She has done very well in English in the past few years, but failed all other subjects. I thought she was going abroad. She couldn't forget Chen Jingming and was thinking about going to find him."
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment.
She didn't expect that Xu Fang actually noticed it.
What was even more surprising was that Xu Fang would tell her.
"It's the New Year. When I'm not busy anymore, I'll take Niuniu home to stay for a while."
"Okay, you guys should calm down and take care of yourselves."
Xu Fang smiled, agreed, and said let’s hang up. Both parties hung up the phone.
It’s the New Year, and everything is decorated in red, which is very festive.
Life is actually like this, ordinary and warm.
Miao Man's wedding was scheduled for the third day of the Lunar New Year, before her friends went to work so that many people could attend.
Ji Ling and her family of three arrived at Miao's house early.
In recent years, Ji Jianhua's factory has had a contract with the Miao family and has become a major customer of the Miao family's glass factory. The two families are familiar with each other.
Seeing that Ji Ling was obviously much more enthusiastic than others, Miao's mother asked the relatives to entertain Zhu Weidong, and she took Ji Ling and Niu Niu to Miao Man's house.
Miao Man was wearing a white wedding dress, surrounded by Li Jia and Tang Meng. As soon as Ji Ling came in with Niu Niu, someone immediately made room for Ji Ling and Niu Niu to sit over there.
Ji Ling thanked her and sat on the kang with her daughter in her arms. As soon as Niu Niu was free, she immediately threw herself into Miao Man's arms, but was pulled back by Ji Ling.
"Not this time. Your Aunt Miao is the bride today and I can't let you mess up your clothes."
Miao Man laughed, "Niuniu must have thought I looked good today, so she came over here for a hug."
Niuniu said sweetly, "Auntie Miao is the most beautiful, Niuniu loves her the most."
Miao Man laughed out loud, and she hugged Niu Niu in her arms and kissed her twice, then handed Niu Niu back to Ji Ling's arms.
On such a happy wedding day, Miao Man couldn't help gossiping. She came close to Ji Ling and whispered, "Gao Jing and Jiang Zheng must be with Hua Xiaoyu. They won't come here."
Then, without waiting for Ji Ling to speak, he continued, "Li Jia and Tang Meng and I have just analyzed it. They definitely don't want to come, but they are friends with Hua Xiaoyu and can't afford to lose face, so they went to his place."
Ji Ling couldn't help laughing, "You'll know after you get married."
Miao Man blushed and finally looked like a new bride.
Hua Xiaoyu was in high spirits today. When Meng Wenbin came as best man to pick up the bride, Gu Baoshan was also in the crowd. He had a long centipede-like scar on one side of his face, which was quite scary.
Li Jia and other familiar people didn't know the situation and were all shocked. Even Miao Man, the bride, couldn't help but be stunned.
Those who didn't know Gu Baoshan couldn't help but feel scared when they saw him and instinctively stayed away from him.
After the bride got on the car and they also got on the wedding car, Li Jia and Tang Meng dared to ask Ji Ling.
Ji Ling was driving the car, Zhu Weidong was sitting in the front holding his daughter, Li Jia and Tang Meng were sitting in the back. In their eyes, these were not outsiders.
So I just asked directly.
Ji Ling told Gu Baoshan in a few words how he got his face hurt.
"Oh, Senior Gu is so kind that he even disregards his own safety for a worker." Li Jia sighed.
Tang Meng nodded, "It's just that the wound on his face is quite scary. I wonder if it will affect his promotion in the future."
"He has been promoted to director of their department." Zhu Weidong interrupted.
"Ah, he's now the director. Senior Gu is amazing." Li Jia exclaimed, "Gao Jing is lucky. Now she has finally gotten her wish after all the hardships she's endured."
"Well, as directors, the bureau will allocate a public housing unit to them." Zhu Weidong threw out another sentence.
Another scream was heard in the car.
Ji Ling glanced at her husband. This man didn't say anything yesterday. It was obvious that he was showing off here on purpose.
Thinking that Zhu Weidong also had such a naughty side, Ji Ling curled the corners of her lips.
