Her voice was very calm. "I was the one who rejected your brother. If you are angry, come to me, not Ji Ling."
Wang Wanxia's eyes fell back on her face. "My brother is excellent. If you don't like him, you have no vision. Our Wang family has not reached the point where we would go all out to get a woman to marry my brother. We arranged a blind date with you because you studied at a university in the capital and worked in the government. Otherwise, at your age, our family would not agree."
"Hey, everyone can brag."
Wang Sanmei interrupted Ma Hui and said, "Yes, everyone can brag. It's not that Manhua can't find a partner. She was forced to go because of me. She was giving me face. Otherwise, your brother would still want to meet our Manhua. He's dreaming."
There were some things that Ma Hui couldn't say directly. After all, she was targeting the Wang family, and she was afraid that Wang Sanmei would feel uncomfortable.
But Wang Sanmei herself said, there is no need to worry.
"Sanmei, what nonsense are you talking about? Manhua is old." Lian Qin stopped talking halfway.
The Dong family loves this old girl very much. She has already made a plan. If she says something unpleasant again today, she is really afraid that she will make the other person angry and the news will reach the Dong family's ears.
"Aunt Lian, even if I'm an old maid and can't get married, I won't look for someone from the Wang family." Dong Manhua's attitude was very clear.
Lian Qin laughed dryly, "Manhua, don't think too much. Auntie just got mad at Sanmei and said something wrong."
Dong Manhua didn't respond to her, and Lian Qin felt embarrassed.
Wang Wanxia looked at this scene and smiled, "Ji Ling, you said your last name is Ji, so you are not a member of our Wang family. That's fine, our family is also attached to you, but you are so clear about the distinction, why don't you also take care of Ji Keke? Ji Keke has often used your name to ask me to support her."
Ji Ling met Wang Wanxia's gaze and saw that she did not avoid it, but looked very proud. "By the way, when I came back a few days ago, Ji Ke asked me to come over, saying that it was New Year's Day and she wanted to see if I had any antiques. You also live in the capital, and antiques are very popular now. Ji Ke is now well-known in the antique circle, thanks to your Zhu family's support behind her. Otherwise, how could she, a girl who just graduated from college, make such a big splash."
"Hey, you look like you don't know yet? That's strange. I met your brother-in-law once. He was with Ji Ke when he went shopping."
Wang Wanxia's smugness was evident on her face, and her tone was eerie, which showed her intentions.
She could indeed be proud of herself. Ji Ling was shocked again and again by what she said.
Ji Ke deals in antiques, and his brother-in-law is also involved, and he relies more on the Zhu family.
Ji Ling did not question Wang Wanxia's words because she remembered that Zhu Weiyue had taken out the Buddha statue from her grandfather's study.
Ji Ling didn't understand how deep the water was in antiques and what it involved, but she knew it was too deep.
If the Zhu family is really involved and causes trouble, the reputation of the Zhu family will inevitably be damaged.
And if these things were caused by her, Ji Ling would be even less likely to forgive herself.
"So what if she doesn't know? Buling is not Ji Ke's mother. What does what Ji Ke does have to do with Xiaoling?" Ma Hui realized something was wrong, and seeing that Ji Ling was slow to speak, she took the initiative to step forward.
From beginning to end, the smile on Wang Wanxia's face never changed, and the way she looked at Ma Hui was more like she was looking at a willful and ignorant child.
Ma Hui couldn't stand such a look, "Am I wrong? Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji are here, so they will naturally manage what Ji Ke does. Xiaoling is just a sister, and she's married, so what does she have to do with Xiaoling? She's not a real sister, but a younger brother-in-law, and she's a member of the Zhu family, so it's not Xiaoling's business to manage what she does. Why are you saying this to Xiaoling?"
With Ma Hui's words, Ji Ling calmed down. She took over the conversation, "You are right. What Ji Ke does has nothing to do with me. What she does in my name has even less to do with me. As for what you said, I will find Ji Ke when I return to the capital and explain it to you face to face."
Wang Sanmei looked at her coldly, "Mom, I only have these few friends, and they are all here today. Let me make it clear, don't do anything in my name again. This is the first and last time. If it happens a second time, you know what I will do."
Lian Qin's expression changed. "Child, I am doing this for Manhua's own good. If she doesn't like it, then she doesn't like it. She's not angry yet, why are you so anxious?"
"You know what you are planning, and so do I. What choice did you and my father make back then? I can endure it because I am giving you back your kindness. Now I have my own family. If you force me again, I will fight you to the death." Wang Sanmei's eyes were red. "I know you can't bear to see me living a good life. I also tell you that my stomach is still flat. You can make a fuss as much as you can. In the end, I divorce you. See what you can get?"
Lian Qin's expression changed.
"Let's go." Ji Ling called to her friends.
All that needed to be said was said, and several people followed Ji Ling out of Wang's house. It was a cold winter night, and they saw a figure standing under the street light at the entrance of the alley.
"Brother-in-law is here to pick you up." Ma Hui pushed Ji Ling with a smile, "Hurry up and run a few steps. I don't know how long you've been freezing. We'll go play with you tomorrow."
Ji Ling also knew that even if she stayed here, she wouldn't be able to say much, so she made an appointment with the three of them to go to her home tomorrow and quickly ran to the entrance of the alley.
Zhu Weidong went to Ma Hui's house first, asked for the address and knocked on the door, but no one was there. He didn't know where his wife had gone, but thought of waiting for a while at the intersection.
I had only been standing there for more than ten minutes when I saw my wife and a few friends coming out of a house and they were the first to jog over.
As soon as the person ran to him, Zhu Weidong opened his coat and held the person in his arms.
Ji Ling also buried her face in his arms and hugged his waist tightly. Zhu Weidong's waist stiffened slightly.
"Are you in a bad mood?" He felt it.
Ji Ling hummed with a nasal sound, and she said in a muffled voice, "Let's go home first."
Zhu Weidong hugged his wife in his arms and said, "Okay."
Ji Ling changed from lying in her husband's arms to leaning in his arms, and the two walked home.
The three people in the alley lived here, but they watched Ji Ling and her husband divorce before they spoke up.
"The scene where Xiaoling threw herself into her brother-in-law's arms just now was so romantic."
"It would be nice if it snowed a little more."
"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't the road covered with snow?" Dong Manhua replied to the two.
Among the three, only Dong Manhua is still unmarried. Although the other two are married, they have never been so romantic.
Wang Sanmei also wanted to go home, but she saw that Xiaoling was in a bad mood, so she went back slowly and by herself.
