She chased for a few steps and found that Ji Ling had already opened the car door and got in. She quickened her pace and arrived in front of the car.

"Ji Ling, if you take my things, I will take yours. You owe me this."

Ji Ling glanced at her with a cold gaze, as if saying she was crazy.

With a bang, the car door was slammed shut.

Watching the car leave, Ji Ke stood there alone.

She couldn't understand why Ji Ling was not angry?

This made her feel like she was punching cotton and she couldn't use any strength.

But Ji Ling was of course angry. After Zhu Weiyue fell out with his family over antiques, she had been feeling guilty and felt it was because of her.

Now Ji Ke’s words confirmed her guess that Ji Ke was coming for her and Zhu Weiyue was just a victim.

When Ji Ling returned home with a heavy heart, she noticed that the atmosphere at home was not right. In the past, when she entered the house, she would see her grandmother and Niu Niu waiting for her in the living room, and the smell of food would waft from the kitchen.

Today, there was no one in the huge living room, nor was there the sound of my daughter's laughter and running, nor was there any sign of anyone else.

She hung up her bag, changed her shoes and went into the house. At this time, the door of the study was pushed open and Zhu Yaowu walked out. When he saw Ji Ling, he was stunned for a moment, called her "sister-in-law", and then closed the door behind him.

His movements were quick, but Ji Ling still saw the situation in the study through the gap. Zhu Weiyue was kneeling with his back to the door, his upper body naked, and his back was covered with whip marks.

Ji Ling looked at Zhu Yaowu and asked him what was going on with her eyes.

Zhu Yaowu raised his chin and gestured to go to the second floor, then went to the second floor first, and Ji Ling followed.

There is also a small study room on the second floor, which is usually used as a living room. The Zhu brothers used to gather here to talk and play.

"Wei Yue's goods couldn't be sold, so he ran home and suspected that it was Dad who made a fuss behind his back. Not only did he talk back to Dad, but he also made Mom cry, so Dad beat him." Zhu Yaowu said angrily, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about him, he asked for it. Dad just made a phone call outside and asked people not to sell goods to him in the future, but he didn't say that he couldn't sell them. How could he cheat him?"

Ji Ling sighed, "It was Ji Ke who did it. Ji Ke found me after get off work and told me that he did it just to get revenge on me."

Zhu Yaowu was not angry with Ji Ling, but was furious and cursed, "I knew it was her. She is not a good person. She pretends to be pitiful on the surface, but she is full of bad intentions."

"I'll go talk to Wei Yue." Ji Ling turned and left.

Zhu Yaowu followed.

After knocking on the study door, Ji Ling heard her father-in-law calling her to come in, so she pushed the door open and called out "Dad" first.

Then she told her how Ji Ke found her after get off work and what he said to her. She felt extremely guilty.

"Dad, it's all because of me that Wei Yue was fooled. It's my fault."

"Did you borrow money from outside?" Zhu Chuang did not respond to his daughter-in-law's words, but asked his son who was kneeling on the ground.

Zhu Weiyue pursed his lips and hummed.

Zhu Chuang said, "I have been doing business all my life, and I have only heard people wanting to meet me to make some money, but I never thought that one day I would hear my son going out to borrow money. Great, now that you have the ability and can make money on your own, then you can pay back the money you owe yourself."

The tone clearly showed that he was extremely angry, but he didn't care.

Ji Ling stood there awkwardly, "Dad, this is not Wei Yue's fault, it's because of me."

Zhu Chuang interrupted her, "Xiaoling, it's none of your business. Even if it's because of you, it's just because he's stupid. It has nothing to do with you."

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.

After Ji Ling married into the Zhu family, it was the first time that Zhu Chuang was dissatisfied with Ji Ling as his daughter-in-law.

Zhu Weiyue, who had been bowing his head stubbornly, suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, it's my own fault. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law."

Ji Ling didn't dare to feel dissatisfied, let alone complain, because it was because of her that she lowered her head and let her father-in-law scold her.

The four Zhu brothers looked at their mother for help, but saw that their mother was just looking at the ground with her eyelids drooped, and she didn't intend to say anything more.

The tense atmosphere and Zhu Weiyue's nervous face said, "Dad, I was wrong. I will handle this myself."

Zhu Chuang didn't look at him, his eyes were only on Ji Ling who was standing beside him, "Xiao Ling, tell Ji Ke when you have time that she schemed against the Zhu family and she hit her head against the wall herself. Don't blame anyone if it hurts."

"Dad, I've got it."

"Everyone, go out." Zhu Chuang said no more.

As soon as Zhu Yaowu and the other two got the words, they carried Zhu Weiyue and pulled Ji Ling with them, and hurriedly left the living room.

The few people who were not in the living room on the first floor rushed to the study on the second floor. They angrily threw Zhu Weiyue into the sofa, and the three of them went to comfort Ji Ling.

"Sister-in-law, Dad is in a bad mood, and it's not directed at you."

"It's all Ji Ke's business. It has nothing to do with you."

"If you want to blame someone, blame the third brother. He's the one who caused dad to tell you off."

Zhu Weiyue was about to admit his mistake: Zhu Heping simply picked up the phone and called Zhu Weidong. By the time the people in the room noticed it, the call was connected.

"Brother, Dad scolded my sister-in-law because of the matter with my third brother."

Everyone: Zhu Yaowu snatched the phone and hung up, "Zhu Heping, you big mouth."

"My sister-in-law was scolded. What she needs most now is the comfort of her brother. He is my sister-in-law's man."

Zhu Yaowu: I can’t refute it.

Ring, ring, the phone rang.

Zhu Yaowu glared at him, as if to say, look at what you have done.

Ji Ling walked over and said, "Let me take it."

When she picked up the phone, it was Zhu Weidong calling, probably asking what was going on. Ji Ling told her about her family's affairs.

"It's okay. I'll call you in the evening. Don't call your parents." After giving the instructions, Ji Ling hung up the phone.

She turned around and said to Zhu Yaowu and the other two, "Take care of Wei Yue's injuries. I'll go get the things."

"Sister-in-law, let him stand it. It's his fault that he made you get scolded." Zhu Yaowu crossed his arms across his chest angrily and looked at Zhu Weiyue coldly.

Zhu Weiyue was so angry that he almost died, "Zhu Yaowu, you're never going to stop, are you?"

He had just seen his sister-in-law being scolded, and he felt guilty. He already knew he was wrong, so what else could he do? Zhu Weiyue's grievance was clearly visible on his face, and he no longer had the stubbornness and arrogance he had in the past.

He said angrily, "I admit that I was impulsive after I got home just now, so I said those words. I have been punished. I didn't expect Dad to blame my sister-in-law. It was my fault, and I admit it. What else do you want?"

At the end, Zhu Weiyue's voice choked up. "I like to make money and I like antiques. Others sell antiques to overseas Chinese, but I make fake ones and sell them to them. I keep the real ones. They are our country's things."
