After not going to work for several months, Ji Ling suddenly returned to the company. She was a little busy that day. There were too many things to hand over. Zhu Yaowu was patient, but worried that her body might not be able to handle it, so he planned to complete the handover in a week.

Ji Ling did not agree. People would be worried and upset when they are idle. There had been no news from Zhu Weidong for a long time. The longer the time went by, the more she thought about it. She did not want to put herself in such a situation, so she went back to work and kept herself busy.

When it was time to get off work in the evening and everyone in the office had left, Ji Ling let out the breath she had forced herself to hold, and sat down weakly in the chair.

Zhu Yaowu didn't know what to say to her, "Sister-in-law, you can't do this. You need to adjust your state."

"It's okay. Work can't keep piling up in your department. You've already been given a lot of work in the past two months. You're not the only one in the department." Ji Ling straightened her bent body, rubbed her face, and then stood up with her hands on the table. "Let's go. It's your first day at work. Go home early."

Today was my first day at work, and my mother-in-law called me three times from the hospital. When I was about to get off work in the afternoon, my grandmother also called me twice, saying one thing or another couldn't be found at home.

She is the one who has the least idea where things in the house are kept.

Everyone knew that grandma's excuses were full of loopholes, but no one exposed them because they were worried about her.

Most of the people in the unit had left. When the two came out, there was no one in the yard. They only saw anyone when they arrived at the guard post.

Zhong Yali was holding Lin Liying, trying to persuade her earnestly, "Mom, please stop being like this, okay? If you keep making trouble, I won't be able to work here anymore."

"I'm here to look for someone, not to quarrel. What are you worried about?" Lin Liying asked her daughter to let go of her while looking into the yard from time to time. When she saw Ji Ling and Zhu Yaowu, she ignored her daughter and shouted at Ji Ling, "Ji Ling, I always say that you are unlucky. If Weidong hadn't married you, how could anything go wrong? I've found out everything. If you hadn't offended people, how could that Gu Baoshan have attacked Weidong?"

Lin Liying's voice was very loud, and she spoke anxiously and hatefully. Zhong Yali was so angry that she tried to cover her mouth several times but was avoided. In the end, she had no choice but to throw herself over.

Plop.

Lin Liying was thrown to the ground and screamed in pain. Suddenly, a hand appeared on her mouth and her voice stopped abruptly.

Lin Liying twisted her body desperately, while her hands were busy trying to pull her daughter off her body.

Zhong Yali covered her mother's mouth with her hand. In order to stop her mother from making trouble, she used all her strength, not caring about the embarrassment, and her face was red.

"Chief Ji, my mother is confused today and has been talking nonsense these days. Don't take it to heart."

Everything just happened too fast, from Lin Liying shouting those words at Ji Ling, to Zhong Yali knocking the person down in the end, and Zhong Yali apologizing to Ji Ling while fighting with her mother. Ji Ling was a little overwhelmed.

Or perhaps it could be said that ever since her husband's accident, Ji Ling's reactions have become a little slow, and she seems absent-minded no matter what happens.

Zhu Yaowu's reaction was more intense. "Aunt, my eldest brother is in trouble, you can't say anything nice, and you came here to make trouble. You really don't care about the feelings of my grandfather and grandmother. If you want to make trouble, don't come here. Our Zhu family is not afraid of being embarrassed. In the end, it is your daughter who will be embarrassed. After all, you are her mother."

Zhong Yali's face flushed, and the mother under her, who had just stopped resisting, began to struggle violently again.

She tried hard, "Chief Zhu, I'm sorry."

Zhu Yaowu's eyes moved to her face, not missing the embarrassment on her face, "Let her go, let her make a scene, I want to see what vicious words she can say."

Zhu Yaowu dared to listen, and Zhong Yali couldn't let her mother say anything.

She just kept lowering her head to admit her mistakes, while at the same time persuading her mother.

"Mom, if you keep making trouble, I won't come to work tomorrow. Is this okay?" In the end, there was really no other way, so Zhong Yali gave up her job.

The body that was struggling to get up stopped moving.

Zhong Yali let go of her hand and climbed up. She was so red and hot that she felt like a steam engine. "Chief Ji, Chief Zhu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Ji Ling said calmly, "You've worked hard enough. It's getting late. Let's go."

"Ji Ling, what do you mean by that?" Lin Liying pulled at her clothes, rubbing her waist with one hand, but staring at Ji Ling closely. "In front of me, you tried to sow discord between us mother and daughter. When I said you were not a good person, no one believed me. Now everyone is watching, how do you explain it?"

Ji Ling looked back at her, "I have nothing to explain. What I said is the truth. It is Zhong Yali's sorrow to have a mother like you."

After several contacts, this was the first time that Ji Ling faced Lin Liying head-on.

Lin Liying was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, she exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

She took two steps at a time, bumped into her daughter, and ran straight towards Ji Ling.

“Pah.”

Before Lin Liying even touched anyone, she was slapped in the face.

Ji Ling, who had hit someone, took a few steps back, distanced herself from Lin Liying, and pursed her lips.

"You dare to hit me?" Lin Liying was stunned.

Even everyone present was stunned.

Zhu Yaowu was also surprised that his sister-in-law had hit him. Over the years, his aunt had made trouble at home, and the only severe thing she said was once, by her grandmother, let alone hitting someone.

Zhong Yali didn't expect Ji Ling to be so tough and took action directly.

Logically, she should be angry, but instead, she felt relieved.

It was a little after five in the evening of October and it was already dark. The small lamp hanging on the guard door swayed gently in the breeze, like a bamboo pole that suddenly broke into the lake, and the quiet water immediately came alive again.

Ji Ling's gaze at this moment was like a light that suddenly appeared in the darkness, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at it.

"If you mention Zhu Weidong again, I will still beat you up. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Lin Liying shouted, "You dare."

“You can try.”

Lin Liying pursed her lips, her nostrils bulged, her eyeballs bulged out, and she stared at Ji Ling in silence.

No one standing around said anything.

Time passed little by little, and even the security guard standing not far away slowed down his breathing.

"Mom, let's go." Zhong Yali pulled her mother over and saw that she was standing still. "If you don't leave, I will leave."

"Just wait for me." Lin Liying threatened fiercely and followed her daughter reluctantly.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Zhu Yaowu asked worriedly.

"It's okay, let's go home." Ji Ling curled the corners of her mouth. She clearly wanted to laugh, but it looked uglier than crying.

Zhu Yaowu sighed, "I'll tell grandma about this when I get back."
