But as a mother, how can I not feel sorry for my daughter?

Xu Fang couldn't help but shed tears again. She only controlled her emotions after Ji Jianhua and Qian Xiangqian came back.

We were having hotpot at home, and my parents came over. Except for Ji Ke, it was the first time that the whole family was together.

No one mentioned Ji Ke, and they happily had dinner together and celebrated the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

After dark, there were many people setting off fireworks in the yard. Qian Xiangqian came over and asked, "Want to set off some?"

Ji Ling said, "I'd better not go out now."

She needs to take good care of her body now.

"My brother and I bought some at noon. We'll go outside and show them to you." Qian Xiangqian's voice was full of doting.

Ji Ling smiled, "Okay."

Both of them tried different ways to make her happy, and if she refused again, she would be letting them down.

Having lost her child and her family, Ji Ling didn't want to hold on any longer at this moment. She just wanted to have someone to rely on.

"Xiaoling, you don't have to keep holding on. If you're not happy, I can take you away."

Only then did Ji Ling realize that Qian Xiangqian had not left. She turned around, looked at the man who was looking at her with burning eyes, and slowly pulled the corners of her lips apart.

"Xiang Qian, thank you."

Qian Xiangqian also smiled. He was quiet and gentle, and his smile made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. "You watch here, my brother and I will go set off the fireworks."

Qian Xiangqian left and Wang Sanmei just came in.

She watched Qian Xiangqian leave and asked curiously, "What did you say to him that made him so happy?"

Ji Ling, "Is there?"

"I knew you were in trouble, and apart from smiling at you, I never spoke to anyone else. Even when I smiled at you, I was worried. But just now I saw that he was the same person as before."

Ji Ling thought about it and realized that it was exactly what Sanmei said.

Wang Sanmei walked up to her and said, "Mom and Dad are asleep."

Ji Ling looked out the window. Wang Sanmei looked over and saw her husband and Qian Xiangqian. She smiled when she saw them lighting fireworks.

At this moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang. Wang Sanmei ran over, afraid to wake up her parents-in-law.

Ji Ling tilted her ear and heard Wang Sanmei talking to someone on the phone. Her voice was low and unclear, so she turned her attention back to the window.

The fireworks were beautiful, and because there were so many of them, it wasn't long before Ji Jianhua and Qian Xiangqian were surrounded by a group of children.

Even if you are not with them, you can still feel the joy there.

Finally, everyone left, and Ji Ling found that Sanmei, who had answered the phone, had not returned yet. Although her voice was suppressed, it was filled with anger.

Ji Ling walked over, and then she heard Wang Sanmei say, "Wang Ermei, don't go too far. Whether you live a good life is your business. What does it have to do with me? You took away my university place, and then you planned to make me marry a disabled person. What qualifications do you have to say that I stole your happiness?"

At the end, Wang Sanmei said with a cruel tone, "If you push me again, I will report you to the school for using my name to go to college. If you come to provoke me, you'd better consider whether you can bear the consequences."

With a click, Wang Sanmei hung up the phone.

At this time, Ji Jianhua and Qian Xiangqian also came back.

As soon as someone comes in, the house becomes lively.

Ji Ling was worried about Sanmei, so she didn't ask any more questions. When Zhu Yaowu and the others heard that Ji Yong and his wife had arrived, they lowered their voices.

The four people were carrying things that were all bought on the street. There were many people watching the lanterns tonight, and they knew that Ji Ling couldn't go out, so they bought everything they saw that was interesting.

"I'm not a child. You should hurry up and get married. Don't let your parents worry about it."

"There's no rush to get married. Just get married when you meet the right person." Zhu Weiyue is used to being urged to get married. He used to be annoyed, but now whenever someone urges him to get married, he responds more eloquently than anyone else, leaving you at a loss for what to say next to persuade him.

It was getting late, so the few people didn't stay long. They just said a few words and left.

Wang Sanmei stayed, and Ji Jianhua and Qian Xiangqian had to leave as well. After seeing them off and lying down to rest, Ji Ling asked about the phone call.

Wang Sanmei had been holding it in until now, and the anger in her heart has subsided. She was very calm when she talked about Wang Ermei's call.

Wang Ermei is not living a good life now. After she got married, she gave birth to a girl and her life in her husband's family is not easy. In recent years, her husband's family has intended to let Wang Ermei have another child, but Wang Ermei has a job and she will lose her job if she has more than one child.

But her husband's family didn't care about that and would divorce her if Wang Ermei didn't give birth.

Wang Ermei had no support from her mother's family, so she remembered Wang Sanmei at this time. She found out that Ji Ling was looking for Wang Sanmei here, wanting Wang Sanmei to support her. When Wang Sanmei refused, she began to threaten her, saying that Wang Sanmei would replace her identity.

Wang Sanmei had not yet settled the score with her for the college entrance examination incident. Now that she was threatening her, she almost rushed over and slapped Wang Ermei twice.

What’s even more hateful is that Wang Ermei acted on her own and got to know some business people in the name of Ji Jianhua, gaining a lot of benefits for her husband’s family.

Wang Sanmei was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she was afraid of disturbing her parents-in-law, so she had to hang up the phone.

"I'm going to look for Wang Ermei tomorrow, as well as the business people. I also have to talk to your eldest brother and ask him to tell those friends not to be fooled." Wang Sanmei felt depressed.

Ji Ling, "Don't get upset about this, my eldest brother can just go and talk to him."

"I'm not angry, I'm just disgusted. Wang Ermei disgusts me, and her in-laws disgust me even more. This time, my family told me we were coming over. Just now, Wang Ermei said on the phone that she would come to visit tomorrow. Who does she think she is? If she dares to come over, I will kick her out."

Ji Ling smiled, "You should be happy now. Wang Ermei has stolen your identity, and she is not living a good life either."

Wang Sanmei laughed angrily, "Yes, karma will come true, God is fair."

It was getting late. Ji Ling had to go with Zhu Weidong to handle some formalities tomorrow. Zhu Yaowu had already been told this when he left in the evening.

They both fell asleep.

The next day, Ji Ling wrapped herself tightly and took a car to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, as soon as Ji Ling got out of the car, she saw Zhu Weidong. He was wearing a black cashmere coat. He had lost a lot of weight in the past six months, and his cold and hard face became more angular.

The formalities were completed quickly. After completing them, Ji Ling had nothing to say to Zhu Weidong and just turned around and left.

Zhu Weidong followed, but didn't speak until they were outside, "Xiaoling, if you have anything in the future, just call me directly."

Ji Ling stopped and looked back, "We are divorced, so it is better not to contact each other in the future. It will be good for both you and me."

After saying this, Ji Ling strode away.

Only after getting in the car did she realize that her hands were shaking slightly.

Xu Fang stayed in the car and held her daughter's hand. "It's okay. Mom and Dad are here. No one will bully you again." (End of this chapter)
