Wang Sanmei saw her swollen lips and opened her mouth in slight surprise.

Ji Ling understood immediately, her face flushed as she lied, "The boss just made a spicy dish, I happened to see it and tried it, I didn't expect it to be this spicy."

Wang Sanmei didn't believe it, but she didn't expose her. As for Zheng Shi, Qian Xiangqian was holding Ji Ling's hand in the car, and he kept talking to Qian Xiangqian after getting off the car, and even started drinking beer after entering the house, so he didn't notice Ji Ling's abnormality.

Mr. Xu was happy and Zheng Shi was talkative, so he drank a lot of wine with the old man. In the end, he was helped out of the restaurant by Ji Jianhua.

Ji Jianhua threw the man into the car and said angrily, "If you dare to drink again next time, I will throw you into the river first."

Ji Ling looked at him and smiled. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that whenever they had a meal together over the years, Zheng Shi would drink a lot and would always be carried back by others.

On the way back, Qian Xiangqian drove Zheng Shi's car to send the two elderly people from the Xu family back first, and then he and Ji Jianhua drove another car, and the two cars returned to Bei County together.

It was already late, so Old Lady Xu asked them to stay for one night before going back. Ji Jianhua said that his parents had prepared dinner and were waiting for them at home, and then he let them go after giving them some instructions for a long time.

It takes more than two hours to drive from Taipei City to Bei County, and the group was in no hurry. When they returned to Ji's house in Bei County, it was just past five in the evening, time for dinner.

We had lunch late and ate a lot, so several of us didn’t eat much.

Qian Xiangqian and Zheng Shi went back to their grandparents' house after dinner, and then the family sat down to talk.

Ji Ling told Ji Jianhua why she was taking a vacation, and only then did Ji Jianhua realize that his sister's rest was related to them.

He cursed angrily, "Xu Ming caused this trouble on purpose."

Wang Sanmei's face also looked unhappy, "Xiaoling, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"It's okay. I just wanted to rest. And it's not just because he went over to make trouble. There were also some people who wanted to find fault with me because I was a section chief at a young age. Now they have caught me."

Even though she knew that Xiaoling was not trying to comfort them, and that was the truth, Wang Sanmei still felt bad.

"Has Wang Ermei contacted you again?" Ji Ling asked.

Wang Sanmei shook her head. "My mother came here to look for me, but I didn't respond. I didn't dare to do anything with my mother-in-law around, so I had to leave."

Ji Ling nodded, "Now they have made trouble in every place they can, and if it doesn't work, they won't make trouble again."

Xu Fang said, "The last time Sanmei's mother came over, she said that if Ermei got divorced, it would be Sanmei's fault. I'm afraid that the Xu family really doesn't want Wang Ermei, and the Wang family will blame Sanmei for this mistake."

"Let them blame me and let them make trouble. I haven't settled accounts with them yet, but they still dare to come and make trouble. Let me see how I deal with them." Ji Jianhua said sinisterly, "In the past, I respected them as Sanmei's parents. But if people don't respect them as elders, it's their fault."

Wang Sanmei was also embarrassed and said, "No need, I will go back to find them tomorrow. My dad wants to save face, so I will go over and make a scene, and they will stop."

"Okay, I'll go back with you, and we can talk about Xu Ming's matter."

After making an agreement with his wife, Ji Jianhua's expression eased, "Xiaoling, since you are back and on vacation, stay at home for a few more days."

"Brother, you have to help me find someone to inquire about Chen Jingming. Didn't he bring a baby back? Find out who his girlfriend is and where she gave birth."

Ji Jianhua asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"When I first met him, he told me about the baby in my belly, and I also wanted to ask about his side." Ji Ling explained the reason why she was paying attention to Chen Jingming.

Ji Ling also asked about Ji Ke.

"She said it was my and your father's fault that the child was gone. She was such a heartless person that she took the money from home and left. She can go wherever she wants. Because of her, your father and I have lost all the people we should have lost in our lives. We have done our best for her."

Xu Fang has now let things go. To be honest, she is no longer worried about her little daughter. Instead, when her husband sometimes looks worried, she is the one who persuades him.

It was getting late. Ji Ling had been on the bus for several more days, so Xu Fang took her daughter to bed early.

In a remote courtyard in Bei County, Ji Ke heard the news brought back by his friend, "Are you serious? Ji Ling is back?"

"Well, I heard from the neighbors that she seems to be on vacation, a very long vacation, and will stay at home for some time." The woman's name is Xiang Yu. She was Ji Ke's classmate in junior high school. She got married after graduating from junior high school. She divorced the second year after her marriage. She had no job, so she lived on the money she earned from having affairs with men outside.

After Ji Ke got into trouble, no friends came to look for her. Instead, it was Xiang Yu, who had a bad reputation, who came to look for her. After Ji Ke left home, she moved in with Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu came close to her and said, "Are you stupid? Your parents have such a big business and a huge fortune. If you run away from home like this, will you still have a share in the future? I won't leave even if I chase you away."

Ji Ke didn't say anything.

Xiang Yu said, "Okay, okay, okay, if you don't want to listen, I won't advise you. Think about it carefully."

Ji Ke said, "I was wondering why Ji Ling came back suddenly? You don't know her job, it's impossible for her to take leave all the time, but she always takes leave for something, which always feels weird."

"You won't be fired, will you?"

Ji Ke was stunned for a moment, "It's really possible."

Xiang Yu smiled, "That's great, that's exactly what you want."

Ji Ke sneered, "Even though she has no job, she still has money. She is a partner in my eldest brother's factory. Others would feel that the sky has fallen when they lose their jobs, but for her, not having a job has no impact. On the contrary, she feels free."

Xiang Yu was jealous and said, "Why is she so lucky? You are obviously the biological child of the Ji family, right? She is an outsider, and your eldest brother and your parents are biased towards her. I don't know how she managed to win them over."

Ji Ke felt heavy-hearted. This was also the reason why she resented her family. She was obviously the biological child, but everything in the family favored Ji Ling.

"I think the more this happens, the more you shouldn't be outside. That would be a sign of weakness. Now she's back, and that's your home. Why should you hide out? She should be the one to leave." Xiang Yu provoked him mischievously, "And what if your parents see that she has no job and want to give the family business to her? Aren't you worried?"

Ji Ke was finally persuaded. She just didn't want to see Ji Ling feel happy.

He discussed with Xiang Yu for half the night and decided to go home the next day, so they both went to bed early.

The next day, Ji Ke suddenly came back, which really caught his family off guard.

I can’t ask: Why did you come back?

But just as the eldest daughter came back, the younger daughter who ran away from home came back as well. It was obvious that the old man had other intentions.

As soon as Ji Ke came in, he shouted, "My room is untouched, right?"

She glanced at Ji Ling unkindly.
