Everyone was there, and when Wei Kun came out angrily, everyone was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Ji Jianhua went forward first.
Wei Kun glanced at him and walked straight to Zheng Shi and the others.
"I don't agree with letting Ji Ling be the bait. The man named Zhong Jiwen is targeting the Ji family. He targeted Ji Ling because he wanted to get benefits from the Ji family. I will send Ji Ling back to the capital tomorrow, and I will deal with Zhong Jiwen here."
Zheng Shi was unhappy when he heard this. "What do you mean by that? You mean we can't protect Xiaoling and we are pitting her, right?"
Wei Kun is half a head taller than Zheng Shi. When talking to Zheng Shi, he lowered his head, which made him look more powerful than the other person.
Just because of this, Zheng Shi was dissatisfied.
"How capable you are is your business, but we are not as cowardly as you think, pushing Xiaoling into danger."
"Alright, stop arguing." Ji Ling came over and pulled Wei Kun back a step. "Because of outsiders' affairs, nothing has happened yet. If you start a quarrel among yourselves first, won't that make outsiders proud?"
Ji Ling also looked at Wei Kun disapprovingly, "When I heard my eldest brother talk about this, I thought of using myself as bait to deal with this matter."
Wei Kun didn't care about that. He was used to being overbearing. "I don't care whose idea it was. You can't get involved in this."
Ji Yong, who was standing by, spoke up at this time, "Jianhua, what's going on?"
Xu Fang also asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by using your sister as bait?"
"Mom and Dad, it's okay." Ji Ling still wanted to suppress the matter.
Seeing that things had turned out like this, Ji Jianhua no longer hid it from his parents and told them that Ji Ke had brought people from society together to plot against Ji Ling.
"How do you know you are going to plot against Xiaoling?" Ji Yong still didn't believe it was true.
Ji Jianhua then told him what happened in the morning. "We have analyzed it. How could a person like Zhong Jiwen be wronged? He must have other purposes. Ji Ling has lived with Xiang Yu for so long, and there is no connection between Zhong Jiwen and her. It can only be Xiaoling. And..."
Ji Jianhua couldn't continue.
Wang Sanmei stepped forward and said, "I overheard it this morning and this afternoon. It was Ji Ke who agreed to trick Xiao Ling out to Xiang Yu."
When her husband and his family went out in the morning, Wang Sanmei was worried and followed them secretly. However, she was afraid of being discovered by her husband and his family, so she went through another alley of the house, which happened to be the north window facing Yu and his family.
In the end, who would have thought that he left late because he was afraid of alerting Xiang Yu and the others, and ended up hearing their plan.
Wang Sanmei didn't dare look at Ji Ling. After she came back, she only told her husband about this and didn't tell Xiaoling. She also had selfish motives. She was afraid that Xiaoling would hate Ji Ke after she knew about it and there would be no chance of reconciliation in the future.
Although she never said it, Wang Sanmei still didn't want her family to go to that step.
But seeing how things had turned out, Wang Sanmei finally felt sorry for Ji Ling and told her the truth that she had overheard.
Ji Ling looked at Wang Sanmei blankly.
Wang Sanmei lowered her head in shame.
"Xiaoling, don't blame your sister-in-law. She doesn't want to make things difficult for me. She wants the whole family to be reunited." Ji Jianhua was also filled with guilt.
With a snap.
Ji Yong threw the cup in his hand. "Nonsense, she is trying to join forces with outsiders to plot against your sister, and you still want your family to be reunited? I think you are confused."
Xu Fang also turned her back and wiped her tears. "We have all seen how much injustice Xiaoling has suffered over the years. You two still want to hide such a big thing? Thank goodness you spoke out, otherwise you would feel guilty for the rest of your life."
Ji Jianhua lowered his head.
Ji Yong's eyes were red, and he didn't know what to scold him to wake up his son and daughter-in-law.
What's the use of realizing it now? They chose to hide it from Xiaoling, which meant they had already given up on Xiaoling.
"Xiaoling, listen to your friends and go back to the capital tomorrow. Don't stay here. Your mother and I are doing a growing business. Some people have been eyeing our business for a long time. Some people followed our example later, but their business is not as profitable as ours. Zhong Jiwen is a social scoundrel who just wants to ruin the reputation of our Ji family and use you to get our family property. If he has this plan, I will block his way."
Ji Yong quickly came up with a solution. "Your mother and I are old, and you have your own lives. We both plan to travel around. The family business will be given to you, your eldest brother. You and your eldest brother will each own half of the assets. As for Ji Ke, we will leave some money for her retirement. When she needs to beg for food one day, your eldest brother will just give her enough for food and daily necessities every month."
Ji Yong's ideas are very advanced, and he is not even greedy to give up such a good career.
Ji Ling said, "Mom and Dad, you are still young. Zhong Jiwen's matter is easy to deal with. If our family is really scared by a gangster like him, then we can't do business in the future. My eldest brother and his family kept it a secret because they didn't want you to be sad."
"Xiaoling, don't explain for them." Xu Fang also blamed her son and daughter-in-law this time, especially looking at Wang Sanmei, "Sanmei, you are worried that I am dissatisfied with you. You know how I am as a mother-in-law all these years since you married into our family. As long as you are doing the right thing, I have never said a word, and I have never been angry with you because of Ji Ke's matter, right?"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
"You never had it before, so you're afraid of losing it after you get it. That's why you favor Ji Ke because you're afraid that I will have opinions about you. I understand. So I don't blame you. I just want to ask you, where do you put Xiaoling by doing this?" Xu Fang didn't want her daughter-in-law to follow her old path.
She was too partial back then and lost the mother-daughter relationship. Although they are back to normal now, the guilt she feels can never be made up for in a lifetime.
Wang Sanmei felt a sore nose and listened silently.
Ji Jianhua wanted to speak up for his wife, but when he looked up and saw Ji Ling, his mouth felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't open it.
"Mom, I'm really fine." Ji Ling felt bad, but she didn't want to make her parents worry. "Don't blame my brother and sister-in-law anymore. I'll listen to you and go back to the capital tomorrow."
Looking back on the three years she and Wang Sanmei had spent together, even though she treated Wang Sanmei as an outsider in the early days, she still helped her sincerely.
But outsiders are outsiders after all.
No matter how sincerely you give, when something happens, people will consider their own selfish desires first, and then others.
"Okay, just listen to me." Ji Yong was not just saying this casually. He had secretly discussed it with his wife long after Ji Ke made a fuss.
Now it was just a matter of making their decision known in advance.
Zheng Shi and Qian Xiangqian also remained silent.
Faced with Ji Jianhua's concealment, the two people felt even more unhappy, as if they were also accomplices and had deceived Xiaoling together.
