Ji Ke turned around and sat back in the chair, looking up at Chen Jingming, "You know Luo Li too, right? You are all in the same group. You all hate the Ji family and Ji Ling, but you have no other choice, so you set your sights on me."

"I know all this, but I just want you to know that I would rather betray my family for you, but it seems that I was wrong. My deep affection for you makes me look like a fool in your eyes."

When saying this, Ji Ke was neither hysterical nor sad. His expression was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

At this point, Chen Jingming no longer needed to pretend. He also pulled a chair and sat down. "Yes, no matter what you do, I can't fall in love with you."

"You love Ji Ling, right?"

Chen Jingming was stunned for a moment.

He didn't say anything, and Ji Ke laughed, "I knew I was right. You see, you have a morbid love for Ji Ling. She hurt you, and you can't have her, so you want her even more."

Chen Jingming's face turned cold, "Ji Ke, this is my business."

"Yes, it's your business." Ji Ke turned his head away, his face suddenly turned cold, "I can help you, but the condition I set is still the same. I want to get engaged."

She suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Jingming, "After the engagement, you will have more opportunities to see Ji Ling. Maybe you can get the upper hand."

Facing her sarcasm, Chen Jingming didn't care and stood up calmly, "Let's do it this way. I'll tell my family tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back to the compound early tomorrow morning."

Chen Jingming left, and Ji Ke still sat in the chair in silence.

Thinking back on all that she had done, it was all because of Ji Ling. Now even if she wanted to get engaged to the man she loved, she still had to rely on Ji Ling.

What a mockery.

The next day, Ji Ling drove back to Bei County with her parents early in the morning, but Ji Jianhua and Wang Sanmei, who had been holding back for a day, finally came.

Ji Ling stayed in the car holding her daughter and did not get out. Ji Yong got out with a sullen face.

"Didn't I tell you not to come over? Why don't you obey?"

"Dad, Niuniu is back, we want to come and see her."

"People have seen it, go back."

"Dad." Ji Jianhua looked at his father pleadingly, "Please ask for mercy for Sanmei and me. Sanmei and I already know we are wrong."

Wang Sanmei lowered her head and remained silent.

"Let's go back." Ji Yong didn't want to say any more to the two of them. He turned around, got in the car, started the car, and drove away around the two of them.

"Let's go back first. Xiaoling is still angry and she suddenly brought Niuniu back. I'm afraid she has fallen out with the Zhu family. She doesn't want to see us at this time."

Ji Jianhua pursed his lips and said after a while, "Let's go see grandma and the others."

Wang Sanmei didn't want to.

Ever since she had a falling out with Ji Ling, she didn't dare face Ji Jianhua's family.

When she entered the house, Wang Sanmei felt very uncomfortable all over.

Old Mrs. Xu learned what happened from her daughter, and she was not happy with the two men. "Your parents are back, so we don't need you to look after us anymore. Go and do your own things."

"No matter how busy I am, I can't miss the time to see you." Ji Jianhua leaned over, "Grandma, I want to eat the dumplings you made."

"I'm old, let's do it another day."

Old Mrs. Xu showed indifference both times, and Ji Jianhua lost the desire to flatter her. After sitting for a while and finding it awkward that no one paid attention to them, he stood up and said goodbye.

Back in the car, Wang Sanmei complained, "What did I say?"

"Grandma is in a bad mood. They have been feeling guilty about Xiaoling. If the two of us did something wrong and Grandma and the others didn't stand on Xiaoling's side, then they are no different from us, right?"

"Same as us? What did we do to Xiaoling? You make it sound like we are the most heinous criminals."

Wang Sanmei's breath got stuck in her throat and she almost suffocated.

She has a bad temper? She is not a good person? Isn't everyone on Ji Ling's side? Wang Sanmei doesn't understand what's wrong with her. She dislikes Ji Ling more and more now. She doesn't understand why she used to think Ji Ling was so good.

"Okay, I won't say any more." Ji Jianhua was too lazy to say more.

Now they quarrel whenever they talk, and he is fed up with it.

Wang Sanmei felt so aggrieved when she saw his attitude that she cried all the way back to the company. After she got off the car, Ji Jianhua said he had something to do and drove away.

Wang Sanmei was thrown at the factory gate. She stared blankly at the car driving away, and couldn't believe that Ji Jianhua really left her here alone.

As for Ji Ke, he stopped a car on the road.

When Ji Yong saw his daughter suddenly stop the car, he was so scared that his blood pressure soared. After getting out of the car, he slapped her without saying a word.

Ji Ke was not angry after being slapped. He looked up and smiled at Ji Yong, "Dad, it's you guys. I was thinking of scamming you to get some money."

Ji Yong wanted to attack again but was stopped by Xu Fang who got off the car later.

"She's crazy, don't go crazy with her."

"Dad, why are you in Taipei? Are you going home? I can go back with you guys."

"No." Ji Yong refused without thinking, "You want a house, I bought it for you, and you have living expenses every month, what else do you want to do?"

"Dad, I just want to go home. I am your daughter."

"Dad, let her get in the car." The car door opened, and Ji Ling got out of the car holding her daughter. She glanced at Ji Ke indifferently, turned around and went back to the car.

Ji Ke came out suddenly, but it wasn't such a coincidence. Had he been waiting here for a long time?

Ji Ke showed up, and it was entirely possible that Chen Jingming had set his eyes on her.

Well, now that it’s offered to her, how could she not accept it?

After Ji Ke got in the car, she sat in the passenger seat. She turned sideways and said, "Niuniu has grown so big? She is getting cuter and cuter."

Niu Niu stuck out her tongue at her, made a face, and then buried her face in her mother's arms.

Ji Ling smiled and kissed her daughter's head before looking back at Ji Ke. "The child doesn't like you. If you want to take the bus back, just shut up."

Ji Ke smiled and turned around obediently.

Outside, Xu Fang also persuaded her husband, and then they got into the car. Naturally, she didn't know about their conversation.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was very bad because of Ji Ke's joining.

Ji Ling was too lazy to pay attention to her. She stuffed Niu Niu into her mother's arms, and then called the number Zhu Weiming gave her.

That’s the phone number of Aunt Cao Yehong’s home.

"My name is Ji Ling. I will be in Bei County this afternoon. I want to meet Cao Yehong. Maybe I can ask her to come to the furniture store to see me directly."

Ji Ling signed up directly, which surprised Aunt Cao. She turned her head to look at her niece behind her.

Cao Yehong was still confused, "What's wrong?"

"Looking for you. Ji Ling."

Cao Yehong narrowed her eyes, then smiled and excitedly took the phone, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course there is something. Do you want to come over or should I go over?" Ji Ling didn't waste time talking to her.

"I'll come find you." Cao Yehong regretted it after saying it, "You come find me."
