"Do you have a grudge against my eldest brother? Why do you always mention him?"

"Third brother." Zhu Weiming called him disapprovingly.

Zhu Weiyue curled his lips and stopped talking.

Rong Junjie smiled and said, "It's okay. We are not outsiders. I won't argue with anything you say."

He sat down next to Ji Ling. "You've been on leave these few days, and the people in the department are not happy. It's not easy for you to come back, but you've only been on duty for a few days and you're asking for leave again. They all told me that I can't approve your leave."

This sounded like someone was unhappy, but it also indirectly meant that the employees below agreed with Ji Ling.

Ji Ling smiled, "In that case, I have to ask for more leave."

The dishes came and Ji Ling also drank some wine together for the rare occasion.

When we returned to the compound in the evening, it was already late at night.

Zhu Weidong was waiting in the living room, and Ji Ling went straight upstairs.

Zhu Wei Yue and the others didn't want to pay attention to him, but were stopped by Zhu Weiming and returned to the living room to sit down.

"Is it born? Is it a boy or a girl?" Zhu Weiyue said in a bad tone.

Zhu Weidong frowned, "Boy."

"Oh, it's a son, why isn't he staying in the hospital? What are you doing back here?"

"I can't just ignore this matter. She chased me to the mountain just to cause trouble. Grandpa is old, and I can't let him worry about her."

Zhu Weiyue didn't want to hear this. "If you take your people away, grandpa won't be angry anymore? Brother, you can fool yourself, but do you think you can fool us?"

"I didn't lie to you. I told you the truth."

Zhu Weiyue was furious after holding back his anger all night. "Brother, what do you think we should do now? Now that the child is born, what if she comes to the compound with the child if you don't care? It's not your child. If you give in again and again, she will only think you are easy to control and then she will rely on you. What about my sister-in-law? Is this fair to her?"

Zhu Weidong remained silent.

"You can't answer it either, right? Did you take leave to come back to accompany us, or to accompany Cao Yehong to give birth? I really doubt that you came back to accompany Cao Yehong to give birth."

Even come back to disgust them.

Zhu Weiyue left angrily.

Zhu Heping pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhu Weiming said, "Brother, what Third Brother said is right, you can't do this anymore, otherwise you and your sister-in-law will really be finished."

"I know. I've made it clear to Cao Yehong. I won't interfere in her affairs anymore. She can make a fuss if she wants. The doctor said the child was full-term and is definitely not mine." Zhu Weidong didn't want to say such things as these, but when he saw his brothers' misunderstanding, he said it anyway.

Zhu Weiming nodded, "Just make sure the child is not yours. Then the only reason she can pester you is that she slept with you."

Overslept.

Zhu Weidong frowned but did not refute. This was indeed the case.

"So what are you going to do next?"

"If you don't tell me, that means you haven't thought of it yet. Let me tell you a way. When facing someone like Cao Yehong, the easiest way is to directly and rudely deny that you had sex with her. You have lost your memory during that period, so you can just say that Cao Yehong just wanted to put the blame on you and bite back. Do you understand?" Zhu Weiming couldn't bear it anymore. The person was so stupid, so he could only speak.

"Okay." Zhu Weidong agreed without thinking.

Zhu Weiming looked at him and said, "Brother, I have already taught you. If you still can't do it, I can't help you."

After taking a deep look at his elder brother, Zhu Weiming said he was tired, and got up to go back to rest.

Zhu Weidong sat alone in the living room. His home used to be very lively, but now it felt empty.

I knocked on the door gently, but there was no sound from inside.

He wanted to leave, but hesitated and knocked on the door again.

Still no one paid any attention to him.

Zhu Weidong said, "Ji Ling, I know you are not asleep, I want to talk to you."

No one spoke inside.

Zhu Weidong just kept talking to himself, "The doctor said the baby was not born prematurely, but full-term, and the baby is not mine. Although I have no memory of that period, I believe that I definitely did not have anything with Cao Yehong."

"I know what happened on the mountain today made you very disappointed. I won't let this happen again."

"I will not contact Cao Yehong anymore. As far as the child is concerned, she has no reason to come to me again. If she comes to me, I will not see her, and I will not be soft-hearted."

There was still no sound from inside, and Zhu Weidong felt indescribably disappointed.

He knew that what was happening between him and Ji Ling was not right, but he didn't know how to change it.

Time passed little by little, and when Ji Ling heard no sound outside, she gently turned over.

She heard everything Zhu Weidong said, but she didn't know how to trust him or face him.

What happened on the mountain during the day really hurt her heart. Zhu Weidong is not a child, and this kind of thing has happened to him many times.

Faced with his choices, it was Ji Ling who was abandoned again and again.

The feeling of being abandoned is not pleasant. You won’t know it unless you experience it yourself.

Being abandoned by the person you care about the most is an indescribable pain.

Once or twice, Ji Ling felt that if this continued, she really couldn't hold on any longer.

So now she chooses to let go.

Yes, after coming back in the evening, she was not confused because of drinking. She had been thinking about how to deal with the matter between her and Zhu Weidong.

Since Zhu Weidong cannot change, the smartest decision is to let him go.

After making the decision, Ji Ling found Zhu Weidong early the next morning and told him her idea.

Zhu Weidong remained silent.

Ji Ling said, "That's it. After you leave, I will move back to my own home. If you find someone suitable, you can find another one. I will do the same. Let's both live happily."

She didn't expect Zhu Weidong to keep her, it was just that she didn't want him anymore.

Ji Ling left the study and could hear the children's laughter on the second floor. She adjusted her expression and went downstairs.

Zhu Weidong thought he could get rid of Cao Yehong, but that morning Cao Yehong called home again.

Kong Siya answered the phone. After hearing Cao Yehong's voice, she said coldly, "If you still have shame, please don't call my house again in the future."

After that, the phone was hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Kong Siya told Zhu Weiyue beside her, "Go apply for a new number for your home, so that people who don't know the depth of the situation won't keep calling your home."

Zhu Weiyue stood up without delay.

Zhu Weidong was completely ignored, which made him feel very embarrassed sitting here.

Ji Ling pretended not to see anything. When her mother-in-law was talking, she covered her daughter's ears, not wanting her daughter to hear those messy things.
