In the evening, Ji Ling returned to her own home instead of returning to the compound.

I was surprised to see Qian Xiangqian and Zheng Shi at home.

Zheng Shi gave her a big hug. After letting go of Ji Ling, he saw Ji Ling's surprised expression and felt very proud.

He asked, "Is it a surprise?"

Ji Ling nodded, "Why didn't you two tell me you were coming?"

Zheng Shi said, "That would be boring, and there would be no surprises. It would be better this way."

Seeing such grown-ups still so unruly, Ji Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was very happy to see the two of them. Ji Yong said that they had not eaten yet, and that they would go out to eat when she came back, and urged them to go out to eat.

Ji Ling took the two of them to a restaurant near the community. As soon as the three of them entered, before they even ordered any money, Zheng Shi started yelling for more wine.

Ji Ling wanted to stop him, but Qian Xiangqian stopped her, "Let him order, he's in a bad mood today."

Ji Ling was surprised and looked at Zheng Shi who was going to get the wine. "I didn't see that."

Qian Xiangqian smiled and said, "He's already grown up, how can you tell that he's in a bad mood? Let him drink, but he won't cause trouble."

Ji Ling was even more puzzled. "What happened?"

Qian Xiangqian said, "You will know when the time comes."

Seeing that Qian Xiangqian didn't say anything, Ji Ling didn't ask any more questions.

Zheng Shi came back with the wine, sat down, opened the beer first, and then asked the two to drink together.

Having come from far away and being in a bad mood, Ji Ling naturally had to drink since she was willing to accompany him. When the dishes came, she found that the brothers Zhu Yaowu and Zhu Weidong came over. Ji Ling guessed that they were called over by Qian Xiangqian and the others.

One after another, the other three members of the Zhu family also arrived.

With so many people gathered together and drinking, Ji Ling didn't know how much she had drunk in the end.

When she woke up the next day, she found that it was almost noon. She sat up suddenly and heard Zhu Weidong talking behind her.

"The company has asked for leave for you."

Ji Ling turned around and looked at him, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Weidong smiled and said nothing.

After taking a look, Ji Ling realized something was wrong. She was in the bedroom on the second floor of the compound where they used to live, and she and Zhu Weidong were sleeping in the same bed. What's more important is that both of them were naked.

Ji Ling's eyes widened, she pulled back the quilt and tried to put on her clothes, but was stopped by Zhu Weidong from behind.

Zhu Weidong said, "You were the one who said you wanted to go back to the compound last night. Everyone was there. After we got home, you kept asking me to settle accounts. You know I'm not that kind of person."

Ji Ling froze and said, "I can't possibly do that."

Zhu Weidong said, "When I got home last night, my parents saw that you were drunk and told me not to make you angry. That's why I listened to you and went upstairs."

The implication is, if you don't believe me, you should believe them, right? Ji Ling was completely still this time, and even went back to the bed and pulled the quilt over her, "Get out."

Zhu Weidong didn't dare to provoke her at this time. He obediently put on his clothes and went out.

Ji Ling lay back on the bed. She didn’t understand how things turned out like this.

At Ji Ling's unit, Rong Junjie was called out. When he saw that it was Zheng Shi and the others, he knew why they wanted him out.

The three of them found a place outside to sit down and talk, but as soon as they sat down, Zheng Shi was about to take action, but was stopped by Qian Xiangqian.

Zheng Shi said, "We asked you to take care of Xiaoling, not to let you eat grass in your own backyard. You are good, you can't help her, and you are making trouble here. I won't say anything else, just get out of here as soon as possible." (End of this chapter)
