It was already evening when Ji Sheng returned home, and his wife He Wan had already prepared dinner.
Ji Sheng and He Wan were college classmates. At the beginning, Ji Sheng fell in love with He Wan at first sight and tried his best to pursue her.
Although the He family does not have the background of the Ji family, it can also be considered a scholarly family.
In addition, Ji Sheng's parents did not have any prejudice against family background, so they got married as soon as they graduated. A year later, they gave birth to their only daughter, Ji Mingyue.
Ji Sheng and He Wan had a deep relationship. Even though He Wan was injured during childbirth, he never blamed her for not being able to give him a son.
He Wan was sitting in the living room. When she heard the noise coming from the door, she hurried forward and said, "Ji Sheng, you're back. Go wash your hands and have dinner!"
As he spoke, he took the shirt that Ji Sheng took off, hung it up for him, and helped him pick up his shoes.
This is a habit that has been developed over many years. I think it started when my daughter Mingyue was two years old.
He Wan didn't understand why her husband suddenly became so particular, but since she was used to it, she didn't seem to think it was a big deal.
Ji Sheng walked to the dining table as usual, sat down, and then looked at He Wan, "Xiao Wan, where is Mingyue? Why can't I see her?"
"Mingyue went to my parents' house. She said she missed her grandparents and had to stay there for a few days."
"Oh, let's eat!"
He Wan and Ji Sheng ate very quietly during the meal, and they could hardly hear the sound of the dishes and chopsticks touching each other.
After dinner, He Wan cleaned the table and kitchen as usual. When she finished, it was already 7:30 in the evening.
As soon as Ji Sheng finished his meal, he went straight to the study.
He Wan walked to the door of the study and saw the man sitting upright inside through the crack in the door. Her eyes gradually became moist.
She didn't understand why Ji Sheng suddenly moved into the study and lived there for more than ten years.
What's more, in the first few years, Ji Sheng didn't even want to touch her.
If she hadn't cried and made a fuss later, Ji Sheng probably would never have touched her in his life.
He Wan had wanted to know the reason countless times, but in the end she didn't get any answer.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed.
All the women around her envied her and said that Ji Sheng only let her give birth to a daughter because he loved her too much.
In fact, this is not the case at all.
The reason why she couldn't have another child was, firstly, because Ji Sheng didn't want to touch her. Even if he did, he had to watch her take the medicine every time. Secondly, it was naturally not as the rumors outside said, because she was injured when giving birth to her daughter. She had asked several famous doctors to check her body and there was no problem at all.
Before, He Wan thought that Ji Sheng had changed his mind.
However, after so many years of observation, He Wan did not find any people or things that were suspicious.
He Wan gradually put her mind at ease and devoted herself to living with her husband.
But recently, for some reason, He Wan found that Ji Sheng left home more and more often, and came home later and later!
"Ji Sheng, are your parents okay?
I hope my absence won't affect my mother's birthday mood!"
After hesitating for a long time, He Wan couldn't help but push open the study door and go in.
Ji Sheng slowly raised his head and looked at He Wan, "I have explained everything to my parents, relatives and friends, don't worry."
After glancing at the clock in the living room, Ji Sheng spoke softly, "Xiao Wan, it's getting late. You should go to bed early!"
Hearing this again, He Wan's grievances surged in her heart, and she spoke with tears in her voice, "It's rare that Mingyue is not at home today, can you please accompany me?"
"What?" It took Ji Sheng a long time to understand what it meant.
He originally wanted to refuse, but looking at He Wan's beautiful face, he suddenly changed his mind, "Okay, you go back to the house first, I'll go later."
That night, He Wan seemed to be back to her wedding night, and she finally regained some vitality.
However, the next day, seeing Ji Sheng’s expressionless face again, He Wan’s heart sank to the bottom again.
How could this happen? Why? What did she do wrong that he would treat her like this?
For more than 20 years, Ji Sheng had no idea how tormented she had been.
He Wan couldn't bear it any longer, so she simply packed a few clothes and ran straight back to her parents' home.
Ji Sheng was unaware of all this because he did not go home that night.
Ji Zhonghai looked at his second son who suddenly appeared at home, as if he understood everything. "If you have anything to ask, go ahead and ask."
"Dad, I heard what you and Mom said yesterday. I want to know what the relationship is between Chen Ruxue and our family."
"Alas! I knew this matter could not be concealed."
Ji Zhonghai did not hide anything and said directly, "The girl named Chen Ruxue is the daughter of the child your mother gave birth to first, and your mother's granddaughter."
“How is this possible!
Didn’t Dad and Mom only give birth to me, my eldest brother, and my third brother? How come another child suddenly appeared? "
When Ji Sheng suddenly heard the news, he suspected that he had heard it wrong, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Don't doubt it, it's all true.
Your mother did marry someone else before she married me, but she was forced to do so. She has always loved me."
Ji Zhonghai roughly told Ji Sheng about the disputes between the previous generation.
"That's right. After your mother faked her death and escaped, she traveled around with me and finally settled in Beijing.
Your mother has had a hard time these years, which is why I asked you to please and coax your mother.
As for Chen Ruxue, you don't have to worry too much about her. She won't have any impact on you.
The mistakes I made back then were my own, and have nothing to do with you. But even now, I still don't regret it. I'm very content to have spent most of my life with your mother."
"But, but I heard that Xiaoyuan seems to have some feelings for this girl named Chen Ruxue."
Ji Sheng had to tell Ji Zhonghai some of the things he knew.
Ji Zhonghai was stunned at first, then he smiled again, "That brat, his eyes are quite good, he is worthy of being my grandson, but he is destined not to be as lucky as me."
Ji Zhonghai's words were filled with complacency, "Second brother, don't worry about this matter, I'll talk to him.
By the way, you should hurry up and finish the important things on hand. Not only should you finish them, you should also do them well."
Ji Zhonghai hinted at something and looked at Ji Sheng meaningfully.
Some things just require understanding. Ji Sheng immediately understood what his father meant, "Yes, Dad, I will definitely work hard."
Ji Sheng finally left happily.
Chen Ruxue stayed in Beijing for more than half a month and then went to Shenzhen again.
This time, she plans to stay for a long time.
Now that her clothing company is on track, she plans to create her own high-end custom clothing brand.
