Old Master Ji laughed out loud. The Ji family’s hall had never been so lively. Ever since his blue and white porcelain vase had been broken by that rascal, Ji Wen, he appreciated whoever was beating Ji Wen up.
Feng Qi was busy preparing gifts for the Fang family. She was holding the gift list to check with her husband and had no time to care about her son’s safety. Besides, Fang Xiaonuan looked small. How painful could it be to be hit by her?
Ji Wen thought to himself, I’m done for. I’ve angered the tigress this time!
Before ten o’clock, Ji Lingchen’s car appeared at the door of the house. He got out of the car and asked the servant, “Is the second young madam up?”
The servant said, “Second young master, second young madam got up after you left. She was chasing young master Ji Wen around the house just now!”
Why were the two of them together again?! Ji Lingchen straightened up his tie and strode into the hall. The two people who were fighting just now had stopped. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were sitting opposite each other on the sofa. Old Master Ji who was trying to stifle his laughter was sitting between the two of them.
Old Master Ji seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw that his second son had returned, he waved at him. “Come over and sit down. Just now, your wife vented her anger on me!”
Ji Lingchen sat beside her and looked at his angry little wife. He smiled and asked, “What did you do this time?” With her around, the house was never quiet. It was always lively. The house was now filled with life.
Fang Xiaonuan pointed at Ji Wen, who had already been beaten up, and complained to her husband coquettishly. “Hubby, I was sleeping just now. He woke me up.”
Ji Lingchen looked at the silent Ji Wen and asked, “And then you beat him up?”
Fang Xiaonuan nodded. “Yes! Our dad also provided me with a weapon. Our dad also played a part in beating him up.”
Ji Lingchen looked at his father, who was holding back his laughter. He saw Old Master Ji pick up his walking stick with a smile and said proudly, “Yes, I provided the weapon. I also contributed to this.”
Ji Lingchen was speechless for a moment. His father seemed to be acting a little childish.
Seeing Ji Lingchen return, Fang Xiaonuan realized that she had not contacted her parents, Ji Lingchen said, “It’s too late to hope for you to contact them. Don’t worry! I spoke to your parents in the car this morning. They are waiting at home today.”
At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan felt that it was quite good to have a husband. At least, she could count on him. It was time to go home. Fang Xiaonuan excitedly got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and waited for her husband to drive. Behind her, Mayor Ji’s son got into his car.
Ji Wen’s face was covered with injuries. “Dad, mom, I’ll go with you.”
Feng Qi did not want her son to go. She felt that her son was a little embarrassing. “Wait until your face is better before you go out! For the time being, just stay at home and don’t meet anyone else.”
“No, I have to go to the Fang family.” He wanted to show the Fang family the injuries he had sustained. They were all caused by their bad-tempered daughter.
Mayor Ji did not want to waste time. He said on behalf of Ji Wen, “Forget it. Anyway, it’s Xiaowen’s loss. If he wants to go, then he can go!” With that, he started the car and followed his second brother’s car out of the Ji family’s compound.
When they arrived at the Fang family home, the Fang couple’s enthusiasm had exceeded Feng Qi’s expectations. She did not even know how to start her apology. “The last time you went to the Ji family home to look for Fang Xiaonuan, I…”
“Oh, she already told us. She was out playing that day and wasn’t at home, so we didn’t see her.” Mrs. Fang smiled as she interrupted Feng Qi. She continued, “Nuannuan is still young. When she married into the Ji family, her father and I could not offer much, and we were worried that she would cause trouble in the Ji family. However, thanks to you being by her side, she did not make too many mistakes. Nuannuan has already told us all of this. Recently, we were planning to find a time to visit you to thank you, but we didn’t expect you guys to come first.”
Feng Qi was a little surprised. “Is that what Xiaonuan told you guys?” It turned out that Fang Xiaonuan had not complained to her family about the grievances she had suffered in the Ji family. Instead, she had swallowed them all by herself, while behind their backs, she was speaking highly of them. At this moment, Feng Qi felt that she had behaved much worse than the little girl.
On this day, the Fang couple also met Ji Wen. “Xiaowen, so you’re Lingchen’s nephew?” The Fang couple’s pleasantly surprised expressions hung on their faces.
Ji Wen deliberately raised his head to let the Fang couple see the wound at the corner of his mouth. He obediently replied, “Yes! Let’s talk. Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Fang!”
The Fang couple looked at each other. Only the two of them could understand the glance they had exchanged. ‘Look, our daughter beat up Xiaowen again.’
