Ji Yunxin had thought of many possibilities. There must be a reason why Jian Yan suddenly wanted a divorce. Whether she had given up on her or hated her, there must be a reason. But she never expected that it was because of this sex incident. It was a bit - a bit depressing.
In fact, neither of them was happy that night. After all, it was their first time, and she had never even understood it before. He entered her so blatantly, and Jian Yan kept crying out in pain. She was afraid of hurting her, so she was very restrained. Even though she had experience in the second half of the night, and Jian Yan's voice and expression were full of joy, but overall, their first time was not very good. If they divorced for such a reason, it would not be difficult to understand, but Jian Yan gave her the feeling of being gentle and docile from beginning to end, and did not seem like the kind of person who would divorce because of sex.
This made Ji Yunxin ask subconsciously.
Jian Yan bent down to pick up the phone from the ground. She was tall, and when she bent down, the hem of her skirt moved up a little, revealing a pair of beautiful straight long legs. Her legs were closed together, and her skin was fair. Ji Yunxin saw her bending posture when she glanced sideways. She put her hands behind her back, clenched them, and there seemed to be residual memories on her fingertips, reminding her of Jian Yan's skin that night, which was as smooth as silk and delicate to make people's hearts itch. Ji Yunxin coughed lightly and looked away.
The noisy ringing of the cell phone stopped.
Jian Yan picked up the phone and said, "Mr. Ji, do you think so?"
She wiped the screen of her phone. Ji Yunxin must not have heard the previous words, so she made a guess, or she did not hear the whole sentence. Thinking of this, Jian Yan turned around and said, "Anyway, what I said is the truth."
fact.
These two words struck Ji Yunxin's heart, her face darkened, and the cell phone rang suddenly again. She glanced at Jian Yan and picked up the call.
"Hey, Grandpa."
Jian Yan turned her back to her, pursed her lips, and walked away in her high heels.
"I just ran into Xiaohan."
"I don't care who you run into, come back now!" Ji Songlin's tone was very aggressive, and you could tell from his voice that he was very angry. After Ji Yunxin hung up the phone, she returned to the private room. Everyone was still eating, so she said to Ji Han, "I'm going back first."
Li Weiqing stood up and said, "Let's go together. I'm full too."
Ji Yunxin glanced in the direction of Jian Yan and saw her looking at him. Her eyes were clear and slightly cold. Unlike the tenderness in her eyes in the past, there was no trace of emotion in these eyes. They were cold and indifferent, as if she was looking at a stranger. This was the look Ji Yunxin had always wanted, but combined with the conversation between the two just now, it made her feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.
It seemed like she was not good enough, really not good enough. Even the mole at the corner of Jian Yan's eye seemed to be mocking her. She felt a little depressed.
"Yunxin?" Li Weiqing stood beside her with her bag in hand and called softly, "We should go now."
Ji Yunxin hummed calmly and turned to leave the box. As soon as he left, Ji Han rolled his eyes: "The ghost is still there!"
Her appearance aroused Lin Mu's curiosity. When the door of the private room closed, Lin Mu asked, "Boss, is Li Weiqing really Mr. Ji's girlfriend? I heard that she often comes to the company to see Mr. Ji."
"Ghost's girlfriend!" Ji Han shouted, "If you keep saying that, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Lin Mu covered his mouth: "It's not like I said that."
“That’s what everyone in the company says.”
Jian Yan heard the conversation between the two and lowered her head to cut the steak. Her expression was calm, but her fingers were holding the handle of the knife so tightly that her fingertips turned white.
Lunch was not a pleasant one. Ji Yunxin arrived at the Ji family at exactly one o'clock. Ji Songlin was pacing in the living room. Hearing a sound from the entrance, he immediately looked up and saw Ji Yunxin pushing the door open. She was wearing a fitted beige suit, straight and stylish. The light blue high heels made her figure look even taller. The sunlight was scattered and fell on her face, making her facial features more three-dimensional. Her bone structure was distinct, her white forehead was hidden under her bangs, and her eyes were sharp and pointed. Normally, Ji Songlin would be happy no matter how he looked at her like this, but now he was angry no matter how he looked at her!
"It worked, didn't it?" Ji Songlin said angrily, "You are so awesome now that you don't need your family's opinion on anything you do. You can do whatever you want, right?"
Ji Yunxin put down his briefcase and stood beside the sofa, standing straight and respectfully saying, "Grandpa, I don't understand what you mean."
"I don't understand?" Ji Songlin laughed angrily: "Who are you trying to fool? Or do you think you are so powerful now that you can cover up everything? You didn't even tell us about the divorce. So, are you going to kick us out of the house in the future without telling us?"
Ji Yunxin had guessed it on the way back, but Ji Songlin had just had surgery, so she was not sure if it was this matter that she had not dared to say before. Now that he was pointing at her face and scolding her, Ji Yunxin had no choice but to say, "You know everything."
"How could I not know?" Ji Songlin slapped his chest angrily: "I have already called your parents, you kneel down in the ancestral hall right now!"
The tone did not allow for any argument. Ji Songlin was old and no one dared to make him angry, for fear that he would get angry and then betray himself. Therefore, everyone obeyed him in everything. This was also the reason why Ji Yunxin did not dare to tell him. He did not expect that he would know it from other people.
It was Jian Yan who said that.
Ji Yunxin sighed.
Ji Songlin was even more furious after hearing this, and he picked up his cane and wanted to hit Ji Yunxin. Fortunately, the housekeeper hugged him in time, and Ji Yunxin was spared from physical pain. Ji Songlin snorted, "You're still sighing? You still have the nerve to sigh? What did you tell me when we got married? You promised not to bully her, not to let her suffer any grievances, and not to mess around outside. You..."
"You forced me to agree to this." Ji Yunxin lowered his head and said, "Didn't you force me to agree to this?"
Ji Songlin was stunned, and the words he hadn't finished were stuck in his throat. After a few seconds, he roared: "Am I not doing this for your own good?"
"Are you complaining about me now?"
“Ji Yunxin, you kneel down in the ancestral hall! Kneel down until you realize your mistakes and then come back!”
Ji Yunxin's face was tense, his hands behind his back, and he remained calm even when being scolded. The housekeeper saw that the old man was getting angry again and tried to comfort him: "Okay, Yunxin, you go first, I'll stay with the old man."
The ancestral hall was just behind the old house, a five-minute walk away. Ji Yunxin walked on the stone path in high heels and soon stood at the door of the ancestral hall. She walked in without hesitation, lit a stick of incense and knelt on the ground. The sunlight slanted down from behind her, making her back look even straighter.
When Ji Han got home, she saw Ji Yunxin kneeling in the ancestral hall. She ran over and shouted, "Sister, why are you kneeling here?"
"Get up quickly!"
Ji Yunxin knelt for two hours, and her body still did not move. She said, "No need to help me. You can go back first."
The voice was like the weather outside, cold and piercing like a thorn.
Ji Han stamped his feet and said, "It must be Grandpa. I'll go find Grandpa!"
Ji Songlin had just taken the medicine and felt better when he heard someone knocking on the door. He said, "Come in."
Ji Han pushed open the door and walked in, saying flatteringly, "Grandpa."
Ji Songlin snorted: "If it's because of your sister that you're here to plead for mercy, then get out."
"No." Ji Han held the chicken soup and said, "I heard from Uncle Liu that you were angry again. Drink some soup to calm down."
When Ji Songlin looked at her, he thought of Ji Yunxin and said with a headache: "It would be great if your sister was half as sensible as you."
Ji Han smiled awkwardly: "If my sister was like me, there would be no one to support the company."
Ji Songlin's cold expression softened a lot after hearing this. In the past few years since Ji Yunxin joined the company, the company has developed rapidly. She has expanded several projects abroad and achieved remarkable results. Not to mention abroad, even in China, it is now firmly in the leading position. Seeing that his expression has improved, Ji Han hurriedly said, "Grandpa, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. My sister's strength is work. You know that she is emotionally slow, so why punish her? If she falls, won't the company also suffer?"
Although she was also angry at Ji Yunxin for not being able to judge people well and for being close to Li Weiqing and ignoring her sister-in-law, she was her sister after all. Seeing her kneeling there made her feel so distressed that she couldn't help but be partial to her.
Ji Songlin nodded when he heard her words of comfort and said, "I'm not punishing her. I'm asking her to think it over carefully!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ji Han hugged Ji Songlin's arm: "But you can't let her kneel there and think. She is tired enough from work, and she has to kneel for so long. Don't you feel bad for her?"
Ji Songlin opened his mouth. How could he not feel distressed? Compared to Ji Han, Ji Yunxin was raised by him step by step since she was a child. He taught her everything, almost without reservation, about how to manage a company, how to handle official business, and how to behave in society. Perhaps his expectations were too high, so the disappointment was deeper.
Ji Han bit his lip: "Okay, okay, Grandpa, just let it go. Besides, even if my sister is emotionally slow, don't we still have us?"
"We just help her."
Ji Songlin was shaken by her words of persuasion. He waved his hand and said, "Go and get her up."
"Grandpa, you should go. I asked my sister to get up but she definitely wouldn't."
Ji Songlin nodded: "Help me up."
An old man and a young man walked slowly towards the ancestral hall. From afar, they saw the door of the hall open and a figure kneeling there with her waist straight and her long hair tied behind her head, meticulously done. The small suit she wore was still straight and neat.
Ji Songlin stood at the door. Ji Han pushed him, smiled sweetly at him, and said silently, "Go."
Ji Songlin walked into the ancestral hall with a cane. He stood beside Ji Yunxin with a gloomy face and whispered, "Do you know you are wrong?"
Ji Yunxin looked ahead calmly, and said in a clear voice: "I am not wrong."
Ji Songlin raised his cane, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, his hand trembled and he slammed it heavily on the floor, angrily saying, "You still don't know you're wrong?"
Ji Yunxin tilted his head and looked at Ji Songlin, his expression normal: "I did nothing wrong, how do I know I was wrong?"
When Ji Han heard the two people start to fire again, he immediately squatted down and said, "Sister, just lower your head and admit your mistake."
Ji Yunxin said coldly: "That's enough, I am not wrong. Even if you make me kneel for the rest of my life, I am still not wrong."
"You!" Ji Songlin breathed hard and glared, "You're right! Divorce Yanyan, you'll regret it!"
Ji Yunxin stood up slowly. Her legs were numb after kneeling for so long that she couldn't stand steadily. Ji Han hurriedly helped her up. Ji Yunxin and Ji Songlin looked at each other. She saw the anger in Ji Songlin's eyes clearly and said, "Grandpa, are you really so angry because I will regret it?"
Ji Songlin's face flushed with anger, and his words were full of anger: "What else?"
"No." Ji Yunxin said coldly: "Is it really not because of your regret?"
"Ji Yunxin!"
The cane was erected, but not dropped. Ji Songlin took a step back, holding his chest. His face, which had just turned red, turned pale. Ji Han's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa!"
