Fan Yumeng’s mother changed her gentle expression and poked his head hard, “Who are we doing this for? It wasn’t easy for you to get into B City. Naturally, you’ll have to settle down here in the future. Don’t you know how expensive the house prices are here? Can your dad and I afford it?”
“If we can’t afford it, we can go back to your hometown or rent a house…”
“Shut up, you good-for-nothing.” Father Fan roared angrily.
“If it weren’t for your sister’s ability to find a rich boyfriend, you wouldn’t have a house even if you wanted it.”
Then, he looked at Fan Yumeng. “When Ji Zi’ang transfers the house to you, you can give it to your brother as his wedding home. Your mother and I don’t want all the betrothal gifts. Half of it is for your brother to buy a car, and the other half is with us. You can ask us for it whenever you need it.”
Fan Yumeng lowered her head and said nothing.
Although she did not side with Ji Zi’ang just now, she actually felt quite wronged.
Her parents were too biased. They didn’t give her anything that belonged to her.
“Don’t be silly. We’re family. If the money is with us, can we keep it for ourselves?” Mother Fan whispered when she saw Fan Yumeng’s downcast expression.
“Okay,” Fan Yumeng replied in a low voice.
“After you get married, get along well with your sister-in-law. Didn’t you say that she married into a rich family and became a young mistress? It would definitely be beneficial to have a good relationship with her. Also, Ji Zi’ang’s career is rising. It’s best if you take his salary card and put all the financial power in your hands. After your father and I leave, your brother will be your only family and your backup plan. So you must treat your brother better in the future, understand?” Mother Fan persuaded her daughter earnestly.
“Got it.” Fan Yumeng answered blankly.
Outside, when Ji Zixuan chased after him, he was already gone.
He couldn’t find him anywhere. He probably took a taxi and left.
Ji Zixuan anxiously called Ji Zi’ang, but he did not pick up.
When Huang Weiwei came out with Li Xu and Zhang Kun, she saw Ji Zixuan standing anxiously on the street.
“Where’s Zi’ang?” Li Xu asked anxiously.
“Let’s go.” He shook his head. “He didn’t pick up the calls.”
“What should we do? We had to contact him as soon as possible. This child must not do anything stupid.” Li Xu looked around in confusion, trying to find Ji Zi’ang.
“It should be fine. I’ll continue to call.” As he spoke, he called Ji Zi’ang again and again.
Fortunately, after dialing more than ten times, Ji Zi’ang finally picked up.
“Big Brother.”
Ji Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief and did not dare to provoke him. He only asked softly, “Where are you? Come back, let’s go home together.”
Ji Zi’ang’s voice was downcast, “Big Brother, I feel a little uncomfortable. Don’t worry, I’ll go to the riverside to relax. When I’m in a better mood, I’ll go home.”
Ji Zixuan still wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, he said, “Then be careful and go home early.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Xu quickly went forward and asked, “How is it? What did Zi’ang say?”
“He said he’s going to the riverside to relax and that he’ll go home when he’s in a better mood.” Ji Zixuan explained.
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Huang Weiwei, “Bring Dad and Mom home. I’ll go to the riverside to look for him.”
There was only one river near B City, so he might be able to find Ji Zi’ang.
Li Xu nodded, “Alright, you should be careful too. You don’t have to rush to bring him home if you find him. You should have a good chat with him. The matter has already…”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Xu stopped.
She sighed and said in a low voice, “You two brothers have been close since you were young. You should have something to talk about.”
“Yes,” Ji Zixuan replied. After Huang Weiwei left with Li Xu and Zhang Kun, he hailed a cab and headed to the riverside.
It was the first month of the lunar year, and the weather was still frigid, so there were not many people by the river.
Ji Zixuan walked around the riverside and quickly found Ji Zi’ang.
He sat by the river with his legs bent, looking at the frozen river surface with a blank expression.
His back was bent, and his back was fragile.
Ji Zixuan’s heart ached a little. When had the heartless Ji Zi’ang ever been so dispirited?
He slowly walked forward and sat beside Ji Zi’ang.
The ground was icy in winter, and Ji Zixuan subconsciously frowned.
She did not know how long he had been sitting there.
“Brother, were you very happy when you were with sister-in-law?” Ji Zi’ang suddenly asked in a low voice.
Sister-in-law and Big Brother have the same interests. Sister-in-law is also thinking about Big Brother. He should be very happy, right?
Without hesitation, he nodded, “Yes, very happy.”
Ji Zi’ang did not say anything and silently rested his chin on his knees.
“Actually, if you’re not happy, it’s okay to be selfish for once. You don’t have to force yourself to take responsibility. This isn’t your responsibility alone.”
Ji Zi’ang laughed, “It’s rare for you to say something like that, Brother.”
Ji Zixuan was the most responsible person in the world, yet he was actually teaching him not to be so responsible.
Ji Zixuan looked at him without saying a word.
“Big Brother, I seem to have done something wrong.” Ji Zi’ang slowly stopped smiling.
Now that he thought about it was this part of Fan Yumeng’s plan?
Why did Fan Yumeng start to take the initiative after he won the trophy?
In the past, Fan Yumeng had always been distant from him.
Why was Fan Yumeng always nagging him and not letting him use the protection?
Did she plan to use the child to make him submit?
However, it was too late to say anything now. He had done something wrong and could only bear the consequences.
He belatedly realized… Perhaps it was not that he realized it later but that he did not want to admit it at first.
Fan Yumeng didn’t love him that much. She only got back together with him because she felt he had a stable income and was the best choice for her at the moment.
He had always known, so he did not want to admit his failure.
His way of escaping was to escape from Fan Yumeng.
It was very awkward, but it was his heart.
Ji Zixuan did not say a word. He merely reached out and patted his son’s shoulder lightly.
The wind by the river was very cold, and it quickly dried the moisture at the corners of Ji Zi’ang’s eyes.
At the Qin family’s residence, Ji Yuanyuan held her phone and asked in surprise, “A million? And a house in the Second Ring Road?”
“Yes,” Huang Weiwei said on the other end of the phone. “She wants her name on the house. She doesn’t need a car. It’s fine as long as she has one.”
“Is she crazy?” Ji Yuanyuan was in disbelief.
How could the betrothal gift of an ordinary family be so high?
Did he want to get married or make a fortune?
“What did Second Brother say? What’s Fan Yumeng’s attitude?”
“She’s pregnant.” Huang Weiwei said helplessly.
With just one sentence, Ji Yuanyuan knew their family would definitely compromise..
