Chapter 321
In fact, for more than a month Ji Feng had been very puzzled as to why his grandfather had suddenly been admitted to the hospital. He had asked the old man, but did not get the answer he wanted, while others, likewise, kept their mouths shut.
So, Ji Feng put the idea to Aunt Hong, she was the old man’s personal special care, she would always know something.
Ji Shaolei was stunned, then shook his head slightly and said, “If I were to say that Aunt Hong knows, I think she must know, but it’s hard to say if she will tell us. I guess she won’t say anything without the old master’s order.”
Regarding the matter of the old master’s hospitalization, Ji Shaolei was equally puzzled, and he had inquired about it through various channels, including Aunt Hong and the old master’s personal bodyguard, Tiejun, but nothing came of it.
When Ji Feng smiled, he couldn’t help but be a little disappointed.
In fact, Ji Feng knew very well that the reason for making the old man hospitalized should be very important and would most likely involve the dispute between the first and the second line, otherwise, the old man would not have kept his mouth shut as soon as this matter was brought up, that was not the old man’s character.
“Forget it, don’t think about that for now, when the old master wants to tell us, he will definitely do so.” Ji Shaolei laughed, “Now that he hasn’t said anything, it proves that this doesn’t affect us much, or rather, that old master can handle it himself!”
When Ji Feng thought about it carefully, that was also the case, so he nodded and said, “Alright then, let’s go!”
According to what Ji Shaolei said, his mother did not live in the family home, but lived with his father in an upscale neighborhood very close to the office, and his younger uncle Ji Zhenping had also bought a house there, so the two families were close together, and usually when Ji Xiaoyu came home from school, she would always like to go and chat with her elder aunt.
Ji Feng but vaguely felt that this was probably because his father had moved to an outside neighborhood in order to take care of his mother’s feelings and to allow her to gradually adapt to life in Yanjing.
After all, mother had lived in Mang Shi County for so many years, if she went all of a sudden to one of those family homes where the official wives gather, she would be more or less uncomfortable.
……
The old man of the Ji family has completely recovered and returned!
This news, as if it had grown wings, flew to the ears of everyone who had a heart.
Those who heard the news were surprised, amazed, taken for granted, and delighted.
However, those who were most shocked were those who were well aware of Master Ji’s condition.
This is the natural ageing of the human body, a natural law that no one could possibly defy, so how did he suddenly recover?
Could it be that the previous diagnosis, was a misdiagnosis?
At this time, many people recalled that a month ago, Elder Ji’s ward was suddenly in a state, and even the senior management was alerted, only to have no movement suddenly afterwards.
Was that abnormal sign related to Elder Ji’s sudden recovery?
Now if we look back carefully, it is obvious that it is absolutely inseparable, that abnormality should be a sign of Master Ji’s recovery.
No matter how puzzled the people were, and no matter how they speculated, there was one thing in front of them: Master Ji had recovered and returned to the courtyard alive and well!
This was a fact and no one could change it.
Then, it was time for those people to open their minds and consider what way to deal with the Ji family. And some people, or certain families, who had originally started to act foolishly after receiving news that Master Ji’s days were numbered because he had fallen ill, heard the news of Master Ji’s return and suddenly their hearts thudded, as if a thunderbolt had suddenly exploded over their heads!
It was almost like a bolt from the blue!
Master Ji’s tactics were clear to all those who had ever fought with him and had ever made a move. Back then, even in the face of the one above, Elder Ji dared to slap the table and was relegated to the farm as a result, his character and methods were something that absolutely no one wanted to learn again!
Although over the years Elder Ji had long since stopped interfering in the affairs of the family, and even his sons were fighting on their own, in reality, no one dared to forget that the Elder Ji still existed!
In fact there was no need for Elder Ji to speak at all, everyone had to be careful, because once they provoked Elder Ji to speak up, the consequences could be serious.
Some people, and some families, who originally felt that Elder Ji’s days were numbered and were ready to make a move, immediately tensed up after hearing the news of Elder Ji’s return, and at the same time, they all opened their brains to think of ways to repair relations with the Ji family, or to think of how to remedy the situation.
If the Ji elder son is on his mind ……
This is only the outside, the inside of the Ji family, likewise like being struck by lightning, immediately exploded.
When the three brothers of Ji Zhenhua received the news, they were simply shocked, happy and felt unbelievable, the old man had gone back, how come they, the sons, did not know about it yet?
The three brothers immediately called the courtyard and the person responsible for answering the phone was Aunt Hong. From her mouth, the three brothers received a positive answer and were immediately overjoyed.
Even Ji Zhenping, who knew the inside story, was equally stunned and ecstatic at the same time.
Ji Feng, that brat, had really cured the old man!
Ji Zhenping felt that the best decision he had made in his life was to take Ji Feng to see the old man, and to keep this strictly confidential. Apart from a limited number of people at the top, he did not reveal half a word to anyone else, even his elder brother and second brother, until the old man had recovered.
In case they thought that Ji Feng was messing around and thus stepped in to stop it, it would be a problem.
But to their surprise, what Ji Feng gave them back was such a big surprise!
“This brat, he really didn’t let me down!” Ji Zhenping hung up the phone and said with a face full of joy.
Immediately, he couldn’t help but hum twice, “This time, someone is going to have a headache!”
In fact, Ji Zhenping had not guessed wrong at all, as the sudden recovery of Elder Ji and his return to the courtyard had almost caused the entire side line of the Ji family to become a mess.
Originally, they were all secretly planning how to push the third generation leader of the side line to step forward and take up the burden of the third generation family head once the old man was gone, but this time, it was as if everyone had been hit on the head with a stick, a stick that made them dizzy and dizzy, and their eyes glazed over.
What a blow!
For a time, the entire Yanjing City became a little seething with the return of Elder Ji.
……
“Su Mei, there’s no need to cook tonight, let’s go to Old Master’s place for dinner!”
In a small area of Yanjing, Xiao Su Mei was sitting on the sofa in the living room answering the phone, opposite her was a woman of about forty with a serene smile on her face, sitting there peeling fruit.
“Going to eat at the old man’s place?” Xiao Su Mei was stunned, since the old man had been hospitalised, apart from going back regularly to clean the old man’s house, to do her filial duty, she had never gone there for a meal!
The middle-aged woman opposite was also a bit surprised and gave Xiao Sumei a glance, but did not say anything.
“Isn’t the ministry busy?” Xiao Su Mei did not understand why she had to go to the old man’s place for dinner, but she did not think too much about it, since it was arranged by her husband, then just go along, what she was concerned about was still her husband’s health, these few months down the road, her husband looked like he had lost a lot of weight, obviously he was not working too hard.
“Busy! But, on a day like today, even if you are busy, you should always get together with your family!” On the phone, Ji Zhenhua’s voice seemed very cheerful, causing Xiao Sumei to be even more amazed at once.
During this period of time, although Ji Zhenhua would always come home with a smile on his face, Xiao Sumei could see that there was a trace of worry between his brows that could not be erased, but now, his voice was really cheerful.
“Zhenhua, is something happening? Is it a good thing?” Xiao Sumei asked hesitantly.
“Of course it’s a good thing, a heavenly good thing!” Ji Zhenhua, who had always been steady and majestic, also looked a little excited at this moment, “The old man has recovered and has returned to the quadrangle, let’s go there together tonight!”
“Really?” Xiao Su Mei was also delighted, maybe the old man recovered or not, it didn’t hinder her much, but she knew that it had a great relationship with her husband, the old man recovered, her husband’s mood was good, and his work was smooth.
“Let’s say this first, I still have some work to do here!” Ji Zhenhua said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Su Mei was suddenly full of smiles.
Seeing her appearance, the middle-aged woman couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “Sister-in-law, is it my big brother calling? What’s good?”
Xiao Su Mei laughed and said, “It is indeed a good thing, the old man has recovered and is said to have returned to the quadrangle now!”
“Really?!” The middle-aged woman was instantly surprised, just as she wanted to speak, she heard her mobile phone ringing, she immediately picked it up, “It’s Zhenping calling!”
Xiao Su Mei instantly smiled, “It must be to inform you to go to dinner tonight!”
As expected, Ji Zhenping was calling to inform his wife to go to the old man’s quadrangle for dinner tonight.
“Sister-in-law, you’ve really got it right!” The middle-aged woman smiled faintly, “Xiao Yu called me earlier and said that Xiao Feng had also come to Yanjing, sister-in-law, maybe we can meet today.”
“Little Feng is here too?” Xiao Su Mei was stunned, and just as she wanted to speak, she heard a thumping on the door of the room outside.
The two of them were stunned, this knocking sound was very rough, who had the audacity to be so bold?
“Madam, I’ll open the door.” At this time, from behind the sofa next to her, the figure of a woman suddenly appeared, she took two quick steps and went in the direction of the room door.
“Sister-in-law, this escort that big brother has arranged for you is really good!” The middle-aged woman instantly smiled and exclaimed in praise.
And at this time, a shrill voice pierced through, “Where is Xiao Su Mei? Come out immediately! What, your son has bullied my son and daughter-in-law, and you, as a mother, don’t dare to come out and meet people?”
In the living room, Xiao Sumei and the middle-aged woman suddenly turned pale.
Chapter 322
“Sister-in-law, this voice seems to be the second sister-in-law over at ……!” The middle-aged woman, Ji Zhenping’s wife, as soon as she heard the voice coming from this doorway, her face immediately changed and she whispered, “This woman is particularly difficult, let’s be careful!”
“Don’t worry, Hong Dan, even if she’s from over there, she can’t be unreasonable, right?” At the mention of that side, Xiao Su Mei’s heart could not help but be secretly angry, she had inadvertently met one of the boys from that side in the old man’s courtyard before, only to be scolded by his girlfriend by insinuation, if she didn’t care about her own identity, she really wanted to have her guards go up and slap that woman severely!
“Xiao Ying, let someone in!” Xiao Su Mei raised her voice slightly and said.
Xiao Ying, the guard at the door, immediately nodded and turned slightly sideways to make way.
Three people rushed in at once, led by a middle-aged woman, her face heavily made up, her slightly obese figure but wearing a cheongsam that was propped up and bulging, looking bloated.
Behind her, however, was a pair of young men and women. If Ji Feng were here, he would have instantly recognized these two, namely Ji Shaoyou and that sultry woman, Li Yanting.
Only, these two were the ones with a nervous look on their faces, and their figures also looked a bit cowering, as if they didn’t dare to come in.
As soon as they entered, the middle-aged woman said in a shrill voice, “Xiao Su Mei, you taught your son well, how dare you order someone to point a gun at my son and daughter-in-law, how dare you want to shoot my daughter-in-law on the spot? How dare you!”
Xiao Su Mei’s face was calm as she said indifferently, “I don’t need you to ask how I teach my son. I haven’t heard of what you said, so I don’t know what’s going on yet. If you’re here to reason, please sit down and talk, if you’re here to cause trouble, I’m sorry, I don’t have that much time for you!”
The middle-aged woman choked, and then she went crazy: “Xiao Su Mei, you are excusing yourself. Good! You are really worthy of being mother and son, you are both so shameless!”
Xiao Su Mei’s face sank and she said, “You’d better watch your mouth!”
The third aunt next to her also said unhappily, “Second sister-in-law, aren’t you going too far in speaking to your sister-in-law like that?”
“Liang Hongdan, this is none of your business here, keep your mouth shut, my son and daughter-in-law were forced to kneel down with a gun and almost died, I absolutely cannot just let it go!” The middle-aged woman shouted shrilly at once.
Xiao Su Mei frowned and said, “As I said, I don’t know anything about this matter, and I haven’t heard about it until now, if you want to come here and make trouble, I think you’ve got the wrong idea!”
“Second sister-in-law, we really haven’t heard about this matter you’re talking about, is there some kind of misunderstanding in between?” Liang Hongdan said in a low voice, “All the people living in this community are dignitaries, besides this is sister-in-law’s home, it’s a bit inappropriate for you to make a scene here like this, isn’t it?”
“I’m inappropriate?”
The middle-aged woman sneered, pointed at Xiao Su Mei and screamed, “Xiao Su Mei, I tell you, you must give me an explanation today, otherwise, even if I have to risk my old face, I will definitely not stand by and watch my son and daughter-in-law being bullied like this!”
“What do you want to say?” Even a person with a good temper would not be in a good mood if she was questioned by someone pointing at her nose like that, not to mention that the sultry woman standing behind this middle-aged woman had scolded herself only some time ago, so naturally Xiao Sumei would not have a good face.
“What argument?!”
The middle-aged woman said at once, “I want you, and that wild son of yours, to apologize to my son and daughter-in-law. Didn’t that good son of yours force my daughter-in-law to kneel down and apologize? If not, I’ll smack you!”
“How dare you!” Xiao Soumei immediately scolded angrily, “Zhang Yun’e, mind your status!”
“Yo!” The woman named Zhang Yun’e stretched out her voice disdainfully and looked at Xiao Sumei with contempt, “You want me to pay attention to my identity? What is my status? My Zhang family is a great family in Yanjing, and I, too, am a member of the Ji family! And you, what are you? A woman from a gra*sroots background who climbed up to the boss of the Ji family and really thinks she’s a noble lady too? Tsk tsk ……”
“Second sister-in-law, you’re going too far in talking like that, aren’t you?” Liang Hongdan’s face turned green with anger beside her, Zhang Yun’e was insulting the entire first family by saying this about Xiao Su Mei.
“If you want to say it’s too much, it’s Xiao Sumei’s son who is too much first, I really don’t want to eat this!” Zhang Yun’e snorted coldly and said domineeringly, “Xiao Su Mei, now, you immediately apologise to my son and daughter-in-law, and then go find your son and make him kneel down and apologise!”
Xiao Sumei was furious and was just about to speak when she heard an icy voice from outside the door, “Which way do you not eat?
Everyone’s eyes immediately looked outwards, and Ji Shaoyou and Li Yanting, both of whom suddenly remembered something, had a fearful glint in their eyes and could not help but tremble violently.
Two tall figures walked in through the door, but they were Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei.
Only, both of them were as sullen as water and incomparably cold at this moment.
Just now downstairs, they had heard the sound of an argument upstairs, and when they saw the black Mercedes parked in the parking space, they instantly knew that Ji Shaoyou had come!
The two immediately went upstairs, just in time to hear Zhang Yun’e’s final words of forcing Xiao Su Mei to apologise and for Ji Feng to kneel down and apologise, and the two of them were instantly furious in their hearts.
Ji Feng, in particular, was shocked with rage!
A woman from nowhere dared to humiliate his mother like that?
He had only heard about it before and had never seen it with his own eyes, but now, Ji Feng had seen with his own eyes that his mother had been humiliated by someone at his door, even though it was because of himself, but these people dared to come to his door and humiliate his mother like that.
As soon as she saw that a stranger had entered, the female guard next to her was about to step forward to stop Ji Feng and the two of them, but what greeted her was Ji Feng’s cold, icy stare.
“This gentleman ……” The female guard was just about to say something when she saw Ji Shaolei, so she hesitated slightly, not knowing whether she should stop them or not.
But before she could make a move, she heard Ji Feng’s cold voice ring out, “Are you the nanny in this house?”
The female escort was stunned, and then said, “I’m Madam’s guard!”
“Guard?!”
Ji Feng’s face became even more ugly as he looked at the female guard with a questioning gaze, “You’re really a guard?”
“Yes!” The female guard was a little discontented in her heart, she naturally could see the look of doubt in Ji Feng’s eyes.
“Do you know kung fu?” Ji Feng asked in a deep voice.
“Yes!” The female escort was a bit puzzled, why was this person asking this?
“If you were to fight these three people by yourself, could you beat them?” Ji Feng asked again.
The female escort took a glance at Zhang Yun’e’s three men and immediately nodded, “No problem at all!”
“Since that’s the case ……”
Ji Feng’s eyes instantly shot out a harsh gaze, “Let me ask you, as a guard, what do you do when you watch an outsider barge in and insult the people you are trying to protect? And what did you do? Are you qualified as a guard?”
“I ……”
The female guard froze, she did not expect that this young man, who had suddenly appeared, would turn on her like that, she opened her mouth and explained, “But, they are ……”
“Are they your masters?” Ji Feng interrupted her words without mercy, “Or are they your relatives?! This is how you perform your duties!”
The female escort froze, surprisingly speechless by Ji Feng’s question.
“You!”
Ji Feng pointed at the female guard and said coldly, “If you still want to continue being your guard here, perform your duties!”
He fiercely pointed at Zhang Yun’e and the three of them, “Beat me out!”
“You, what are you?!” Not only the female guard, but even Zhang Yun’e, was shocked by this sudden overpowering aura of Ji Feng, and couldn’t help but stammer a bit as she asked.
The cold light in Ji Feng’s eyes flashed and he ignored Zhang Yun’e, but said to the female guard, “What, do you want me to do it myself? Fight it out!”
The female escort looked at Xiao Su Mei with difficulty, she would not listen to a stranger.
“Xiao Ying, he is my son!” Xiao Su Mei said proudly.
“What?!”
Zhang Yun’e screamed when she heard that, “You’re that little wild ……”
“Slap!”
With a loud slap, the female guard slapped Zhang Yun’e’s face fiercely, slapping all her unfinished words back into her stomach.
If not for Ji Shaoyou and Li Yanting behind her, I am afraid this slap would have been enough to send her to the door.
Zhang Yun’e was frozen by the blow, her mouth muttered, “You, you dare to hit me? How dare you hit me?”
“Beating you is still light!”
Ji Feng hummed disdainfully and turned around, looking coldly at Ji Shaoyou and Li Yanting, “It seems that you have really forgotten the pain after getting well, the lesson you were given only this morning, you have forgotten it so quickly!”
Being swept by Ji Feng’s icy gaze, Ji Shaoyou and Li Yanting instantly shivered, Ji Feng’s gaze was just too terrifying, as if he wanted to eat people.
“Lao, Lao San, you, don’t misunderstand, it’s not what you think ……” Ji Shaoyou stammered, he really didn’t think of coming to find trouble with Ji Feng’s mother, the lesson in the morning was already deep enough, it was just that his mother couldn’t swallow the anger and thought that Xiao Su Mei was a woman from the countryside, she shouldn’t dare to resist, so she could also get some face back, that’s why she came.
But now, they unexpectedly ran into Ji Feng here, this was really not a good time to end it.
“Remember what I said this morning? Attacking the chief’s premises with the intention of committing murder, according to the crime should be shot on the spot!” Ji Feng said coldly!
