"Sit." Ji Chongde pointed to the chair at the side, and lightly said.
Ji Chenxi slowly sat down, quietly looked at Ji Chongde, and waited for him to start the conversation.
As he expected, it really wasn't a good thing!
"According to Zi Jie, he was robbed while he was in T-City. Is it because you sent people to take care of it?" Ji Chongde's tone was no longer as calm as before, and it faintly revealed a biting cold might.
Ji Chenxi remained calm as he calmly replied, "If I say no, grandfather, would you believe it?"
Ji Chongde was slightly startled and kept quiet.
The corner of Ji Chenxi's mouth widened into a smile, and continued, "Will you believe anything he says, Grandfather?"
"I have my own judgment." Ji Chongde replied with a voice that was still incomparably thick.
"Then do you believe in him, or do you believe in me?" Ji Chenxi continued to ask, seeing Ji Chongde becoming silent, he lowered his head and did not say anymore.
Time passed in silence. After an unknown period of time, Ji Chongde slowly spoke out, "There were some things that you might still remember, and there were quite a bit of grievances and anger in your heart, but you have to understand, a person's life cannot go by smoothly. Grandfather has his grandfather's position and responsibilities, your eldest aunt has given too much for me, I cannot disappoint her."
Ji Chenxi still lowered his head and looked at him obediently, not saying a single word.
"When you went to T City that year, without the money that your grandfather gave you, it was impossible for you to survive there. Without your grandfather's support over the years, your King's Age would never have grown to such a scale in a few short years. Do you know why your grandfather supported you? It's not that Grandpa wants you to use it to hurt people and things that Grandpa cares about. If Grandpa can let it establish and develop, then it means he must have the ability to destroy it and disappear! This is your hard work, I hope you cherish it and don't try to challenge your grandfather's patience. There are family rules, and in this family, you will always be the head of your uncle's family. Besides Zi Jie, there will not be a second candidate to take over the next generation of Ji Group. As your grandfather, I am sincerely gratified and proud, but I still have to remind you, no matter what you do, you have to take the Ji Family as your priority. Only Ji Group is your responsibility, no matter how well you muddle along in the outside world, don't forget to take charge of your Ji's.
In the air, there was a long period of silence. After a while, Ji Chongde got up and left a message while walking: "It's getting late, let's go back and rest."
Ji Chenxi slowly raised his head as well, his expression calm and serene. His pitch-black eyes that were as deep as the ocean, surged with a storm-like fury.
When Ji Chenxi walked out of the main house, it was drizzly outside.
Without an umbrella, he walked out into the rain, strolling along the quiet, deserted estate.
This was a place filled with wealth and honor. He had lived here ever since he came to this world, and he could not be more familiar with every scenery here. However, he could not find any sense of belonging or kinship.
This was not his home at all, never, though he lived like a prince!
The Ji Clan was one of the top clans in the B City, and had stood at the peak of society for hundreds of years. Even though their families were fighting openly and secretly, they did not want to leave behind any bad reputation in the external world. They, who were born and raised, had always consumed the best food and clothing, but that was all.
At the same time, the Mu Family had become a famous family in the B City from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. As the young miss of the Mu Family, Mu Wanrong used an eight carriers palanquin to grandly marry her into the Mu Family.
That person said that Mu Wanrong had done too much for him and he could not let him down. As a result, even though she knew it was wrong and it was outrageously wrong, he still protected him.
What about me? When I was young, I almost died in a violent way. My dear grandfather, did you say anything for me? The mother who gave birth to me and raised me, as well as my own sister, who was responsible for the great grievances and cruel injuries they had suffered? Who will uphold justice for them?
You helped Mu Wanrong and the others to forcefully expel my mother from my father's side, driving her crazy. How are you going to settle this debt? You allowed Mu Wanrong to help the person who humiliated my sister to get away scot-free.
With regards to the development of King's Age, you have indeed contributed greatly. It was only because I allowed you to do so that you had the chance to do so. So why did you want it to marry into your Ji Group?
The rain fell harder and harder, until it gradually soaked Ji Chenxi's entire body. He was completely unconscious, and continued to walk silently on the cobblestone path, like an eagle living by himself in the dark. His ten fingers curled up into a cold, ruthless and hateful grin as it landed on his lips. His cold eyes seemed to have been quenched in poison, and it felt even colder than the surrounding cold air …
It was a rainy season, and the sky did not clear the next day due to the heavy rain. The next day, the world was still shrouded in a hazy mist of rain.
A private villa on the outskirts of B City was even more silent and desolate.
Han Liyan used to be an extremely beautiful and talented lady. After graduating from a famous university in the country and playing on the piano, she once went to a charity event held by the Ji Group to perform on the piano, which immediately attracted Ji Guojun to her. A year later, the two of them walked into the marriage hall.
Ji Guojun would never be able to accomplish anything in the Ji Clan if she was born, but she did not feel regretful. On the contrary, she felt that it was just right, after all, if it wasn't like that, how could a girl from an ordinary family be able to enter the Ji Clan.
She had thought that they would happily live together until the end of their lives, but who would have thought that all good things would ultimately come to an end? In the blink of an eye, the man who had once sworn an oath and had deep feelings for her became the opposite of evil words. He avoided her like a virus and even beat her up.
"The day before yesterday, your mother and I went to a concert organized by her alumni. Who knew that when we met your father and that woman, that woman insulted and mocked your mother in front of everyone. You know your mother's illness, it can't be provoked. When your mother came back, she was locked in her room and didn't eat or drink. Chenxi, your mother is really suffering. You have to understand her, if she could control herself, she probably wouldn't want to treat you like this. You are her flesh and blood, and the person that she cares about the most in this world is you. " Standing under the roof, Han Liyan's sister Han Meixuan said those words to Ji Chenxi with a pained expression.
Han Meixuan originally had her own family, and her husband was a fireman. She had lost her life on a mission, and now that her daughter had gone away to study at a university, she decided to move in with her sister so that she could look after him.
When Han Liyan had been forced to divorce Ji Guojun, Han Liyan had thought of taking a couple of her children away. She felt that even without a husband, at least with children, she would live a peaceful life, but Ji Chenxi didn't want to. Since his father wasn't willing to seek justice for them, he would protect his mother and take revenge!
Han Liyan did not know about his thoughts and only thought that it was a huge blow to her to not give up on the Wealthy Young Master's status, thus she did not want to see Ji Chenxi again. After being advised by Han Meixuan, she did not bother with him when she came, but when she was sick, she did not let Ji Chenxi in.
Just like today, Ji Chenxi had originally planned to come over to accompany her for dinner, but he was forcibly shut outside the door by her. He also said that he no longer had any relationship with her, and told her to go back and be his Wealthy Class Young Master, and not to appear in front of her again in the future.
He was sad, not because his mother had misunderstood him and was angry, but because his mother had been caught in this torture, this torture, brought about by those people!
Mom, just you wait, wait for those people who brought you into the abyss to be taken care of one by one!
"Zhangchang is here."
Suddenly, Han Meixuan called out, she saw a tall and beautiful figure holding a dark blue umbrella walking out of the rain, waiting for the person to slowly come close, taking down the umbrella, what entered their eyes was a refined and elegant face, her facial features were somewhat similar to Ji Chenxi's.
The ruthlessness on Ji Chenxi's face suddenly disappeared, and a warm color unconsciously appeared between his brows as he softly called out, "Sis."
The lady smiled and replied Ji Chenxi, "You're back?"
She was Ji Chenxi's only sister, and had a very pleasant name, Ji Nichang. She was one year older than Ji Chenxi, had an outstanding appearance, and had a well-behaved personality, but her fate was extremely unfair to her.
Han Meixuan doted on her niece extremely, especially upon the thought that Ji Nichang had had such a tragic experience before. Back then, when Ji Chenxi refused to leave with Han Liyan, Han Liyan also decided to leave Ji Nichang behind. In the end, she was still worried about her son, and hoped that her daughter would stay and take care of him with her younger brother. If she had predicted that such a tragic event would happen later on, she would never have made such a decision. It was also because of this that Han Liyan felt even more resentful towards Ji Chenxi, and also hated herself.
Ji Nichang had things to do at the City Hall, so she often had to accompany her superior on missions. Coincidentally, she had met with a few days of travelling, and was unable to even attend Ji Chongde's birthday banquet.
After Han Meixuan and Ji Nichang chatted for a while, she brought Ji Nichang into the house while Ji Chenxi continued to stand under the roof. After a while, he passed through the heavy rain and entered a pavilion not far away, silently smoking.
