302 Ji Wen’s Status in the Family
Fang Xiaonuan continued, “Mrs. Liu knelt before my husband yesterday because of you. She doesn’t even want the company anymore. She only wants you. I was especially touched at that time. Think about it. You two are not related by blood, but she was willing to give up everything for you.”
“And your father and brother, they’ve been secretly meeting my husband many times. They were afraid that you won’t be able to accept it in such a short time, so they hoped that my husband could give you more time. All of them love you, and they don’t ask for anything in return. As long as you’re happy, even if you’re Ji Xiaoyu, they’ll always treat you as their own daughter!”
“Besides, you’re not a heartless person. Even if you knew that you were Ji Xiaoyu, you didn’t immediately come to acknowledge that, but instead wanted to refuse. You clearly knew how powerful the Ji family was. Look at me, even if I was forced to marry someone, I didn’t dare to break off the engagement, but you refused without hesitation.”
“This means that your love for them is beyond all blood ties. They will feel your love, so what you’re worried about will not happen.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Siyu took a deep breath. “Is this our tribulation year?”
Of the two friends, one was forced to marry, while the other found out that she was not biologically related to her family.
However, Fang Xiaonuan said, “I don’t think that these are bad things. Think about me, I’ve been single for so many years. If you expect me to fall in love on my own, it’ll probably be difficult for me to get married in this life. In the end, I didn’t get into a relationship and got married first. My ideal type is someone rich and handsome. Where else can I find such a good man?” Of course, being in bed with him was a little difficult.
“And you, you have so many family members all of a sudden, and they all dote on you so much. You’re so blessed! Besides, isn’t being Ji Wen’s aunt a good thing?”
“Don’t you pity him a little?” Liu Siyu asked.
Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. “Why? I’m his aunt. Bullying him at home feels great.”
Liu Siyu asked in confusion, “You’re also bullying him at home? Won’t sister-in-law and my eldest brother be unhappy?”
Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again. “Xiaoyu, you still don’t know about Ji Wen’s status in the family. When you rejoin the Ji family, you’ll understand why Xiaowen is so eager to move out and live by himself.”
Liu Siyu did not know that Ji Wen was being bullied at home, so she asked, “Isn’t he the only child of the Ji family? And the young master of the Ji family?”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “That’s right. He’s the young master of the Ji family. Before I joined the family, Ji Wen was like the king of the Ji family. But ever since I entered the family, perhaps I jinxed him or something, but Ji Wen’s status in the family has become lower. Later on, even Dad started smacking him around.”
Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows and thought about it. “Before you married into the family, my second brother didn’t get married, and the Ji family still needed Ji Wen to continue the family line, so they spoiled him. Now that you’ve married into the family, you’ll have another child in a few years. Ji Wen won’t be the only child, so they don’t have to spoil him anymore.”
Fang Xiaonuan pondered for a moment. “What you said makes sense. No wonder you’re a member of the Ji family. You know them too well.”
“If Ji Wen had gotten married earlier and had a child, would his status in the Ji family have risen and then stabilized?” Fang Xiaonuan asked after much thought.
Liu Siyu shook her head. “That would only make his status worse. They would have a great grandson. Who would care about Ji Wen then?”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “That makes a lot of sense!”
At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan really wanted to remind Ji Wen to get married a little later. He would have a better time that way.
The next day, a magical scene played out in the living room of the Ji family.
Fang Xiaonuan, Liu Siyu, and Ji Wen sat at the dining table and ate as usual.
Old Master Ji, Mayor Ji, Feng Qi, and the maids all looked at Liu Siyu.
Old Master Ji did not sleep at all last night. He got up early and went to the front door. When he saw that his daughter’s shoes were still there, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his daughter would be gone when he woke up.
Feng Qi and Mayor Ji looked at Liu Siyu, thinking about how she looked like when she was young.
Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, was at peace. He only had eyes for his little wife. As he watched her gobble down the food, he reminded her, “Today is the 14th.”
Fang Xiaonuan, who was eating happily, asked with a confused expression, “What’s on the 14th?”
With his family around, Ji Lingchen chose to say less. He took the crab from Fang Xiaonuan’s hands and gave her some vegetables.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, are you abusing me? You’re not letting me eat?”
Ji Lingchen patted Fang Xiaonuan’s stomach and said, “Do you understand?”
Only then did Fang Xiaonuan remember that her period was near. However, she thought about it and realized that there was still time. She said, “There are still four days!”
“When the pain is unbearable, you’ll start swearing again,” Ji Lingchen replied.
