Chapter 98, I like it
After thinking about it, Ocarina realized that Ji Xianghong was not willing to believe her, but was actually willing to believe in his son Ji Yao. That's enough for her, though. What she needs is his belief, and she needs him to be innocent.
He sighed slightly, and his white fingers gently rubbed his temples. Probably because she had experienced too many unexpected things tonight, it would make her heart really tired.
She thinks that she has never deliberately hurt anyone, but there are always people who want to prevent her from having a good time. For example, Shi Xinyu has been looking for her fault. Another example is Su Hong, who carefully designed this play. Another example is this housekeeper, it was the first time she met him, why did he join forces with Su Hong to slander her so much?
When people are in a low mood, they can't help but be a little pessimistic.
Just like she is at this moment, she is really a little pessimistic.
Xu Yan has been with Ji Xianghong for so many years, so he naturally understands his style. The dark light of disdain in his eyes showed that he had already confirmed his judgment in his heart, and he was very annoyed in his heart. I was annoyed that I neglected the detail that the BMW car was not driving the ocarina, and I also ignored the master's preference for Ji Yao.
At this point, he had to raise his eyes guiltily, "Master, I'm sorry...... I lied about it. I'm sorry...... I did it on purpose......"
Ji Xianghong's emotions that had been suppressed all night broke out like this, his eyes flashed with scarlet light, and he shot the case, "Why did you do this?"
His furious voice caused the air in the study to drop a few freezing points in an instant.
In an instant, there was a touch of flak everywhere.
Ji Cheng frowned in fright, and Su Hong's heart trembled.
In the next second, Ji Xianghong pointed at Su Hong and said angrily, "You...... Did you say it had anything to do with you? Did you instruct him to do that?"
Su Hong bounced up in fright, with a panicked face, "Husband, how can you say that? I don't know anything about this, how can you say that about me? Xiaodi, I like this kid very much, how could I do this? What the housekeeper does has nothing to do with me!"
Ji Xianghong hooked his lips sneeringly, and his eyes like a flaming mountain looked straight at her, "Are you sure this matter has nothing to do with you?" Su Hong I know you well over the years, don't think I don't know what you have in mind." No matter how well you hide it on the surface, I also know that you actually have resentment in your heart. You want to use this to make me hate Ocarina even more, and thus make my father-son relationship with Xiao Yao even more strained. Isn't that right?"
Su Hong was frightened by his eyes and retreated, shook her head, and cried anxiously, "I didn't! I really didn't...... Husband, I have been by your side to take care of you all these years...... Where else can I get an idea?"
It was the first time that Ocarina had seen Ji Xianghong's anger like this, and the look in his eyes was several times more terrifying than the last time he kidnapped her. The smell of gunpowder in the air made her heartstrings tense.
Ji Cheng dodged his eyes in fear, with a look of hesitation. I wanted to come forward to speak for my mother, but I was afraid of my father's anger.
Xu Yan's eyes were crushed with a touch of complexity, and his back stiffened.
Su Hong was forced into a corner by Ji Xianghong, and cried loudly, "Husband, what are you doing here? Are you trying to kill me? I said it all...... It's none of the business with me...... I've been following you for so many years...... I've always had the right sense of proportion, how can I have the courage to do such a thing under your nose? I've always wanted our family to be harmonious, how can I deliberately hurt our family's harmony?"
She shouted aggrievedly, "Xu Yan, why have you become dumb......? Tell the master why you did this? Do you tell the master that this matter has anything to do with me?
Xu Yan hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, you are angry." I swear with my life that this matter has nothing to do with Madame. It's all my own doing...... It was my fault. It doesn't matter how you beat me, scold me, or punish me. It's just that this matter really has nothing to do with Madame......"
Ji Xianghong's sharp eyes shot at him, "Xu Yan, you are becoming more and more presumptuous!!Are you trying to protect her?"
Xu Yan shook his head in fear, "Master, I don't dare, I have always been obedient to you in this family." I have always admired my lord all these years and have always been grateful. I am grateful to the master for giving me this well-paid job, and of course, the most important thing is that the master gave me the opportunity to embody the value of my life...... I have already made a mistake, how dare I make a mistake on top of a mistake for my wife? Master, this matter is my own idea, you can punish me. I can be punished for two years without paychecking. ”
Ji Xianghong's eyes were darker, and he thought to himself. Xu Yan has been by his side for many years, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he also understands his style, so he should not dare to make things up again. He wrinkled his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Why did you do that?"
Xu Yan sighed, "Master, actually...... Actually, I'm for the eldest young master......"
Ji Yao swept over with a cold eye, and he gasped again.
"Old man......"
Xu Yan finally pointed to the ocarina as if he had let go, "I just don't like this ocarina, I don't like her." But I watched my lord accept her day by day, and I was very uncomfortable and anxious. That's why I did it, I did it...... It's also for the eldest young master. The eldest young master shouldn't marry her, the eldest young master had a ...... before"
"Shut up!"
"Enough!"
"Say no more!"
Ji Xianghong, Ji Yao, and Ji Jie spoke at the same time.
Xu Yan really shut up.
Ocarina actually already knew the existence of Xiao Ya, and guessed what Xu Yan was going to say next. But obviously, the three of them didn't want her to know. Therefore, she also subconsciously pretended to be stupid. In fact, she was also afraid in her heart that what would happen after this apparent calm was broken by the name Xiaoya?
Ji Jie and Ji Xianghong are also nervous to varying degrees.
Everything seems to be going in a good direction now, and the name Xiaoya shouldn't be mentioned. Because no one knows where she went, and no one knows if she will come back?
Maintaining the status quo is the best state of affairs at the moment......
As for Ji Yao, he was a subconscious reaction. He didn't want to hear those two words, he didn't want to hear them.
Su Hong shrank in the corner, but she was sneering in her heart. Three stupid fools, Ocarina has long known about Xiaoya's existence. Are they still covering up?
Hehe......
Stupidity!
Looking at the ocarina again, she looked dazed, as if she really didn't know that Xiaoya existed. Does she really not care? Or is she pretending not to care? Or is she afraid to care?
After Xu Yan received Ji Xianghong's eyes, he changed his rhetoric again, "The eldest young master had an unpleasant quarrel with the old master before, and there was an estrangement. I don't like the eldest young grandmother, I think she is too ordinary, and she is not worthy of the eldest young master at all. I also feel sorry for my lord as a father, who has made concessions and compromises step by step, and I can't stand it anymore. I just wanted to do something to make the eldest young master realize that his decision to marry the eldest young grandmother was wrong. I had everything seamless, but I overlooked the most ordinary and unreasonable plot. I ignored that the BMW car has always been driven by the eldest young master...... I'm wrong, I really know it's wrong!!"
"Get out!!" Ji Xianghong shouted angrily, "You get out of here!!"
Xu Yan hurriedly retreated, and before leaving, he also admonished, "Master, don't be angry. Don't be angry...... I'm going to get out of here!!"
After he stepped back, Ji Xianghong's eyes swept towards the others.
Ji Jie's face was tired, and every time she went back to the old house, she couldn't be at peace.
Su Hong was still sobbing aggrievedly, and Ji Cheng was also frightened and didn't say a word.
"You guys go out too, Ocarina stays!"
The ocarina was stunned and raised his eyes to look at Ji Xianghong.
When Ji Yao heard this, his long arm stretched out and pulled her up, "Don't pay attention to him, let's go home!"
Ji Xianghong frowned and said to Ji Yao, "What's the matter, I'm afraid I'll eat her?" I just have something to say to her. ”
He looked at the ocarina again, "I'm terrible? Are you afraid of me?"
Ocarina shook his head slightly, then pulled the man's sleeve and whispered, "You wait for me outside first, okay?"
Ji Yao frowned, and then heard her ask softly, "Okay?"
In the end, he went out first in silence, "Hurry up." ”
The door to the study opened and closed again.
When facing Ji Xianghong alone, Ocarina was actually not so nervous, and it was not the first time they had met alone.
She took a deep breath, "What do you want to tell me?"
Ji Xianghong turned around and looked at her, his eyes were a little complicated, and he said in a half-loud voice, "I can't help you in this matter today, don't take it to heart." ”
Ocarina was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that Ji Xianghong, the only head of the family, would apologize to her. She was not an ignorant person, and hurriedly said, "Don't say that. In fact, I also know that no matter whether I did this or not, it was always because of me that I caused your birthday party, and I should apologize. ”
She said this with great sincerity, without the slightest artificiality and delicateness.
This made Ji Xianghong a little impressed, seeing that she is usually a noisy character, but she didn't expect that she was quite sensible at a critical time. He looked at her with a little more warmth in his eyes, his voice was a little hoarse, and he hesitated, "Today's matter is something I can't discipline, and in the final analysis, it's a family matter." So this thing ......"
Ocarina's clear eyes were full of intelligence, and he immediately said, "I understand what you mean, as the saying goes, a good family and ugliness should not be publicized." I won't talk about it again, I was a little excited and wanted to prove it to everyone. I am not willing to be wronged, and I want to try to clear my name. But now that you have believed in me and given me justice, I don't need to dwell on it. To the outside world, you can also say that it is caused by my love of fun, I don't mind. ”
She could understand what Ji Xianghong meant, and she could understand it when he was a little hesitant to speak. This matter will definitely spread in high society today, although the media has suppressed it. But the social circle of the upper class society cannot be ignored, and it is better to talk about the daughter-in-law of the Ji family who is greedy for fun than to talk about the head of the Ji family's family who teaches people without a way.
As soon as her words fell, a touch of incredulity appeared in Ji Xianghong's eyes. He didn't even believe his ears, obviously what he wanted to express hadn't been said yet, she could understand what he wanted to say just by looking at his eyes?
“............”
Ji Xianghong was silent, and the ocarina asked a little unsteadily, "Did I understand what you mean?"
He shook his head, "No." He just wondered how she understood him so well, as if there was a tacit understanding with him.
The eyes in which Ocarina looked at Ji Xianghong now no longer had the fear and nervousness they once had, and what she saw in her eyes now was respect. Because of what happened today, she saw more and more that Ji Xianghong cherished Ji Yao's son. Maybe he really made mistakes when he was younger, really went too far. But his fatherly love for Ji Yao has always been, and it is the kind of love that is carefully hidden under his hard and majestic exterior. Every father's love deserves to be respected.
She had guessed from what he said before, 'I don't know what kind of car Xiao Yao likes to drive to work every day', that his father has actually been silently watching Ji Yao in the dark. In fact, his love for Ji Yao has always been everywhere. It's just that he's not good at expressing himself.
Looking at such a loving father who is so careful, her heart is inexplicably distressed.
That's right, he had always hated her before, and he was very opposed to her being with Ji Yao. But every time his threats were useless, and again and again he was regressing and retreating.
This reminded her of her father, and the relationship between her and his father has always been very flamboyant. She is good at expressing herself and likes to express her adoration and respect for her father. Her father has never been stingy with his love and doting on her, which has always kept their father-daughter relationship very harmonious.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Actually, you are really a very attentive father." I may have been a little scared of you before, but now I think you're a very warm person. You love Ji Yao more than anyone else, but his indifferent personality has always been thousands of miles away from you. However, you still love him and pay attention to him in your own way. At today's banquet, I can even see that you look at him with admiration in your eyes. You must be very pleased with Ji Yao's excellence, and you must be very proud. ”
Ji Xianghong's straight back stiffened again, looking at her smart and sincere eyes that seemed to be able to speak, he sighed for the first time, took off all the usual disguised majesty, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of self-deprecation, "You understand me, Xiao Yao doesn't understand." ”
Everyone thought that he was born majestic and liked to control everything with his majesty. In fact, he just gradually evolved like this in the process of playing with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao thought that his concern was guilty and hypocritical, but in fact, Xiao Yao didn't know that he really loved his son.
When he was born, the moment he held him in his arms, he cherished this continuation of his life. He even remembered the moment he lay in the cradle and smiled at him for the first time, and he even felt his heart throb a little.
Seeing the dark wound in his eyes, Ocarina suddenly comforted him distressedly, "Ji Yao is actually very similar to you to a large extent, he uses indifference and coldness to hide himself. He is very cold on the surface, but in fact he has a temperature in his heart. Maybe your estrangement over the years is due to a lack of communication and expression. He resists you, and you are afraid of being resisted by him, of being disliked for your fatherly love. So, you've always loved it with care and care. Loving him in his own way, he also resists you in his own way. ”
After a pause, she said softly, "Actually, I know that Ji Yao has always had your father in his heart, otherwise with his character, no matter how much I pleaded and spoiled, he would not come." And the scarf I knitted for you, although he frowned in displeasure as he knitted, but he did not stop me. So, I'm sure your relationship will gradually get along. ”
Ji Xianghong looked at her delicate facial features and clarifying eyes, and suddenly said with emotion, "I suddenly feel that I tried to accept that your decision was done very right." You are indeed an unusual girl, you seem to love to laugh and make trouble, but you are a very sensitive girl. You smile like sunshine and can't help but want to be infected by you. ”
Ocarina smiled rarely, "Are you complimenting me?"
Ji Xianghong was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Sort of." ”
Ocarina smiled again, "Thank you, I've always cared about what you think of me." I hope that Ji Yao's family can accept me, and I also hope that Ji Yao can get along with his family. I hope more people will love him, and I was very happy when I found out that you loved him very much. ”
Ji Xianghong took a deep breath, reached out and patted her shoulder, and hooked his lips with relief, "Child, you moved me." Your kindness, sensibility, and smile touched me. I won't object to you being together anymore, I have to admit that Xiao Yao has changed a lot with you. I hope you can take good care of him and melt him. As long as you can make him happy, I support you, and I want him to be happy more than anyone else in this world. ”
The corners of Ocarina's eyes were a little moist, and he nodded, "Thank you, I will!!"
"Go back and rest, and I'll see the old house when I have time in the future." Ji Xianghong restrained his majesty and became a little serious.
Ocarina smiled, "Well, I will." I will pester Ji Yao to go back to the old mansion more often. ”
When she walked to the door, Ji Xianghong said in a dumb voice, "Scarf, it's very warm, I like it." ”
When he walked out of the door of the study, he met Ji Yao's nervous deep eyes. He looked at the ocarina, and then looked at Ji Xianghong in the study, and said in a deep voice, "Don't do those self-righteous stupid behaviors in the future, don't spy on me! Don't try to get close to me! Care about me!!" He heard from his previous words that there were also his people in the hospital, which made him very unhappy.
In order to ease his mood, Ocarina gently pulled his sleeve, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
When she went downstairs, Ji Yao followed her.
Inside the car.
Ji Yao was driving, and the ocarina propped up on the window without saying a word, in a slight daze.
As if taking care of her mood, Ji Yao's car drove very slowly.
Outside the window, a cool breeze blew in. Ocarina is in a mess now, and I really want to blow the wind. Even if it's a little cold, I don't care. Maybe only a cool breeze can clear her mind a little, right?
He frowned, closed the window, and took the initiative to speak, "What did he tell you?"
Ocarina shook her head slightly, she didn't want to speak now, she didn't want to speak.
Ji Yao thought that she was being embarrassed by Ji Xianghong, so she looked at her and said three words, "Ignore him!"
His big hand also went around and rubbed the top of her hair, as if to comfort her.
This most intimate and frequent intimate act made the bottom of Ocarina's heart rise again.
He seems to be very good to her, spoiling her, and loving her, but is all this true?
She suddenly asked him, "Is it true that you said today that you believed me?"
Ji Yao nodded, "Yes!"
She tightened the strength of her fingers a little impulsively, and there was an impulsive voice in her heart that wanted to ask him whether he believed in her ocarina or firmly believed in her because he regarded her as Xiaoya's stand-in?
