On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ji Yufan refused to get up in bed, tossing Ye Yanran over and over again, and when he thought that the two would be separated for a week, he was reluctant to let go of her.

"Ji Yufan, if you don't get up again, you're really going to miss the plane. Ye Yanran reminded coquettishly under her.

He leaned over and kissed her on the lips domineeringly, "If you don't concentrate, you should be punished!"

Ye Yanran pushed him hard, widening the distance between the two of them, "I'm going to be angry if you do this again!"

Ji Yufan finally stopped, lying on her and refusing to come down, "I don't want to go back!"

"Don't say stupid things, get up quickly!" Ye Yanran, who gradually had some understanding of Ji Yufan's life experience, knew that this was impossible.

Ji Yufan turned over aggrievedly, with a look of resentment, "Ranran, don't you feel a little reluctant to me?"

Ye Yanran smiled, what a child, reluctant to go!

She nudged him, "It's just a few days, don't grind, go take a shower, I'll take you to the airport." ”

Ji Yufan pouted and got up and walked out, "Ruthless woman!"

On the way to the airport, Ji Yufan was like an angry little daughter-in-law throughout the whole process, and the grievances and unhappiness were written on her face.

Ye Yanran saw him so childish, it was really angry and funny, more heartwarming, she took advantage of the gap in the parking at the intersection, patted his hand and said: "Okay! But it's only been back for a week and it's not a big deal, haven't you heard of Xiao Biesheng getting married!"

When Ji Yufan heard the last sentence, his face finally improved, and he immediately climbed the pole and asked, "Then let's unlock a few new postures then!"

Ye Yanran's face sank, what kind of new posture is that, do you think she is an acrobat? Why are men like this, their minds are full of filthy things.

"Okay, can't you?" Ji Yufan shook her arm coquettishly, her eyes hooked up to her cherry mouth, fantasizing that if she wrapped it there, it would be warm and exciting.

"Let's talk about it when you come back!" Ye Yanran looked sloppy, saw the traffic light change from red to green, immediately started the car, clenched the steering wheel with both hands, looked straight ahead, and put on a look of "I want to concentrate on driving", in order to escape Ji Yufan's boring question.

In the airport, Ji Yufan hugged and hugged people, his arms tightened again and again, and he couldn't wait to rub people into his body, until the airport broadcast made the last boarding reminder, he reluctantly let go of his hand.

"Ranran, I want to take you in my pocket!"

"Don't be stupid, get in, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

After returning from Jiyang, Ye Yanran drove back to Ye's house directly, and did countless psychological construction for herself along the way, in fact, she was more reluctant to separate the two than Ji Yufan, and in her heart Ji Yufan had become her only relative. And on such a festival of family reunion, she could only be separated from him, and the discomfort in her heart can be imagined.

The car stopped in the community, Ye Yanran opened the trunk, took out the gift that Ji Yufan had prepared for her in advance, and carried it back in large and small bags.

Mother Ye opened the door and looked at the bags of things in her hand, snorted, turned around and went into the house, but Father Ye walked over quickly from the corner of the sofa and took the things in Ye Yanran's hand.

"Why are you so polite when your child goes back to his house for the New Year, didn't he give your mother money to prepare New Year's goods before?"

Previously, Ye Yanran transferred an extra 10,000 yuan to Ye's mother, saying that it was used to give the family money for the New Year. Although she insisted that she didn't want to take care of her family's affairs anymore, her filial piety has never been less. If it weren't for Mother Ye going too far, she wouldn't want to make everyone's relationship so stiff.

Mother Ye clasped her arms and leaned against the kitchen door, "Hmph, I don't know where I picked up the bargain and couldn't send it out before I took it home." ”

"If you don't have two sentences, won't you be able to spend the New Year in peace? I think these things are good, I like them very much. ”

Father Ye temporarily piled things up in a corner of the living room, and it was rare to say a few words for Ye Yanran.

"Cut, what do you know?" Ye Mu walked over and glanced at the things on the ground with disdain, and found that they were all famous brands, so she pouted and didn't say anything more.

Ye Yanran didn't expect Mother Ye to have any better attitude, so she lowered her eyes and sat down on the sofa in the living room with her father silently.

Ye Yixiao was like growing on the sofa, half-lying and half-lying on the entire three-person sofa, holding up his mobile phone to play games. Ignore everything that's happening in the room.

Ye Yanran also knew that if her younger brother stayed at home like this for a long time, he would be ruined, she didn't want to help him, but she also wanted him to have the desire to improve.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask: "Smile, it's not a way for you to be at home every day, do you have any plans for the new year?"

Ye Yixiao didn't raise his eyelids, his eyes were always staring at the mobile phone screen, and he said lazily: "Do I plan to be useful?

Ye Yanran suddenly regretted that she had started this.

Father Ye said on the side: "Yanran, your brother is still young, and he has just come back and is not familiar with the situation in China, you still have to find a way to help him more, your mother and I are old, and you sisters and brothers will have to support each other in the future." ”

"Dad, Yixiao is my younger brother, if he can not be ambitious and down-to-earth, of course I will do my best to help him. In this way, let him go to my friend's company to exercise after the New Year, accumulate some experience, and then consider starting his own business when the time is ripe. ”

Father Ye also thought it was a good idea to hear Ye Yanran say this, he was really worried about watching his son Lai at home every day, in case he was not there that day, just laughing like this, didn't he have any survivability at all?

So he asked with great interest: "What kind of company, talk to Dad." ”

Regarding Ye Yixiao, Ye Yanran discussed with Ji Yufan a few days ago, and later Ji Yufan suggested that it was better to ask Ye Yixiao to go to Chang Huan's company to start from a low level and exercise for a few years.

"It is a high-tech company listed in the United States, with good development prospects, and it is a smile to start learning from the grassroots level for a few years, and then accumulate some work experience, and then see if he wants to stay and continue to develop or start his own business. ”

Ye Yixiao was still slumped on the sofa, and said casually: "Let me go over to serve people, I won't go." ”

Mother Ye originally heard that Ye Yanran was going to introduce her son to work in a listed company, and her heart was already a little active, but when she saw a smile, she suddenly understood what it meant to learn from the grassroots, isn't this just to let her baby son do chores for others?

How can this be? This damn girl really didn't have a good heart!

She snorted coldly and said, "If you don't want to help your brother, just say it, why do you have to pretend to be a good person here to fool me and your father? No matter how I laugh, I came back from studying in the United States, if I want to start from the grassroots level, do you still need to introduce him, a lot of companies are vying to invite him, and you don't need to be kind here!"

Ye Yanran was speechless, Ye Yixiao had been in the United States for a few years, but he didn't even get a pheasant university diploma, saying that he was going to study abroad, but it was actually similar to going on vacation, but he still refused to face this reality.

She had tried to smile in English before, and she had been in the United States for a few years, and she couldn't even pass basic English, so what could he do?

Ye Mu continued: "If you really want to help Yixiao, just tell your friend to give me a smile and a department manager to do, and the monthly salary is not less than 20,000 yuan." ”

Ye Yanran really didn't know if her mother knew what a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan represented, and how much strength and physical strength she needed to earn it.

She tried her best to adjust her emotions and try to be calm, "The company has a company system, what position can a smile do, how much money can be earned, it depends on the strength he knows." It's not for me to decide. ”

Ye Mu rolled her eyes and said confidently, "Isn't that your friend's company?"

"That can't be nonsense!"

"Why are you here, it's not that you want your brother to be the president, it's just a department manager, why is it nonsense!"

Father Ye couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that something good was about to mess up again, and he had some intention of calming things down, "Okay, okay, let's go and prepare dinner! ”

"Whatever you do, I'm so angry that I'm not in the mood. Mother Ye tore off her apron and threw it on the table, turned around and went back to the bedroom and slammed the door with a bang.

Ye Yanran looked at her father's embarrassed expression, got up and said, "I'll go cook!"

After more than two hours of busyness, the meal was served, Ye Mu and Ye Yixiao barely served the table, and the family sat around the table, but there was no happy atmosphere for the whole family.

After eating in embarrassment, Ye Yanran took the initiative to take on the work of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and simply hid in the kitchen and did not come out.

The mobile phone vibrated in his pocket, and when he opened it, Ji Yufan sent a blessing text message, and finally added, "I miss you." ”

It was just three words, but Ye Yanran's heart warmed up all of a sudden, and she quickly returned, "I miss you too." ”

Although they have only been separated for a few hours, their thoughts have grown in their hearts like a shadow.

Ye Mu stood at the door of the kitchen and saw Ye Yanran fiddling with her mobile phone, and sneered: "I said why are you so active all of a sudden, it turns out that you came in to hide Qingjing, if you don't want to see us so much, you don't have to come back." Anyway, I knew that I raised your daughter for nothing, and I didn't even want to help my brother, and I knew that I was selfish and took care of myself. ”

Ye Yanran put away her mobile phone silently, stood by the pool and lowered her head to brush the dishes.

Ye Mu crackled and talked for a long time, but she couldn't get an answer, as if her fist hit the air, silent, consciously boring, and went back to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala angrily.

Ye Yanran cleaned up, looked at the night sky through the narrow window of the kitchen and was in a daze before returning to the house.

In the living room, Ye Yixiao still occupies a three-person sofa, and on the single sofa on the left and right are Ye's father and Ye's mother, respectively, while watching TV, they chatted about the current Spring Festival Gala The level of the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as a year, and there is not even a decent sketch.

Ye Yanran stood on the side, completely like an outsider, she was stunned for a while, turned around and went back to her room, pushed open the door and found that her room had become a storage room, the table and bed were full of things, and there was no one to live in at all.

Father Ye heard the movement, walked over, and said embarrassedly behind her: "If you don't come back, the things in this house are piling up more and more, it doesn't matter, let's move the things to the living room first, and then change the sheets to sleep." ”

Ye Mu said bitterly: "How can you move so many things? Why bother so much, won't it be over when we finish watching TV and let her take a quilt to sleep on the sofa?"

At this moment, Ye Yanran was really cold, "Dad, forget it, don't get it, I'd better go back to sleep!"

Father Ye was still trying to figure out how to move the things on the bed down, "It's so late, let's stay at home for one night! ”

Mother Ye snatched the things in Father Ye's hand and said, "Don't move for me, I have to clean up again if I mess up the order." Isn't it just a living room, and it's so uncomfortable? Do you want to be so precious?"

Ye Yanran couldn't stay any longer, "Dad, Mom, smile, I wish you a happy New Year, it's okay, I'll go back first." ”

Father Ye had a difficult look on his face, and muttered, "It's so late, it's not safe for you to be a girl." ”

"It didn't matter, I came by car and it was easy to go back. Ye Yanran hurriedly put on her coat, took her bag and walked out.

Ye Mu said angrily: "Okay, I have the ability, I have the money to buy a car for myself, but I don't know how to take the money out to help your brother." You know that you cry poor with me every day. ”

Ye Yanran didn't bother to explain again, anyway, it was the same whether she said it or not.

Father Ye took his coat and said, "Then I'll send it to you!"

The father and daughter went downstairs one after the other, walked to the car, and Ye's father said: "Yanran, don't blame your mother, she is also bitter." I apologize to you for her, if it weren't for my pockets, she probably wouldn't be where she is today. I'm sorry for you. ”

Father Ye wanted to speak and stopped, it seemed that there was something in the words, if Ye Yanran would have asked a few words of why a few years ago, now she is really dead, and she no longer wants to know why her mother treats her so differently than Yixiao, obviously they are all her children.

She didn't have any mood swings indifferently, but said very mechanically: "It's okay, I know." ”

Father Ye looked at her curtly, wanting to say something but didn't know where to start.

Ye Yanran reached out and took out a card from her bag and stuffed it into Ye's father's hand, "You can take this money, you can buy something if you want! If there is nothing wrong, I won't be here for a few days." After the New Year, if you smile and figure out that you want to go to work, let him find me, and then I will ask my friend to arrange it. ”

Driving home, the bell rang just at twelve o'clock, firecrackers rang out the window, and the sky was full of fireworks, Ye Yanran looked up at the bright moon in the sky, thinking about Ji Yufan, who was also under the bright moon, I don't know how he was doing during the Spring Festival, is it a happy family?

……

At the same time, Ji Yufan's Chinese New Year's Eve was not easy at all.

Ji's father was worried that he was alone in France with his children in the outer room, and he actually brought people back, which of course caused strong opposition from Ji's mother, originally Mr. Ji was on the side of his daughter-in-law, and he also said cruel words, and resolutely disagreed with the entry of the mistress.

But the little three's belly was angry and gave birth to a son, as soon as the old man Ji saw his grandson, his attitude softened significantly, and in the end, he even persuaded Ji's mother, it is better to fight for a blind eye, and forget it, you can't let the children of the Ji family be left out.

Although Ji's mother is angry, there is nothing she can do, if she makes a tight fuss, maybe her Mrs. Ji's status will not be guaranteed, but she will fulfill the little three. She has worked hard for so many years, and it is impossible for her to give up the seat in the main room like this.

So, phone call after call urged Ji Yufan to go back, this son is the trump card in her hand, her only hope, with him, no one wants to shake her Mrs. Ji's position.

Ji Yufan returned to the imperial capital under such a background, and the situation can be imagined.

A family that is already full of problems and does not have much warmth, because of the extra woman and child, the atmosphere becomes even more weird.

Ji Yufan sat at the dining table and looked at his father and mother, only to feel embarrassed, and felt embarrassed for them. He really didn't understand why such a marriage was worth continuing.

Everything is just interests, and in addition to the cold interest relationship in this family, there is no family affection at all. He began to miss his and Ye Yanran's hut, and missed every day in J City.

At dinner, Old Man Ji sat on the main seat, showing the majesty of the head of the family in kindness, Ji's father and Ji's mother sat on both sides, Ji's mother pulled Ji Yufan to sit beside her, and his named sister Ji Yuchen sat next to Ji's father.

"Go and call Miss Gu down. Old Man Ji commanded.

Ji Mu's body stiffened, and the hand on her lap tightened. In the past few days, Gu Jia has always been unqualified to serve at the table, she always eats in the room with her child in her arms, and Ji's father often finds reasons to go up to accompany her, which she doesn't care about for a long time. But now, is this going to officially be on an equal footing with her?

Gu Jia came down from upstairs with the child in her arms and stood timidly in the living room. Ji Yufan only glanced at it, and three words "White Lotus" flashed in his mind, and it was the kind with a very low rank, he really couldn't imagine that his father had been immersed in the business world for so many years, and his vision of people would be so poor.

Young is really young, is his father going to make the family into a miasma just for the sake of a young body? Ji Yufan can't understand his father, just as he can't understand why his mother should endure it.

Old Man Ji spoke, "Miss Gu, sit casually!"

I don't know what Ji Yuchen's purpose and thoughts were, so he stood up and moved a seat to the side, giving up his original seat to Gu Jia.

Ji Mu's face changed, her lips moved, and she didn't say anything after all.

There was a low pressure at the dinner table, everyone lowered their heads and concentrated on eating, and the room was so quiet that there was no sound of knives and forks colliding.

In the end, it was Old Man Ji who spoke first: "Fanfan, when will you be willing to return to the imperial capital, you are not young, it's time to go back to the company to help your father." ”

This topic is what Ji's mother is happy to see, since she knew that Gu Jia was unexpectedly pregnant and was about to give birth to the child, she always hoped that her son would come back, so she also went to J City in person, but in the end she returned in vain. It's best for the old man to bring it up now.

She immediately greeted and said: "Yes, Fanfan should come back early, your sister is not young now, it's time to think about personal problems, if you don't come back, the burden is all on your sister, and she has no time to fall in love." ”

Ji's mother was smart enough to bypass her husband.

Ji Yuchen smiled lightly, "Mom, I'm not in a hurry." Since I promised to let Fan Fan be free until he is 24 years old, I will be able to keep an eye on him until that time. Anyway, it's not bad for a year or two. ”

At the beginning, Ji Yufan had always refused to accept the family's arrangement, and he rebelled everywhere, asking him to study business, he went to study architecture, and asked him to go to the United States, he stayed for less than a year and ran back to the imperial capital, and when the imperial capital arranged for him, he ran back to the United States.

After a few games between his grandson and grandson, Old Man Ji really had nothing to do with this stubborn grandson, so he agreed to let Ji Yufan go until he was 24 years old. Before that, he could live exactly as he wanted, but after the age of 24, he had to come back to learn to take over the business and take on the responsibility of the future family heir.

Now that Ji Yuchen deliberately mentioned this, he also wanted to push back the time when Ji Yufan came back as much as possible, so that she would have more time to cultivate and consolidate her own forces.

Of course, Ji Yufan knew that although he was in J City, he was clear about his sister's every move. At first, he didn't have this scheming, but after being in distress in the United States several times, he gradually realized that there was a problem, and people found out that his sister wanted his life in order to take the tree.

Only then did he realize that fame and fortune, which he did not value, were more important than human life in the eyes of others. It was also from then on that he deliberately began to accumulate his own power to protect himself and as a bargaining chip in the future against his family.

At this time, Ji Yufan put on a harmless and somewhat cute smile and said: "That's right, didn't grandpa promise me to wait until I'm 24 years old?

Old man Ji has no resistance to his smart, beautiful and lovely eldest grandson at all, otherwise he would not spoil him, and he will be fooling around outside until he is 24 years old, he laughed and said: "Grandpa doesn't want to regret it, grandpa misses my big baby." Grandpa is old, you can't come back to accompany grandpa sooner!"

At this time, the child in Gu Jia's arms said "ah, ah" twice, attracting the attention of Old Man Ji, and Father Ji took the opportunity to say: "Dad, let's let Fan Fan go for another year as originally said, don't you still have a little grandson to accompany you?"

In the past, Ji's father did hope that his son would come back to take over the family business earlier, and he would be more at ease, but recently he had another son, coupled with Gu Jia's pillow wind, his thoughts began to change.

For the sake of Gu Jia and his youngest son, he has to keep the family business, and he can't let them have no support in the future.

Anyway, I am not yet fifty years old, and it is not impossible to keep my youngest son in his teens and twenties. For this reason, he doesn't want Ji Yufan to come back now.

Mother Ji is only cruel to her own son next to her, why is she still so uncompetitive, can't she see that this family is calculating their mother and son?

As soon as dinner was over, she called Ji Yufan to her room to mention her face, and she was moved with affection and reason, but it can be said that Ji Yufan insisted on waiting for another year.

In a hurry, he simply asked: "Mom, since you are so unhappy in this family, why don't you just divorce? You are only 46 years old, and it is not too late to divorce and find your own happiness, so why do you want to entangle each other like this?"

The mother and son are not on the same channel at all, and they can't talk about it, but they can't get a result, and they can only break up unhappily in the end.

Back in the room, it was already early in the morning, the imperial capital had been banned many years ago, there were no fireworks, no firecrackers, no family members who loved each other, Ji Yufan's heart had already flown back to J City, flew back to the hut, and flew back to Ye Yanran......
