Chapter 165: Homecoming Banquet

Inside the Ji Building.

Ji Heng didn't know that Wen Yi would take Wen Xi back to the old mansion today, so he had a lot of work. It wasn't until the secretary knocked on the door and came in that he looked up from the desk.

"Mr. Ji, Miss Wen took the child to the Ji family's old house today." The secretary reported formulaically.

"What?" Ji Heng was stunned, how could it be.

"I heard what the people over there meant that Miss Wen called Mrs. Ji the day before and took the child over voluntarily."

Ji Heng suppressed the smile in his eyes and asked the secretary, "What are the arrangements for the trip later?" ”

The secretary glanced at Ji Heng curiously, and quickly lowered his head to report: "Half an hour later, there was a meeting with overseas subsidiaries on capital turnover, and then I made an appointment with Mr. Huasheng Wang for dinner, and in the afternoon I made a summary report on the company's internal last quarter." ”

After a while, Ji Heng knocked on the table and said, "Half an hour later, the meeting will be advanced, and the rest will be postponed." ”

The secretary was surprised, but complied. Just as he was about to turn around and quit, he heard Ji Heng say again: "By the way, the game company that cooperated last time, did they launch a global limited physical toy." I bought it in my name and now I'm sending it to the old house. ”

The old house of the Ji family. Ji Mu sat back with Ji Ling, who had washed and changed his clothes. The family was chatting when the doorbell rang suddenly.

"Hello, this is what Mr. Ji asked me to send, saying that it was to welcome Miss Wen Xi home, and I specially bought it for her." Outside the door, the driver next to Ji Heng said to Steward Wang, who came to open the door.

Steward Wang carefully took the toy, which was almost half a person high, and turned around with a smile on his face to repeat what the driver had just said to everyone.

Ji Mu took the toy and said in surprise: "I thought that Xiao Heng didn't care about Wen Xi, but I didn't expect this child to have a heart." ”

Father Ji took over and said, "No matter how you say it, it's also his own flesh and blood, how can you really not care." ”

"Hey, I've seen this toy. The company that cooperated with Ji's some time ago launched this toy, which seems to be a limited edition, and there are not a few releases. My cousin is making a big deal this time. Seeing that the toy was so big, Ji Anyang came over curiously and exclaimed.

The speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, and Ji's father and mother didn't mean anything else when they said this, but when it fell into Ji Ling's ears, it changed its taste.

She felt unbalanced for a moment, and rushed to the center of the living room and shouted: "It's Wen Xi again, it's Wen Xi again!" Obviously grandma said it yourself, she and I are both children of the Ji family, why is she the only one who has toys? What about mine, what am I? ”

Ji Ling cried regardless of it, and Ji's mother stood in place in embarrassment for a while, not knowing how to react.

"Lingling, you're a sister, don't you want to let a little sister? And today is the first time Wen Xi has come home, so this gift is to welcome her, and you used to have a lot of toys, right? Ji Mu patiently coaxed Ji Ling.

Ji Ling didn't buy it, "I don't care, I don't care!" My previous ones didn't add up to this one, but Wen Xi was lucky, he just came back with such a big toy. I want this too, can't I? ”

Ji Ling is used to buying people's hearts, and he cried a lot before, but in the end, he squeezed a few tears pitifully, which made Ji's mother's anger rise suddenly extinguished.

Father Ji looked at this farce made by Tong Ji Ling impatiently, and said, "Okay, count the time, Wen Xi and they should also come." Ji Ling wants this toy, just give it to her. In the future, the Ji family can give Wen Xi a better one. ”

Father Ji threw down this sentence lightly, turned around and left directly, and Mother Ji and Ji Anyang also left the table. Ji Ling was the only one left, standing alone in place holding the giant toy.

Half an hour later, Li's mother prepared all the dishes and served them on the table, using empty plates upside down to prevent the heat from escaping.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Ji's father and mother waited excitedly in front of the door. After seeing that it was Wen Yi and Wen Xi, they were all excited.

Wen Yi stood in the doorway, carrying several boxes of things in her hands, and Wen Xi hid behind her.

"Uncle and aunt are embarrassed, I went to buy something on the way, so I was delayed a little time." Wen Yi said apologetically.

Father Ji stood first, and when he heard this, he hurriedly reached out and took the box in Wen Yi's hand, and before he had time to take a closer look, he said again: "It's okay, it's okay, today we said that we would entertain you, but you still bought so many things, how embarrassing are we." If you listen closely, you can still hear a slight choking in his tone.

Ji Mu stood behind and didn't speak, turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips. When she saw Wen Xi again after a few months, her heart ached as soon as she thought that this was her own granddaughter, but she had suffered outside for a few years.

Wen Yi smiled politely, and did not refuse the hand stretched out by Father Ji, and led Wen Xi into the house.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious for a while, Wen Yi talked to Ji's father and Ji's mother, and on the other side, Ji Anyang teased Wen Xi, and from time to time provoked Ji's father and Ji's mother to look at this side. It was Ji Ling, who had been sitting alone and didn't speak.

Ji's father and mother deliberately sat next to Wen Xi, in order to get close to Wen Xi.

"Little Wenxi, is it okay for grandma to hug you?" Ji Mu said, opening her hand and about to grab Wen Xi, but just as she was about to touch it, Wen Xi almost subconsciously dodged back, and Ji Mu's hand froze in the air.

Ji Mu smiled and withdrew her hand, touched Wen Xi's head instead, looked for the steps and said, "It's okay, it's okay, our Wen Xi is still a little scared of life, and he doesn't want to follow me." After speaking, he barely pulled out a smile.

Wen Xi didn't explain, didn't say anything, just sat down on her high stool.

Seeing this, Wen Yi pulled Wen Xi's little hand underneath, and when she looked at herself, she said again: "Wen Xi, have you forgotten what your mother said on the road, how did you promise me?" ”

Wen Xi didn't reply, and when Father Ji saw this, he said in the round on the side: "It's okay Xiao Wen, the child is just not used to coming, let's eat the vegetables first." ”

Wen Yu shook his head at Father Ji, turned around and said to Wen Xi again: "Wen Xi, Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji are your relatives, and they will be very good to you like a mother, and you will make them sad because of Wen Xi." ”

Wen Yi finished saying this to Wen Xi extremely seriously, and said no more.

Wen Xi finally reacted a little, looked up at Wen Yu first, and then his eyes swept over the faces of Ji's father and mother in turn, and finally stopped at Ji Anyang. After a while, she whispered, "Grandpa, I'm sorry ......."

Father Ji was the first to react, and said again and again: "Okay, good, let's Wen Xi is really good." ”

Ji Mu hugged Wen Xi as she wished, pinched this with a smile, and touched that.

After a while, Ji Mu suddenly put Wen Xi back in her seat and became serious.

"Wen Yi, I know that I have done a lot of things to be sorry for your mother and daughter before, and I even kicked Wen Xi out of the kindergarten because of a misunderstanding. Although I also know that it is idle to say anything after the incident has happened, I still want to apologize to you. ”

After hearing this, Wen Yi was silent for a moment and said, "You didn't do anything to me, if you really want to say sorry, it should be to Wen Xi, let her decide." ”

Ji Mu turned to Wen Xi again and looked at her solemnly.

Wen Xi is still young and doesn't understand the relationship, and it is the first time that someone treats her like an adult, so she can't help but feel a little strange. After pretending to think about it for a while, he said, "Grandma Ji, don't look at me like that, I forgive you." ”

Ji Mu breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was moved, and she held Wen Xi in her arms and looked left and right, looking very fond.

On the other side of the dinner table, Ji Ling, who had not said a word since the opening of the table, finally moved at this time. She looked at Wen Xi resentfully, and the chopsticks in her hand poked into the mashed potatoes fiercely. She could see that Ji Mu's expression when she faced Wen Xi was very different from that in front of her. When holding Wen Xi, the smile on Ji's mother's face was relieved and heartfelt, but every time she saw herself, Ji's mother's smile always seemed to have a sense of tiredness and a hint of strangeness, which made her subconsciously shudder every time she saw it.

After Ji Ling poked the last piece of mashed potatoes in his hand, he finally made a move. She slammed her chopsticks on the table, startling everyone at the table. Ji Ling smiled nonchalantly, ran to Wen Xi's side, and reached out to drag Wen Xi down.

Before Ji Muren could react, she was caught up by Ji Ling. Fortunately, Ji's father, who was sitting on the side, reacted quickly and caught Wen Xi at the last second when she landed, preventing Wen Xi from falling directly to the ground.

Wen Yi on the side couldn't sit still and got up the first second she saw Wen Xi being dragged down, watching the movements here in horror, and after seeing Wen Xi fall to the ground steadily, one of her hearts fell back into her stomach.

Wen Yi looked coldly at Ji Ling, the culprit standing aside, after all, this child is a member of the Ji family, and her identity is not suitable for dealing with it, so she can only see what Ji's father and mother do first.

Wen Xi was frightened like that just now, and the feeling of weightlessness on the ground still lingered in the tip of his heart, and then he cried out unconsciously. provoked Ji's father to not care about dealing with Ji Ling's side, and hurriedly comforted Wen Xi.

Ji Mu came back to her senses, first went over to take a closer look at Wen Xi to see if she was hurt, and after seeing Wen Xi being scared and crying directly, she was even more distressed and didn't know what to do.

After settling down on Wen Xi's side, Ji Mu glanced at Ji Ling's side from afar, and sighed silently in her heart. After all, this is the child she brought back, whether it is for this family or for Ji Ling, she has to be responsible.

Thinking of this, Ji Mu walked over to Ji Ling helplessly.

"Why did you do that just now, Wen Xi is likely to be injured if he falls like that, you know?" Ji Mu's tone was indifferent, it couldn't be said to be education or criticism.

In fact, she doesn't know what to do with this child. She didn't think about how well she could teach this child, after all, she was not her own flesh and blood. But after raising it for so long, I really spoiled it......

Ji Ling, who was on the side, didn't feel guilty about what he did just now, and said arrogantly: "I just don't want to see grandma hug her." Why is it that as soon as she comes, I can only be a foil next to me! ”

Ji Ling seemed to be still angry after speaking, and swept the tableware in front of him to the ground again. The glass cutlery fell to the ground with a splash of debris.

Seeing this, Father Ji hurriedly hugged Wen Xi and hid away a little.

It was this action that added another fire to Ji Ling's heart. She, the so-called grandfather, hasn't given herself a good face since the first day she walked in the door. is either cold-faced, or complains in front of Ji's mother that he is spoiled for his willfulness.

Ji Mu, who was standing next to the broken tableware, saw Ji Ling like this, and didn't say anything, but just looked at Ji Ling deeply. The look was complicated, but more of a disappointment.

She turned around and instructed the servant: "Ji Ling is a little excited, it's not suitable to stay here anymore, you can take her back to the room first." After speaking, he didn't bother with Ji Ling anymore.

Ji Ling glanced back unwillingly, but after all, he didn't make any more trouble, and obediently followed the servant.

The atmosphere at the dinner table couldn't be warmed up for a while, Ji Mu smiled awkwardly, tried to break the deadlock, and said: "I'm sorry, this kid was spoiled before, and he made such a ......"

Ji Mu said half of the words, but she couldn't say anything anymore, so she had to keep silent again.
