Chapter 172: Family?
The next day, Ji Xiao and Ji Changbing went out together.
Mu Dingyi has already left, but he has promised Ji Xiao that he will find a place to live for the time being, and he will not show up.
Ji Xiao didn't know where he would find a place to live, but she expected that Mu Dingyi had been wandering outside for more than a year, and he must have his own experience, so she didn't need to worry about it.
With the address given to her by Xingyun, Ji Xiao and the two finally stopped outside a vast garden.
Although European-style gardens are the most common buildings in the Emperor, they are actually not cheap, and only people from good families can afford to live in them. Ji Xiao didn't expect his parents to live in such a place, and his face sank again.
Life is so good, do you dare to say that there is any hardship?
Ji Changbing had already rang the doorbell at this time, his expression was slightly apprehensive, and he repeatedly pulled his clothes to make himself look more energetic.
After a while, a deep male voice came from the intercom on the door, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Ji Changbing shook suddenly, it was his son's voice, he would never forget it for the rest of his life, this was his son's voice.
He resisted his excitement and asked, "Yes...... Is it Afan? ”
There was silence for a while, and then said, "You are in the wrong place, there is no one named Afan here." Immediately, I heard the blind sound of "Dididi" coming from the walkie-talkie, and it was obvious that it had hung up.
Ji Changbing's face was dazed, as if he didn't know what was going on. Ji Xiao was angry in his heart, so he simply walked over and rang the doorbell again, "Didi Di Di" kept pressing, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on the doorbell.
The other side was quickly connected again, Ji Xiao didn't give the other party a chance to speak at all, and said angrily: "Ji Bufan, I know it's you, and I also know that you can see us, do you dare to say that you don't know the old man next to me?" You'd better open the door within a minute, or I'll go straight to your boss. ”
"You don't have to doubt me, since I can find out where you live, I can naturally find out where you work."
The words fell, but I heard a blind voice from it again, but Ji Xiao didn't move, if she, a cheap father, still wanted to live in such a good house, and the job must not be lost, then it would definitely come out.
A minute passed, the door was finally opened, and a fashionably dressed woman walked out, this woman looked no more than thirty years old, and she was good-looking, but she had at least fifty percent of Ji Xiao's imagination,
"Yingying." As soon as he saw the woman, Ji Changbing immediately called out, but his face was no longer the apprehension and excitement he had come.
Liu Yuying looked very embarrassed, looked at Ji Xiao, her eyes fell on Ji Changbing again, and whispered, "Dad, why are you here?" ”
A "Dad" finally broke Ji Xiao's remaining hope, how much she hoped at this moment that she was really looking for the wrong place, in this way, the other party's indifference could also have a reasonable explanation.
At this moment, Ji Changbing didn't show pain, his expression was serious, "What about Ji Bufan, why didn't he come out?" ”
"Dad, be quiet." Liu Yuying hurriedly closed the door, walked outside and whispered: "Mr. Hu of Afan's company came to the house today, if Mr. Hu knows about this, Afan will not be promoted." ”
Ah Fan has followed Mr. Hu for many years, isn't it just for such a day? It looks like you're about to succeed, but don't fall short at this time.
She touched her body, and then remembered that she didn't bring money out, so she said: "Dad, wait a minute, I'll go in first to get you some money, you go outside to find a hotel to live in, and as soon as Mr. Hu leaves, I will pick you up with Afan." ”
Ji Changbing laughed angrily, "Are you treating me like a meal?" ”
Take some money? Staying in a hotel? She can tell.
Although he is not uncommon to enter this house, his daughter-in-law has not even mentioned it since they met, which still makes him extremely cold. He finally understood, Xiaoxiao's guess all along was correct, and he was still stupid to make excuses for them.
Ji Xiao walked over and grabbed Ji Changbing's arm, and looked coldly at the woman in front of her who was very similar to her, "You don't have to be busy, we didn't come to join you, we just need an answer, and we'll leave if you say it." ”
I told myself a long time ago, being a stranger is, why does she still feel uncomfortable with tightness in her chest?
Liu Yuying's eyes fell on Xiaoxiao, a touch of complexity flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled reluctantly: "This is Xiaoxiao, right?" She suddenly untied the string of white jade pearl bracelets she was carrying on her wrist and handed it to Ji Xiaodao: "I know you blame me, but your life is not easy, and it can be worth a lot of money if you sell this bracelet." ”
Don't get along with money, that's what you mean?
Ji Xiao laughed angrily, took the bracelet and looked at the sun carefully, "The condition is good, at least it must be worth tens of thousands, right?" ”
"When I bought it, I bought it for 98,000, and now I can sell it for 30,000 or 40,000." Liu Yuying didn't know if she didn't hear Ji Xiao's tone, or if she deliberately showed off and said the price clearly.
She is not a fool, of course she knows that the two have grievances, but what if they have grievances? The old man has always been a medicine jar, and he doesn't know how much money to send to the hospital for a year, so it stands to reason that the old man should have hung up a long time ago, but seeing that he is still alive and well, he knows that it has cost a lot to think about it with his toes.
Based on the situation at home, I guess I borrowed a lot of money, right? Although a necklace is not enough to pay off debts, it can also make them easy for a while.
Seeing that Ji Xiao was playing with the bracelet and stopped talking, Liu Yuying was slightly happy, and she made persistent efforts and said: "Don't worry, this is just for you to wear and play, look at you, you are all big girls and there is no jewelry on them, how shabby it is, you can't marry in the future." ”
The voice of her broken thoughts was like a kind mother, if it weren't for the fact that they were still standing on the side of the street, Ji Xiao was afraid that she would think that this was really the mother she had dreamed of countless times.
She looked at the sky and said, "Mr. Hu should be coming out soon, or you should go to the side to avoid it, and you will come back when he is gone." ”
Ji Xiao was sad in her heart, this is her mother, is she and her grandfather inseparable?
"No need to ......" As soon as Ji Xiao's words came out, he heard the door open again, and two men walked out one after the other, the man in front of him had a big belly and a majestic face, and he looked like he was in a high position. The man in the back looked handsome and had a bookish anger, but the flattering smile on his face destroyed this breath.
"Hey, Yuying, why are you standing here?" When the pot-bellied man saw Liu Yuying, he asked in surprise, and then his eyes fell on Ji Xiao and the others, "Who are these two?" ”
As if he was afraid that Ji Xiao and Ji Changbing would speak, Ji Bufan hurriedly preemptively said: "It's a distant relative I just told you about, and I want to come over and run for a while." ”
Just now, Ji Xiao yelled on the walkie-talkie on the door, obviously bumped into by Mr. Hu, and Ji Bufan had no choice but to explain.
Mr. Hu frowned when he heard this, "It's the first time I've seen such an impolite relative, and I'm still so high up when I come to join others, why do I keep such a relative?" ”
