Chapter 50: The Old Man and the Passerby
Ji Chen picked up the storage bag and found that there were many rare treasures inside, and his eyes became sharp at the moment, and he secretly said that what it contained must be the heavy treasure that Park Deshuang deceived from those girls!
"Pu Deshuang, you bastard!" Ji Chen looked at Pu Deshuang's distant back and yelled, as if he was about to be furious.
But Ji Chen held back, he wanted to catch up and find trouble with Park Deshuang, but he felt that the most important thing at the moment was to eliminate the misunderstanding first and clarify this oolong, thinking that these things should also give Ji Dongfang a headache, right?
"Ji Chen, who is that, why did you run so fast?" Mu Shi couldn't help but wonder when he looked at Park Deshuang who had disappeared in a smoke.
Ji Chen naturally couldn't tell him about Park Deshuang, after all, Ji Xiaonian asked him to treat him well during this time, if he talked about Park Deshuang, it is estimated that the city will be full of storms next.
So Ji Chen hesitated for a long time, and said with a dry smile: "That, Mu Shi, I still have urgent matters, I'll leave first, I'll come and play when I have time!"
Before Mu Shi could react, Ji Chen ran away, Ji Chen let out a long breath, thinking that he had to solve this oolong incident as soon as possible.
Ji Chen's speed was very fast, and he ran to the door of the house after a while, as soon as Ji Chen walked into the house, a fiery red figure pounced over, and the fiery red figure was of course Ji Yi who was looking forward to Ji Chen day and night.
Ji Chen hugged Ji Yi, and when he saw Ji Yi's soft eyes, his mood instantly improved a lot, and I have to say that Ji Yi after becoming smaller still has the function of healing his mood.
"Xiao Yi, have you missed me these days?" Ji Chen gently stroked Ji Yi's "cat head".
"Meowβ"
Ji Chen chuckled twice, but also sighed, thinking that Ji Yi eats, drinks and has fun every day, and now he really lives like a cat, if this continues, then Ji Yi will really die of peace.
Thinking of this, he secretly decided that he must get out of the desert as soon as possible, and he wanted to take Ji Yi to the outside world to seek greater opportunities.
Then Ji Chen held Ji Yi in his arms, and walked to the hall with a storage bag in his hand, "Dad, mother, Xuan'er, I'm back!"
"Daddy......", Ji Chen just walked to the door of the hall, and stopped as soon as he shouted, because he saw that the hall was actually full of people at the moment, including Ji Kun's family, and some other people who were not impressed, and Xiao Ran was also there.
Ji Chen saw that everyone else was fine, and when he saw Ji Kun's family and Xiao Ran, he couldn't help but wonder, he really couldn't think of the intentions of these people, one had a long-term grudge with his own family, and the other had an unpleasant experience with himself, it was really strange.
He glanced over, only to see Xiao Ran look up at him and then silently lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ji Chen pursed his lips and looked at Ji Hou and Ji Lin again, who knew that these two people didn't dare to look at Ji Chen, they both lowered their heads, Ji Chen couldn't help but think of the tragic situation of the two of them when he saw the two of them, which made him snicker.
And Xiao Ran on the side saw that Ji Chen was ignoring her, and he felt very uncomfortable, and laughed at himself: "Heh, what am I hoping for?"
"How old are you, why are you still so babbling, what kind of system is it?" Ji Dongfang scolded, but he was just pretending, and then he added: "Don't you say hello to the elders soon!"
"Oh", Ji Chen walked into the hall slowly, and looked at the crowd clasping his fists and said: "Elder Ji Kun, Uncle Xiao, hello seniors, Ji Chen is polite!"
Although there were few people present who made Ji Chen like it, he could only do what Ji Dongfang commanded, so he still tried to be polite.
But as he spoke, he wondered, wondering how it was possible that these people, who hardly interacted with each other, would gather at their house today?
Thinking like this, Xiao Shan took the lead in speaking: "Hehe, Xiaochen doesn't need to be so polite, we all made a special trip to see you today." β
The people on the side also smiled to cater to Xiao Shan's words, "Yes, yes, Ji Gongzi doesn't have to be polite"
"Look at me, what do I have to look at?" Ji Chen was puzzled for a while, he looked at the people who were actually nodding to him now, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart, and he secretly said that everyone used to hide far away, but now he has taken the first place, and his attitude has changed so much!
Ji Chen had no choice but to laugh dryly: "The seniors are too uplifting boys. β
Ji Kun, who had never spoken, also smiled reluctantly at this time: "Xiaochen is modest, you won the first place this time, and our elders should come to congratulate you." β
Although Ji Kun was talking with a smile, that laughter always made Ji Chen feel a little uncomfortable, maybe he was used to Ji Kun's bitterness, and now he suddenly became "kind", which really made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Ji Chen just smiled politely when he heard this, he really didn't have a good impression of this Ji Kun and his two sons, and he also wanted to know what these people were doing here?
"Ji Gongzi is extremely talented and has extraordinary perseverance, can you tell us about your experience? β
"Hehe, it's just luck. β
"Xiaochen, what are your plans for the future, do you want to stay in the dynasty or do you want to go to the outside world?"
"Well, I'm not sure yet. β
"Brother Dongfang, my daughter has always admired Xiaochen!"
"Forehead ......"
Everyone chatted for a while, saying something that they didn't have, but most of them were praising Ji Chen's talent and how bright the future was, and they were willing to stop until they held Ji Chen to the sky.
But Ji Chen only went in and out of his right ear for these words, because he felt that it would not be their turn to say these words, and Ji Chen was very disdainful of these guys who saw the wind and steered the rudder.
Although everyone said it very sincerely, Ji Chen only echoed it perfunctorily, he stroked Ji Yi in his arms casually, and his perfunctory attitude also made everyone fall into embarrassment, only Ji Dongfang occasionally responded in order to avoid being cold.
Everyone seemed to see that Ji Chen's father and son were not welcome, but they didn't dare to say anything, because they were here to apologize and ease the relationship today, so they had to accompany the smiling face resignedly, because Ji Chen now also has the ability to be proud.
The most uncomfortable thing is Ji Kun and others, Ji Kun and Ji Dongfang already have old grudges, but now they have to sit here like a nobody, talking and laughing, it can be said how uncomfortable it is.
Ji Kun felt that Ji Chen and Ji Dongfang's unkind attitude was like sitting on pins and needles, and now not only Ji Chen is famous in the government and the opposition, but Ji Dongfang is also reused because of this, and his status has far surpassed him as an elder.
Moreover, after Dabi, Ji Changqing openly and secretly warned Ji Kun not to have any more friction and conflicts with Ji Chen's family, and asked Ji Kun to take the initiative to make concessions and try to resolve the grievances between them, so he had to come to the door with a cheeky face.
I don't know when, everyone talked about Ji Chen's past, and thought that Ji Chen would react, but Ji Chen still stroked Ji Yi in his arms expressionlessly.
Xiao Shan had no choice but to smile and say: "I said earlier that Xiaochen is a thick accumulation, and now it seems that this is really the case!"
Hearing this, Ji Chen finally spoke: "I am very grateful to Uncle Xiao for affirming me all the time!"
Ji Chen had no estrangement towards Xiao Shan in his heart, because Xiao Shan had sincerely encouraged him when he was frustrated, so his attitude when he answered was more sincere.
Xiao Shan saw that Ji Chen's attitude had finally improved, so he was ready to mention Xiao Ran's matter, wanting to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between the two, but before he could speak, Ji Chen continued:
"However, I will not pursue what some people have said and done, but I am not so easy to forget. β
Ji Chen's words were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads, his words were already very clear, he would not easily forgive those who had hurt him and hit him before.
And everyone's trip was to resolve this grievance and want to re-establish friendship with Ji Chen, but they didn't expect Ji Chen's attitude to be so resolute, and their hearts were half cold at the moment.
Seeing that everyone was speechless for a while, Ji Kun was not good at speaking again, he was afraid that if he said something wrong and annoyed this little ancestor, he would suffer.
Xiao Shan sighed heavily, but still had a glimmer of hope and said: "Ji Chenxian's nephew, I know that Ran Er has hurt you, and I don't expect you to get back together with her, I just hope that you can forgive her for her ignorance for my sake!"
Xiao Ran's heart was in turmoil at the moment, she didn't want to come today, but Xiao Shan said that he would bring her if he said anything, and it was only in this way that he seemed sincere.
But after Xiao Ran looked at Ji Chen, who was expressionless, she couldn't wait to run away immediately, she was really a little bitter in her heart, and she didn't know if it was out of guilt or remorse.
Ji Chen chuckled lightly when he heard this, turned his head to the others and asked, "You also have this purpose, do you want me to ignore my past suspicions?"
Although everyone felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, they had to nod with a dry smile, as if they were not facing a teenager, but a strong person with advanced cultivation.
"Haha", Ji Chen laughed twice and stopped looking at everyone, but stopped his eyes on Xiao Ran, and said, "Miss Xiao Ran, do you remember what I said at your house that day?"
Xiao Ran's heart shook violently when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "Of course I remember." β
Ji Chen asked again: "Then let me ask you again, have you ever swept your face in public after I won the first place in the big competition?"
"No!" Xiao Ran almost squeezed two words out of his teeth.
But Ji Chen still said calmly: "That is my last kindness to you, and I hope you can learn a lesson from me, how can those who have aspirations spend their lives?"
Xiao Ran's body trembled when she heard this, her hands and feet were cold, as if she had fallen into a cold ice cellar, Ji Chen's words were like a cold winter wind, blowing away her past arrogance and waking up her dream that she didn't want to wake up.
"Nian Zai was born in the Sixiang Dynasty, I don't care about the past with you, in the future, I will be an old man and a passerby!"
After Ji Chen finished speaking, he turned around and left, although there were still many people in the hall at the moment, Ji Chen didn't want to stay any longer.
"Ji boy, do a good job, sometimes people have to be decisive", Yuxi said leisurely at the moment.
"Heh, I just did what I thought was right", Ji Chen replied lightly, his heart seemed to have no fetters at this moment, and all the things in the past were really written off just now.
Seeing this, Ji Dongfang did not blame Ji Chen, but said to everyone: "Everyone, I think you all understand what my son meant, then please go back!"
"Alas", everyone sighed, although they had no choice but to leave.
Xiao Ran took one last look at the direction in which Ji Chen disappeared, she seemed to understand something at this moment, and left gloomily with Xiao Shan after a while.
