Chapter 24: Are you coming for a drink?

Ji Zhilan panicked for a moment.

She didn't want Jiang's mother to interfere with her affairs, but she didn't want to make Jiang's mother angry.

Besides, why are you scolding her?

She stretched out her hand to help Jiang's mother, but Jiang's mother dodged her intentionally or unknowingly, "I'm such an old person, so good at doing bad things! I might as well just die..."

Just at this moment, the servant came back and went to the kitchen after hearing the noise, “What's wrong, madam?"

She glanced left and right, "What's wrong, ma'am?"

Ji Zhilan was depressed, since he didn't want her to help him, just forget it.

"It's okay. Please help Madam down and rest. The old lady has a headache." She said calmly, and her mother didn't want to scream anymore.

"Okay ma'am."

After the people left, Ji Zhilan looked at the pot of chicken soup and lost half of his appetite.

She lay alone in the room for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. When had she ever felt so angry?

No one called Ji Zhilan at dinner in the evening.

The servant wanted to go to the room to ask Ji Zhilan to eat, but was stopped by Jiang's mother, “My daughter-in-law has a bad appetite, so don't call her tonight. I'll prepare it if you're hungry. You go and rest."

The servant was naturally happy to rest for a while, so he nodded hesitantly, “Thank you for your hard work, madam. If you need anything, call me again."

Jiang's mother ate half the pot of chicken soup by herself, leaving the remaining half for her son who came back in the evening.

When Jiang Cheng arrived home, the lights were still on and Ji Zhilan's back was turned to him.

"Honey, what's wrong? Mom told me that she had a fight with you today, right?" He sat on the edge of the bed and straightened the woman's body.

Ji Zhilan rolled her eyes without moving, "How dare I argue with your mother? She's about to faint before I even speak."

"Oh my wife, you know that my mother is not in good health. She raised me through all kinds of hardships, and my body has suffered from a lot of diseases. She just has a bad mouth, but she still cares about you in her heart. You see, this is what she asked me to give you. I brought the durian, didn't you say you wanted to eat this this morning?" Jiang Cheng held up the bag.

Ji Zhilan was finally willing to turn around and look at him, "Did your mother really ask you to take it?"

"How can this be false?" He chuckled, "Honey, just wait, I'll peel it off for you."

Ji Zhilan didn't eat at night and was hungry now. The durian smelled bad to her, but she felt very comfortable with it. She couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiang Cheng pinching his nose and trying to carry the durian to her.

"Then go quickly."

After finally coaxing Ji Zhilan to sleep at night, Jiang Cheng came to Jiang's mother's room.

Jiang's mother was awake and waiting for him, "Asleep?"

"Asleep," he closed the door.

"Mom, why do you insist on touching that pot of chicken soup? We have money now. If you want to eat chicken, I will buy it for you tomorrow. Why make her unhappy? She is still pregnant with your grandson. Woolen cloth."

"I did it just for her own good. That chicken soup is so nutritious, and she's so picky about it."

Jiang Cheng held his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, we have to coax Ji Zhilan now, do you understand? She has money, and I don't believe that the Ji family didn't give her money when she got married. Let's eat her food and use hers now, be nice to her No harm.”

Jiang's mother always listens to her son's words, and her son has the most ideas. Since her son said so, she nodded, “Okay, isn't it just coaxing? Your mother and I can do it too."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mom."

…

As soon as the New Year was over, Lu Cong became so distraught that he quickly fled the Lu family, away from his sister's nagging.

Seattle.

When the waiter saw him, he smiled broadly and said, "Third Master Lu."

Lu Cong raised his eyebrows, "Do you have a good position today? Lead the way."

"If Third Young Master Lu comes, I'll have to make room for you even if there's not a good seat."

These words sounded comfortable, and Lu Cong grinned, "Is your boss here?"

The waiter shook his head, "Mr. Chang hasn't been here for several days. I heard he took his wife to see the Aurora."

Lu Cong said "tsk", "It's quite romantic. I'll bring a younger sister with me next time."

The waiter smiled, thinking that he was indeed a love butterfly. He took him to his seat and said, "Young Master Lu, please sit down first and I'll get you some wine."

Lu Cong nodded, took out two and gave them to him, "These are for you."

"Thank you, Third Young Master!"

The bar was particularly lively tonight, and the music was loud. Lu Cong crossed his legs and threw the peanuts upwards, and then caught them in his mouth accurately.

Being alone is boring, but Chang Qin is not here. Lu Cong smacked his lips and called Ji Zhixiu.

"Say," the man's cold voice sounded.

"Xiu Xiu, you are so indifferent." Lu Cong said while getting goosebumps himself.

Ji Zhixiu put one hand in his pocket and looked at the people downstairs in the company who were as small as ants, "If you don't tell me, I will die."

"No, no, no, are you coming for a drink? I'm in Seattle." Lu Cong called him hurriedly.

"Wait."

He grabbed his coat from the sofa.

Lu Cong smiled and said, "It's better for you. I'll wait for you."

Soon, Ji Zhixiu arrived.

"Happy New Year, Brother Xiu."

The two of them have never met during the Chinese New Year. Lu Cong is a junior, so naturally he goes to Ji's house to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Ji.

Ji Zhixiu and his peers, although they did not go to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings, they did send New Year's gifts.

This was the first time the two met after years.

Ji Zhixiu glanced at him condescendingly, "You just said this after the New Year?"

He sat down and asked, "What did you want to say when you came to me?"

Lu Cong smiled, "Sure enough, you still understand me."

"I seem to have fallen in love with someone."

This was strange. Ji Zhixiu raised his eyes and said, "Continue."

"I'm not sure. After all, you know that I like everyone."

Ji Zhixiu commented, “Sentimental and philanthropic."

"How can this be affectionate? I like whoever treats me well and likes me. My mother, my father, my sister, you, Chang Qin, I like them all."

"..." Ji Zhixiu leaned back, "Love is different from these."

"Why is it different? Come on, tell me." Lu Lai became interested.

Ji Zhixiu's eyes moved, as if he was thinking, with a focused expression, "Like in love is to want to get her and be with her."

"You may even have some despicable thoughts." His voice was so low that Lu never heard it clearly.

Ji Zhixiu didn't expect him to understand, "So, who do you like?"

Lu Congding looked at him with a dazed expression.

Ji Zhixiu frowned, "What do you mean by looking at me? I'm a straight man, and I wouldn't like you if I wasn't straight."

Lu Cong almost spit out his drink, "Who likes you?"

Ji Zhixiu thought, "You don't like Ji Zhilan, do you?"

Lu never spoke.

He guessed it correctly, but he didn't see why Lu Cong liked Ji Zhilan. Ji Zhixiu looked at him, "Are you sure you really like Ji Zhilan?"

Lu Cong smiled bitterly, "Brother Xiu, you really don't regard me as a brother. You didn't even tell me when Zhilan got married."

Ji Zhixiu was startled, "There's nothing to say. Pregnancy before marriage is not honorable."

Lu Cong was shocked, "In my heart, she is still a little sister wearing a princess dress. Is she going to be a mother now?"

"How did you know she was married?" Ji Zhixiu asked.

"One day I met her when I was in the supermarket. I heard her calling the man next to her husband. They were buying things for the house together."

"What do you like about her?" Although she is a biological sister, Ji Zhixiu is still confused.

"I don't know either. I just know that she is a little disappointed after getting married. When she was a child, she said she wanted to marry me as a bride?" Lu Cong said.

"What does this have to do with whether you like her or not? If you really like her, shouldn't you want to get her back? Try to fight for her? And I haven't seen you chasing Zhilan before." Ji Zhixiu said.

After hearing what he said, Lu Cong felt the same.

"Maybe it's not like it," he denied.

"Actually, it's not that uncomfortable. I'm just a little sad. The little girl who followed us when we were young actually got married without saying a word." Lu Cong said sadly.

"..." Ji Zhixiu said nothing.

"I also gave her some money and a card." Lu Cong said.

Ji Zhixiu frowned slightly when he heard this, "No need."

Ji Zhilan's marriage is destined not to last long, and the gift is in vain.

"Are you my brother? Why do you say that?"

"That husband of hers is not a good person."

In front of Lu Cong, Ji Zhixiu told the truth.

Lu Cong raised his glass and said, "No matter what, I still wish our little sister the best and hope she is happy. Oh Brother Xiu, when you say that, I feel like I really don't like it."

Lu Cong felt a little lucky to have survived the disaster, "I don't want to get involved in love. It's great to be able to do whatever you want."

Ji Zhixiu said in a deep voice, "I'll know when I meet you later."

After complaining about his bitterness, Lu Cong felt refreshed. "Brother Xiu, a wise man never falls in love, come and cheers."

Ji Zhixiu chuckled, "Cheers."

He could already tell that Lu Cong was a little drunk. He drank one cup after another while talking. It seemed that he had been suffocating during this period.

In fact, Lu Cong's drinking capacity is very good, but no matter how good he is, he can't keep up with drinking one glass after another.

Finally, Lu Cong fell unconscious, still muttering, “One more drink..."

Ji Zhixiu stood up, called two waiters and ordered, “Send the third young master to the room upstairs."

There was a room on the second floor for resting. Chang Qin reserved an exclusive room for them, and the two of them took the landing upstairs.

Lu Cong is quite well-behaved and doesn't make a fuss when he's drunk.

Somehow, Ji Zhixiu suddenly remembered the night when Jiang Mian was drunk.

Jiang Mian, who is drunk and crazy, is really cute. A smile quickly flashed across Ji Zhixiu's eyes. He was distracted and wondered, was she asleep at this time?

I haven’t seen him for a day, but I miss him so much.

"Mr. Ji, the person has been delivered, shall we go down?" the waiter asked him, interrupting his thoughts.

Ji Zhixiu nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."

Ji Zhixiu also wanted to leave. He turned around and was about to leave. As soon as he turned around, Lu Cong grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Honey, don't go."

Ji Zhixiu sneered, "Are you dreaming so soon?"

He pulled forward hard, but it didn't move at all.

Too lazy to open his hand, after thinking for a second, Ji Zhixiu decisively took off his sweater and said, "I'll hold it for you. Remember to pay later."

Lu Cong didn't realize it, contentedly hugging the sweater and sleeping soundly.
