Ji Ziang fell silent.
Qi Huanhuan looked at him and fell silent.
âIf you agree,â he finally said, âMy parents will be returning to S City soon. Pick a date when your parents are free. Letâs settle the marriage.â
Qi Huanhuan did not speak for a long time. She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes gradually turning red.
âHuanhuan, Iâm sorry. Iâ¦â Ji Ziâang stepped forward and wanted to touch Qi Huanhuanâs face.
However, before his hand could touch Qi Huanhuanâs face, she brushed it away.
Her eyes were red as she waited for Ji Ziâang. Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. âJi Ziâang, arenât you too arrogant? What makes you think that Iâll turn around if you wave your hand? You knew that I wanted to get married, but you avoided talking about it and found all kinds of excuses to drag me along. Now that I donât want to marry you, youâre using this to coax me again?â
Qi Huanhuan turned around and ran to the door. She opened it, then came back and pulled Ji Ziâangâs arm out.
Ji Ziâang did not dare to use too much force, afraid that he would hurt her, so he could only be pushed out of the door bit by bit.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.
He did not care and tried his best to explain to Qi Huanhuan, âItâs not what you think. Itâs not that I donât care about you, and Iâm not dragging you down on purpose. I⦠Back thenâ¦â
âDonât use the past to brush me off. If you have a shadow over women because of this, then you shouldnât be in a relationship with me.â Qi Huanhuan interrupted him. âWhy didnât you think of the past when you were in love? When it was time to get married, you thought of the past. You enjoyed my kindness and used this as an excuse not to marry me. Ji Ziang, arenât you disgusting?â
Ji Ziang was speechless.
Qi Huanhuan was partially right. He did not want to get married.
However, he had never thought of breaking up with Qi Huanhuan.
At that time, he thought that it would be good to maintain the status quo for the rest of his life. He would not mistreat Qi Huanhuan.
However, after Qi Huanhuan left, he realized that Qi Huanhuan was different from him.
He knew that he was not a good man. Compared to his Big Brother and Mucheng, they were like heaven and earth.
However, humans were selfish.
He still wanted to fight for himself. If possible, he would do his best to treat Qi Huanhuan well for the rest of his life.
The phone in his pocket kept ringing, stopping and ringing again and again.
Obviously, the other party had something urgent to discuss with him.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from his Big Brother.
Big Brother had always been a man of propriety. If it wasnât an emergency, he wouldnât have called one after another.
âHuanhuan, wait a moment. Iâll take⦠the call.â
Before Ji Ziâang could finish his sentence, Qi Huanhuan quickly closed the door.
Ji Ziâang looked up and glanced at his phone.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he still picked up the phone.
âHeâs dead.â Ji Zixuan blurted out.
âWho is it?â Ji Ziâang was confused and did not react. âWho died?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âJi Jianguo!â Ji Zixuan was silent for a few seconds before muttering the name.
âWhatâs going on?â Ji Ziâangâs expression turned serious. He turned and stood in front of the window at the staircase. âWhatâs going on?â
âHe came to my school to cause trouble. After he left, I donât know what happened at the school gate. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but he couldnât be saved.â In a low voice, Ji Zixuan told his son what had happened in a few words.
âHe deserves it!â Ji Ziang gritted his teeth. After a while, he squeezed out three words.
The two brothers were silent.
After a long silence, he asked, âGraveyard⦠Iâll look for it. Do you want to come over?â
Wang Meiling and Qiu Kai probably wouldnât pay for it.
Even if they did, the mother and son would use this matter to find trouble with them.
No matter how many grudges they had with that person, the debt would be cleared with his death.
He had given them life so they would give him a burial place.
This time, he was silent for a long time, so long that Ji Zixuan thought he would not speak again.
Just as he was about to hang up, he said, âIâm in S City now. Bring his ashes back. Iâll contact the Ji family.â
âIâll bring the ashes over after the cremation,â he replied softly.
After hanging up, he looked up and sighed.
A moment later, he returned to Qi Huanhuanâs house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. âHuanhuan, I have something to do. Iâll look for you again tonight.â
Inside the house, Qi Huanhuan was standing behind the door.
Naturally, she had heard what Ji Ziâang had said just now.
âWho passed away?â she asked.
âJi Jianguo, I have to contact the Ji family now. Iâll call you in advance tonight. If itâs too late, Iâll come over tomorrow morning.â
âDonât come. I wonât see you. Iâve already made it very clear.â Qi Huanhuan blurted out.
However, her tone was still a little softer than before.
Ji Ziâang asked as if he had not heard Qi Huanhuanâs words. âSay, he made such a farce but ended up with such fate. What do you think heâs up to?â
Yeah, what was he after?At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan, who was far away in B City, was also considering this problem.
âIf he is obedient and sincerely repenting. Although we wonât donate a kidney to him, if he can find a suitable kidney, maybe Iâll pay for it.â Ji Yuanyuan mumbled as she leaned against Qin Muchengâs chest.
After all, he was her biological father, who was related to her by blood. Ji Yuanyuanâs thoughts were in a mess when she learned of his death.
âWhy did he have to stir up trouble so that everyone would not be at peace? Itâs not dignified at all.â
Qin Mucheng hugged her thin body and held her hands with both hands. âIf you want to go back to S City, Iâll go with you.â
âNo, Iâm not going.â Ji Yuanyuan shook her head.
Before he died, he had begged Big Brother and threatened Second Brother. However, Ji Jianguo only cursed at her.
In his heart, she had always been a worthless âmoney-losing goodâ.
Qin Mucheng did not say anything else. He turned his head and gently kissed Ji Yuanyuanâs forehead.
Ji Jianguo was dead. Wang Meiling and Qiu Kai panicked.
They no longer had an excuse to ask the siblings for money. Besides, they also needed money to settle Ji Jianguoâs funeral.
Therefore, that afternoon, the mother and son were so scared that they disappeared. No one knew where they hid.
Ji Ziâang contacted Ji Jianjun in S City.
Ji Jianjun was now an old man with a head full of white hair. Living in the countryside, he aged faster than his peers.
Upon hearing the news of Ji Jianguoâs death, Ji Jianjunâs tears immediately flowed out. He held Ji Ziangâs hand and exhorted, âZiâang, you must let your father return to his roots. His roots are in our Ji Jiawanâ¦â
Looking at Ji Jianjunâs expression, Ji Ziâang felt a little emotional.
Ji Jianjun was probably the only person in the world who could still cry for Ji Jianguoâs death, right?
