The day she married her ex-sister-in-law

Chapter 8

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ji Zhai.

Today, the family has not sat down to eat together for a long time.

Ji Hongchen came down from upstairs and took a seat at the head of the table, Ji Rong took the initiative to take a bowl of hot soup and put it in front of his father.

Since returning to Ji's family, Ji Rong's pampered personality has changed a lot when she was a child, but when attending various gatherings outside and facing various wealthy wives, Ji Rong's status as the only daughter of Ji's family will naturally make her still proudly rely on her. things.

But when she went home and faced Ji Hongchen, Ji Rong would feel terrified, because every time she saw her father, Ji Rong would think that she had disobeyed her father's orders twice in her life, and it was these two times that caused the relationship between father and daughter to deteriorate. further away.Once they eloped with their ex-husbands; once they remarried with their current husbands.

Ji Rong looked up at Ji Hongchen's face, and asked cautiously, "Dad, are you in good health recently?"

Ji Hongchen nodded coldly, "It's okay, you all eat. You live far away from here, go back to rest early after eating."

Lin Shujun next to Ji Rong responded with a smile: "Good dad, you usually pay more attention to your body."

"Yeah." Ji Hongchen nodded lightly, his eyes passed Lin Zhipei who was eating quietly next to Lin Shujun, and he looked away without saying anything.

Ji Hongchen still needs to take medicine for rehabilitation now, and his appetite is not very good every day. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, he put down his chopsticks.

Turning his head to see that Lin Leyao's bowl had few grains of rice and few pieces of meat, Ji Hongchen was a little worried, "Eat more meat, how much meat do you think you have?"

"He's a celebrity, and going on TV will make him look fat and ugly, so he has to maintain his figure." After going back to the old house, Ji Rong wanted to talk to her father, but she never liked Lin Leyao's work in the entertainment industry. At this time, the tone of his speech was also sour.

Ji Rong said this kind of words more than once, Lin Leyao had heard it all before, but today it was beyond Ji Rong's expectation.

Hearing this, Lin Leyao put down her chopsticks and looked up at Ji Rong, "Mom, you're wrong, our actors change their postures according to the characters in the script, not what you said to keep their bodies for good looks, maybe some actors do, but I am not."

Unexpectedly, Lin Leyao suddenly retorted, Ji Rong's expression changed several times and became very ugly.

Lin Leyao continued to retort: ​​"I hope that when Mom criticizes my job in the future, I already have a job, otherwise every time you criticize my job, it will be really difficult to convince the public."

"Is that how you talked to me?" Ji Rong was aroused by Lin Leyao's words, and regardless of Ji Hongchen's presence at the scene, she stared at Lin Leyao angrily and said, "When you applied for the film school, I told you not to Go, who is the child of a serious family who wants to be a star? Every day, he swayed on the big screen and let others point and comment! After you became an actor, people on Weibo scolded your parents and eighteen generations of your ancestors every day. When have people in our family been scolded like this in this life? The wives and ladies I went to other people's homes didn't know that the female star Lin Leyao on TV was a child of our Ji family. They only knew that she was a female star with a bad reputation. Saying this Lin Leyao is not a good thing. You have so many rumors about you, how can you let me go out and face those ladies?"

"enough!"

"Why isn't it a serious job?"

Ji Hongchen's scolding voice and Lin Leyao's voice sounded at the same time.

Lin Leyao replied with a cold voice: "The daughter of the Rongchang Technologist and the son of the Maosen Group have both entered the entertainment industry. Aren't they the children of serious families?"

"Because they are the second and third children in the family! There are capable big sisters and big brothers on top, and the family company doesn't need them at all, so no one will care if they become stars! You are the only child of our Ji family, can I not Do you care?"

Ji Rong's last words slammed on the table like a heavy hammer, and the two of them continued to stalemate.

Lin Zhipei, who was quietly listening to the two sides' arguments, became stiff, but at this time, everyone's eyes were not on her, and no one paid attention to her strangeness.

"So you think I should apply for a finance major in college, work in a company after graduation, and then follow your arrangement to marry someone when I grow up?"

"I don't object to you learning acting. You like to have teachers at home to teach you and train you, but you should treat these as hobbies, not a career for lifelong development. Do you think you are extremely talented and can become an artist?"

Lin Leyao asked coldly: "I learned acting from freshman year to today, and you actively help some people learn oil painting. Do you think they can become great artists, or is it because they are not your own children that you don't care about others? Doesn't matter?"

Ji Rong was stimulated and immediately stood up, "Lin Leyao! Peipei is your sister!" Lin Zhipei was studying oil painting.

Seeing Ji Rong's furious look as if she had been stabbed seven inches, Lin Leyao replied flatly: "I know, I didn't mention her name."

"Okay!" Ji Hongchen said again, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two.

"Yaoyao go back to her room to rest, you follow me to the study." After Ji Hongchen ordered the two arguing, they went upstairs first, Lin Leyao turned his head and followed upstairs without any hesitation.

Before Ji Rong went upstairs, she walked up to Lin Zhipei who had been sitting at the dining table, and explained softly: "Peipei, mom has never thought about it this way—"

"I know, Mom." Before Ji Rong finished speaking, Lin Zhipei showed a big smile on his face, watching Ji Rong with a pair of innocent almond eyes and comforting her.

"Okay." Ji Rong nodded absent-mindedly, "It's good that you know, mom goes up first, and you continue to eat."

After the three of them went upstairs one after another, only Lin Shujun and Lin Zhipei were left at the lively dining table.

Lin Shujun took a piece of rabbit and put it in Lin Zhipei's bowl, and said, "Your mother didn't mean that, so don't think about it."

"En." Lin Zhipei's body, which had been tense all the time, relaxed and hunched slightly after the body was gone.

She glanced at the diced rabbit in the bowl, thinking that after more than 20 years, her father still didn't know that she didn't eat rabbit meat.That's right, a father who doesn't care about anything, what can he remember?

Tomorrow Friday, it's time to visit again——

I don't know what came to mind, Lin Zhipei's face at this time was completely devoid of the cute look that he usually showed to outsiders, and looked very gloomy.

Lin Shujun was naturally insensitive and didn't notice anything. His wife and stepdaughter were arguing. At this time, his father-in-law asked them to go upstairs to talk. Lin Shujun was still able to eat at this time.

While eating by himself, he kept picking up food for Lin Zhipei, but Lin Zhipei never moved her chopsticks. In order to maintain her current emaciated appearance, she hadn't had a full meal for many years.

Upstairs, Ji Hongchen called Ji Rong into the study room and scolded her severely, probably because it was the first time Lin Leyao talked back to him so forcefully, Ji Rong didn't bear it silently and argued with his father.

"Dad! You saw the way she talked to me today! Is this the way she talks to elders?!"

"At the beginning you were going to elope with someone, and later you remarried this Lin Shujun. Did you have a better attitude when talking to me, an elder? Yaoyao's meaning is also very clear. You pick her job every day, but why do you have to be picky? You You are over 40 and still rely on the money I earn to support your family!"

"Dad!" Ji Rong's face turned red when she was told, "Do you know that after she became a celebrity, it was said on the Internet that she was taken care of by this person, and there were many rumors about being that person's mistress! In front of me, I said that this female star has a bad reputation. Hearing them say that my daughter is not good, who can understand the unspeakable feelings I felt at that time?!"

Ji Hongchen slammed the table hard, "So when others say bad things about your daughter in front of you, you can only feel unspeakable? As a mother, why didn't you tell them loudly that Lin Leyao is not what they said! Why didn't you speak for yourself? Daughter to refute rumors? Why don't you protect your daughter, but let others scold your child in front of you?"

Ji Rong didn't listen to Ji Hongchen's words in her heart, and listened to the tone of continuous questioning, she stuck her neck and retorted, "Dad! You just protect her like this? If you go on, she will be lawless!"

Ji Hongchen's face was flushed red with anger, and he was trembling with anger when he pointed at her, "I don't think you listened to any of the words Yaoyao said! You can let your stepdaughter learn oil painting and run around for her every day." Let's go, why do you object to your own daughter learning to act? You have been so tolerant to your stepdaughter for so many years, why have you been pressing on your own daughter? She is your daughter, you can't rely on your blood relationship everywhere Force her!"

Ji Rong was speechless by Ji Hongchen's fierce words, she muttered for a while, and Ji Hongchen waved his hand to stop what she wanted to say.

"I often regret that I spoiled you too much when I was a child, and made you a selfish character, whether it is to your parents or your daughter. You think Yaoyao has a bad attitude when talking to you, then have you never Have you reflected on the reason yourself? Do you really not know what is the root cause of what she said?"

After saying this sentence, Ji Hongchen showed a tired look on his face, he waved his hand to let Ji Rong leave.

Ji Hongchen sat in the study for a long time, thinking that the current relationship in the family has gradually become what it is now after his daughter chose to remarry Lin Leyao's uncle and his younger brother-in-law.

Lin Leyao on the other side was stunned for a long time after returning to the bedroom.

She asked Ji Rong downstairs if she didn't care about learning oil painting because Lin Zhipei was not her own.The reason why she asked this question was because Lin Leyao knew that it was not that Ji Rong didn't care, but that she cared very much about this stepdaughter.

For so many years, Ji Rong has tried every means to make this stepdaughter feel that her stepmother treats her like her own, so Lin Zhipei will support Ji Rong in whatever she does and will pave the way for her.

Lin Zhipei started studying art in the third year of junior high school. Ji Rong, under the banner of her grandfather, asked a domestic oil painting master to accept Lin Zhipei as his apprentice.In order to cultivate Lin Zhipei's artistic atmosphere, she takes Lin Zhipei to various art exhibitions around the world every holiday.

Ji Rong's actions were praised by outsiders, who felt that she was really a selfless stepmother who loved her children as if they were their own.Putting it on the Internet, her deeds will definitely be spread and praised by various marketing accounts as a model of true love in the world. No one has thought about what her own daughter will do in this situation.

Ji Rong is a well-deserved selfless stepmother. Because she was afraid that Lin Zhipei would feel wronged, she gave Lin Zhipei a lot of love. Although she claimed to be fair, she would buy two identical gifts for her two children every time, but in other respects , her intentional tolerance towards Lin Zhipei has subtly turned into partiality.

Lin Zhipei has a biological father, and her biological mother is still there, and now she has a selfless stepmother who loves her, but she no longer has a father, and her biological mother has to give half of the love that originally belonged to her to others.

Lin Leyao cared very much when she was a child, because as long as two people made mistakes, Ji Rong would often criticize Lin Leyao severely, but when facing Lin Zhipei, she was calm and reasonable.The adults couldn't notice it, but this huge gap had a huge impact on Lin Leyao's young mind, but at that time she had already learned the adults' "speak less" and "silence".

Lin Leyao's stepfather, Lin Shujun, is the younger brother of Ji Rong's husband. After her husband died, Lin Shujun divorced because of his wife's intermittent mental illness. Ji Rong and Lin Shujun remarried within a year.

Ji Rong didn't know how many rumors had spread outside after she remarried with her brother-in-law.

Those wealthy wives were polite to Ji Rong on the surface, but secretly said that Ji Rong was indiscreet and had an affair with her brother-in-law before her husband died;Rumors spread from adults to children. Lin Leyao hadn't been brought back to Ji's house for a long time, and she didn't have many friends around her. She was bullied a lot in private schools where there were many children from rich families.

Ji Rong didn't realize this. After remarrying, she paid only half as much attention to Lin Leyao as before, and spent the rest of her time on her stepdaughter. She cared too much about Lin Leyao. As for her, she didn't notice anything strange about Lin Leyao at all.

Finally, one day, Lin Leyao ran out after being sent to the school by the driver. The school teacher contacted Ji Zhai after finding out that the student was not there. It was Ji Hongchen who first discovered the abnormality and transferred Lin Leyao to another school.

Ji Hongchen became very angry about this, and asked their remarried and reorganized family of three to move out to live outside. Ji Rong left the old house and spent less time with Lin Leyao.

Ji Rong also took Lin Zhipei back to the old house, took Lin Leyao's hand and asked her gently if she would like to go out and live with her mother, so that she could play with her sister at ordinary times, and she would have someone to accompany her when she went to school. .

Lin Leyao looked down at the slender Lin Zhipei, she was born with a pair of almond eyes, and the expression on her face was always harmless to humans and animals.Lin Leyao will always remember that the day before she ran out of school, she stood not far away and watched indifferently.

Lin Leyao refused to go out to live with Ji Rong, and stayed in Ji's residence until she grew up.

After this incident happened, Ji Hongchen thought a lot. After transferring Lin Leyao to another school, she also strictly protected her information. In the new school, no one knew that she was a child of Ji's family. , Ji Rong usually only took Lin Zhipei out, so these rich people in the circle only got to know Lin Leyao in the year she was taken home, and then they didn't know what Lin Leyao looked like at all.

Lin Leyao was still stuck in memories, when suddenly, the phone vibrated, and someone sent a WeChat message.

Xin Ying: [Have you rested? 】

Seeing the message, Lin Leyao's heart, which has been entangled with memories and clenched tightly, relaxes.

She edited two words and sent them over.

【No. 】

Looking at the chat interface, Lin Leyao held the phone and fell into thought.Many people don't know who Ji Hongchen's granddaughter is, what she looks like, and why did the Xin family take the initiative to marry?
