After a period of recuperation, Ji Beichen's injury was almost healed.

But grandpa still doesn't let him work too hard. He won't go back to the company if he can. Meetings can be held online and documents can be sent over.

Qiao Yue rarely goes out except for busy work in the store. She tries her best to supervise Ji Beichen at home and prevent him from being too tired.

No, as soon as Ji Beichen finished an online meeting, Qiao Yue pulled him up and said, "Let's go for a walk in the garden downstairs and stretch our muscles."

Ji Beichen was too lazy to move, "Can't I just lie down and rest here?"

Qiao Yue said seriously, "The doctor said that you need to exercise appropriately, just don't raise your arms."

Ji Beichen: "Forget it, I'd better stay upstairs."

Qiao Yue pouted, "Don't you want to get better soon? If this continues, when will your arm get better?"

When Ji Beichen saw that his wife was about to get angry, he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, I will listen to you, let's go."

Qiao Yue muttered, "You must make me angry."

The two went downstairs arm in arm.

In the small garden, my brother is playing tennis with his father.

Mom sat aside and watched the duel between father and son.

"Who won?" Qiao Yue asked.

Seeing them coming, the mother-in-law replied with a smile, "It's a tie right now, neither winning nor losing. They are both rookies, and my brother is better."

Ji Beichen sat down and ate a piece of fruit, "Oh, it's rare that my mother actually praised me."

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "If you are willing to listen, I will praise you every day."

Ji Beichen: "It's better to say goodbye, I'm not used to it."

The mother-in-law ignored him, but still felt sorry for her son. She moved the fruit in front of him and poured Qiao Yue a cup of tea.

Qiao Yue asked, "Where is grandpa?"

Ji Beichen responded quickly, "I'm going back to the company to hold a board meeting."

Qiao Yue: "Really?"

Ji Beichen: "I stay at home and don't work. Someone has to hold the company meeting, so I let the old comrades go."

Qiao Yue smiled and said, "You are so filial. Grandpa is working and you are eating fruit."

Ji Beichen: "It's okay. My dad is also filial. Grandpa is in a meeting and he is playing tennis. I learned from him."

The mother-in-law glanced at him and said, "You two, father and son, are the same."

Qiao Yue smiled and looked at her father-in-law and younger brother who were playing ball.

This parent-child tennis match was quite exciting. My father-in-law has maintained the habit of exercising all year round and is very experienced in playing.

My younger brother is young and flexible, and his movements are handsome and neat. If he were in school, he would charm many little girls.

Qiao Yue suddenly remembered, "By the way, my brother's female classmate that day..."

The mother-in-law said: "I asked insinuatingly several times, but the boy just wouldn't let go. Sometimes he said he was a classmate, and sometimes he said he was a good friend."

Qiao Yue smiled and said, "Adolescent children must pay great attention to privacy."

Mother-in-law: "But, that little girl looks pretty good. Let's make friends first. Don't be in a hurry."

Ji Beichen said casually: "Is it possible that the two of us are good friends? Mom, don't you see that your brother has a girl friend, so you have already thought about the gift."

The mother-in-law snickered and said, "Don't tell me, I have really thought about this problem..."

Qiao Yue also smiled.

Amid the laughter, the housekeeper, Uncle Guang, came over and stood aside to look at Ji Beichen.

"What's the matter?" Ji Beichen asked.

Uncle Guang said, "There is some news about Mr. Ji Er."

Ji Beichen raised his eyebrows: "Second uncle's family?"

Uncle Guang nodded, "Yes."

It's been a while since I heard any news from my second uncle. The second uncle came to the house and made trouble once before. In anger, grandpa had already announced to sever ties with them. Since then, the second uncle has not appeared again.

Ji Beichen thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it."

Guang Shuhui reported: "His wife was diagnosed with cancer two months ago and was hospitalized for poor treatment. She passed away last night."

Hearing the news, Qiao Yue and her mother-in-law were also surprised.

This was quite sudden.

Ji Beichen was silent for two seconds, and then said to Uncle Guang, "I know."

Uncle Guang left.

The mother-in-law sighed and said, "I didn't expect that he would leave so suddenly. Things are really unpredictable. My son is in prison and my daughter Ji Jiaojiao is abroad. I haven't even seen her for the last time."

Qiao Yue's first reaction was to think of Ji Jiaojiao. She said to Ji Beichen, "We have to tell Jiaojiao about this."

Ji Beichen agreed, "Well, tell her. As for whether to come back or not, let her decide for herself."

Qiao Yue nodded, "Okay, let me tell you."

After saying that, she picked up her phone and walked away to call Ji Jiaojiao who was far away abroad.

Qiao Yue told Ji Jiaojiao everything, and there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Qiao Yue comforted her in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry and accept the change."

Ji Jiaojiao's voice was choked: "Sister-in-law, I understand. My mother's life is not easy. Although she is partial to my brother, she still gave birth to me. I will buy a plane ticket now and go back to give my mother a gift. ”

Qiao Yue: "Okay, but after you come back, it may be a little difficult to go back. Your dad..."

Ji Jiaojiao said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I am no longer the person I was a year ago, and I am not afraid of him."

Qiao Yue: "That's good. I'll wait until you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yue walked back and told Ji Beichen and her mother-in-law that Jiaojiao was coming back.

......

On the other side, Ji Jiaojiao bought a plane ticket and flew back to China that night.

Ji Beichen sent a car to pick her up and asked her to stay directly at the Star Hotel while she was in the country. After all, his cousin should not be able to return to his home.

Ji Jiaojiao was dressed in black and went directly to her mother's funeral.

When the second uncle saw her, he was naturally very surprised and angry.

This rebellious and unfilial daughter went abroad to enjoy her life without caring about the life or death of her family, and now she is finally back! !

However, given the large number of people present, the second uncle did not show his anger. Instead, he expressionlessly found a piece of mourning clothes for Ji Jiaojiao to put on.

Ji Jiaojiao was not in the mood to pay attention to him, she just wanted to give her mother a good ride.

Ji Beichen's family only sent a wreath to express their feelings. After all, Grandpa Ji had already let him go and his second uncle had nothing to do with their family, so they didn't need to attend.

Ji Jiaojiao left directly after attending her mother's funeral without saying a word to her father throughout the process.

She flew for more than ten hours and was immersed in the sadness of her mother's death. She didn't care about anything. She took a taxi to the Star Hotel and slept for a day and a night.

When Ji Jiaojiao woke up the next day, she planned to go to Ji's house to meet her cousin and sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, she met Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen at the door of the hotel.

When Qiao Yue saw Ji Jiaojiao, she was stunned for a moment and took a few more glances before recognizing her.

The thin little girl last year has completely changed her appearance now. She has a short haircut. She looks neat and clean, and her arms even have muscle lines.

Now she doesn't look weak at all.

Ji Jiaojiao looked at the couple and said softly, "Brother Chen, sister-in-law, long time no see."
