Mr. Ji, stop spoiling me, your wife is on the hot search again
Chapter 10 Return to the old house
After Ji Fengfan left the company, he drove back to the Ji family's old house. After parking the car and walking into the gate of the villa, a room full of people were sitting in the living room. When they saw him come in, Uncle Wang came forward to take the coat from his hand. Ji Fengfan immediately heard his second aunt's mocking voice, "Finally, we can have dinner. Some people are really hard to invite."
Then came the scolding of the second uncle Ji Chengshu, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Ji Fengfan's second aunt snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at her husband, and looked away. Ji Chengshu turned to look at Ji Fengfan, put on a smile and said, "Xiao Fan, don't mind it. Your second aunt is like this, she's very talkative."
Ji Fengfan said in a cold voice, "No." No emotion could be heard.
At this time, his uncle Ji Chengming also walked towards him and said to Ji Fengfan with a smile on his face, "Xiao Fan, you haven't been home for dinner for such a long time, and your grandfather is always nagging about you. When you have time, come back home more often and keep him company."
"Okay, I got it, uncle." Ji Fengfan nodded in response, but there was still no extra expression on his face.
Ji Chengming just smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he had his nephew under control.
Ji Fengfan didn't say hello to the others. Anyway, ever since his parents passed away, he had become taciturn and independent at home. Others had gotten used to it, and he wouldn't care at all if their second aunt said something sarcastic like that.
He walked straight towards the old man sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room. The other people in the living room automatically dispersed to both sides, leaving a human-shaped aisle. On the sofa at the end sat an old man with gray hair and sharp eyes. There was a cane in front of him, his hands folded on the cane, and his face was serious. Although he was sitting and his face was full of wrinkles, he was tall and straight, with a ruddy complexion and looked energetic. However, his serious expression showed that no one was allowed to get close to him. Several great-grandchildren did not dare to approach the great grandfather.
Ji Fengfan walked up to the old man, nodded slightly and called out, "Grandpa~"
The old man was Ji Fengfan's grandfather, Ji Weiye, the head of the Ji family. He was the one who had the final say in the Ji family. Now he was nearly eighty years old, but he still managed the Ji family's business.
The old man looked up at Ji Fengfan and nodded, "I'm here." Then he stood up from the sofa and said to everyone, "Let's eat."
Then he walked forward on crutches, and the others followed him towards the dining room.
The Ji family was considered to be a large family, and the large round table was full. However, before the old man spoke, everyone sat down and no one dared to pick up their chopsticks. They waited for the old man to pick up the first piece of food and put it into his mouth before everyone else started eating.
In Ji Fengfan's memory, life was carefree, casual and happy only when he lived with his parents in the compound. Later, after moving back to the Ji residence, he found that this family had many rules and everything needed his grandfather's approval before being done.
It is said that when his father and mother were preparing to get married, they encountered great resistance from his grandfather. It was not until he was born that his mother was slowly accepted by his grandfather.
Although he lived with his parents in the compound before he was ten years old, his grandfather would often pick him up and monitor his studies.
His grandfather had been very strict with him since he was a child, so strict that compared with the children of his eldest and second uncles, he became a special existence. This also led to him not being close to the children of his eldest and second uncles since he was a child.
When they were young, they were all playing, but Grandpa would not let him play, and he had to read books and do homework. Of course, he was very smart since he was young, and those homeworks were nothing to him, but every time Grandpa treated him differently and rewarded him, it directly made the others stick together, and then he was isolated.
At that time, his grandfather said to him, "You are different from them. You have to be able to endure loneliness and solitude to achieve great things."
He nodded as if he understood, and was pulled into the house by his grandfather. However, after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at the people who were playing with bubble machines and toy racing cars.
The envy in his eyes could not be hidden.
Kids, who doesn't like to play?
Ji Fengfan's father is the third child in the family. His name is Ji Chengli. He has never been competitive and has no intention of getting into business. He is devoted to research and has excellent academic performance. After graduation, he stayed in school and became a university physics professor. He is a very knowledgeable person. The only thing he did to disobey the old man was probably insisting on marrying Ji Fengfan's mother. The two were classmates in junior high school and could be considered childhood sweethearts.
The old man of the Ji family went into business early and accumulated a lot of wealth early on. In fact, Ji Fengfan could be considered a third-generation rich man. However, he had never cared about the Ji family's property.
But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean others don't care.
He raised his eyelids and looked at the large group of people sitting at the table, curled up the corners of his mouth lightly, and smiled mockingly. Grandpa is getting older and older, and some people's fox tails will eventually be exposed.
At the dinner table, Grandpa Ji sat at the main seat, and on the left sat Ji Fengfan's uncle. His aunt was not there. She had been a vegetarian for several years and mostly stayed in the small house in the backyard, chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha. She seldom went out, so she usually wouldn't show up at such family gatherings, and everyone had gotten used to it.
Next came the two children of the eldest uncle's family, the eldest son Ji Fengchuan, and his daughter-in-law Zhou Wenwei, and next to Zhou Wenwei sat their two children. Behind them sat the daughter Ji Ningxi, son-in-law Li Xian, and their son.
Sitting on the old man’s right was Ji Chengshu, the second son of the Ji family, and next to him was Ji Fengfan’s second aunt Yang Meng, and then sat the two children of his second uncle’s family, son Ji Fenghe and daughter Ji Yunxi.
The two children of the second uncle's family are not married yet, and they are not as stable as the eldest uncle's family. His son Ji Fenghe is not doing his job properly, and his girlfriend changes one after another. His shadow is everywhere in the gossip news. His daughter is still in college and is a relatively simple little girl. Every time Ji Fengfan comes back, she will chatter around him and find something to say.
Ji Fengfan sat next to Ji Yunxi, lowered his head and said nothing, eating his meal quietly.
No one else spoke either. The Ji family had many rules, especially during meals. If the old man didn't speak, no one else would speak. Even though there were children, the table was still too quiet.
At this time, Grandpa Ji coughed lightly and put down his chopsticks. Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked up. The three children were eating happily, not knowing why, and were coaxed by their parents to put down their chopsticks.
