After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

The sky in the middle of the night seemed to be dyed with thick ink. There was not a single star in sight and everything was quiet around.

The breeze swayed the branches of the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, which seemed particularly chilly in this deserted cemetery.

However, there was no trace of fear on Ji Tingyang's face. He walked straight in the cemetery and came to a tombstone deep in the cemetery.

After coming out of Wenli, he arrived at Nanshan Cemetery.

Under the moonlight hanging high in the sky, he quietly looked at the smiling face of the woman on the tombstone, with a sad mood in his eyes.

The photo on the monument was a little dirty, so Ji Tingyang reached out and wiped it, his fingertips gently stroking the cheek in the photo. In the silence, even the air around him was tinged with a bit of sadness.

Come to think of it, he hasn't come here to visit for a long time.

Since he took back Ji's family, he has been busy learning how to manage the company. Later, the company's business became more and more busy...

Sometimes he thought it was good to be busy, at least it could make him forget the pain for a while.

But every time I get drunk, these things always surface uncontrollably from the depths of my heart, and my heart seems to be pricked by a needle from time to time.

All these unbearable emotions reached their peak in this deserted and silent night.

Ji Tingyang's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his body slowly sat down in front of Lin Xu's tombstone.

……

The next morning.

When Ji Yuqiao came down from the second floor, Mrs. Zhang had already prepared breakfast and asked her to come over to eat.

She walked over and saw that only Ji Zeqiu was at the table.

"Where's brother? Haven't you gotten up yet?" Ji Yuqiao asked puzzledly.

Usually, the eldest brother gets up earlier than them, but today he was nowhere to be seen. It’s so strange.

Could it be that he is sick?

Ji Yuqiao sat down while thinking.

"When I went to call the young master to have breakfast just now, I found that the bedroom was empty. Maybe he went to the company early in the morning." The butler said as he placed the dishes and chopsticks.

Ji Yuqiao's eyes flashed with surprise, "You went to the company so early?"

But her surprise only lasted for a moment, and her attention soon returned to the breakfast on the table.

"Second brother, are you taking a rest today?" Ji Yuqiao asked.

Ji Zeqiu nodded, "I just finished filming a drama a few days ago and took a few days off."

"Then can you please take me to school later? I haven't ridden in that new sports car you bought yet." Ji Yuqiao's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Okay," Ji Zeqiu naturally agreed to this little thing. However, just when he was about to say something, he heard the sound of dishes breaking from the second floor.

What followed was Wen Li's cry: "I said I don't want to eat it! I don't want to eat it!"

Ji Zeqiu's face suddenly showed concern and he stood up abruptly.

"Second brother?" Ji Yuqiao called him from behind.

"I don't have time now, so ask the driver to drive my car to take you to school." Ji Zeqiu walked towards the second floor without looking back.

Ji Yuqiao's expression changed, and a trace of sadness and loss flashed across her eyes.

My second brother clearly promised her...

She lowered her head and looked listless.

At this time, there was a noise at the door.

Ji Tingyang untied the tie around his neck, threw it on the clothes hanger at the entrance, pinched his nose and walked in.

After taking only two steps, he heard Ji Yuqiao's worried voice, "Brother, what's wrong with your head?"

She hurriedly put down the chopsticks in her hand, walked to Ji Tingyang, and stared at his forehead.

His forehead was red and swollen, with a large scar and scabs of blood around it. It looked like he hadn't slept all night, and there were dark circles under his eyes.

"Brother, weren't you beaten up outside?" Ji Yuqiao was extremely anxious.

"I'm fine." Ji Tingyang said calmly, "Go over and have breakfast."

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Ji Yuqiao had to give up asking, "Okay, let's have breakfast first, and then I'll give you medicine."

As he was speaking, the housekeeper had already brought out a new set of bowls and chopsticks.

Ji Tingyang had already stepped onto the stairs, but when he saw Ji Yuqiao waving at him happily, he paused, turned around and walked towards the dining table.

"Brother, the porridge cooked by Mrs. Zhang is delicious, you should try it." Ji Yuqiao said with a smile.

Ji Tingyang took a sip and said, "It's really good."

However, he had no appetite and simply took a few bites before putting down the spoon.

"Take your time eating. I'm going upstairs to wash up. I have to go to the company later." Ji Tingyang said.

"Brother, can you please give me a ride to school on the way?" Ji Yuqiao said quickly.

Ji Tingyang went upstairs, "Okay."

However, before he had taken two steps, he heard some noisy noises coming from the room at the end of the second floor. He frowned slightly and walked straight towards the bedroom over there.

In the bedroom.

Wen Li was lying in Ji Zeqiu's arms, her eyes filled with pitiful tears, which made people feel distressed.

"I don't want to stay here anymore. Can you take me away?" Her voice was choked.

Ji Zeqiu tightened his hands at his sides, looking hesitant.

"Ji Zeqiu, please..." Crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

Ji Zeqiu loosened his tightly clenched hands and said, "Okay."

Wen Li's eyes suddenly lit up, but when she saw Ji Tingyang at the door, her face turned pale again.

After seeing Wen Li's abnormality, Ji Zeqiu also turned his head to look, and his face also became stiff.

"Where do you want to go?" Ji Tingyang had a gloomy face. He walked in and approached Wen Li step by step.

A trace of fear appeared on Wen Li's face. She took a few steps back in fear, her voice trembling, "I, I..."

Ji Zeqiu took a step forward, standing in front of Ji Tingyang, and looked at him with a firm look, "Brother, I want to take her away. She is a living person, you can't lock her up in the villa and not let her go anywhere."

"She wants to leave?" Ji Tingyang sneered, "Don't even think about it, unless I die."

Listening to the quarrel upstairs, Ji Yuqiao couldn't even eat breakfast, and looked towards the second floor worriedly from time to time.

In a short while, Ji Zeqiu came down from the second floor in a rage and slammed the door.

A moment later, the housekeeper also came down from the second floor and looked at Ji Yuqiao with an embarrassed look, "Miss, the eldest master said he would not go to the company today, so he asked me to take you to school."

The blood color on Ji Yuqiao's face disappeared completely, and an uncomfortable sour feeling surged in his heart. After a while, he let out a bitter smile.

Whenever something happened to Wen Li, the eldest and second brothers would forget about her. They had clearly promised to do something, but they would go back on their word because of Wen Li.

It’s all Wen Li’s fault.

If it weren’t for Wen Li, the eldest and second brothers would not have ignored her.

It’s all Wen Li’s fault.

If it weren't for Wen Li, the eldest brother and the second brother wouldn't have quarreled, and their family would still be together in harmony as before.
