Chapter 305: Three hundred and five, some families are happy while others are sad! _1
At the 305 family dinner, Ji Guangsheng lay awake, consumed with fury upon recalling the words Ji Changming had said to him.
Just then, Ji Pianran had finished wiping the table and was catching her breath, when she heard a knock at the door and hurried to open it.
Upon seeing her in-laws and the whole family at the door, she quickly greeted them with warmth.
"Dad, Mom, second brother, second sister-in-law, please come in."
When Tiantian heard that grandma and grandpa had arrived, she immediately climbed down from the couch and dashed over, throwing herself into Shen Cuizhi’s arms, "Grandma, Tiantian missed you so much~"
Being the only little girl in the family and knowing manners, Tiantian truly won Shen Cuizhi’s heart. It was as though she had eaten honey, smiling so happily.
"My darling, grandma missed you too."
After saying this, she took out a box of chocolates from the bag she was carrying and looked at Tiantian with a beaming smile, "Look, what has grandma brought for you?"
Upon seeing the chocolate, Fan Xiaoli couldn’t help but feel jealous.
"Mom, you’re really playing favorites!"
Xu Xu was at home every day, yet Shen Cuizhi had never given him chocolate. Was she saving all the sweets for her granddaughter?
How come her grandson was treated less favorably than an outsider’s granddaughter?
She had barely finished her complaint when she saw Gu He roll his eyes at her.
"I’m telling you, Fan Xiaoli, mom is finally seeing Tiantian after such a long time, what’s wrong with giving her some chocolate? Have you, as her aunt, brought any gifts for the child?"
After he spoke, he pulled out a small, exquisite music box from his pocket and teasingly offered it to Tiantian, who was nestled in grandma’s arms, "Come on, call me second uncle, second uncle has something fun for you."
He was relying on his younger brother for his newfound wealth, so he had to be good to his Tiantian.
Even within a family, there could be undercurrents of competition.
Gu He’s affection for Tiantian did have an ulterior motive.
Fan Xiaoli was now thoroughly upset. What kind of parent was he? His own child was already five years old, and he hadn’t bothered to buy him a gift, but for Tiantian, there was even a music box!
It was too much!
Seeing her visibly displeased, Ji Pianran quickly beckoned with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, come have an apple, they’re fresh from the supermarket."
At this, Fan Xiaoli reluctantly walked over, still sullen.
But she wasn’t interested in apples; she wanted to have a look around Gu He’s house.
She had only glimpsed inside when her expression swiftly turned from anger to astonishment.
"Goodness, your house is so big! This living room is even larger than mom’s yard!"
She had never seen such a grand crystal chandelier and big-screen TV before.
She wandered further in, her feelings turning sour, "My goodness, there’s even a bathtub in the bathroom! Only the wealthy can enjoy such luxuries!"
"Look at this huge, soft memory foam bed."
"Oh my, this must be Tiantian’s room, right? The walls are all pink? My heavens, and so many toys too! Your family must have struck it rich!"
Fan Xiaoli had never before seen such a nice house, with such fine decor and furniture.
It wasn’t just Fan Xiaoli; even Gu He couldn’t help but marvel.
"Chen’er, this house is truly fantastic!"
Shen Cuizhi and Gu Hang also looked around and nodded, their faces filled more with contentment than anything else.
The better their son’s life, the happier the parents were in their hearts!
Gu Chen brought out skewers of well-prepared meat from the kitchen and beamed at everyone.
"Let’s go, we’re going to have something different today! Let’s eat barbecue!"
Hearing him say this, everyone’s spirits were lifted.
To tell the truth, these days, the people of Chunli really don’t go for barbecues.
The main reason is that it’s not filling and on top of that, it’s expensive. A barbecue in the city costs several dozens.
Several dozens could buy quite a bit of meat, enough for a whole family to have a fulfilling meal together, wouldn’t that be nice?
Who would eat this kind of stuff? It’s not worth it!
Especially Gu He, who couldn’t wait to rub his hands together and said, "Ah, you’re becoming more and more stylish now. This is something city folks eat. Today I’m lucky to be part of it."
The family was bustling and lively, sitting on the balcony, while watching the night view of Haicheng, leisurely grilling skewers; the gentle breeze was truly delightful.
However, Ji Guangsheng, who was far away in Chuan City, wasn’t in such a good mood.
Inside the Ji Family Old House, he looked at his younger brother Ji Changming with an ashen face.
He said heavily, word by word, "I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it, so don’t blame me for being unkind as a brother. From now on, I won’t give you a single penny, and you will no longer have a position in the Ji Corporation. Get out!"
The last "get out" was almost spat out through clenched teeth.
He had never been so angry before.
It was all Ji Changming’s fault for going too far, persuading Ji Pianran to leave home years ago and now, with everything out in the open, not only did he show no remorse, but he also started some crappy company, inciting the employees in Haicheng to jump ship and resign.
It was truly ignorant and shameless.
Such a person, the Ji Corporation really couldn’t keep anymore.
Although the old master had repeatedly instructed to leave a way for Ji Changming and Ji Yuanbai to make money, the Ji family’s business really couldn’t keep this second brother anymore.
Hearing this, Ji Changming let out a cold laugh.
"I knew this day would come. Ji Guangsheng, over the years, the company has made so much money, but how much did you give me? How much did you give Yuanbai? Have you ever treated us like real brothers? Back then, I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted, I should have simply encouraged Pian Ran to leave and never come back!"
If it weren’t for that ridiculous kinship that tripped him up, Ji Guangsheng would never find his daughter in his lifetime, let alone hope for a cure for his illness!
Speaking of his illness, it was really fucking weird. Someone who was almost dead, how could they just get better?
Ji Changming really didn’t understand.
Ji Guangsheng was very angry at his words and immediately raised his hand, delivering a heavy slap to Ji Changming’s face.
He almost roared, "You scoundrel, Pian Ran is your niece after all, you could even harm your own flesh and blood, you’re absolutely disgraceful!"
The slap was not light, and a red trace of blood oozed from the corner of Ji Changming’s mouth.
He wiped the blood away with his hand, his eyes filled with a chilling shadow.
"Angry, are you? I’m just telling the truth. All these years, you’ve held the great power of the Ji Family, how majestic you’ve been. You’re the lofty Chairman Ji, and what about me? A Vice President in name only! The only thing I can do every day is read newspapers! You don’t give me any real authority, isn’t it because you are afraid that one day I might take your place?"
Ji Guangsheng didn’t expect Ji Changming to say such things. Why did he give him an empty title?
Wasn’t it because he was incompetent?
Wasn’t it because he had embezzled over ten million from the company?
Furious, his eyes fixed on Ji Guangsheng, he suddenly raised his right hand.
He intended to teach his younger brother a good lesson today.
Unfortunately, before his hand could fall, Ji Changming grabbed it.
He was holding onto Ji Guangsheng’s arm tightly, his tone filled with a menacing intent that was somewhat frightening.
"Remember this, the slap is for Pian Ran. From now on, we each go our separate ways, you take your broad road, and I’ll cross my own log bridge!"
In his heart, he cursed bitterly, Ji Guangsheng, I, Ji Changming, will definitely not let you off!
I must take back everything that belongs to the Ji Family and make you crawl out of the Ji Family!
