Chapter 118
118 Chapter 117, For A Few Dozens Yuan
Xu Xiuhua’s eyes widened when she heard that, “What? Then you came back just like that? Go to court and sue her and take all the money back. How can you let her off so easily?”
Ji Jianjun had a hunch that something was wrong with this matter. According to Third Brother’s personality, if it was really that simple, how could he let it go so easily?
“Third Brother, tell me in detail what exactly is going on? Who did Shen Mei run away with? And what is this debt?”
Thinking about these things, Ji Jianguo felt a little embarrassed and kept his head down without saying anything.
“Third Brother!” Ji Jianjun scolded angrily, “It was already like this, tell me!”
Ji Jianguo still didn’t say anything, he glanced at Ji Jianjun and was about to speak again, Sun Qingxia hurriedly said, “You guys talk, I’ll go out for a while!”
She was afraid that it was because she was here that Third Brother was embarrassed to speak.
Anyway, she wasn’t interested in such trivial matters, so she might as well hide outside.
After she went out, she had nowhere to go. She just sat at the door in a daze.
After a moment, she sighed. If she had to say it, it was the right decision for Yuanyuan’s mother and Third Brother to divorce.
This third brother wasn’t someone who lived a proper life!
If it weren’t for his high standards and low skills, would he have gotten to where he is today?
With this thought in mind, Sun Qingxia shook her head helplessly.
In the house, after seeing Sun Qingxia leave, Ji Jianguo opened his mouth gloomily, “After I went to the south, I joined my classmate and did business with him. He was very friendly and knew that I didn’t have a place to live, so he let me stay in his house. In the beginning, I did earn a lot of money, so after I went back last time, under Shen Mei’s and his persuasion, I invested all the money I earned. I even borrowed a sum from the bank.”
Hearing Ji Jianguo’s words, Ji Jianjun frowned.
“Later, the financial crisis happened. My classmate felt that something was wrong at the beginning, so he withdrew in time. Although he lost some money, at least he still had some left. My money was stuck, and I lost all of it.” Ji Jianguo lowered his head, his hands were tightly clenched.
“Where’s Shen Mei? What happened to Shen Mei?” Ji Jianjun sighed.
“I was still kept in the dark at first. I came home early that day and found them…” Ji Jianguo was somewhat unable to say it out loud.
Which man would have the nerve to publicize the fact that he was cuckolded?
“Then you shouldn’t have agreed to the divorce. As long as you don’t get a divorce, the two of them won’t have any status. By then, wouldn’t Shen Mei, that b*tch, have to beg you?” Xu Xiuhua instantly understood Ji Jianguo’s meaning, she said with a hint of disappointment.
“I was penniless at that time, and I didn’t have a place to live. He said that as long as I signed the agreement, he would give me the money to go home!” Ji Jianguo lowered his head in shame.
At that time, he didn’t know what to do.
After learning that Shen Mei had cheated on him, he didn’t seem to be angry.
He didn’t want to stay there any longer. Under the financial crisis, he couldn’t find a job at all. He was penniless, and he didn’t even have a place to live. If he didn’t go home, he might starve to death over there.
He was so far away. Even if he died, his family might not even know.
So, he signed the divorce agreement, took a few dozens of yuan, and boarded the train back to S City.
After he returned, he didn’t dare to go home for a long time.
After all, just over a month ago, he was still in high spirits. Before he left, he had a fight with his Second Brother.
Now that he was back, he had no face!
Xu Xiuhua sucked in a breath of cold air, “You signed the divorce agreement just for a few dozen Yuan?”
Ji Jianguo held his breath, not daring to say a word.
“How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing like you!” Xu Xiuhua slapped her thigh regretfully, “You’ve been cheated by someone. That classmate of yours must be rich. Your wife let someone sleep with her, and a few dozen Yuan is enough to send you away…”
“Mom, what’s the point of saying all this now?” Ji Jianjun said with a frown.
Third Brother already regretted it enough. Saying all this now, wasn’t it stabbing a knife into his heart?
“Did I say something wrong? It’s such a big matter. As long as he’s a little more stubborn, he can get at least 10,000 Yuan. This is because I’m not there, if I was there, I would definitely skin Shen Mei alive!”
“Where’s the account? How much do you owe the bank?” Ji Jianjun saw that Xu Xiuhua was not done, so he quickly changed the topic.
Ji Jianguo’s voice was a little choked up, “One hundred thousand Yuan!”
Xu Xiuhua almost fainted when she heard it, “One hundred thousand Yuan?”
…
To Li Xu, Ji Jianguo’s matter was just a small interlude. She quickly forgot about it.
After all, he was someone who had nothing to do with her anymore.
However, ever since Ji Zixuan met Ji Jianjun, he had been in a bad mood for the past few days.
Even Zhang Kun could tell that Ji Zixuan was in a bad mood. As he pushed the door open and walked into the shop, he asked, “What happened to Zixuan?”
Li Xu looked up and saw that it was him. She smiled, “Did you go home?”
Zhang Kun nodded, “The unit gave out a few bottles of soda, so I sent them home.”
As he spoke, he took out a bottle from his pocket, “I even left you a bottle!”
Li Xu pursed her lips and smiled. She reached out to take the soda.
Zhang Kun’s unit was blessed with good benefits. They would give out something from time to time. Every time they gave out something good, he would send it home immediately.
He really treated the children like his own children.
Li Xu lifted the cap of the bottle and gave Zhang Kun a sip before taking a sip.
After drinking, Li Xu simply told him about the day Ji Jianjun came to the house, “He probably knows that his father is not doing well now, so he’s feeling bad! After all, they’re father and son. He was also held in Ji Jianguo’s arms all those years ago!”
When Zhang Kun heard this, he turned to look at Li Xu and said with a smile, “Why do I smell something sour?”
Li Xu didn’t react for a moment, “Huh? What’s wrong?”
Zhang Kun smiled even more happily, “Someone is eating vinegar1.”
Only then did Li Xu React. She smiled helplessly, “Why am I jealous? I know my own child. In his heart, I’m definitely the first.”
Zhang Kun was about to say something when the phone in the shop suddenly rang.
Li Xu quickly picked up the phone, “Mother?”
Seeing that it was his future mother-in-law calling, Zhang Kun leaned closer and pricked up his ears to listen.
“Really? Xiao Lei really called? When did he say he’ll be back? The 19th. That’s the day after Yuanyuan’s birthday. Alright, we’ll all go back then.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Xu’s eyes sparkled, “My Eldest Brother is coming back. It’s the day after Yuanyuan’s birthday. It’s on Friday, you should come back with me then. We’ll go at night and call Xiao Yong!”
Zhang Kun thought for a moment and agreed, “No problem, we usually get off work earlier on Fridays!”
Seeing that Zhang Kun had agreed, Li Xu called Li Yong’s hotel and told him the good news.
