123 Chapter 122, The Children’s Future
Ji Jianguo saw Ji Yuanyuan and quickly smiled, “Yuanyuan is back? Are you tired?”
He stood up and was about to stroke Ji Yuanyuan’s head.
However, Ji Yuanyuan did not have a good impression of him, so how could she let him stroke her head? She quickly took a step back and looked at him warily.
Ji Jianguo’s expression was a little awkward. He looked at Ji Zi’ang and then at Ji Zixuan.
He probably felt that Ji Zi’ang was not to be trifled with, so he started talking to Ji Zixuan, “Zixuan, How are your studies going? Did you miss Daddy? Daddy bought you a shirt, but I don’t know if it’s suitable for you!”
As he spoke, he fished out a red plastic bag from his bag, “All each of you got one!”
Inside the red plastic bag were three flowery t-shirts.
One look and one could tell that they were cheap. It was unknown from which wholesale market they were bought.
Li Xu thought that he was being generous, but when she saw this, she could not help but laugh out loud.
Ji Jianguo probably felt a little embarrassed as well. He placed the plastic bag aside and explained awkwardly, “Daddy doesn’t have money now. When I have money, I’ll definitely buy you something better.”
Ji Zixuan did not even look at him. He walked past Ji Jianguo and walked to Li Xu’s side with his head lowered.
Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan followed closely behind.
Li Xu patted Ji Zixuan’s head and asked gently, “Have you eaten?”
Ji Zixuan nodded, “I’ve eaten at Grandpa Qin’s house. What about you?”
“I’ve eaten too. It’s getting late, bring your siblings home quickly. I’ll pack up and go home later!”
“But...” Ji Zixuan looked up worriedly at Li Xu with a conflicted expression.
“It’s okay, I’ll be back soon.” Li Xu knew what he was worried about and comforted him.
“Got it.” Ji Zixuan reached out and held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, “Let’s go home!”
Ji Zi’ang quickly held Ji Yuanyuan’s other hand and the three of them walked out of the shop side by side.
When they passed Ji Jianguo, Ji Zi’ang raised his head high and snorted disdainfully.
Ji Jianguo’s expression changed. He wanted to say something, but Li Xu said coldly, “Tell me what you have to say!”
Ji Jianguo finally stopped talking.
Ji Yuanyuan was pulled out of the shop by the two of them. She pulled the two of them with force and said, “Big Brother, Second Brother, let’s listen to what they have to say. I’m afraid Mom will be at a disadvantage!”
Ji Jianguo was too evil. There was no one in the store at this time. What if he had some evil thoughts?
Ji Zi’ang had the same thought and immediately nodded his head.
Ji Zixuan only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The three of them leaned on the wall and quietly returned to the outside of the store.
They squatted at the door one by one and pricked up their ears.
“Ah Xu, how have you been lately?” Ji Jianguo asked embarrassedly.
His eyes kept wandering around the shop, observing the shop.
In fact, he had come here in the morning.
He knew that Li Xu had been selling vegetables at the market, so he had gone to the market. After being told by someone, he found out that Li Xu had opened a shop.
When he heard the news, he was still in disbelief.
Was Li Xu’s vegetable business really that profitable?
When his Big Brother said that she had earned money and built a greenhouse for her family, as well as bought a house in the city, he didn’t believe it at first.
But now, he believed it.
The greenhouse at home cost at least three thousand Yuan. Even if she only paid the down payment for the house, it would still cost ten thousand Yuan!
After careful calculation, Ji Jianguo was a little speechless.
Speaking of which, he had been watching outside ever since he came over in the morning. After a whole day, there was an endless stream of customers.
After all, Li Xu had lived with Ji Jianguo for so many years. When Ji Jianguo stuck out his butt, she knew what sh*t he was going to say.
Therefore, when she saw the look in Ji Jianguo’s eyes, she knew that he came today with ill intentions.
“If you have something to say, say it. If you have nothing to say, then get lost!” Li Xu scolded bluntly, “I hope that you won’t come and disturb the lives of the four of us in the future. You said it before.”
“Ah Xu...” Ji Jianguo said with a smile.
However, just as he opened his mouth, he was scolded by Li Xu, “Don’t disgust me. Don’t call my name. If you have something to say, just say it!”
“Hey, I’m divorced!” Seeing this, Ji Jianguo let out a long sigh and said with some hidden bitterness.
Right now, Li Xu only hoped that someone in the shop would come quickly to stop Ji Jianguo’s foul mouth.
She really wanted to pick up the broom next to her and beat this bastard out, but she was afraid that someone would see her.
“What does your divorce have to do with me?” Li Xu was really annoyed.
What could she do to never see this person again?
“I divorced because of you!” Ji Jianguo said anxiously.
Li Xu widened her eyes and looked at Ji Jianguo in disbelief.
Ji Jianguo thought that Li Xu believed him, so he quickly covered his chest, “Only after the divorce did I know that I can’t live without you and the children!”
Li Xu really couldn’t stand it anymore. She directly picked up the broom next to her, “Get out of here. If you harass me again, I’ll find someone to break your legs!”
...
The broom hit Ji Jianguo with a loud bang, making him run out of the shop in a sorry state.
After leaving the shop, Ji Jianguo saw the three children.
He seemed to have remembered something and shouted, “I came to find you this time for the children’s future!”
When Li Xu heard this, she stopped what she was doing.
She looked at Ji Jianguo warily and asked, “What do you mean?”
Since Ji Yuanyuan had already been exposed, she walked over to Li Xu’s side.
Ji Zi’ang put his hands on his hips, “Leave quickly or I won’t be polite!”
Ji Jianguo glanced at Ji Zi’ang casually and did not take him to heart, instead, he explained to Li Xu, “If I go to jail, the children might be affected when they take the civil service exam, join the army, find a job, or even go to university. You know this, right?”
Li Xu frowned when she heard this.
“It’s useless even if they move out of the household register. I’m their biological father. This is a fact that can not be changed.”
“So? What do you mean?” Li Xu pulled Ji Ziang and asked hoarsely.
...
“I owe the bank money. If I can’t pay it back, I’ll have to go to jail. If I go to jail, the children will be affected. This is something you don’t want to see, right?”
Ji Jianguo probed. Seeing that Li Xu’s expression was not agitated, he continued, “We’re husband and wife after all. Lend me some money and I’ll pay back the bank’s money. Everything will be fine.”
Ji Zixuan looked at Ji Jianguo in surprise. His eyes were slightly red. His small chest heaved up and down. He was clearly extremely angry.
He was not young anymore, so he naturally understood Ji Jianguo’s meaning.
Ji Jianguo was using the children’s future to force Li Xu to lend him money!
