81 Chapter 80, The Pheasant Will Never Become A Phoenix

After Ji Zi’ang finished speaking, Li Yong could not help but laugh out loud.

A cheap daughter! Isn’t that right!

He looked at Shen Lingxue who pursed her lips. He said meaningfully, “A pheasant wearing a gown is also a pheasant. It will never become a Phoenix.”

He had long seen that Ji Jianguo’s cheap daughter had always looked at Yuanyuan with that gaze.

What was going on? Why was she sizing them up as if they couldn’t afford it?

What did they know? Wasn’t it hot in the middle of summer? Who were they pretending for?

Their Yuanyuan, were the smart ones! Indeed, good materials were the coolest.

Shen Lingxue was only six years old, so she naturally didn’t understand Li Yong’s words. But she wasn’t stupid. Looking at the way Li Yong was looking at her, she knew that his words weren’t good.

She glared fiercely at Ji Yuanyuan and ran behind Shen Mei to hide.

“Dad, but Shen Lingxue said that your money will be her and Auntie Shen’s in the future. Do you still have the money to buy gifts for Big Brother and Second Brother?” Ji Yuanyuan bit her finger and pretended to be very naive.

When Ji Jianguo heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words, his expression instantly turned ugly as he looked at Shen Mei.

Shen Mei hugged Shen Lingxue and said with a cold face, “What nonsense are you spouting? When have you seen Lingxue?”

“You’re the one spouting nonsense. Find out whose door this is. Who are you acting fierce at?” Li Miao carried Ji Yuanyuan and walked toward Li Xu. She glared at Shen Mei in annoyance, she muttered, “How dare a mistress come knocking on my door? And you still dare to spout nonsense at my niece.”

Many neighbors had gathered around. When they heard Li Miao’s words, they immediately started whispering.

“So this is Xiao Xu’s ex-husband’s mistress. She looks quite old.”

“That’s right, is Xiao Xu’s ex-husband’s brain not working? He abandoned his wife and child and found a woman who is not as good-looking as Xiao Xu?”

“She looks quite young, probably is still young ah.”

“Who won’t be old? When she was young, she couldn’t compare to Xiao Xu. When she gets older, she can’t even compete.”

“It’s good that she’s divorced. Look at Xiao Xu now. She looks more energetic. The new partner isn’t bad either. I heard that he hasn’t had any children yet.”

“Really? That Xiaoxu is really a blessing in disguise.”

...

The people in the village were generally loud. Although they were whispering, Shen Mei and Ji Jianguo heard it clearly.

Ji Yuanyuan blinked, “Last year, Ling Xue and I were classmates for a period of time. She told me that my father will be her father from then on. From then on, all the money my father earns will be hers and Auntie Shen’s. He won’t give a single cent to my Big Brother and Second Brother. So, Big Brother and Second Brother, don’t be cheated. Daddy doesn’t have the money to buy toys for you.”

Seeing Ji Yuanyuan’s serious expression, Ji Zi’ang snorted, “Even if you don’t say that, I won’t go either. Uncle Zhang has already promised to buy toys for me, right? I’ll definitely get a Certificate of Honor.”

He looked at Zhang Kun with bright eyes.

Zhang Kun looked at his expression and couldn’t help but smile and nod, “As long as you can get a Certificate of Honor, I’ll buy you whatever you want.”

Zhang Kun had company benefits, and his salary was considered decent. In addition, he was a lone man and did not have any hobbies to spend money on. He only ate and lived in the unit.

Therefore, he could basically save his salary. After so many years, he had already saved quite a bit of money.

With money in his hands, he naturally spoke arrogantly.

Ji Zi’ang stood beside Zhang Kun happily and flattered him. “Uncle Zhang, you’re really nice.”

Ji Jianguo’s expression had turned ugly when he heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words. Now that he saw Ji Zi’ang and Zhang Kun getting along so well, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Today, he wanted to come over and let Li Xu see that he had earned money and bought a car.

He wanted Li Xu to regret divorcing him and the children to regret leaving him.

However, he did not know what had gone wrong. In the end, he was the one who was angered and lost face.

He glared at Shen Mei fiercely and got into the car.

Shen Mei saw this and cursed in her heart. She hurriedly carried Shen Lingxue and got into the car.

Ever since he made money, Ji Jianguo’s temper had also skyrocketed. He started to get angry at every turn, throwing his face at every turn.

Shen Mei could only coax him now.

After Ji Jianguo left, Li Xu’s face darkened.

Liu Guihua persuaded her neighbors to leave and the family returned home.

The originally good atmosphere instantly became heavy with Ji Jianguo’s interference.

Seeing Li Xu’s bad expression, Zhang Kun comforted her in a low voice, “It’s okay, the children are all grown up. Even if they want to go to court, the judge will have to ask for their opinions.”

Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Li Xu’s expression became a little better.

“That’s right, I heard from Qin Xiaomin that if they really want to go to court and the children are over eight years old, the judge will let the child choose who they want to follow. You don’t have to be afraid of that,” Li Yong said from the side.

Hearing Li Yong’s words, Li Xu raised her head and looked at him with a complicated look in her eyes.

Li Yong and Qin Xiaomin were still in contact?

Li Yong also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly changed the topic, “But I think Ji Jianguo is just here to let his mouth run wild and show off his car. Without the children by his side, he’s probably more at ease.”

In the past, Ji Jianguo had never cared about these children, but now he was starting to care?

Zhang Kun also said, “It’s fine, even if he is serious, we will accompany him to the end. No matter what, the children can not follow him.”

That woman did not look like a good person. What good would it be if the children followed him?

Hearing Zhang Kun’s words, Li Xu’s expression eased up. She sighed and said, “Let’s take it one step at a time!”

On the other side, Ji Jianguo had a cold expression on his face the entire way. Shen Mei was hugging Shen Lingxue in the backseat, not daring to say a single word.

She was also unsure if Lingxue had said anything like that to Ji Yuanyuan.

...

After all, that was what she had said to Shen Lingxue in private.

Just as Shen Mei was letting her imagination run wild, the car suddenly stopped.

“Shen Mei, listen carefully, you have to put yourself in a proper position. My property will definitely be given to my biological child in the future. Don’t spoil the child. In the future, she will have thoughts that she shouldn’t have,” Ji Jianguo said without turning his head.

Shen Mei bit her lip, her heart burning with anger.

Ji Jianguo was clearly telling her that in the future, Ling Xue wouldn’t get a single cent of his property. A stepdaughter was also a daughter, why can’t she get them?

Moreover, Ji Jianguo only became rich after marrying her. Perhaps it was because they were destined to be a husband and wife.

Half of Ji Jianguo’s assets should also be hers.

But for now, she could only temporarily endure it.

“I understand!” After a moment, Shen Mei said in a low voice.

When Ji Jianguo heard her words, a satisfied expression appeared on his face as he drove home.

...

...

In the afternoon, Li Yong and Zhang Kun went back to the city together.

Zhang Kun was not yet a son-in-law after all, so it was inappropriate for him to stay at their house.

As for Li Yong, he still had to work the next day.
