Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Ziang fell silent.

Qi Huanhuan looked at him and fell silent.

“If you agree,” he finally said, “My parents will be returning to S City soon. Pick a date when your parents are free. Let’s settle the marriage.”

Qi Huanhuan did not speak for a long time. She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes gradually turning red.

“Huanhuan, I’m sorry. I…” Ji Zi’ang stepped forward and wanted to touch Qi Huanhuan’s face.

However, before his hand could touch Qi Huanhuan’s face, she brushed it away.

Her eyes were red as she waited for Ji Zi’ang. Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. “Ji Zi’ang, aren’t you too arrogant? What makes you think that I’ll turn around if you wave your hand? You knew that I wanted to get married, but you avoided talking about it and found all kinds of excuses to drag me along. Now that I don’t want to marry you, you’re using this to coax me again?”

Qi Huanhuan turned around and ran to the door. She opened it, then came back and pulled Ji Zi’ang’s arm out.

Ji Zi’ang did not dare to use too much force, afraid that he would hurt her, so he could only be pushed out of the door bit by bit.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

He did not care and tried his best to explain to Qi Huanhuan, “It’s not what you think. It’s not that I don’t care about you, and I’m not dragging you down on purpose. I… Back then…”

“Don’t use the past to brush me off. If you have a shadow over women because of this, then you shouldn’t be in a relationship with me.” Qi Huanhuan interrupted him. “Why didn’t you think of the past when you were in love? When it was time to get married, you thought of the past. You enjoyed my kindness and used this as an excuse not to marry me. Ji Ziang, aren’t you disgusting?”

Ji Ziang was speechless.

Qi Huanhuan was partially right. He did not want to get married.

However, he had never thought of breaking up with Qi Huanhuan.

At that time, he thought that it would be good to maintain the status quo for the rest of his life. He would not mistreat Qi Huanhuan.

However, after Qi Huanhuan left, he realized that Qi Huanhuan was different from him.

He knew that he was not a good man. Compared to his Big Brother and Mucheng, they were like heaven and earth.

However, humans were selfish.

He still wanted to fight for himself. If possible, he would do his best to treat Qi Huanhuan well for the rest of his life.

The phone in his pocket kept ringing, stopping and ringing again and again.

Obviously, the other party had something urgent to discuss with him.

He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from his Big Brother.

Big Brother had always been a man of propriety. If it wasn’t an emergency, he wouldn’t have called one after another.

“Huanhuan, wait a moment. I’ll take… the call.”

Before Ji Zi’ang could finish his sentence, Qi Huanhuan quickly closed the door.

Ji Zi’ang looked up and glanced at his phone.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he still picked up the phone.

“He’s dead.” Ji Zixuan blurted out.

“Who is it?” Ji Zi’ang was confused and did not react. “Who died?”

“Ji Jianguo!” Ji Zixuan was silent for a few seconds before muttering the name.

“What’s going on?” Ji Zi’ang’s expression turned serious. He turned and stood in front of the window at the staircase. “What’s going on?”

“He came to my school to cause trouble. After he left, I don’t know what happened at the school gate. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but he couldn’t be saved.” In a low voice, Ji Zixuan told his son what had happened in a few words.

“He deserves it!” Ji Ziang gritted his teeth. After a while, he squeezed out three words.

The two brothers were silent.

After a long silence, he asked, “Graveyard… I’ll look for it. Do you want to come over?”

Wang Meiling and Qiu Kai probably wouldn’t pay for it.

Even if they did, the mother and son would use this matter to find trouble with them.

No matter how many grudges they had with that person, the debt would be cleared with his death.

He had given them life so they would give him a burial place.

This time, he was silent for a long time, so long that Ji Zixuan thought he would not speak again.

Just as he was about to hang up, he said, “I’m in S City now. Bring his ashes back. I’ll contact the Ji family.”

“I’ll bring the ashes over after the cremation,” he replied softly.

After hanging up, he looked up and sighed.

A moment later, he returned to Qi Huanhuan’s house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. “Huanhuan, I have something to do. I’ll look for you again tonight.”

Inside the house, Qi Huanhuan was standing behind the door.

Naturally, she had heard what Ji Zi’ang had said just now.

“Who passed away?” she asked.

“Ji Jianguo, I have to contact the Ji family now. I’ll call you in advance tonight. If it’s too late, I’ll come over tomorrow morning.”

“Don’t come. I won’t see you. I’ve already made it very clear.” Qi Huanhuan blurted out.

However, her tone was still a little softer than before.

Ji Zi’ang asked as if he had not heard Qi Huanhuan’s words. “Say, he made such a farce but ended up with such fate. What do you think he’s up to?”

Yeah, what was he after?At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan, who was far away in B City, was also considering this problem.

“If he is obedient and sincerely repenting. Although we won’t donate a kidney to him, if he can find a suitable kidney, maybe I’ll pay for it.” Ji Yuanyuan mumbled as she leaned against Qin Mucheng’s chest.

After all, he was her biological father, who was related to her by blood. Ji Yuanyuan’s thoughts were in a mess when she learned of his death.

“Why did he have to stir up trouble so that everyone would not be at peace? It’s not dignified at all.”

Qin Mucheng hugged her thin body and held her hands with both hands. “If you want to go back to S City, I’ll go with you.”

“No, I’m not going.” Ji Yuanyuan shook her head.

Before he died, he had begged Big Brother and threatened Second Brother. However, Ji Jianguo only cursed at her.

In his heart, she had always been a worthless ‘money-losing good’.

Qin Mucheng did not say anything else. He turned his head and gently kissed Ji Yuanyuan’s forehead.

Ji Jianguo was dead. Wang Meiling and Qiu Kai panicked.

They no longer had an excuse to ask the siblings for money. Besides, they also needed money to settle Ji Jianguo’s funeral.

Therefore, that afternoon, the mother and son were so scared that they disappeared. No one knew where they hid.

Ji Zi’ang contacted Ji Jianjun in S City.

Ji Jianjun was now an old man with a head full of white hair. Living in the countryside, he aged faster than his peers.

Upon hearing the news of Ji Jianguo’s death, Ji Jianjun’s tears immediately flowed out. He held Ji Ziang’s hand and exhorted, “Zi’ang, you must let your father return to his roots. His roots are in our Ji Jiawan…”

Looking at Ji Jianjun’s expression, Ji Zi’ang felt a little emotional.

Ji Jianjun was probably the only person in the world who could still cry for Ji Jianguo’s death, right?
