Chapter 132 The Cannon Fodder Brother in Uncle-Sister-in-Law Love 7
Chapter 132 The Cannon Fodder Brother in Uncle-Sister-in-Law Love 7
Ji Tianhe knew about Ke Rou's affairs, but he didn't take it to heart. He would inherit the entire family business in the future. She was just a woman. His father liked her so he could take her in. Every man had three wives and four concubines.
The only one in the whole family who was jumping up and down was Zhen Muxue.
Miao Ruoming once again took the initiative to find Ji Yanli.
She was still a little hesitant, weighing the pros and cons between the two brothers. Although Ji Yanli was physically weak, his brain was still there. She had heard from her cousin that Ji Tianhe knew nothing about business. If it weren't for him giving her some advice, she was afraid the shop would also be losing money.
Would Ji Kun really hand over the family business to such an idiot?
She was afraid of betting on the wrong horse, so she decided to go see Ji Yanli again.
In the original world, Miao Ruoming had no such concerns. After all, her original self had died after falling into the sea. The next generation of the Ji family only had Ji Tian and Ji Kun. Even if he was a hopeless case, the Ji family's assets would still fall into his hands. As long as she controlled Ji Tian and Ji Kun, once Ji Kun died, Ji Tian and that idiot would be unable to protect the Ji family's assets. With a little manipulation from her and her cousin, everything would be theirs.
But now that Ji Yanli is alive, with a weak but smart son and a healthy but stupid son, it is hard to say who will end up with the family business.
Miao Ruoming dreamed of finding out Ji Yanli's true self. After they got married, due to Ji Yanli's health problems, they had been living in two separate courtyards. They were husband and wife in name only, but not in reality. When she came to see Ji Yanli, she had to wait outside the courtyard and be notified before she could enter.
The servant came over quickly and said, "Madam, the eldest master wants you to come in."
Miao Ruoming nodded slightly and walked in.
Her maid was stopped.
"The eldest young master doesn't like crowds, Madam, please forgive me."
Miao Ruoming didn't say anything.
Before she came in, Ji Yanli had already put away the beautiful jade he had just found and lay down on the bed.
Miao Ruoming came in and lingered on his face for a moment, then saw that he was as pale as paper and lying there sickly. She asked worriedly, "You look even worse than the last two days. Are you feeling unwell?"
Before Ji Yanli could finish his words, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice. Even though he hid quickly, Miao Ruoming still saw the glaring red on the handkerchief.
"It's okay. I'm much better now. I just caught a cold last night. You don't have to tell anyone else or your parents will worry."
Miao Ruoming agreed with a smile, and seeing that his lips were dry, she quickly poured him a glass of water.
Ji Yanli struggled to get up and took it. A corner of a white porcelain bottle was exposed from the tightly covered quilt.
A look of understanding flashed in Miao Ruoming's eyes.
No wonder he looked weaker than usual today. It turned out that this was his real physical condition. He looked fine on weekdays, but it was just because he used powder to cover up his pale face.
She made the decision in a split second.
This sickly fellow won't live long.
She didn't stay long, and left after giving a few more instructions.
As soon as she left, Ji Yanli asked someone to go to Xiangmanlou to buy him three servings of Dongpo pork, one for him to eat and two for him to put in his space.
The worlds he visited had no shortage of food and clothing, but he heard that in some other worlds people were so hungry that they ate tree bark, so he had to be prepared.
That night, when Ji Tianhe came back from the shop, he heard people say that Miao Ruoming had gone to see Ji Yanli.
He was mad with jealousy.
I couldn't help but sneak into Miao Ruoming's yard in the middle of the night.
Standing beside her bed, looking at her gentle and peaceful sleeping face, even though he told himself to be patient for the time being, he couldn't help but lower his head.
A slight touch and his heart started pounding, and he ran away with his hands and feet trembling.
Miao Ruoming on the bed opened her eyes and wiped the corner of her mouth in disgust.
Ji Tianhe had another dream after he returned.
If the last dream in the ancestral hall was a nightmare, then this one was a sweet dream.
He dreamed that Ji Yanli fell into the sea and died after being tricked by him. He and Miao Ruoming got married. The next day, the bad news came. His parents were greatly shocked and Miao Ruoming also fainted. He stepped forward to take charge of the situation.
He also took over some of the shops' business, but he had never been involved in this before, and the shop owners were senior and relied on their age to do things, which made it difficult for him to do things. As a result, many shops began to operate poorly and suffered losses.
He was filled with hatred and anxiety, but was helpless in the face of his father's disappointed eyes.
At this time, Miao Ruoming stood up. She couldn't bear to see him like this, so she recommended her cousin. Her cousin was indeed quite capable, and the business of the shop gradually improved. Her father also praised him more and more. He was quite proud for a while and valued Miao Ruoming's cousin even more.
Miao Ruoming seemed to admire him more and more. Ji Tianhe often saw that there was a bit more hidden love in her eyes when she looked at him. He felt that the day when he would have his sweetheart was not far away.
But on the day of Ji Yanli's memorial, he saw Miao Ruoming hiding and crying. Jealousy took over his mind again. He couldn't help it and forced himself to have sex with her.
The next day, he coaxed her for a long time, and Miao Ruoming finally forgave him. Not long after, she became pregnant with his child.
The dream ended abruptly here.
Ji Tianhe woke up with a smile on his face. He touched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help blaming Ji Yanli.
If he had died right after falling into the sea, it would have been much better. There wouldn't have been so many things that happened later. Although he had his own shop, the difference between being the heir of the Ji family and being the owner of a small shop was huge.
But Ji Yanli looked like he would die in the next second, but he just refused to die...
Ji Tianhe got up, put on his clothes and went to Miao Ruoming's yard again under the cover of night.
At dawn the next day, he came out of Miao Ruoming's yard with a satisfied look on his face, walked to Ji Yanli's yard, and hummed a little tune.
Ji Yanli was still sleeping soundly in bed. He didn't know about Ji Tian and Xiao Rendezhi's actions. Even if he knew, he would probably sneer at them.
With that dream, Ji Tianhe valued his cousin Miao Ruoming more and more. Facts proved that his vision was correct. Cousin Miao Ruolan did have a talent for business. With his suggestions, Ji Tianhe's shop was run in an orderly manner.
Not only did Zhen Muxue praise him highly, but even Ji Kun looked at him with a new respect.
Ji Tianhe looked proudly at Ji Yanli who was sitting next to him. Seeing him fiddling with a jade lion with his head down, the curve of his lips became bigger and bigger.
He was in a good mood. Even if Ji Yanli turned around and left the house and squandered a thousand taels of gold, he only felt a pang of pain in his heart. He comforted himself that it didn't matter. The sickly man must be unhappy. It was good that he was unhappy. With his body, he might die one day if he got angry too much.
He didn't care. It was just one thousand taels of gold. Ji Tianhe covered his heart and gritted his teeth.
He doesn't care!
Ke Rou has been in the mansion for almost a month and has been staying in the yard without coming out. The meals are delivered by the servants. Since she has not made any trouble, Zhen Muxue feels relieved.
But it turned out that she was too early to let go of this worry.
