“Didn’t you put a stick in the corner? Get up and take it. Why did you hit me yourself?” Zhang Ji said with a pained expression. After saying that, he lowered his head and planned to blow on Yu He’s red palm.
Zhang Jing and his wife were already used to the way the two of them interacted and were used to it.
However, with his brother and sister-in-law around, Yu He felt embarra.s.sed.
She pulled her hand back and said, “No matter how solicitous you are, this scolding is inevitable.”
Zhang Ji nodded repeatedly. “Sure, sure. But before you scold me, let me find some medicine to reduce the swelling for you.”
As he spoke, he really got up and was about to look for medicine. Yu He’s face burned and she grabbed him.
“I’ll be fine in a while. Listen to me first.”
Zhang Ji turned her hand around again and looked at it with heartache. He said, “Tell me, tell me. I’m listening.”
Under Luo Xiu’s teasing gaze, Yu He did not even know how to describe her exasperation and embarra.s.sment.
Knowing Zhang Ji’s personality, Yu He simply ignored him and asked, “Do you know why Father is angry?”
Zhang Ji looked up at her and said, “Father is very principled. In his opinion, we did that for personal gain. That’s why he’s angry.”
Yu He nodded. “You can say that, but most importantly, you and Big Brother said that. In addition, with Little Sister’s current situation, Father will feel that he has failed to educate his children.”
Zhang Jing and his brother instinctively looked at each other. The two of them were successful in their careers and had upright values. Moreover, they were friendly to each other. When outsiders mentioned them, they were all envious. Who would say that their father’s education of them was a failure?
Yu He looked at the two of them and knew that they did not understand what they meant.
She continued, “You all know the reason why Father is angry, but you don’t understand it. Think about it. If the two of you didn’t have your current status and status and were just two unknown people, would you still have the thought of using your power to help Little Sister escape prison?”
The two of them looked at each other and understood.
“Father has many principles. One of them is very important. He firmly believes that everyone is equal, especially before the law. He will definitely be angry when his son says in front of him that he wants to use his power for personal gain,” Yu He explained again.
Zhang Jing and his brother completely understood now.
With Zhang Hui’s current status, no matter where he went, others would be respectful to him. If it were anyone else, they would definitely enjoy this very much, but Zhang Hui did not think so.
He was unwilling to go to those flashy fame and fortune fairs. He was more willing to dress like every old and simple person, walk in the garden on crutches, or play chess and drink tea with his peers.
“Then what should we do now?” Zhang Ji was already regretting it. Although his original intention was to feel sorry for his father and make him happier, he did not expect to step into his father’s minefield.
Yu He pondered for a moment and didn’t say anything. She just took out her cell phone and called Jing Yao.
Jing Yao had just returned from trying on her wedding clothes in the afternoon and was playing with Little Dumpling.
She went out with Liang Xun without Little Dumpling. Little Dumpling was throwing a tantrum.
He was in a “cold war” with his mother.
This kid had been smart since he was young. He pouted and waited for Jing Yao to coax him, ignoring his father’s warning gaze.
Liang Xun couldn’t stand it anymore. If he spoke to Liang Jing loudly, he would lie in Jing Yao’s arms and wheedle.
He was still young. Every time he went against Liang Xun, Jing Yao would instinctively stand on his side.
After the phone rang, Jing Yao didn’t have any extra hands to take it. She could only ask Liang Xun for help.
“Liang Xun, take this call for me,” Jing Yao shouted without looking up.
Liang Xun shook his head helplessly and took out her cell phone from her small bag.
Seeing the caller ID, he didn’t pick up the call directly. Instead, he walked back to Jing Yao and said, “It’s Second Auntie.”
Jing Yao nodded. Because of the wedding preparations, her two aunts called her from time to time to give her advice.
She did not have a mother-daughter relationship with Zhang Li. It was impossible for Zhang Li to handle the wedding. Moreover, even if she was willing to let go of the grudge in her heart, Zhang Li could not help her now. After all, she did not have personal freedom now.
Hence, many of the things that should have been done by her mother were completed by her two aunts…
