Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1744: Another Lot of Troubled Times
"Madam, let's eat together..."

"Madam, you're not hungry. You can eat. You must be hungry after traveling so far..."

Compared with the year before, the old man was a little hunched over, his eyelids began to droop, and he only smiled when he saw Ji Zhensheng. There were many more wrinkles on his face than before, and only half of his teeth were left.

"Madam, here's this for you. It's called donkey-hide gelatin. Aunt Haitang said it can be used as a tonic. It's really good. Open your mouth, ah..."

Ji Zhensheng had a very good relationship with his wife. He reached out, opened a donkey-hide gelatin and put it into the old lady's mouth, who quickly took it.

Ji Zhensheng gave one piece to Ning Caiyun, and finally to Ji Ping. The whole family was so happy.

"Haitang? Is she the little girl who came home with Lijuan? What is she doing now? Zhensheng, is your Aunt Haitang treating you well..."

Ning Caiyun often heard the name Qiu Haitang this year. It means that the other party was competing with her for the eldest grandson.

In the past, the two families just had a quick glance and no one took it seriously.

Now seeing that the child was so concerned about Qiu Haitang, Ning Caiyun hurried to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Mom, Zhensheng just got off the car. Do you have any noodles? He hasn't said a word to me since he came into the house. Where's my bowl? No shallots?"

They were about to enter an unsolvable cycle again, so Ji Donglai hurriedly interrupted them. Ji Zhensheng was also very alert and shouted that he wanted to eat frozen pears to get a bonus, and perfectly missed the topic.

"Donglai, what does Qiu Haitang do at home? I remember she was Xiaojuan's secretary, right?"

The whole family started to get busy around Ji Zhensheng. Wang Jue and Li Xun squeezed directly into Ji Donglai's yard and began to interrogate Qiu Haitang's family.

Now, given Ji Donglai's assets, it is impossible for him to remain single for the rest of his life. In their opinion, finding a 'suitable' person is urgent.

For some unknown reason, Yang Xue left directly. The reason was definitely something that Ji Donglai could not forgive. As for Youdusi, his actions had already represented everything.

Besides, if you want to move up a level, you can't let a foreign woman run the family business, otherwise she might get kicked out in the future.

"Haitang's father is a military officer and will retire soon. We met once before and he was a nice guy. Now Haitang is in charge of a county town and is divorced!"

Ji Donglai did not hide anything from his cousin and brother-in-law. After washing up, he told them everything.

It was fine at the beginning, until they talked about Qiu Haitang's divorce. Wang Jue's face turned ugly and Li Xun also shook his head slightly.

"Then forget it. We don't know the reason for the divorce, and it may cause trouble in the future. Most high-end women in the system are arranged marriages. If the other party's family is very powerful, we will get into trouble. Donglai, wake up and don't let others use you as a gun."

"Our assets are fine among civilians, but in front of people in the system, try not to show off, otherwise you will die without knowing how."

It is common sense that three generations of business are not as good as one generation of officials.

Although Li Xun was not from a famous family, his parents were also veterans.

As Ji Donglai's brother-in-law, his family has risen rapidly in recent years relying on Ji Donglai's connections. Wang Jue alone is now worth over 100 million.

Anyone outside would be very envious when seeing his family members. It was also because of Wang Jue that Li Xun was able to rise to prominence. It is said that a full person can resist any delicacy. It is not because of his strong willpower, but mainly because he is not hungry.

One year later, Li Xun became the official customs chief, and his rank was high enough from then on.

It was because Li Xun had become more successful that he could see things more clearly. Children of common people should try not to get involved in the affairs of the officialdom. Qiu Haitang's family was in the military, and the one who married into the other party must have a good background. If Ji Donglai got involved in something, all the years of struggle would be in vain.

"Your brother-in-law is right. Don't be confused. You can find any woman you want at your current level. At most, you can spend the rest of your life in luxury!"

Wang Juehe deeply agreed with Li Xun's point of view. As a career-oriented girl, Wang Jue now gets what she wants, and all of this is given by her younger brother.

It is true that Qiu Haitang likes her younger brother, but it is absolutely unacceptable for her to cause trouble for him.

The views of the two are also the unified standard for choosing a spouse for all families of status. If a person comes from a too low background, they will be given money but not status. If a person has a too high status, it is acceptable to lend him or her leverage, but they cannot be excluded immediately to avoid causing trouble.

It is best to borrow power and be able to offset each other's status. Of course, this is only in theory. Usually girls from families within the system do not leave.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep. Is Dai Fengxian back?"

Ji Donglai didn't want to get entangled in such things. He had finally gained his rare freedom. Ji Donglai was too lazy to get involved in too many things. There were so many things he could deal with if he started over again, so why bother with such things.

When Dai Fengxian was mentioned casually, Wang Jue rolled his eyes and looked at Li Xun.

"I'm back. I've been in the hospital for such a long time. I came home a while ago and walked around again. I came here in a wheelchair. I don't need a machine to speak anymore. My lower body can't move. My neck is stiff and my head is tilted. I'm like a female version of Stephen Hawking."

"She heard that you found a miracle doctor to diagnose the family members last time and the treatment was quite accurate, so she wanted you to help contact him. Her heir Xiao Su looks at people with eyes as sharp as knives, as if our whole family owes her something."

"I guess I'll have to come find you soon. This guy is a trouble. He took our house before, and now he wants our help again. Damn it!"

Speaking of Dai Fengxian, Wang Jue became extremely angry.

The courtyard was very nice, and Wang Jue took great care of it. However, Dai Fengxian gave an order and the courtyard was taken back. All the effort Wang Jue had put in was in vain, as Ji Donglai also built a large courtyard.

In the past two years, Wang Jue has renovated the house according to Dai Fengxian's style and it has become quite nice. Now it is very comfortable to live in.

Speaking of Dai Fengxian, Ji Donglai raised his eyebrows, and after chatting for a few more words, he was able to take a break.

Because he came back late today, Ji Donglai still got up late the next day. Ran Bo helped Ji Donglai withstand most of the happy harassment until the urgent phone call rang.

"Hmm? Mr. Dai..."

Looking at Dai Fengxian's call, Ran Bo hesitated. Wang Jue also ran over to inform Ran Bo that hundreds of trucks had arrived at Dai Fengxian's house.

"What a trouble! The ghost won't go away. Mr. Ji will wake up in an hour. Let him wait!"

Ran Bo hung up the phone directly, feeling unhappy.

There is a large courtyard with several entrances, in Dai Fengxian's courtyard, Ran Bo doesn't have much to worry about. The feng shui design of the whole courtyard is very good. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and every corner is full of knowledge.

The other party has taken everything and is now causing trouble for others. He is so greedy.

Besides, Ran Bo was present at the two meetings in the capital. He was aware of Dai Fengxian's unreasonable demands. In Ran Bo's opinion, he was the one who did it.
