If that was the decision, then it was fine. Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Then, she thought of her husband’s previous actions and asked worriedly, “Hubby, are you going to keep your word this time?”
Ji Lingchen was not angry at her question. Instead, he smiled and replied gently, “Of course, I’ll keep my word. This time, I’ll promise you in front of Dad and my big brother and sister-in-law. If you want to move out, I’ll take you with me immediately.”
Fang Xiaonuan gave up completely. She obediently put her luggage back into the bedroom. Just as she sat down and sighed, Ji Wen entered. “Fang Xiaonuan, quickly thank me! This young master has risked his life to keep you here.”
Fang Xiaonuan narrowed her eyes. She did she not understand what he had said. “Ji Wen, please don’t tell me that everything that happened today was because of you. Did you want to keep me from moving out?”

Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth and said, “Ji Wen, can you repeat that for me?”
Ji Wen was a big-headed person. He had no foresight at all. In order to show his loyalty, he said, “I broke grandfather’s vase on purpose for you. Grandfather chased after me and beat me up. Look at how much I’ve sacrificed to keep you here! If you stay here, my uncle will bully you and I can at least protect you…”
Fang Xiaonuan did not want to listen to this reckless brat in front of her anymore. She punched him in the face and then at the corner of Ji Wen’s mouth. “D*mn you, you’re such a fool. I’ll thank you properly!”
Just because he wanted her to stay, he had not even ask her about it. Fang Xiaonuan was furious. Ji Wen saw that Fang Xiaonuan’s expression was not right and he looked at her hands. He knew that he was in danger!
D*mn it, he had just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire!
In the hall, Ji Lingchen got up and was about to go back to the bedroom to help Fang Xiaonuan tidy up. Feng Qi suddenly stopped him and brought him to his husband’s study. Not only was Mayor Ji there, but Old Master Ji was there as well. Both of their expressions were gloomy, and Feng Qi’s eyes were filled with worry. “Lingchen, let’s have a family meeting.”
Ji Lingchen looked around, but he did not see Fang Xiaonuan. He frowned. “Either sister-in-law leaves, or I leave.” Either the three members of the Ji family had a meeting, or both of them left at the same time.
Feng Qi keenly sensed Ji Lingchen’s dissatisfaction because he did not see Fang Xiaonuan here. She explained, “It’s not that I didn’t invite Xiaonuan, it’s because she’s still a child, just like Ji Wen. We can’t let her know what we’re saying today. It’s a matter of life and death for Xiaowen. Please understand where I’m coming from.”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeng Qi’s words were tactful, and her attitude was very humble. Ji Lingchen could not refuse. He finally gave up on the idea of letting his wife participate. If that troublemaker really talked about Ji Wen, she might really snitch on him.
When he thought about how they still stayed in the end, the corners of Ji Lingchen’s mouth curled up slightly. Fang Xiaonuan was too soft. If he moved out, he definitely would not be able to hug her in the future. Furthermore, her scent was very lovely. Unlike those expensive perfumes, her fragrance seemed to spread from the inside out, mesmerizing his heart.
In addition, Ji Lingchen also wanted Fang Xiaonuan to get along well with his family. Now that they had been forced to stay, they could work on the family issue. It was better to solve the problems at home before moving out. During this period of time, they also needed to get used to each other.
Staying in the old residence could also avoid a lot of trouble, like Lin Rou. Due to all these reasons, Ji Lingchen had a lot of reasons to stay. And the only reason he did not want to stay was his nephew, Ji Wen. He did not expect that in the end, the circumstances would make him stay because of him.
Seeing that Ji Lingchen’s attitude had become much friendlier, Feng Qi spoke her concerns. “Xiaowen has been traveling outside for a month. When he came back, he asked for money and stole jewelry. I just checked his records and found that he had stayed in Macau and Cambodia. I’m really worried that she has a huge debt.” Feng Qi showed the three men the bank statements.
Ji Lingchen glanced at the list, then sat down calmly. Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji, on the other hand, were silent. The highest expenditure on the bill was 10 million, and the odd transactions were about 300,000 to 500,000. All of these transactions added up to tens of millions of dollars.
This was not a small expenditure for a twenty-something-year-old child.
