Fang Xiaonuan was still in a daze, while Ji Lingchen’s expression was already dark. Someone as smart as him could tell from this that they might not be able to leave today.
Then, Old Master Ji quickly appeared in the living room. He was holding his walking stick and chasing after Ji Wen, seeming like he wanted to beat him up. Thanks to his grandson, it appeared that his legs were still working fine.
Fang Xiaonuan felt that Old Master Ji was running toward her aggressively. She was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her, so she sought her husband’s protection. She slowly approached her husband and said softly, “Husband, I’m afraid…”
Her whisper went right to his heart. Ji Lingchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He pulled his wife behind him to protect her from getting accidentally hurt.
Still, she was very curious about what was happening. Even though she hid behind her husband, she could not quell her curiosity. Fang Xiaonuan grabbed her husband’s arms with both hands and poked her head out to see what was going on.
Old Master Ji walked in front of the two of them. He was so tired, and he was panting heavily. He pointed at Ji Wen, who was behind Ji Lingchen and said, “Get out of the way. I want to beat this b*tard grandson to death!”
Ji Lingchen held Fang Xiaonuan’s hand and led her out of the way so that his father could beat up his nephew.
“Uncle, uncle.” Ji Wen looked at his menacing grandfather. He wanted Ji Lingchen to help him. Unfortunately, Ji Lingchen was paying no attention to him. Thus, Ji Wen looked at Fang Xiaonuan, “Fang Xiaonuan, you’re going to stand there and watch me get beaten up? You’re too disloyal!”
Fang Xiaonuan peered around her husband, her eyes innocent. She had no idea what had happened this morning.
Old Master Ji would not really hit his grandson with the walking stick. He was just putting on an act to scare Ji Wen. He calmed down and explained what had happened to the confused crowd. Ji Wen had asked him for money early in the morning. He had asked for too much, so he did not give it to him. In the end, this unfilial grandson had used his favorite blue and white porcelain vase as a threat. Ji Wen had threatened to smash the vase if he did not get the money.
Old Master Ji could not bear to see his precious vase in the hands of his grandson. He was so frightened that he had agreed to Ji Wen’s request with wide eyes. However, he had not expected Ji Wen to push his luck. He said shamelessly, “Grandpa, fifty million isn’t enough. I want one hundred million.”
This made Old Master Ji so angry that his blood pressure soared. He could not deal with his grandson, so he could only temporarily compromise. “I’ll give it to you. Put the vase down.”
“Impossible. I’ll return it to you when I get the money. Let me play with it first.” After saying that, Ji Wen turned the vase back and forth between his hands. After a short while, they heard a shattering sound. The grandfather and grandson looked at the blue and white porcelain vase that now lay on the ground. It had been smashed to pieces.
Old Master Ji was shocked. His beloved porcelain vase was gone just like that! “Ji Wen!” Old Master Ji gritted his teeth and shouted his grandson’s name.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Wen immediately ran away. Old Master Ji chased after him with his walking stick, wanting to beat him up. This was what had happened just now.
After learning what had happened, before Ji Lingchen and his wife could say anything, another scream rang out. “Ahhhhh! Ji Wen!”
Fang Xiaonuan heard Feng Qi’s angry cry and her heart trembled. She looked at her friend who was in trouble and felt sorry for him. He was going to be in big trouble!
Ji Wen retreated to the door of the house, as if he was ready to escape at any moment. Feng Qi jogged down the stairs holding a necklace. She pointed at Ji Wen and asked angrily, “Ji Wen, where are the pearls on my pearl necklace?”
Fang Xiaonuan looked carefully at the necklace. The pearl necklace, which had once looked shiny and noble, was now bare. Only the chain was left. Everyone looked at the man at the door, and Ji Wen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Emmmm, I sold it for money.”
Mayor Ji also appeared with his broken cup. “Ji Wen, why is my cup broken?”
Ji Wen said, “Dad, let me explain this to you. I went to steal mom’s necklace and accidentally touched your award-winning Honorary Cup. I thought the cup looked rather sturdy, but it broke when I dropped it.”
D*mn it. Ji Wen had offended everyone in the house in just one morning. He did not dare to offend Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan because he was afraid. Ji Wen, who was closer to the door, wanted to run away. In just a few seconds, Ji Lingchen had caught him.
On the sofa, Old Master Ji, Mayor Ji, and Feng Qi were sitting in a row. They looked at Ji Wen, who was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, while Ji Lingchen and his wife were sitting on the other sofa.
Old Master Ji said, “Lingchen, you better teach this b*stard a good lesson.”
Mayor Ji did not want to beat his son up, so he did not say anything. He also wanted his younger brother to beat Ji Wen up.
