Chapter 315 The Painful Past (22)
Ji Yiyun had finally managed to grab the inheritance, so naturally he was unwilling to hand it over so easily.
"How can there be any inheritance? It cost a lot of money to take care of you three brothers and sisters, and you have to clean and maintain the villa regularly. In addition, you have been advancing money to your father's Ji's Group. That inheritance has long been No more." Ji Yiyun said.
"It doesn't matter. I also brought an accountant here. He will help my aunt figure out how much money is left after spending money." Ji Tingyang looked at the man holding a briefcase behind him.
The man immediately stepped forward and took out his computer from his briefcase, "Ms. Ji, could you please provide the bills you mentioned."
Ji Yiyun hesitated, "I, I don't have a ticket..."
"It doesn't matter. All the bills can be replenished. If that doesn't work, we can also go to the bank and check the statements of the past ten years and compare them one by one." The man said.
Ji Yiyun froze.
"It seems like it will take a long time to settle the account. I'll leave if I have something to do next, and I'll settle the account with my hard-working aunt." Ji Tingyang stood up and paused as soon as he took two steps outside.
As if remembering something, he turned around and said to the accountant: "By the way, this villa was also bought with my parents' inheritance. Please remember to include it in the calculation."
Ji Yiyun's face suddenly turned pale.
……
After Ji Tingyang got the key to the villa, he visited the villa alone.
The front and back yards of the villa had not been cleaned for more than ten years and were overgrown with weeds. When he pushed open the door and entered, thick dust floated into the house with the flowing air.
He walked slowly in the villa, his eyes scanning the familiar layout and furniture around him.
On the big sofa in the living room, Lin Xu always hugged him and watched TV together. She also liked to complain to him about the confusing behavior of the male and female protagonists of TV series.
"In the future, we, Tingyang, should not yell at girls like him, but should be polite and good children." Lin Xu's gentle voice echoed in his ears.
At the large dining table, Lin Xu would always give him a glass of milk after breakfast, "You need to drink more milk to grow taller and strong, so that you can protect your younger brothers and sisters."
The backyard full of weeds also contains memories of him and Lin Xu planting flowers together.
"Tingyang, look, there are loaches here." Lin Xu pointed at the loaches moving in the soil and showed him.
"Mom, don't be afraid, I'll protect you." He thought Lin Xu was afraid of bugs, so he pounced with his little hand, grabbed the loach and threw it far away.
Lin Xu's lips twitched slightly with a smile, and his smile was beautiful and touching. "We, Tingyang, are so great. We are our mother's little heroes."
What did he say at that time?
He said that he would be a little hero who protects his mother for the rest of his life.
But in the end he could do nothing.
There were too many beautiful memories in the villa, and the better they were, the more uncomfortable his chest felt.
It felt like being hit with a heavy hammer, or like being burned by a hot iron block. The pain penetrated deep into his bones and made him unbearable.
Ji Tingyang clenched the palm of his hand tightly and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
He walked to the door of the master bedroom, his palm resting on the door, his dark eyes full of struggle.
After a long while, he made up his mind and pushed the door open and walked in.
What caught my eye was a family photo of their family of five.
His fingertips brushed over the photo frame, picking up a piece of dust, revealing Lin Xu's smiling face.
Ji Tingyang's eyes suddenly became slightly hot, and he quickly looked away without looking any further.
There were too many traces of his parents' life in the room, which easily brought back his memories.
He clutched the clothes on his chest and sweat dripped from his forehead. He didn't dare to stay any longer and left the villa in a hurry.
He lowered his head and bumped into someone on the road next to him in panic.
Ji Tingyang said sorry and was about to leave when he heard a hesitant voice from the man. "Ji Tingyang?"
Ji Tingyang turned around.
I saw the girl's clear watery eyes looking at him, with a hint of happiness and shyness in her eyebrows.
"Do we know each other?" Ji Tingyang frowned slightly.
"I'm Wenli. I used to bring you breakfast when I was in elementary school. We only became friends for a few months, and you changed schools and left." Wenli still feels a little regretful when she thinks about it now.
"It's you..." Ji Tingyang murmured softly.
The girl who looks like his mother.
"Do you remember me?" Wen Li smiled, and the warm sun enveloped her face with a layer of tenderness, "I didn't expect you have grown so tall after not seeing each other for so long. No one will dare to bully you now. ”
In a trance.
Ji Tingyang seemed to hear Lin Xu's gentle and smiling voice in his ear, "We haven't seen each other for so long. We Tingyang have grown so tall. Surely no one dares to bully our younger siblings?"
His breath caught.
Before Wenli could react, her palm was suddenly yanked and crashed into a hard and strong chest.
Ji Tingyang clasped her body tightly and buried his head on her shoulder, trying desperately to relieve the pain he had just suppressed in his heart, "Well... no one dares to bully us anymore..."
There was surprise on Wen Li's face, and an unnatural blush crept up on the tips of her ears, "You, what's wrong with you?"
Are you so happy to see her again?
When he was a child, he was always cold. She once thought that he didn't like to be friends with her. But now it seems that is not the case?
Wen Li's eyes were as crescent-shaped as crescent moons. "Where do you live now? Let's exchange contact information? We can hang out together when we have time in the future."
"Okay."
……
Two more days passed.
Ji Tingyang hired several cleaners to clean the inside and outside of the villa, and then he moved back with Ji Zeqiu and Ji Yuqiao.
Ji Yuqiao had never seen a villa before. She was very curious about the decoration here and walked around inside it.
"Brother, this place is so big. The bathroom is bigger than any bedroom we have lived in before." Ji Yuqiao looked a little excited.
Ji Tingyang smiled and said, "The bedroom on the second floor will be bigger. Let's go take a look?"
"Can I choose a bedroom I like?" Ji Yuqiao asked.
Ji Tingyang paused, "You should live in the second to last room on the second floor."
That bedroom was formerly occupied by my sister.
When Ji Zeqiu heard this, he looked up at Ji Tingyang and silently carried his luggage back to his previous bedroom.
It took a lot of time and energy to get the inheritance back. Ji Tingyang and Ji Yiyun fought a lawsuit for nearly three months before getting the inheritance back from Ji Yiyun.
Not only was the villa she lived in auctioned off, but the Ji Group's shares were also taken back.
"Great, we finally got our parents' things back." To celebrate, Ji Zeqiu also bought a small firecracker.
The fireworks exploded with a "pop" sound, and colorful paper fell from the air.
The three brothers and sister are celebrating the new life they are about to start without having to live in a stable place like before.
However, no one expected that the family relationship between the three of them would break up because of someone.
