“I don’t want to find a girlfriend. Auntie Shen had sex with me when I was drunk. Then I thought that, as you just said, I needed a girlfriend, so I married her, but now look at how we ended up?” Ji Hongwen said as he filled the glass with wine. “Some days ago when you were not around, Shen Heru came back to make a scene a few times, claiming that she had devoted herself to the Ji family for so many years but ended up being driven out without even a penny, so she threatened she would sue me if I didn’t give her several billion yuan.”
Ji Nuan’s face turned cold. “She secretly fed you those chronic poisons. If I send those drug test records to court, she’ll be in serious trouble. How dare she sue you? Sheng Yihan didn’t stop her from disturbing you?”
“I have no idea. Now Sheng Yihan has controlled over the Sheng family. Although he didn’t break up with his mother, he was never close to her. I don’t think he has much communication with his mother. Obviously Shen Heru’s life is not bad now, but she came to the Ji family to make trouble several times. She insisted on seeing me every time she came, crying while talking to me in person, and I ignored her and had the security drive her away.”
With that, Ji Hongwen sighed. “I don’t know what was wrong with me back then. Why did I marry such kind of a woman? Look how peaceful my current life is. When I miss my kid, I call you and you’ll come back to accompany me. When I want to live a free life, no one will bother me. I can have a drink if I want to. In the past, I didn’t even dare to hug a woman’s waist when I was socializing outside. Now, at least, my life in my later years is quite comfortable…”
The corner of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched, but then she thought that Ji Hongwen was only in his fifties and it was easy for him to live a comfortable life.
Although the Ji family wasn’t large, life would go on. Besides, Ji Hongwen was the boss of the Ji Corporation. Even she had so many social activities, let alone Ji Hongwen who was already an old bird in the business circle. His life was probably much more wonderful than hers.
She had been worrying Ji Hongwen would be lonely, but now it seemed that she worried too much.
He raised her who was not his own daughter for so many years without regret, and now he should enjoy his life.
After dinner, Ji Nuan went straight to the study.
She hung the painting back to the original position, stood in front of the painting, and looked at it for a long time when the door of the study was opened, and Ji Hongwen came in. He paused when he saw the painting, then jerked around and stared at the painting in shock.
“So this is the painting you got in Beijing?” Ji Hongwen said and came over, still staring at the painting. Obviously, this painting aroused a lot of feelings from him.
“Yes, after all, I saw it at home when I was little when Mother often carried me to play in your study. What impressed me most was this painting. I saw it in Beijing and decided to take it back and hang it back here.”
“I really didn’t want to sell this painting and had been regretting selling it for many years. I didn’t expect to see it hanging back here in my lifetime.” Ji Hongwen looked at it for a while and said with a smile, “Nuan Nuan, it must be expensive now, right?”
“It’s not cheap.” Ji Nuan didn’t deny it.
She didn’t pay for this painting anyway.
Ji Hongwen had been looking at the painting. He must be reminiscing something because of this painting. Ji Nuan walked out after a while. She didn’t plan to stay in the Ji family tonight and wanted to go back to Yuehu Bay to rest for a few days.
Before leaving, Ji Nuan chatted with Auntie Qin for a while in the living room downstairs. When she was about to leave, Ji Hongwen came down the stairs. Seeing her, he said in a low voice, “Nuan Nuan, come up, I want to tell you something.”
Ji Nuan paused and looked up at him.
