Chapter 1775 (2/2)
In fact, did Ji Shaorei really want to smoke?
Of course not, his addiction wasn't that bad this early in the morning. Furthermore, even if he was really addicted to smoking, he wouldn't smoke in front of his aunt. This wasn't just a matter of politeness, but also respect for others.
The reason why Ji Shalei did this was because he wanted to increase his relations.h.i.+p with his aunt.
If he made a mistake and was criticized by his aunt, then it would be more like he was a family.
He had to admit that after so many years of being in the business, although his life wasn't that grand, at the very least, she had mastered a pair of Fiery Eyes of Truth and was able to see through his intentions with a single glance.
On this point, it was similar to that of his father and second uncle.
His father and the others fought hard in the government and reached a high position one step at a time. During this time, they experienced all sorts of scheming and scheming. They met all sorts of people, giving them the ability to see through others with a single glance.
As for my aunt, I have been through a lot in the Merchant Sea, and during this time, she was also accompanied by hards.h.i.+ps and plots. If I can't see through others' thoughts, how could she have come to this point?
However, even if the aunt saw through what her second brother was thinking, but after this criticism, they became even closer.
After they chatted for a while, the little uncle-in-law Chu Kangceng said, ”You guys go ahead and chat, I have a topic to study.”
Ji Feng and Gu Li immediately nodded. Just as they were about to stand up, Ji Nanyue said, ”You don't need to care about him. He's just like this. Once he's busy, he can't care about anything else.”
Chu Kangcai smiled, said h.e.l.lo to Ji Feng and the others, turned around and went upstairs.
However, Ji Feng did not mind at all. He could tell that this young uncle-in-law was not the kind of person who liked to be courteous to others. He was most likely a scholar or a researcher who was obsessed with his own field.
This kind of man actually gave people a lot of peace of mind.
Ji Feng couldn't help but think that his aunt had a good home to return to. Perhaps, it was precisely because her father and the others weren't in a hurry to have her return because her husband wasn't a cunning person. A person like her definitely wouldn't bully her.
”Shao Lei, I heard from Dong Fang that you joined the security department of Wida Group?” As soon as Chu Kangcun left, Ji Nanyue got down to business.
”Mm, since we are in trouble now, then I'll just head straight into the inner parts of the Widal Corporation. It'll be more convenient for me to do whatever I want.” Ji Shaorei nodded, ”However, Little Feng will be outside, and will be responsible for your safety.”
”Shao Lei, tell me the truth. Why did you two brothers come to the United States this time?” However, Ji Nanyue did not continue to Ji Shaolei's words. Instead, she directly asked, ”Shaolei, I believe that you wouldn't lie to my aunt, right?”
”This …” Ji Shalei and Ji Feng looked at each other before they bitterly smiled and nodded. ”Since little aunt asked like that, I definitely won't lie …”
After a pause, Ji Shalei said, ”Aunt, grandpa he …”
Ji Feng noticed that after Ji Shaolei finished speaking, his aunt Ji Nanyue's pupils suddenly constricted. Her face immediately changed, and she subconsciously clasped her hands on her knees.
He immediately thought to himself, ”There's hope!”
Aunt's actions were obviously an extremely nervous subconscious reaction. This meant that she was still worried about the lordmaster in her heart.
”Your grandfather, he … ”What's wrong?” Ji Nanyue asked. If one were to pay close attention, one would notice that her voice was slightly trembling.
”Grandfather is already old, maybe … There's not much time left. ” Ji Feng said.
”...” Ji Nanyue was silent.
After a moment, she asked, ”Is this what the doctor said?”
Ji Feng nodded. In fact, this was not what the doctor said, but what he said himself. However, he was certain that the doctor was not as accurate as he was.
Back then when the old man was in critical condition, Ji Feng had used his special effect electric current as well as bioelectric current to heal the old man as if nothing had happened. However, he was not a G.o.d after all, and the old man's old age coupled with his poor health had caused him to be unable to withstand the corrosion of time, even with bioelectric current.
Humans would always age.
Back then, Ji Feng had determined that there wouldn't be any problems within ten years, but now, three years had already pa.s.sed.
However, no one could guarantee that something unexpected would happen in the next few years. After all, there were too many unpredictable things in this world.
Thus, Ji Feng's words were not an exaggeration.
After saying this, Ji Feng stared closely at Ji Nanyue's face, watching the change in her expression.
The expression on her aunt's face was the true reaction of her inner thoughts. And what she was thinking in her heart, she had already decided. This time, Ji Feng and the others were trying to convince her to return home, whether she would succeed or not …
