Chapter 657 - Learned Grat.i.tude

When Ji Feng and Bai Zhu returned home, Ji Zhenhua was still busy with work and hadn't returned yet. Only his mother was at home, so when Ji Feng and Bai Zhu returned, Ji Zhenhua was still busy with work and hadn't returned yet.

According to his mother, Xiao Sumei, other than eating and sleeping was Ji Zhenhua's own time, all other times Ji Zhenhua's mind was filled with work.

There was no helping it, the country was too big and there were too many things to do.

Even though Ji Zhenhua had yet to ascend to the next level, everyone knew that a trend had already taken shape within the Party. Ji Zhenhua only needed more time to be tested.

Of course, there would definitely be some unforeseen events, but in truth, these were not Ji Zhenhua's main priorities. The country and his work were his main priorities, and while it might be a little fake to say that he was completely indifferent to fame and fortune, at Ji Zhenhua's level, his character was definitely not something that ordinary people could understand and imagine.

It was rare for Xiao Sumei to see her son come back. She was very happy as she held her son's hand and could not finish his words.

After a while, Xiao Sumei seemed to have thought of something. However, she seemed to want to say something but hesitated, seemingly hesitant to do so.

Ji Feng couldn't help but ask, ”Mom, is something the matter?”

Xiao Sumei replied, ”It's nothing much.”

Ji Feng laughed, ”Mom, I'm not a child so you can't hide anything from me. If you have anything to say, just say it. While I'm still in Beijing, I'll help you settle the matter first before leaving.”

Ji Feng understood his mother very well. The two of them had been living together for more than ten years, how could he not know his mother's personality?

Since his mother was hesitating, it meant that she was likely in a difficult situation. Ji Feng decided to help her solve the problem as he guessed that she might have encountered some trouble.

Hearing her son's words, Xiao Sumei said, ”It's like this, yesterday I received a call from your second uncle …”

After saying that, she paused and looked at her son's expression. This was because she knew how much Ji Feng hated the people and events of the Xiao family. In fact, not only Ji Feng, she felt the same way too.

However, when she realized that Ji Feng's expression was normal, Xiao Sumei continued, ”Your second uncle said that your grandmother's health isn't very good recently, so your mother intends to return for a few days.”

”Oh!”

Ji Feng didn't have much of a reaction when he heard that. He only nodded his head and replied, ”Okay. Once you've made your arrangements, I'll accompany you back. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Sumei was overjoyed, ”Really?!”

”Of course I wouldn't lie to you!”

Ji Feng laughed, ”However, I have to tell you in advance that I will only go to second uncle's house. I will not go back to the Xiao manor. Furthermore, I don't have time for this one or two days, how about a few more days?”

However, Xiao Sumei nodded happily and said, ”Alright! Besides, your grandparents are already living with your second uncle, so your mother is going to your second uncle's house instead of going back to the Xiao family … Son, I really don't know how happy mom would be if you can go back with mom! ”

Looking at his mother's happy expression, Ji Feng could not help but feel a little guilty. This was because the last time he returned to Mang s.h.i.+ County, when he went to the Xiao Clan Village, there was always anger and resentment in Ji Feng's heart. After all, the things that happened to him when he was young made him unable to have any interest in the Xiao Clan Village at all.

Needless to say, after arriving at the Xiao manor, every blade of gra.s.s and tree seemed to be constantly reminding him of the bullying and humiliation he had suffered.

And it was because of this that Ji Feng's expression was extremely cold. In reality, that was not intentional, but the true meaning in his heart.

However, his actions at that time made it difficult for his mother. After all, no matter what, she also had her parents, and their blood was thicker than water. She couldn't just ignore them like they were nothing.

”Mom, actually, after I returned from Mang s.h.i.+ County last time, I thought it through.” Ji Feng sat beside his mother and smiled, ”In the past, Grandfather only chased us out because of face, but Grandmother's heart was still very good. And second uncle, he was also a very honest man, he was also very kind to us back then.”

Xiao Sumei nodded and said, ”That's right, that person from your grandfather … Sigh! Forget about him. However, your grandma feels heartache for your mother, and your second uncle as well. Actually, your other uncles and aunts aren't that heartless either. They're just a little sn.o.bbish, and that's because they've been scared of poverty all these years … ”

”Mom!” You sure are bullying people! ” Before Xiao Sumei could finish her sentence, Ji Feng could not help but laugh, ”Even if I am your son, you still can't coax me like this. That's right, back then second uncle's family conditions were bad, but what about first uncle? ”And little aunt …”

”You child!”

Xiao Sumei was immediately exposed by Ji Feng's words and glared at him angrily.

Ji Feng laughed, ”Mom! ”Actually, what I mean is that after these few years have pa.s.sed, my heart is no longer angry. Moreover, thinking about it carefully, it's not really that incomprehensible.”
