    Feng Qi said directly, “Lingchen, don’t leave with Xiaonuan. Help me discipline Ji Wen!”


    Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan straightened her back. What? Not letting her leave? “No, sister-inw, my husband has already bought our new house. We have to leave now.” After saying this, Fang Xiaonuan naively held Ji Lingchen’s hand. She did not want him to meddle in the family’s affairs so that she could quickly move.


    Ji Lingchen did not move at all, remaining seated on the sofa. He allowed the young woman to hold his big palm. No one knew what he was thinking.


    Everyone in the Ji family knew that the person with the strongest desire to move away was Fang Xiaonuan. The reason she wanted to move away was that she did not get along with Feng Qi. And now, everyone in the family wanted Ji Lingchen to stay because Ji Lingchen was Ji Wen’s nemesis. With him around, Ji Wen would not be able to cause trouble.


    If this was in the past, Ji Wen would have jumped three feet in the air upon hearing that his uncle would be disciplining him. Today, he was unusually quiet, as if this was his ultimate goal.


    In order to make Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan stay, Feng Qi even suggested to Fang Xiaonuan, “Xiaonuan, can I speak with you alone?”


    Fang Xiaonuan refused her request without thinking. She stopped tugging at Ji Lingchen’s hand and instead sat beside him, hugging his arm. “No, just say what you want to say. If there’s a misunderstanding, my husband can still exin it to me.”


    Ji Lingchen had a smile on his face today. He was very satisfied with his new title.


    Feng Qi knew that this was Fang Xiaonuan being sarcastic. She had indeed done something wrong, “Xiaonuan, stay at home with Lingchen! Help me discipline Ji Wen. What happened between us was my fault. I apologize to you. From now on, we’ll get along well.” As soon as she finished saying that, the entire living room fell into silence. Everyone’s breathing became softer as well.


    Fang Xiaonuan waspletely dumbfounded. Feng Qi was such an arrogant person, and now she was apologizing to her?


    Ji Lingchen had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart. His Adam’s apple bobbed. “Sister-inw, what about my inws?”


    Fortunately for her husband’s reminder, Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes gradually regained their focus. She looked at Feng Qi with determined eyes, waiting for her reply.


    Feng Qi swallowed. After thinking for a moment, she replied, “I will personally go to them and apologize.” Some parents would do everything to create a good learning environment for their children. Some people were willing to do anything for their children. Feng Qi was also a mother. For her son, she was willing to lower her pride to apologize to her sister-inw and her family.


    ......


    Whether it was Ji Wen breaking the blue and white porcin vase, stealing her pearls, or identally breaking her husband’s cup, these minor matters did not matter to her. The major issue was that Ji Wen was short of money. As the only child of the Ji family, he naturally had ess to the family’s expenses. His monthly allowance was also in the hundreds of thousands or millions. Buying a car or a house could be done through thepany’s ount, so he would not need to spend his own money at all.


    But Ji Wen was still short of money. Why? Feng Qi had a terrifying thought. Perhaps, her son had a gambling addiction and had fallen into a high-interest loan. He could not afford to pay back the loan, so this was the only way. Thinking of this, Feng Qi was scared out of her wits. Someone had to take good care of Ji Wen. In the Ji family, apart from Ji Lingchen, no one had any hope of changing him.


    Feng Qi was willing to sacrifice her pride to keep the couple under this roof for the sake of her son’s future. She was also willing to put down her pride and apologize for her previous mistakes. She had changed so much. If Fang Xiaonuan refused again, it would seem that she was being unreasonable.


    Fang Xiaonuan did not know what to do. She could only look at her husband, hoping that he would give her an idea.


    Ji Lingchen took the opportunity to coax his wife. “Now that the conflict between you and sister-inw has been resolved, and sister-inw is willing to apologize to mom and dad, why don’t we just stay at home?”


    Fang Xiaonuan frowned slightly. She grabbed Ji Lingchen’s arm. “But I still want to leave.”


    “Now, there is someone of your age to y with you. There are also servants who will take care of your meals three times a day. It’s also more convenient to have a chauffeur. If we move out, you’ll be the only one at home when I go on business trips.” Ji Lingchen paused. He saw that Fang Xiaonuan was a little moved, so he continued to focus on the things she cared about the most. “Besides, if we move out, mom and dad will be worried that you’re having a bad time in the Ji family. They know very well that you’re a person who likes to report good news but doesn’t report bad news. They will definitely be careful and make wild guesses.”


    Old Master Ji also said something to persuade her to stay. “If you don’t want to live with us in the front yard, there’s an empty loft in the backyard. You and Lingchen can move in there.”


    Now that everyone was persuading her to stay, Fang Xiaonuan’s determination to move out wavered.


    Ji Lingchen backpedaled, hoping to persuade his wife. “We can stay at home for a while. When we get bored, we can move out, okay?”
