Chapter 23: Beacon fire and wolf smoke (1)
"What did you say!"
Ji Xu suddenly slapped the rice bowl in his hand on the table, "You want to sell the old house?"
Ji Shuyi, who was staring at him, seemed to feel nothing. He just raised his eyelids and said lightly: "I forgot all the etiquette my father taught you?"
"Don't mention grandpa." Ji Xu's aura shrank after hearing Ji Tailin, then sat up straight and said calmly: "I don't agree, I don't agree with you to sell the old house."
Originally, I had a good breakfast, but I planned to go back to each place after I had eaten, but I couldn't say when I would see you again. But halfway through, Ji Shuyi suddenly said that he had planned to sell the old house and the buyers had found it.
This naturally made Ji Xu angry. The Ji family's old house was assigned to Ji Shuheng's name. Now that he has passed away, Ji Hanshuang should have the final say. What is Ji Shuyi's doing? Originally, Ji Tailin's property was taken away by him, and his valuable antique collection was also in the hands of Ji Shuyi. Now he is thinking about this house again, and he is really greedy.
Ji Xu naturally won't say these things clearly. Ji Shuyi said it right. Ji Tailin passed away from Ji Xu's politeness, and he couldn't say a lot of swear words, just thinking about it in his heart. Perhaps he smiled on the surface, but was more appropriate in his heart.
"Do you disagree?" Ji Shuyi took a sip of millet porridge and raised his eyebrows, "Is the house yours?"
"That's not yours, either." Ji Xu refused to give in and faced tit.
Everyone else here looked at him. Although Ji Hanshuang's face was not good-looking, she just pulled Ji Xu's sleeve and said nothing, because she knew that Ji Shuyi was basically confident every time he spoke. Ji Lian was even more arrogant and dared not show up. He knew Ji Shuyi's methods.
"Ha." Ji Shuyi put down the bowls and chopsticks, and just looked up and glanced at Ji Xu.
I felt like I was locked, and an eagle with iron claws above my head was hitting down at any time. Ji Xu's breathing tightened instantly. Ji Shuyi's eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if they were about to pierce his heart. But suddenly, in the blink of an eye, the feeling suddenly disappeared and became calm.
"Look at this." Ji Shuyi handed Ji Xu an ordinary notebook, "You should know the big brother's words."
Ji Xu was stunned, frowned and reached out to take it, "This is."
The paper is very simple, "The old house of Ji's family belongs to Ji Shuyi."
Ji Xu was naturally familiar with Ji Shuheng's signature, but this made him feel a little puzzled and seemed too joking.
"This," Ji Xu stumbled and stumbled, "It seems there is no legal proof."
"Oh."
Ji Shuyi let out an inexplicable laugh, and then said, "Brother said he gave it to me, that's mine, I have the final say. What do you think?"
Ji Xu put the paper on the table, leaned back to the back of the chair, and looked at Ji Hanshuang beside him, who shook his head gently.
After laughing at himself, Ji Xu said, "Can I ask, you are not short of money, why did you sell this house?"
Ji Shuyi wiped his mouth with a tissue, but without answering, instead asked: "You're graduation. What's your job now?"
"Police." Ji Xu lowered his eyelids and then smiled, "Be a policeman in the Windy City."
"Well, it's not bad." Ji Shuyi stood up and said to Ji Xu and Ji Hanshuang: "The main house where the eldest brother is is not in the contract, so no one will disturb you. This place is only owned by the Ji family, and other places are considered buyers. I'll talk about these to the buyer."
"If the food is ready, there is no need to clean it up. Someone will come to clean it up later." After Ji Shuyi said that, he picked up the black suit jacket from the back of the chair and walked out first. Ji Lian and Aunt Kuiping of the Third Aunt Kuiping also quickly stood up, nodded to Ji Xu and Ji Han, and followed him.
Ji Xu watched Uncle San's family leave, his eyes only looked at the patio outside the hall, and his eyes fell on the tall sycamore tree. Although the weather was so cold and a few more snowfalls had fallen, the leaves on the tree had not yet fallen out and rustled with the wind.
"When will you leave?" Ji Hanshuang pursed his lips and asked at Ji Xu.
Ji Xu's eyes moved and he turned to look at Ji Hanshuang. Although she seemed to be a little indifferent on her face, the reluctance in her eyes was very strong.
"This house." Ji Xu's voice was a little astringent, "Why did you sell it?"
Ji Han pursed her lips tightly. How could she not feel the reluctance and attachment in Ji Xu's heart? This is a place they were familiar with when they were childhood, a place that sheltered from wind and rain for more than 20 years, a place that was truly full of memories, and a place that could truly be called home.
She didn't know why Ji Shuheng gave Ji Shuyi the house, and she didn't know why Ji Shuyi sold it easily. Although the main house was still retained, it would not only make Ji Xu feel pain in his heart, but also not feel uncomfortable in her heart.
"Forget it, I'll buy it back when I get rich in the future." Ji Han gritted his teeth and his eyes turned red. Although he knew it must be expensive, he still said so, more of a comfort in his heart and a comfort to Ji Xu.
"Yes." Ji Xu's eyes, which were originally a little disappointed, lit up, and then he suddenly stood up, "I can buy it back."
He quickly took out his cell phone and called Ji Shuyi. Ji Xu thought a lot at this moment. Although he had no money, Cheng Yuan had. Cheng Yuan was from a noble family and could borrow it from him. At worst, he could pay it back slowly. He still had his own skills and could definitely pay it back.
"Say." The phone was answered, and Ji Shuyi's plain words came clearly.
Ji Xu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "How much do you want to sell the old house? I can buy it."
"Ha." The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then Ji Shuyi's obvious sneering voice came, "Billion, what are you buying?"
Ji Xu was stunned, his fingers trembled slightly, "How much do you say?"
"Be good at being a good person." Ji Shuyi finally said lightly.
Ji Xu looked at the hanging-up phone and clucked his phone.
"What's wrong?" Ji Hanshuang asked quickly when he saw Ji Xu's face was wrong.
"This old bastard." Ji Xu said gritted his teeth, "He said he sold 1 billion, grass!"
Finally, he couldn't help it. Ji Xu swears and holds the door frame with one hand. He feels a little dizzy because of Ji Shu's loyalty.
"It seems that he is determined to sell it to someone else and will not let you interfere." Ji Hanshuang walked to Ji Xu and said casually, "Okay, we should leave too."
"call."
Ji Xu breathed a long sigh and said softly: "You have a tight time, you can leave first, I'll wait a moment."
Ji Hanshuang looked at Ji Xu, his lips moved, and finally sighed softly, then picked up his backpack and walked out the door.
When he was about to reach the corner of the screen wall, Ji Han turned around and looked around. Ji Xu leaned alone on the red painted wooden door frame. The dark gray suit was straight, but it felt lonely. His beautiful side face contrasted with the snow scene in front of the hall, which looked particularly beautiful.
"It looks so good." Ji Han smiled and left with big strides.
Ji Xu raised his head and looked at the engravings that could still be seen in the door frame above him, although the door frame above him was covered with red paint. They were carved by his childhood naughtyness.
