Chapter 895: Taking Blessings for Granted

Outside the door, Jian Yining pleaded bitterly, but no matter what he said, it was useless; he was still driven away by Ji Yingjie.

He looked back every few steps as he got into his car and left.

Ji Yingjie returned and shouted upstairs: "Xuanxuan, help Wan'er pack her luggage. I'm taking her and the children back to the Ji Family."

Shi Youxuan:...

Wan'er:...

Of course, the two of them did not pack any luggage, because Wan'er did not want to leave.

Seeing the two of them come downstairs empty-handed, Ji Yingjie immediately glared: "You're still reluctant to part with a man like that? You're already divorced, why stay? Can't you have some backbone and be tougher?"

Wan'er: "Little Aunt, I can't leave. I'm used to living here; I'm not used to changing places."

Ji Yingjie said disdainfully: "Give me a break. You grew up in A Country, and you were able to get used to studying and working in the United States for so many years. You've only lived in Jiangzhou for a few years, and now you're not used to changing places?"

"Come with me, you will like the Ji Family."

Wan'er continued to find excuses: "No, I can't leave. I can't let the children not see their father; that would be too cruel to them."

Ji Yingjie: "What's so great about a father? You bring the children back with me, and I'll find them plenty of fathers in a minute—some to play with them, some to teach them and tell them stories, and some specifically to keep you happy."

"It's hard to find a three-legged toad in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Why hang yourself from one tree? You only want this one man for your whole life? Have you never seen a man before..."

Wan'er:...

Not satisfied with just lecturing one niece, Ji Yingjie took the opportunity to bring the other one into it as well.

She pointed at Shi Youxuan: "And you, you're also a spineless thing. What's so good about that Sheng Hanyu? He wears an icy face that hasn't melted in ten thousand years all day long. Haven't you seen enough of it after all these years?"

"Take Ranran, leave the boy to him, and we'll all go back together."

Shi Youxuan: "I'm not going with you."

Wan'er: "I'm not going either."

Ji Yingjie: "You stubborn girls, I can't get through to you? Forget about Xuanxuan, she won't suffer anywhere, but Wan'er, come back with me. Go back and be a high and mighty Queen. If anyone makes you angry, just behead them. Apologize? Apologize my foot."

Wan'er really couldn't accept her Little Aunt's tyrannical personality.

Since she couldn't accept it but was too embarrassed to refuse clearly, Shi Youxuan saw this and helped her refuse.

"Little Aunt, please spare us. Wan'er won't go back with you. She still has Jian Yining in her heart; she can't let him go."

Just as Ji Yingjie was about to flare up, Shi Youxuan continued: "Don't be impatient yet, let me finish. Everyone has their own way of living. We didn't grow up in the Ji Family, so we can't accept your lifestyle. Just like if you were made to live our life, you wouldn't be used to it either."

"You don't have children, so you don't understand the pain of being separated from your own flesh and blood from a young age. I won't say much more, just look at Nianyin and you'll understand."

After Nianyin and Lao Qi divorced, she basically never smiled.

Although Ji Meiyin is Nianyin's child in name, she has always grown up by Ji Yingjie's side.

Even though she is a very beautiful girl, Nianyin doesn't like her and never takes the initiative to see the child.

All day long, it's nothing but work, work, work; she has lived her life as a workaholic without any emotions!

Ji Yingjie then stopped insisting.

"It's fine if you don't want to go back with me, but Wan'er shouldn't forgive him so easily. You have to make him suffer a bit so he can learn his lesson."

"Oh, right."

She took two pieces of paper out of her clothes and handed them to Wan'er: "That unreliable idiot of a baby-daddy of yours said this is the chat history from that cheap woman's phone, which can prove he didn't sleep with that woman. Take a look."

Wan'er was surprised: "Didn't you tear them up?"

Shi Youxuan: "Yeah, we saw you tear them up with our own eyes. Can you do magic tricks?"

Just now, the two of them had been hiding behind the curtains upstairs and saw everything.

Ji Yingjie was smug: "Of course, a mere parlor trick, not worth mentioning."

The next day.

Jian Yining came again.

This time, Ji Yingjie was still guarding the door: "Jian Yining, how can you be so thick-skinned? This isn't your home anymore, what are you here for again?"

"Little Aunt, I want to see Wan'er. I owe her an apology."

"I already made it very clear to you yesterday: our Wan'er doesn't need an apology. What's the use of an apology? You make a mistake, you change, and then you make it again?"

Jian Yining was left speechless.

He took a letter of self-reflection out of his pocket and handed it over with both hands: "Little Aunt, I wrote this seriously. Please pass it on to Wan'er."

Ji Yingjie: "Are you stupid? I tore up yesterday's, and you still dare to hand it to me today? Aren't you afraid I'll tear it up again?"

"I'm not afraid. The fault is mine; I won't have any complaints no matter what you do."

"If you tear it up this time, I'll write another one next time. If you tear it up again, I'll write again, until the day you get tired of it."

Ji Yingjie felt this answer was acceptable.

"Hmph! Do you think I'll tear it up just because you tell me to? Why should I listen to you?" Ji Yingjie rolled her eyes, snatched it, turned around, and went back inside. "Bang!" The gate closed.

"Here, the apology letter sent by that guy. Hypocritical."

Wan'er read it and wanted to go out, but her Little Aunt didn't agree.

"Let him cool his heels outside and let his head calm down."

Jian Yining stood in the courtyard for a full two hours before leaving.

From then on.

He came every day. If Wan'er wouldn't see him, he would just stand in the courtyard and wait.

It was the dead of winter, the coldest time of the year.

The northwest wind blew on his face like a knife. He would stomp his feet from time to time and cup his hands to his mouth to blow warm air on them.

Wan'er stood by the window the whole time, hiding behind the curtains so he couldn't see her, but she could see her husband... no, her ex-husband!

She couldn't bear it.

Wan'er admitted that she was exceptionally spineless.

It wasn't just her aunt and older sister; even her sister-in-law Jian Yixin told her not to be soft-hearted and to keep Jian Yining on a string.

He was only so willful and reckless because he had been spoiled by Wan'er in the past.

One week later.

On this day, Jian Yining stood in the courtyard as usual, waiting for Wan'er to permit him to enter the main gate.

"Mommy, play with Youyou!" Youyou came over to hug her leg, attempting to drag her away.

The children had called out to her many times, but Mommy just wouldn't move, standing by the window and staring at who knows what.

Niuniu and the others were short, so through the window, they could only see the blue sky and white clouds, unable to see their father freezing like a dog on the first floor.

Taotao and Mengmeng also came over to help; the three little girls hugged her legs and tugged at her arms, and although the three children were small, it was impossible for Wan'er to remain completely motionless while they all exerted force together.

She was afraid of falling and crushing the children, so when her figure swayed, she was immediately spotted by Jian Yining.

"Wan'er!"

"Wan'er! I was wrong!"

"Wan'er, I don't dare hope for your forgiveness; I just want you to hear my apology. I was wrong, it was all my fault, I'm a bastard, I've wronged you..."

Jian Yining saw a flash of Wan'er by the window and immediately guessed she was peeking at him.

With this shout of his, things got lively.

Hearing their father's voice, the daughters were immediately overjoyed.

"Daddy, Daddy."

"Daddy is outside, I'm going to find Daddy."

"Mommy, come with us."

"Right, Mommy, come together."

Youyou and Taotao had already run to the doorway, but Mengmeng still held onto Mommy's leg without letting go, reminding the other two little ones.

So they ran back, and the three of them together dragged Mommy toward the outside.

"Stop messing around, you stay in the room obediently, you aren't allowed to go anywhere, or else I'll spank you," Wan'er threatened them.

"Not afraid."

"Mommy is trying to scare the Baobaos."

"Keep going!"

The three daughters were clever little spirits, and they were very united.

Dealing with them all at once, she found it easy to be overwhelmed.
