Chapter 09 A thrilling battle 4
The days of love are sweet.
Time seems to have wings and flies by in the blink of an eye.
Summer vacation came in a blink of an eye. Just when I was worried about the separation during the vacation, Wei Jimo brought me good news.
Thanks to his proper arrangements, during the school's annual routine holiday social practice activities, Anyang, he and I were assigned to Wei's Group for internship.
Wei's Group is very large, but because of Wei Jimo, the three of us were assigned to the same group. Although we were criticized by department heads for our lack of experience and felt exhausted because of the heavy work, overall, this time was pleasant and short.
"Ahhh, I'm so tired." I stretched exaggeratedly, turned around and asked Su Anyang, "Anyang, after work, what should we eat?"
"Ji Mo, look at this little foodie, he only thinks about eating all day long." Su Anyang reached out and tapped my forehead, looking like he couldn't do anything to me. "If you keep going like this, someone will be worried about not being able to support you in the future."
"Don't worry, sister. I have no problem raising her." Someone gave me a critical look and said with disdain, "I'm just worried that if she keeps eating like this, she won't be able to wear her clothes anymore."
"Hey, hey, hey, you two siblings can't behave like this." I shouted angrily.
I looked down at myself and found that I was slim, healthy and beautiful. Everything was just right!
"You guys team up to bully me, be careful or I'll tell Mother Wei about it."
These days, Wei Jimo's heart knot seems to have not been untied yet.
Since he left Su's house on Su Anyang's birthday last time, he has never visited Su's mother again. However, his relationship with Su Anyang has become closer.
The brother and sister have been separated for more than ten years, but their relationship has not been damaged by time and separation at all.
In private situations where there is no one around, Wei Jimo always calls me "sister", and it sounds very natural, which makes Su Anyang tease me about this every time, and asks me to call her sister too.
"Yining..." Su Anyang became a little uncomfortable when he saw me mention Wei Jimo's taboo.
I know she is worried that Wei Jimo will be angry with me because of this, but I think that some problems need to be solved sooner or later. I can't let him continue to be willful just because he doesn't like me.
"Sister, it's okay." Seeing this, Wei Jimo smiled somewhat unnaturally, but not as repulsive as before.
He was about to speak when the phone suddenly rang, interrupting his words.
"Grandpa, weren't you recuperating overseas? Why did you come back so suddenly?" Looking at the caller ID, Wei Jimo's face changed slightly. He turned on the hands-free mode of his phone and said to the other end of the phone.
"If I don't come back, are you going to fly to the sky?" A strong voice came from the other end of the phone, "Tell me yourself, what did you do during the time I was away from home?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand what you mean?" Wei Jimu was confused, but Su Anyang and I looked at each other quickly and guessed something.
"That's enough, Ji Mo. You don't have to pretend in front of Grandpa anymore. Grandpa knows everything." Upon hearing this, Grandpa Wei interrupted Wei Ji Mo without any hesitation, "The news has spread all over the company. You can't hide it even if you want to. Grandpa knows that you are in love with that little girl named Lin Yining. Grandpa doesn't care whether you really like her or you are just playing around. Anyway, Grandpa tells you that it is impossible for you and her. So, break up quickly!"
It is true!
I gave Su Anyang a knowing look - when we came in the morning, we overheard people in the company talking about it. Su Anyang quietly asked around and found out that everyone in the company was talking about me and Wei Jimo.
The two of us hadn't yet decided whether or not to tell , but unexpectedly, the matter had already reached Wei Jimo's grandfather who was recuperating overseas.
Wei Jimo and I have always been very careful about our behavior in the company in order to avoid these rumors.
Why are things still developing in the direction we don’t want to see?
I vaguely feel that this is not a simple gossip, but more like someone did it on purpose.
Who could that person be?
"Grandpa, I didn't intend to hide this from you. Now that you know it, it's even better."
I was still thinking, but Wei Jimo answered without hesitation, "Grandpa, I'm telling you solemnly now that I like the little girl you mentioned. I like her very much. She's probably the only one for me in this life. So Grandpa, whether you accept it or not, I will never break up with her!"
Wei Jimo's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. But those words, every word struck my heart with a sonorous force, filling up a certain soft corner in my heart.
"How dare you!" Grandpa Wei's roar came from the other end of the phone. It sounded full of energy and people didn't feel that he was a sick person at all.
Well, I think it's not impossible for him to live to be a hundred years old.
"Ji Mo, when did you become so stubborn? You don't even listen to grandpa?"
Wei Jimo remained unmoved.
"I can listen to Grandpa on anything, except this one."
"Good, very good, like father..." Grandpa Wei sneered repeatedly and stopped talking halfway. "Wei Jimo, if you insist, I can't do anything to you. However, do you want that little girl or the Wei Group? Think it over and answer me!"
"Grandpa, is this the only trick you can use?" Hearing this, Wei Jimo could no longer hold back his sneer, "Times are changing, Grandpa, you should also keep up with the times. My dad might have been threatened by you back then, but I won't! Grandpa, you should also think clearly, if you insist on doing this, the only one who will lose is your grandson!"
"Wei Jimo, are you... threatening me?" As if he couldn't believe his ears, Grandpa Wei's slightly hesitant voice was full of surprise.
"No, Grandpa. You're wrong! I'm not threatening you, I'm just stating the facts." Wei Jimo smiled faintly, but his voice was indescribably cold. "Anyway, you have two grandsons, so one more wouldn't make a difference, right? So whether you want to cancel my inheritance rights or anything else, just do it. But Lin Yining, I will never break up with her!"
Turning back and holding my hand tightly, Wei Jimo's tone was calm and firm.
"Ji Mo, what do you mean by this?" The voice on the other end of the phone paused before continuing, "Do you know something?"
"Grandpa, what are you referring to? Is it the fact that you separated my mom and dad? Or the fact that you have been hiding the truth from me for so many years? Or the fact that Wang Siqi is not my biological mother?" Wei Jimu said coldly with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know everything I should and shouldn't know. So, you don't have to try so hard to hide anything from me in the future!"
After saying that, Wei Jimo hung up the phone without hesitation, and the empty office instantly became quiet.
I tugged at the corner of Wei Jimo's clothes and asked uneasily, "Jimo, is this okay?"
"Who?" Before Wei Jimo could answer, Su Anyang on the side suddenly took a few quick steps towards the office door and asked sternly.
"Anyang, what's wrong? Did you see anything?" Seeing this, Wei Jimo and I hurried over.
"I seemed to see a ." Su Anyang frowned, looked at the empty corridor, and said in a deep voice, "It seems... it was Wei Jifeng's figure."
"Wei Jifeng? No way. Didn't he come to the company for internship?" I subconsciously looked at Wei Jimo, but found that he was looking down in deep thought. "Anyang, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"I'm not mistaken." Su Anyang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said confidently, "Wei Jifeng's diamond earrings are too dazzling. I'm sure that the person who eavesdropped just now was him."
I suddenly felt a little worried, so I looked up and asked, "Ji Mo, what do you think?"
"I believe my sister." After a moment's silence, Wei Jimo pursed his lips and said, "The company belongs to the Wei family, so Ji Feng can come and go freely. Now it's time to get off work, everyone has left, so it's not impossible for him to sneak in."
"What should we do now?" When Wei Jifeng heard the news, it meant that Wei Jimo's stepmother Wang Siqi also knew that Wei Jimo knew the secret of his life experience.
Over the years, the Wei family has kept this secret well hidden. Everyone seems to have reached a tacit agreement to keep this secret from Wei Jimo. If they now know that Wei Jimo knows, how will they react to him?
Also, if Wang Siqi knew about Su Anyang’s existence, would it be harmful to her?
"What are you afraid of?" Wei Jimo smiled and said calmly, "If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I want to see how far they will go."
