Su Sumei reached out and pressed the corner of her eye, jokingly said, "Your sister is not sensible, so you have to help comfort your dad even more. Who doesn't know what kind of a person the eldest daughter of the Ji Family is? Your dad is still counting on you to win some respect for him out there, did you hear me?"
"I got it." Ji Kaisui obediently stood to the side, looking aggrieved and conciliatory.
The hypocritical appearance of the mother and daughter truly turned Ji Weitian's stomach.
Whether this so-called father of hers was truly blind, she couldn't tell, but he actually believed they were a loving mother and filial daughter.
Hearing Su Sumei's words, his expression softened slightly. He turned and sat back down on the sofa, looking at Ji Weitian again, "It's one thing if you don't usually listen, but your Aunt Mei kindly arranged a matchmaking meeting for you, and you deliberately ruined it, making the Chen Family think we were intentionally provoking them. Do you not want the Ji Family to be well, or do you not want your dad to be well?"
"..." Ji Weitian said nothing and let Ji Mofeng vent his anger.
She was a junior, and whatever she said in front of elders was wrong.
Since that was the case, it was better not to speak at all. Whoever got angry would be at a disadvantage, and, after all, it was none of her business.
Ji Mofeng scolded for a long time alone, while Su Sumei consoled him beside him. Every word seemingly worried about him but every word fanned the flames. It was unknown how long it took before Ji Weitian's ears nearly grew callouses, and Ji Mofeng finally tired himself out, giving a final conclusion.
"I've already talked to the Chen Family. You will go with me in a while and apologize to the Chen Family in person. Even if this marriage doesn't work out, it must not harm the relationship between the Ji Family and the Chen Family."
"I'm not going." Ji Weitian spoke up without hesitation.
Her attitude was rarely so determined.
She wasn't stupid. She had gone through great lengths such as disguising herself as ugly and confessing that she had a daughter to scare Chen Xu away. If she went to the Chen Family with Ji Mofeng, the tactic she used before definitely wouldn't work again. If Chen Xu found out he was deceived and changed his mind about marrying her, wouldn't that be jumping into a fire pit herself?
"What did you say?" Ji Mofeng's face changed instantly.
Ji Weitian did not back down and said directly, "Refusing to date was Chen Xu's own decision. I did nothing wrong and will not apologize."
"You—" Ji Mofeng was just about to lose his temper when Su Sumei quickly stopped him.
"Weitian is young and not sensible. How can she understand the importance of friends in the business world? We're all family, so talk to her nicely. If it really doesn't work, I'll lose face and accompany you to apologize to the Chen Family as well. Besides, it was also my fault. I thought the Chen Family had a good family background, and if Weitian could marry into the Chen Family, it would be a good match, better than living with such a reputation and unable to hold her head up in society. I didn't expect good intentions to lead to bad outcomes. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Boo hoo hoo..."
Su Sumei shed tears at the drop of a hat, sobbing as she pleaded for Ji Weitian, like a well-intentioned stepmother going to great lengths to plan for her stepdaughter, yet the heartless stepdaughter was ungrateful.
Ji Weitian herself almost felt heartache watching them, let alone Ji Mofeng.
He had originally had little affection for this daughter, and now, looking at Ji Weitian, there was even more loathing in his eyes.
Ji Weitian lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of desolation flashing in them.
Even though she felt no affection for the Ji Family, Ji Mofeng was still her biological father. If possible, she also wished to, like the children of ordinary families, bring joy to him.
It was just a pity... the Ji Family did not deserve it.
Ji Weitian walked to the sofa and sat down, her gaze already returning to calmness, indifferently watching them act.
