Zhu Weidong did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and asked if he was jealous.

Ji Ling twitched her lips and said seriously and seriously, "Zhu Weidong, it is not wise at all to handle this matter like this. I think you should stop it immediately and come out to clarify and don't let such rumors spread."

"Xu Li's help is also to help herself. She was with a partner before and it was not suitable for them to break up, but the man has always disagreed. She wants to take this opportunity to make the other party give up even if her reputation is ruined."

"You would rather ruin your reputation than make the other person give up. It shows that the other person is a very extreme person, right?"

"No, the man is so good that she couldn't find any other reasons or excuses to make him give up, so after hearing my idea, she immediately agreed."

"Even so, such a misunderstanding is still not good. I don't agree." Ji Ling directly expressed her thoughts.

Faced with his wife's sudden strength, Zhu Weidong did not react for a moment, "Xiao Ling, we were just acting."

"I'm not worried about anything between you and Xu Li. I believe in your character. I just don't like this way. I don't care how other people talk about me in private. Let's just handle the matter this way." Ji Ling didn't plan.

He continued talking without any intention of compromising, "Can you come back during the New Year?"

"If I can go back, I have made an agreement with my superiors to go home for the Chinese New Year this year. What I mean here is that everyone will go home."

"Have you decided on a date?"

"Not yet, I might follow the bureau's car back."

"Okay, tell me in advance before you come back." She told him to take care of himself there, as was his daily routine before hanging up the phone. After that, Ji Ling hung up the phone.

Ji Ling knew Zhu Weidong's intention, but her family didn't know it yet. She only mentioned it during dinner.

The Zhu family had the same idea as Ji Ling and did not agree with this approach.

"Nonsense, the older you get, the less you have any brains. How can you handle things so hastily?" Mr. Zhu slapped the table.

Father Zhu was also very angry this time and took the old man's side.

Ji Ling was slightly shocked. She thought it was a trivial matter, but she didn't expect her family to be so angry.

She looked to her mother-in-law for help.

Kong Siya patted her hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Wei Dong is really messing around."

Zhu Yaowu and the four others were honest this time. They had previously thought that their eldest brother had made a mistake that all men would make, but they did not expect to play this trick.

It's just that the idea is too naive.

Instead of solving problems, you are creating problems.

Seeing that Ji Ling was still looking at her, Kong Siya explained to her softly, "Weidong's intention is good and he wants to resolve the private rumors, but the issue of style is used to prove innocence. The issue of style is what our Zhu family values ​​​​the most.

.”

Ji Ling suddenly remembered what her grandma told her when she first got married, that the men in the Zhu family loved others the most, and that women had a higher status than men in the Zhu family.

"Mom, it's not like Weidong really has a problem with his style."

"You think this is a small matter, but to the Zhu family it is a big deal."

"But I heard from Kaoru and the others that grandpa and dad weren't so angry, right?"

Kong Siya smiled and said, "That's because I haven't asked him about the matter yet. Our family has always been very democratic. No matter what happens, we must give the person who made a mistake a chance to defend himself."

Ji Ling nodded. After thinking about it, she was still worried that her family would scold Zhu Weidong too harshly, so she said, "I told Weidong on the phone to clear up the misunderstanding and not to do this again."

"He listens to you, but grandpa still wants him to admit his mistake by himself." Kong Siya is not worried about her son. If his son is wrong, it is wrong.

They educate their children in a liberal way, but they cannot cross the line on matters of principle. This is the bottom line.

Ji Ling was very worried. When she returned to the bedroom after the meal, she still called Zhu Weidong out of loyalty, but as expected, an accident occurred. A woman answered the phone.

After Ji Ling heard a woman's voice coming from over there, she raised her eyes and glanced at the alarm clock. It read ten twenty in the evening.

"Are you still busy working with Engineer Zhu at this time?" Ji Ling asked directly.

She didn't ask who the other party was and went straight to the topic, which was considered rude.

There was an obvious pause on the phone before the voice rang, "Is it sister-in-law? I'm sorry, you misunderstood. Something went wrong on the construction site. I sent the design drawing to Teacher Zhu."

"If there are many people on your side together now, that is my misunderstanding. I apologize to you. If there are only two of you and Zhu Weidong, I hope you can avoid suspicion. It will not be good for both of you if such rumors spread."

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future. The teacher is back, I will let him answer the phone now."

When Ji Ling heard Xu Li calling Zhu Weidong to answer the phone, her face darkened again, and the next moment Zhu Weidong's voice sounded over there.

"Xiao Ling?"

"Zhu Weidong, you don't seem to take what I said to you in the afternoon to heart."

"Xiao Ling, I'm at work now." Zhu Weidong felt aggrieved, "I also want to take this time to make it clear to Xu Li."

"what time is it now?"

"Xiao Ling."

"You're busy."

Ji Ling hung up the phone and secretly scolded herself for being so kind. Anyway, Zhu Weidong was waiting to be scolded when he came back.

The call came back, but Ji Ling didn't answer it. She didn't insist anymore. Ji Ling was angry. After washing, she read for a while. She felt sleepy, so she turned off the light and went to sleep.

In the next few days, Zhu Weidong called home, but Ji Ling didn't answer the phone because the work unit was very busy at the end of the year and Ji Ling rarely worked overtime.

When she left work that day, someone called her from behind. Ji Ling stopped and turned around to see an unknown man.

The man is in his thirties, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and looks elegant.

He walked up to Ji Ling and said hello politely, "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Xu Li's partner. Because of the rumors between her and Teacher Zhu, you misunderstood her. She was very worried and called me specifically to come over and apologize to you first. She said

When she comes back, she will come to you in person to apologize."

The other party's attitude was sincere and serious. He didn't show any emotion and nodded politely. "Everyone knows it's a misunderstanding. I didn't think much about it. You can tell Xu Li later so that she doesn't take it to heart and doesn't need to come to apologize."

"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. Although Xu Li didn't say it, I know she did this because she wanted me to give up and break up with her. It sounds like the fault is all my fault." After saying this, the man smiled innocently.

Scratch your head.

Before Ji Ling said anything, his face was already red.

A good man indeed.

It's just that Ji Ling was not familiar with the relationship between the two of them and couldn't intervene.

The man was very eye-catching, "Sister-in-law, I won't disturb you anymore. It's getting late. Please pay attention to safety on the way back. When Xu Li comes back, we will visit you at home."
