Chapter 163 Your sister-in-law is pregnant, she can't be hungry
Seeing that Xu Xingzhu personally proposed that Li Jinglan stay and that she was his favorite daughter-in-law, there was no reason for Zhang Wanli to refuse.
She agreed on the spot, "Whatever you say is what it is. You are my good daughter-in-law!"
Xu Xingzhu felt her mother-in-law's love for her and immediately gave her a big hug.
"Mom, you are so kind to me."
"You've suffered too much in your mother's family. You're so grateful for the little favor I give you. This is not good. A woman should live her life neither servile nor overbearing. It's our responsibility as a Li family member to treat you well."
At the stairs, Li Jinglan heard Xu Xingzhu's voice and wanted to go downstairs.
Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting happily and her mother agreed to let her stay, Li Jinglan stopped happily and did not go forward to disturb them.
After no longer having to go abroad, Li Jinglan's life became extremely fulfilling.
She took care of her own affairs at the company during the day and dated Ji Qingsen at night.
The relationship between the two is gradually heating up.
Knowing that Xu Xingzhu and Li Jingyi's status in the family is unshakable, Ji Qingsen began to find excuses to go to Li's Villa.
That day, Xu Xingzhu was walking in the garden.
I saw Ji Qingsen driving the car to bring Li Jinglan back.
She stopped directly at the door of her villa, and Li Jinglan greeted her with a smile from a distance.
"Sister-in-law, taking a walk."
Xu Xingzhu walked over slowly and looked at Ji Qingsen.
"Yeah, you're back."
Li Jinglan held Xu Xingzhu's hand affectionately, "Second sister-in-law, Qingsen and I are both free today, can we have a meal at your house?"
Since Li Jinglan saved him last time, Xu Xingzhu was grateful and agreed to her request.
"Okay, welcome, welcome. I'll ask Sister Li to cook more rice."
Ji Qingsen smiled and said quickly, "Thank you, second sister-in-law."
At Xu Xingzhu's instruction, Sister Li cooked several more dishes.
There are steaks, dry pot fragrant meat, Dongpo pork, as well as sour and spicy bamboo shoots to relieve greasiness, hand-shredded cabbage, and shark fin and bird's nest as desserts.
The three of them sat down, and Li Jinglan asked: "Second sister-in-law, isn't my second brother coming back for dinner?"
Just as Xu Xingzhu was about to answer, Li Jingyi's car just returned to the door.
"He is back."
When Li Jingyi entered the room, Ji Qingsen was the first to greet Li Jingyi.
"Brother, you're back just in time. We're waiting for you to have dinner."
Li Jinglan didn't think there was anything wrong with Ji Qingsen's behavior, but Xu Xingzhu felt a little uncomfortable.
They felt that Ji Qingsen was a very outgoing person, or that he was scheming, and that he was actively trying to please them, which was somewhat like taking over the show.
Li Jingyi just hummed lightly with his nose.
Then he looked at his wife, smiled, went to wash his hands, and returned to his seat.
Li Jinglan felt a little embarrassed when she noticed the strangeness of her second brother and sister-in-law, but she quickly smoothed over the situation.
"Brother, Qingsen and I are free today, so we went home specially to have a meal. I asked for the advice of my sister-in-law."
Xu Xingzhu nodded.
Li Jingyi didn't say anything. "Eat, the food will get cold later. Your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't be hungry."
"Okay." Ji Qingsen responded readily.
Li Jinglan also took the initiative to pick up some food for Xu Xingzhu, "Sister-in-law, please eat more. Two people can eat with one mouth. Don't let my niece starve."
Hearing the word "niece", Li Jingyi felt delighted, and the annoyance he had just felt from Ji Qingsen disappeared.
"Good daughter, I like daughters, they will definitely be as beautiful as your sister-in-law."
Xu Xingzhu smiled and replied: "It's good to have a son. He can also do business with you and make money for my wife."
Ji Qingsen suddenly replied: "Yes, if we give birth to a son, he will inherit the Li family's wealth. He will be the most promising child in the entire Li family."
Everyone around put down their chopsticks, offended by his words.
Li Jingyi's eyes were so terrifying that people dared not look directly at him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Li Jinglan kicked Ji Qingsen's foot.
She signaled him fiercely with her eyes, telling him to stop talking nonsense.
Then he smiled and said, "Second brother, Qingsen comes to our house for the first time to eat and doesn't know the rules. Don't bother with him."
Xu Xingzhu no longer wanted to endure it, and his voice was cold.
"Mr. Ji, whether to have a boy or a girl is the business of our Li family. It has nothing to do with you. You, an outsider, are making irresponsible remarks under my nose. You are really overestimating yourself."
Li Jingyi's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Ji Qingsen so hard that his whole body was filled with goosebumps.
"My wife is right, you are not welcome in my home, please leave!"
Li Jinglan's face looked extremely ugly. She was afraid of her second brother in the first place. With great difficulty, their relationship had eased and warmed up because she had saved Xu Xingzhu. However, she did not expect that Ji Qingsen's offense would put her in a dilemma again.
She controlled her temper and apologized to Li Jingyi and Xu Xingzhu in a humble manner.
"I'm sorry, brother and sister-in-law. I didn't think it through. We are full and will go back first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, dragged Ji Qingsen's hand, and walked out the door.
Watching them leave, Li Jingyi threw the chopsticks directly to the ground, which scared Mrs. Li.
"What kind of person is this? He and Jinglan haven't even gotten married yet, but he's already trying to put us down. He really thinks he's the son-in-law of the Li family. He has no sense at all."
Xu Xingzhu patted the back of his hand and comforted him: "Don't get angry with this kind of person. Mom has always been against Jinglan and Ji Qingsen being together because she sees through his character. Jinglan is being led around by him. If she marries him, she will suffer in the future."
Not far from the door, Ji Qingsen shook off Li Jinglan's hand.
Li Jinglan looked at him humbly and explained.
"You really shouldn't have said those words just now. My second brother loves his second sister-in-law very much, and their child will definitely be given extra attention. If you ridicule his second sister-in-law like this, my second brother will definitely not be able to accept it."
Ji Qingsen looked at Li Jinglan with a sarcastic look and said earnestly.
"Jinglan, you are also a member of the Li family. According to the inheritance law, your inheritance ratio is the same as your eldest brother and second brother. Why does this family give people the impression that they favor boys over girls and your brother more? Your brother owns textile factories, kerosene, electricity, trade and other industries, while you only have a trading company. This bias is too obvious."
Li Jinglan's expression changed completely, from being humble and flattering just now to being extremely angry.
"My second brother's business was all earned by his own hard work. We became the richest man in southern Beijing not because of my parents, but because of my second brother. Even if the entire Li family is inherited by my second brother, my eldest brother and third brother have no objection. Why do you, an outsider, have any say in that?"
So that's how it is. Then what can Ji Qingsen get when he comes to visit in the future?
Ji Qingsen turned hostile on the spot, "Second brother, second brother, you keep saying it's him, then go with him, don't come to me!"
He turned around and walked forward without giving Li Jinglan any face.
On the upstairs balcony, Xu Xingzhu and Li Jingyi were leaning against the railing and heard their conversation.
