Chapter 102: Three Brothers

After arranging everything in Yuncheng, Ling Yao, accompanied by Ji Yanting and Ling Xuemei, set off for Beijing.

In the bustling hall of the train station, people flowed like a tide.

Some people were rushing, their faces filled with fatigue and anticipation. Some anxiously stared at the large screen in the waiting room, afraid of missing their train.

Some sat on chairs, closing their eyes and resting, trying to find a moment of peace in the noisy environment.

 Others were saying goodbye to family and friends, their eyes filled with reluctance and affection.

“Ling Yao, have a safe trip. When you have time, my cousin and I will go to Beijing to see you.”

“Ling Yao, take these things to eat on the way.” Wu Xin and Wu Ziyu said goodbye to Ling Yao reluctantly.

Since Ling Yao saved Wu Xin last time, the Wu family treated her like their own family.

They would often send things to Ling Yao’s house, food, necessities, everything. No matter how much Ling Yao refused, they wouldn’t stop.

“Thank you!” Ling Yao took the things. She heard the announcement on the radio that the train was about to arrive. “I’m going now. See you later!”

“See you later!” Wu Xin and Wu Ziyu watched Ling Yao and the others walk into the ticket gate. They didn’t look away until their figures disappeared from sight.

Ling Yao and the others carried their luggage and came to the sleeping compartment. There were two beds in the compartment, both upper and lower bunks.

Ji Yanting put away the luggage and picked up the thermos on the table, “You two can sleep on the upper bunks. It’s safer that way.

 I’ll go get some water.” He had originally planned to drive back to Beijing, but Xuemei got carsick on long journeys, so taking the train would be more comfortable.

 However, the train was relatively slow, and they would need to spend a day and a night on the train. They wouldn’t arrive in Beijing until tomorrow afternoon.

Before leaving, he had already called the old man and told him that he was bringing Xuemei and their daughter back.

 He wondered what the old man’s reaction would be and whether he would accept them.

 But no matter what he thought, it couldn’t stop their family from reuniting.

He had also informed his three sons, Yuanming, Yuanbo, and Yuanzhou.

With a whistle, the train slowly started and gradually moved towards the distance.

In Beijing, at a secluded courtyard, Old Master Ji was playing chess with an elderly man.

“You said your third son is bringing his country wife and child back?” Mr. Wang smiled and put down his chess piece.

 He had come to play chess with Old Master Ji today because he had heard this news.

He wasn’t looking down on people from the countryside. After all, he was also a farmer.

 It’s just that these big families seemed glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, they were full of intrigue and undercurrents.

In such an environment, it was difficult for innocent people to survive.

“Yes.” Old Master Ji nodded and picked up a chess piece, placing it on the board.

He had already promised Yanting that he would no longer oppose him being with that mother and daughter.

But thinking about the information he had found earlier, he couldn’t help but frown.

Ling Xuemei was alright. She knew some medicine and was thrifty.

But he really couldn’t stand that granddaughter.

The information said that she had given all her family’s belongings to a man and served his family like a slave.

No matter how they treated her or belittled her, she didn’t complain.

She just wanted to marry that man.

And she didn’t even want to go to college. She didn’t have the spirit of their Ji family at all.

Although he had heard that she had changed a lot recently and had gone back to school to take the college entrance exam, as the saying goes,

 “Old habits die hard.” He didn’t want to recognize a granddaughter like that.

“Aren’t you afraid that the Zhu family will do something to that mother and daughter?”

Mr. Wang knew that the Zhu family and the Ji family had broken off their engagement a month ago.

 But the Zhu family was not easy to deal with.

They had suffered such a huge loss and wouldn’t let it go. They might do something to that mother and daughter.

“To be a member of the Ji family, one must bear the consequences. If they can’t even handle this, then they don’t deserve to be a member of the Ji family.” Old Master Ji placed a chess piece on the board, “Checkmate! I win.”

He had protected that mother and daughter for so many years. It was time for them to face the storm themselves.

The train, after a long journey, finally arrived in Beijing.

As soon as they got off the train, Ling Yao saw Ji Yuanming’s tall figure in the crowd.

 Beside him stood two other handsome men. They must be her second brother, Ji Yuanbo, and her third brother, Ji Yuanzhou.

“Dad! Auntie Ling! Yaoyao.” Ji Yuanming quickly walked over and took their luggage.

Ji Yuanzhou and Ji Yuanbo’s eyes fell on Ling Yao in the first instance.

They had heard their eldest brother talk about this sister.

 He said she was not only beautiful but also very talented. They had been wanting to meet her.

Seeing her today, she was indeed as their eldest brother had said.

Just her aura alone was incomparable to many of the wealthy young ladies in Beijing.

 They liked this sister and would protect her. They wouldn’t let anyone hurt her.

“Sister, I’m your second brother, Ji Yuanbo.”

“I’m your third brother, Ji Yuanzhou.”

“Second brother! Third brother! Nice to meet you!” Ling Yao smiled. Her smile was dazzling, like a hundred flowers blooming, beautiful beyond compare.

“Nice to meet you, sister!” Ji Yuanbo and Ji Yuanzhou said in unison. Their sister was so beautiful!

They secretly made up their minds. They would be their sister’s strong backing.

They would protect her and absolutely not let any ill-intentioned men have any chance to covet their sister.

The group got into the car and drove towards the Ji family’s residence.

“Dad! Grandfather and the aunts are all waiting for you at home.” Ji Yuanming reminded them.

Ji Yanting nodded. He knew they would come. When he was going to pick up Xuemei and the others, they had objected.

He turned, his gaze falling softly on his wife and daughter. He said softly, “Xuemei, Yaoyao, no matter what anyone says, don’t take it to heart.

 I’ll handle everything.” He would protect them. He wouldn’t let anyone hurt them, not even his closest relatives.

“Okay.” Ling Yao and Ling Xuemei nodded. When they decided to go back to the Ji family with Ji Yanting, they had already prepared themselves mentally.

They knew that returning to the Ji family would face many challenges and difficulties.

The car slowly drove into the Ji family’s compound and finally stopped in front of a small villa.

Ji Yanting and his group walked into the villa. As soon as they entered, they saw the living room filled with people.

These people were all members of the Ji family. They had heard that Ji Yanting was bringing his country wife and daughter back.

 They had come to see what was going on.
