Ji Xiangyi drank her tea leisurely, while Ji Xiangchen played with his phone with his eyes downcast. It was obvious that the two of them were not listening to what Old Lady Ji was saying.

　　You talk yours, I play mine, the main thing is companionship.

　　Mrs. Ji also discovered Fang Ning and Ji Xiangzhou at this time. She first glanced at Ji Xiangzhou and said, “Xiangzhou, you’re back.”

　　Then she raised her reading glasses and looked at Fang Ning carefully. After a while, she spoke, but her tone was much colder than before: “You are the young wife from Xiangnian.”

　　The other party is an elder, so she should be polite. Fang Ning smiled politely, but not too enthusiastically: “Hello, grandma, I am.”

　　After saying that, Fang Ning did not intend to sit down. As a contract wife, she did not intend to interfere in the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and she had no obligation to accompany the old lady. She pointed to the stairs and said, “You guys chat, I have something else to do, so I won’t disturb you.”

　　But how could Mrs. Ji let Fang Ning go? She came here specifically to visit her.

　　A few days ago, she learned from her son that her unfilial and rebellious grandson Ji Xiangnian had gotten married. He had gotten married a month ago, to a girl from a humble family.

　　She was very angry that Ji Xiangnian didn’t even tell her about such a big thing as marriage.

　　After all, I am his elder and his grandmother, and he doesn’t even ask for my opinion. It’s simply nonsense.

　　If her son hadn’t stopped her, she would have come to the door long ago. She was angry for several days and found out all the information about the girl who married her grandson.

　　Then come to the door today.

　　Originally, Old Lady Ji was not satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law. Now that she saw that Fang Ning didn’t care about her, she felt even more dissatisfied.

　　Old Mrs. Ji knocked her teacup on the table and said, “What big problem do you have that you want to solve now? You don’t even want to come over and accompany an old woman like me.”

　　Fang Ning retracted the foot that had just stepped out. After all, the other party was an elder, although she had no obligation to chat with her.

　　But thinking about the living expenses Ji Xiangnian gave her every month, she still sat down.

　　Fang Ning looked at the position of the sofas. She originally wanted to pick a seat farthest from the old lady, but it was occupied by Ji’s siblings. She could only sit across from Old Lady Ji.

　　Having just come back from outside, Fang Ning’s mouth was a little dry. She poured herself a cup of tea, held the cup, and drank the tea elegantly: “I wonder if there is something, that you asked me to sit down?”

　　Old Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect Fang Ning to ask so directly, but as the oldest one in the Ji family, although Ji Xiangyi and the others didn’t treat her very well, all the other juniors coaxed and flattered her, so her temper was naturally not very good. Of course, it was the same when facing Fang Ning.

　　She said coldly: “Can’t I come to you if there is nothing?”

　　After a pause, Mrs. Ji seemed to feel that speaking so loudly was not in line with her personality, so she raised her voice again: “I heard that you are Fang Rong’s daughter?”

　　”Getting married in one month, what kind of magic potion did you feed Xiangnian?”

　　As for the selection of Ji Xiangnian’s wife, Old Lady Ji hoped that Ji Xiangnian could find a wife who was of equal social status. Of course, she had already selected the candidate a long time ago.

　　When Ji Xiangnian was twenty-five or twenty-six, she mentioned these things to Ji Xiangnian and also selected several candidates.

　　But Ji Xiangnian didn’t like any of them. Over the years, she had introduced many girls of equal status to Ji Xiangnian, but he didn’t choose any of them.

　　Seeing that he was almost thirty years old, she was getting very anxious.

　　Just recently, she took a fancy to a girl. The girl was not very old, but came from a good family. She was the granddaughter of her friend.

　　I heard that she had met Xiang Nian several times. After seeing her, I could tell that the girl also liked Xiang Nian.

　　There was a banquet in a few days, and she wanted to take the girl with her. However, she had never expected that her rebellious grandson was already married!

　　She was really angry. All her plans fell through. Ji Xiangnian was out of the country and not at home. Now she naturally wanted to direct all her anger towards Fang Ning.

　　”You are so unruly at such a young age. I don’t know how your parents taught you.”

　　Hearing this, Fang Ning’s eyes showed some danger, she really wanted to curse now.

　　Why scold her? What does it mean to drug him? What does it mean to be shameless? Let’s not talk about the fact that the original owner and Ji Xiangnian were in a contract marriage.

　　Even if it is not a marriage by arrangement, isn’t it normal to fall in love and get married in today’s society?

　　Yes, they were not in a relationship, but it was not serious enough to be brought up as indiscretion.

　　She was scolded for no reason. Old Mrs. Ji is Ji Xiangnian’s grandmother, but not her grandmother. Even if she is, so what? It would be impolite not to fight back when being scolded like this.

　　Fang Ning calmly placed the cup on the table, then looked straight into the old lady’s eyes and said, “Ma’am, I see you don’t bind your feet, so why are your thinking and your words still so foul?”

　　“The Qing dynasty has been gone a long time—why is your thinking still wrapped up like it’s in cloth?”

　　“What do you mean ‘immoral’? Your grandson and I are in a relationship freely, and we married freely. Just dating and getting married is ‘immoral’? Look at yourself—you have so many children and grandchildren. Aren’t you even more ‘immoral’ than me?”

　　When it comes to talking skills, Fang Ning has never lost.

　　Old Mrs. Ji didn’t expect Fang Ning to be so sharp-tongued that she actually scolded her back. Old Mrs. Ji was so angry that her hands were shaking.

　　After being scolded by Fang Ning, Old Lady Ji turned her gaze towards Ji Xiangyi, Ji Xiangchen and the other three.

　　Who knows, when Ji Xiangchen heard Fang Ning’s words, not only did he not help, he also secretly gave Fang Ning a thumbs up.

　　Ji Xiangzhou knew that his grandmother always spoke harshly, especially to them, ever since Ji Xiangnian kicked his eldest uncle and third uncle out of the company.

　　The old lady has always been resentful of them and likes to say some mean things to them whether there is anything wrong or not.

　　He felt uncomfortable listening to this, but after all, she was his own grandmother, so he did not dare to refute.

　　Ji Xiangyi’s thoughts were different from Ji Xiangchen’s. She didn’t like this grandma, she really didn’t like her and even hated her.

　　Ever since she found out that Ji Xiangnian handed over some of the Ji family’s businesses to her and didn’t give them to her cousins, for a while, the old lady came to the company every day to complain about her, asking why a girl like her should take over the family business instead of handing it over to her cousins.

　　It had been a long time since she had remembered about it, but today when she heard Uncle Li call her and say that the old lady had come to their house, it reminded her of the incident again.

　　She was afraid that Fang Ning would be scolded by the old lady if she was at home, so she came back.

　　She was already unhappy with the old lady, and now that she was talking about Fang Ning, she naturally had to speak up. Fang Ning finished her words.

　　Ji Xiangyi drank a sip of tea, her expression indifferent, and said coldly: “Grandma, you are so old, and you still can’t tell your own gender. It’s a pity that you have lived so many years in vain.”

　　Ji Xiangyi has always had a sharp tongue.

　　She is also a girl, so of course she stands on Fang Ning’s side. What is immoral? If Fang Ning is immoral, then Ji Xiangnian, who is married to Fang Ning, is the same, immoral too.

　　Ji Xiangnian already knew that his grandmother was a trouble-making person but still didn’t handle these things well. If she hadn’t come back, I didn’t know how the old lady would bully her. He was a man with no sense of responsibility and not reliable at all.

　　Thinking of this, Ji Xiangyi couldn’t help but want to scold Ji Xiangnian.

　　Hearing Ji Xiangyi’s words for letting Fang Ning go, Old Lady Ji knocked on the table with her cane: “Xiangyi! You you you!”

　　Ji Xiangyi was unreliable, so she could only look to Ji Xiangzhou for help.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was struggling with a difficult math problem. When the housekeeper called just now, his math teacher was explaining the last question of the National Mathematics Competition to him, but he was called away halfway through.

　　He felt uncomfortable, so he took out the notebook and struggled with the math problems while listening to them talk.

　　After hearing what Fang Ning was told by her grandmother and Ji Xiangyi’s words, he also looked up and said calmly, “Don’t criticize grandma. She is uneducated, her thinking is relatively backward, and she is ignorant. You need to understand.”

　　Ji Xiangchen also followed, and after hearing Ji Xiangzhou’s words, he echoed

　　”I remember my grandfather said the same thing when he was still alive. My grandmother is a feudal and old-fashioned person.”

　　Old Mrs. Ji: “…”

　　My own grandchildren scolded me one sentence at a time.

　　Being scolded by Fang Ning was not the most important thing. Her own grandchildren also helped outsiders to talk about her. Old Mrs. Ji almost lost her breath. She pointed at them and scolded: “You ungrateful wolves, I raised you for so long, and now you follow outsiders to bully your grandmother, ungrateful wolves, ungrateful wolves.”

　　Ji Xiangyi glanced at her and said indifferently: “Grandma, what do you mean by an outsider? She is my sister-in-law, is she an outsider?”

　　Listening to the three of them helping her talk about the old lady, Fang Ning felt surprised and happy.

　　Fang Ning was really afraid that Mrs. Lai would not be able to catch her breath, so she comforted her, “Okay, old lady, don’t be angry. Look, you are already so old, and you are still angry. It will hurt your health, and that will be a big problem.”

　　Old Mrs. Ji gritted her teeth. She had never been bullied by her eldest son, but now she was being scolded so harshly.

　　Old Madam Ji held her chest tightly. She had finally realized that these grandchildren were all ungrateful. It was a waste of her previous kindness to them: “Oh, you are bullying an old lady like me, Ji Guoning. Look at the good sons and daughter you gave birth to. They all bully your mother one by one!”

　　”Collaborating with outsiders to bully your mother…”

　　”Oh, come and help me.”

　　Old Mrs. Ji was old but not stupid. She knew that her three ungrateful grandchildren were so ungrateful that she stopped talking, picked up her walking stick, and asked her driver to help her get into the car and leave.
