Ji Xiangzhou heard Ye Yang’s words and looked up.

　　Sure enough, I saw Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian sitting at the back of the classroom, their heads leaning together, quite close, and I didn’t know what they were talking about.

　　Ji Xiangzhou felt a strange emotion in his heart.

　　Ji Xiangnian and Fang Ning, strange, too strange.

　　Ji Xiangnian actually came over to attend a parent-teacher meeting for him.

　　In the past, I really hoped that Ji Xiangnian could come to the parent-teacher meeting for him. At least this way, it could prove that someone in the family cared about him.

　　But now he no longer needs him.

　　And last night, he had clearly told Fang Ning that he didn’t want him to come, so why did he come back with such a thick face? How could he be so shameless?

　　How can you be so thick-skinned!

　　He obviously just wanted Fang Ning to come, but he came with her. Now others would know that he had a wicked brother who married a young and beautiful woman at his old age.

　　What should I do if others misunderstand me and think I am immoral?

　　Ji Xiangzhou curled his lips, becoming increasingly annoyed with Ji Xiangnian.

　　Although he wanted to say this, Ji Xiangzhou still walked straight towards the two people.

　　Looking at his brother slowly walking towards him, Ji Xiangnian felt quite emotional.

　　Before, he was busy with work when he was at home, and no one knew what Xiang Zhou was busy with on weekends. He was obviously a student, but other children couldn’t wait to go home on weekends.

　　But he was nowhere to be seen during the weekends.

　　Of course, he seldom went home, and even when he did, Xiang Zhou was not there, so the two of them hadn’t seen each other for probably a month or two.

　　Ji Xiangzhou is usually not a person who shows his personality outwardly, but when he saw Ji Xiangnian, he couldn’t control his emotions. He glanced at Ji Xiangnian coldly with no expression on his face.

　　This conference room is an amphitheater. Ji Xiangnian is outside and Fang Ning is sitting inside. There is a seat next to Ji Xiangnian.

　　Then he went straight to Fang Ning’s position.

　　Ji Xiangnian was thinking about having a good chat with this young man later.

　　But he waited and waited, until Ji Xiangzhou walked around him and sat with Fang Ning, avoiding him as if he were the plague god.

　　Ji Xiangnian: “…………”

　　He sat down next to Fang Ning, with a cold face, and looked past Fang Ning to Ji Xiangnian, and asked in a cold voice: “Why are you here?”

　　Ji Xiangnian sighed slowly, and did not answer Ji Xiangzhou. He looked at him and sighed, “It seems like you have grown taller.”

　　Ji Xiangzhou didn’t want to pay any attention to Ji Xiangnian. He turned his gaze to Fang Ning and said in a cold and hard tone, as if questioning, “Why is he here too? Didn’t we agree that you should come here by yourself without bringing anyone else?”

　　”Why did you let him come with you?”

　　Fang Ning: “…………”

　　She was so embarrassed and speechless.

　　Young man, please tell me, do I look strong enough to reject your brother, or do I have the ability to tie your brother up at home and not let him come over!!!

　　The children of the two parents sitting in front had not arrived yet. Seeing Ji Xiangzhou talking back to his brother and sister, they were shocked and thought that Ji Xiangzhou was a rebellious teenager. They couldn’t help but persuade him, “My classmate, your brother and sister are already very busy at work. It’s not easy for them to come to the parent-teacher meeting. As a younger brother, you should at least be considerate of your older brother and sister.”

　　”That’s right, young people don’t know how hard it is to work. It’s not easy for older brother and sister to make money. They are busy working every day and are exploited by unscrupulous capitalist bosses.”

　　Ji Xiangzhou looked at the two of them seriously, his eyes seemed to be saying, what nonsense are you talking about? He looked at the two nosy people in front of him indifferently and said coldly, “What brother and sister? This is my brother and sister-in-law.”

　　The parents waiting in front were also gossipy people. They looked at Ji Xiangnian and Fang Ning for a few times, their eyes were shocked, and they were hesitant to speak: “Husband and wife? Ah, but, but, this, this, their ages seem a little bit different…”

　　Not quite suitable. Of course, they didn’t say the last three words.

　　Ji Xiangzhou took up their conversation and analyzed rationally, “They are not a good match. When I first saw my sister-in-law, I felt that they were really not a good match. If it were in reality, an older man would marry a younger woman.”

　　”People generally think that this is an old cow eating young grass.”

　　Fang Ning: “…”

　　Young man, you are really brave.

　　Although it is true that she is relatively young and pretty, it is not really nice for you to say this in front of your brother.

　　Ji Xiangnian was mocked by his younger brother for being old, and he felt unhappy and depressed.

　　What made him depressed was not just that his brother didn’t stand on his side.

　　At the same time, he was worried and annoyed. Was he so incompatible with Fang Ning in appearance?

　　Ji Xiangnian almost subconsciously observed Fang Ning’s expression.

　　He wanted to know whether Fang Ning really thought this way, and whether she felt that he and she were not worthy of each other.

　　Ji Xiangzhou didn’t know how much of a blow his sincere words had brought to Ji Xiangnian.

　　Although this little episode left a slightly bad impression on Ji Xiangnian, it passed quickly, and other students in the class arrived one after another.

　　Ji Xiangzhou’s homeroom teacher has also arrived. This class meeting was mainly to discuss the midterm exam.

　　Because No. 1 High School is the best high school in the city and also one of the most famous high schools in the country.

　　In this high school, many top students compete for admission to good universities.

　　It is now the first semester of the second year of high school, and the National Mathematics Competition will begin at the beginning of the second semester.

　　Their class is a top class. There are several people in it who have the ability to get good results in the league, and the school leaders also attach great importance to it.

　　So when the midterm exam results came out, the class teacher held a parents’ meeting and briefly explained the basic situation of the results.

　　Then we asked a few parents of students who were capable of achieving good results in the competition to stay.

　　Ji Xiangzhou had good grades and ranked second in the school in this exam, so Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian were able to stay there smoothly.

　　Parents who stay behind must talk to their children and the class teacher individually.

　　Parents came one by one to give instructions, and the first parents the head teacher talked to were Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian. They took Ji Xiangzhou into the small compartment next to the meeting room.

　　The head teacher had met Fang Ning and knew her identity, so she treated Fang Ning quite well and was a responsible sister-in-law.

　　But Ji Xiangnian is different. Ji Xiangzhou has been studying in high school for more than a year.

　　She had called people to the parent-teacher conferences so many times, but he never came, so she couldn’t help but want to say a few words for her students.

　　The head teacher said slowly: “Although I am busy with work, I still have to care about the children. No matter how busy I am, I have to take some time to come here.”

　　”Xiang Zhou will participate in a competition next semester. This concerns his life and future, so I hope you, as his brother and sister-in-law, will take good care of him.”

　　When the head teacher said these words, Ji Xiangnian slowly lowered his gaze on Fang Ning’s body, observing her expression.

　　Ji Xiangnian knew that the teacher was saying that he was too irresponsible. He originally wanted to save his image by thinking that Fang Ning was by his side, but then he thought about how he had been busy with company expansion in the past year or two and had not attended Ji Xiangzhou’s parent-teacher meeting.

　　After thinking about it, he could only nod helplessly: “Well, we understand. Thank you for your concern, teacher.”

　　Ji Xiangzhou didn’t want to give him face. Hearing Ji Xiangnian’s words, he sneered coldly: “What responsibility can he have for a man who even abandoned his newlywed wife for his job?”

　　”Care about me, I don’t need your care, you should care about my sister-in-law, who would go on a business trip within two days of their wedding?”

　　After he finished speaking, Ji Xiangzhou gave Ji Xiangnian a mocking look, as if to say: With someone like you, who knows when he might lose his wife, and don’t even know where to cry!

　　Work, work, he didn’t understand whether this person had nothing else in his eyes except work.

　　Ji Xiangnian: “…………”

　　How could his younger brother be so harsh in words? As an older brother, does he have no dignity?

　　————

　　The parent-teacher meeting was over. Because Ji Xiangzhou’s test score was among the top ten in the school, the head teacher gave Ji Xiangzhou a day off.

　　Ji Xiangnian was thinking about taking Ji Xiangzhou home and then taking Fang Ning out for dinner, so the three of them came to the parking lot.

　　Ji Xiangzhou was there this time, so Fang Ning did not sit in the passenger seat, but sat in the back with Ji Xiangzhou.

　　In Ji Xiangzhou’s subconscious mind, Ji Xiangnian has always been a very busy person, so this time he thought that Ji Xiangnian would be busy with other things later.

　　Fang Ning really came to his parent-teacher meeting today, and he thought about treating Fang Ning to a nice meal to thank her.

　　So Ji Xiangzhou fastened his seat belt and said to Ji Xiangnian: “I want to have a meal with my sister-in-law. You take us to Xx Shopping Plaza, and then you go to the company.”

　　Because apart from treating her to a meal, he couldn’t think of anything else that others could do to thank Fang Ning.

　　Ji Xiangnian, who had just made an appointment with Fang Ning to go out for dinner this morning, said: “???”

　　Fang Ning was thinking about other things and didn’t react.

　　Seeing that Ji Xiangnian and Fang Ning were silent, Ji Xiangzhou thought Fang Ning had other things to do later. Ji Xiangzhou looked at Fang Ning tentatively and asked, “Do you have anything else to do later?”

　　The agent sent her a message, saying that the advertising time had been set. She was asked to give a reply whether the time set by the advertising company was okay, so Fang Ning was just thinking about this matter and didn’t pay attention to what Ji Xiangzhou was saying: “Ah, what?”

　　Ji Xiangzhou repeated that he wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her for coming to the parent-teacher meeting today.

　　Fang Ning suddenly realized: “Your brother and I have already agreed to go out for dinner later. You can come with us. You don’t have to pay. Your brother will pay. Mr. Ji, don’t you agree?”

　　In Fang Ning’s eyes, Ji Xiangzhou is Ji Xiangnian’s biological brother, and he would have no objection to taking his brother along, so she made the decision directly for Ji Xiangnian.

　　And with Ji Xiangzhou around, she would feel much more at ease.

　　Ji Xiangnian steered the car steadily, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at the two of them in the mirror.

　　I don’t know how to express my feelings. If it were any other time, and my younger brother invited me out for dinner, I would definitely go out without saying a word.

　　But today happened to be the first time he invited Fang Ning to dinner, and he was interrupted by his own younger brother.

　　He died before he could accomplish his mission. Ji Xiangnian had a strong intuition that this guy would definitely be a stumbling block in his love life in the future.

　　Ji Xiangnian didn’t say anything, Ji Xiangzhou was a little unhappy, and wanted to take the initiative: “Why don’t you say anything? You usually work overtime every day, why don’t you work overtime but disturb my dinner with my sister-in-law?”

　　Ji Xiangnian: “…………”

　　No, have you forgotten, my boy? Your sister-in-law sitting in the back is the one who got marriage certificate with me?

　　——

　　In the end, what was supposed to be a “date” for two people turned into two people plus a light bulb.

　　Ji Xiangnian had already booked a table for dinner, which was at a high-end western restaurant on the top floor in the city center.
