"Ji Hongyu, you are really naive. Apart from me, Ji Yourong, who would really help you?"
"You have to understand that I will go to the Lu family in Mincheng to be the young mistress. Now I am just helping you. I really don't like the Ji family's property."
"I just can't stand Ji Ningxue, but why should a prostitute be in charge of Ji's head office?" Ji Yourong sneered.
Ji Hongyu couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I know this, thank you cousin Yourong! By the way, are you sure about that matter? I heard from my aunt that Mr. Lu will come to pick you up soon.
Sister, are you there?"
Hearing this, Ji Yourong's face showed a hint of uneasiness, and she pretended to be proud: "Of course! It won't take long. Maybe today or tomorrow, Mr. Lu will pick me up."
"These Ji family members think that Ji Ningxue is very powerful now that she is sitting on the position of chairman of the head office? Little do they know that in front of the Mincheng Lu family, these are nothing."
"If they are smart, they should come to curry favor with me now. When I enter the Lu family, their benefits will naturally be indispensable." Ji Yourong said with a proud face.
"Yes! Those people are really blind. Anyway, I firmly support cousin Yourong." Ji Hongyu quickly replied with a smile.
Ji Hongyu would definitely not care much about Ji Yourong alone.
But if Ji Yourong had the identity of a young mistress of the Lu family in Mincheng, it would be very scary!
"Don't worry! As long as you do what I say, before I leave, I will definitely drive Ji Ningxue out of the Ji family and let your family take charge of the company." Ji Yourong said calmly.
When Ji Hongyu heard this, he was naturally excited again and thanked Ji Yourong repeatedly.
Everyone in the Ji family chatted in the courtyard for a while, and Mrs. Ji walked out with the support of two servants and a cane.
"All the children of the Ji family, please come with me to pay homage to the old man!"
According to custom, before the family banquet begins, paying homage to Mr. Ji must be the first priority.
Regarding this most important matter, everyone in the Ji family did not dare to neglect it. They immediately closed their mouths and stood up with serious expressions.
Then, dozens of members of the Ji family followed Mrs. Ji and entered the hall in a mighty manner.
Mrs. Ji walked in the front, came to Mr. Ji's spiritual tablet, and was the first to light the incense.
Afterwards, specialized personnel lit a large amount of incense and distributed it to each of the Ji family's children.
Mrs. Ji was at the front, followed closely by Ji Leshan, Ji Yushu and three other men.
Further behind, there are Tang Qiuyun, the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, and several others.
Naturally, Lu Yu, Ji Ningxue, and three generations of the family, including Ji Hongyu and Ji Yourong, were ranked at the bottom.
Dozens of people lined up in an orderly manner, filling the hall to capacity.
No one in the hall spoke. They all held incense sticks in both hands and stood still with solemn expressions.
The smoke swirled around, forming layers of smoke that filled the entire hall, and a faint scent of pine surrounded the tip of the nose.
"All the children of the Ji family, kneel down!"
Mrs. Ji faced Mr. Ji's spiritual tablet and gave a long drink.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Among the dozens of people, except for Mrs. Ji, everyone else was kneeling on the futon prepared on the ground.
In this atmosphere, even Ji Hongyu and Ji Yourong did not dare to make mistakes and kept their mouths shut.
Lu Yu looked up at Mr. Ji's spiritual tablet, where there was a black and white photo of Mr. Ji.
Looking at the old man with an angular face, Lu Yu's heart also fluctuated.
In Lu Yu's life, there are two people he respects the most.
One is Mr. Lu, and the other is Mr. Ji of the Ji family.
Mr. Lu protected Lu Yu, cared for Lu Yu to grow up carefree in the Lu family, taught Lu Yu steadfastly, and taught him many principles of life.
Mr. Ji, on the other hand, was very grateful to Lu Yu for reincarnation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a reborn parent.
If the old man hadn't extended a helping hand and given Lu Yu a place to stay, it's unclear whether Lu Yu would still be alive today.
These two people both have great kindness to Lu Yu.
But now, both of them have left.
Looking at the black and white photo of Mr. Ji, Lu Yu couldn't help but flash a lot of the past in his mind.
Mr. Lu and Mr. Ji have very similar personalities. If they could get in touch, they would definitely become very good friends.
Lu Yu also felt very sorry for Mr. Ji's illness back then.
If I had still been in contact with the Lu family back then, it would not have been difficult to cure Mr. Ji's illness with the advanced medical methods of the Lu family.
But, it's too late to say anything now.
Fulfilling Mr. Ji's last wish is the best reward for him.
"Grandpa, I, Lu Yu, will ensure the prosperity of the Ji family business in one day! I will also fulfill my promise to you and love Ningxue with my life." Lu Yu looked at the black and white photo of Mr. Ji and felt relieved.
oath.
When Mr. Ji asked Lu Yu to get married, he naturally didn't push his precious granddaughter into a pit of fire. Therefore, there was also an oath between him and Lu Yu.
Lu Yu attaches great importance to love and justice, and values his oaths and will not break them easily.
"Lu Yu, you are looking for death!!"
At this moment, a scolding suddenly reached Lu Yu's ears.
Lu Yu finally came back to his senses and looked at Ji Hongyu with a frown.
"We have all knelt down and kowtowed. Why don't you kowtow? What do you want to do?"
"This small temple of the Ji family can't accommodate your giant Buddha, right? You don't even worship me, grandpa?" Ji Hongyu gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Yu.
Only then did Lu Yu realize that he had been so distracted by his thoughts just now that he even forgot to kowtow at the capital.
At this time, everyone in the Ji family was kneeling on the ground, but Lu Yu was the only one who did not kowtow, which was indeed very inappropriate.
"I didn't hear it." Lu Yu explained lightly.
"Pretend!" Ji Hongyu stood up suddenly and walked towards Lu Yu angrily.
"Are you sure you want to fight with me?" Lu Yu glanced at Ji Hongyu lightly.
After saying these words, Ji Hongyu's footsteps stopped instantly, and his face turned blue and red.
He...can't beat Lu Yu.
I was still a little sore from the beating I received from Lu Yu the day before yesterday.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Ji scolded!
Ji Hongyu immediately fell silent and returned to his position honestly.
Others did not dare to say anything, and the hall fell into silence again.
"Goodbye!" Mrs. Ji shouted.
This time, Lu Yu followed everyone and bowed down together.
There are not many people in this world who can make Lu Yu kneel down, and Mr. Ji is one of them.
…
After paying homage to Mr. Ji, the Ji family's family banquet officially began.
Everyone, three or five, found their seats and sat down.
Of course, this seat is not for anyone to sit in. Big families have big family rules, and everything must be done with etiquette.
Mrs. Ji sat at the head of the high platform, with several long tables placed on her left and right sides. The second-generation and third-generation children sat separately.
