Chapter 1058 - The Ouyang Family's Guilt
The dinner was very sumptuous, Ouyang Zongheng sat on the chairman's seat, followed by Ouyang Burong sitting on the second seat, Ouyang Mengyue sitting beside him, and and Ji Anning at the opposite side."An Ran, Daddy knows nothing about your past. Daddy really wants to know how you passed the past few years. Can you chat with us for a bit?" Ouyang Burong asked with concern.
Ji Anning's expression slightly froze. She pondered for a moment, and before he knew what to say, Ji Tianci spoke up, "It's not convenient to say it out loud. I'll say it!"
Ji Anning was slightly startled, why did his brother rush to say it? In fact, he would never tell them about what had happened in the past. She did not want them to worry about his again.
However, Ji Tianci had a different mindset from her. If he wanted to return to the Ouyang Family, then he would definitely make them accept her. If he were to speak of her true past, it would cause the hearts of the people of the Ouyang Family to ache and feel guilty."An Jing only returned to the Ji Clan three years ago. Before that, she lived a very miserable life, and was brought up and raised by her adoptive mother." Ji Tianci spoke the truth.
Ji Anning pursed his lips and looked at his brother.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ouyang Zongheng and Ouyang Burong looked over guiltily as expected.
Gong Yuze muttered to himself and sighed softly, "When I first met An Ran, she wasn't the young miss of the Ji Family. I understand the grievances and hardships she had to suffer the best."Ji Anning turned his head to look at the man beside him. Did even he have the same thoughts as his big brother?
"The peaceful mother left her when she was three months old. Her adoptive mother was just an ordinary woman who had never married. She raised her on her own and had to rely on each other for survival." Ji Tianci opened his mouth again.'s eyes instantly turned red. Even though she was also the daughter of the Ouyang Family, she had been held in the palm of her hands by her family since she was young.
That year, he forcefully prevented his son from being with Ji Ya. He did not know that she was already pregnant with a son of the Ouyang Family, and he remembered that Ji Ya had come to his house a few times, but was rejected at the door by him.
At this moment, how ruthless he was back then. Today, he felt how deep his guilt was. Before, he was shocked and in disbelief at the appearance of his granddaughter. Now, after hearing about her ancestry, his heart filled with intense regret.
Ouyang Burong's voice was choked with emotions and became hoarse, "Then what about the peaceful foster mother? I have to be grateful to her. "Ji Anning said softly, "She passed away four years ago."
"Grandpa, dad, big sis is too pitiful." Ouyang Mengyang was truly moved.
"Grandpa Ji had instructed me before he died to not send her back to the Ouyang family, but An Ran has been searching for her father. I can't bear to tell her everything. She has come with determination." Ji Tianci's gaze was gentle but carried a trace of helplessness.But his words, were like two sharp blades that stabbed at Ouyang Burong and Ouyang Zongheng's body, they had never heard of the existence of this child, and yet she actually ignored the grudges between the two families, and wholeheartedly wanted to recognize him as her father.
"An Jing, this is your home. You are a child of our Ouyang Family, and you will always be one." Ouyang Burong said firmly.
Ouyang Zongheng looked at Ji Anning, his eyes full of guilt and regret, and said, "Tomorrow, I will get the butler to engrave An Ran's name into the Ancestral Book."
Ji Anning's eyes moistened as he nodded his head.
A sliver of gratification flashed past Gong Yuze's eyes, which were also wet.Ji Tianci quietly held his teacup and took a sip of tea. He had said what he needed to say, if the Ouyang Family did not express his stance, he truly did not have any intentions of going with Ji Anning, but Ouyang Family's attitude made him quite satisfied.
At least there was nothing of the frivolity and coldness he had imagined.During the dinner, Ouyang Burong asked about some of the details of her meeting with the Ji Clan. After hearing that she was holding a jade pendant to find her family, even if Ji Anning didn't feel anything from her, hearing it in the hearts of the already guilty Ouyang Family members was already enough to make them feel even worse.
Gong Yuze gracefully ate his dinner. Sometimes, when Ji Anning was listening seriously to his lecture, he would peel the prawns off from his plate and place them into her bowl. Or cut a steak for her.To love someone was to wholeheartedly pay attention to them.
Ji Tianci rarely spoke, and only asked Ouyang Burong some questions about the Ji Family's business, which Ji Tianci did not resist.
After dinner, it was almost 9. Ouyang Mengyue held Ji Anning's hand, asking her if she wanted to stay home tonight. She had a lot of things he wanted to say to her, and Ji Anning agreed.
Gong Yuze did not force it, he could just send Ji Tianci back to the hotel now and see you tomorrow.
At night, Ji Anning and Ouyang Mengyue slept in her room. The two girls of the same age, chatted and talked about life and dreams, and also talked about love. After listening to the path of love between Ji Anning and Ji Anning, Ouyang Mengyue was moved to a state of confusion.Fortunately, fate pulled them together again. She really envied them for having such a passionate love affair. Every girl's heart yearned for such a wonderful romantic love story.
However, Ouyang Mengyue helplessly told her everything that had happened since she was young. Her life had always been based on the thoughts of her family.
As for his feelings, they were still completely blank. He hadn't even given her his first kiss.
Of course, she was embarrassed to tell Ji Anning about this point. She had always been listening to her love, and gave birth to illusions about her future love life.
"Xiao Yue, what request do you have for your other half?" Ji Anning rested her hands on her pillow. Under the dim yellow light, her eyes were clear and full of curiosity.
Ouyang Mengyue also tilted her body, a hand held onto her somewhat hot face, and Ji Tianci's figure flashed past her mind. As for his appearance, she chose to shake her head, "I haven't thought about it in detail."
Ji Tianci was definitely Ji Anning's big brother, and she was also her little sister. How could she say that Ji Tianci actually fit the requirements of her other half?"Don't worry!" With your qualifications and your family background, you will definitely find the perfect partner. " Ji Anning comforted her.
Ouyang Mengyue smiled and nodded, "I believe that I will find it too."
