Crying Brothers: The Little Sister We Hate Is Actually a Bigshot

Chapter 10

The parents of the Ji family were very happy, and Ji Ling was also somewhat happy. The other brothers didn’t show much emotion, while Ji Yao was very disappointed.

Zi Zhu’s feelings were complicated. From now on, she would be known as Ji Jing. She still wasn’t used to this name or having blood-related older brothers. Obviously, they didn’t have much fondness for her either. She wondered why they insisted on bringing her back, especially since they didn’t seem to like her. Considering their efforts to find her, five million yuan was not a small sum of money, and it was possible that it was a request from the elders in the family. She also didn’t know what attitude her biological parents had towards this.

However, there was a high probability that she needed to rely on the Ji family to avoid the thunderstorm. She believed she could endure a little longer and avoid making her relationship with the Ji family too stiff. At least, she should get along well with the parents of the Ji family for a while, which would be a way to repay their kindness in raising her.

Zi Zhu, now Ji Jing, returned to the Ji family on a sunny afternoon. Ji Hui led her inside, followed closely by Ji Ying and Ji Yi. Before they even reached the door, Ji Ming had opened it and said, “Jing Jing, I’m your father. Welcome home. From today on, this is your home!”

Ji Jing could feel the sincere joy and excitement from Ji Ming and responded with a smile, “Thank you.” She still wasn’t used to calling someone else “father,” but she was trying to open up to Ji Ming. He put his arm around her and led her inside, where Ji Ling and the others were waiting on the couch.

Ji Ming introduced everyone, and they each presented her with a gift. Ji Ling was the first to step forward and give Ji Jing a gift, saying, “Jing Jing, welcome home. I’m Ji Ling, your eldest brother. There are nine brothers and one sister in the family. Our youngest sister, Yao Yao, couldn’t come today because she’s not feeling well. Fourth, second, seventh, and eighth brothers are not in C city because they have something to do. You will meet them in the future.”

Ji Hui, Ji Ying, and Ji Yi also introduced themselves formally and presented Ji Jing with a gift. Ji Jing was somewhat surprised. When they got out of the car, she noticed that they all had something in their hands, but she thought they were gifts for their parents, not for her. During her time at the Taoist temple, she rarely received such solemn gifts. In any case, the Ji family was sincerely welcoming her back.

Ji Jing also expressed her gratitude one by one.

Ji Lan was the last to give his gift. He wasn’t used to this sentimental scene and only said, “Um, this is for you.”

Ji Jing took it and said, “Thank you.”

After receiving all the gifts, Ji Ming arranged for Ji Yi to show Ji Jing the layout of the rooms.

Ji Yi then took Ji Jing upstairs.

Ji Ming was in the living room and asked, “Why don’t you all stay for dinner? We can welcome Jing Jing properly tonight.”

Ji Lan said, “No, Dad, the basketball team has practice tonight.”

Ji Hui said, “I’m going to accompany Yao Yao tonight.”

Ji Ming frowned and said, “Today is Jing Jing’s first day back, and you guys…”

Ji Ying sat down and looked at his father, “Dad, I’ll say something unpleasant. Family affection is something that is cultivated. We really owe her for what happened in the past. We prepared gifts and followed your suggestion to welcome her, but it’s impossible for me to treat her the same as Yao Yao.”

Ji Lan also nodded, “That’s right, Dad. And don’t forget, Yao Yao is still in the hospital. You should care more about her too.”

Ji Hui didn’t say anything, but he also meant the same thin.

Ji Ming looked at his sons in silence for a few seconds and said, “Go wherever you want! I’m waiting for the day you regret it.”

The Ji brothers shrugged and left on their own.

Ji Yi took Ji Jing around and then returned to the room on the side of the second floor, and opened the door.

Ji Jing looked at the room filled with various items and was slightly shocked. She had never lived in such a luxurious room before, “Thank you, but you don’t have to prepare so much for me.”

Ji Yi frowned, “You are our sister and the daughter of the Ji family. This is all that you should have.”

Ji Yi paused and continued, “But I also have to say that kindness from birth parents cannot compare to kindness from adoptive parents. Yao Yao will always be our sister. You should be more cautious in the Ji family. Especially with those feudalistic ideas from your religious beliefs. We won’t force you to stop, but don’t embarrass us in front of others.”
