Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Damocles Sword
During the remaining National Day holiday, Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong were busy contacting wedding companies and designing invitations.
After all, the time was a bit tight, but fortunately, both of them were experienced, so it was quite easy to handle.
In just two or three days, the preparations were completed, and now they just needed to wait for the auspicious day to arrive to witness their son’s wedding with their own eyes.
For parents, being able to witness their child’s wedding is an incredibly happy event.
…………..
Night…..
Ji Yunqi and Ye Mingkong lay in bed. Perhaps due to the wedding preparations, they were a bit too excited, and couldn’t sleep even at this hour.
“Honey, are you looking forward to that day?” Ye Mingkong suddenly asked.
Ji Yunqi couldn’t quite understand his meaning. That was her son, how could she not look forward to her son’s wedding?
“I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time.”
“Actually… when Chengyun was still young, I was already imagining what her marriage would be like,” Ji Yunqi said, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
In this world, every father has two most exciting days for their son.
The day of birth and the day of marriage.
But for Ji Yunqi, it was completely different. Although Ji Chengyun was often naughty and mischievous when he was young, Ji Yunqi saw all of this as part of her son’s growth.
She was willing to guide her son correctly and educate him properly.
She had heard people online say that families with sons only have two happy days: the day of birth and the day of marriage. They wouldn’t be happy at other times.
They also said that families with daughters only have two unhappy days: the day of birth and the day of marriage. They would be happy every other day.
However, when Ji Yunqi heard these words, she strongly disagreed.
Because in Ji Yunqi’s opinion, whether it’s a son or a daughter, they are the treasures of a family. There’s no such thing as happy or unhappy days.
They are all her children, so how could she play favorites?
However…
If these people’s words were to be taken literally, Ji Yunqi really didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry on the wedding day.
The fact that her son and daughter-in-law’s souls had switched places was truly…
Would she be the parent of the bride or the groom then?
Was she marrying her son to a wife, or marrying her son off?
Ji Yunqi was also confused…
This time, she truly had a son and raised him for over twenty years, and now he had become a daughter. She didn’t know if it was a temporary experience.
………..
Seeing Ji Yunqi lost in thought, Ye Mingkong couldn’t help but recall other things.
Like the parents of his current body…
The only thing he knew was that these parents were together through a commercial marriage, and neither seemed very willing to interact with the other.
This resulted in the original host never receiving parental love since childhood and always being alone.
Unloved, unasked, uncared for, unconcerned.
From the messages Ye Mingkong saw on his phone, his last conversation with his parents dated back at least 4 years ago.
Because this phone was replaced four years ago and has been used until now.
His only connection to his parents was the tens of thousands of yuan that mysteriously appeared in his account each month, sometimes even over a hundred thousand…
Apart from this information, Ye Mingkong had no more material about his parents.
He didn’t even know where they were, or if they were alive or dead, which made Ye Mingkong feel very uneasy, as these parents could be considered a ticking time bomb.
Because this couple was a commercial marriage, Ye Mingkong didn’t know if these two would suddenly appear one day and want him to marry…
No, it should be marry someone…
But his eyes were only on his husband––Ji Yunqi!
He had never met these parents, so there was no reason to follow their wishes.
Moreover… their real son was already dead!
He had no need or obligation to help parents he didn’t know do things he absolutely didn’t want to do.
However, they were still the original host’s parents, and what they would do was completely unknown. If they never bothered him in this life, Ye Mingkong wouldn’t believe it.
To these high-ranking individuals, he was definitely valuable, and they might come looking for him at any time.
These parents were like a Damocles sword hanging over his head, which could fall at any moment, and he had to be prepared to deal with it.
Ye Mingkong’s gaze towards the petite person beside him also changed. He couldn’t imagine how his husband had gotten through his childhood alone.
Even though he had heard about his husband’s childhood many times over the years, he still felt heartbroken. At that time, his husband was such a pitiable person, yet he bore so many burdens alone.
Even his husband’s current background was similar, being alone…
Ye Mingkong truly began to feel sorry for Ji Yunqi, because his husband had no family in both lives, wasn’t that also a kind of tragedy?
………..
“Hi, Yunqi, long time no see, miss me~” Tang Yun’er approached Ji Yunqi as soon as she saw her in the classroom, lifting her chin with one hand, looking like a flirtatious young man teasing a respectable woman.
Facing this “little friend” in Ji Yunqi’s eyes, she naturally went along with her words: “Of course, my dear little friend Tang Yun’er, did you miss me?”
“Mmm, of course~” After a simple greeting, Tang Yun’er scrutinized Ji Yunqi.
It was because she seemed to have noticed that the person in front of her seemed to have changed a bit…
Was it… become more charming?
But was that right?
Not long ago, she was just an undernourished little loli, how could she have become charming in half a month?
“Little loli, you seem to have changed a bit~”
Ji Yunqi’s heart gave a start: “Wh-where have I changed?”
Tang Yun’er’s eyes kept scanning Ji Yunqi, but in the end, she couldn’t pinpoint anything specific, “It’s nothing, maybe I’m mistaken.”
“Okay…”
Ji Yunqi touched the invitation in her schoolbag, wondering whether to give Tang Yun’er an invitation, after all, her relationship with Tang Yun’er was quite good now.
After thinking for a long time, Ji Yunqi finally gave up the idea. Even though her relationship with Tang Yun’er was good now, they were still just ordinary friends.
She wasn’t close to her son Ji Chengyun, so there was no need to send her an invitation, and it would be troublesome to explain if anything happened.
It was too troublesome, so forget it. It would be enough to invite Jiang Youwei and some people they had interacted with before, as their family’s social circle was actually not very wide.
Ji Yunqi herself was an orphan and had no relatives. Her wife’s side had also almost completely cut off contact with her maternal family due to conflicts with her father-in-law.
The number of people who could be invited was very limited. She could only see how many people Luo Yao could invite. It was estimated that it wouldn’t be many, after all, Luo Yao was also…
Pretty much done.
However, now that she was at school, she could give the invitation to Jiang Youwei. This family must be invited.
The morning classes ended quickly, and Ji Yunqi took the invitation and headed towards Jiang Youwei’s office.
“Hey, Yunqi, where are you going?” a voice came from behind Ji Yunqi. Looking back, it was indeed Jiang Beiyun.
“To find your dad.” Ji Yunqi didn’t want to be so polite to Jiang Beiyun anymore. After all, her affairs would eventually be known by Jiang Youwei, and then Jiang Beiyun would also know about it.
If she was too polite to this kid now, she wouldn’t know how to talk to him later, so it was better to speak casually from now on.
“Then I’ll accompany you. I’m free, how about it?”
Ji Yunqi was slightly stunned. Why would this kid accompany her? Didn’t he try to stay as far away from his dad as possible whenever he had the chance? Why was he thinking of finding Jiang Youwei again?
And why did your face suddenly turn red?!!
Ji Yunqi’s intuition told her that this kid was not right, very not right!
“Let me help you with your schoolbag.” Saying that, Jiang Beiyun took her schoolbag without waiting for Ji Yunqi’s consent, his movements flowing smoothly, leaving Ji Yunqi stunned.
How could this kid be so skilled at grabbing someone’s schoolbag that the bag was already on Jiang Beiyun’s shoulder before she could even react?
This left Ji Yunqi unable to say anything…
“Then… alright…”
Ji Yunqi didn’t say anything in the end. Anyway, the things in her schoolbag were to be handed over to Jiang Youwei soon, so it was good to let this kid carry it.
There were also a few books in the schoolbag, which were quite heavy, so she could relax a bit. Having a porter was really great~
“Then, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Beiyun looked expectant, as if something good was about to happen.
Ji Yunqi was now even more certain that this kid was not right. Why was he so excited?
It was as if he had gone into heat. Even if he had gone into heat, it was too far from his usual image. What was he up to?
Forget it, let’s just go. This kid would know to follow.
“Hey, hey, hey, Yunqi, walk slower, wait for me.”
