Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Painful Past (28)
In the following days, Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu argued increasingly frequently, and their relationship had become extremely tense.
That day, Ji Yuqiao brought gifts she had bought from outside, hoping to give them to Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu, perhaps to ease the tension between them.
However, as she happily approached the study with the gifts, she heard arguing coming from inside again.
Ji Yuqiao was about to push the door open but paused, standing outside and listening to the quarrel within.
Their argument was too intense; every sentence spoken was like a sharp dagger, stabbing into each other’s hearts and causing Ji Yuqiao’s eyes to redden.
Ji Yuqiao gritted her teeth but couldn’t hold back and finally pushed the door open, “Enough fighting!”
“Always Wen Li, Wen Li—I’m sick of it, I hate you both!” she yelled at them, threw the gifts on the floor, and ran out of the villa without looking back.
Ji Yuqiao didn’t call the family driver and instead ran to the roadside to hail a taxi to school.
She sat listlessly in the classroom, not hearing a single word the teacher said, supporting her head with one hand, fuming inwardly.
She didn’t understand what was so likable about Wen Li; both her elder and second brothers were so fond of her.
Ji Yuqiao cursed Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu three hundred times in her heart until a classmate reminded her it was time to go to the sports field for physical education, and she stopped her tirade.
During the physical education class, while she sullenly ran the 800 meters, she suddenly noticed the strange stares from her classmates.
She was clueless until a girl pointed out that her pants were dirty—that’s when she realized her period had started.
Facing the snickers of her classmates, Ji Yuqiao’s face turned beet red, her mind went blank, and she stood there, paralyzed with embarrassment.
Just when she almost wished she could sink into a hole in the ground from shame, a boy appeared and lent her his jacket.
She remembered this boy.
He was the boy she had met by chance when she was lost previously. Not only had he sheltered her from the rain, but he had also given her a band-aid to protect a cut on her finger.

At the time, Ji Yuqiao hadn’t asked his name, and she hadn’t expected to meet him again at school.
He appeared once and again in her moments of difficulty, helping her overcome challenges.
Could this be the hero often talked about on TV?
Ji Yuqiao’s eyes instantly lit up.
“I’ve met someone I like.” When Ji Yuqiao returned home and was dining with her two brothers, she blurted out.
Ji Tingyang’s expression immediately darkened, and Ji Zeqiu also frowned, looking over.
“Who is he?” Ji Tingyang asked.
Ji Yuqiao held her cheeks in her hands, her eyes sparkling, “He’s a senior at our school, named Xiao Yu, he’s so nice—he helped me when I was lost…”
“You can’t like him.”
Her words were cut off abruptly as Wen Li, unable to wait, interrupted her.
Ji Yuqiao glared angrily at Wen Li, “Why can’t I like him!”
She wasn’t like her elder and second brother, fond of Wen Li, nor would she listen to Wen Li’s words.
“Because, because…” Wen Li hesitated for a moment, then said, “He’s my boyfriend, he likes me.”
Ji Yuqiao stunned for a moment, then a sneer crossed her face, “Oh? Then if he knows that you’re living at my house, entangled with my elder and second brothers, wouldn’t he be disappointed in you and break up with you?”
Hearing this, Wen Li’s complexion turned deathly pale, and she murmured softly, “It’s not like… I want to stay here…”
Ji Yuqiao snorted coldly, lost her appetite, and went back to her room.
However, she never expected that Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu would come to find her later, urging her to give up as well.
“I don’t want to, why should I give up?” Ji Yuqiao’s face was full of defiance. “You can like Wen Li, why can’t I like Xiao Yu?”
“That Xiao Yu is just a poor boy, what’s there to like about him?” Ji Tingyang had already investigated Xiao Yu’s background.
“So what if he’s a poor boy? Weren’t we also penniless when we were kids? What right do you have to look down on him?” Ji Yuqiao roared.
“What’s so good about that man?” Ji Zeqiu also spoke coldly.
“He is good, a hundred, a thousand times better than you!” Ji Yuqiao picked up a pillow from the bed and hit both of them, driving them out of her bedroom.
As if intentionally opposing her two brothers, Ji Yuqiao began to pursue Xiao Yu, unwilling to give up no matter how he rejected her.
Time passed again.
The relationship between the three siblings gradually became tense and cold… The butler watched from the side, sighing repeatedly, yet not knowing how to ease the atmosphere.
Until one time, when Ji Zeqiu tried to secretly take Wen Li out of the villa and was discovered by Ji Tingyang, the relationship between the two brothers completely broke down.
“Even if you take her away, where can she run to? As long as her parents work at Ji’s one more day, she can’t leave,” Ji Tingyang said coldly, his gaze sharply falling on Wen Li.
If he hadn’t happened to come back to get documents today, Ji Zeqiu might have succeeded in taking Wen Li away.
Hearing Ji Tingyang’s words, Wen Li, hiding behind Ji Zeqiu, trembled, “I… I should go back…”
Ji Zeqiu glared fiercely at Ji Tingyang but couldn’t utter a word to fight back because he knew Wen Li’s concerns.
“Butler, take her back to her room,” Ji Tingyang said.
The butler sighed inwardly and led Wen Li back upstairs.
Ji Yuqiao learned that Ji Tingyang and Ji Zeqiu had fought. When she rushed back from school, Ji Zeqiu had already moved out of the Ji Family house.
She couldn’t believe it, ran to Ji Zeqiu’s bedroom and pushed open the door, only to see the room clean and tidy, with all personal belongings gone.
She then ran to Ji Zeqiu’s newly bought apartment to find him. “Second brother, why did you move out? Is it because elder brother hit you? Come back with me, I’ll make elder brother apologize, okay? Please don’t leave, okay?”
Ji Zeqiu turned his head away, “It’s unrelated to that.”
“Then what is it related to? Because of Wen Li?” Ji Yuqiao said.
“You don’t understand, just go home,” Ji Zeqiu closed the door, driving Ji Yuqiao out.
Ji Yuqiao stood outside the door, her eyes red, calling out for a long time, but Ji Zeqiu remained indifferent.
She had no choice but to return home.
When she saw Ji Tingyang on the sofa, the tears in Ji Yuqiao’s eyes finally fell. “Elder brother, can you please ask second brother to come back home? Please let him come back.”
“If he wants to leave, let him leave. Why call him back?” Ji Tingyang said expressionlessly.
“But aren’t we a family? A family should always be together,” Ji Yuqiao said.
“Even if we are a family, there comes a day to part. No one will always be together,” Ji Tingyang said.
Ji Yuqiao was stunned.
“Bad elder brother, I hate you!” she yelled at Ji Tingyang and rushed back to her bedroom.
