Chapter 126
Ji Fengfan received a call from the old house the next afternoon. It was still the housekeeper Uncle Wang who called, and he only said that his grandfather asked him to go back and had something to discuss with him.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Fengfan sneered. Ha, he really went to complain. His usually gentle and refined elder brother must be getting a little restless. He wondered what role he played in fueling the flames of this incident and using Ji Fenghe as a gun.
The old man called personally, so he had to go back. After get off work, he called Xia Qingqian and said he had to go back to the old house and would be back later.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Xia Qingqian said while holding the phone, and then quickly hung up the phone with a red face.
Ji Fengfan looked at the hung up phone and chuckled.
Drove to the Ji family’s old house.
After entering the room, Ji Fengfan saw only Uncle Wang. He glanced at the restaurant and saw that the servants were still preparing dinner. The others were probably in their rooms upstairs.
When Uncle Wang saw him, he hurried over to greet him, "Master Fan, you're here."
"Uncle Wang~" Ji Fengfan nodded slightly.
"Master...he is waiting for you in the ancestral hall. Please come over." Uncle Wang hesitated and finally said it.
The ancestral hall is the place where the Ji family's family rules are implemented, and breaking the family rules will inevitably lead to a beating.
Ji Fengfan walked through the living room expressionlessly towards the low house at the back of the villa.
Pushing open the door of the low house, Old Man Ji was sitting on the wooden chair right above. His face was serious and majestic. He held a whip in his hand and stared at Ji Fengfan who had entered the room with a sharp gaze. He shouted two words coldly, "Kneel down."
Ji Fengfan obediently bent his knees and knelt on the cold floor with his back straight. Although he was kneeling, his eyes were firm and unyielding. Instead, he felt neither humble nor arrogant, not guilty, and even less afraid.
Old Master Ji was also stunned for a moment by the look in his eyes, but only for a moment. He raised the long whip in his hand and slammed it heavily on the ground. There was a snapping sound. If this whip hit his body directly, his skin would be torn apart immediately.
"What? Have you grown too powerful? I asked you to come back but you didn't want to. Do you want to flatter others outside? In public, you even hurt your own brother for a woman. Is this what the Ji family taught you?" Old Master Ji asked in a strong voice.
Ji Fengfan pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he didn't intend to say anything for himself.
His silence made Old Man Ji even angrier. He stood up from his chair and walked in front of Ji Fengfan. "Don't you have anything to say? Your second brother was beaten by you and his face and body are covered with wounds. How could you be so harsh!"
Ji Fengfan snorted coldly. He really didn't know that he could hurt someone so badly with one punch. It seemed that someone had exaggerated the situation and had seriously injured himself just to let him be whipped in front of his grandfather.
"What's your attitude?" Old Master Ji was completely enraged by his attitude. He raised the whip in his hand and whipped Ji Fengfan hard on the back. With this whip, his white shirt was torn directly, and a bright red blood mark immediately appeared.
The skin on his back was torn apart all of a sudden, causing burning pain. He gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You already believe Ji Fenghe, right? I have nothing to say."
"Okay, okay, okay, you've been messing around outside for the past few years. Today, I'm going to make you think carefully about the Ji family's rules!" After Grandpa Ji finished speaking, he raised the whip in his hand and hit him on the back again and again. After more than ten whips, his back was completely unrecognizable and bloody.
Ji Fengfan clenched his fists tightly, kneeling motionlessly and enduring the heavy whips that fell one after another. The pain of the whips tearing the skin on his back seemed to be less than one tenth of the pain in his heart. He seemed to feel no pain and did not even utter a slight groan.
After whipping the man more than ten times, Mr. Ji finally stopped. He was still furious. After throwing the whip on the ground, he said, "You will reflect on your mistakes in front of the wall in the ancestral hall tonight," and left.
Ji Fengfan lowered his head, still kneeling on the ground, dumbfounded, speechless, motionless, as if he had lost all his energy. His entire back was burning with pain, and even though he couldn't see it, he could guess that the injury was serious.
Ji Fengfan's physical fitness is usually good and he is a person who exercises regularly. However, when Old Man Ji was a soldier when he was young, he was very strong. Although he is old now, he is still strong and his hands are very strong. If it were someone else, he would have fainted and needed to be carried to the hospital after he whipped him more than ten times.
Ji Fengfan took out his cell phone from his pocket and sent a WeChat message to Xia Qingqian, making an excuse that he was on a temporary business trip. How could he go back to see her in this state?
On the Ji family’s dining table.
The family was sitting in order and eating dinner. No one spoke. Everyone could see that the old man was in a bad mood tonight, and no one dared to speak.
Ji Fenghe had bruises on his face and forehead, so he didn't dare to act recklessly. He just lowered his head and ate obediently.
Last night, he deliberately asked someone to make the injuries on his face more miserable, and there were some new bruises on his body. Then he went to find his grandfather early in the morning and exaggerated the incident of meeting Ji Fengfan last night. Of course, it was only his one-sided story, so it was impossible for his grandfather to be so angry. But he said that he went to the dinner with his eldest brother, and then his eldest brother was called into the study by his grandfather. He didn't know what the conversation between his eldest brother and grandfather was, and he didn't care. Anyway, his grandfather was very angry.
As long as his goal was achieved, it would be fine. He just couldn't stand Ji Fengfan's indifferent look. Who would believe that he wouldn't care about the Ji family's huge assets?
When he came back in the evening and heard that his grandfather had called Ji Fengfan to the ancestral hall, he was secretly happy for a long time. He was still being stubborn yesterday, but today he had to come back obediently and be whipped.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms without even staying in the living room for long. It was unclear whether they really didn't know that Ji Fengfan was still kneeling there after being whipped in the ancestral hall, or whether they were just pretending to be stupid. In short, no one asked about this matter.
Mr. Ji seemed to have no appetite for dinner. He didn't eat and went back to his room early.
After Uncle Wang, the housekeeper, sent him back to his room, he asked tentatively, "Master, Master Fan is still in the ancestral hall. How about I send him some food? He has to eat."
"Even if skipping a meal won't starve him to death, he should be made to reflect on himself, and no one is allowed to visit him." Old Master Ji was still angry and didn't listen to anyone.
Uncle Wang hesitated to speak, not daring to say anything more.
