Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 26 You reap what you sow
Ji Lingfeng spent the entire afternoon in the study, and it wasn't until evening that he stepped out, just in time to hear his grandfather and Ye Cheng talking in the kitchen.
"Grandpa, thank you for the gift! You have excellent taste; the necklace is so beautiful, I love it!"
It was Ye Cheng's sweet voice.
Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but sneer.
This woman's words are as sweet as honey; no wonder the old man is so easily charmed by her.
A gemstone necklace worth 800 million is something every woman would love.
Grandpa Ji said with a smile:
"Okay, I'm glad you like it. But the gift wasn't from Grandpa. It was bought for you by Ling Feng. That kid always pushes Grandpa's bad luck onto him and uses him as a scapegoat. He's all talk and no action!"
Ye Cheng said playfully, "Grandpa, I'll let you in on a secret, I actually guessed it too."
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingfeng's temples throbbed.
Grandpa Ji laughed heartily: "You little devil, you're very clever. You can't hide anything from her."
Ye Cheng added, "Grandpa, the main problem is that your grandson is not good at talking and looks cold and unpleasant."
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingfeng's forehead veins throbbed again.
Is this woman saying he's cold and smelly?
Grandpa Ji immediately chimed in:
"Yes, yes! Cold and smelly! Chengcheng, your comment is spot on, but Grandpa wants to add one more: dull and stupid!"
Ji Lingfeng: ...
One said it was cold and smelly, while the other said it was dull and stupid.
It's likely that the father and daughter-in-law are the real biological parents, as they're taking turns criticizing him behind his back.
Grandpa Ji continued reciting:
"This kid is always cold and aloof, and he's also a bit slow and clumsy. He's just not good at charming girls. Forget about finding a girlfriend, even female mosquitoes would reject him!"
"I've never seen this guy ever think about dating in his entire life, and he's scared all the girls around him away!"
"Chengcheng, this rascal is so lucky to have married you. It's the best thing Grandpa ever did. Getting you two married was the best thing I ever did, haha!"
"Grandpa's biggest wish right now is to hold his big, healthy great-grandson next year. Grandpa needs to get himself in great shape so he can help you take care of the baby. Hehe, Grandpa is already so happy just thinking about it!"
Ye Cheng remained silent for three seconds after hearing this.
I'm afraid Grandpa's wish to hold his great-grandson will be dashed.
His eldest grandson doesn't attract female mosquitoes; he's probably only interested in male mosquitoes.
Ji Lingfeng, who was eavesdropping outside, also frowned.
Grandpa now talks about holding his great-grandson all the time, and he eagerly waits for it every day.
The old man even mistakenly believed that he and Ye Cheng had consummated their marriage.
Little did he know that his plan was to appease his grandfather by getting the marriage certificate first, and then find an excuse not to get along to get a divorce six months later.
This woman named Ye Cheng is from a completely different world than him.
Even if she had no ulterior motives, he could never have fallen for such an ordinary woman.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Grandpa has already settled into the trap set by his granddaughter-in-law.
Six months later, he began to waver in his decision to divorce.
After all, his grandfather was his last relative. As long as the old man was happy, he was willing to make appropriate sacrifices and continue to play the role of a couple with Ye Cheng.
The couple, one in the kitchen and the other in the living room, each lost in their own thoughts.
Ye Cheng changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Grandpa, you're right. After spending a few days with him, I've discovered that although your grandson may seem cold and tough on the outside, he is indeed a kind and caring person."
"Of course! Chengcheng, Grandpa didn't lie to you, did he!"
Grandpa Ji looked proud again upon hearing this.
"Putting all that aside, my grandson is not only handsome and has a good character, but he was also a top student from a young age, graduating from university at 18, and has done an outstanding job since then!"
"He's like a workaholic when he's working. His grandfather often criticizes him, saying that no matter how much money he earns, it's just a number; personal issues are what really matter..."
Grandpa Ji couldn't stop praising his grandson, and as he was talking animatedly, he spotted his eldest grandson appearing in the kitchen.
Grandpa Ji realized he had said something he shouldn't have and stopped talking immediately.
"Ling Feng, you've come at the right time. Come and help Chengcheng pick vegetables."
Grandpa Ji tactfully changed the subject.
Ye Cheng glanced at Ji Lingfeng and chimed in, "Grandpa is praising you right now!"
In Grandpa Ji's eyes, this grandson is a workaholic who is good at making money and has an outstanding career, no wonder Ji Lingfeng is trying his best to maintain his image.
Actually, if you think about it, he must have had a very hard time keeping it a secret in this highly competitive society.
……
In the evening, the family of three sat around the dinner table for dinner.
Grandpa Ji and Ye Cheng chatted while eating, as if the two had endless things to say.
Ji Lingfeng felt like an outsider.
After the meal, Grandpa Ji asked his grandson to wash the dishes.
"Ling Feng, Chengcheng is tired from cooking, so you can wash the dishes tonight."
Ye Cheng was clearing away the dishes when she heard this and quickly looked up and said:
"No need, Grandpa, I'll do the washing. I'm used to doing these chores at home."
Grandpa Ji said with dissatisfaction:
“That was before. Back then, no one cared about my granddaughter-in-law when she was in her parents' home. Now that she’s married to my grandson, Ling Feng should take good care of her.”
Grandpa Ji was talking to Ye Cheng, but his eyes were fixed on his grandson.
This grandson of a man has no choice but to pretend to be a poor working-class guy. He doesn't let his granddaughter-in-law enjoy the good fortune; he should suffer a bit himself.
Seeing that Ji Lingfeng was still standing there in a daze, Grandpa Ji continued:
"When a man gets married, he should share the burden with his wife. Only when a man knows how to cherish his wife will the family be harmonious and happy. Do you hear me, Ling Feng?"
Ji Lingfeng, of course, heard it.
He stood there motionless not because he was unwilling, but because this third-generation rich kid had never washed dishes since he was a child.
Asking him to wash dishes is harder than asking him to write a paper or negotiate a business deal; he doesn't even know where to begin.
Ye Cheng was also stunned. Her grandfather's words warmed her heart.
After all, growing up, she had heard "brat" and "money-losing girl" most often; her family had never said such heartfelt words to her.
"Chengcheng, just let Lingfeng wash it."
Grandpa Ji sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea, crossed his legs, and looked smug.
Let him do what he wants and see how difficult it is for his granddaughter-in-law.
Ji Lingfeng entered the kitchen and frowned, unsure where to begin, looking at the mountain of pots and pans piled up in the sink.
At this moment, Ye Cheng came in, carrying a pink apron.
"Put this on, or you might end up washing the dishes and clothes together later."
After she finished speaking, she helped him put on his apron.
This man, who is as cold and aloof as an iceberg, becomes strangely comical when he puts on a pink apron.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
"Chengcheng, come over here and watch TV and chat with Grandpa."
Grandpa Ji was shouting at the top of his lungs in the living room.
"Oh, Grandpa's here."
Ye Cheng turned and left the kitchen, leaving the battlefield to Ji Lingfeng.
……
Ji Lingfeng washed a bowl for the first time in his life, without really understanding what was happening.
It took a full two hours.
He didn't know how he finally managed to wash all those pots and pans.
In short, this has opened up a new world for him.
After washing, the entire kitchen, along with everyone else, looked like they had just had a water fight, and were in a terrible state.
Grandpa Ji saw this and couldn't hide his pride.
This grandson, who grew up in a comfortable environment, is surrounded by a group of servants.
This time, he brought it on himself, so he has to suffer the consequences.
Even as his grandson went to bed, Grandpa Ji still watched him like a supervisor as he entered the master bedroom.
Ji Lingfeng entered the bedroom, but no one was there; Ye Cheng was still taking a shower in the bathroom.
He was about to go to the wardrobe to get a blanket when he suddenly froze.
A white bra with lace trim lay on the bed, exuding a fatal allure under the light.
Sure enough, this woman's traps were everywhere!
