After transmigrating into the book, she clung tightly to her captain husband and wouldn't let g

The next afternoon, when Song Qianyi and Ji Jingshen arrived at the Song family home after selecting birthday gifts, almost everyone in the Song family was there, but the male and female protagonists from the original novel had not yet arrived.

She had just entered the house with Ji Jingshen and changed her shoes when she heard a taunt: "Cousin, why did you bring him? He's dressed like a poor wretch. Is someone of his status allowed to attend our Song family's banquet? Aren't you ashamed?"

Her tone made it sound as if Ji Jingshen were some kind of filthy, shameful thing.

The one who spoke was her aunt's daughter, Chen Jialuo. She questioned him with a look of surprise, and when she looked at Ji Jingshen, there was undisguised sarcasm in her eyes.

Ji Jingshen was already used to being treated this way, and his expression remained calm, but Song Qianyi was not having it.

She frowned and retorted, "Cousin, that's not right. You're a rich second-generation who lives off others, so why do you look down on people who earn their living through their own abilities?"

Hearing this, Song Hongguo, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled with satisfaction on his dignified face.

"Well said! Our Qianyi has indeed grown up and become sensible."

Song Qianyi smiled and sat down next to Song Hongguo, handing him the gift: "Grandpa, happy birthday! This is a gift that Jing Shen and I picked out for you."

Song Hongguo patted her shoulder affectionately: "Qianyi and Jingshen are so thoughtful."

Chen Jialuo didn't expect Song Qianyi to defend Ji Jingshen. It was one thing to defend Song Hongguo, but Song Qianyi always stood by his side.

But Song Qianyi and Song Hongguo were having a good chat, and she couldn't get a word in edgewise. Even when she was rebuked and looked annoyed, she could only snort and stop talking.

Ji Jingshen, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised.

Normally, Song Qianyi would have turned away from him with disgust upon hearing these words, but today she was acting so unusually.

Song Hongguo noticed his thoughts and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked at Ji Jingshen and said in a deep voice, "Jingshen, come with me, I have something to say to you."

After saying that, he picked up his cane, stood up, and walked towards the study.

Ji Jingshen responded and obediently followed.

Upon arriving at the study, Song Hongguo sat down and gestured for Ji Jingshen to sit beside him.

He poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him: "It's been a long time since I've seen your grandfather. How has he been lately?"

Ji Jingshen held the teacup: "He's doing well, and he often talks about you."

Song Hongguo chuckled: "Ask that old guy when he's going to retire and go fishing with this old man? He's bored with work all day long."

Ji Jingshen calmly took a sip of tea: "He's still going strong for his age and he just enjoys doing these things. I reckon he can keep going for a few more years."

These words made Song Hongguo burst into laughter: "You kid, you must not want to go back and inherit the family business, that's why you're saying this!"

Ji Jingshen's grandfather was his comrade-in-arms. They retired from the army together and started a business together. Although they now work in different industries and the two old men are getting old and have little contact, the cooperation between the Song and Ji families has long been inseparable. They know each other's wealth and resources.

Ji Jingshen had no interest in inheriting the family business from birth; he only liked flying airplanes. That's why he concealed his identity and went to work for an airline, leaving the company to his grandfather to manage.

In the original book, he was merely a tool to highlight Song Qianyi's wickedness and stupidity, and there was little focus on him personally. Therefore, Song Qianyi was unaware of Ji Jingshen's true identity even after reading the entire book.

But others may not know, but does Song Hongguo not know?

He had always admired Ji Jingshen, not only for his ability but also for his courage to give up his vast wealth to pursue his dreams.

Unfortunately, he married Song Qianyi by a twist of fate, and was constantly criticized by her for being incompetent. This was probably the biggest setback Ji Jingshen had suffered in his life.

Thinking of this, Song Hongguo sighed.

“Jing Shen, Grandpa knows you’ve been wronged in the Song family. If you want to divorce Qian Yi, I won’t blame you.”
