Di Mingjue ignored Lu Sisi's question and went straight upstairs.
The clamor of Di Jianhan from the courtyard drifted in. Lu Sisi, with her foot already on the first step, turned and headed back towards the courtyard.
"What is going on?"
Di Mingjue entered the room, and Jiang Ziyu immediately held up her phone to him. He took the tie and jacket she offered with one hand, and the phone with the other.
Di Mingjue sighed and pointed at the screen, saying, "As you can see."
"How could he say something like that?" Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but ask.
This was hardly the speech of a talented and learned Daoist; it was more vulgar than that of an uneducated farmer in the village.
Di Mingjue pressed his temples hard, an aura of gloom surrounding him.
Seeing his bad mood, Jiang Ziyu put down the clothes and sat beside him. She took his hand, her fingertips performing the action he had been doing. xxs
In the silence, they only needed the transfer of body heat to comfort their hearts.
Bang bang~
The sharp sound of the door being knocked echoed in their ears.
Di Mingjue's sharp gaze swept over them unhappily. He held back Jiang Ziyu, who was about to get up, and strode to the door.
Lu Sisi hadn't expected the door to open so quickly. Just as she was about to knock again, her hand was suspended in mid-air, hitting only air.
"Um, Brother Mingjue, Uncle is calling you downstairs," Lu Sisi relayed.
"Tell him I'm busy." With that, Di Jianhan couldn't spare another second, and the door slammed shut.
Lu Sisi was left feeling snubbed. Di Jianhan, downstairs, heard the loud slamming of the door and called up to the second floor, "He's not willing to come down?"
He was throwing such a tantrum?
It was just some online comments, was there anything else she didn't know?
Lu Sisi hurried down the stairs to the front hall.
"Uncle, besides the video incident online, did anything else happen between you and Brother Mingjue at the hospital?"
Di Jianhan's gaze shifted from the second floor. After careful consideration, he shook his head, "What could have happened? At most, the doctor told me to be hospitalized, and I didn't agree."
If he had truly stayed in the hospital, he would have handed over all control.
Before Lu Sisi could ask more, Di Jianhan took her hand, "What did he say just now? I asked him to come down, why isn't he coming?"
"Brother Mingjue said he's busy," Lu Sisi relayed faithfully.
Busy?
It was the middle of the day, and he was in his room. What could possibly be so busy?
Di Jianhan tilted his head up, his gaze automatically drawn towards the second floor.
"Go and ask him to come down. Tell him my body is starting to hurt again."
He pulled a servant beside him and instructed him to do it. He wouldn't let Lu Sisi handle such a bothersome task.
With a sense of trepidation, the servant went upstairs. Before he could even knock, the door opened. Di Mingjue, exuding an aura of murderous intent, brushed past the servant.
Hoo!
The servant exhaled heavily, he was truly scared to death. After catching his breath, he dared not delay and scurried to follow.
"Finished with your business?" Di Jianhan asked sarcastically upon seeing him.
Di Mingjue glanced up, "Your comments have already affected Di Jue Group. If you want to have a peaceful old age, it's best to pay attention to your words."
"Comments?" Di Jianhan found it amusing, "What comments have I made? Besides, do you look like a dutiful son now?"
He had been away from home for several years, and upon his return, he had lost all status. The old madam didn't rely on him, and even the younger Di Mingjue was starting to be overly critical of him.
The more they disliked his comments, the more Di Jianhan's rebellious spirit refused to comply with their wishes.
Seeing that he was once again in a lecturing tone, Di Mingjue pondered for a moment and, suppressing his temper, asked, "Can we communicate properly?"
At this moment, he truly regretted compromising and returning to live here.
Lu Sisi, seeing that the situation was not right, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Di Mingjue's arm, "Brother Mingjue, don't be angry. Uncle might have just returned and hasn't adjusted from the habits of our village yet."
