After a flash marriage, I found myself marrying into a wealthy family

Chapter 214 Past Events

After the pleasant dinner, the group went home.

After a day of shopping, everyone was tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.

After Qiao Yue took a shower, she came out and called Li Qian to ask about the situation of the coffee shop these days.

Although she was on vacation, she couldn't just be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Seeing that she was busy, Ji Beichen went in to take a shower.

He came out after taking a shower and didn't see Qiao Yue in the room.

Ji Beichen walked to the small balcony and looked down. Qiao Yue was walking in the garden downstairs.

Qiao Yue also looked up and saw him, smiled at him and waved.

Ji Beichen turned around and went back to his room, changed his clothes, and went down to find her.

The garden downstairs is very large, and Qiao Yue is wandering around aimlessly.

"Why did you run down?" Ji Beichen walked over, holding a thin coat of his own in his hand, and put it on Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue: "I just want to come down and take a walk."

Ji Beichen: "Can't sleep? Is it because of jet lag?"

"That's right," Qiao Yue said with a smile, "Besides, I was crying and laughing at the dinner just now. I was a little emotional and couldn't sleep, so I thought I would take a walk and relax."

Ji Beichen teased her: "Myself? Can I leave then?"

"Oh," Qiao Yue quickly took his arm, "Come together, walk with me."

Ji Beichen pretended to be arrogant and said nothing.

Qiao Yue smiled, "Please, please take a walk with me."

Ji Beichen nodded and helped her put on her coat.

The night was dim, with a few stars twinkling occasionally.

The couple just held hands and walked quietly.

Not far away, the lights in other family rooms upstairs were turned off.

Qiao Yue: "It seems they have all slept and are tired today."

Ji Beichen said leisurely: "Mom made such a surprise today and made you all cry."

Qiao Yue: "But everyone is very touched, which is good."

She suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask Ji Beichen, but she didn't know if it was appropriate.

"that……"

Ji Beichen understood what she meant: "What do you want to ask?"

Qiao Yue: "It's nothing, I just heard you mention your eldest brother's matter before, and my mother mentioned it again today, so I..."

"But if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I'll just ask casually."

Ji Beichen: "It's nothing, I just never found a chance to tell you."

He took Qiao Yue and sat down on a chair in the garden.

Ji Beichen spoke slowly, "My mother has three sons. My eldest brother's name is Ji Beijie."

"He is the first child in our family. He must be loved and valued. You can tell by his name. Grandpa picked him personally. He is an outstanding Jie."

Qiao Yue looked at him and listened quietly.

Ji Beichen continued, "My mother always wanted a daughter, so she gave birth to me and my brother. I didn't expect that we would both be sons."

Speaking of this, Ji Beichen had a smile on his face, probably remembering the happy memories of his childhood.

"There are three boys in the family. They make noise every day and my mother has a headache. However, the eldest brother has been very sensible since he was a child. He helps mother take care of the two younger ones. If we get into trouble, it is the eldest brother who takes care of it..."

"He is also very good, because my father's personality is relatively introverted and not suitable for business, so the family has high hopes for the eldest brother. As soon as he graduated, his grandfather let him join the group's board of directors, and they all agreed that he was the successor to the group."

Qiao Yue heard this from her mother-in-law.

Her father-in-law seemed to have little interest in business, preferring literature instead. He also worked as a university professor for a period of time.

However, although my father-in-law does not like doing business, he is a good husband and is very good to his mother-in-law and several sons.

Ji Beichen continued, "With my eldest brother there for everything, my younger brother and I are relatively free. We don't have to follow so many rules or bear so much responsibility."

"Everything seems to be going well. The eldest brother slowly took over the affairs of the group from grandpa. He also got married and gave birth to a son..."

Qiao Yue asked, "Then...what happened next?"

Ji Beichen paused and looked into the distance, "Then the accident happened."

"That day, it was raining heavily. My brother drove out by himself and collided with a large truck on the road..."

Qiao Yue shook Ji Beichen's hand and comforted him.

"After being sent to the hospital, resuscitation was ineffective and the person was dead. My parents were on a business trip out of town at the time and didn't have time to come back. They didn't even see each other for the last time..."

Hearing this, Qiao Yue felt a little painful in her heart.

No wonder it was so difficult for the mother-in-law to accept it. It turned out that she had not even seen her son for the last time.

It was so uncomfortable for Qiao Yue, an outsider, to hear that. It was conceivable that their family, especially her mother-in-law, was in dire straits at that time.

Ji Beichen's voice was lowered, "The family is naturally turned upside down and immersed in grief."

"At that time, after I graduated, I planned to travel around the world for a year before returning to China, but I had no choice. My grandpa was seriously ill, so I had to stay with him."

"My eldest brother's responsibility has become mine to shoulder for him. I can only start following grandpa and get to that position in the Xingchen Group step by step."

Qiao Yue: "You are amazing, I am proud of you."

Ji Beichen: "Because I didn't want to stay in China and get hurt, my eldest brother's wife came to the United States with her son."

"My mother couldn't stay in China anymore. She often thought of my brother and cried until she collapsed. So my father also accompanied my mother to go abroad. Until now. You also know what happened next."

After hearing everything Ji Beichen said, Qiao Yue didn't know what to say.

Words of comfort seem a bit redundant at the moment.

Ji Beichen looked at her and said, "It's okay. The saddest time has passed. You don't have to feel sorry for me."

Qiao Yue curled her lips, "Why are you comforting me in turn?"

Ji Beichen: "Aren't I afraid that my wife will cry?"

He said slowly, "Dead people cannot be resurrected. I know that only those who are alive can live a good life to be worthy of those who are no longer alive."

Qiao Yue: "After these few years, I guess my mother has gradually accepted it. She is such a cheerful person, and it is not easy for her to go through such a thing."

"Well," Ji Beichen nodded, "The pain of losing a child cannot be easily cured. In the first year, my mother was even a little depressed."

"So we all pamper her. If she doesn't want to go back to China, we won't. As long as she is happy. Even grandpa respects him as his daughter-in-law."

"But fortunately, now that she can accept this fact, it means that she can move on and no longer be immersed in the pain."

Qiao Yue: "Thank you for telling me this."

Ji Beichen: "What's the point? Aren't you also from our family? And you're not doing it for gossip, but out of concern."

Qiao Yue looked at Ji Beichen. Although his current tone was not serious, but from his description, he and his eldest brother should have a good relationship.

Ji Beichen must have been very sad when his eldest brother left, but the responsibility on his shoulders did not allow him to be sad for too long, nor did he allow him to be vulnerable.

Qiao Yue rested her head on Ji Beichen's shoulder, "Next time you have a chance, take me to see my eldest brother. Let him see how outstanding his younger brother is now. Not only does his career go smoothly, but his family is also very happy."

Ji Beichen lowered his eyes and responded, "Yes, you reminded me that it's time to go see him and go back to China."

Qiao Yue held his hand tightly.

Ji Beichen reached out and touched her face, feeling a little cold: "Are you sleepy? Go back to sleep?"

Qiao Yue responded: "Well, let's go, we have to go see the wedding venue tomorrow."

But she remained motionless.

Ji Beichen twitched his lips and asked her in a low voice, "Carry you?"

Qiao Yue immediately agreed: "Okay!"

Ji Beichen smiled helplessly, stood up, and then bent down slightly.

Qiao Yue stood on the chair, climbed on Ji Beichen's back, and put her hands around his neck.

"Thank you for your hard work, husband."

Ji Beichen smiled and didn't answer, and walked into the house with her on his back.
