“Big Brother said that he would help me find the best lawyer.” Zhang Li looked at Zhang Ji pleadingly. “Second Brother, help me. I don’t want to have anything to do with Jing Mo anymore. Big Brother is unwilling to help me. 1 can only beg you.”

Zhang Ji’s expression turned cold, and his voice turned colder. “How do you want Big Brother to help you? In the bureaucracy, the higher one’s status is, the more they have to tread on thin ice. If Big Brother really agrees to this, he won’t be able to pass Dad’s test, let alone others.”

Zhang Li looked a little embarrassed. She looked at Zhang Ji pleadingly. “But 1 want to throw up at the thought of my marital relationship with him. I feel like I’m better off dead, Second Brother.”

Zhang Ji frowned deeply. He looked at Zhang Li and some scenes from his childhood appeared in his mind.

At that time, Zhang Li was the only girl in the family. The three of them doted on Zhang Li. Every time Zhang Li went out, he and Big Brother would always be by her side, afraid that she would be bullied.

However, Zhang Li gradually started to annoy the two of them, especially after she got to know Jing Mo. If he and Big Brother casually asked about her, she would definitely be angry.

Zhang Ji sighed. “You’re already an adult. There are many principles that you don’t need me to teach you. Back then, we tried our best to stop you from being with Jing Mo, but you were stubborn. For him, you didn’t contact anyone in the family for more than 20 years. It’s fine with Big Brother and me, but you never even asked about Dad.”

Zhang Ji paused for a moment, his words mixed with disappointment and helplessness. “In the past 20 years, Dad hasn’t had a comfortable New Year. Old people like to liven things up, but he never went to anyone else’s house to visit during the New Year. When someone came to visit, it was completely handed over to Big Brother and me. Guess why?”

Zhang Li’s lips trembled and her eyes turned red.

Zhang Ji heaved a long sigh of relief. “In the first few years, every time he met someone he knew, someone would ask him about you, especially when the family was reunited during the new year.”

Zhang Li could no longer hold it in. She opened her mouth and cried until she could not breathe.

Although Zhang Ji expected better from Zhang Li, he didn’t feel good seeing her like this. He sighed and softened his tone. “Since the past has already happened, it’s an unchangeable fact. You don’t want to have anything to do with Jing Mo. Can you really pretend that you never had anything to do with each other after the divorce was successful? I can understand that you want a divorce, but you can’t be too anxious about anything.”

Zhang Li cried by herself. It was unimown if she heard Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji took a few tissues and handed them to her. He said, “Also, it’s not that Big Brother doesn’t want to help you. His current identity and position are more sensitive.”

Zhang Li took the tissue and nodded, but she did not say anything.

If it were when he saw Zhang Li crying like this when he was young, Zhang Ji would have long tried his best to coax her.

However, he did not say a word of comfort even after opening his mouth a few times. He only knew how to coax his wife now. He did not even know how to coax his youngest son when he saw him cry, let alone his sister.

“I’m going upstairs to talk to Big Brother about something. Go wash your face. Dad should be back soon.” Zhang Ji went upstairs after saying this.

When he knocked on the study door, Zhang Jing was reading a document. He looked up and saw that it was him. He asked casually, “She went to look for you.”

He used an affirmative tone.

Zhang Ji nodded helplessly. He knew his sister very well.

“Tell the chauffeur to pay attention to her movements every time she goes out recently. Try not to let her look for Jing Mo,” Zhang Jing said.

Zhang Ji smiled. “You still don’t understand our sister. If she really wants to look for Jing Mo, who can stop her?”

Zhang Jing frowned slightly. “Then let the chauffeur follow her closely. We can’t let her do the same thing that she did last time.”

Zhang Ji nodded and sighed. “1 have to say that her temper is exactly the same as our father’s. She dares to stab someone with a knife in the hospital. To be honest, 1 actually want to beat that scumbag up.”

Zhang Jing glared at him. “Are you a child too? If hitting someone could solve the problem, the two of them wouldn’t be in such a deadlock now.”

Zhang Ji smiled. “I was just saying. I only did this when 1 was young.”

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows. “1 remember that somebody is still fighting with others in his twenties. Why is that?”

Zhang Ji’s face stiffened. That was because that group of people was making fun of Yu He. Would he still be a man if he didn’t make a move?

“What did Liang Xun say?” Zhang Ji changed the topic..
