Even the upper class has its own internal divisions.

Although Ye Qingcheng is considered a wealthy man by many, he is only of average means in high society. He is only in the middle class because of one person: the Ji family, Ye Zhiwei's cousin's family.

The Ji family is at the very top of the pyramid of high society.

Ye Zhiwei's cousin, Ji Shuli, took his mother's surname. The Ji family only had one daughter, who was the mother of the second male lead, Ji Shuli. Ji Shuli was the only young master in the Ji family.

This is why Ye Yingying in the novel desperately tries to get close to Ji Shuli.

But what Ye Zhiwei found truly terrifying was that even someone from a wealthy family like the Ji family, who grew up showered with love and affection, was ultimately dealt with by Jiang Jianian.

What's even more frightening is that no one in the Ji family dared to seek justice from Jiang Jianian.

Ye Zhiwei didn't believe that the complicated Ji family hadn't found the murderer. Even if they hadn't found any clues, they could still suspect Jiang Jianian. But when she read the novel, not a single member of the Ji family dared to cause trouble for Jiang Jianian.

The only fatal flaw that led to Jiang Jianian's imprisonment was the female lead, Ye Yingying.

Ye Zhiwei saw that her cousin Ji Shuli's mind was suddenly filled with a bunch of plots, like a chain reaction, with one plot after another appearing in Ye Zhiwei's mind.

Although Ji Shuli is also destined to die and is a supporting character who will fight alongside her to defy fate, Ye Zhiwei is still very happy to see Ji Shuli at this moment.

Her cousin's appearance broke the awkwardness she felt in front of Jiang Jianian.

It's true that blood relatives are different.

"Cousin." (This is just part of the story.)

Before Ye Zhiwei realized she was part of the storyline, she had a good relationship with her cousin Ji Shuli. She was the type who would follow Ji Shuli around like a little shadow, while Ji Shuli would go out and play.

Ye Zhiwei was beautiful from a young age. People would tease the young master Ji Shuli for having a little tagalong. Ji Shuli didn't mind. He liked Ye Zhiwei, who would occasionally say a few words like a little adult. He doted on Ye Zhiwei and was happy to let her follow him around.

Later, when Ji Shuli's maternal grandfather fell critically ill and went abroad for treatment, needing his young grandson to accompany him, Ji Shuli passed away during the most intimate period of her relationship with Ye Zhiwei. While the old man's condition gradually stabilized and he recovered abroad, Ji Shuli had already been studying abroad all the way to university.

After a period of sadness at the beginning, Ye Zhiwei became happier later under the influence of money and food. This is probably the power of capital!

"Cousin, what brings you here!" Although filled with mixed emotions, Ye Zhiwei was still excited to see that she was no longer the carefree, lazy girl she used to be, but someone who was determined to avoid being dismembered. After analyzing the plot and recalling the past, she was still very excited.

Ji Shuli patted Ye Zhiwei's hair and smiled, "Our little Zhiwei has grown so tall, she must be a senior in high school now, right?"

Ye Zhiwei said smugly, "Of course! Cousin, don't change the subject. Why did you come back?"

Ji Shuli playfully pinched Ye Zhiwei's nose, glanced at Jiang Jianian standing to the side, pleased that Ye Zhiwei had come to his side after noticing him. He chuckled softly at Ye Zhiwei, "You little ingrate, you used to call me 'Brother Shuli, Brother Shuli,' and you insisted on following me everywhere. But after I left, you changed completely. At first, you could patiently answer the phone, but later you simply stopped answering altogether. Now you're unhappy to see me? What, you're allowed to ignore me, but your cousin isn't allowed to come back to you when he misses you?"

Ji Shuli teased Ye Zhiwei without directly answering her question.
