At first, Xing Minggao was a little hesitant to speak, but Gu Yibei didn't put on airs. Instead, he was humble and low-key as a junior. Soon, Xing Minggao also opened up and spoke freely with Gu Yibei.

Because Gu Yibei couldn't drink alcohol while driving, the father and son only had some tea, but Xing Minggao was still happy.

While talking to Xing Minggao about work, Gu Yibei was peeling shrimp while wearing disposable gloves.

He didn't eat it, but naturally placed the shrimp meat on Ji Zhinan's plate.

Xing Fei, sitting opposite, couldn't be more envious.

"Young Master Gu, you absolutely must not let Nan Nan's adoptive father's family, or the Cao family, go!"

Realizing belatedly that Gu Yibei was a big, thick-skinned guy, Xing Fei quickly came over to hug him.

Gu Yibei turned his gaze to her, signaling her to continue.

When yesterday's events were brought up, Xing Fei angrily raised her fist.

"Young Master Gu, you have no idea how disgusting those people are! Why do they look down on my Nan Nan? If you ask me, it's better that Nan Nan isn't the daughter of the Ji family. That family is all hypocritical and disgusting, and they don't deserve to be Nan Nan's family!"

"And there are so many people watching this stunt, it's infuriating!"

Xing Minggao quickly called out to his daughter, who was about to continue complaining, "Xiao Fei!"

Why say these things in front of Mr. Gu?

Xing Fei pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Gu Yibei listened to her words patiently, then nodded: "Don't worry, none of them will escape."

Hearing these words brimming with boyfriend-like protectiveness, Xing Fei got excited again: "That's right! None of you are getting away!"

………

At first, Xing Fei didn't think much of Gu Yibei's words. It wasn't until a few days later, when the business world in Beijing was in turmoil, that she realized the companies led by Cao Muji and his family were the hardest hit, and dozens of other businesses were also affected.

Xing Fei was stunned when she heard the news from her father.

Leaving aside those three companies, dozens of other businesses involved had attended Ji Zhixia's engagement ceremony that day...

Don't ask Xing Fei how she knew, because at the time she heard someone mocking Ji Zhinan as a fake heiress and a real prostitute, and then... those people's companies got into trouble.

Some went bankrupt due to poor management and a broken cash flow; others were found guilty of tax evasion and were on the verge of collapse; some lower-level employees even caused a scene at the head office, complaining that the company was harsh and stingy, which is truly lamentable...

Anyway, all sorts of things went wrong.

Mu Zeyu signed a major cooperation agreement a couple of days ago, thinking he could make a fortune. However, it turned out that the other party was just a shell company. All the talk about how great it was was just a gimmick. After receiving the money, the other party ran away with it. The company was fake, and the signature was fake too. Mu's Group was cheated out of a full 50 million yuan, causing the company a huge loss.

Several companies that collaborated with the Cao family were also found to have issues such as "poor quality" and "using inferior products," which implicated the Cao family as well.

Right now, everyone in business circles is saying that the Ji family is a jinx; anyone who comes into contact with them ends up badly—the Cao family, the Mu family, and many, many more…

Many people have linked the companies involved in the incidents during this period with the Ji family, discovering that 80% of them had attended Ji Zhixia's engagement ceremony.

This further confirmed that the Ji family was a plague.

Xing Fei was stunned after hearing this, and the first thing she did was call Ji Zhinan.

"Nan Nan, could it be that Young Master Gu did all of this?"

Ji Zhinan also knew about what had happened recently, and when she heard Xing Fei's words, she raised an eyebrow: "Why do you say that?"

"Because most of the people who get into trouble are those who mocked you."

"..."

Just as Ji Zhinan hung up the phone, Gu Yibei arrived, and Ji Zhinan stood up.
