"I didn't buy it..."

"I wanted to buy it, but I hesitated for a moment and ended up not being able to."

The two of them really liked the pure yet alluring scent of the "Alluring Beauty" perfume, so they stocked up on quite a lot of it.

The "Alluring Beauty" dress wasn't cheap, and it took up half of their allowance. Plus, the New Year was coming soon, and they needed to buy new clothes. They weren't that interested in the "Charming Beauty" dress, so they didn't buy it.

Judging from how excited that person was just now, it seems like 'Charm' is pretty good.

Yan Yirou took a sip of coffee and looked at them: "Tian Tian, ​​have you ever thought about starting your own business like Xiao Xuan?"

Su Tiantian was stunned.

Pei Xiaoxuan stared at her in surprise.

After regaining her senses, Su Tiantian waved her hand and said, "I'm not cut out for business, so forget it."

"It's not about getting you to do big business."

Yan Yirou shook her head, held up two fingers to her, and suggested, "You can be like Xiaoxuan, whether you open a coffee shop or a restaurant, as long as you find a capable person in charge, you can be a hands-off boss."

Or you could have your brother approach the Qin family and partner with them to secure a distributorship for [Enchanting Colors] perfume, expanding into the southern or international markets. Otherwise, you're living off the family group's profits, and then you're asked to arrange a marriage in the future—would you agree or not?

Su Tiantian looked completely bewildered: "..."

"I didn't think that far ahead. If the families were to arrange a marriage, it would definitely be my brother who gets married!" she said naively, but the Su family did indeed dote on her.

Yan Yirou didn't try to persuade her any further.

She offered this reminder out of consideration for their genuine kindness: whether or not they could seize this opportunity to ride on the Qin family's giant ship was up to them.

However, Yan Yirou frowned. Wasn't the "Charm" perfume developed by the Yu Group? Could she have remembered wrong?

At this moment, Pei Xiaoxuan asked with concern, "Rou Rou, is your family pressuring you again?"

Su Tiantian also looked worried.

Yan Yirou said calmly, "You don't need to worry about me, I can handle it."

Yan Yirou has no intention of getting involved with the villainous boss or their circle, lest she be reborn as cannon fodder.

As for the Yan family, if they treat her well, she will repay them; if they don't, she won't care whether they live or die.

Therefore, Yan Yirou would never agree to a marriage alliance with the Ji family!

Although her attitude was firm, the Ji family was very satisfied with her.

Upon learning that his fiancée and brother-in-law had arrived in the capital, Ji Xianli abandoned his friends and rushed to the mansion that the Ji family had purchased in the capital.

He met his uncle, Ji Mingjing, in the study.

"Uncle, Yan Yirou is not bad. Apart from the fact that she has liked Gu Sishao since childhood, which is annoying, her character and personality are quite good. I think she can be considered as a marriage partner."

Ji Xianli thought that as long as Xianreng got married, he would give up his feelings for Rongrong, and he wouldn't have to worry about brothers fighting each other.

There are many people in Xizhou City who are envious of the Ji family, so internal strife must not be allowed to occur again.

Ji Mingjing's face remained expressionless as he spoke indifferently, "Is that so?"

Ji Xianli nodded affirmatively: "I think Miss Yan is very suitable."

Outside the study, Rongrong listened to her fiancé praising other girls. She bit her lower lip, and when she heard his last sentence, her eyes widened in disbelief, and her face turned deathly pale.

Is Brother Xianli going to marry someone else?

He thought Miss Yan was a perfect match, but what about her?

Is she going to leave the Ji family soon?

Thinking of this, Rongrong's eyes gradually filled with tears, and she involuntarily stepped back, as if as long as she was away from the study, she could pretend that she hadn't heard anything.

Bang!

Rongrong bumped into someone and quickly turned around. When she saw it was Ji Kong, she lowered her head and apologized, "Ji Kong, I'm sorry."

Ji Kong shook his head to indicate that he was alright, and asked, "Miss Rong, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

After Rongrong finished speaking, she ran downstairs.

She ran all the way outside the villa, clutching her chest tightly with one hand, panting heavily.

She turned around and looked up at the villa, which resembled a castle.

This used to be her home.

But that won't be the case anymore.

She became an orphan again, with nowhere to go and no one to care for her.

Rongrong wanted to cry. As she walked toward the garage, she took out her phone and called Shangguan Wu, her only friend in the capital.

Not long after, Ji Kong stood on the balcony watching her get into the car and leave, before taking out his phone and sending a message to the head of the family.

Upon seeing the message, a glint of unfathomable brilliance flashed in Ji Mingjing's narrow, peach-blossom eyes.

After a moment, he said calmly, "As long as Xianren agrees, that's fine."

Ji Xianli's eyes flickered, and he earnestly pleaded, "Uncle, I would like to ask you to talk to Xianreng about this matter. He always listens to you, and he will only agree to a marriage alliance if you propose it."

However, Ji Mingjing looked at him with deep eyes and said, "This is a matter between you two brothers, I will not interfere."

Ji Xianli wanted to try again: "Uncle..."

But Ji Mingjing said two words expressionlessly: "Get out!"

Ji Xianli dared not anger his uncle, so he had no choice but to leave the study.

But he searched the entire villa and still couldn't find Rongrong.

She was still at home when he arrived.

Ji Xianli frowned and dialed Rongrong's number, but it was always busy. If he didn't know Rongrong's personality, he would have suspected that she had blocked him!

When Ji Xianli saw Ji Kong come out, he asked urgently, "Ji Kong, do you know where Rongrong is?"

Ji Kong replied, "Miss Rong has gone out, but I don't know where she went."

Ji Xianli's expression froze for a moment.

Rongrong knew he was coming, yet she still went out? Did she not want to see him?

He thought Rongrong liked him, but it turns out she didn't.

Ji Xianli gradually frowned.

He just felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Just then, his second brother, Ji Xianreng, called and asked to meet him at the Zijing Pavilion, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

Ji Xianli happened to have something to discuss with him, so he agreed and drove to the Zijing Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Wu comforted the crying Rongrong over the phone.

"Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong, there'll always be a solution, right?"

Shangguan Wu was completely bewildered as he listened to Rongrong's crying.

She didn't know what had happened to Rongrong, but hearing her cry so sadly, it must have been something serious.

If she doesn't say anything, there's nothing she can do to help!

Suddenly, Gu Xiaobao ran towards her.

Meanwhile, Rongrong sobbed into the phone, "Wu Bao, waaaaah... I have no home anymore, waaaah..."

Shangguan Wu asked in utter astonishment, "No home?"

That can't be right. Doesn't Ji Mingjing care about her a lot? How could he possibly kick her out? Has she misunderstood something?

"Rongrong, can you tell me in detail what happened?"

Rongrong opened her mouth, then suddenly glanced at the driver in front of her. She bit her lip and asked in a choked voice, "Wu Bao, can I tell you this in person?"
