Chapter 18 When the Playboy Turns Over a New Leaf

They seemed to just realize that perhaps the seemingly foolish person wasn't actually foolish, and that pretending to be weak to deceive others wasn't a big deal in this circle.

When Ji's father rushed to the scene after hearing that his eldest son had an accident, he found that the banquet was not dull at all.

On the contrary, his youngest son, whom he had always thought was disobedient and only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, surprised him.

He suddenly realized that what Yan Zhi had said about Huai Zhi was not as naive and cynical as he thought. On the contrary, he was quite knowledgeable and had a great talent for business and the internet.

He simply didn't want to compete with his older brother, so he preferred to start his own business from scratch.

Ji Huaizhi was unaware that he had caused his elder brother and father to misunderstand him, nor did he know why he could make such casual remarks.

It's as if it's always been done this way.

"Huaizhi has grown up." Ji's father sighed.

Mother Ji gently squeezed Father Ji's arm: "Look at your daughter-in-law. I thought she was timid and introverted, and not good at socializing."

"I'm thinking I should teach him properly in the future, since I'll inevitably have to deal with these kinds of situations in the future."

Mrs. Ji looked satisfied: "I didn't expect you to be such a good daughter-in-law."

Liao Zhuxin was socializing with the other wives at the time, and at first everyone thought she was a bit foolish because of her young age.

But we found that she remained calm and composed, showing no stage fright whatsoever.

With the Ji family behind her, even if they knew her family wasn't respectable, they wouldn't look down on her.

After all, offending her is equivalent to offending Ji Huaizhi.

Lu Family~

Mr. Lu's lips twitched with anger at the sight of his daughter, while his stepmother, Mrs. Lu, behind him, smiled slightly before her expression returned to one of worry.

"What's going on?"

The younger brother turned and went upstairs with a look of disgust: "Isn't it obvious? She tried to seduce President Ji, but after being discovered, she was just sent back like this."

"Fool." This older sister is both stupid and vicious.

That's so embarrassing.

“Lu Heng, look at this…” Madam Lu also thought she was foolish to do something she wasn’t sure of.

It's not just her who's lost face.

It's a disgrace to the entire Lu family.

"Idiot!" Lu Heng slapped her across the face. "How dare you!"

"You have completely disgraced the Lu family!"

Lu Wenwen covered her face: "I was about to succeed, but Ji Huaizhi ruined everything!"

"He's President Ji's younger brother. Whose side do you think he's on? Even if you really have your eye on Ji Yanzhi, why don't you find a more respectable way to do it?"

"You did try, but you didn't succeed!"

"And you got caught red-handed. Look at what you did, how much trouble it has caused our Lu family!"

Lu Heng was so angry that his head ached. He said to the alluring woman, "Prepare some things. We'll go to the Ji family to apologize tomorrow."

Lu Wenwen could only cry; she was still wrapped in a bath towel.

She felt utterly humiliated: "Dad, help me! You can't just abandon me!"

"If you hadn't ignored me, I wouldn't have taken such a risk. I had nothing, so I wanted to find a better way out for myself, sob sob sob, Dad."

Mrs. Lu crossed her arms and said, "Wenwen, you're wrong about that."

"In the end, it's all your own fault. How much trouble have you caused your father? Even if the company didn't give you shares, would the Lu family skimp on your food and drink?"

"Besides..." Madam Lu glanced at Lu Heng's expression and continued, "You are your father's first child, how could he not care for you?"

"But what you did and said was so disheartening."

Lu Wenwen was annoyed that she was adding fuel to the fire: "Shut up!"

"It's all your fault! You always act like a good person in front of my dad, but you always bully me behind his back!"

"Enough! You still don't know you're wrong. When will you ever improve?" Lu Heng was well aware of these things.

But who in this circle doesn't have their share of troubles?

If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not being capable enough.

“Now that we’ve offended the Ji family, it’s impossible for them to forgive us just because we offer a small token of our appreciation.” Madam Lu continued to sow discord: “Ji Yanzhi is a prodigy, and his younger brother is no pushover either.”

“The Ji family will not let this matter of Wenwen drugging him go easily.”

Lu Heng was also worried about this: "I'm thinking about it too."

Lu Wenwen had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, I saw the malice in my stepmother's eyes, and then I heard her continue, "Why don't we send Wenwen outside to lay low for a while? This is also to show the Ji family."

"It's also a way of protecting her, don't you think?"

Lu Wenwen shook her head: "No, Dad, we can make Ji Yanzhi take responsibility for me!"

"Don't send me away! Dad, Ji Yanzhi has seen my body and he can take responsibility for me, please."

"This woman just wants me to leave here and never come back."

Madam Lu sat down and crossed her legs: "You're wrong about that. I already said I was protecting you, and you're so ungrateful?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Lu Wenwen trembled all over: "You've wanted to send me away for a long time! You're so heartless."

"Alright, do as your aunt says, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the Ji family." Lu Heng also felt it was time to teach her a lesson.

"Come back when things calm down."

"You are not allowed to step out of the room during this time."

Lu Wenwen cried, her face streaked with tears, utterly heartbroken: "Daddy..."

"Why aren't you going back yet? Look at yourself, what kind of state do you look in?" Lu Heng said with disdain.

The servants pulled the young lady back to her room.

Lu Wenwen gripped the bath towel and said fiercely, "You all just wait!"

~

Ji Huaizhi plans to settle things at the company and then spend some time with Zhu Xin, as she has recently become pregnant and needs someone to be with her.

As their wedding date draws closer, they'll only get busier.

While working in the car, I felt the vehicle shake slightly. The driver in front cautiously said:

"Mr. Ji, the car in front collided with our car, and I couldn't avoid it."

Ji Huaizhi glanced up and then looked down again: "Call me a car. You stay here and handle this."

Drivers have experience with this kind of thing.

Just then, the car window rattled, and the driver rolled down the window. He heard someone approaching from the other side say:

"We apologize, we lost control of our car just now, which led to this situation. Our lady said we will take full responsibility. Here is our contact information."

Assistant Fang didn't know why the young lady wanted him to crash into her directly.

That just now really scared him.

The driver took the business card and handed it to Ji Huaizhi: "Mr. Ji, it's from the Liao family."

Ji Huaizhi's eyes darkened, and he finally looked up and got out of the car to check.

The headlights on the front of the two vehicles were damaged, and the two vehicles collided head-on.

At this moment, Liao Jinhe also got out of the car. The first thing that caught the eye was her black high heels with red soles, a black pencil skirt, and a blue French-style shirt.

Her long legs were exposed to the air, while her waistline was faintly visible.

Her face was adorned with delicate, light makeup, and her loose, slightly wavy hair was casually draped over her chest. She exuded a sharp and capable visual impact.
