Chapter 9 The Father of the Real and Fake Heiresses

When Ji Lin returned, he ran into Assistant Chen, who was about to leave.

When Ji Lin saw Assistant Chen, he naturally assumed that she was there to see him.

"I'm not here today. Did you need something?" Ji Lin asked as he stepped forward.

Assistant Chen's aloof expression exuded an aura that kept people at arm's length: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, you may have misunderstood. I was invited by President Ji to introduce you to Miss Nan Zhi."

Ji Lin's face darkened: "What do you need to know Nan Zhi for?"

"Aren't you my assistant?"

Chen Xi looked up, his eyes like unfathomable pools: "Who said that? Did President Ji say that?"

"What kind of attitude is this?" Ji Lin had always thought Chen Xi had a bad temper, but her abilities were not to be underestimated: "My dad originally intended for you to be my assistant."

"Mr. Ji never said that, so I said you misunderstood, Mr. Ji."

After saying that, Chen Xi turned and left.

Chen Xi's attitude infuriated Ji Lin: "Do you believe I can make sure you can't stay in the Ji family anymore! So what if you're my dad's favorite?"

"I think you may have misunderstood again. The only person who can decide whether I stay or leave is President Ji."

Chen Xi turned around, left those words, and then departed.

Assistant Zhou found this scene truly fascinating.

Chen Xi's temper only subsides in front of President Ji, and occasionally President Ji will be rebuffed by her.

"Assistant Zhou, what's going on?"

Ji Lin felt something was wrong. Why did Chen Xi want to get to know Ji Nanzhi?

Could it be...?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. I am my father's only son.

"Young Master, you are overthinking it. Miss Nanzhi has just returned and there is still much for her to learn. Assistant Chen was personally instructed by President Ji."

Ji Lin did not speak.

When I got home, I saw Ji Nanzhi still in the living room, seemingly lost in thought.

When Ji Nanzhi heard Ji Lin speak, she was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to call for help, she suddenly remembered what her father had said: she didn't need to please anyone.

He never liked himself.

Why bother trying to win someone's heart?

Just as she was about to go upstairs, Ji Lin suddenly grabbed her arm, then quickly let go.

His expression was as if he had encountered something dirty.

"Don't you have any manners? Can't you greet people? And did I tell you to leave?" Ji Lin looked down at her.

His eyes held disdain and disgust.

She seemed to be wondering how she could have such a sister.

"Don't think that just because Dad likes you, you can do whatever you want at home." Ji Lin pointed his finger at her nose: "Let me tell you, you're not even worth a finger of Tian Tian's."

"Be sensible and recognize your own place."

Even Ji Nanzhi, with her good temper, was annoyed.

"What is my identity?" Ji Nanzhi's voice was still somewhat immature.

"Why should I compare myself to Li Tian's fingers? I don't even care about her now. My dad likes me, so I can do whatever I want at home."

Who do you think you are?

After saying that, he quickly left before he could react.

I run upstairs.

Once she could no longer see anyone, she clutched her chest and gasped for breath: "That scared me to death."

"Ji Nanzhi, don't be a coward!"

Ji Lin kicked the cabinet next to him in anger. Sure enough, this person was no good!

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Ji Lin looked at the servants and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to listen to that Ji Nanzhi. Just ignore her! If I see any of you saying a single word to her, you'll be in big trouble!"

Ji Nanzhi didn't actually find anything wrong with the servants' indifference.

I even felt a sense of relief.

When Chen Xi came for the second time, his expression changed when he saw the way the Ji family's servants acted.

First, let me ask Ji Nanzhi how she is doing at school.

"It's alright, but I'm not used to this international school. With the college entrance exam coming up soon, I feel like the teachers and classmates don't value academics that much."

Chen Xi: "Why did you study so hard before?"

"To change my destiny," Ji Nanzhi blurted out.

"Do you think you still need to change your fate?" Chen Xi's question stumped her.

No, it's definitely not necessary.

She's already lucky enough; she doesn't even dare to look at the string of zeros on the back of a garment without a brand label.

The last time Ji Huaizhi took her out to eat, that meal cost the equivalent of several years' worth of expenses for an ordinary family.

“But I enjoy learning. I don’t need to change my fate, but I can learn more now.” She just feels that going to school is a waste of time.

Chen Xi understood what she meant: "You can tell Mr. Ji that it's a good thing you want to learn more, and he can hire a private tutor for you."

Ji Nanzhi asked, "Are you going to teach me social etiquette today?"

"That was the original plan, but I think I should teach you something else first."

Chen Xi's words left Ji Nanzhi completely confused.

"What's going on with these servants?"

Ji Nanzhi blinked and recounted her argument with Ji Lin: "It must have been Ji Lin who instructed them."

"Do you think it's reasonable for a master to be neglected by his servants?"

Ji Nanzhi: "I wasn't used to them calling themselves 'Miss' before, but this is good."

“This behavior challenges your authority. You can tell them not to bother you, but they can’t disobey you,” Chen Xi said, looking at her with clear eyes.

It would be embarrassing for Ji Nanzhi to see this.

Chen Xi: "Do you know why President Ji chose me to be your personal assistant?"
