Only then did she raise her eyes to look at Ji Li. Her first impression was that he was cold to the bone and difficult to get along with.

His dark eyes held only indifference; this older brother was a cold-faced male god.

He was dressed in a black suit, and his whole demeanor was proper and serious.

She was the most aloof person she had ever met.

Ji Li let her get into the car first, then closed his umbrella, though he got a little wet from the rain.

"Go back where?" Ji Li looked at his soft-spoken younger sister, feeling a pang of heartache. If it weren't for that mistress, she wouldn't have been born prematurely, wouldn't have been sent to her maternal grandmother's house, and wouldn't be so estranged from him.

Shang Xian turned her head to look at him: "Let's go home."

The driver was a little embarrassed. Where was he going? And which home was he going to?

Shang Xian noticed the driver's confusion and asked Ji Li, "Is your house considered my house?"

In fact, Ji Li was happy after Shang Xian said that.

Shang Xian looked at the scenery outside, the rain hitting the car window, and for a moment she didn't know how to say those words to Ji Li.

"Is there something you need to tell me?" Ji Li asked.

Shang Xian replied with a muffled "Mm".

Ji Li understood; she wanted to go back and talk about it, but she didn't seem to be in a good mood, so something must have happened.

"About Ning Beiyao?" Ji Li felt a tickle in her heart, wanting to say a few more words to her...

"No, but he's involved."

"I've heard about his affair with Chu Yuejiao. Let's wait a bit longer and then divorce him," Ji Li said cryptically, afraid that Ji Yi would find out her purpose in marrying Ning Beiyao.

"There has to be a legitimate reason for divorce. His mother was already extremely kind to let me marry Ning Beiyao, and we can't let them think it was just for her own purposes." Shang Xian also intentionally or unintentionally stopped there.

Ji Li looked at her, also surprised. Could it be that she knew something?

"I've investigated some things, and I know everything," she said, seeing no need to hide anything.

"Boss, we've arrived," the driver said to Ji Li after parking the car.

Ji Li helped Shang Xian out of the car and found that she got tired after walking a few steps. He knew she was in poor health, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad.

"Have you always lived like this?" Ji Li wrapped his arms around her slender waist, as if he could really snap it in two.

"It was a little better a few years ago; I could still finish the tonic. But in the last two years, I vomit as soon as I take it, and my condition has worsened."

Ji Li pursed her lips and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

He half-squatted down and picked Shang Xian up by the waist, carrying her into the house. Shang Xian's tears came suddenly, startling Ji Li.

"Brother, someone tried to kill me again today." This is the second time Ning Beiyao has said this.

Ji Li's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected that Ji Shifei was still after A Yi!

If he takes one step forward, his mother will die; if he takes one step back, his sister could die at any moment. He really has no other choice; he gets tired too.

He placed Shang Xian beside him, then leaned wearily against the sofa: "Ayi, brother really can't do anything more..."

"Brother, I have something to tell you, and I hope you can be calmer than me," Shang Xian said, looking at Ji Li, hoping he could accept the truth.

"Could things get any worse?"

Shang Xian sniffed: "Mom is dead..."

Ji Li was stunned for a moment, wondering if she had misheard: "What did you just say?"

Shang Xian's tears streamed down her face: "I've had people investigate, and it's all been a year since my mother was killed by Ji Shifei..."
