"Director Ji, I trouble you, please don't judge me by my own standards," Ji Wanmei said seriously.

Ji Xingguo laughed angrily: "Me, petty-minded? I think you're just trying to annoy me, aren't you?"

“This is an agreement between Lei Tingjun and me. If he breaks it now, he can’t blame me for not giving him a chance. I’m asking you, did he come to see you secretly? You’ve been acting strangely ever since you came back that day. Don’t think I can’t tell. I’m your father. You can’t hide anything from me.”

Ji Wanmei put down her pen and said expressionlessly, "No! He has never secretly come to see me! Even if we bump into each other on the street, he has to obey your threat and treat me like a stranger, pretending not to know me! Even if I write to him, he won't reply! Are you satisfied now?"

As she spoke, not even her eyebrows twitched, but her voice and tone carried a calm and patient reproach, and her eyes seemed to conceal a deep sadness.

Ji Xingguo was taken aback and stared at his daughter for a long time without saying a word.

"If you don't believe me, you can just ask around yourself! So many relatives and neighbors came to Qiang's house that day, you can just ask anyone and see if Lei Tingjun went or not."

When Ji Xingguo heard her accuse him like that, he knew she wasn't lying.

If Lei Tingjun really did secretly go to see her that day, she would definitely feel guilty if asked now.

My daughter has been like this since she was little. She can't lie. Even if she says something false, her bright, watery eyes will betray her true emotions.

Ji Wanmei crossed her arms and glared at Ji Xingguo: "Just because of you, his best friend couldn't even come back for a housewarming party, he had to avoid suspicion. He did what he said he would do, and you're still here doubting and questioning him. Director Ji, where's your sense of perspective?"

Ji Xingguo coughed awkwardly, then said matter-of-factly, "That was because he promised me beforehand, and acting according to the agreement is what he should do. If he were two-faced, I would look down on him."

Ji Wanmei snorted, not wanting to argue with her father. She walked over, closed the bedroom door in front of Ji Xingguo, and said, "I'm not eating dinner tonight. You can eat by yourself. I'm full of anger."
