Seeing Ji Pengfei's grim expression, Ji Zhinan deliberately tilted his head and asked innocently, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Ji Pengfei didn't want to look at Ji Zhinan, so he waved his hand at her and said, "Nothing, go ahead and do your work."

"Okay." Ji Zhinan put away his smile and left.

After turning around, her face looked extremely ugly.

…………

Ji Pengfei kept thinking about Ji Zhinan's strange look, which made him upset and confused, and he couldn't work properly the whole day.

I returned home early after get off work. When I got home, I saw Ji Zhixia and Mrs. Ji happily preparing food. Judging from the expressions of the mother and daughter, they seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing Ji Pengfei coming back, Mrs. Ji quickly put down the plate in her hand and went over: "Pengfei, why are you back so early? I was just about to ask Xia Xia to call you!"

Ji Pengfei took off his suit jacket and threw it on the sofa next to him. He glanced at the food on the table and asked, "Hot pot today?"

"Yes." Madam Ji smiled and said, "The old man is not at home today, so it's just the three of us. Shouldn't we celebrate properly?"

Their family has not had a peaceful day since Ji Zhinan came. The old man is still biased and only thinks about Ji Zhinan.

Now that the old man is not at home and Ji Zhinan has also left, today is not a good day.

Ji Pengfei nodded, washed his hands, and sat at his seat to eat.

Madam Ji shabu-shabued the meat and placed it on Ji Pengfei's plate, saying, "Yan'e told me today about Xia Xia and Ze Yu's marriage. They hope the two children will get engaged as soon as possible, preferably this month. What do you think?"

Ji Zhixia has liked Mu Zeyu for so many years, and now it is finally coming to fruition. Ji Zhixia is in such a rare good mood and looks at her father with hope.

Ji Pengfei was silent and pondering. Seeing this, Ji Zhixia became anxious and quickly winked at her mother. Mrs. Ji caught her daughter's gaze and asked, "Pengfei, what's wrong?"

"The Mu family is far worse than before." Ji Pengfei finally expressed his thoughts: "Some time ago, the daughter of the Mu family offended a big shot at school. The Mu family was suppressed for a long time and could not breathe. It was only when Mu Daxiang offered two pieces of good land that they were appeased."

Ji Pengfei originally thought that the Mu family would be on the road to glory, but in just two months, they had experienced repeated suppression. Coupled with the previous incident, Ji Pengfei had a grudge against Mu Daxiang...

From what he said, it seemed that he didn't want Ji Zhixia to marry him. Ji Zhixia was extremely anxious.

She just likes Mu Zeyu, she wants to become Mrs. Mu!

Ji Zhixia kept kicking Madam Ji under the table, hoping that Madam Ji would help him speak well of him.

Madam Ji coughed and said, "Pengfei, I don't think this is a big deal. It's just Mu Minmin. Will she ruin the company if she continues? I think this is just right. Mu Daxiang and his wife know that Mu Minmin is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. They will not give the company and property to Mu Minmin in the future. At most, the girl from the Mu family will be married off for an alliance, and she won't get anything from the Mu family. All of it will belong to Xia Xia and Ze Yu."

"No matter what, the Mu family has a solid foundation. It can't be that bad. We should take advantage of this opportunity to get engaged and let them feel that our Xia Xia is the one who helped them get out of the trough. Don't let Mu Zeyu meet someone better. Then the Mu family fortune won't be Xia Xia's!"
