She is the adopted daughter of the powerful Ji family at the pinnacle of influence, rumored to be frail and weak.
He is the divine son of the Ji family that created this peak, rumored to be a...
"Aunt Lan wants me to infiltrate the Ji family. Getting together with Ji Yan is the fastest shortcut, so I need you to help me put on a show."
What Xingchu didn't say was that although it was Aunt Lan's idea, she also had her own selfish motives.
From the moment she first met Ji Yan, she knew what kind of exceptional man he was.
His outstanding looks, abilities, and family background are all top-notch, and his aloof and unapproachable aura only fuels one's desire to conquer him.
After a year of getting to know Ji Yan, she had a pretty good grasp of his personality, which is why she started a three-year-long plan.
Make him remember, feel guilty, and miss her, living three years of unforgettable memories, and then unexpectedly reappear in front of him when he is almost about to give up.
The huge contrast would give him the ecstatic joy of regaining what he had lost, and only then would he listen to his own words.
Unfortunately, Ji Fuying ruined the perfect plan.
Country C.
"Fu Xu, go to Country Z and kill a woman named Ji Fuying. She's currently living in the Ji family's old house." Fu Xiao lit a cigarette and calmly instructed the person beside him.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Fu Xu was naturally aloof and rarely spoke. Upon receiving the order, he boarded a plane alone and headed to Country Z.
Ji Fuying, living in the old Ji family mansion, had no idea that her trip back to Z country would lead to her death.
Coincidentally, she had arranged to meet Li Xiaole and Li Muning tonight, while Xu Nuo had been lured to Country A by her three years ago.
She is now the acting president of her company, and this time she plans to bring the two of them to her company as well.
I just don't know if they'd be willing, since their parents are still here.
It's still the Ji's Hotel.
Looking at the table full of delicacies, Li Xiaole had no appetite at all, but looked at Ji Fuying with a mournful expression.
"It's been three years. Do you know how much we've missed you?"
Ji Fuying quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears, "Why are you crying? Don't we keep in touch on our phones?"
"How can that be the same? We haven't seen each other for three years."
"I also have something I want to ask you when I come back this time. Would you like to come work for my company?"
Li Muning clenched her fists tightly, wanting to go but unable to.
Something happened in her family, and she doesn't know how long it will take to resolve, so she really doesn't dare to leave.
"Fuying, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I don't really want to go."
Not wanting Ji Fuying to worry, she didn't tell her that something had happened at home, only that she didn't want to go.
Li Xiaole is in the same boat. Her mother was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer, which is exactly the time when she needs someone to take care of her the most.
So she couldn't leave either.
"Yingying, I'm so sorry, my mom isn't feeling well, so she can't go either."
"What's wrong with Auntie? Why don't you take my second brother to see her?" Ji Fuying was also a little worried when she heard that Li Xiaole's mother was unwell.
"No need, I've seen the doctor, and he said I just need to rest at home. Let's eat first, I'm starving."
As I bent down to eat, a tear fell into my bowl. Actually, the doctor said there was no longer any need for treatment.
So she listened to her mother's advice and didn't want her to suffer from chemotherapy anymore, but her heart was really aching.
Watching her loved ones leave was so heartbreaking; the feeling of helplessness almost overwhelmed her.
It was only today, when she met Yingying, that she finally smiled; normally, she would never smile at all.
"You two remember this well: if you need help, be sure to come to me. Don't try to tough it out on your own, understand?"
Both of them nodded obediently in agreement, and said they would definitely come to her if they needed anything.
They ate the meal for an unusually long time when suddenly Li Xiaole's phone rang.
She picked up the phone and saw it was her mother calling. Not wanting Ji Fuying to suspect anything, she answered the call from a different location.
"Hello, Mom, what's wrong?"
"Mom is fine, she's just a little worried because you haven't come home yet at this late hour."
"I'm having dinner with my friend, I'll be back in a bit, don't worry."
"Xiao Le, don't rush back. Spend some time talking with your friend. You've had a hard time these past few days."
“We’re talking about this between mother and daughter. I’ll be back in a bit. You go to sleep first, don’t wait for me.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaole was about to walk back to find them when she bumped into someone at the corner.
"Hey, did you go out without your glasses?" A loud shout rang out from below.
Li Xiaole didn't expect that the collision would send the person flying, so he quickly squatted down to try to pull her up.
"How could it be you?" She never expected that the person she bumped into would be Ji Yingying.
"Li Xiaole, you hit me and left me like this, I will not let you off easily today."
"I didn't mean to, and you bumped into me, but I just didn't fall."
"Nothing you say will change anything. You're not leaving here until you give me an explanation."
Ji Fuying waited for a long time but Li Xiaole did not return. Her intuition told her that something must have happened.
She and Li Muning searched in the direction she had left, and when they found Li Xiaole, they overheard Ji Yingying's warning to her.
"I'll show you today whether we can leave or not, Xiao Le, let's go."
Ji Fuying glanced indifferently at Ji Yingying on the ground, then pulled Li Xiaole and Li Muning to leave.
When Ji Yingying saw that they were really walking towards the door, she was too lazy to pretend anymore, so she quickly got up from the ground and chased after them.
She stopped the three of them at the hotel entrance, saying, "It's true that Li Xiaole hit me. If you dare to leave, believe me, I'll call the police, and you'll all go to jail."
Upon hearing the news of going to jail, Li Xiaole panicked. No, she had to take care of her mother; she couldn't go to jail.
I don't know how much longer my mother has left. If I don't get to see her one last time because of this, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
"Do you want me to do this and lose money?"
Ji Yingying covered her mouth, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, and said to the two friends who had just arrived, "Did you hear that? Trying to out-rich me."
"So what exactly do you want?"
"Kneel down and kowtow to me, and I'll let you go, okay?"
"Ji Yingying, you've improved." Ji Fuying tilted her head slightly, her words not expressing admiration, but clearly mockery.
When Ji Yingying met Ji Fuying's gaze, she was still a little timid. But then she thought that Ji Fuying had been forced to leave for three years, so she must have offended some important person.
She herself has to keep a low profile, so why should she stand up for Li Xiaole?
"In short, she's not leaving today unless she does what I say."
Just as Ji Fuying was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed. She noticed a faint red dot on her chest.
Sniper rifle?
Who wants to kill her?
