As soon as the words fell, the restaurant fell silent, as if everyone was waiting for Ji Qianya to nod in agreement.
Ji Qianya's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and she clenched her hands under the table. She was a little puzzled why Ye Lan, who loved her the most, didn't speak up to protect her the first time he heard this.
She bit her lip, raised her head slightly, and her pitiful eyes seemed to look at Ye Lan opposite her inadvertently.
As a result, the other party seemed to be in a daze and didn't notice the look she was looking at at all.
Ji Qianya glanced in Ji Heng's direction from the corner of her eye and saw that he didn't seem to be concerned either. She really started to panic. She couldn't understand why everyone started to change when she came back from outside.
You have to know that her room is the largest and best in the entire Ji family. How could she give it up to that bitch Li Shu?
Seeing that Ji Qianya was still silent, Li Shu tilted her head. Her black and white eyes looked quite pure. She continued, "I think Sister Qianya doesn't seem very willing. But it doesn't matter. Just treat it as something I said casually. Anyway, I'm not picky. As long as I have a place to sleep, it's fine."
Ji Qianya's eyelids twitched, and she pulled up the corners of her mouth to smile awkwardly.
Just as she was about to say no, she heard Ji Heng, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly say, "Qianya, give up your current room to Xiaoshu."
Ji Qianya's face suddenly turned pale. She pinched her fingertips tightly, trying to control the expression on her face.
No matter how much reluctance and unwillingness she felt in her heart, she did not dare to refute Ji Heng's words. She nodded, lowered her eyelashes to cover the emotions in her eyes, and whispered, "I understand, Dad."
Ye Lan came to her senses at this time. If it were before, she would definitely disagree at the first moment, but after self-reflection, she did realize that she was wrong.
Anyway, it was just a matter of a room, not a big deal, so he comforted her: "Qianya, there are so many empty rooms in the house, you can choose one you like. If you want to redecorate it, just ask Butler Ji to do it."
There was a sinister glint in Ji Qianya's eyes. She didn't expect that she would shoot herself in the foot.
I was too careless and fell into the trap of that bitch Li Shu. It seems I underestimated her.
Ji Qianya raised her head, as if she had suffered a great injustice, her innocent eyes sparkling with water, "Mom, you will accompany me to choose a room later, right?"
Ye Lan met her eyes, her heart softening, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her again. Her attention, which had been completely on Li Shu just now, now returned to her, and the guilt she felt towards Li Shu also faded a little. "Of course, Mom will definitely accompany you."
Ji Qianya smiled sweetly, her eyes curved into small crescents, "Yeah!"
…
After dinner, when Ji Qianya chose her new room, the servants who received the notice began to clean up her original room.
Ji Qianya stood at the door, watching the servants coming in and out moving things, feeling extremely depressed.
"Xiao Qianya, what's wrong?" Suddenly a voice as gentle as jade came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Ji Qianya turned her head and looked behind her. After seeing who was coming, her eyes brightened instantly.
She trotted over and threw herself into the man's arms. She looked up at his handsome face and said in surprise, "Second brother, why are you back?"
Ji Yanli smiled slightly and touched the top of her head. "It just so happens that I have some free time these two days, so I came back to visit."
He paused, glanced into the room, and then said, "What's going on with your room? Why are you moving all your things out?"
Ji Qianya released her arms from hugging him, lowered her head, and looked quite lost. She said in a muffled voice, "Nothing, it's just that my sister wanted this room, so I gave it to her."
Ji Yanli was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly realized who the "sister" she was talking about was. He frowned slightly and said, "There are so many rooms in the house, what do you need yours for?"
Originally, he came back this time to visit his newly adopted sister, but now he has no good feelings towards her before he even meets her.
Ji Qianya twisted her hands, bit her lower lip lightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and said sympathetically: "It's okay, second brother, just give it to her if my sister likes it. I can live in any room."
Ji Yanli put his hands in his pockets, "Where is Li Shuren?"
Ji Qianya's eyes moved slightly, and she raised her head and tucked the scattered hair on her face behind her ears. "She should be in the room. If you want to go find her, I'll take you there."
Ji Yanli nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face, "Okay, then I'll trouble our little Qianya."
Soon the two arrived at the attic door.
"Why are you living in the attic?" A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Yanli's eyes.
Ji Qianya's expression was a little unnatural. After thinking for a while, she said vaguely, "My sister likes it."
Then he changed the subject and said, "Second brother, I'll go knock on the door."
Ji Yanli nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Ji Qianya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. In fact, sometimes she was quite afraid of her second brother Ji Yanli. Although he looked gentle and harmless on the surface and always had a smile on his face, he was actually more terrifying than anyone else.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, saying softly, "Sister, second brother is back."
In a few seconds, the door was opened.
Li Shu's gaze fell directly on the young man standing behind Ji Qianya, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
The man's dark and deep eyes were shining with charming luster, his nose was high, his lips were rosy, his facial lines were clean and neat, and there was a little mole under his slightly upturned eyes, which was so handsome that it was eye-catching.
"Have we met somewhere before?" The original body seemed to have vaguely remembered this person.
"Pfft." Ji Yanli laughed out loud, and suddenly felt that Li Shu was quite interesting, and even more beautiful than he had imagined. Compared with Qianya, Li Shu looked more like a family member to them. This was probably the power of genes.
"Perhaps I have."
Ji Qianya's face changed slightly. She realized that Ji Yanli's attitude towards Li Shu was not what she imagined. She quickly said, "Sister, don't you know that my second brother is an award-winning actor? You must have seen him on TV."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. If he was the best actor, that would explain why she felt like she had seen him somewhere.
But he ignored her and looked at Ji Yanli with a cold look in his eyes, and asked, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Ji Yanli glanced at the room behind the girl and asked, "Why are you living in the attic?"
Li Shu folded her arms, leaning against the door frame, and glanced at Ji Qianya with a half-smile, and said lazily: "Isn't it that I want a room with a south-facing balcony? Don't you only have the attic for me?"
Ji Yanli narrowed his eyes, lowered his head slightly to look at Ji Qianya who was standing in front of him, and said slowly: "Little Qianya, you lied to your second brother."
Ji Qianya's body stiffened, and she felt a chill running down her spine. She had never expected Ji Yanli to ask Li Shu again. She gritted her teeth and said, "Second brother, I...I didn't lie."
