It's quite quiet in the car.
Ji Yanli was driving the car. He glanced at the girl in the passenger seat, then looked at Ji Jingchen in the back seat through the rearview mirror. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Brother, are you busy lately?"
Ji Jingchen raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "I'm not busy, what's wrong?"
Ji Yanli stared ahead, his tone soothing and clear, "I'm going to join the crew again in a couple of days, so I won't have time to come back and take Xiaoshu out for a walk, so I'll leave this matter to you. Big brother, should you have any problem with it?"
Ji Jingchen was slightly stunned for a moment, then realized that Yan Li was helping him create an opportunity to be alone with Xiao Shu. He glanced at Li Shu in the passenger seat and saw that the girl didn't say no. He finally felt a little better after being depressed all night and nodded, "Okay, leave it to me."
Li Shu's mouth twitched slightly. In fact, she didn't need to go out for a walk, and she was not a child who needed company.
I originally wanted to refuse, but then I thought of what Ji Yanli said in the box, and I swallowed the words back. After all, I had already promised him.
Ji Yanli glanced at her and said, "Xiaoshu, what do you think?"
Li Shu stretched her legs lazily and changed into a comfortable sitting position. "Well, okay."
Ji Yanli raised the corner of his lip, and suddenly thought of something, and suggested: "Speaking of which, you haven't met your third brother yet. How about I call him back and let him stay home for a few days to accompany you?"
Ji Jingchen also joined the conversation, "Given Ji Si's personality, do you think he can stay at home peacefully?"
Ji Yanli: "That's right, Ji Si has only been home a few times throughout the year."
Li Shu's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, and she remembered that she had a third brother whom she had never met. Thinking of her second brother Ji Yanli's celebrity status, she suddenly became interested in her third brother's outside identity, "What does the third brother do?"
Ji Yanli smiled and said, "He's loved playing games since he was a kid, so he became an e-sports player. You should be able to find his name if you search online. I remember his team just won a championship."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu took out her cell phone from her pocket, clicked on the Weibo she often browsed, and entered the word "Ji Si" in the search box. The next second, a bunch of information related to him popped up on the page.
She clicked on the first post about Ji Si's team winning the championship. The picture above was a group photo of their team. She didn't have to guess to know that the young man in the middle holding the trophy was her third brother.
The reason is simple. The eldest and second brothers are very handsome, so the third brother Ji Si will naturally not be much worse.
In the photo, Ji Si was wearing a black and red team uniform. He was tall, with short silver hair that was unruly and uninhibited. His facial features were sunny and handsome, and there was a bit of rebelliousness between his eyebrows, which was in line with his name, and he was unruly to the extreme.
"How is it, did you find it?" Ji Yanli asked.
Li Shu nodded and commented very objectively: "I found it, it's quite handsome."
Ji Yanli was actually a little jealous when he heard this, as if Li Shu had never taken the initiative to praise his handsomeness. "So who do you think is more handsome, your second brother or your third brother?"
Li Shu tilted her head, looking at the man's profile in the dim light, and said seriously, "Second brother, there's no comparison at all. You two are both handsome in different ways."
Ji Yanli chuckled, "Then tell me what kind of handsome am I?"
Li Shu supported her chin with her slender, cold white hand and said slowly, "Second brother, you are the kind of gentle and elegant handsome guy, while third brother is the kind of ruffian handsome guy. Anyway, they are not of the same type."
"Then it seems that our Xiaoshu prefers your third brother's one?"
Li Shu raised her eyebrows. "How could that be? Of course I like my second brother the most."
After all, he is the one who gets the most gold coins now.
Ji Jingchen sat in the back listening to the two of them talking and laughing, but he couldn't get a word in. He felt like an outsider who didn't fit in. He simply turned his head and looked out the window silently, while thinking in his heart how to get along with Li Shu in the future.
…
Twenty minutes later, the three of them returned to Ji's house.
I just didn't expect that the whole family would gather in the living room, except for Ji Si.
"Jing Chen, why are you back too?" Ye Lan looked at the three siblings who walked in from outside, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "And why are you with Yan Li and the others? Did you just meet them outside?"
"We met by chance at the restaurant, so I just came back with them." Ji Jingchen explained.
When Ji Qianya saw Li Shu standing with Ji Jingchen and Ji Yanli, a flash of jealousy appeared in her eyes. She didn't expect that Ji Yanli would actually take the bitch Li Shu out to dinner alone. Even she herself had never received such special treatment in her life.
She stood up from the sofa, pouted her lips, and said coquettishly, "Second brother, you haven't taken me out to eat yet."
Ji Yanli glanced at her indifferently. Since there were so many people around, it was not easy to offend her directly, so he said perfunctorily: "Next time for sure."
Ji Qianya clenched her fingers, "When is the next time? I see that my second brother has been coming back quite frequently recently."
Ji Yanli tutted lightly, his voice revealing a bit of nonchalance, "Qianya, when did you become so ignorant?"
Ji Qianya was suddenly panicked by his tut sound. She almost forgot that Ji Yanli was the most difficult person to mess with in the entire Ji family. She was so scared that she immediately lowered her eyes and dared not look him in the eye. She said softly, "I'm sorry, second brother. Qianya knows I was wrong."
Ye Lan frowned, not understanding. "Yan Li, Qianya just wanted to have a meal with you. How can you, as a brother, say such things? Look, you're almost scaring your sister to tears."
Ji Yanli raised his eyebrows, "Mom, I just took some time out to come back today. I'm going to join the crew in two days, so how can I have the time?"
Ye Lan's face darkened slightly. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Ji Heng, who was sitting in the main seat. "Alright, come and sit down. I have something to say."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu walked to the sofa and sat down first. She could guess that it was related to her engagement.
Ji Yanli and Ji Jingchen then sat down next to Li Shu, one on the left and one on the right.
Seeing this, Ji Qianya pinched her fingers hard into her palms, feeling unwilling. It was obvious that Ji Jingchen and Ji Yanli had completely sided with Li Shu. If this continued, there would soon be no place for her in the Ji family.
No, she couldn't let Li Shu snatch away the favor of her third brother Ji Si, and she also had to hold on to Ye Lan.
Ji Heng raised his eyes to look at Li Shu, and said gently: "Xiao Shu, your mother should have mentioned to you this morning that you will have dinner with the Shen family tomorrow night. It's just a meal, not that you will be married immediately."
"Besides, you are only 19 years old now. You have to wait for a few more years before getting married. You can try to get along with Shen Yu and get to know him better. If it doesn't work out by then, Dad won't force you."
