The person who came was a deliveryman from an international air freight company specializing in fresh flowers.
The assistant, Ms. Lin, who came to order the flowers said that Mr. Si had ordered them for his daughter.
They left this address so they could deliver the flowers here.
Therefore, when this man saw the elegantly dressed woman in front of him, he naturally assumed that she was the mistress of the house and that the young lady must be the lady's daughter.
For Ji Xin, hearing the word "Miss" naturally made her think of Ji Yuwei.
They never treated Jiang Nian as the daughter of the Ji family.
Looking at the newcomer, he asked suspiciously, "Mr. Si? Which Si are you referring to?"
The deliveryman said respectfully, "It's the 'Si' in 'boss,' Madam."
The "si" in "shangsi" (上司)?
In Jiangcheng, there's only one family with the surname Si.
Could it be Si Boye, the heir of the Si family?
Ji Xin's eyes lit up, and she immediately examined the flower: "What kind of flower is this? I've never seen it before."
This flower resembles a miniature blooming fire lily, quiet yet captivatingly beautiful, and its color is also quite rare.
The flower is entirely black, but its stamens are golden. Combined with its exquisite and luxurious packaging, it looks quite valuable.
The deliveryman explained, "Madam, this flower is called the Night Firefly. It only grows on a small island in Northern Europe. It only produces less than half an acre at a time each year, so it is very rare. Mr. Si bought it for one million."
"This firefly flower may look ordinary during the day, but once it gets dark, its stamens emit a golden glow around it, which is very beautiful. It's like golden fireflies gathering on a bouquet, which can dispel the darkness."
"Mr. Si believes that Miss will like this flower."
"You mean, this bouquet cost a million?!" Of all the introductions, Ji Xin only heard the words "one million".
Even though Ji Xin came from a wealthy family, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Spending a million dollars on a bouquet of flowers that will only last a few days is too extravagant! Even if you have money, you can't just burn it like that.
Now there's no doubt that the Mr. Si who sent the flowers must be Si Boye!
Ji Xin's eyes lit up with joy, and she immediately took the flowers: "Alright, I'll pass them on for you, you can go now!"

Not long after the man left.
Ji Yuwei opened the door of the Ji family home in a daze.
Her hair was disheveled, her dress was filthy, her face was as pale as a ghost, and she seemed to have lost her soul.
It was the man in the suit who tied her up in the warehouse who took her back to the Ji family. He didn't say a word to her the whole time; he just put her down and left.
Recalling the scene before she fainted from fright, when Jiang Nian held a dagger and stabbed the tip into her eye, Ji Yuwei's legs went weak and she could barely stand.
...That's terrifying.
The moment Jiang Nian thrust the knife forward, all she saw in the girl's dark eyes was indifference.
A commonplace indifference, taking lives with a swift stroke of the knife.
This is not the look a normal high school girl should have.
Even though she was kidnapped and warned by Jiang Nian, she didn't dare to call the police.
How could Jiang Nian know that she was the one who pushed her into the water and then tied her up? Was there a friend of hers who witnessed the incident, or was there CCTV footage?
If she calls the police, Jiang Nian will expose the evidence, and her career in the entertainment industry will be ruined!
She could only swallow this bitter pill!
"aunt--"
As she entered the living room, Ji Yuwei, still shaken, called out to Ji Xin with lingering fear.
Ji Xin was startled when she saw her appearance: "Yuwei, what happened to you?"
"Didn't you also go to the banquet? How come you came back later than Jiang Nian, and you're all so dirty?"
Upon hearing Jiang Nian's name, Ji Yuwei suddenly shuddered and could only bite her lip to make up an excuse: "I...I tripped and fell on my way back."
"How could you be so careless?"
Without thinking much, Ji Xin pulled Ji Yuwei over with a happy expression and said in a reproachful tone, "You child, when did you meet the heir of the Si family? Why didn't you tell your aunt?"
“…What?” Ji Yuwei was stunned.
"Look, this bouquet of flowers was just delivered to you by Si Boye. It's called Night Firefly Flower."
Ji Xin immediately took the flowers that Si Boye had given her. "This bouquet is worth a million. If Si Boye didn't like you, why would he go to such lengths for you?"
Ji Yuwei took a deep breath, both surprised and delighted.
"Auntie, are you telling the truth? These flowers were really sent to me by Si Boye? But I don't know him at all."
The moment Si Boye entered the door, Ji Yuwei was covered with a sack and dragged away in the dark, and she knew nothing about what happened to the Song family afterwards.
Naturally, no one knew that Si Boye had appeared at the banquet later and had even taken Jiang Nian away in front of everyone.
"How could this be fake! It must be because you made a stunning appearance at the Song family tonight, and this heir of the Si family saw you and fell in love with you at first sight. That's why he bought such expensive flowers and had them delivered to his home."
"I think Si Boye is planning to pursue you. That's the Si family, you little rascal, your good fortune is just around the corner!"
Ji Xin spoke with absolute certainty. She never even considered that the "lady" the deliveryman was referring to might be Jiang Nian.
In her view, how could someone like Jiang Nian, who grew up in the countryside, possibly be associated with the powerful Si family of Jiangcheng? And why would the heir of the prestigious Si family condescend to spend a million dollars on flowers for a country bumpkin?
"Very good!"
Ji Yuwei instantly forgot everything that had happened before.
Holding the flowers, my heart pounded with excitement.
She immediately returned to her room, washed her disheveled face, carefully reapplied her makeup, and put on her elegant pajamas.
I took a selfie while holding the flowers.
She posted on Weibo with the caption: "[Received a beautiful bouquet of flowers today, and I'm in such a great mood~]"
Accompanied by a selfie.
The seemingly casual photos were actually taken from over a hundred shots before being selected and then edited for half an hour.
Ji Yuwei is considered a popular young actress. Although she has less than 10 million followers on Weibo, she has a considerable number of active fans.
This Weibo post garnered numerous comments within minutes of being published.
[Ahhh, the baby is so beautiful! I finally got to see a selfie of the baby!]
[What kind of flower is that in my wife's arms? I've never seen it before, it's so beautiful!]
[I searched the screenshot, and this is the legendary firefly flower? I heard it costs a million yuan for a bunch in China!!]
[One million?! I'm stunned! Who has the money to send my wife such expensive flowers?! My wife is truly a rich and beautiful heiress, a real gem!!]
Soon after, new top comments appeared.
[Look, isn't that the custom-made ribbon on the flowers printed with the Si Group's logo? Could it be that the person who sent the flowers to Yuwei is the heir of the Si Group?!]
