"Hehe... Auntie? She's mine... Xiaoyun is mine... I took a liking to her first..."
Ji Lun was rambling on and on in his drunken state. Before he could finish speaking, he felt nauseous and almost vomited on the ground.
Ji Huai was furious. What kind of mess was this?!
Xiaoyun was the fiancée he had arranged for Lao Jiu, but Lao Jiu didn't like her, while Ji Lun did?!
No, he absolutely cannot let Lao Jiu break off the engagement. He needs to find time to talk to Xiao Yun about her engagement with Lao Jiu!

Xu Qingyun soon learned about Hengli Construction's situation.
Although she hadn't returned to the capital for ten years, Uncle Liu was well-informed. As soon as she entered Guyunfang, Uncle Liu told her about it.
When Xu Qingyun couldn't calm down, she liked to paint ink paintings. At this moment, she had just laid out a half-finished sheet of Xuan paper, and her jade-like hands held the brush, dipping it in the inkstone.
While grinding ink for Xu Qingyun, Old Liu asked, "Miss, do you think the Xu family has offended some important figure?"
Xu Qingyun paused, and a handsome face came into view. The man asked her with concern, "Does it still hurt?"
Xu Qingyun was surprised that she would think of Ji Hanchen.
However, Hengli Construction still has assets worth hundreds of millions, and it seems that only the Ji family could make Hengli lose all its cooperation overnight.
The only person Xu Qingyun could think of was Ji Hanchen.
As for Ji Lun, how could it be Ji Lun who humiliated her like that last night?
But why would Ji Hanchen do this? Was it to avenge her?
While Xu Qingyun was distracted, Lao Liu handed her a check with both hands and placed it on the table.
"Oh, right, Miss, there's one more thing. Jiang Xun, the assistant of the Ninth Master of the Ji family, came by yesterday and gave me a check for two billion."
"What?!" Even Xu Qingyun, who was usually very calm, was shocked and raised her voice slightly after hearing this.
Xu Qingyun put down her brush, frowned, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Old Liu smiled wryly: "They said that Master Ji wanted to buy our Guyunfang. I didn't want to accept it at the time, but the offer was too much."
"Moreover, Assistant Jiang said that Ninth Master never fails to get what he wants. The implication is that we have to sell, whether we want to or not."
How should I reply?
Xu Qingyun pursed her pink lips.
What exactly does Ji Hanchen mean? Why would he buy Gu Yun Fang out of the blue?
After a moment's thought, Xu Qingyun instructed, "Uncle Liu, return the check and say that you won't sell it for any amount of money."
Old Liu was a little worried, "But what if..."
Xu Qingyun said softly, "Just do as I say. If the Ji family really wants to deal with us, I'll find a way."
**
Ji's Building.
Upon hearing Jiang Xun's report, Ji Hanchen raised a thick eyebrow. "Not even two billion?"
Chiang Hsun also found it unbelievable, "Yes. Mr. Songzhu is the owner of Guyunfang, and he refused to agree."
Ji Hanchen's eyes flickered, and a graceful figure appeared in his mind.
That woman not only resembled Yunyun in appearance, but also in her inherent arrogance.
However, Guyunfang held extraordinary significance for Yunyun, and he was determined to buy it.
"You can go now. We'll make plans after Songzhu has repaired Yunyun's jade pendant."
Jiang Xun thought to himself, "Is President Ji planning to discard me after I've served my purpose?"

Around 7 p.m., Xu Qingyun returned to the residential area and saw Xu Sen, Liang Wanrou, and Xu Jia from afar.
Her eyes turned cold, and she slowly walked over.
"Xiaoyun, you're back." Xu Sen greeted her, a forced smile on his aged face.
Xu Qingyun's voice was cold, "Did you need something from me?"
"Xiaoyun, Dad just wants to ask, was the man who came to our house yesterday Master Ji?"
"No," Xu Qingyun replied crisply.
She actually guessed what Xu Sen was thinking.
Hengli Construction is on the verge of bankruptcy. Xu Sen is desperate and has come to her hoping she can help him plead for help.
However, Xu Sen probably hadn't confirmed Ji Hanchen's identity, otherwise he wouldn't have asked that question.
Xu Sen was taken aback. "Xiao Yun, you're still angry with your father, aren't you? Dad apologizes to you. Will you save our family company?"
Liang Wanrou also chimed in, "Yes, Xiaoyun, please help your dad. He hasn't slept a wink since yesterday. After all, it's our family's company. You're a member of the Xu family; we can't just stand by and watch our family go bankrupt, can we?"
Xu Qingyun gave a cold smile. "I have no home. I was kicked out ten years ago."
"You..." Xu Sen almost exploded in anger, but he still held back. "Xiao Yun, please, Dad is begging you."
Beg her?
Xu Qingyun looked coldly at Xu Sen, "I'll help you if you want, but tell me, who among you killed Grandpa?"
Xu Sen's expression changed drastically, and Liang Wanrou's face turned pale.
Only Xu Jia gritted her teeth and said, "Mom and Dad, why are you wasting your breath talking to her? What can she do? That wild man can't possibly be the Ninth Master of the Ji family!"
As soon as Xu Jia finished speaking, Li Nannan sent her a video call.
"Jiajia, let me tell you, I saw the man from yesterday, the one with your sister. He's actually a gigolo at One Night City!"
Xu Jia's eyes widened: "Are you sure it's true?"
"Of course it's true, the man next to him said it himself! It's just that he doesn't do it anymore."
Xu Jia felt incredibly pleased. "Xu Qingyun, I never thought you were so shameless! You actually got kept by a gigolo?"
"Mom and Dad, did you hear that? Why are you still arguing with her?!"
"Let's not beg her. I'll go to Brother Ji Lun. He's going to marry me anyway, he'll definitely help us!"
Xu Sen was skeptical, but the embarrassment Xu Qingyun had just caused him left him with no choice but to believe her.
"Xu Qingyun, I regretted kicking you out ten years ago. Now it seems I was right. You're heartless and don't deserve to be my daughter, Xu Sen's daughter!"
