Now that things had come to this, Ji Huai no longer hid anything and snorted, "That's right, it's Xiao Yun."
Yao Xueying's mind went blank, and she didn't react for a long time.
So, the son has his eye on the ninth son's fiancée?!
No wonder he's her own son! Fighting with the ninth prince for a woman, he's got guts!
Ji Huai saw through Yao Xueying's thoughts and warned her, "Xueying, let me tell you, that kid Ji Lun has no chance."
“He’s wild and fickle, not a good match for Xiaoyun. Tell him to put his mind to it.”
“If you really want Ji Lun to get married soon, I’ll personally find him a partner. Any rich heiress or socialite will do, but Xiao Yun is absolutely out of the question.”
Yao Xueying frowned, "Dad, why can't Ji Lun do it? You're so biased!"
"Hmph, one after another they say I'm biased. Parents can't treat everyone equally. Fine, I'm tired."
Ji Huai had no desire to deal with his eldest daughter-in-law; she was a difficult person to handle.
Yao Xueying bit her lip in frustration and immediately called her son.
"Lunlun, where are you? Mom has some shocking news. Xu Jia is not Lao Jiu's fiancée at all. You like that girl. You can't lose to Lao Jiu."
Ji Lun was drinking with Shen Lu and a few others in Yiye City. A pretty young girl was sitting next to him, her small hand restlessly stroking his chest.
Ji Lun took the girl's hand and kissed it. "Go play over there."
Only then did he reply to Yao Xueying, "Mom, what did you just say?"
"I'm telling you, Xu Qingyun is the marriage prospect your grandfather chose for Lao Jiu. Let me tell you, your grandfather dotes on Lao Jiu the most, he would never just pick any nouveau riche's daughter. Who knows, that girl might have something special about her, you must snatch her away for me!"
Ji Lun's face was gloomy, and the wine glass in his hand shattered with a "crack"!
Xu Qingyun and Ji Hanchen are engaged?!
No wonder Grandpa made an appointment with Xu Qingyun, no wonder when he woke up drunk that day, Grandpa told him not to bother Xu Qingyun anymore.
It turns out it was all for my uncle!
But on what grounds?! He was the one who met Xu Qingyun first!
He pursued Xu Qingyun for two years before becoming her boyfriend!
Ji Lun's voice sounded like it was suppressing a raging storm, "I understand, Mom. Don't worry, just don't let Uncle know about this!"
"Don't worry, Mom knows."
Yao Xueying agreed, looking smug.
But when she turned around, she met Ji Hanchen's cold, icy gaze.
Yao Xueying gasped, her whole body stiffening. "Old... Ninth Brother, what did you hear?"
Ji Hanchen's gaze was piercing. "How much do you think I heard, Aunt?"
This means that he not only heard it, but heard quite a lot of it.
**
"Jilun, where are you going? These two are both innocent tonight, especially you, such a good girl, don't waste your time."
A girl was straddling Shen Lu's lap, her tank top straps had fallen down to her shoulders, revealing a voluptuous chest.
The girl who had been teasing Ji Lun earlier was also sitting to the side, behaving obediently, but her pencil skirt was too short, forcing her two slender white legs to be pressed tightly together.
Ji Lun smiled enigmatically, "How can the goods here compare to the Oriental Goddess of Cambridge?"
Shen Lu laughed unrestrainedly, "What, planning to use force?"
Ji Lun said in a flippant tone, "A woman needs to know how hard you are before she'll be devoted to you."

Xu Qingyun had just dried her hair and turned on the air conditioner.
She didn't know if it was because the temperature had dropped today, but she felt a bit cold, as if cold water had been poured on her back.
As she crawled into bed, Xu Qingyun picked up the jade pendant, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the tassel hairpin on the bedside table.
She paused for a moment, remembering Ji Hanchen's words.
Ji Hanchen said he would give her a hairpin every month from now on. Does he know she likes hairpins?
Tonight in the car, she saw Ji Hanchen's memo, which clearly listed all the things she liked to eat.
He put his heart into it.
Could it be that he really likes her?
But is it really that easy for a man to develop feelings for a woman? Does love at first sight really exist?
Just as Xu Qingyun was feeling lost, a doorbell rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Her eyes turned cold as she picked up her specially made hairpin and styled her hair with one hand.
In the video call, Ji Lun's enlarged handsome face almost filled the entire screen.
Xu Qingyun frowned and glanced back at the wall clock in the living room. It was already 10:30. Why was Ji Lun here?
"Xiaoyun, open the door, I have something I want to tell you."
Xu Qingyun thought for a moment and said distantly, "It's too late, let's talk on the phone."
She was very wary, and even though Ji Lun was her ex-boyfriend and she knew him very well, she didn't let her guard down.
Bang bang bang!
Ji Lun pounded on the door and shouted, "Wife, I was wrong. I'll never drink again. Please let me in!"
Someone opened the door quickly and yelled, "What are you banging on?! What time is it? My child just fell asleep and has to go to school tomorrow. Don't you have any manners?!"
Ji Lun looked helpless. "Big sister, I'm so sorry, my wife won't open the door for me and won't answer my phone..."
Whoosh!
The door opened.
Xu Qingyun's pretty face was cold, and her eyes revealed undisguised anger.
Ji Lun gave a flippant smile and quickly closed the door.
Xu Qingyun immediately stepped back, her eyes wary.
Ji Lun had drunk some wine, and his body carried a faint smell of alcohol mixed with a cool minty scent.
He had been pursuing Xu Qingyun for two years and knew that she hated the smell of smoke and disliked the smell of alcohol even more.
She always had a light, clean, and refreshing fragrance about her.
Ji Lun knew this well, so he always carried Extra chewing gum with him.
