The housekeeper already knew that Ji Hanchen had always regarded Xu Jia as his fiancée, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
If Ninth Master knew that the Old Master was going to arrange his engagement to Miss Qingyun tonight, he would be ecstatic.
"Ninth Master, don't ask now. You'll find out soon enough. You'll definitely be thrilled in your mind then."
The butler looked mysterious, and after saying that, he quickly went back to his work.
Ji Hanchen was somewhat surprised. The only thing that could make him feel excited was that the old man agreed to his marriage with Yunyun.
It's impossible for the old man to have a change of heart and agree to let him break off his engagement with Xu Jia and be with Yunyun, right?
Thinking about it, Ji Hanchen's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of anticipation immediately rose within him, causing a gentle smile to appear on his lips.
Ren Anjing's expression turned even colder when she saw Ji Hanchen's smile.
Her son had never laughed like that with her before, never!
I'm completely infatuated with that girl, Xu Qingyun!
Ji Hanchen noticed Ren Anjing's gaze, the smile on his lips vanished instantly, and he walked past her without saying a word.
Yao Xueying covered her mouth and sneered, "Tsk tsk, you don't even care about your own son, what's the point of living?"
Ren Anjing looked at Yao Xueying sternly, "If you want to survive in a wealthy family, be careful with your words and actions, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
Yao Xueying scoffed, "Is that considered a threat?"
You can think that way!
After giving her cold warning, Ren Anjing walked towards Ji Hanchen and sternly warned, "Even if your father agrees, I will not let you marry Ye Jianjia's daughter! Remember that!"
Ji Hanchen's dark eyes narrowed sharply, his smile turning cold and menacing. "Ms. Ren is meddling too much!"
"Ji Hanchen, you..."
Just as Ren Anjing was about to get angry, she heard a commotion and Xu Sen, Liang Wanrou, and Xu Jia arrived.
"Han Chen." Xu Jia saw Ji Han Chen and immediately pounced on him like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.
She forgets everything she's been taught and tries to throw herself into Ji Hanchen's arms whenever she sees him.
If she hadn't always lacked the opportunity, she would have gotten Ji Hanchen drunk long ago and forced him into bed with her.
"Get out of here!" Ji Hanchen shouted, his eyes filled with disgust.
Xu Jia was startled by the fierce aura emanating from Ji Hanchen, then pouted and muttered softly, "Hanchen, don't be like this, we're here tonight to discuss our engagement..."
Liang Wanrou pinched her daughter hard, "Shut up!"
Ji Huai knew what was going on. His brainless daughter dared to bring it up in public. Was she afraid that the truth would come out?
Xu Sen looked at Ren Anjing, his eyes darting away.
Ren Anjing also saw Xu Sen, her sharp eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
In the beginning, Ye Jianjia got together with Xu Sen, and it was actually she who pushed things along.
She never expected that Xu Qingyun would be entangled with her son.
Just then, Ji Lun returned home with light steps. "Wow, it's quite lively today."
Upon seeing Ji Hanchen, Ji Lun smiled frivolously and walked up to him. "Uncle, I heard you and Xiaoyun are siblings?"
Ji Hanchen clenched his fists. If the old man hadn't told him with absolute certainty that Yunyun had nothing to do with him, he probably wouldn't have been able to control his anger.
"Ji Lun, don't force me to beat you up in front of your mother!" Ji Hanchen's voice was as cold as ice, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point.
Ji Lun sneered, "You won't be able to be so arrogant in a moment."
Ji Huai came downstairs with a happy expression.
The old man was shrewd all his life, and naturally he could tell that something was wrong, but he pretended not to know.
"Ninth Brother, call Yun and see where she is. She's the main character today."
Ji Hanchen quickly called Xu Qingyun, but no one answered.
Not far away, Ji Lun's face showed a sinister expression.
Xu Qingyun is currently waiting for him in her room, being held captive by Shen Lu and his men, and cannot get out at all.
Just then, a graceful figure appeared under the moonlight.
The girl's figure was graceful, and the tassel hairpin on her head swayed with every step, captivating the heart.
Ji Lun was startled. Xu Qingyun?!
He glanced at Ji Hanchen, realized that Ji Hanchen hadn't noticed, and quickly ran out of the villa.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in your room..."
Snap!
Xu Qingyun slapped Ji Lun across the face, her cool and pretty face showing anger.
"Jilun, you disgust me!"
"What?" Ji Lun was stunned by the blow.
Xu Qingyun sneered, "You want your cronies to ruin me, yet you keep saying you love me?!"
Ji Lun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, "You mean Shen Lu and the others want to..."
A surge of overwhelming rage welled up within him; those beasts deserved to die!
"Xiaoyun, listen to me, I didn't!" Ji Lun grabbed Xu Qingyun.
Xu Qingyun angrily shook off Ji Lun.
Whether it is or not doesn't matter anymore!
If she hadn't been careful tonight and hadn't swiped her card but not gone in immediately, she might have been in real danger.
Moreover, she had Uncle Liu with her. When the three men came out to pull her away, Uncle Liu helped, which is why she escaped unharmed!
Ji Lun pulled Xu Qingyun into his arms. "Qingyun, I really didn't."
Xu Qingyun was trapped in Ji Lun's arms and couldn't break free, so she became a little anxious.
Just then, Ji Hanchen rushed over like a gust of wind, grabbed Ji Lun, and pulled him away.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Hanchen hugged Xu Qingyun in his arms, looked down at her, and asked, "Yunyun, are you alright?"
Xu Qingyun shook her head, "It's nothing."
Ji Hanchen took her warm hand and said softly, "Yunyun, I'll take you to meet Grandpa and tell him about our marriage."
Xu Qingyun frowned. "Ji Hanchen, I'm here to break off my engagement with Ji Lun."
