Xu Jia's blood was boiling, and her lips trembled with excitement, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time!
Did heaven hear her prayers? Xu Qingyun's fiancé really was Ji Hanchen, that powerful and unattainable man?!
In other words, she will become the future mistress of the Ji family?!
Hahaha, the lady of the Ji family!
Xu Jia felt like she was about to burst into tears, wishing she could tell her parents right away.
She did what she said she would do, but as soon as she turned around, she twisted her ankle and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Ouch...it hurts so much," Xu Jia cried out.
Seeing that Ji Lun didn't help her up like he had done at the Ji family's ancestral home before, Xu Jia wasn't annoyed.
She was about to become Ji Lun's aunt, so she didn't care about Ji Lun anymore.
Xu Jia got up by herself, blew on her scraped palms, and her eyes were slightly red.
Ji Lun put his hands in his pockets, squinted his peach blossom eyes, and secretly made plans in his mind.
Xu Qingyun was never particularly fond of romance, especially disliking men who hadn't properly sorted out their relationships.
The younger brother-in-law was clearly engaged to Xu Jia, yet he was still entangled with Xu Qingyun, which touched a nerve with Xu Qingyun.
Ji Lun immediately walked into the villa.
If Xu Qingyun really fell in love with her uncle, wouldn't his two-year pursuit of her become a joke?!
He still has a bet with Shen Lu and the others, and he must make Xu Qingyun give up on her uncle.

At the dinner table.
When Xu Sen saw Ji Lun return, he quickly brought up the topic of the engagement again, "Young Master Ji, although the old master didn't come today, Ninth Master is here. He is also considered Young Master Ji's elder. Shouldn't we discuss the wedding date?"
Ji Lun looked at Ji Hanchen with a half-smile, "This matter really needs to be discussed with Uncle, after all, he is the one who has the most say."
Ji Hanchen's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and two sharp, cold beams of light suddenly shot out.
Ji Lun's words were loaded with meaning; did he know that Xu Jia had mistaken someone for someone else?
Xu Sen and Liang Wanrou completely failed to grasp the underlying meaning of Ji Lun's words, assuming that Ji Hanchen, as the heir of the Ji family and now in charge of the Ji Group, naturally had the right to speak.
Xu Sen smiled and looked at Ji Hanchen, "Ninth Master, what do you think?"
Xu Jia stood beside Ji Hanchen, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with spring-like joy, as if she wished she could throw herself into Ji Hanchen's arms.
"Yes, Han Chen, when would be a good time for our wedding?"
Ji Hanchen felt annoyed. "The cheap perfume you're wearing makes me physically uncomfortable."
Xu Jia froze instantly, her face turning pale and then flushed.
She's a girl, after all, and she smells wonderful, so how could she cause physical discomfort?!
"Han Chen, please don't do this, I..."
"Get out!" Ji Hanchen's aura turned cold, as if every cell in his body was releasing a terrifying killing intent.
Xu Jia felt a chill run down her spine and immediately shivered violently.
What a terrifying man, what a suffocating sense of oppression.
Xu Sen frowned. "Jiajia, sit properly."
Liang Wanrou also felt that her daughter was really out of line; what kind of behavior was she?!
"Jiajia, come with me!" Liang Wanrou stood up and pulled Xu Jia away, her dignified smile already somewhat forced.
The mother and daughter went upstairs to the second floor. Liang Wanrou stared at the direction of the restaurant downstairs and scolded in a low voice, "Jiajia, what are you doing? How dare you call Hanchen that? Are you crazy?!"
"Mom! I'm not crazy, he's my fiancé!" Xu Jia was extremely excited, her eyes shining brightly.
Liang Wanrou gasped, her eyes wide with shock, and for a moment she even forgot to lower her voice: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xu Jia jumped up and down in a panic, "Mom, I'm telling the truth! I mistook you for someone else. The one engaged to that bitch Xu Qingyun is Ji Hanchen!"
“That day when we went to the Ji family’s ancestral home, I thought Ji Lun was my fiancée, so I took the initiative to say that I was his fiancée. Ji Lun thought that I was arranged by his mother, so he also mistook me for someone else.”
Liang Wanrou's heart was in turmoil, like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, instantly causing it to explode.
Her daughter's engagement is actually to the Ninth Master of the Ji family! It's like a dream!
Liang Wanrou took a deep breath, clutching her chest, trying her best to control her agitated emotions.
But Liang Wanrou quickly calmed down.
That day at the Ji family's old residence, Ji Huai mentioned Xu Qingyun, which means he knew of Xu Qingyun's existence.
Oh no, it might not be that Ji Huai forgot that Xu Qingyun and Ji Hanchen were engaged, but rather that there was some misunderstanding!
Furthermore, Ji Hanchen makes no attempt to hide his disgust for Jiajia, his heart is completely devoted to that little vixen Xu Qingyun, which is not a good sign.
Liang Wanrou's face was cold and she grabbed Xu Jia's shoulder. "Jiajia, you must stay calm! Don't mention the engagement! There's a misunderstanding here. We need to know if Ji Huai knows Xu Qingyun's identity."
"Mom, when will I finally become the Ninth Madam?" Xu Jia was truly impatient; otherwise, she wouldn't have thrown herself at Ji Hanchen just now.
Liang Wanrou glared at her fiercely, "If you still want to marry Ji Hanchen, then you'd better keep your cool!"
"Ji Hanchen clearly doesn't like you. If you want him to marry you, the only way is to start with Ji Huai."
"But if Ji Huai finds out you are not Xu Qingyun, then this engagement will definitely be null and void!"
"Remember this, never let Xu Qingyun know about this, otherwise that little hussy will definitely not let it go."
"Also, don't contact Ji Hanchen in private. He probably doesn't know that the engagement is with Xu Qingyun yet. Don't try to sabotage things at this time."
Xu Jia said impatiently, "Alright, stop nagging. Do you think I don't know that? I was just impulsive. I won't do it again."
