Ji Zhinan gave Ji Zhixia a mocking look and took his things from her hands.
"It seems that my sister and Young Master Mu have a disagreement. I won't get involved in your problem. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Having successfully created a rift between the two, Ji Zhinan left satisfied.
With only the two of them left, Mu Zeyu wanted to take Ji Zhixia to see the rings they had just seen, but Ji Zhixia was still thinking about the "Unique" series.
The sales assistants who served them were extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, while the other sales associates standing behind them huddled together, muttering amongst themselves.
"Are the young master of the Mu family and the eldest daughter of the Ji family really in love? They don't seem as affectionate as the rumors suggest. If they really like each other, why didn't they even buy the 'Only' series? They don't show any sincerity at all."
"What do you know? Marriages between wealthy families like theirs are fraught with uncertainty. Don't be fooled by their current love; when conflicts of interest arise, they'll break up faster than anyone else. Buying the 'only one' series? You'll be slapping yourself in the face when you get divorced later."
"Who was that who left just now? I heard Ji Zhixia call her 'sister,' could she be the second young lady of the Ji family? I heard that Ji Zhixia does have a sister, but she is very protective of her and has never made her known to the media."
"No wonder it wasn't made public. If it had, the Ji family's doorstep would have collapsed from the crowd! I just passed by Miss Ji the Second, and she's absolutely gorgeous. Her fair skin is stunning. My aunt owns a beauty salon, and I can tell at a glance that her work is all-natural. It's 100% authentic."
"Are they really sisters? I don't think so. The younger sister is much prettier than the older sister."
"Didn't you notice that Ji Zhixia looks different from before? Her nose is much more prominent, and her chin is different too. She must have had plastic surgery."
"If I had such a beautiful younger sister, I'd feel inferior and even consider plastic surgery..."
Ji Zhixia was sulking with Mu Zeyu when she overheard the conversation between the sales assistants behind her. Although she didn't hear the whole thing, she knew they were praising Ji Zhinan while putting her down.
She was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made her explode.
She turned and glared at the sales assistants: "I am the bride-to-be, so what if Ji Zhinan is beautiful!"
The sales assistants were talking enthusiastically when Ji Zhixia suddenly interrupted them, startling them.
"Miss Ji..."
Realizing what had happened, she hurriedly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Ji, we were just talking nonsense..."
"Enough!" Mu Zeyu interrupted impatiently, "Aren't you embarrassed enough already?!"
The prospective young mistress of the Mu Group harassed a sales assistant in public, showing no magnanimity whatsoever. It's only embarrassing if word gets out.
Mu Zeyu said coldly, "I think the two families are in too much of a hurry about the engagement. I'll give you time to think it over. If you don't want to get engaged, our Mu family will respect your decision."
Ji Zhixia panicked: "Brother Zeyu..."
The man turned and left, and Ji Zhixia immediately lost all interest in anything else and hurriedly chased after him.
"Brother Zeyu, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
…………
After leaving the mall, Ji Zhinan received a call from Xing Minggao inviting him to his home for dinner.
Ji Zhinan took a taxi to the Xing family's house, had dinner there, and then stayed instead of leaving.
In the evening, Xing Fei went to take a shower, while Ji Zhinan sat in front of his laptop to work.
“Nan Nan…” Madam Xing came in carrying a pile of clothes.
Ji Zhinan quickly put down his work: "Aunt Xing."
"Oh." Madam Xing smiled indulgently and placed the clothes on Xing Fei's bed.
