Aunt Min gave Ji Zhinan a sarcastic look, and raised her voice a few decibels: "Madam, the Second Miss is back!"
Madam Ji trimmed all the messy leaves, looked them over carefully, and only showed a satisfied expression after confirming that there were no problems.
Turning her head, she saw Ji Zhinan, her eyes narrowed, and her brows furrowed.
Aunt Min stepped forward and took the trimmer from her hand. Madam Ji took the handkerchief Aunt Min gave her and gently wiped her fingers with great elegance.
She walked to the comfortable table and chairs next to her, sat down, and Aunt Min had already prepared hot tea for her.
She took a sip politely before raising her eyes to stare at Ji Zhinan, who was still standing there motionless, and frowned.
"What are you still standing there for? Come and sit down."
Her words were cold and sharp, showing none of the gentleness and patience of a mother.
No, she does have it, but her maternal love is not directed towards Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan remained calm and said nothing, then walked over and sat down opposite Madam Ji.
After finishing her cup of tea, Madam Ji poured herself another cup.
“Your sister is getting engaged.” She suddenly said.
He looked up, staring at Ji Zhinan, and continued, "It'll be in three days, this weekend."
Ji Zhinan calmly replied, "I know."
Madam Ji took a sip of tea before putting the cup on the table and looking directly at her: "I called you back today for no other reason than to tell you something, so that you won't do anything outrageous in the future and then say that I, as your mother, didn't warn you beforehand."
She smoothed her hair and said, "Although you vehemently deny it, I raised you. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? But that doesn't matter now. Ji Zhinan, let me tell you, whatever you want to do, you'd better keep it to yourself from now on!"
Madam Ji's eyes suddenly turned sharp, her cold gaze fixed on Ji Zhinan, radiating a chilling aura.
"If Xiaxia comes crying and tells me one day that you, Ji Zhinan, are stealing her man, do you think I'll let you off the hook!"
"..."
Ji Zhinan thought that Madam Ji wanted to see her for something, but it turned out that she wanted to give her a warning before the engagement.
Ji Zhinan lowered his head and smiled.
"hehe……"
Her smile grew wider and wider, causing Madam Ji to frown: "What are you laughing at!"
"Mom, you're overthinking it." Ji Zhinan smiled, seemingly in a good mood. "Mom, if I really wanted Mu Zeyu, would I need to resort to underhanded tactics to steal him? When my sister had that accident, I directly told Grandpa that I liked Mu Zeyu. I think Grandpa would definitely have let me be with him, and then my sister wouldn't have had this problem..."
Ji Zhinan is right. Given how much the old man dotes on her, as long as she says she likes Mu Zeyu, he will do everything in his power to fulfill her wish.
Madam Ji stared at her warily, wondering if this brat would actually go to see the old man!
"My feelings for Mu Zeyu are a thing of the past, from eight hundred years ago. I was too young back then and couldn't tell the difference between a human and a dog. Since you care so much about Young Master Mu, I offer my sincere blessings. I wish them a long and happy life together and many children."
Upon hearing Ji Zhinan's first few words, Madam Ji was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, but his subsequent words were more palatable and managed to quell her anger.
"Mu Zeyu is the heir apparent of the Mu Group, the sole successor. No one but Xia Xia is good enough for him. You'd better have some self-awareness," Madam Ji said coldly.
Ji Zhinan stood up, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I know my own limitations."
She deliberately emphasized those four words.
