Even the cook at the Mu family's house had a big smile on her face when she saw Ji Zhixia.
"Madam and Young Master mentioned many of Miss Ji's favorite dishes, and Auntie has made them all!"
Ji Zhixia looked shy.
After a while, Mu Daxiang and Mu Zeyu came downstairs one after the other.
“Brother Zeyu…”
Upon seeing Mu Zeyu, Ji Zhixia immediately got up, ran over, and threw herself into his arms.
Mu Zeyu was unusually gentle today. He smiled and stroked Ji Zhixia's face: "I wanted to pick you up, but Dad was talking to me about work, so I had to let you come by yourself. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Ji Zhixia didn't feel wronged to begin with, and she was overjoyed to hear this, feeling very happy.
"What's there to feel wronged about..."
The usually serious Mu Daxiang was acting strangely today, being extremely gentle with Ji Zhixia: "Xiaxia is here."
Ji Zhixia quickly spoke up: "Dad Mu."
"good."
The Mu family quickly started their meal; there were five people in total, including the four members of the family and Ji Zhixia.
Mu Daxiang sat in the main seat, with Madam Mu and Mu Minmin on his right, and Mu Zeyu and Ji Zhixia on his left.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Mu kept using serving chopsticks to put food on Ji Zhixia's plate.
"Here, eat more of this. Zeyu said you love this. The whole plate is yours, no one will take it from you."
Ji Zhixia was a little overwhelmed by Madam Mu's enthusiasm: "Mama Mu, you've almost made me fat! If I get fat, Zeyu won't want me anymore..."
Madam Mu immediately said, "What do you mean fat? I don't think you're fat. I think you're too thin! Look at your little face, there's not a bit of flesh on it."
"It's alright, eat as much as you want, get fatter. If that brat Zeyu dares to abandon you, Mom will beat him to death and disown him as her son!"
Mu Zeyu looked completely innocent, as if he'd been dragged into this mess: "Mom, Xiaxia is the woman I love most in this life. Even if I die, I will never abandon her."
The mother and son worked together to coax Ji Zhixia completely.
"By the way, Xiaxia," Madam Mu changed the subject, "Your grandfather has been sick for so long, he should be discharged from the hospital soon, right?"
Ji Zhixia swallowed a mouthful of rice and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll be discharged from the hospital in the next couple of days."
"As long as the old man is in good health, that's fine." Madam Mu nodded.
Ji Zhixia: "My grandfather has always been in good health. When I visited him yesterday, he was able to eat and drink, but he just didn't want to be discharged from the hospital."
Ji Zhinan and Ji Pengfei are now in an awkward situation. If the old man is discharged from the hospital and goes home, he will probably have little chance to see Ji Zhinan. If the old man wants to see his granddaughter, he can only stay in the hospital.
Madam Mu asked tentatively with a mysterious air, "I heard that your grandfather still owns 20% of the Ji family's shares, is that right?"
Ji Zhixia nodded: "Yes."
"Twenty...that's quite a lot of money over the course of a year."
Madam Mu placed another chicken leg on Ji Zhixia's plate and continued, "You used to have a Ji Zhinan in your family, but now that it's been made clear that Ji Zhinan isn't your child, the Ji family... only has you as its heir."
Ji Zhixia was overjoyed at the mention of this, her eyebrows practically pointing to the back of her head: "It's like this..."
Madam Mu was overjoyed: "That's great! You're working at the company now, and I heard you almost finalized a cooperation agreement with the Jiang family as soon as you joined?"
Ji Zhixia nodded shyly.
"It's truly a blessing that Zeyu was born with such a promising future as a wife like you!"
