Ji Zhinan was surprised to see this expression on Wang Haoran's face, and she raised a single eyebrow.
“You two siblings are so funny. The famous star Wang didn’t treat me like this just now.”
She narrowed her eyes, recalling what had just happened, and said leisurely, "I remember that the famous actress Wang said that I seduced Lin Que. If it weren't for me, she and Lin Que, who are a perfect match, would have been together long ago."
"She also said I was disgusting and seducing you."
"What else did she say? Oh, she said I want to marry into a wealthy family through you."
Ji Zhinan smiled and looked at him with a sly smile: "Do you think I want to marry into a wealthy family?"
"..." With each sentence Ji Zhinan spoke, Wang Haoran's face paled a little more.
He knew his sister had a problem with Ji Zhinan, but he never expected her to say so many hurtful things to him!
Want to marry into a wealthy family through him? What nonsense! Does she even care about wealthy families? She married into nobility, royalty! Wealthy families are nothing to her!
“My sister knows nothing. I asked her to apologize on your behalf. Please, please forgive her and let Wang Shi go. She really can’t take it anymore…”
"What did you say?!"
Before Ji Zhinan could speak, the woman's sharp voice interrupted their conversation.
Then Wang Shanshan, dressed in an expensive gown, hurried over and stared at her younger brother.
"Haoran, what did you just say? Say it again, what happened to the Wang family?"
Wang Shanshan discovered her younger brother was missing and searched everywhere without success. Then she realized that Ji Zhinan was not Gu Yibei's identity. She immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly went upstairs.
Unexpectedly, the first thing they heard was Wang Haoran's words.
Seeing her younger brother's pained expression, Wang Shanshan was frantic: "Haoran! Why are you pretending to be mute at a time like this? Tell me what happened at home! Tell me now!"
"Several of Wang's important projects ran into problems, causing the company to lose hundreds of millions. Then... the company's cash flow dried up, and it won't last much longer..."
"..." Wang Shanshan was dumbfounded.
As a celebrity, she often has to go out to participate in various activities, and she hasn't been home for a long time, so Wang Shanshan had no idea that Wang's family had gotten into trouble.
Ji Zhinan glanced at the siblings indifferently, left with the words "You reap what you sow" before departing.

Back upstairs, Shelley was calling for the waiter to bring in the food.
Upon seeing Ji Zhinan arrive, Shelley immediately greeted her, "Young Miss."
After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, Shelley said, "Young Master was worried that Miss wouldn't be used to the food from outside, so he had our own cook prepare some of the dishes you bought and send them over. I was going to go downstairs to call you, but I didn't expect you to come up here by yourself."
Looking at the steaming food on the table, Ji Zhinan felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"My brother always gets into trouble."
"The young master is feeling sorry for the young lady."
Ji Zhinan knew this, so she was very touched.
Sitting down, Shelley broke the chopsticks in half and handed them to her: "Miss, I heard there's some trouble downstairs?"
"Yes," Ji Zhinan replied, "My adoptive father."
“I know,” Shelley nodded. “I glanced over from upstairs, and that young man next to him is mentally ill!”
The young man next to Ji Pengfei? Mu Zeyu?
Ji Zhinan thought for a moment, and realized that Mu Zeyu seemed to be the only one present at the time.
His gaze immediately fell on Shelley: "The one in the black suit with the slicked-back hair?"
Shelley nodded vigorously in agreement: "Yes, that's him!"
