She had just received a threatening phone call from "Mr. Gu" yesterday, and today Ji Pengfei told her to go home.
In addition to Ji Zhixia's text message...
Ji Zhinan opened his phone, tapped the call log, and saw that the most recent call was from last night to "Mr. Gu".
I thought "Mr. Gu" was a smart man, but he turned out to be incredibly stupid.
Ji Zhinan gripped his phone tightly, unable to suppress the chill emanating from his body.
Since Mr. Gu is heartless, then don't blame Ji Zhinan for being unjust!
…
When Ji Zhinan arrived home, the living room was quiet.
The servants were all inside the room and didn't come out to serve.
Ji Pengfei, Mrs. Ji, Ji Zhixia, and Mr. Ji were all sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Judging from their posture, they're just waiting for Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan ignored Ji Pengfei and his family of three as usual, only greeting Grandpa Ji.
"grandfather."
"Hmm." Upon seeing Ji Zhinan, a smile appeared on Old Master Ji's cold face: "You're back?"
"Um."
Grandpa Ji stopped smiling and turned to look at Ji Pengfei: "Nannan is someone we've watched grow up. This child has always been very sensible and would never steal money!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Ji Zhinan's eyes flashed.
Stealing money?
Was it not "Mr. Gu" who tipped them off?
Sitting next to Madam Ji, Ji Zhixia immediately retorted, "Grandpa, you can know a person's face but not their heart. I used to think my sister was obedient and sensible, but if Nana hadn't told me herself, I wouldn't have believed it!"
Madam Ji followed up on her daughter's words, saying, "Nana is Xiaxia's best friend. She has no grudges against Ji Zhinan and would never deliberately slander him. So what she said is probably true."
Ji Zhinan didn't understand and looked at Grandpa Ji: "Grandpa?"
Before Old Master Ji could speak, Ji Zhixia spoke first in a sarcastic tone.
"My dear sister, what are you pretending to be innocent for now? You'd better tell the truth and beg for mercy, and Mom and Dad might spare your life out of all the years of family ties! Otherwise..."
Ji Zhixia was about to sneer, but was glared at by the old man's sharp eyes. She shrank back without any backbone, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Even at this point, that old man is still protecting Ji Zhinan. How annoying!
"Dad!" Mrs. Ji immediately defended her daughter, complaining unhappily, "Why are you blaming Xiaxia? Xiaxia didn't do anything wrong. Is it wrong for her to tell the truth?"
"Shut up too!" the old man snapped, and Madam Ji dared not speak.
When he looked at Ji Zhinan, Old Master Ji's expression softened considerably.
"Nan Nan, it's nothing serious. It's just that the Cao family's daughter said you cheated her out of 2.5 million yuan and wants us to give her an explanation."
So that's what it was about.
Ji Zhinan remained extremely calm.
"Nannan, tell Grandpa, is this true?" Grandpa Ji asked gently.
"Yes," Ji Zhinan said frankly, "There is indeed."
"Hiss—" The sound of gasping for breath came from the side, and Madam Ji and her daughter were more excited than the other.
"Dad, did you hear that? Ji Zhinan admitted it!"
"Grandpa, Nana didn't lie!"
Grandpa Ji ignored them completely, looked at Ji Zhinan, and continued to ask kindly, "Child, can you tell Grandpa what happened?"
Ji Zhinan nodded: "That day I went to the gym, and Cao Nana deliberately made things difficult for me, and ended up breaking my bag. I gave her two choices: either buy me a new one or buy the broken one, because I don't accept defective products. She couldn't afford to buy me a new one, so she bought the broken one. Is there a problem?"
