Ji Zhinan put his phone down and asked.
"The Ji and Mu families are engaged?"
"You didn't know?" Xing Minggao asked. "I thought you already knew, so I didn't tell you."
After all, Ji Zhinan is the second young lady of the Ji family. She would definitely know about her sister's engagement earlier than outsiders like them.
"..." Ji Zhinan only found out just now.
I kept hearing Ji Zhixia talking about getting engaged, but it was just talk; nothing was actually done.
I can't believe it's this weekend, time really flies.
"The Mu family sent an invitation this morning, and I'm considering whether to go," Xing Minggao said.
Although ZN and the Ji family are irreconcilable enemies, they have not yet openly broken ties with the Mu family.
Moreover, in the business world, unless you openly break ties, even if the other party is a competitor, you have to maintain a superficial relationship with a smile.
Sometimes, people put on a smiling face but stab you in the back; the waters run deep.
"Nan Nan, do you think I should go?" Xing Minggao asked Ji Zhinan.
"Uncle Xing can decide for himself," Ji Zhinan said, making no demands.
Xing Minggao could choose to go or not, but she had to be present.
The phone rang as soon as he finished speaking.
It wasn't Ji Zhixia, it wasn't Ji Pengfei, and it wasn't even Old Master Ji, but... Mrs. Ji?
Upon answering the phone, Ji Zhinan calmly responded with a reply after hearing what the other person said, and then hung up.
Xing Minggao looked at her, and Ji Zhinan got up and picked up her bag.
"Uncle Xing will still be in charge of the project in the north of the city. I have also approved the two ideas you just mentioned."
Leaving behind a single sentence, Ji Zhinan left the company.
………
When Ji Zhinan returned to the Ji family home, the house was very quiet, and the servants were cleaning.
Ji Zhinan pulled at him and asked, "Where's my grandfather?"
"Second Miss... The old master went to play chess with Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Fang early this morning."
"Oh, the Second Miss is back!"
Hearing the sarcastic voice, Ji Zhinan looked up and met Aunt Min standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
Aunt Min hasn't changed. She still looks down on people with an arrogant and condescending attitude, as if she wants to put her chin on Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan narrowed his eyes.
Aunt Min went downstairs and slowly walked to the opposite side of Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan was more than half a head taller than her, which immediately diminished Aunt Min's imposing manner.
"Master went to the company, the old master went out to play chess, the eldest daughter and the son-in-law are choosing their engagement dresses, and only the madam is at home."
After saying that, Aunt Min gave Ji Zhinan a provocative look.
She was telling Ji Zhinan that there was only the madam in this family, and no old man to support her!
Ji Zhinan ignored her provocation and asked calmly, "Where's my mother?"
"Madam is in the back garden, come with me." After saying that, she gave Ji Zhinan a look, turned around and left.
…
In the back garden, Madam Ji was wearing a cheongsam and holding tools for pruning flowers and plants.
The Ji family's back garden has a large rose garden. Because Mrs. Ji loves roses, Ji Pengfei specially commissioned someone to build a rose garden, and the rose seeds inside were also obtained with great effort.
This became Mrs. Ji's source of pride. Among the socialites who were on good terms with her, everyone knew that the Ji family had a rose garden, and Mrs. Ji often came to the back garden to tend to the flowers and plants when she had nothing to do.
"Madam, the second young lady has returned."
Aunt Min's address of "Second Miss" contained not a trace of respect.
"..." Madam Ji did not turn her head, and continued to trim the leaves.
