Lin Xi witnessed the whole thing.
He Ting's shamelessness stunned her; his skin was thicker than a city wall.
Fu Jingyao appeared at the door. "Let's go home."
"Hmm." Lin Xi suddenly remembered, "I haven't received the money yet."
Fu Jingyao's lips curled slightly. "Find Ji Heng."
"Fine, he's a member of the Ji family anyway."
Lin Xi went downstairs and immediately saw the boy in the middle, Ji Heng, distributing birthday cakes to everyone.
"Uncle Li, it's been a long time!"
"Aunt Liu, you're getting more and more beautiful."
"Brother Qiang, your outfit is awesome, you're doing pretty well. You'll have to mentor me from now on."
Ji Heng was very comfortable in the crowd and could chat with anyone.
Lin Xi commented, "This guy has become more sensible."
Fu Jingyao gazed at the figure not far away, "Ji Heng is almost twenty, it's time for him to grow up."
Grandpa Ji is old, Ji Mingshan is no longer capable, Fu Xinya is frail and sickly, and Ji Zheng is away tonight due to an accident, leaving only Ji Heng. He must uphold the reputation of the Ji family.
Ji Heng felt two gazes, and turned around holding the cake, "Brother, sister-in-law."
He rushed over immediately, "Hehe, want some cake?"
Lin Xi took the two plates of cake. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ji Heng said with a worried expression, "How is my sister?"
"She's fine, but Chu Ling suffered a minor injury, so they went to the hospital together."
Lin Xi remembered the bloodstains upstairs and reminded her, "When you have time, quickly have someone clean the last room on the left on the second floor. Don't let your grandfather know about this."
“I understand.” Ji Heng nodded seriously. “Grandpa is old and can’t be stressed.”
He patted his chest and assured her, "With my sister gone, I will take care of the Ji family. I will definitely not let my sister down."
"Do a good job." Lin Xi was about to take out her phone when she realized that she had something in both hands.
Fu Jingyao naturally accepted the cake, and Lin Xi took out her phone, "One last thing, pay up."
Ji Heng: "..."
No? How do I ask him to give me money?
He had just said that the Ji family had entrusted him with something, so it seemed reasonable for the big shot to ask him for money.
Ah! But the Ji family's money isn't under his control; he's just a poor wretch who gets pocket money every month, and he hasn't even received his pocket money this month.
Lin Xi glanced at his expression. "You want to renege on your debt?"
"No, I don't have any." Ji Heng opened his secret stash of money. "Boss, how much?"
"I used spiritual energy to seal the acupoints, so this time it's more expensive." Lin Xi held up three fingers.
Ji Heng's mouth dropped open. "Three million?"
He receives 500,000 yuan in pocket money every month, which amounts to 3 million yuan in six months, while he has exactly 3 million yuan in his secret stash.
Ji Heng suspected that the big boss and his brother had conspired to swindle him out of his savings, leaving him to live a frugal life this month.
Lin Xini glanced at him and said, "Thirty thousand."
Ji Heng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly transferred the money.
Oh my god! I was terrified.
The big boss is of high moral character, accepting small bribes to accomplish great things; he is a living bodhisattva of our time, radiating a holy aura.
His brother is so lucky, he married a big shot.
After Lin Xi finished collecting the money, she said, "Tell Grandpa Ji we're going home."
Fu Jingyao took her hand, and the two walked out the door together.
Ji Heng was filled with emotion, "I have to admit, you and the big boss are a perfect match, you're a match made in heaven."
At this moment, he felt a little like falling in love.
My brother has a powerful figure, Little Fatty has Xu Lingyi, and my sister has Chu Ling.
Ji Heng felt increasingly envious. He was the only single man in the world. Should he consult a fortune teller about his marriage prospects?
No, he has a lot of figurines.
A lover can't be with him forever, but a figurine can.
"Young Master Ji, Young Master." A voice came from behind him. Ji Heng turned around. "Who are you?"
Su Zikun smiled and said, "I am Jiang Ji's agent, the 38th generation spendthrift of the Su family. Su Zikun, you can call me Brother Kun or Little Brother Kun, but I am a few years older than you, so you should call me Brother Kun..."
He kept talking nonstop, and Ji Heng looked up at the sky speechlessly. This guy was even more arrogant than him. No wonder he was in the entertainment industry.
Ji Heng said impatiently, "What do you want from me? I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Su Zikun took out a beautifully wrapped gift box. "Young Master, this is just a small gift to express my respect."
Ji Heng glanced at it and exclaimed, "Holy crap! It's a figure that just came out last week. There are only five in the whole world. How do you have it?"
Su Zikun flashed eight teeth, "I know some high-ranking people at the animation production company, so this little thing is very easy to handle."
Ji Heng looked him over suspiciously. "You gave me this, what are you trying to do?"
"Let's be friends, don't be so formal." Su Zikun put his arm around his neck, his tone intimate and natural.
"Xiao Heng, it's perfectly normal for good friends to exchange gifts. Aren't we good friends now?"
several?
This means that Su Zikun still has many figurines in his possession.
Ji Heng nodded frantically, "Of course."
The two hit it off immediately, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
"Brother Heng."
"Brother Kun."
"Brother Heng~"
Su Zikun looked troubled. "There's something I'm having trouble saying, and I don't know if I should."
"Tell me, I'll definitely help if I can." Ji Heng unwittingly fell into his trap.
Su Zikun covered his face and cried first.
"Waaaaah... Hengdi... Waaaaah..."
Ji Heng was stunned. "Don't cry, let's talk this out."
Su Zikun cried and wailed, "My sister was kidnapped by human traffickers when she was little. She was so small and thin. Those damned human traffickers! My poor sister was sold to the mountains to be a child bride..."
