Ji Zheng stared at him expressionlessly.
Dude, you're dead meat!
Ji Heng wasn't afraid at all, and spoke without thinking, "I think Chu Ling is pretty good. He's handsome, has a great figure, and is loyal to the Ji family. Why don't you consider him?"
Ji Zheng's gaze was icy; she desperately wanted to kill this younger brother.
Chu Ling was terrified when he heard these words. "No, young master, I'm just a bodyguard. I have absolutely no improper thoughts about Miss. Please don't joke with me."
Ji Zheng warned, "Ji Heng, shut your mouth."
Ji Heng sensed his older sister's anger and quickly apologized, "Sis, Chu Ling, I'm sorry."
For a moment, it was extremely awkward.
Grandpa Ji spoke up, "Xiao Zheng, go and take a look ahead."
“Okay, Grandpa.” Ji Zheng glared at Ji Heng and pushed open the door to leave.
Chu Ling followed closely behind her.
After the two left, Old Master Ji tapped the table, "Ji Heng, you went too far just now!"
Ji Heng apologized sincerely, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong."
Grandpa Ji grabbed his ear and said, "You should be more sensible now. Your sister is very busy at the company every day. You should study hard and help your sister more."
Fu Jingyao added casually, "He failed English last semester."
Old Master Ji twisted his hand back and said, "Ji Heng, your allowance for this month is gone!"
Ji Heng covered his ears and silently shed tears.
This guy is ruthless.
I'm so upset, I'm going to be broke this month.
Grandpa Ji waved his hand, "Go help your sister up front, you're just a nuisance."
"Okay." Ji Heng pouted, opened the door and ran out.
Grandpa Ji laughed awkwardly, "I'm sorry, you've all had to see this."
Lin Xi shook her head, "Grandpa Ji, it's alright."
"Haha, you guys are so sensible." Old Master Ji took out a red envelope. "I didn't prepare a gift for our meeting, so please accept this red envelope. Don't look down on this old man."
Lin Xi turned her head to look at the person next to her. Fu Jingyao took the red envelope and stuffed it into her hand. "Thank you, Grandpa Ji."
Grandpa Ji looked at the couple with great joy, even more so than when he got married himself.
"Jingyao, let me tell you, married people..."
Grandpa Ji was in high spirits, holding Fu Jingyao's hand and talking non-stop.
Fu Xinya tugged at Lin Xi, "Master Lin, my father-in-law hasn't been this happy in a long time. Let me take you for a walk in the front hall."
Lin Xi quickly slipped away.
The Ji family villa has five floors, with a front yard full of precious flowers and plants, and a very large swimming pool in the backyard.
There were many delicious dishes laid out in the front hall, and Lin Xi instantly perked up. She took a plate, picked up a little of each dish, and found a corner to start eating.
Fu Xinya got her another plate of food. "Master Lin, please let me know if you need anything."
Lin Xi looked up at her. "No need to call me Master Lin, just call me by my name."
Fu Xinya is Fu Jingyao's aunt, and it feels strange that he always calls her Master Lin.
She called softly, "Auntie."
Fu Xinya was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Hey, Auntie will go get you some drinks."
"Okay, go ahead."
Lin Xi likes to cook alone in a corner.
She scooped a small piece of cake into her mouth, and a figure stopped in front of her.
"Master Lin, it's been a long time."
Lin Xi looked up and saw He Ting.
He Ting asked with a smile, "Master Lin, where is Fu Jingyao?"
Lin Xi hates being disturbed while eating, so she casually said, "Stay away from me, you're blocking the light."
He Ting's smile froze; it seemed that Master Lin didn't like him.
Having made a fool of himself, he walked away.
Sigh, I've been disliked again.
Lin Xi quietly ate a couple of bites, and then two more people stood in front of her.
Su Zikun waved with a grin, "Master Lin, it's been a long time."
Lin Xi glanced at him indifferently, "Did you need something?"
"I'm fine, he's in trouble." Su Zikun gestured to his ancestor beside him with his eyes.
Ask your questions quickly, then get lost.
This little devil was searching for someone all over the place; his legs were practically about to break.
Jiang Ji lowered his head and remained silent, his fingers trembling slightly.
Su Zikun slapped him, "Say something! Are you having a Parkinson's attack? Why are you shaking like that?"
Jiang Ji glared at him, "Shut up!"
Su Zikun put his hands on his hips and said, "All you ever do is tell me to shut up, but you never speak up when it really matters. Well then, I'll ask for you."
"Master Lin, Jiang Ji wants to ask, why did you get married so early? Who is that man? Is he good to you? If not, have you considered divorce...?"
"Ouch, why are you pinching me?"
Su Zikun had a large bruise on his arm, and he complained frantically, "Jiang Ji, you're so ruthless. I kindly offered to be your mouth sitter, and not only did you not appreciate it, you even pinched me."
"Aww...I'm so sad..."
Lin Xi watched the show from the sidelines and ate a few more bites of the small cake.
This agent's acting skills are good enough to make her a star.
It's amazing that Jiang Ji didn't go crazy under his command.
Wait, what did Su Zikun just say?!
Jiang Ji was concerned about whether she was married or divorced!
He and she are siblings!
Lin Xi put down her spoon, looking horrified. "Jiang Ji, this is my private matter. Do you really want to ask these questions?"
Jiang Ji's eyelids twitched. "No, it's not."
At this moment, he was extremely embarrassed. Su Zikun, that scoundrel, had ruined him.
Jiang Ji suppressed his anger. "Master Lin, I apologize on behalf of Su Zikun. I absolutely had no intention of inquiring about your private affairs."
Lin Xi was relieved. "What do you want to ask?"
Jiang Ji took a deep breath. "Master Lin, you said last time that my sister is still alive. Can you tell me where she is now?"
Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat. "You and your sister were separated when you were young. Why are you looking for her?"
