Once Ji Xinghe got angry, even eight horses couldn't pull him away. So in the end, Butler Feng didn't manage to remove the mask that Ji Xinghe had tightly covered from his second young master's face.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and went out with the stylist, leaving Ji Xinghe alone inside.
But before leaving, his thoughtful gaze paused for a moment on Ji Xinghe's face. The second young master was determined not to take off his mask in front of everyone. Could it be that he had some injury on his face?
Is he wearing a mask all the time because he's afraid that people will look at him strangely?
Housekeeper Feng didn't know if his idea was right, but he was a little worried. If the Second Young Master was like this, he would definitely make the master and his wife unhappy when he returned to the Ji family in the evening.
After Ji Xinghe put on his new clothes, walked out of the club in high spirits and got into the car, the group set out on the journey back to Ji's home.
For ordinary people who haven't seen much of the world, visiting this villa area where the upper class gathers for the first time will definitely make them feel a little uncomfortable, or even feel a sense of inferiority, as if they don't fit in.
The further you go in, the more luxury cars you can see passing by from time to time. Ji Xinghe doesn't have a deep understanding of these, so he can't name many of them.
It’s just that some cars look very expensive just by looking at their appearance.
Ji Xinghe was not pretentious. He walked all the way without having to use his eyes. He looked wherever he wanted. He did not have the awkward feeling that a young man who had strayed into a wealthy family should have.
There was no longing, envy or inferiority in his eyes, only pure curiosity.
When he saw the old butler looking back at him with a smile, he smiled back at Butler Feng and said, "I don't recognize a lot of the cars here, but I really like the greenery here. When I make money in the future, I want to buy a house in a place like this. There should be lots of trees and a garden. Oh, and it would be best if we could dig a small pond in the yard. I can sit there and fish when I have nothing to do."
This was Ji Xinghe’s biggest wish in his previous life, to have a house he liked and a person he liked in the house.
This wish had not been fulfilled before, but Ji Xinghe felt that he could try to realize it in this life.
Butler Feng smiled and nodded, "The Ji family has a greenhouse. When the second young master returns home, he can visit it often."
"Okay." Ji Xinghe did not refute, but nodded with a smile.
Ji Xinghe was dragged out to buy clothes and do styling, but he was still the first one to return from the entire Ji family.
When Ji Xinghe arrived at the Ji family and sat down on the sofa, the Ji couple, as well as the eldest lady and young master mentioned by housekeeper Feng were all nowhere to be seen.
"System, I feel like I'm being targeted. And I have evidence!" Ji Xinghe, who was sitting on the bench, complained to the system.
【……】
The system didn't know how to respond to Ji Xinghe, because his previously calm database had become somewhat strange at this moment. If the system had a deeper understanding of human emotions, it would know that his strangeness at this moment was an emotion.
This emotion is called sorry for doing good things with bad intentions.
Ji Xinghe hadn't noticed anything wrong with the system yet, and he felt completely justified in his grievance.
The reason why Ji Xinghe was so confident was that he did not feel the slightest bit of apology or indebtedness towards the Ji couple or the entire Ji family.
After listening to the system's explanation, Ji Xinghe understood that the reason why he became the second young master of the Ji family was a pure transaction.
Since it's a transaction, you don't owe me anything and I don't owe you anything, so I won't indulge you.
"This is a show of force. Tong'er, look at how your poor host has been bullied. If I were really the second young master of the Ji family, and felt so unappreciated, my heart would probably be broken right now." Ji Xinghe, who was waiting for someone, was bored and complained to the system.
Finally, when it was almost dark, the Ji couple arrived late with their eldest daughter and youngest son.
Ji Shi'an and his wife Zhao Wan were married for business and had three children over the years: the eldest daughter Ji Xin, the second son Ji Chen, and the youngest son Ji Hao.
Unfortunately, the second son was lost when he was four years old. Because Zhao Wan had taken the child out that day, the old man and old lady of the Ji family, who were still alive at the time, were very angry about the child's disappearance. They insisted that Zhao Wan find the child back, and if she couldn't find him, they would force their son to divorce Zhao Wan.
Zhao Wan was driven out on a rainy day and forced to look for her child. She accidentally got into a car accident, suffered heavy bleeding and injuries, and was declared by the doctor to have lost her fertility.
However, the Ji family cannot be without an heir. In addition, the Ji family is not in the right in the matter of Zhao Wan's accident, and they are arguing fiercely with Zhao Wan's family.
In the end, the two families each made a concession. Ji Shian and Zhao Wan would not divorce, and their daughter would be arranged to join the company when she came of age and would receive 3% of the company's shares. However, Zhao Wan had to agree to let Ji Shian's illegitimate son marry into the family.
That is Ji Hao. He is actually not Zhao Wan’s biological son, but the son of Ji Shian’s lover outside.
So the current situation of the Ji family is as follows: Zhao Wan and her family support Ji Xin and want her to take over the power of the Ji family. Ji Shi'an supports Ji Hao. He is a typical male chauvinist who believes that his daughter will get married sooner or later. He is reluctant to give his daughter shares after she comes of age.
At this moment, Ji Xinghe jumped out, which was equivalent to slapping Ji Xin and Ji Hao hard in the face, making both of them feel a strong sense of crisis.
In Ji Xin's opinion, Ji Xinghe, who was found, is a boy and has many advantages over himself.
In Ji Hao's opinion, before Ji Xinghe was lost, he was a legitimate child, much more legitimate than himself.
Because of this, Ji Xin and Ji Hao did something in unison for the first time in more than ten years, that is, to intimidate Ji Xinghe!
The reason why Ji Shian and Zhao Wan left in a hurry without even waiting for a few hours this time was because Ji Xin and Ji Hao, one in the company and the other outside, had caused trouble, forcing Ji Shian and Zhao Wan to deal with it.
Ji Xinghe naturally didn't know that there were so many twists and turns here. After seeing everyone come back, he stood up from the sofa and silently nodded to his nominal parents, siblings and siblings in this life.
After nodding, Ji Xinghe stood there pretending to be a statue.
Just kidding, the man and woman next to the Ji couple had such malice in their eyes directed at him that it was almost overflowing. It would be strange if he didn't notice it.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Finally, it was Ji Shian who spoke up, frowning and saying, "Why are you still wearing a mask?"
Has no one taught this child how to face his elders?
"cold."
"Second brother has a cold? Then I'll ask the kitchen to make some ginger soup for you." Ji Hao, who was standing next to Ji Shi'an, said with concern, but every move he made was showing his dominance to Ji Xinghe.
After saying that, he extended his hand to Ji Xinghe, "Second brother, I'm your younger brother Ji Hao. You can call me Xiao Hao or Ji Hao."
"My name is Ji Xinghe. You can just call me by my name, I don't care." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Ji Xinghe also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ji Hao.
Feeling the touch on his hand, Ji Hao raised his eyebrows and a flash of doubt appeared in his eyes.
The touch of Ji Xinghe's hands was not like the touch of the hands of the people who lived in a small rental house and had a hard life according to his investigation.
Then he looked at his palms and knuckles, which were not calloused at all. They were slender, white and smooth, more beautiful and delicate than the hands of many rich girls he had seen.
Sometimes you can tell what kind of person he is by looking at his hands.
His second brother's hands were so tender, he didn't look like someone who had lived a hard life. It was almost like he had never touched water.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and smiled as he introduced the other members of the family to Ji Xinghe.
Then Ji Xinghe followed Ji Hao's words and shook hands with everyone one by one.
Such a scene would be very suitable for a company banquet or ribbon-cutting ceremony.
After everyone had gotten familiar with each other, Ji Shian said that dinner could begin.
At the dinner table, Ji Shian sat in the main seat, with Zhao Wan sitting on his left and Ji Xin on his right. Originally, Ji Hao sat next to Ji Xin.
This time, Ji Xinghe came in and sat in the middle, and the three of them sat in a row.
"You guys eat, I won't eat now. I'm not used to having people around me when I eat."
As soon as Ji Xinghe said this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
This time, it was Ji Xin who spoke first. She looked at him as if he were an ignorant child. "Second brother, are you still angry about Mom and Dad leaving this afternoon? Mom and Dad are also working at the company and they really can't leave. You should also understand them. We are all very happy that you finally came home."
Ji Xinghe nodded obediently, "Yes, I know."
"But I'm really not used to having people around me while I eat."
Actively admit mistakes but don’t change them.
"You guys also said that I just returned home and we haven't been together for more than ten years. You should also respect my habits. Where is my room? I want to go back to my room to eat."
After saying that, Ji Xinghe stood up on his own, as if he didn't notice Ji Shian's dark expression at all. He looked at Uncle Feng standing next to him and asked, "Where's my room? Did you guys not prepare a room for me?"
Butler Feng glanced at Ji Shian, and seeing that he did not object, he walked over to Ji Xinghe and led the way. "The second young master's room has been reserved. I will take him there."
Ji Xinghe followed behind Butler Feng, going up the stairs briskly. As he went up, he complained to the system, "There are only four of us, plus me, there are only five of us, and yet they are acting like there is a throne to inherit in the family. I really admire them.
My nominal father, when he sat there, looked like the feudal patriarch and everyone had to look at his face. I almost thought that the emperor had jumped out of the earth.
Tong'er, you didn't feel the flashing of swords and sabers at the dinner table just now.
It's really eye-opening and has broadened my horizons. I'll definitely be able to see big things in the future."
Ji Xinghe's little mouth was chattering away, he had a lot of complaints but nowhere to vent them, it was not good to hold it in, so he just chattered to the system.
"System, I initially thought I was given the script for 'Rebirth of the Superstar', but it turned out to be 'System: My Looks Are Beyond the Sky'. Now, I finally realized that I was given 'Those Years, I Was Fighting for the Wealthy Family'!"
The author has something to say: No! Xingxing, what you got is the script: "I became a superstar in a wealthy family, popular among thousands of handsome men, transformed into a playboy, chairman of a company, the white moonlight of powerful old men, the cinnabar mole, and everyone is vying to help me win the family property."
Little Star: Hold on, don't bow your head, or your crown will fall off! Don't cry, or the bad guys will laugh!
System: Hold it in, I feel like laughing.
