Lin Xiao pressed the button for the 23rd floor, and in the blink of an eye, the elevator doors opened again.
A sharp, domineering female voice came from room 2306.
"Ji Ran, you've gone too far! You actually rented a place outside behind my back! Do you have too much money to burn?!"
"You have so much money, why don't you give it to me for safekeeping? What are you thinking with that pig brain of yours!"
Are you dissatisfied with me as your mother? Haven't I cared for you enough?
Lin Xiao frowned, knowing that a tough battle was about to begin.
So I took out my phone and turned on the video recording function.
Knock knock knock—
The door opened again.
She was Ji Jinhe, wearing a deep purple silk dress with a black fitted long coat over it.
He looked very serious.
His lips were downturned, and the anger and coldness on his face had not yet faded.
After recognizing the young man in the elevator, a look of shock and anger flashed in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Ji Jinhe asked coldly.
Lin Xiao glanced through Ji Jinhe at Ji Ran, who was waving for him to come in.
Ji Ran's face was full of helplessness, and her beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.
Clearly, she was no match for the powerful woman in the purple dress standing before her.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Professor Ji's boyfriend."
"As for my name, you can ask Professor Ji if she is willing to share it with you."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao had already walked past Ji Jinhe and gone inside.
He changed into his signature men's slippers.
Ji Jinhe was furious and slammed the front door shut.
The force was so great that the entire 23rd floor shook.
The couple in room 2305 next door exchanged a glance.
A middle-aged woman gossiped, "Is this a prelude to a fight?"
The man said sarcastically, "You rarely run into the woman living next door. She probably just rents a place to meet her lover, and the wife catches her out."
Woman: "I've seen that woman once."
"Last Friday, I went downstairs to throw out the trash, and she suddenly opened the door and came out. I was startled."
She smiled apologetically at me and said, "I'm sorry to have startled you." So we chatted for a bit.
I asked her if she had given birth, and she said no.
"I asked her how many years she had been married and what she did for a living. She was vague and only said that she lived in Xicheng District and only came back to stay for a short time on weekends."
"But to be fair, that woman really had a great presence. It was that aloof, nonchalant air about her that I, as a woman, quite liked."
The man's eyes flickered.
He seemed to be recalling what the woman next door looked like.
He had met her once.
Also last Friday, she wore a red dress and entered the elevator from the underground parking garage.
He had never seen such a beautiful woman before; he didn't even dare to look at her for too long, for fear of defiling her.
Sure enough, beautiful women are always restless.
Meanwhile, inside room 2306.
Lin Xiao and Ji Ran sat together, facing Ji Jinhe.
Lin Xiao kept taking pictures of Ji Jinhe with his phone.
"Turn it off." Ji Jinhe's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
Ji Ran didn't understand why Lin Xiao was slapping her mother's face, but she didn't stop him.
She felt she had lost all face.
From the moment she prostrated herself on the ground and completely submitted to Lin Xiao last time.
At this moment, Lin Xiao and she were sitting together.
She unconsciously wanted to rely on him.
She unconsciously began to see herself as Lin Xiao's girlfriend.
Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "Auntie, I just want to ask you one question: can you speak properly today?"
"Yes, I'll turn it off."
"No, I'll open it."
"I don't want a situation where you suddenly attack someone and I am forced to defend myself and injure you, in which case I'm afraid it would be difficult to explain myself if it ended up at the police station."
Ji Jinhe's lips trembled with anger.
She reached out to slap the phone out of Lin Xiao's hand.
Lin Xiao nimbly dodged, and with his other hand grabbed Ji Jinhe's provocative claw.
"Professor Ji, please take the picture for me." Lin Xiao handed the phone to Ji Ran.
Ji Jinhe reached out her free hand to grab it again.
Lin Xiao wasn't going to tolerate her, and grabbed both of her hands with a snap.
"Let me go! What do you want to do?" Ji Jinhe roared.
Lin Xiao wouldn't let it go, and said with a sly smile, "You're not young anymore. How come you can't understand human language?"
As she spoke, she applied more force, causing Ji Jinhe to wince in pain.
"Let me go! You shameless pretty boy!"
"If you dare touch a single hair on my head, I'll call the police!"
Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously and sneered, "I don't smell bad at all, it's your mouth that hasn't been brushed in fifty years that smells bad!"
"I'll go with you to the police station. My phone is recording everything! I didn't do anything; it was just self-defense."
"Now, this old man who's all age and no brains, can you please calm down and have a proper talk?"
Ji Jinhe struggled desperately, but could not break free.
Lin Xiao was not good at handling family conflicts, but he had once read in a book that a great man had said this:
"A single punch can prevent a hundred more."
If the other party is clearly trying to bully you and has no sense of morality, then you should give up any illusions, take a tough stance from the start, show your claws, and make the other party fear you.
Reason with reasonable people, and compete with unreasonable people.
Use magic to defeat magic.
Lin Xiao didn't know what Professor Ji's family situation was like, but there must be a reason for her morbid personality.
She was so beautiful, elegant, and renowned, and in the prime of her life, yet she was unmarried. It would be impossible to say that her family background was without any problems.
