Chapter 20 Transmigrated as the Father of the Real and Fake Heiresses
The people who attended Mr. Ji's gatherings were all prominent figures.
Ji Nanzhi was chatting with the Ji family sisters in the banquet hall, while Chen Xi stood nearby.
Ji Lin's expression wasn't very good when he got out of the car. He had been pestered by Li Tian yesterday and had agreed to bring her to the banquet.
Li Tian got out of the car, wearing a crimson dress, and took Ji Lin's arm.
"Brother, are you unhappy that I came with you?"
Ji Lin felt a backache when she thought about the family punishments she had received in the past: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I'm afraid my dad will use family punishments on me again."
Li Tian didn't believe her, raising her chin with a not-so-good expression: "Brother, are you afraid that our affair will be exposed?"
"Are you going to keep me hidden from the light of day forever?"
Or do you want me to remain your mistress in secret forever?
Li Tian didn't ask that question aloud.
She used to be his most beloved younger sister, but now... she stayed by his side without even a proper title.
Ji Lin frowned: "What do you mean by 'shameful'? It just means that we need to get Dad to accept our change in status first."
“You are still young. The Ji family just had a scandal involving a real and a fake heiress. At least for the next few years, our relationship cannot be exposed, otherwise it will cause controversy.”
Li Tian remained silent upon hearing his words.
He just tightened his grip on the gift box.
Ji Lin regretted it as soon as he stepped into the banquet hall. The surrounding eyes were full of surprise, as if they did not expect that the Ji family's young lady from before would also come today.
They all thought she was no longer with the Ji family.
Unexpectedly, the young master of the Ji family still brought her along.
"Nanzhi, my cousin Jilin, he..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Nanzhi turned around and found Li Tian standing next to him.
The other person happened to look over as well, and gave Ji Nanzhi a provocative smile, as if to say: See, I'm back now, aren't I?
“How could my cousin Ji Lin be so inconsiderate? He should have come with you, but instead he brought others.” Another sister of the Ji family frowned. “He has really forgotten the rules of our Ji family.”
"That's right. No matter what conflicts we have internally, we can't let outsiders see it."
The girl said to Ji Nanzhi, "If he brings Li Tian here so openly, people will know that you and Ji Lin don't get along."
Ji Nanzhi turned around with a cold expression: "It's nothing, they're probably here to wish Grandpa a happy birthday."
"He and I, whether in the past or in the future, are always adversaries."
The group exchanged glances: "It's fine if you think that way."
"Based on the 5% share that Grandpa gave you when you came back, you won't need to worry about Ji Lin's feelings anymore."
Everyone's expressions were envious, but no one showed jealousy or malice.
Nan Zhi smiled but didn't say anything.
Ji Lin is the eldest grandson of the Ji family.
He was busy with the banquet today, so he was called away as soon as he arrived.
So I told Li Tian and then went to get busy.
After he left, Li Tian casually grabbed a glass of champagne and walked over to Ji Nanzhi's side. It had been so long since they last met, and Li Tian had changed quite a bit.
The mature crimson dress looked perfectly natural on her.
"Nanzhi, it's been a long time. This is the first time I've seen you since I left the Ji family, isn't it?" Li Tian naturally raised her wine glass to greet Ji Nanzhi.
All eyes turned to them.
He seemed to be wondering what it would be like if the two of them were face to face.
Ji Nanzhi smiled slightly, looking at her without raising her wine glass.
"Why do you want to see me? I don't think we need to catch up."
Li Tian didn't mind and put her wine glass away indifferently: "How could that be? We'll be spending a lot of time together in the future."
"So it's only right to have some time to get used to each other beforehand."
Ji Lan, from the second branch of the Ji family, was speechless: "What are you pretending for? How many people from the Ji family have you seen since you left? I haven't heard that your second uncle is going to bring you back."
"Did your cousin make you something that you took seriously?"
Li Tian raised her chin: "This is a matter for our main branch of the family, what do you know?"
Ji Nanzhi leisurely swirled her wine glass: "Why wouldn't you know that Sister Ji Lan is a member of our Ji family? You're the only outsider here."
Therefore, you need to understand your own identity.
Li Tian stared at Ji Nanzhi, not expecting her to have changed so much.
That country bumpkin has turned into a real heiress; the Ji family really knows how to raise children.
"Who's an outsider isn't certain yet." Li Tian looked in the direction of Grandpa Ji: "Maybe after tonight I'll go back to the Ji family. Nanzhi, don't throw a tantrum then."
After saying that, she glanced at Ji Nanzhi, lifted her skirt, and walked over.
Ji Nanzhi frowned, wondering what had gotten into her.
Ji Lan couldn't help but complain to her friends, "She's still so pretentious. What is she pretending to be?"
"Who knows? Maybe Ji Lin said something to her, but she just called Nan Zhi 'little sister,' really..."
"She didn't understand her place and acted like the older sister."
Ji Nanzhi was a bit strange.
I have no idea what she's up to.
Ji Nanzhi glanced at Chen Xi.
After Chen Xi came over, Ji Nanzhi put down her wine glass and said, "Li Tian is here. I feel like she's acting strangely. Go tell Dad to be careful that she doesn't cause trouble at the banquet."
Chen Xi nodded and left in her high heels.
When Ji Lin arrived, he saw Li Tian walking towards her father and grandfather, so he quickly came over and pulled her away.
"What are you doing? Can't you see they're talking about serious business?"
Li Tian raised her head: "I also want to get down to business."
Ji Lin saw the gift box in her hand and smoothed the hair on her forehead: "Stop fooling around. If you want to give a gift, go later."
"So many people are talking about serious matters right now."
Li Tian softened her voice after he coaxed her: "Okay, I just felt that I should take this gift out in a crowded place."
After all, this would be more effective in getting back to the Ji family, and it would also allow him to see Ji Huaizhi's astonished expression.
"But since you've said that, I'll take it later."
Ji Lin was in a good mood because she was obedient: "I have to go to a social event later, so be good by yourself."
"If anyone bullies you later, come find me."
Ji Lin was still very tolerant of her. To him, Tian Tian was raised by her, and now that her status had changed, it wouldn't be bad for her to become his 'child bride'.
She can return to the Ji family, killing two birds with one stone.
However, she is still too young, and the matter of the real and fake heiresses of the Ji family has not been that long ago.
He doesn't want the outside world to know yet.
Li Tian lifted her eyelids: "Besides Ji Nanzhi, who else has bullied me?"
"It will be better from now on."
Li Tian thought about it and realized it was true.
From now on, she will be Ji Nanzhi's sister-in-law, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother.
After Ji Lin takes over the Ji family business, he can just find someone to marry her off.
Even Ji Huaizhi couldn't stop it.
The two flirted and teased each other in the corner for a while, and from a distance, they looked like they were just having a normal conversation.
After they left, Ji Nanzhi emerged from behind a pillar, her expression clearly shocked.
Were they just being too affectionate?
The banquet had been going on for a while, and Mr. Ji was surrounded by people.
Li Tian couldn't even find an opportunity to get closer.
While they were waiting for an opportunity, several people walked by, including Guan Manyue and her little follower.
These girls all didn't get along with Li Tian.
Previously, due to the disparity in their family backgrounds, he had suffered a lot of losses and grievances at Li Tian's hands.
Especially since Li Tian complained about the incident involving the young girls, they were both put in solitary confinement and punished.
