"What's wrong?" Ning Beiyao asked, puzzled.
Shang Xian took a deep breath: "You ruined my entire plan."
What exactly are you doing?
Chu Xichen and Tang Dongyu sensed something was amiss and exchanged a glance; this didn't sound like a harmonious relationship...
"Don't get involved in this, understand?"
Ning Beiyao didn't ask any more questions, thinking he should wait until she returned before saying, "Okay, I understand."
"Okay, goodbye." Just as Shang Xian was about to hang up, she heard Ning Beiyao say, "When should I pick you up?"
"No need, I'll come back on my own." Avoiding contact with Ning Beiyao is a way to avoid causing him trouble, even though he's already involved.
Ning Beiyao was displeased by this: "Where are you?"
"My brother's here."
Okay, got it.
After Shang Xian hung up the phone, Ning Beiyao felt something was off, holding the phone, unsure of where it was...
"So you two have made up?" Tang Dongyu asked.
"Have we ever argued?" Ning Beiyao looked at Tang Dongyu in surprise. Had we? No, I don't think so.
"Your way of getting along is so confusing," Chu Xichen clicked his tongue twice.
"It seems that the brother and sister are going to oppose the Ji family." Ning Beiyao had no idea what was going on inside the Ji family. It seemed he would have to ask them tonight.

Seeing the number on the screen remain stuck at the price Ning Beiyao offered, Shang Xian had a headache.
Three minutes later, the Ji family finally raised their price, and Shang Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this price acceptable?" Shang Xian asked Ji Li.
Ji Li glanced at the screen: "This is enough to give Ji Shifei a headache for a while." The Ji Group is not doing well now, especially after he overpowered the Ji Group.
"Within a week, the entire Ji family must be completely dismantled." When Shang Xian was focused on his work, he resembled Li Ci's attitude: ruthlessness towards the enemy was all that mattered.
The doorbell rang, and everyone thought it was Gong Ou. Ji Li went to open the door, but saw Ning Beiyao instead.
Ji Li had an impulse to just slam the door shut...
But I had to hold back and wait for him to come in before closing the door.
Shang Xian looked up and saw that it was Ning Beiyao.
“I saw Gong Ou on my way here,” Ning Beiyao said, sitting next to Shang Xian and turning his head to look at her profile.
Ji Li poured Ning Beiyao a cup of hot water and placed it on the table.
Ning Beiyao smiled politely and said, "Thank you."
He said he would come, but it's been so long and I still haven't seen him.
"I know," Ning Beiyao said. Shang Xian and Ji Li both looked at him. Did he know?
Um?
“He said the routes in Luocheng have changed too much this year, and asked me how I got here,” Ning Beiyao said with a slight smile.
"So where is he?" Ji Li sensed something was wrong.
"Here's the thing, I gave him directions in the opposite direction, so he won't be able to come back anytime soon." Ning Beiyao didn't know why he did this, but he felt uncomfortable because he also came to find Ji Yi, so he told him to go in the opposite direction.
Shang Xian was silent for a while before asking, "What if he doesn't come back by tonight? What if he's been eaten by wolves...?"
"It can't be that bad," Ji Li said, and then Gong Ou called him.
Ji Li kept the hands-free speakerphone on and heard a voice on the other end: "Brother, brother, brother, help me! Where am I? My car is out of gas! I'm crying!"
Shang Xian leaned closer and asked, "You don't have any wolves over there, do you?"
"Wolves?" Gong Ou smacked his lips. "Baby, what are you dreaming about! What era are we living in? You can't still see wolves these days?"
baby……
Ning Beiyao only heard these two words.
