Chapter 69 I plan to have feelings for her
This was an interesting night. Everyone in the room pretended to be deaf and dumb for various reasons that could and could not be said. They even pretended to be deaf and dumb together, giving Song Jin the opportunity to escape.
The only two honest people were Lao Lu and Bai Yuanhuai, who were kept in the dark. Even Ji Shubai could not escape and took the lead in telling lies.
All the way he was wondering how things had developed to this point.
How did he get involved with Song Jin?
When did he start to have feelings for Song Jin?
Wasn't it her who had been deceiving and harming him all along?
How many lies did this woman tell?
How did he become so skilled at lying?
......
Unfortunately, even he, a Jinshi, couldn't come up with an answer.
Then he thought of Lu Junnian who followed him. Given his personality, he would definitely ask more questions. Even if he didn't want to answer, he had just helped him. How could he stop him from talking?
Oh, my headache is so severe.
The sedan chair entered the Ji family's house. The doorman, Old Man Liu, was a little overwhelmed when he saw so many people coming.
"My young master, what is this?"
"Arrange a servant's room for them. Master Lu will leave immediately."
"Hey, wait, why are you chasing me away? I won't leave. I want to rest for a while."
Ji Shu's white hair hurt even more.
"Then this one..."
Old Man Liu knew Song Jin. He used to have a small courtyard all to himself, but now it's being used as a servant's room. Isn't that inappropriate?
Ji Shubai turned around and glanced at Song Jin. Song Jin noticed it and immediately gave him a chuckle.
"Same."
Ji Shubai's face was not very good, but Song Jin didn't bother to care. Anywhere is a place to live in, just make sure it's not a firewood room.
Song Jin arranged for everyone to follow Mother Chen to clean up the house and prepare to move in. He then ran to the kitchen to boil water and prepare to wash up.
Seeing how familiar she was with the place, several people became more suspicious of her relationship with Ji Shubai. However, Song Jin knew nothing about these speculations, and only knew that she was about to be freed from her citizenship.
Song Jin was busy for a while, and A Rong, together with two waiters and maids such as Du Juan, came to the kitchen to help. They worked all night and had no time to eat, so they simply chatted while making food.
On the other side, Ji Shubai got off the sedan chair, said something to Mother Chen, and went straight inside, with Lu Junnian chasing after him.
"Brother Shu Bai, Brother Shu Bai? Please wait for me."
Ji Shubai walked faster.
"Brother Shu Bai, I heard that she has been staying at your house these days. Are you two going to get married? Are you going to get married and..."
Before Lu Junnian finished speaking, Ji Shubai glared at him, but Lu Junnian was not as afraid of him as Song Jin was, especially tonight.
"Brother Shu Bai, why do you have to do this? Getting married is a good thing, but... it's just that your social status is a little low, hehe..."
Ji Shubai turned around and left, and Lu Junnian quickly followed him: "Hey, Brother Shubai, we have known each other for such a long time, but I never realized that this true gentleman would also fall at the feet of a woman..."
"When did I say I wanted to marry her?" Ji Shubai was so annoyed by the noise.
"That just now..."
"You ask her!"
Ji Shubai continued to walk towards the study room in a bad mood, and Lu Junnian followed.
"Brother Shu Bai, if you say so, then I won't be polite."
"What do you mean?"
Ji Shubai sat down at the desk and threw the red deeds on the table. Lu Junnian also sat opposite him as if he had returned home.
"Look, this little girl has gone through so much trouble. Why?"
Ji Shubai didn't think twice: "Of course it's to get rid of citizenship."
"That's right. If you want to get rid of your citizenship, then who has the red deed now?"
Ji Shubai glanced at the table and suddenly realized: "What are you going to do?"
"What should I do?" Lu Junnian snorted coldly, "Today I helped her to get the red deed for her at your request, but I have not forgotten the hatred for poisoning her. If you have feelings for me, that's fine, but if you don't, then I will not let her off easily."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
"What can I do? I can teach her to be a good person."
"Don't do anything reckless, or you'll scare people."
"Are you distressed?"
Lu Junnian's face was filled with a smirk, but Ji Shubai's cheeks turned red with anger: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Then it's Wuxin. This red deed belongs to me." After saying that, he didn't care about Ji Shubai and reached out to grab the stack of red deeds on the table.
"Brother Lu, what are you doing? I promised to give it to her."
Ji Shubai reached out to grab it, but he was no match for Lu Junnian.
"You agreed, but I didn't. You asked her to come to me."
"So many people followed me here, how can I explain it to you? How can I let her explain it to you?"
"Are you feeling bad?"
"Aren't you kidding me?"
Lu Junnian refused: "I seized the red deed and that's nonsense, but what's the big deal if she poisoned me?"
Ji Shubai couldn't win the argument, he couldn't win the argument with anyone else.
"Brother Lu..." The tone was almost pleading.
Seeing that Ji Shubai was in a difficult situation, Lu Junnian finally softened his heart and decided to let him go: "How about this, I will deduct one from her, and you can use someone else's red deed to get through. This shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"Brother Lu..."
"What's her name?"
Ji Shubai and he remained in a stalemate without saying a word. Just then Qingshan came in to serve tea, so Lu Junnian asked, "Where are they?"
"They are cooking some food in the kitchen and will rest soon."
"Huh!" Lu Junnian looked at Ji Shubai: "You treat this place as your own home."
Ji Shubai was speechless, but Qingshan spoke up: "Miss Lu has lived in my house for quite a while, she is very familiar with me."
"Miss Lu?"
Lu Junnian succeeded unexpectedly and had a sly smile on his face. Ji Shubai had no choice but to give up. Lu Junnian flipped through the stack of red deeds with pride.
Among the red deeds, only Song Jin's Lu Mancao and Lao Lu's Lu were surnamed Lu. He took out the one with Lu Mancao and returned the rest to Ji Shubai.
"If she wants to be denaturalized, ask her to come to me, or you two..."
"What are you talking about?"
"No, no, I'm going back today." After saying that, he added with a sly smile: "Remember, tell her to come find me."
Ji Shubai sighed, Qingshan was puzzled: "What happened?"
Ji Shubai didn't answer, but just said, "I'll go take a look in the kitchen."
Song Jin had already cooked food for everyone. They didn't care much about the food, so they pulled a table in the kitchen, put some simple food on it, and started eating happily.
Mother Chen is an elder in the Ji family. Although the yard is big, it is very empty. It is rare to see such a lively scene at this moment. She happily brought out a jar of wine hidden by her old man, and everyone ate and talked.
"Mancao, where are we going after we get rid of our citizenship?" A Rong asked after drinking a glass of wine.
"I've thought about it a long time ago. I have money. It's not enough to buy land, but I can rent a storefront to do business."
"When we get out, we'll rent a big yard so we can live there together. We'll set up a shop in the front and live in the back, just like before. We'll sell food."
"Shidinglou will not recover in a short time, and there are some dishes that only I can cook. Let's take over the old customers first, and then slowly expand it."
"I think it's possible," said Lai Fu, the waiter. "We have the staff ready, and some of the customers are familiar to us. All we need is a storefront."
"Then we have to call you the shopkeeper again, Shopkeeper Lu, please remember to hire us."
As A Rong was talking, Lai Fu had already raised his glass: "Come on, come on, let's congratulate Shopkeeper Lu together."
Everyone raised their glasses excitedly: "Long live!"
Ji Shubai stood outside the kitchen and heard the conversation inside clearly, but he didn't dare to go in.
How should I tell her that the red deed was confiscated by Lu Junnian?
After thinking it over again and again, Ji Shubai decided to keep it a secret for the time being and give it to her after he got the red deed back.
"Young master, why are you in the kitchen? It's dirty here. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll ask the old woman to prepare it and send it to you."
When Menzi saw Lu Junnian leave, he also wanted to join in the fun, but he met Ji Shubai at the kitchen door and thought he was hungry.
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, but he startled Song Jin who was inside. At this moment, he had already dropped his cup and chopsticks and came out to look for them.
"Master Ji?" She was a little happy: "Thank you Master Ji today."
Ji Shubai lowered his head, feeling inexplicably ashamed: "It's not a big deal."
"Lord Lu has suffered today, I wonder if I should go and make amends..."
"No need," Ji Shubai hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Lu is busy with his work, so don't bother him. I will tell him for you."
"Oh," Song Jin didn't know what was going on here, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
"Today, I only took the red deed. Once the documents for deregistration are completed, the Bai family will send someone to deliver them. I will ask Qingshan to tell you then. Remember to take everyone to the government office to change the yellow book of household registration."
"Well, would you like to come in and have a drink, sir? Everyone wants to thank you, sir."
"No, you guys eat, I'm sleepy."
Song Jin smiled and did not try to persuade them to stay. He just made a request: "Everyone came out in a hurry today and did not pack their boxes. Everyone is afraid that they will be troubled when they return, so..."
"I will send someone from the government office to accompany you back to Shidinglou to get your things tomorrow."
"Thank you, sir."
Ji Shubai smiled bitterly, said goodbye and went back.
He slept very poorly that night, so he got up in a hurry as soon as it was light. He wanted to go back to the government office to find Lu Junnian and get back Song Jin's red deed.
It was rare for Ji Shubai to argue with someone.
"Brother Lu, just give it to me. If you are still angry, I will treat you to three more meals, okay?"
"No! I'm just angry. Whatever tricks she used, give me a chin bean. Do you know how many times I got up last night?"
"Brother Lu, she didn't mean it..."
"She did it on purpose, and I suspect you did it on purpose too. You are not usually very generous, so why did you give me that bowl of snacks yesterday? Did you know about it a long time ago?"
Ji Shubai sighed, and Lu Junnian became more certain when he saw it.
"You know?"
"What do I know? I only know..." Ji Shubai was stuck there for a moment. He knew that something was going to happen, but he was not sure what exactly it would be.
"Know what? What do you say you know? You know she will hurt you, right? You know there will be problems with the food, right? You two were so calm yesterday, you must have discussed it long ago. I, an honest man, was your thug for the whole night. I am so angry."
Lu Junnian unilaterally confirmed Ji Shubai's crime and became even angrier, but this was not what Ji Shubai was worried about.
No matter how angry Lu Junnian is, he can only be embarrassed at most. But if Song Jin thinks there is no hope of getting rid of his status, he will do anything. Once the two of them confront each other, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Yes, I have feelings for her."
