When Yang Shushu agreed to go back to Ji's house with Ji Chenru, the smile on Ji Chenru's face became more sincere, but Yang Shushu didn't feel anything. After she finished talking about this, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Chenru: "Qiuqiu, since you have decided to go home with me, move in and live with me tomorrow."
Yang Shushu tilted her head and looked at him. "Mr. Ji, I said I'd go back with you only because you said your father's health was very poor and he wanted to see me. I didn't mean to abandon my parents, did I? These are two completely different things. Let's put it another way. Even if I return to my ancestral home, are you asking me to be ungrateful? Or is this the Ji family motto? Destroy bridges after crossing them?"
Yang Shushu's expression was half-smile, but it was like a knife cutting Ji Chenru's face, almost making him lose his temper on the spot. He endured it again and again and finally suppressed his anger: "How can you talk like that, child? When did I ever make you ungrateful? It's just that we haven't seen each other for many years, and I just want to spend some more time with you."
"Oh, really? That's not necessary. Aren't we going back to Huacheng together in a few days? Then there's plenty of time. I don't have much time to spend with my parents, so I have to go back to be with them."
After she finished speaking, she said goodbye and left without looking back. After she left, Ji Delu came straight down from upstairs. He walked over to sit opposite Ji Chenru and said, "Father, if a cousin like this goes back, will there be problems? It's not easy to control."
Ji Chenru shook his head: "We have to go back then. The old man doesn't have much time left, and Ji Chenli can't bear it any longer. If we go back to Huacheng, our territory, at least we can save lives. But in Jinjing, it's not my territory after all, and the longer the night, the more trouble we will have. As for whether she recognizes us or not, it doesn't really matter. As long as she has the Ji family's blood flowing in her body, the old man will recognize her."
Ji Delu nodded and said nothing. Ji Chenru then said, "After we leave, we will deal with the Yang couple as far away as possible. It would be best if we never let them appear in front of Qiuqiu again."
Ji Delu didn't seem surprised, he just nodded to show that he understood.

Yang Shushu has a preference for her small electric scooter. She usually rides it wherever the electric scooter can reach. However, the battery of the scooter is very ordinary. She forgot to charge it yesterday, and it ran out of power halfway through the journey.
Fortunately, she had already arrived in the city and was about to call Yang Li to pick her up when she saw a group of people running towards her frantically not far ahead.
She was startled, but reacted quickly. She pushed the cart aside. There was a big trash can behind her, so she could only stick close to the trash can to make way for the group of people.
But when the person in front of her got closer and closer, she was startled. The person was getting closer and closer, and the moment he saw her, he widened his eyes. But before the two of them could communicate, the person had already run past her. Yang Shushu watched a large group of girls behind her flying past like bees chasing flowers. It seemed that only a few seconds had passed, and the situation in front of her returned to its original state.
She grabbed the handlebars with one hand and wiped the sweat off her face with the other: "Oh my god, the fans are really scary. Fortunately, I'm a fake fan."
She was about to leave when a voice suddenly popped up from behind her: "So you've been deceiving me all along?"
In fact, the resentful voice was indescribably familiar. Yang Shushu turned around in surprise and saw Zuo Jinheng standing behind a large trash can, looking at her with a wronged expression. He looked a bit like a resentful woman who was abandoned by her husband.
Ever since they experienced the kidnapping together last time and Zuo Jinheng performed a freak face-changing show in front of her, Yang Shushu has worshipped his acting skills to the point of worshipping them as gods.
Since he has been regarded as a god of acting, no matter what expression or look he shows, except for his original self, it is all his acting fault.
Zuo Jinheng never knew that his superb acting skills would sometimes hold him back.
He came around from the trash can and said, "I just asked you for help, didn't you see it?"
Yang Shushu blinked innocently: "I want to save you, but do you think I can be a match for so many people?"
"I forgot, you're a fake fan. Fake ones are no match for real ones."
Yang Shushu: "..." Are you making a fuss about it?
"Don't say that. You already said we're friends now. Calling me a fan is so awkward." She bumped him with the front wheel of the car. He didn't dodge, and the wheel marks were immediately stuck on his light-colored jeans. "That's perfect. Take me home."
As he spoke, he walked around to the back seat of her car, smiling and looking a bit like a rogue.
Yang Shushu spread her hands with a look of regret: "My car battery is dead. I just stopped here and wanted to call my brother to pick me up."
Zuo Jinheng changed his tone very quickly: "Then I'll take you there. My car is in front."
Yang Shushu didn't hesitate and turned the car around to follow him, but he added, "But I haven't had lunch yet. Let's have lunch nearby."
"Okay, I didn't eat either."
………………
The two found a restaurant nearby. Due to Zuo Jinheng's special status, they requested a private room. When ordering, Yang Shushu was not polite. However, Zuo Jinheng was surprised by her appetite: "You can eat so much?"
"What? You don't want to treat me? No problem, I'll treat you." She smiled.
"Haha, I can afford to feed you for the rest of your life. I'm just curious, how can you eat so much when you're so skinny? How do you manage it all?"
"Being fat or thin has little to do with what you can eat or not. Some people gain weight even if they drink cold water, while others can't gain weight no matter how much they eat." Yang Shushu raised her eyebrows and had a smug look in her eyes while speaking. She looked perfect. Zuo Jinheng looked at her for a while, then quickly lowered his head, muttered something in his heart, and then looked at her again.
Yang Shushu was also looking at him with a serious look. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking her, "What's wrong?"
"Zuo Jinheng, there is something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Influenced by her seriousness, Zuo Jinheng unconsciously put away his smile.
Yang Shushu: "Have you known about the feud between Mu Shicang and the Ji family for a long time? When you told me the cause of his parents' death that day, was there something you didn't say?"
Zuo Jinheng was stunned. He had never been so panicked in his life. He lowered his eyes to look at his hands and turned his face to the right, as if avoiding her sight.
"I just want to know what you know. Can you tell me?" Yang Shushu looked at him with a calm tone, without the emotions that Zuo Jinheng thought. She seemed to really just want to know the truth.
"Shushu, you don't have to think too much. I know Mu Shicang. No matter what the grudge between him and the Ji family is, he should be sincere to you."
Yang Shushu shook her head: "I want to know what happened to the Ji family back then. Since you have investigated it, you should know a lot. As for whether he is sincere to me..." She didn't say anything else.
