Chapter 6 Small Punishment
When the photo was placed flat on the desk, it revealed a photo of the Xu family of five, each of whom had a bright smile.
"I did what I should do." Ji Jinhe picked a place, patted the non-existent dust and sat down.
He happened to be standing right in front of Xu's father, so he could see Xu Zhenqu's frown very clearly.
"It's been so long since you came back. You should let go of the things in the past and adapt to the new environment." Xu Zhenqu rested his elbows on the table and looked at Ji Jinhe sharply.
What an old fox, Ji Jinhe thought.
The words were so obvious. First, he asked her to change her surname again, and second, he hinted that she was not adapted to the identity of Miss Xu.
Combined with what was said before, it was a warning to her.
"You know, my adoptive parents are very good to me." Ji Jinhe, adhering to her good upbringing, listened carefully to Xu Zhenqu's words and spoke politely.
Her parents taught her to be polite to her elders since she was young.
"Now that you're back at the Xu family, you have to follow their rules. No matter how good things were, they are a thing of the past." Xu Zhenqu was very angry. She mentioned the good things about her adoptive parents in front of her biological parents. Did she feel that the Xu family owed her something?
Xu Zhenqu thought he was good to Ji Jinhe. She had everything that Jinxi had, and even her marriage with the Gu family was hers.
It is difficult for others to marry into the Gu family, but she can marry into them directly and become a respected wealthy wife.
Ji Jinhe glanced at Xu Zhenqu's expression and knew what he was thinking. She sneered and said, "You mean I followed your instructions and called Xu Jinxi and I twins in front of outsiders?"
After a pause, he continued, "Or will I also have the share that Madam Xu secretly provides to Xu Jinxi every month?"
Although Xu Zhenqu gave her the same treatment as Xu Jinxi on the surface, Ying Wanshu secretly supplied Xu Jinxi with clothes and jewelry, and Xu Jinxi did not hide the fact that they had a son.
Whenever Xu Jinxi received something, he would show it off intentionally or unintentionally.
Although she didn't lack those things, it was annoying.
Xu Zhenqu didn't expect that while he was acting so well in front of others, Ying Wanshu was tripping him up behind his back.
It would have been fine if Ji Jinhe didn't know, but she knew it clearly, and Xu Zhenqu was so angry that his face turned red.
Xu Zhenqu didn't dare to bring up anything else, so he just said, "Go change your surname back tomorrow, and I'll take you to the Su family's banquet tonight."
Ji Jinhe looked at him strangely. Is the Xu family's surname so noble?
"I won't go to the party with you. Don't come to me for such a small matter next time." Ji Jinhe stood up, waved back and left.
She didn't care even though she heard Xu Zhenqu's angry shouts behind her.
Walking to the first floor, Ji Jinhe ignored the accusations from the other four people behind him and quickly opened the door to go out.
As soon as the door closed, he raised two middle fingers towards the door, turned around and left in the car.
Ji Jinhe thought she had been very restrained in the Xu family. If she was not useful in the Xu family, she would have walked away eight hundred years ago.
"Go to the Su family." Ji Jinhe instructed the driver. After she arrived at the Xu family, the driver did not leave and kept waiting outside.
Thinking of what the Xu family might really do, Ji Jinhe's eyes darkened.
Although he was her biological father, she, an unfavored daughter who had just been found a year ago, had no family ties with them.
Since he actually looked down on her so much and let her get the upper hand, don't blame her for getting rid of this evil for the people.
The scenery outside the window flew by and the sky became a little dark. The air conditioner was on in the car, isolating the heat outside. It was so comfortable that Ji Jinhe felt a little drowsy.
The car finally stopped in front of a villa. When Ji Jinhe got out of the car, he asked the driver to go home.
The Su family lives next to the Qi family, so they can go back and live there after the banquet.
At this time, the Su family was still busy preparing for the banquet. When Mrs. Su saw Ji Jinhe, she immediately came out to greet him.
"Xiao He!" Madam Su took Ji Jin He's hand and looked left and right, her eyes full of heartache, "Why have you lost so much weight?"
The Su family and the Qi family are neighbors, so the relationship between the two generations is good. Mrs. Su has watched Ji Jinhe grow up since he was a child.
Since the death of the Qi couple, Qi Xiuxu was busy learning how to manage the company, so Mrs. Su brought fourteen-year-old Ji Jinhe to live with the Su family for a year.
A year later, after Qi Xiuxu officially took over the company, he finally had time to take care of Ji Jinhe, so he took Ji Jinhe back and brought her with him personally.
Madam Su pulled Ji Jinhe into the house, muttering as she walked, "I've prepared a dress for you and Su You. Try it on and show it to me later..."
"Aunt, I won't show up..." Ji Jinhe said embarrassedly.
"You can dress beautifully even without showing up. You little girl, you are still shy even though you have grown up!" Mrs. Su tapped Ji Jinhe's forehead.
Ji Jinhe smiled and didn't explain anything.
"Go in and try it on to see if you like it. Tell your aunt what style you like and I'll prepare it for you next time." Mrs. Su pushed Ji Jinhe into the room and did not forget to remind her as she turned around.
…
As night fell, countless luxury cars drove slowly in from afar, and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies entered the banquet hall together.
In the small living room on the second floor, Ji Jinhe was wearing a white evening dress with her shoulders half exposed, and transparent crystal high heels on her slender and straight legs.
Mrs. Su has recently become very fond of this kind of dress that looks like little white flowers. It makes her look a bit pitiful when she wears it.
The peach blossom eyes drawn by the makeup artist are more vivid, and they look at you without blinking as if they are acting coquettishly.
Su You's dress was a one-shoulder white long gown. Her usually boisterous personality now looked much gentler. At this moment, she was covering her chest, pretending to be shot by Cupid.
"Ah! Stop looking! I'm almost fascinated by you~"
Ji Jinhe smiled and pushed away Su You's approaching face, pointing to the one-way glass not far away, "Everyone is almost here."
Standing in front of the one-way glass, you can overlook the entire banquet hall. When Su You was a child, he often stood here and told Ji Jinhe gossip in the circle.
"Xu Jinxi is here, right?" Su You leaned forward to the glass and looked down, scanning the people in the hall one by one.
The servant brought fruit snacks. Ji Jinhe casually picked up a cherry and put it in his mouth, mumbling, "Don't go too far."
Su You walked back to Ji Jinhe in two or three steps and said, "She provokes you again and again. I can't stand it!"
Ji Jinhe waved her hand, indicating that she could do whatever she wanted. She knew Su You's temper well. As long as Xu Jinxi didn't do anything to her, Su You would at most give Xu Jinxi some minor punishment.
In the banquet hall downstairs, Xu Zhenqu and his family of five attended the banquet.
Xu Zhenqu wanted to make friends with more powerful people through this banquet of the Su family. Although the Xu family was one of the most wealthy families in the capital, they were not yet truly powerful.
Ying Wanshu took Xu Zhenqu's arm and talked with other wealthy businessmen, while the other three went to find their friends in the circle to make friends with the young masters and young ladies of the wealthy families.
At this time, a waiter carrying red wine and champagne was quietly moving in one direction.
Xu Jinxi was talking with the second young lady of the Ning family when she heard a scream from behind her. The moment she turned around, she felt something liquid rushing towards her face.
She only had time to protect her face when she suddenly felt a chill in front of her body, and her nude dress was stained with a mixture of red wine and champagne.
Xu Jinxi lowered his head and his face turned pale.
