Listening to the men's roars and the women's cursing in the fire, Ji Zhinan curled the corners of his lips, turned his head and left gracefully.
——————
After leaving the abandoned factory, it was already past five in the morning when Ji Zhinan returned to Ji's residence.
A ray of light appeared on the eastern horizon, the sky was just turning light, and it was as quiet as ever outside.
Ji Zhinan walked into the bathroom, took off her black dress, and used hot water to wash away the burnt smell on her body.
It was almost seven o'clock when she came out of the bathroom.
She walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. The sunlight poured into the room through the window, and the dark room was instantly filled with light.
Ji Zhinan walked around to the table and sat down, turned on the computer, entered the password, and a line graph as complicated as an electrocardiogram appeared on the screen. A passerby could recognize at a glance that it was a stock K-line chart.
Ji Zhinan was looking at the stock charts of the Mu and Ji families.
She once saw a sentence like this: If you want to destroy something, you must first understand it thoroughly, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop, leaving it no room for resistance.
Ji Zhinan is now like a wolf in the dark, ready to pounce, waiting for them to reveal their flaws.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was a deafening knock on the door. Ji Zhinan's eyes changed and he stared at the door vigilantly. His hands had already made a move and he immediately closed the computer.
She stood up and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened it, she bumped into Aunt Min's impatient old face.
"Why lock the door? You're so slow to open it!"
"Second Miss, you are really something. You are not young anymore at the age of twenty, but why are you still so ignorant? When I was with Madam..."
Ji Zhinan narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and leaned against the door frame, his eyes shone with a hint of coldness: "You and Madam have been together for so many years, but instead of being respectful, you've learned to be rude, insubordinate, and lecture the master?"
Aunt Min glared and rolled her eyes, not taking Ji Zhinan seriously at all: "So what if you are a young lady? I have been with Madam for so many years, and we are like sisters and family. No matter how you look at it, I am no less humble than a young lady like you. Are you worthy of my preaching? I am here to see the eldest young lady!"
It turned out that he was looking for Ji Zhixia.
Her voice was clear and cold, and she spoke at a steady pace: "No matter how beautiful, she is still a crow, and no matter how poor, she is still a phoenix. A crow can never become a phoenix, just like a servant can never be a master. Aunt Min should understand her own identity. If you are restless and want to replace the master, then our Ji family will not tolerate you."
Ji Zhinan gave a nonchalant smile, and looked at Aunt Min with those beautiful eyes, with no concealment of the mockery in them.
Aunt Min tensed up at the look in her eyes: "What do you want to do?"
Ji Zhinan stood up straight, turned around, and said with an attitude of "goodbye, I won't see you off": "If you can't even take care of the eldest lady, what do we in the Ji family need a useless servant like you for? Are we just waiting for you to get your pension?"
"You!" Aunt Min glared at her angrily, pulled her hand, and refused to let her into the house: "Ji Zhinan, who do you think you are talking to!"
Aunt Min, who was used to being arrogant and domineering in the Ji family, had never suffered such humiliation before. She lost her mind and stretched out her hand to slap him out of habit.
Ji Zhinan narrowed his eyes, unable to suppress his anger. He grabbed her wrist with his left hand and slapped her with his right hand without mercy.
“Bang!”
With the loud slap, the world seemed to be silent.
“…” Aunt Min’s head was buzzing and her eyes were wide open. She had not yet recovered from the shock.
Was she beaten?
