Ji Beichen couldn't help but laugh as he watched the little girl's cheeks bulge out from being stuffed with a strawberry, making her look like a little hamster.
I walked over and handed her the doll, then casually poked her cheek.
A child's skin is soft and warm to the touch.
"How could a little girl like you know something I don't even know?" Ji Beichen casually pinched her cheek, and for the first time, he didn't control his strength well, pinching Qiqi's face until it was deformed.
"Ouch!" Qiqi tilted her head to the side following his movement. "Big brother, you're hurting me!"
Ji Beichen quickly let go, looking at the red mark on the little girl's fair cheek, as well as the death stares from her grandparents, fifth uncle, and fifth aunt. This man, who was usually eloquent and in control at the negotiating table, found himself unable to utter a single rebuttal!
He really didn't use much force, but the little guy's skin was just too delicate.
"I'm sorry, little sister, I didn't mean it."
"It's okay, big brother, I forgive you!" Qiqi waved her hand generously.
Ji Beichen was amused by her mature-for-her-age manner and steered the conversation back on track, "Why did you say that I would meet a vixen and end up like that?"
"I can tell from my older brother's face!" Qiqi said crisply. "I'm very accurate at reading faces, I'm never wrong!"
After saying that, she leaned closer to take a look, clicked her tongue, and said, "Big brother, you're already a vixen!"
"You ran into her?" For some reason, Ji Beichen thought of the woman the driver had accidentally hit in the underground parking garage earlier that day.
Thinking of that face hidden by long hair, Ji Beichen couldn't help but frown.
Such a timid and hesitant person is more like bad luck, and a vixen... I'm afraid she doesn't even qualify!
"Yeah, didn't big brother find something she deliberately left behind?" Qiqi played with her doll while feeding herself, and out of consideration for the gift her big brother gave her, she kindly reminded him, "Big brother, things are inanimate, but people are alive. Things can be forged or stolen, but people can't be changed!"
Ji Beichen is not stupid. On the contrary, the Ji family members are all highly intelligent, and his ability to start a company on his own and make it so successful shows that he is many times more outstanding than ordinary people.
So he immediately understood the deeper meaning in Qiqi's words, frowned, and secretly made a mental note of it, preparing to investigate it carefully later.
Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her older brother's expression had changed after she gave him her advice.
With the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, she couldn't say too much; everything depended on her older brother.
However, it seems that, while the fate of my uncle's family may not have completely changed, it is at least no longer as tragic as before.
Moreover, with his older brother's abilities and skills, as long as he has doubts and is willing to investigate, he will always be able to find the suspicious points and uncover the truth.
All she needs to do in this process is provide appropriate assistance!
"Aren't you at work? Why are you back at this hour?" With Qiqi's reminder, Grandpa Ji believed that his eldest grandson could handle things on his own, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked why he had suddenly come back.
Ji Beichen then remembered and quickly said, "I came back to get a document; we'll need it for the meeting later. Grandpa, I'll go get the document first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ji Beichen took the documents and left in a hurry.
On the way, he called his assistant and asked him to send someone to investigate Shen Yan's matter.
At the same time, investigate the woman whose face was covered by long hair and whose features were not visible.
The woman dropped her documents on the ground, and although he didn't directly help pick them up, his driver did, so maybe that's indirectly considered him doing it too?
It must be said that it was precisely because of his caution that the first wife was able to completely escape her original fate.
Qiqi was unaware of this; at that moment, she was happily swinging her legs, receiving food from Madam Ji and Grandpa Ji.
Ji Chengfeng watched with envy, wanting to join in the joy of feeding his precious daughter, but he couldn't squeeze in. He could only say sourly, "Mom and Dad, please stop feeding her. Qi Bao just ate breakfast not long ago, and she'll have lunch soon. If you keep feeding her like this, how will she eat anything else?"
Before the old man and woman could get angry, Qiqi preemptively contradicted her father, saying, "Don't worry, Dad, Qiqi can eat it!"
Ji Chengfeng: ...
Of course he knew his precious daughter could eat; her little stomach was like a perpetual motion machine.
If you put more food in, it will all be digested in no time.
I don't know how someone with such a small frame can digest so much food in the blink of an eye.
Little did he know, it was because Qiqi had a cheat device—the Digestion Talisman!
With the digestive talisman, she could eat all day long without stopping and still digest everything completely.
Seeing her husband speechless, Madam Ji smiled gently beside her.
That's ridiculous. At her age, I don't know where she gets such jealousy from. She even gets jealous of her husband and wife.
Seeing that his wife wasn't helping him, Ji Chengfeng felt even more aggrieved.
Just as she was about to struggle a bit more, a noise came from the entrance hall, and Ji Jinnian walked in with Sheng Fan. (Sorry, everyone, I mixed up the second and third brothers' names before. I will correct them one by one later. For now, I'll change it back to the second brother's original name. I apologize for any inconvenience!)
"Why are you here? Aren't you in class?" Ji Chengfeng's suppressed anger flared up as he turned to his second son, who had skipped class. "Skipping class during class time, Ji Jinnian, you've really grown some guts!"
The thirteen-year-old boy was already tall and slender, as upright as bamboo.
Faced with her father's sudden anger, she didn't indulge him. She calmly pushed up her glasses and said, "Old Master Sheng had something urgent to discuss with me and specially asked the principal for leave on my behalf. If Dad has any objections, he can go and communicate with the principal himself."
Ji Chengfeng: ...
Well, now anyone can criticize him, right?
"You, you, you... I can't say anything to you now, are I? You're even bringing up the principal to intimidate me!"
That's just utter nonsense!
Even Madam Ji couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him angrily. "No way, Ji Chengfeng, are you getting worked up? When will this end? My son isn't your punching bag! If you keep going crazy, get out of here!"
"Wife~~~~~" Ji Chengfeng felt wronged after being scolded.
She wanted to lean in and act cute.
Madam Ji pushed him away in disgust.
"Get out of here! You're in your fifties, why are you arguing with a child!"
Ji Chengfeng: ...
He has no standing in this family anymore.
"Wife~~~~" Ji Chengfeng still wanted to cheat.
Madam Ji glared at him.
Ji Chengfeng immediately stopped saying anything and shrank to the side, looking pitiful like an abandoned puppy!
